Hello everybody, I'm finally back! Okay, I'd just like to say a few things. The first is thank you to all my lovely reviewers! You guys are the best and thanks for sticking with me!
The second is that I am so, so, soooo sorry for not updating in forever! I have a few reasons/excuses but I don't want to bore you with them.
The third is… well, I don't really have anything else that I need to say- wait! The third is that I would really like it if you could send in a dare/truth or two for Phoenix? She feels left out which is why she wanted to join in the Yaknog dare in the first place.
IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ! Lastly, I'm only going to be accepting requests via PM. Sorry all you guest readers, but this story might be deleted if I use any more requests via review. :/
Phoenix: *grinning* Hello everyone! I am feeling much better since last chapter when Astrid teased me, *looks over at a dunking booth that you see at carnivals and in movies (what is that called anyway?) where a soaked Astrid is trying to climb out of* she won't do it again.
Astrid: Too right. *mumbles, as she is still trying to climb out*
Hiccup: … *snickers in background*
Phoenix: I think she's learnt her lesson. *tossing one of the balls that you throw at the targets on those booths up and down in her hand* I don't own: Httyd, RotG, Brave, Tangled, Harry Potter, or The Big Bang Theory. Please don't sue 'cause I forgot the disclaimer for the last two chapters or so!
Now I'm going to reply your reviews;
ScarletNightFury: Thanks? I'm pretty sure that meant you liked it. :)
Poke-Potter-Pitch.1: Thank you, and I do know that. Haha, it would be a bit strange to randomly laugh so of course people are going to send you weird looks. Oh 3P, *sigh* you know that I'm not gonna do that.
Sage of Fanfiction: Thanks for all of your suggestions! Maybe you could send me some more for the next chapter… I'm gonna use the rest of them next chapter, I just really wanted to post this!
Pokemonlover0754: You mean that creepy one, don't you? Why did I even read that? It's one of the secrets of the universe… *shivers*
DragonDreamer1011: Not this chapter, but I will get up to it! Mainly because I'm gonna have to read it first…
Guest: Thank you! *excitedly squeals* This is really the funniest thing you've ever read?!
DinoRhino: Thank you as well! I really like your story and I can't believe that you read one of mine! :D So happy!
Hito me Bore: Well… thanks for letting me know, and I'm only accepting PM requests from now on, so that fixes the problem.
*Excited fangirl squealing!* I can't believe I got so many reviews since last chapter! I'm so happy! :') Now, onwards, brave knights, to victory (or the story, either one will do)!
Everyone was still enjoying finishing off their chocolate. They were all sitting on their couches or chairs and happily munching away. Phoenix stuck her last piece of chocolate in her mouth and sucked on it, loving the flavour (now I'm hungry!). Once she had finished she sat up.
"Hey everyone, you have five minutes to finish eating and then we'll continue with the dares and truths." She stated, and a lot of people rolled their eyes or groaned. "I'm sure they're not going to be as bad as the Yaknog one, and I might even join in for some of them."
Everyone knew that Phoenix had been the most affected the last (and so far only) time that she had joined in with them. While most of them had thrown up from the Yaknog, she had fainted. A few people sent her either awed, surprised, or weird looks, as if asking if she was crazy. That was debatable.
She ignored them, and stood up from her couch and walked over to the dragons (you thought I'd forgotten them, didn't you? :)). She started playing around with them while she waited for everyone else to finish their chocolate.
It wasn't long until about half of the people had finished, and since those half were the HTTYD crew they wandered over to her and the dragons as well. It was about two minutes later that everyone had finished everything, and Phoenix and the HTTYD crew walked back over to them.
Phoenix took out her notebook to check for anymore truths or dares. "Okay, the next dare is for everybody," Phoenix started, and everyone shrugged, at least Phoenix was going to do it with them, "except me." Phoenix finished.
"What!" Everyone cried, outraged.
Phoenix cringed, and hastened to explain, "It wasn't my choice!" She exclaimed over everyone else, and they quietened. "The person that sent in the dare, Sage of Fanfiction, specifically wrote down that I can't join in with this one."
"Why?" Hiccup asked.
Phoenix checked the dare again. "It doesn't actually say this, but if I did join in then mass mayhem and destruction would most likely rain down on us."
"Oh…" Hiccup trailed off, not sure what to make of that or if he should believe her.
Ruffnut and Tuffnut were grinning eagerly. "Please, please, PLEASE join in!" They begged her while on their knees.
"I love mass mayhem and destruction!" Ruffnut shouted.
"No, I love mass mayhem and destruction!" Tuffnut argued, and the pair disappeared in a massive tangle of punching arms and kicking legs. Most people ignored them.
"Sorry guys, but I can't. Like I said, Sage of Fanfiction specifically said that I couldn't." Phoenix actually looked and sounded apologetic and disappointed, so most people forgave her, even though they did moan and grumble.
"So what is this dare that could cause mass mayhem and destruction if you joined in?" Stoick asked nervously. Yes, the great Stoick the Vast was nervous. Of a dare… and subconsciously Phoenix, a teenager about three-quarters his height and about a tenth of his width (or smaller, not exactly sure what a tenth of his width is).
Phoenix checked her notebook again. "Oh nothing much, Sage of Fanfiction has dared me to switch around everyone's minds and put them in different bodies. In simpler terms, a mind swap."
It was silent for all of about two seconds with crickets chirping in the background, when, "WHAT!" echoed around the room.
Phoenix flinched and muttered, "Damn super-good hearing!"
"We have to switch bodies with someone?!" Hiccup asked and exclaimed at the same time.
"Uh, yep." Phoenix answered, popping the 'p'.
"Is it completely random?" Jack asked, as he silently added; or do you get to choose and torture us? Everyone heard his unspoken words.
"Uh, yep." Phoenix answered, popping the 'p' and ignoring his unspoken question. A few people sighed in relief. At least she couldn't choose whose body they would get. She was sure to put them in the bodies of someone they hated or something along those lines.
"So you don't get to choose?" Elsa asked, just to make sure.
"Uh, no." Phoenix answered, sounding disappointed. Whether it was because she couldn't choose which body they would get or if it was because she couldn't pop any 'p's in that sentence, they would never know. (And neither will you! :D)
Astrid had actually been thinking ahead, and she voiced a very good question. "What will happen when we change bodies? And will we change back anytime soon?" (One question, two questions, what's the difference? ;))
"Good question Astrid, we'll just do all of the truths and some of the dares in the different bodies, then you guys will change back and do the other dares that you will need your own bodies for." Phoenix reassured her, and Astrid looked relived that she wouldn't be in a potentially hated body for too long.
"So… when will we start the dare?" Fishlegs asked quietly and nervously, his eyes darting across the room frantically as beads of sweat started appearing on his face.
"How about…" Phoenix trailed off for a moment, mocking them in a way (although it was only because she was disappointed that she couldn't join in), "… right now?!" She finished, and clicked.
Straight away everyone (excluding Phoenix) felt a sort of dizzy sensation as black spots danced across their vision. The black dots expanded, and soon they couldn't see anything. Nobody moved at all in fear that they would trip or crash into someone else. Then they all just suddenly collapsed at the same time, but some of them hit the ground quicker than others.
From Phoenix's perspective you could see ghostly versions of everyone float out of their bodies and towards a random body that was on the ground. Soon they were all groaning and trying to sit up. Most of them were not very successful.
"How was the trip?" Phoenix's amused voice reached the ears of everyone there, and as one they all turned to her. They all confusedly blinked at her. At the same time. Like the trolls in Frozen. It was creepy.
"I feel like I was hit by a truck." Whoever was in Spitelout's body commented, and Phoenix started bursting out in laughter.
Everyone looked bitterly at her as she tried to calm down. It worked, but it took a few minutes. "Oh… sorry…" She panted, but was soon overcome with a fit of giggles, "… it's just… really funny… seeing… all of you… look so..." she struggled to find the right words. "… OOC." She finally settled on, and everyone looked blankly at her.
"OOC?" The person in Eugene's body asked.
"Out of character." She quickly explained, and a lot of them nodded in understanding. "Okay, so everyone stand up." Phoenix ordered, and everyone did so as quickly as possible for their new bodies. For some of them it was about a second, others a few seconds, and some of them even needed to have several tries before they were able to.
"Now that you're all standing, get in a line." Everyone did. "Now say your name along the line. Person closest to me goes first." She looked at Jack's body expectantly.
"Uh, Hiccup." Jack's body, or Hiccup, stated. He sounded pretty happy with his new body. He didn't feel anywhere near as awkward or clumsy as normal. In fact, he felt very quick and agile in his new body, not to mention powerful. He also had all of his limbs! The only downside was that he had a strange feeling that something was missing. It didn't feel as if he was exactly… alive. His skin was as cold as ice, and he couldn't feel any warmth. But at the same time the cold that he was feeling felt warm to him. If that even made any sense. (Not really.)
Next was Merida's body. "Astrid." She didn't sound too disappointed at all. She was pleased. She was older than she normally was, but she still had a similar build, and she noticed that her new body was very strong, quick and agile. Just like her.
Then it was Hiccup's body. "Snotlout." He muttered, sounding sulky. Phoenix stared, Hiccup (or his voice) sounded weird when he was sulky. She giggled, how ironic that Snotlout would get his cousin's body.
Astrid's body. "Ruffnut." She stated gleefully.
Stoick's body. "Tuffnut." He grinned stupidly. Not something you see every day. At least, not with Stoick.
Eugene's body. "Fishlegs." He sounded excited, and as Phoenix was about to continue down the line she saw him looking down at his feet in amazement. She raised an eyebrow, but she figured that Fishlegs hadn't been able to see his feet when he was standing up for years.
Rapunzel's body. "Stoick." He tried to mutter gruffly, but it didn't work and it was still very girly so he scowled adorably.
Ruffnut's body. "Gobber." He stated. Phoenix thought that she heard a little bit of pride in his normally indifferent voice as he wriggled the fingers on his left hand. She was sure he was also wriggling the toes on his right foot as well. (Just too clear things up, I'm gonna say 'his voice' and 'her voice' but it is said in the voice of the body they are in.)
Snotlout's body. "Spitelout." He said in an annoyed voice. Phoenix wasn't sure why, after all he was still his flesh and blood.
Elsa's body. "Anna!" She was definitely excited, and Phoenix could see why, but she still avoided walking right in front of her. Just in case.
Anna's body. "Elsa." She was smiling, and Phoenix could tell that she was happy to be her own flesh and blood let alone a girl.
Hans' body. "Kristoff." He sounded disgusted, and Phoenix could tell why.
Fishlegs' body. "Hans." He also sounded disgusted, obviously at his new body, but Phoenix couldn't care less. She glared hatefully at him as she passed.
Tuffnut's body. "Eugene." He didn't sound overly enthusiastic about his new body, but he didn't sound too disappointed either. He could've had worse.
Kristoff's body. "Rapunzel." She didn't sound very disappointed, but you could tell that she'd wanted to be a girl. Phoenix patted her shoulder in sympathy.
Spitelout's body. "Jack." He actually sounded really pleased with his new body. He finally had some muscles and he was living and warm.
Finally it was Gobber's body, which was at the end of the line. "Merida." She sounded rather frustrated with her new body, because not only was her speed and agility gone, but so were a few of her limbs.
Phoenix looked at her in sympathy as well, but didn't dare touch her. God knows how unpredictable Merida is. "Okay guys, now we're gonna do all of the truths and a few dares. Then I'll switch you back into your own bodies so that you can do the rest of them." She got a few nods of acceptance, but about a third of them were sulking about their new bodies.
"Ugh!" Phoenix groaned, face-palming as she saw a few of them act like babies. "Honestly, it's not like you're gonna be stuck in those bodies forever! You should all be grateful! At least all of you get a chance to try something new! If I joined in then the person with my body would also have all of my author powers, which could cause mass mayhem and destruction if used by someone that wants to use them for evil, someone inexperienced or the twins! That means that I'll never get to try it, because even though I'd probably still have enough of my power in my new body to change everyone back I might be blocked by the power in my own body, or I might not have enough power, after all I wouldn't know because I've never tried it!"
Everyone was shocked for a few moments by the savagery and sadness of that speech, and hearing it come from Phoenix made it worse. They may have only known her for a single day, but they could tell that she didn't easily get upset or angry often unless she was being hit on by Snotlout.
Everyone, even the people that were happy with their new bodies and Hans-Fishlegs (the person's mind is first, body second) had the grace to look ashamed of themselves, although Hans-Fishlegs might have been looking sorry for himself, it was hard to tell in this light. "Sorry." Hiccup-Jack muttered, and everyone echoed him.
Phoenix breathed deeply for a moment to help her calm down and clear her head. "It's okay," she said finally, "I've just been feeling a little left out and lonely recently, I mean, I'm here alone almost all day every day, and then I bring all of you here, and you're all so distant and annoyed with me, but all I wanted was to hang out with someone. So I did it the only way I knew how. I kidnapped all of you from wherever you were and whatever you were doing to play truth or dare with me." Everyone looked ashamed of themselves, and even Hans had a hint of pity in his eyes. Hiccup in Jack's body put an arm around her, but then he and everyone else cringed as she continued, raising her voice as she did. "And then all of you act all annoyed and angry about the dares that I didn't even make, and are all angry at me!"
Now everyone was definitely ashamed of themselves, and about half of them vowed to stop being such bad guests and start being more enthusiastic about the whole thing. And they definitely vowed to stop making Phoenix feel so bad. Everyone apologized again, and Phoenix smiled.
"Now are all of you going to appreciate this opportunity and start having good sportsmanship? Or will I have to put all of you in a carnival dunking game and soak you until you agree to be good sports like I did to Astrid earlier?" Phoenix asked sweetly, not realising her mistake.
"Wait, what? What do you mean? I was never in a… carnival… dunking… game…?" Astrid-Merida said, ending in more of a question then a statement.
"Uh… you didn't hear anything!" Phoenix exclaimed, and disappeared, reappearing a few feet behind the group.
"Um…?" Everyone said/asked, as they hadn't expected a reaction like that. They also didn't know Phoenix could teleport, but it didn't really surprise them. After this, they felt that nothing Phoenix said or did would surprise them. Needless to say, they were wrong.
"Okay!" Phoenix exclaimed loudly, and the group jumped about a foot in the air and turned around at exactly the same time.
They blinked at her in surprise (told you!) and shock at the same time. Again.
It was creepy. Again.
"The first truth is for Hiccup." Phoenix stated, and she looked at him critically. He smiled at her, and she took that as the cue to continue. "Sage of Fanfiction has asked, what do you think about Stoick's fathering skills?"
The smile slid off his face, and he paled (which seems kind of impossible, since he was in Jack's super pale body). Everyone actually looked curiously at Hiccup-Jack for this one, and he bit his lip nervously. Stoick-Rapunzel looked at him, and as he saw how nervous Hiccup-Jack was to answer this question, he felt ashamed of himself. He had been a horrible father to Hiccup, and they both knew it.
Phoenix clicked, and the whole group's second worst fear, the lie-detecting helmet, appeared on his head. Their worst fear was a sugar-high, caffeine-high Phoenix that was having really frequent mood swings. They shivered in terror at the very thought.
"W-Well, I-I… I, uh… do I really have to answer this?" He asked her timidly, and when she stiffly nodded he sighed in defeat. "Dad's fathering skills were the worst." Hiccup-Jack started, and Stoick-Rapunzel's head drooped in shame. "He always either ignored me, scolded me, scowled at me with his disappointed excuse-me-barmaid look, or just tried to lock me up in the house." Everyone looked at either Hiccup-Jack or Stoick-Rapunzel in shock. Sure they'd expected at least the second one, maybe even the third one, but they never thought either of the other things would've happened. Anna-Elsa and Elsa-Anna were especially affected, as they knew what it was like to be locked away from everyone.
Hiccup-Jack saw how he'd made everyone rather tense, and tried to lighten the tension in the room. "But it wasn't any use, I know at least twenty-seven different ways out of that house." His weak attempt at a joke actually did lighten the mood a bit, but it was nowhere near how much he'd wanted it to, so he decided to continue.
"But ever since I got to the Dragon's Nest with the rest of the teens he's admitted how proud he is of me, and how he thinks that I'll be a great chief. How he's proud to call me his son and how afraid he was that he'd lost me when Toothless and I defeated the Red Death (even though it was blue…). Even though it's been a month he still sometimes sends me worried looks when he thinks I'm not looking, and sometimes when my leg hurts during the night and he can hear me whimpering, he comes into my room and holds me close until I fall asleep. He doesn't think I can hear him when he says it, but I've heard him say how he thinks that it was his fault that I lost my leg." Everyone looked even more surprised at this, but then their expressions softened and they smiled.
"That was deep…" Phoenix started, but she was cut off when the green light flashed. That broke the rest of the tension in the room, and a few people laughed.
"Wow, really?!" Jack-Spitelout asked and exclaimed at the same time, facepalming at how unexpected and random that was, like seriously, why did it flash then of all times?
"Really." Phoenix answered his rhetorical question, and then continued, "Is everyone ready for the next truth?" Phoenix asked the group at large, and they all replied in various affirmative answers.
Phoenix smiled, their attitudes towards her and her game were improving. "Okay then, the next truth is for Astrid. Sage of Fanfiction has asked, what did you feel when Hiccup was spending time with Heather?" Astrid-Merida blushed, and looked like she was about to protest before the lie-detecting helmet (from now on, the LDH) appeared on her head. She just groaned in exasperation.
Hiccup-Jack was looking curiously at her. He knew that Astrid hadn't liked Heather and had been suspicious of her nearly the whole time, but he had no idea what emotions Astrid had been feeling when he'd been hanging out with her. Everyone who wasn't in the HTTYD group just looked confused, and a few of the HTTYD people tried to explain it to them. They weren't very successful, because it was a rather confusing matter, but when the others did understand what had happened they also looked at Astrid-Merida in curiosity. Her truthful answer was obviously going to be amusing.
Phoenix was tapping her foot on the ground in a rhythm too fast for most people to think it wasn't just random tapping. Phoenix had noticed Astrid-Merida playing with her new curly, red locks to try and stall. "I'm waiting!" She exclaimed in a sing-song voice, and Astrid-Merida winced.
"W-Well…" She started, and people were amazed to hear her stammering. The great Astrid Hofferson never stammered. "… I… I was… jealous." She admitted, and some of the HTTYD crew were looking at her faintly, pretty sure that this was an imposter. Astrid had never even needed to be jealous of anyone, let alone actually being jealous. "I was also feeling: angry, sad, a li'l betrayed, frustrated and annoyed." She continued to admit, and people's jaws finally started dropping. "Tha's it." She sniffed in an agitated sort of way, and the green light flashed.
"Since I value the use of my limbs I'm just going to go on to the next truth." Phoenix announced, and avoided all eye contact with Astrid. "The next truth is for everyone, and I'll join in!" Phoenix announced, and several people (like Jack-Spitelout) whooped or cheered.
"What is the truth?" Anna-Elsa asked, excitedly twirling a single snowflake around her hands. Elsa-Anna saw what she was doing and created an ember to play around with. Their powers were surprisingly similar, they both summoned their magic the same way.
"Sage of Fanfiction asks, what is everyone's greatest fear?" This didn't exactly get the reaction that Phoenix was expecting.
"WHAT?!" Jack-Spitelout shouted in disbelief, and he looked all around to see if there were any signs of Pitch Black in Phoenix's Fanfiction Lair. There weren't. He started pulling at his hair in frustration. Phoenix blinked in surprise, but it was more from the volume of his yell then by what he was doing. Everyone else blinked in surprise as well, but it was because of Jack's actions. Sure, they'd seen the RotG movie and knew about Jack's hatred of Pitch, but they didn't think that he would act like this just because of a simple question.
"What is everyone's greatest fear?" Phoenix repeated, even though it was unnecessary. A few people quietly groaned in annoyance that all of their secrets were being spilled (*cough*Hans*cough*), but most just looked slightly annoyed, ruffled or embarrassed. "How about Jack starts?" Phoenix asked the room at large, and everyone agreed.
Phoenix clicked, and a LDH (lie-detecting helmet, just to remind you) appeared on everyone's heads, including hers. "Okay Jack, shoot." Phoenix commanded, and Jack-Spitelout groaned.
"Fffiiiiiinnnnnneeeee." He dragged out the word. "My worst fear is to not be believed in anymore and be isolated again." Jack-Spitelout said (which didn't really surprise the smarter people in the group), and his LDH disappeared.
Phoenix turned to Merida-Gobber. "My worst fear is my family dyin'." She admitted. The light flashed green and the helmet disappeared.
Snotlout-Hiccup spoke up next, "My worst fear is to be stuck as a scrawny git like my cousin for the rest of my life and for me to have no one to flirt with." Phoenix looked at him kinda like how Sven looked at Kristoff when Kristoff said that Anna was with her true love, and the look turned more exasperated when the light flashed green… twice.
"My worst fear is that I won't be able to have any more dreams, or that my dreams will die." Rapunzel-Kristoff stated, and the helmet disappeared when the light flashed green.
"My worst fear is to go back to my own kingdom and face my brothers, as well as to go to jail again." Hans-Fishlegs sniffed, but everyone ignored him even when the light flashed green and the helmet disappeared.
"My worst fear is probably snakes… no spiders… or falling… or maybe drowning… no wait!" Fishlegs-Eugene exclaimed, and everyone rolled their eyes as he kept trying to decide. "My worst fear is Dagur coming back to Berk, sticking me in another tiny cage, not feeding me for another three days and then making me eat rotten fish-heads again!" A few people exchanged glances at this rather detailed fear, and most noticed how he said 'another', and 'again'. Green light flashed, LDH disappeared.
"Oooookay, moving on." Phoenix announced, and Tuffnut-Stoick raised his hand, jumping around excitedly. Normally that wouldn't do much, but in his current body Tuffnut was making the floor shake.
"Oh, oh, oh! Me, me, me! Pick me!" He exclaimed, and Phoenix gestured for him to continue. "My worst fear is for Belch to like Ruffnut better than me." He put his hands on his hips and looked smug, which made the corners of Phoenix's lips to rise and for her whole bottom lip to tremble. She tried hard not to, but she laughed at Tuffnut-Stoick and his pose. Normally it wouldn't be very funny, but right now they were all watching Stoick's bod acting like an idiotic and crazy teenager.
The red flashing light of Tuffnut-Stoick's LDH went off, and everyone (Tuffnut included) stared at it in confusion. "That's not my worst fear?" Tuffnut asked to nobody in particular, but nobody had an answer anyway. "Is it me dying?" Red flash. "Is it my dragon dying?" Red flash. "Is it my parents dying?" Red flash. "What is it, then? Is it Ruffnut dying or something else happening to her?!" Green flash, and the LDH disappeared.
"Tuffnut dying or something happening to him is my worst fear as well." Ruffnut-Astrid admitted quietly, and the LDH flashed green and disappeared.
"Aaaawwwww! You do care about each other!" Phoenix cooed, and the twins (in Stoick's and Astrid's bodies) hugged each other. (Hope you like the little twin bonding moment. Well… not exactly bonding, but yeah.)
"Eugene? How 'bout you go next?" Phoenix asked, turning to look at Eugene-Tuffnut.
He looked surprised for a moment and cleared his throat, "Uh… my worst fear is watching my dream die." He said, glancing over at Rapunzel-Kristoff, and his helmet disappeared.
Kristoff-Hans spoke up next, "My worst fear would probably be Hans actually being Anna's true love or Anna getting hurt." the LDH disappeared after it flashed green, and Anna-Elsa looked touched.
"My worst fear is hurting the people I care about, like my sister." Elsa-Anna stated, and Anna-Elsa blushed at how much both Elsa and Kristoff cared about her.
"My worst fear is losing both Elsa and Kristoff, and being alone." Anna-Elsa announced, and Anna-Elsa, Elsa-Anna and Kristoff-Hans had a group hug as their LDHs disappeared.
Phoenix turned to Spitelout-Snotlout, "My worst fear is my son being a failure and the family name being shamed." he announced, and Snotlout-Hiccup looked a little hurt, but no one was paying him any attention as Spitelout-Snotlout's helmet flashed green and disappeared.
"Wow." Phoenix stated dryly, and Gobber-Ruffnut cleared his throat.
"My worst fear would probably be losing another of my limbs and becomin' useless." He said.
Stoick-Rapunzel walked over to him and gave him a noogie, "You'll never be useless, Gobber." he smiled at his long-time friend.
"Hey!" He cried, and a few looked at him quizzically, but then either facepalmed or grinned. "You're messing up my hair."
Stoick-Rapunzel (who was trying to stop grinning) spoke next, "My worst fear is losing Hiccup like how I lost Valka and how I almost lost him already. Then I would be all alone. …Not counting Gobber of course." Stoick-Rapunzel (who had stopped grinning) added the last part, and everyone smiled warmly/sympathetically/sadly at him. Anyone who was still angry about how he used to treat Hiccup instantly forgave him when he said that and the LDH flashed green and disappeared, and Hiccup-Jack looked touched.
"Aaaawwwwww. Your relationship is so adorable sometimes! Just like Sheldon and Penny's relationship in The Big Bang Theory!" Phoenix cut into the pleasant silence.
Everyone (excluding Jack) looked at her in confusion. "Who say what now?" Tuffnut-Stoick asked, and Phoenix groaned.
"It's a TV show, and a TV is an invention from the future for most of you that has moving pictures and stories that you can view, just like those movies I showed you earlier." Everyone besides Jack-Spitelout and the twins nodded in understanding (even though most were still at least slightly confused): Jack because he already knew what a TV and The Big Bang Theory was; and the twins because they almost had no idea what Phoenix had just said.
"Anyway, moving on." Phoenix announced, and she turned to Astrid-Merida, "Your turn Astrid."
"Fine. My worst fear is not being good enough." The dangerous glint in Astrid-Merida's eyes seemed to challenge anyone to ask her to elaborate her fear, but no one did and the LDH disappeared after it flashed green so she stopped glaring at them. "Your turn, Hiccup." She muttered, realising that he was the only person besides Phoenix to have not said their fear yet.
"Uh, alright. My worst fear is Toothless leaving me because I was the one who took away his ability to fly freely. I mean, he was my first ever friend, but if he did leave I wouldn't blame him." Toothless came running over and wrapped his wings around Hiccup-Jack in an adorable dragon hug.
"What about you?" Eugene-Tuffnut asked Phoenix.
Phoenix looked slightly confused at him, "Excuse me?" Phoenix asked.
"What's your fear?" Spitelout-Snotlout asked.
(Kudos to anyone who knows where that's from… even if it isn't the exact same. Maybe you can tell me in a review.)
"Well… my fear isn't deep or anything like most of your fears were…" Phoenix trailed off looking slightly sheepish.
"Don't worry about it, just tell us." Kristoff-Hans pleaded, and Phoenix quickly caved to the peer pressure (No Phoenix! Don't go to the dark side! Wait… I am Phoenix…).
Phoenix sighed, "Alright. I'm scared of zombies. When I was really little there was this zombie movie on TV one night and I had to watch it because it was raining, so I couldn't go outside, and there was absolutely nothing else to do. Everyone else wanted to watch the movie, so I just sat there and watched it with them. It traumatised me, and I've been scared of zombies ever since, even though they aren't real and my fear has finally started dying down." (True story.) Her LDH flashed green and disappeared.
Everyone blinked at her speech. No matter what the fear was, her explanation for it was full of emotions and feeling.
"Okay then… that was a, ah… interesting fear." Fishlegs-Eugene said slowly, acting as if his own fear wasn't uncommon, even though everyone knew it was stranger than hers.
Phoenix snorted, "Really?! You're calling my fear weird?"
"I didn't say that…"
Phoenix just looked at him, and he shuffled his feet in embarrassment. Phoenix turned to the group as a whole.
"I'm just gonna be in my private study for a little while, so you guys can relax and I'll send out my robot butlers with lunch for you."
"Your what?" Tuffnut-Stoick asked bewilderedly.
"My robot butlers. They're robots, and they're also butlers." Phoenix said slowly, hoping that he would get it. He just kept looking confused, so Phoenix decided to ignore him.
"Last thing," Phoenix started, calling over her shoulder as she went, "no flying! Just talk and learn more about each other." The dragon riders and Jack groaned in annoyance, but didn't say anything. They all just decided to do what Phoenix told them to do, and started to talk to mingle.
Phoenix: who was secretly spying on them before she actually did go to her private study, smiled at this. "We're gonna have some more fun soon." She promised to no one in particular.
That's it for this chapter folks. Again, so sorry for not updating in forever. You can only send me requests via PM (although I may just kind of change the ones from guests if I like them enough ;)), and maybe send some stuff in for Phoenix.
Btw, I just watched Big Hero 6 today! It was awesome! XD
Phoenix: Thank you for reading and sticking with me my lovely reviewers! Your feedback is awesome!
