Oki, so before we continue here are some more tags and relationship warnings! :))))

Oki , so:

Tags: implied/referenced rape, drunkness, major character deaths, Stockholm syndrome? (Idk if what happens actually classifies as that…)

Relationships (side): Eret/Hiccup

"So, what else happened on your trip?" Astrid asked, walking around a huge lake with Hiccup.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, you and Thuggory were all alone, and given your past…"

Hiccup laughed. "Astrid, nothing went on between me and Thuggory, will you relax."

Astrid smirked, "Thuggory and me," she corrected.

Hiccup rolled his eyes. "I mean, sure, there was that one time he walked in on me naked…"

"Go on…"

"But all the trip really helped me realize was that things between me an- er, him and me, are over, Astrid, and- I think the trip helped me realize that I actually want to start dating again…"

"Perfect! I know just how we can get you out there! We-"

"Anything involving a strip club and heels is completely out of the question, Astrid," Hiccup snorted, remembering what was easily one of Astrid's biggest fantasies for him.

"OK, OK, but what I was trying to say was that we can go to the local pub, that's where everyone goes, and we could take the others so that we blend in and it's pretty obvious that we're friends, and basically you can let someone cute ask you out with all of us secretly judging him. You know, like we did that one time with Tuffnut."

Hiccup smiled fondly in remembrance as he recalled the one time they'd taken out Tuffnut, who was bi, to a pub (during daytime as they were underage) and had made it look as though he were slightly excluded as an attempt to draw more people to him.

There'd been the cute blonde with the nice chest, the brunette with the pretty green eyes and that heart-warming smile, and, finally, the reason they knew Tuffnut was bi, the toned tan guy with the dark hair that had Tuffnut blushing like crazy.

He'd ended up calling the brunette because she had the least complaints from their table. Shuddering, Hiccup wondered if people ever judged those from their group like that, like when Snotlout had asked out Rebecca in fifth grade… while she was sitting with all of her friends…

"Yeah," Hiccup smiled, "I think I might like that."

"Of course," Astrid smirked, "That is assuming you don't end up smitten with Eret."

Hiccup blushed. "Er- ah, w-what are you talking about?"

Astrid smiled, "Oh, like we don't all know…"

Hiccup groaned, "Astrid!"

Astrid laughed, "Hiccup and Eret, sitting in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-"

"Oh for the love of- real mature, Astrid."

"What, I think it's cute… Hmm… Eretcup, has a nice ring to it."

"Urgh!"

Astrid perked up, "Oh, hey! Did you hear about the university letting us stay up late tomorrow?"

"…No…?"

"Well, basically there's going to be a party here with a ton of food."

"Oh, well that's… awesome, really."

"Yeah, I know… we should get back," Astrid hummed, checking her watch, "There's only twenty minutes left before we all have to leave to go fishing."

.

"So," Stormfly hummed, "What's your big plan for tomorrow?"

"Oh, we're going to spike all the drinks."

"We?"

"Yeah, Dogsbreath, me, and surprisingly Hiccup's cousin, who's probably the only cool one in their family."

"Ahh…"

"How's Barf and Belch?"

"Oh, we all had so much fun dressing them up yesterday!"

"I feel sorry for them."

"But they loved it!"

"Suuuurrrreeee…"

"How's Toothless holding up?"

"Oh, pretty good actually. Told you he just needed some bro time."

"Alright, if you say so. Now come on, we're going to be late for fishing."

"Honey, we're evil, we're always late."

.

Hiccup cast his rod into the cold water. Why were they here, even? Where was the coordinator?

Oh, there he was, flirting with the other coordinator. Great.

Oh, yes, something was pulling! He heaved with all his strength and… were creatures that small even considered fish?

Next to him Astrid also got a tug and brought out a nicely sized fish that was about as long as her forearm and as thick as Er- haha, JK, it was as thick as Astrid :)

Meanwhile, just four metres away from them, Toothless and Hookfang were joking about something while reeling in their fourth and seventh fish respectively.

Everything was so nice and relaxing and peaceful that-

Thuck. Thuck. Thuck.

Red, red, red, blood, food, hungry, fish.

A bear (Hiccup didn't even know there were bears in Berk, he'd never seen one in his life!) leaped out of the bushes and let out a call. The coordinators, who were unarmed, also seemed to be taken aback by this.

The Bear rushed for a girl two feet away from Hiccup and pounced on her, she was screaming and how on earth she was still alive to do so was a mystery to all.

Hiccup ran and shoved the bear in a desperate attempt to get it off, but this only angered the bear and it decided that Hiccup was its new meal.

It (He, Hiccup would later piece together) jumped on him and began to claw at him. All he had was his fishing rod. He couldn't use his powers, not here, but maybe…

He struck the bear in the nose with a fishing rod and it howled in pain, blood beginning to squirt from the crevice. He then felt strength vibrating in his legs and he kicked the bear off of him and, surprisingly enough, into the river, though he was pretty sure it was supposed to land on the ground given the direction he was facing.

Breathing heavily and bleeding a lot he tried to stand up but fell- well, almost fell, seeing as how Astrid was there holding him in her arms. The staggering boy struggled to stay upright, but it didn't matter because soon he was surrounded by a crowd consisting of his friends and a lot of unfamiliar faces.

The cuts were deep, he knew that, so he got to work healing them, but left the barest of the surface of them open, so he had an excuse for the blood.

Once it was determined that he was alright he was met by volley of questions and comments. Most were positive, of course the environmental freaks decided that this was all Hiccup's fault, and that he shouldn't have harmed the bear.

If some all of those people ended up with poison ivy rashes the next day it was not the Thorston twins' fault.

The coordinators weren't faulted as, was proved by the department of wildlife, bears did not reside in Berk, or within a nine mile radius of the town.

Hiccup wasn't sent home, though some paramedics came over to check that everything was alright with him and they deduced that the wounds were all incredibly shallow and that everything was alright, though Hiccup would have some light scarring. The girl, however, was taken to hospital as her wounds were significantly deeper.

Dogsbreath and Snotlout clapped him on the shoulder to which he winced because his shoulder had been one of the first of his body parts to make contact with the ground.

Hookfang gave him a thumbs up. Eret congratulated him. Toothless- Toothless might actually have smiled at him!

.

It was dark and everyone was retiring to sleep. Hiccup was out cold, since recovering the blood he lost proved to be tiring. Snotlout and Dogsbreath were asleep too. Eret was also asleep and almost kind of looked as though he were protecting Hiccup in his sleep (Which was sickeningly cute!)

Toothless and Hookfang were sitting on a tree right outside their tent.

"Hookfang, I think I may have ruled Hiccup out too soon."
