Chapter Three
"ᏔᎻᎾ ᏞᎬᎢ ᎢᎻᎬ ᎠᎾᏩᏚ ᎾᏌᎢ?"

"Hi, welcome to Caesar's." The lady behind the guest greeted the four men. They immediately greeted her back, smiles on their faces. "Checking in?" She asked.

"Yeah, we have a reservation under Dr. Haddock." Hiccup said as the group leaned against the counter.

"Okay, let me look that up for you." She nodded, quickly typing on the computer to find him in the system.

"'Dr. Haddock?'" Eugene questioned, a smirk on his face as he looked at Hiccup. "Hiccup, you're a dentist, okay? Don't try and get fancy."

"It's not fancy if it's true." Hiccup said, shrugging his shoulder. He didn't care what Eugene thought. Hiccup knew he was just saying because he was jealous. After all, which sounded cooler? Being a teacher or a doctor?

The lady behind the desk softly smiled, glancing up at them.

"He's a dentist. Don't get to excited." Eugene warned her, gently smiling. "And if, uh, someone has a heart attack, you should still call 911." He added, standing up and adjusting his backpack.

"We'll be sure to do that." She smiled, amused by his humor.

"Can I ask you a question?" Kristoff said, getting everyone's attention. "Do you know if the hotel's pager-friendly?"

"What do you mean?" She asked, tilting her head.

"I'm not getting a sig on my beeper." Kristoff said, twirling his pager between his fingers.

"I'm not sure." She answered. That was a interesting question.

"Is there a payphone bank?" Kristoff pressed on. Everyone paused, watching him. "Bunch of payphones? Business." He explained, glancing around at the group.

"Um, there's a phone in your room." She answered.

Kristoff nodded his head. "That'll work."

"So, I have you in a two-bedroom suite on the 12th floor." She declared, reading off the screen. "Is that okay?"

"It sounds perfect." Jack said.

"Actually, I was wondering if you had any villas available." Eugene said. A suite wasn't good enough. He wanted to have a bachelor party that they would remember for years to come. One night in a suite wasn't gonna do it.

"Eugene, we're not even gonna be in the room." Hiccup argued. Why was he making such a big deal about this? A suite would be perfectly fine.

"It's unnecessary." Jack agreed.

"It's no big deal. We can share beds. It's one night." Hiccup said, clearly getting annoyed. Nothing was ever good enough for him.

"Um, if we're sharing beds, I'm bunking with Eugene." Kristoff cut in. He didn't really like Hiccup and he didn't want to sleep in the same bed as his sister's husband. Plus, he thought Eugene was a really cool guy.

Eugene turned and looked at him, scoffing. "You good with that?" Kristoff asked.

"No, I'm not good with that." Eugene argued, making Jack chuckle. "Guys, we are not sharing beds. What are we, 12 years old?" He nearly shouted.
