Previously on Chasing You,
"Well then, I'll see you on the battlefield then," and with that Drago and Annie walked away at the same time as the PDAs they were obtained from the men in black lit up and spoke in a robotic female voice.
"Start your engines"
Chapter 17
"The first race will begin from Dragon Island to the city of Hopeless, four hundred kilometers in total distance via highway. The last racer and the racers that does not manage to cross the finishing line at the destination will be eliminated," the PDAs spoke. Everyone was already in their vehicles, eager to start the race.
Hiccup put on his black leather fingerless gloves as the countdown from the first racer that arrived here in Dragon Island started as the rule stated that the first racer that arrived will be the first one to go. He gripped the steering wheel as he lined up the line of vehicles with his gang/family behind him.
"Racer 72, vehicle: 1969 Chevrolet Stingray. You may go," at the exact time the PDA said 'go', Hiccup slammed the throttle and the Stingray roared as the front wheels lifted from the ground a little. He then slowed down a bit, waiting for the others.
"Racer 73, vehicle: Nissan Skyline R34. You may go," the screeching skyline showed up behind him.
"Racer 74, vehicle: Nissan 370Z. You may go," the hissing 370Z appeared.
"Racer 75, vehicle: Ford GT40. You may go," the swift GT40 showed up.
"Racer 76, vehicle: Dodge Ram 3500. You may go," the monstrous Ram 3500 arrived.
The five vehicles formed into a straight line, one car was only a few inches from another, with Hiccup on the front and Gerard on the far back. With this formation, they all were slipstreaming and can raced faster than ever. They had been practicing this for a while so they don't bump into each other and their eyes on the road were Hiccup since he was the front.
"Racer 77, vehicle: Hennessey Venom GT. You may go. Racer 78, vehicle: Bugatti Veyron SuperSport. You may go," the PDA announced that made an adrenaline rushed through their veins as the fastest couple was right behind them.
Slowly, coming from behind, the Venom and the Veyron drove on each side of the formation, mocking them at the process. The two vehicles stayed on both side of the roaring Stingray before they zoomed at a very high speed.
That made Hiccup's blood boiled but managed to calm him himself down. He increased his speed but not that much. Every once in a while he would talk through the walkie-talkie to warn the others about a bent or moving to the other lane.
As the time passed, the five passed a lot of racers, along with some civilians on the highway. Hiccup knew that racers that left behind would not be happy about them passing by at high speed. Through the entire journey to the city of Hopeless was normal, they might say and the sun was still high when they arrived.
"1969 Chevrolet Stingray finished at thirteenth place," the PDA spoke when Hiccup and his family arrived at the city of Hopeless. It wasn't surprise to them when they heard Drago and Annie finished at first and second place. And it looked like Scotty and Heather were still on the race.
The racers were gathered at a clearing near a huge mansion, waiting for everyone to arrive. By the time where the sun was in the middle of the sky, the PDA spoke again.
"Nissan 350Z, arriving at ninety-eighth place, is eliminated," that conclude the current stage. Now, there were ninety-seven racers.
"Well, ninety-seven stages to go," Toothless commented as everyone got onto their car, searching for a place to stay.
"The next stage will start tomorrow afternoon," the PDA spoke.
Over the course of those three stages went pretty normal to the five of them, but they weren't going to be fool that it will be going forever. At one point, there will be actions. Gerard, for being once experience being a police officer, knew that these will stir up the police department. His guess was the police will be using a stronger force at the seventh stage.
The number of racers reduced went pretty quickly, due to accidents or out of fuels or got caught by the police. The Run was already at the sixth stage where only eighty-six racers left.
Hiccup, Toothless, Astrid, Valka and Gerard were at a motel, each in their own room, resting for the preparation tomorrow on their race to Freezing-To-Death across the icy road. It was going to be their seventh stage and if Gerard's prediction was real, the police department will be prepared.
It was late at night and Hiccup couldn't sleep, thinking about the race tomorrow morning. There were fewer racers now due to accidents and all. He still wouldn't celebrate for making this far and RJ was till haven't call them. His walkie-talkie spoke up.
"Hiccup?" it was Astrid. Hiccup grabbed the walkie-talkie and replied back.
"Hey, Astrid"
"Did I wake up?"
"No, I couldn't sleep"
"Yeah, me neither"
"Why?"
"Just… got a lot of something in my mind"
"Would you like to talk about it?"
"No… Yes? Maybe…"
"So, which one is your answer?"
"Let's talk about something else, shall we?"
"Sure, what do you want to talk about?"
"Are you feeling nervous about tomorrow?"
"Well, a little because according to dad the police might be ready for tomorrow. So there might be more racers getting caught and among those racers could be one of us"
"Don't think like that, Hiccup"
"Sorry, it just…"
"Tired?"
"Yeah but I couldn't sleep; I don't know why"
"Have you tried drinking milk before?"
"I drank my fifth glass tonight"
"Wow, that much and still nothing?"
"Nope"
Insert awkward silence here.
"So…"
"Um…"
"Can we…?"
"Do you…?"
They spoke at the same time.
"You go first. No, I insist you go first"
"You go first. No, I insist you go first"
Again, they spoke at the same time.
"As a gentleman, I let the lady speak first"
"As a lady, I would prefer to let you speak first or I will beat you into a pulp"
"That's not lady like"
"Then I'm not a lady"
"Oh, so you're a guy this whole time?"
"NO!"
"Then what are you?"
"I'm a girl"
"Then why did you say you're not a lady earlier?"
"There's a difference between a lady and a girl"
"No there isn't"
"Is too"
"Is not"
"Is too"
"Is not"
"Is too"
"Is not"
"Is too"
"Is not"
"I like you"
"Is – wait, what did you just say?"
"Is too"
"No, you said something else"
"You're ears' broken, Hiccup. I didn't say anything else"
"I could've sworn I heard you say something else"
"Oh yeah, then what is it?"
"'I like you'"
"I-I didn't say that!"
"Then why are you stuttering? Am I rubbing off on you?"
"N-no I'm-"
"There you go again"
"I'm not stuttering Hiccup! If you're rubbing off on me then I would've fallen for you!"
Awkward…
"Astrid…"
No reply.
"Astrid…"
No reply, yet again.
"Astrid?"
"Yes…?"
"Why with the tiny voice?"
"Oh, um… just, um…"
"There you go again, stuttering"
"Fine, okay, I'm nervous, okay. Are you happy now?"
"Not really. Why are you nervous?"
"Um…"
"Astrid"
"Yes?"
"Do you like me?"
"Um…um…"
"Because I like you"
Silence.
"Astrid?"
"Can you… repeat that? Because I could've sworn you said you like me"
"I didn't say I like you…"
"Oh"
"I love you"
That's one way on making a confession.
"I love you, Astrid"
"Well… I… I… I love you too"
"Since when have you loved me?"
"Since… last month… What about you?"
"Since the first time I caught my eyes on you"
"That's so cheesy, Hiccup"
"Well it's the truth"
"Seriously, that long?"
"Yeah"
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"You were dating with Snotlout and before that you looked like you're about to break my arm"
"Oh, well… I love you now"
"I love you too"
"Heh, I love you more"
"Well I lo-"
"You two do realize that we've been up the whole time too, did you?"
"If I had anything to say fer the two, Hank, tha' girl is my future daughter-in-law"
"I'm with ye, Stoick. So when's can I expect some grandbabies running around?"
