Chapter 15: Aerobatics

Hi! How are you? Happy Holidays! I haven't updated for a month and I'm sorry. December was hectic with all the finals, then came holidays and I was having a writer's block. But I have good news for you! In the next chapter Night Fury appears! Finally! I was waiting for this as much as you did.

Chapter 15: Aerobatics

"Where are we going?"

When Hiccup went to Gobber's after the work-as he was doing already two weeks, the old pilot got into the car and declared that today they will be going somewhere else. He was giving the directions already 10 minutes.

"Turn right."

"Gobber, can you at least tell me where are we going?" Hiccup asked. He was getting frustrated.

"We're gonna be there soon," he said continuing to watch the road. "And now turn to the left."

"The amusement park?" Okay, now he was completely confused. In front of him was the Berk's amusement park. What were they doing here? Hiccup parked the car and before he could ask, Gobber got out.

"Okay, laddie. I'll go buy tae tickets," said the mechanic and hobbled to the ticket booth, still not explaining anything.

Hiccup looked around. He had been here just a few times when he was a kid. Everything was shining with colorful lights. There were booths with cotton candy, soda, and toys. The kids' happy laugh was heard everywhere. Maybe it wouldn't be bad to have some fun.

The auburn-haired man heard footsteps and turned seeing Gobber approaching him, with a hand full of tickets.

"Okay, I got 'em. Let's go."

"Can you tell me what we are doing here?" he asked walking after Gobber, who had already begun heading towards the attractions.

"Before learning ta da aerobatics, we need tae train yer stomach," he answered continuing to walk.

"My stomach?" Hiccup asked raising his brow. How was he going to train his stomach?

"Ya'll see." Was only thing Gobber said before he stopped in front of a big round attraction. It was light brown and had dark colored bumps on it. It was a gravity ride.

"Okay, tae first attraction- 'Gronckle'," Gobber said handing the ticket to the ticketman and pushing Hiccup inside.

The auburn-haired man went to one of the padded panels and stood there, tightly gripping the bars. The ride started. It was spinning so fast, that Hiccup felt pinned on the wall. It continued to spin and began raising. It span a little more and began slowing down. The ride was over and Hiccup got out. His head was spinning but otherwise, he was okay.

Gobber began pushing him to the next attraction- 'Nadder'. Hiccup saw a gondola carrying riders raising to the top of a tower and then free falling. The people were screaming-some in joy and some in terror.

Well, at least this one wasn't spinning. He gave the ticket to ticketman and went to the attraction. He sat on one of the seats and fastened his seatbelt. When more people came, the attraction started. The gondola began raising. The sight from there was beautiful. Not as beautiful as the one from the plane, but still beautiful.

The gondola was on the top of the tower. It stayed there for a few seconds, allowing the riders to enjoy the view and then it began falling. Hiccup felt his stomach drop. But after a second the feeling was replaced by adrenalin rushing through his veins. Hiccup wanted to yell, and he did.

The gondola raised and fell a few more times, before stopping. Hiccup got out of his seat feeling joyful. It was great!

"So how was it, lad?" Gobber asked seeing his happy face.
