Trouble (Hijack)

Part 6

Hiccup and Jack ran downstairs to go tell their mom's where they were going.

"Hey Mom," Hiccup started, "Jack and I are going to meet some friends at that diner down the road, you know, Gobber's?" he said.

"That okay Mom?" Jack asked.

Gwen nodded, "Be back home no later than midnight."

"Same goes for you Hiccup," Elinor said.

They nodded and Hiccup quickly patted Toothless before he left, "Don't get into trouble, Bud." Hiccup said, smiling, "No chewing on rocks or Dad's work."

The dog merely smiled and licked his hand. Hiccup grabbed his keys and led Jack to his car.

Jack climbed in and immediately found Hiccup's CD collection, "I don't recognize half this stuff." He admitted, "Is this Flogging Molly? You were telling me about them on Thursday."

Hiccup looked over and nodded, picking it up, "Yeah, you gotta hear them."

"Nice collection, only your missing some quality stuff, man." Jack laughed.

Hiccup rolled his eyes, "Classic rock is good, but it doesn't have the Celtic feel I like."

Flogging Molly came on and Jack smiled as his head moved with the music, "This is pretty good, but man, you could use some ACDC in your collection. To be honest I never expected you to like this kind of music."

Hiccup laughed as he started the car, "Oh really, what kind of music did you think I'd like?"

Jack shrugged and scratched his nose, "Well..." he laughed, "Honestly I had you pegged as a Beethoven, Mozart kind of guy with some Josh Groban or something."

Hiccup laughed, "I play the violin, that's enough for me." He admitted, "But a classic now and then is a good thing."

Jack nodded, "I'm more into the guitar solo stuff. And if the lyrics are awesome, I'm hooked."

"Yeah, I love the Celtic punk rock stuff for some odd reason, maybe for me, it's the bagpipes." Hiccup shrugged.

They continued talking about music when they finally got to the diner.

"I'll make you a mix CD, you'll never go back." Hiccup laughed as he parked the car.

Jack chuckled as he got out, "Oh yeah? I outta make you one with quality music, then we'll see who's not turning back."

"You're on." Hiccup joked.

"HICCUP!"

They turned and Jack could see a blonde girl get out with a blonde guy following her. The girl looked very confident and sassy where the guy looked like a hopeless romantic who followed her like a little lost puppy. Once he saw Hiccup though, he seemed to relax.

"Hey Astrid, Clyde. This is Jack." Hiccup introduced. Jack stepped forward and waved.

"Hi, Jack!" Astrid said, "You don't play lacrosse do you?"

Jack shook his head, "Nah, I'm on the swim team at Burgess."

"Bummer." She said, "But none-the-less, you should come see a lacrosse game sometime."

Jack smiled, "Only if you go to a swim meet. Nothing like the smell of sweat and chlorine to make you feel like a fish."

She laughed and Clyde seemed to relax a little more.

Jack suddenly turned and waved, "Over here Sandy!"

Hiccup watched as a blonde girl with the sweetest hazel eyes walked over holding hands with a brunette boy. He looked excited, yet nervous.
