Deserted ~ A Modern Hiccstrid ~

Day Off Decisions (9)

Today I was super disappointed because I had a much better idea for this story and it's plot.

I should have made Toothless in Tuffnut's position, then made Stormfly in Paradox's position. It could have gone either way, though, and I prefer Tuffnut.

Sorry to all you real-life Toothless lovers.

Go Team Tuffnut! Tuffnut forever! ^.^

"Seriously, Tuff?" Hiccup asked.

Tufnut had driven up to a trampoline house.

"What? I know they seem like they're for babies but they're actually a lot of fun! Trust me."

Hiccup rolled his eyes and climbed out of the car.

"How did you even find this place?" Hiccup asked curiously. After all, Tuff was new to the school.

"Ruff and I 

As they walked into the building, Hiccup looked around for anyone that might know who he is.

Tuffnut grinned. "Relax, man. All the people from school are too embarrassed to come here!" He exclaimed, clapping Hiccup on the back before bounding up to the admission counter.

Hiccup followed after him.

"Uhm, Tuff?" Hiccup asked when he saw all the little kids bouncing around on some tiny trampolines.

"The more adult-like stuff is in the back." He explained before handing Hiccup a wristband and running off toward a set of double doors.

Hiccup snapped on the band before following Tuff.

Hiccup entered a giant room he saw a full out game of dodgeball - but it was being played on trampolines.

He gaped at the scene until Tuff jumped over to where he was standing on a trampoline.

"Come on, dude! It'll be fun! Plus, no one here has anything against you!" He shouted, narrowly missing a dodgeball as it was hurled towards him.

"Alright, alright." Hiccup grumbled bouncing into the middle of the room.

As he turned to Tuffnut to say something to him, he was nailed in the face by Tuff.

Tuff burst out laughing and Hiccup's expression turned mischevious.

He picked up a dodgeball while Tuff was still doubled over.

"I'll get you for that, Tuff!" He said, faking anger.

"You can tr--" Tuff's retort was cut off when he was nailed in the face by a dodgeball.

It was Hiccup's turn to double over in laughter.

"You're going down, Haddock!" Tuff did a battle cry before leaping for a dodgeball.

"I'd like to see you try!"

The sound of waves crashing onto the beach was majestic. 

It was also entrancing.

It was also completely drowned out by the sound of a group of girls squealing.

"I'm soo happy we don't have school today!" Paradox shrieked, pulling out snacks from the back of Heather's car.

"Me too! I mean, can you imagine having to sit in school on a day like this?" Ruff said, happy to be enjoying the company of her new friends

"No way! Huge storms are when we go out and party!" Heather squealed as she pulled out the beach tent.

Astrid smiled at her friends and looked out towards the beach. After her friends had quieted down some, they realized something was wrong.

"Astrid? Are you okay?" Ruff said, approaching cautiously.

"Paradox filled us in on the way over. She said you fainted, and with Hiccup coming to help you on top of it." Heather said, sitting on the sand next to me.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"I know you miss Jack, Astrid. It must be really sad for you. Just remember we're here for you."

Ruff looked at them with a blank look.

"Who's Jack?"

"Jack was her brother. He died at the beginning of last year."

"Oh." Ruff looked like she wanted to say more, but kept her mouth shut.

"I don't really feel like talking about it. Let's just have a good time and forget about it, yeah?"

They all nodded in agreement and sat there for a few minutes, not knowing what to say.

Ruff got an idea and brightened.

"Oh! I know! Let's play freeze tag!" She grinned.

"Tag?"Astrid asked.

"Freeze tag! It's so much fun!" She jumped up as the others slowly stood up.

"Alright, we'll decide who's it by saying 'not it' and then you have to get away from that person. If they touch you, you're frozen. Then, there's one person who's the un-freezer. It's so much fun!" She gushed.

"Do we have enough players?" Heather asked.

"Hmmm. Oh! Invite the boys! I'll invite my brother."

"But what if you're brother is hanging out with Fishbone?" Paradox asked, scrunching her nose like she just drank sour lemonade.

"It'll make the boys target him more than us, right?" Ruff said slyly.

"I guess that makes sense." Heather cocked her head.

"This is gonna be so much fun!" Ruff squealed, and they all pulled out their phones and got to work.

Hi! Sorry for the short chapter.

Ironically, I think I'm going to have more once school gets back. XD

Definitely expect another update on one of my books tommorrow though.

If I can finish my update on my other one today, it'll definitely be this one.

Please vote and comment if you liked it!

Thanks!
