Chapter 17: After Party

"A swift beat, with a mellow sound as the song begins. A simple melody has to be introduced, before the main event arrives. I'm the opening act and have to introduce the others. I can't miss a key and have to make sure my introduction lives up to their name. After all I'm just a guest." A smirk formed on Jack's lips as he thought this. He'd heard each song twice and had them down to a key (no pun intended), but felt performing the songs live was far more riveting than simply listening to them. As he played the introduction on stage and the others joined in he felt as if this was really hearing the song.

Astrid's band mates had their doubts at the idea of Jack playing in their pianist place, but once he hit the stage and the crowd went silent at his skill all doubt was abandoned and nothing but excitement and magic filled the air. Astrid's and Ruffnut's guitar riffs went well with Jack's spot on playing. He even added a few tweaks to the solo's he was given and they blew the crowd away.

When their four songs were complete they were chanted back for an encore Jack took this time to sit with his friends in the crowd and allow the original members of "StormFly," to shine. They did even better without the white haired teen in his opinion and he truly enjoyed listening to their final song. As the day came to an end the four found themselves invited to the bands after party at a diner a few blocks from the park. "Should've known they'd pick "Gobber's Place"" Merida smile rolling her eyes as they walked down the city streets. "Gobber's Place?" Jack asked walking with them. "They've got the best burgers in Berk," Hiccup grinned and Jack froze at the smell. The intake of the wonderful scent instantly made his stomach growl. "I'm goanna take your word for it Hic, but I'd still like some proof," Jack smirked at the brunet making Hiccup chuckle and shake his head. "Oh your goanna get all the proof you need white hair!" Ruffnut snickered walking next to him with her brother by her side.

Walking inside the group of teens were instantly greeted with a cheer. "Heard you kids really stole the show today, Astrid." The statement came from a thick Irish accent of an older man. "Thanks Gobber, did you get a chance to see us?" The blonde asked taking a seat. "Unfortunately I didn't have the pleasure." He said to Astrid, "Your dad had me running this way and that to make sure we had enough ta eat for the festival." The older man stated looking at Hiccup. "Sorry about that Gobber. You know how he gets about community events," The brunet replied nervously. "I'd know more than anyone!" Gobber laughed patting the male on his back roughly.

Jack had taken a seat between him a Rapunzel. He arch an eyebrow at the statement. "Hey Hiccup, what's your dad got to do with the city events?" Jack asked. "Oh well_ my dad's sorta the mayor of the city." He stated happy the other teen couldn't see the nervous expression on his face. "Whoa, that's pretty cool man. Lucky you didn't have to run around today too huh?" Jack stated smiling. "Oh trust me he defiantly had me running around two weeks ago to get all the stage mechanics working." Hiccup chuckled.

"You're good with mechanics," Jack asked. Hiccup shrugged "Ah I dabble." "Dabble is a total understatement!" Astrid laughed nudging the brunet. "Ah'll say! The lad is practically locked in his tinker tower when ya leave him alone for a weekend." Merida smirked looking at her boyfriend blush. "Oh come on you guys it's not that bad," Rapunzel smiled defending her friend. "Tinker tower?" Jack arched any eyebrow at Hiccup. "I_ yeah…" He admitted with weak smile. "My Uncle North would love you man. He's a toy maker and an ice sculpture. Dude practically has a tinker workshop back home. He showed me how to do a few thing when I was younger. Not sure if any of the lessons paid off though," Jack smiled making the young mechanic lift his head in surprise. "Really?" Hiccup questioned. "Yeah, I loved watching him make stuff and like hearing it even more. We'd play this game where, whenever he used different tools to make stuff I'd guess what the tools were by the sound and then figure out the what the toy he made was by touch." He explained and Hiccup hung on every word. "That's pretty cool," Hiccup smiled. Jack grinned, "I know right."

"So what can I get you kids tonight?" Asked the waitress for their table of six. "To celebrate an awesome first show YACK BEER FOR THE TABLE!" Astrid shouted making everyone cheer. Jack once again questioned, "Yack bee?" Rapunzel whispered to him with a smile in her voice, "Trust me it tastes better than it sounds." Jack nodded taking her word for it, as the menus were sat out for them.

Jack felt the smooth menu and looked to Rapunzel beside him. "Hey Punzie. You mind reading the menu to me. It's too smooth and I can't read it." He explained, and she nodded saying, "Of course. But you want to whole menu?" She questioned. "If it's not too much to asked, but if you have any recommendations that works too. I'll eat just about anything," He shrugged. "I could read for you," Jack lifted his head to a voice in front of him. It was one of the band members, "Fishlegs is right. He knows the whole menu by heart," Hiccup noted. "Seriously?" Jack questioned and Fishlegs shrugged, "Yeah I eat here all the time and have had just about everything on the menu so." Jack smiled and nodded at the teen across from him.

"You don't mind do you Rapunzel seeing as I asked you first," he said looking at the blonde beside him. "Oh of course not. I was worried I'd get something wrong in the first place. Fishlegs go ahead." She motioned to the boy in front of them. Fishlegs began naming appetizers, to on trays, to dessert, drinks and prices. As he spoke his speed increase and was it was difficult for a lot of people to follow, but Jack didn't seem to have a problem with it. "Fishlegs." The blonde stopped at Hiccups voice and looked up at him. "Might wanna slow down bud. Jack's gotta hear everything to remember it." "Oh sorry," Fishlegs replied his voice expressed embarrassment.

"Its fine man I got it," Jack said now thinking of his order. "Whoa seriously? You weren't kidding when you told this guy was amazing Mer." Fishlegs smiled pointing at Jack. The white haired teen leaned back to face Merida with a smirk. "You talked about me?' He asked with an arched eyebrow. "Ah didn't say he was amazing. I just said ya had an amazing fight'n ability!" She exclaimed trying to hide her embarrassment. "You still said amazing though," Jack noted. "Don't get a big head Frost!" Merida barked making the table laugh.

While Hiccup calmed the red head down, Rapunzel asked Jack if he knew what he wanted to eat. "I think I've got an idea. The Hooligan Hamburger sounded pretty good to me." He replied. "I'm more of a fish person, so I'm going with yellow tail eel," The blonde replied. "Hmmm never took you for an eel person," Jack stated and Rapunzel waved her finger, shaking her head in disappointment, "Tsk, tsk, tsk Jack never judge a book by its cover." The young ma laughed at the words and imagined to motion to girl made. "You gotta point there Punzie." The two broke into laughter while everyone talked, the sound of a mug landing in front of him calmed the laughter down. "So this is yack beer?" Jack asked smelling the substance.

It reminded him of a white chocolate milkshakes he had back home. He took hold of the thick wooden mug and was about to drink when he was stopped by Astrid shouting, "Wait! A toast! For a rock'n first show, that probably wouldn't have happened if not for Jack! So here to Jack! The newest member of Berk Family!" The diner irrupted in cheers, shouts and whistles as everyone at the table took a big swing of their yack beer.

Jack would never forget the sweet, thick cream that electrified his taste buds. Yack beer was definitely something he could drink every day. The taste of this new substance may have been unforgettable, but the day he'd just had with the friends he's made was far more memorable than any taste, touch or smell. Jack had found a second home in Berk and he loved it.

So we got the whole HTTD crew in story! I'm so excited to work with them and see how to make their relationship with Jack work.

I'm sure Fishlegs and Astrid will be cool as ever about it, but I'm still kinda wondering how the twins will play out. If anyone has any ideas PLEASE let me know!
