"Am I Dreaming"
"Whatever anyone told you, I didn't do it!" Snotlout blurted out "Alright, alright! I'm sorry, ok?! I know I broke Tuff's mace and I put the blame at Ruffnut but it was an accident!"
Tuffnut stared wide-eyed at him "You what?!" Tuffnut screeched "Dude! You lied to me and also blame my sister?!" he struggled between his bindings "I swear, when I get out of here I'm going to kill you!"
"Shut up!" Astrid shouted and got both teens' attention again "I don't care about any mace! All I care about is my friend's health! Listen Snotlout cause I'm going to ask once." She glared at him and even at the distance they were apart, Snotlout still flinched. "Where were you after Ruffnut and Fishlegs left?" she asked darkly
Snotlout gulped "Tha-that's none of your business!" he snapped. He didn't want to tell her.
Astrid anticipated that and smiled sadistically "Oh really?" she unsheathed a dagger from her pants "Gee, I wonder how my aim is from this distance?" she asked herself as she threw the dagger right at Snotlout and just missed hitting his package by just a few inches. Snotlout screamed in fear and looked at Astrid terrifyingly. Astrid smiled sweetly at him in return "You were saying?"
"No!" he resisted
Astrid threw another dagger and this time it would've hit his package if he didn't raise his legs. Snotlout raised his eyebrows and stared at the dagger. "Still not talking? I might not miss the next time…" Astrid said it honestly. She was already reaching her limit and she wasn't afraid to castrate a viking like Snotlout.
"Ok, ok! I give!" Snotlout was on the verge of tears. He was scared shitless and it was showing on his face "I was peeping at Tuffnut's mom while she was changing clothes, alright?!" he confessed shamelessly.
Tuffnut was read on the face. "Dude! Seriously my mom?! What the actual fuck is wrong with you?!" Tuffnut snapped
Snotlout glared at him in return "I didn't have a choice, ok! Astrid is obviously off-limits along with Heather! Ruffnut is obviously with Fish and I was drunk! There was no way for me to make smart decisions during my drunken state!"
"Since when did you make smart decisions?!" Tuffnut shouted with venom. "I would've understood if it was Ruffnut you were peeping at but my mom?! I'll remember this man" he said with gritted teeth.
While the two best friends were fighting, Astrid down below was trying her best not to explode out of frustration.
It was then that Hiccup arrived to look at the scene infront of him. Snotlout and Tuffnut were shouting curse words towards each other while his fiancé was twitching where she stood. He approached Astrid cautiously and put his hand on her shoulder. She looked at him in the eye. When she realized it was Hiccup, she visibly relaxed and sighed.
"This is getting us nowhere. What're we going to do?"
Hiccup thought about it. "Well… why don't we go back to Ruffnut and ask her if she remembered anything from what happened at all"
Astrid sighed "Fine… but first" she said as she climbed the mast where Snotlout and Tuffnut were tied up to. "You two have probably learned your lessons, probably" she said as she retrieved her daggers and cut the rope off of them. Snotlout hugged the mast while Tuffnut fell and miraculously landed on the water below.
Astrid jumped and landed softly on the boat where the mast was connected. Astrid walked towards Hiccup and grabbed his hand.
"Let's go" she simply said and started pulling Hiccup towards where Ruffnut and the others were probably still talking.
It took about 10 minutes for Astrid and Hiccup to get back to the waterfall because they were taking their time. Astrid realized that rushing things would only make them worse. Astrid was actually impressed with Hiccup. Not only was he being nonchalant about the whole thing but he was also helping her relax. Maybe he would win this time, maybe.
When they got to the waterfall, nobody was there to greet them. Hiccup raised an eyebrow while Astrid groaned. Why did these things keep happening to her?
"Ruff? Heather? Cami? Where are you guys?" she shouted but no reply came.
"Maybe they got bored and left…" Hiccup suggested
"Of course they would. They were with Ruffnut. She was bound to think of something to get them in trouble, more importantly get us in trouble."
Hiccup's eyes widened. "Odin's beard! You're right! We must find them at once!" he said as he started running towards the village. Astrid smiled to herself. She knew that that would get him. That meant the she won the bet again.
Hiccup ran back towards her and he smirked which confused her. "Nice try Astrid"
"What do you mean?" she feigned innocence
"I know what you're trying to do. You want me to worry so that I'll lose the bet" he shook his head "Sorry, not gonna happen" he said as he stood by Astrid's side and waiting for her to make her move.
Astrid groaned while she started walking. Hiccup's smirk widened when he realized that he had won that one. He started following her. On the outside, he might look he didn't care but deep down inside, he was panicking. He didn't know what those girls would do but he knew that it was something bad.
Astrid decided to torture Hiccup later and both of the teens started jogging towards the town. When they got there, all they could hear was screams of terror from Snotlout and Tuffnut. Astrid and Hiccup could guess why. They ran towards the source of the screams and were confronted with a very weird sight.
Tuffnut and Snotlout were once again tied up but this time it was by their feet and they were suspended by a column. Ruffnut was cackling maniacally while tossing a dagger between her hands, probably using it to threaten the tied up teens. Astrid wanted to laugh at Snotlout's crying face but the situation didn't call for it. Once again, she and Hiccup were going to play peacemaker.
"Astrid, good thing you're here!" Ruffnut happily greeted the girl "I was about to castrate these two idiots! While I take my soon-to-be dickless brother, I want you to do the same to Snotlout" she cackled once again.
"Please don't" Snotlout whimpered
Astrid looked towards Cami and Heather standing by the side. Both teens just shrugged at her and her shoulders slumped. "Ruffnut…" she said slowly "You don't even know if they did it…" she reasoned
"But he was sleeping in my bed, naked!" she pointed her dagger towards Tuffnut. "How else are we going to explain what happened that night when most, if not all, of us were drunk?!" Ruffnut waved her dagger around and almost hitting Tuffnut by it.
"Hmm… Someone who could see the past…" Hiccup mused as he rubbed his chin in thought. "Nope… I got nothing…"
"Look…" Astrid sighed "Why don't all of you try to recollect everything that happened that night try to piece together."
"Yeah, yeah… That's a great idea!" Snotlout blurted out. He didn't know how he got involved in this craziness but he wasn't planning in staying to find out what happens next
Ruffnut contemplated about this. Astrid was somewhat right. She couldn't really blame his brother when she didn't even know what happened. After a few minutes of awkward silence, Ruffnut sighed and released Snotlout and Tuffnut.
"Well?" Ruffnut crossed her arms as she waited for their part of the story. Tuffnut looked at Snotlout and they had a silent conversation since Snotlout suddenly nodded and looked back at girls.
Snotlout clapped his hands together and smiled nervously "Well then… bye!" he said as both teenage boys bolted away from the teens. It took Ruffnut of about five seconds before she comprehended what happened.
Ruffnut's eyes narrowed dangerously while she bared her teeth.
"Astrid?" she growled
Astrid was still astounded from what happened "Yeah?"
"What punishment would I get if I maim my brother plus one?"
"Hmm… Hiccup?" Astrid motioned towards his fiancé who was silently laughing behind his hand
"Oh, you know, the usual banishment of a month" Hiccup snicked
"That will do" she said as she ran after her twin and Snotlout
It took about ten more minutes before Ruffnut finally cornered the two male teens at Acne's house of all places. Ruffnut had Tuffnut by neck while she shook him until he turned blue. It was then when Acne went outside and smacked Hiccup and Astrid on the head.
"What did I do?!" Hiccup glared at the old shaman infront of him
"Yer de responsible one! And because o' yer stoopid competition wit' de geel ye disturbed me slumber!" Acne snapped back
Astrid's eyes widened "How did you know about our bet" she asked astonishingly
Acne gave her a toothy grin "I jus' know lass" she then turned her attention towards the fighting twins "Nao listin' here ye kids! Either ye stop figtin' or I'll finish it!"
Both teens knew better than to anger the village shaman so they did what they were told and stopped.
"Nao… tell me wut is wrong wit ye kids?!" Acne snapped
