How You Doing Insane Gang!
I can not tell you how long its been since doing a one-shot but here is a 4th of July type one-shot to celebrate American Independence. I also like to thank you guys for letting this story reach 100 Followers! Give me some ideas for new one-shots too possibly dealing with Race to the Edge.
The gang is 18. They look like they do in Race to the Edge.
Disclaimer: I don't own How to Train Your Dragon.
Most people don't know this but today is the that Berk was founded hundreds of years ago by a explorer turned Chief, Gaunt the II. Usually its an all day feast outside in the middle of the village.
The gang under Stoick was to help set up the huge all day long feast and dance. Stoick wanted the gang or Hiccup to be exact to think of something entertaining to be held at night. Much to Hiccup's chagrin he still as yet to come up with an idea.
"Seriously Astrid I have nothing!" "Dad expects something for tonight." Hiccup sighs.
"Why don't we just do a fly routine?"
Hiccup shook his head.
"We do that every holiday, I want something new."
"I don't know, why don't you take a flight to get some inspiration." Astrid suggested.
Hiccup cracked a smile. "Yeah fly around the village, care to join me then?"
Astrid took Hiccup's offered hand and headed out of the academy.
Stormfly and Toothless were wrestling just outside.
"Hey bud, why don't we go for a flight?" Hiccup asked.
Toothless's ears perked up and the two dragons instantly stop playing.
Toothless expectantly looked at Stormfly then back at Hiccup.
He laughed. "Yes they are coming too."
Toothless did his grin and bounced up next to Hiccup."
Astrid shook her head while smiling.
She also mounted Stormfly while Hiccup mounted Toothless.
They both took off into the skies.
"So where are we headed?" Astrid asked.
Hiccup looked at her and shrugged.
"I don't know I figured we just take a couple of spins around the island."
"Is this your way of checking to make sure your dad is busy so he doesn't ask you if you came up with anything?"
Hiccup snorted and rubbed the back of his neck. "What?" "No...why would I do that?"
Astrid rolled her eyes.
"Come on lets go to the cove, you are bound to get something."
"Alright." Hiccup's eyes twinkled.
"I will race you there."
Before Astrid realized what was going on Hiccup was a mere dot.
"Oh no you don't." She said under her breath before urging Stormfly to go faster.
Of course Hiccup won, no surprise there.
He already dismounted and was laying on a large boulder.
Astrid slide down Stormfly's wing.
Hiccup stretched his arms and rubbed his eyes.
"Finally decided to show up I see." He teased.
Astrid smacked him in the stomach.
"Okay I deserved that one." He wheezed out.
"If you had so much time then you thought of something then?" Astrid smirked.
Hiccup opened his mouth and raised his finger. "Uhh...no."
"Exactly."
Hiccup and Astrid didn't know how long they sat in the cove and talked but it was drawing near for the all night festival.
Astrid kissed the corner of his mouth.
"We need to get going, its almost time for the festival."
Hiccup ran a hand through his hair.
"Aw man I still don't have an idea for tonight." He whined.
"I guess I just detracted you huh." Astrid said.
"It doesn't matter, I rather be back at Dragon's Edge with you by ourselves." Hiccup groaned.
Astrid pulled Hiccup up from the large boulder.
They both mounted their respective dragons. Once they got close they heard multiple explosions.
"What in Thor's name is that?" Astrid wondered out loud.
"I don't know but I have a bad feeling that the twins were involved."
They raced to where they thought they heard the explosion.
At the center of it all was the twins and Snotlout.
Hiccup and Astrid landed in front of them.
"What are you three muttonheads doing?" Astrid asked getting mad.
Snotlout answered. "We were experimenting with Barf's gas."
Hiccup quirked an eyebrow. "What do you mean experimenting with Barf's gas?"
"We made different colored Nightmares fire at it and it made pretty colors." Tuffnut explained.
"Yeah watch this!" Ruffnut added.
"Barf spew." Ruff commanded.
"Hookfang fire!"
Hookfang did what he was told for once and light the gas on fire.
The gas exploded changing the once green gas into a red explosion.
"Wow." Hiccup replied mystified.
"What other colors are there?" Astrid asked.
"So far red, purple and green."
"Snotlout why don't you get Fishlegs, he might want to see this."
Snotlout rolled his eyes but obliged anyways.
"How did you guys figure this out?" Astrid asked.
Tuffnut shrugged.
"I don't know we wanted to blow things up but Snotface got in the way."
"So that's how we got red." Ruffnut finished for her brother.
Fishlegs and Snotlout arrived shortly.
Fishlegs seemed intrigued.
"Okay Snotlout explained to me what happened but I want to see it for myself."
They repeated the process one more time leaving Fishlegs in a stat of shock.
"I have never seen anything like this before, I don't think its in the book of dragons!"
Fishlegs thought it over a bit.
"I think I have a theory."
"When Hookfang set the gas on fire its red right?"
"Yeah." Snotlout answered.
"Then we tried on a green Nightmare and a purple one to get green and purple."
"Did you try it on a different type of dragon?" Fishlegs asked.
The three shook their heads no.
"Lets see what happens, Astrid if you and Stormfly would try."
"Okay."
They repeated it but with Stormfly firing into the gas.
The explosion sizzled loudly before fading.
"I think we just invented something." Astrid declared.
"Wait, that's it!" Hiccup exclaimed.
"We can put on a display for the festival." Hiccup said excitedly.
"What are we calling it?" Fishlegs asked.
Hiccup looked to the twins and Snotlout.
"You guys invented it, what are you going to call it?"
The three looked bewildered that they actually invented something.
Tuffnut thought for a second.
"Well its fire..."
"and it works." Snotlout thought.
"Fireworks." Ruffnut put two and two together.
The other two boys nodded.
"Okay fireworks it is." Hiccup declared.
"I can't believe those muttonheads actually invented something." Astrid commented.
Fishlegs and Hiccup shrugged and then nodded.
"Lets go to the festival and set up." Hiccup stated.
The others agreed and flew from the academy to the village square.
Seeing Hiccup arrived Stoick went up to greet him.
"Hiccup, I hope you found a way to entertain everyone tonight."
"It was actually the twins and Snotlout who gave me the idea."
Stoick gave him a puzzled look.
"Don't worry its safe."
Stoick seemed to relax.
"Okay, I trust you."
The gang set up there dragons and figured out a quick display.
They decided instead of being up there flying them they will use hand signals.
The 6 friends enjoyed the festivities until it was time for the display.
The villagers gathered around.
"Okay everyone named by the twins and Snotlout we give you fireworks."
The twins began by giving the signal to Barf.
The gang was perched on a roof to easily direct the dragons and to see the firework display.
The village oohed and awed at the sight of the colorful explosions.
Hiccup and Astrid laced their hands together.
"You know this turned out better than expected." Hiccup admitted.
"Yeah those muttonheads did a good job." Astrid commented.
Hiccup laughed.
Astrid gave Hiccup a peck on the lips before resting her head on his shoulder.
