"Wow, I'm tired. Let's go home shall we?"
"Sure, we've got a big day ahead, starting tomorrow," and with that the left the pair alone and went home, preparing for the big day that waited for them.
Chapter 15
"Seriously, how much did you two keep the money?" Hiccup asked as he and Toothless gaped at their parents. The brothers did believe that their parents kept some cash that was enough for five of them to pay for 'The Run', but seeing what their parents driving their vehicles were not part of it.
The Dodge Ram 3500 truck perfectly fit Gerard's style. The paintjob was similar to a Viper; red paint with two white stripes. The vehicle looked like a monster truck with its high suspensions and huge rims with thick tires. The roar of the engine made the brothers winced a bit because it reminded them of their father's booms. The roll bars on the bumpers were big and incredibly tough. The brothers even convince that the car wouldn't even have a scratch when ramming a vehicle.
Their mother was way different. She owned a freaking blue Ford GT40! The expensive exotic was such a beauty that made the brother gapped for a good fifteen minutes. Gerard also saw the GT for the first time but he wasn't really that surprised. He only nodded and muttered to his wife, "Good choice."
Astrid was already at RJ's house the next day as she was enjoying her ice lemonade made by RJ. It tasted different each time but all of them were great. When she was sipping her lemonade, she heard multiple engines coming towards RJ's house. She guessed that Hiccup, Toothless and the other two people were arriving. When she spotted them on the road her jaw hung loose as the lemonade flowed from her mouth, to RJ's dismay.
Four vehicles, driven side by side were dramatically coming to her view. She recognized the two black vehicles in the middle but the other two were new to her. A roaring, huge and 'muscular' Dodge Ram 3500 was driven beside the roaring Stingray while a screeching, low and 'slick' Ford GT40 was driven beside the screeching Skyline.
They parked in front of her, roared and screeched one last time before going to sleep. When the drivers stepped out of the car, Astrid dropped her glass, making Yuki jumped and RJ rubbed his forehead.
She knew that there was going to be two people that were going to help Hiccup on The Run but she didn't expect that they were the Haddocks. She recognized both Gerard and Valka as she once met them before.
"Hey, Astrid, you're here early," Hiccup greeted and her mouth opened and closed like a fish as she stared shamelessly at the Haddocks. Knowing the shock on her face, Hiccup rubbed the back of his neck. "Yeah, I know it's surprising. Come and meet them," Hiccup grabbed her hand and led her to his parents. "Astrid, these are my parents. Mom, dad, this is Astrid, a good friend of mine"
"Ahem, ahem, future wife, ahem, ahem," both Hiccup and Astrid blushed and glared at Toothless who doubled over his mirth.
"Well she's a keeper," commented Val as Gerard grinned, making the couple blushed harder. Hiccup and Astrid looked away from each other as RJ and Yuki approached them.
"Well, looks like the whole Haddocks are here. Before you all could practice on my training ground AKA my backyard, let's have some lunch first," he stated.
"But I'm not…" Astrid trailed off when she felt a hand on her shoulder. Toothless leaned into her ear from the back to whisper to her.
"Future Haddock," he whispered as he nodded towards Hiccup. All blood rushed to her face as she shrugged his hand and jogged to the front door, passing a grinning RJ who managed to whisper to her.
"Say hello to your future," if she wasn't afraid of RJ's temper, he would've been beaten into a bloody pulp.
She ate silently at the table as the Haddocks talked to each other. As time went, her eyes widened even further that they might pop out. It turned out that Gerard was Skullcrusher, a racer that always drove trucks long time ago. While Valka was Cloudjumper, a racer that always low and swift cars long time ago.
"My, she looks a lot like Stormfly," Gerard boomed making her jumped a little. Though, that statement made her curious.
"Y-you know ab-about my mother?" she stuttered. Has Hiccup been rubbing off on her? Gerard and Valka laughed uproariously.
"Of course we are! She's our colleague and a good friend," Gerard replied and Valka quietly added.
"Though, she was very short tempered," but not quiet enough for everyone to hear.
"That's similar like the girl here. OW!" Hiccup got punched in the shoulder by Astrid. "What's up with you and bruises? OW! Enough already," Astrid only turned away sharply, amusing the other three Haddocks. RJ suddenly walked in, followed closely by Yuki.
"To tell you all the truth, even her driving skill similar like her mother, only much better if she have more practice and improvise more," instead of sitting on the chair provided at the dining table, RJ chose to sat on the ground beside Yuki's plate, earning confused looks from the five people. He just shrugged his shoulders and ate his meal beside Yuki.
Starting from that day, Hiccup, Toothless, Astrid, Valka and Gerard were training hard for the preparation for The Run. The teens and Toothless were impressed of the driving skills of Gerard and Valka. Once in a while, RJ gave them some tips and tricks as he watched them training in his backyard.
These had gone for the entire month. In the morning, Hiccup and Astrid went to school like nothing happening at the afternoon to night. After school, they rushed to RJ's home where the other three were waiting for them.
RJ refused to let them training even when one of them was not present as he said to them that cooperation, coordination and communication were the most important key factors. He along with Yuki only watched them from the sidelines, often interrupted their training because of their needs for improvements. Other times, he would cut the training short to give them some rest.
Gerard and Valka along with Linda came to school one day when they gave a permission slip for a vacation for Hiccup and Astrid to the principal AKA their best friend, Gobber Belcher who also known as Grump in his days long time ago.
Finally one month of training was up and tomorrow at dawn, The Run will begin.
