"Have You Gone Mad"

Stoick's glare hardened when Thuggory moved down to the docks. Surprisingly he was walking down alone. His crew was still on their ships, waiting for further commands. Thuggory was walking in a casual pace. He was clearly not intimidated by the archers readying their bows. He stopped when he was infront of Stoick and both of them were continuing their stare down.

"Boy, you've got balls to come here after what your tribe has done" Stoick said in his most serious voice. "You better have a damn good reason or I'll feed you to the dragons."

"Actually" Fishlegs spoke up, clearly forgetting about the direness of the situation, drawing attention to himself "Dragons diet consist of-hmmpfmmpm" Hiccup quickly intervened before the attention would go to them. Stoick spared them a glance before returning his glare to Meathead heir.

"I am not my father" Thuggory calmly said. He was in dangerous lands right now. He must be cautious in what he said and did. He needed to have a calm mind or risk losing their alliance for good.

"Still not convincing enough. Your father proved to us that he is not trustworthy enough to be part of our alliance. He needs to learn when to step down and when to give up"

Thuggory looked down sadly "You don't have to worry about him anymore. If you must know there is already a new chief in our tribe" he raised his head in confidence. "I'll make sure that our tribe would not do the same mistake twice"

Murmurs erupted. Many people there knew that Thuggory was talking about himself but he was still too young. He was still probably 16 years of age.

Stoick looked at him critically. Then as if passing a unmentioned requirement he nodded his head.

"Let's talk in my house." He motioned for Thuggory to follow.

The Meathead chief nodded his head and started walking with Stoick.

While all this was happening, Heather was hanging for her dear life. She never realized how hard it was to climb a mast, especially since she was holding a underwear. She started descending after she noticed that Stoick and the other guy were walking away when she slipped. She screamed, getting the attention of everyone there. She was a good ten feet above ground so the fall would cause serious damage to her. She closed her eyes and hoped that it wouldn't hurt so much when she felt a set of powerful arms catching her.

She peeked and saw that the person who caught her was none other than the teenager that was talking to Stoick earlier. He had a concerned look on his face. She had to fight off a blush since he was too close for comfort.

"Are you ok?" Thuggory asked worriedly. It was a good thing he was just a few feet away from her or she would've fallen and hurt herself. He looked closely at her and couldn't help but get lost at how beautiful she was. For the first time in his life, Thuggory felt unworthy of such goddess.

Heather noticed he was staring and couldn't help but stare back. Green orbs clash with grey ones. Time stood still for both teens. It was as if the gods forced everything around them to cease to exist and left them both alone.

"Ehem…" Stoick coughed and got both teens attention. Thuggory recovered first and let Heather down.

"Oh, uhmm are you ok, miss?" he asked awkwardly as he scratched the back of his head.

"Uhmm… Yeah… sure… I mean, I didn't fall or anything…" she forced herself to look away so she wouldn't blush.

"Uhmm… ok… so… if you'll… excuse me…" he said as he started walking towards Stoick's eyes while looking back once in a while to see if the girl he saved was real or not.

Stoick kept a straight face but was on the verge of smiling. First week together and Heather already had stolen someone's heart. He was so proud.

Everyone dispersed since Stoick and Thuggory went to the chief's house. Two of Thuggory's guards went with him just to make sure he wouldn't be ambushed. All that was left on the docks was Heather and the other teens giving her odd looks. Heather just stood there, staring off the distance where Thuggory passed.

Astrid walked next to her and waved her hand infront of her face. As she expected she didn't get a response. Astrid laughed "Wow… talk about love at first sight…"

Hiccup stood next to Astrid and frowned "No sister of mine is gonna have a relationship with a traitor"

Astrid gave Hiccup a look "Woah there Mr. Grumpy. One, they just met today and you're already looking at them like their a couple. Two, doesn't' she have the right who she wants to be with? And three, you can't just judge someone because of where he came from."

Hiccup snorted "Yes I can. Oh, by the way" he tapped Heather on the forehead and she snapped out of it "You're drooling" Hiccup smirked as Heather blushed and wiped the drool off her face.

The others finally decided to get closer.

"Hmmph" Snotlout puffed and crossed his arms "He isn't that tough looking. I could take him on even if there were two of them" he boasted.

"Hmm…" Ruffnut purred "I wouldn't mind having two of that hot stuff for myself" she licked her lips. She then turned her attention towards Hiccup "Speaking of hot stuff, does he have a name or what?"

Astrid sighed "His name is Thuggory, heir of the Meatheads or as he said earlier, the current chief of their tribe."

Ruffnut raised a brow towards her "And you know him because…?"

This time, Hiccup intervened "When we were younger and meetings were held here, Thuggory usually came with his dad to learn what it like is to be chief. Me, him and Astrid usually went to the forest to do some bit of hunting and playing tag."

"Hah! You're lying!" Snotlout called out "There was no way Astrid would want to spend time with Useless"

Astrid glared at him and gave him a solid punch to the nose.

"Ow! What was that for?!" he scrunched his face and blood was oozing from his nose

"You don't have any right to call him Useless after he humiliated you infront of us" she said coldly.

Snotlout pouted and started grumbling.

"Like Hiccup said, we used to play together but after some time he stopped coming here and we eventually just forgotten about him."

"Thuggory" everyone sans Snotlout looked at Heather as she said his name dreamily. "Do you think he would talk to me again?" she asked Astrid hopefully.

Astrid just shook her head while Hiccup scoffed.

This was definitely a very weird day.
