"Turn left!"

"No! We turn right!"

"Guys!" Hiccup yells at the twins. "Stop. Do you want to get in a car accident?" The twins stop fighting but mutter curses at each other. Hiccup grips the steering wheel in irritation. Hiccup is driving the car. Astrid was hesitant because of what happened last time. But Hiccup ushered her that everything would be fine. Astrid sits in the set next to the drivers, every-so-often, looking over at Hiccup, making sure that he is still okay. She will never feel comfortable with Hiccup driving in the same car as her. She trusts him, it's just that Hiccup only has one foot. She where she is going?

"Are we almost there?" Snotlout whines.

"Be quiet Snotlout." Astrid snaps.

They pull up in a parking lot. It says:              Sky Zone.

                                                                 Indoor Trampoline Park.

They park and they get out. They walk to the doors and go inside. (A/N: I am not explaining what it looks like. 1. I have never been there. and 2. I suck at explaining what something/someone looks like.) They walk up to the front desk. The lady smiles when she sees them.

"Hello. How many?" She asks.

"Six." Says Hiccup.

"Okay." She types on her computer. "How long would you like to go: 60 minutes, 90 minutes, or 120 minutes?"

"90 minutes."

"Okay. That will be $70." Hiccup pays her.

"Okay. You guys will be going in at 10. And here are your wristbands and you can get Sky Socks over there." She says pointing to a stand with orange socks. She hands Hiccup the wristbands and they put them on. They get the socks and put them on. But Hiccup doesn't know what would happen if he wears his metal prosthetic out on the trampoline. And he knows it will hurt but he has felt pain before.

He looks at the watch on his wrist and it says its 9:45. He sighs.

They walk to the small lockers and put their phones and shoes in them. They go back to the seats and wait.

The last few minutes go by. They play dodge ball, flip in the ball pit, and jump on the many trampolines. 

Hiccup and Astrid end up sitting on a bench, watching the twins jumping up really high, trying to land on their feet, but land on their faces. They would get up and laugh it off, argue about whose fail was better, and challenge to try and fail better than the other. It was a good time.

When their time is up, they get there stuff, and leave. Hiccup drops off Tuffnut, Fishlegs, and Snotlout. Ruffnut said that she had to get her stuff, same with Astrid. 

They talk about nothing important. When they get to Hiccup's house, they get out and head inside. They get their things. They were just about to go back to the car, when another car pulls up into the driveway. Hiccup freezes in his spot. Astrid and Ruffnut look at him with concern. 

"Hiccup?" Astrid says, putting a hand on his shoulder. She tries to ignore his flinch when she touched him. "Are y-"

"Get upstairs and go in my room. Don't come down til I say." His voice is strained.

"What are y-" Ruffnut says but Hiccup interrupts.

"Go upstairs." He snaps. He turns to face them and ushers them upstairs to his room. He runs back downstairs after slamming his door shut. Well, running isn't exactly the word to use when you run down the stairs, trying not to trip over your own feet.

Ruffnut looks at Astrid with worry and confusion. Then, it all clicks into place.

Hiccup's Uncle is home. He can't know they are there, or Hiccup could be very hurt, or worse, killed.

She can hear the front door open and slam shut. Astrid grows worried. Hiccup told her what he could do after she asked him. She could tell he didn't want to talk about it, she said he didn't but he ignored her.

She can hear voices and she listens.

"I heard you had friends sleep over last night." She hears a bitter voice then silence. "And that you spent my money." Says the same voice and more silence.

"Answer me!" Bellows the voice. Astrid can already tell it is this so called, Uncle Tom. She looks over to Ruffnut. She doesn't look confused any more, just worried and scared.

Funny isn't it? How a girl could love getting hurt, but when it comes to a friend getting hurt and knowing it isn't something he can walk off, it can scare you, especially if it is a person who deserves so much more then being afraid of their home.

She hears a thud and a whimper. She winces, knowing Hiccup is going to get abused, because Astrid made him have them sleep over.

All her fault.
