"By the way, we're all gonna die." Hiccup said as they started wheeling the tiger out of the room. They had the tiger's unconscious body covered in towels on a suitcase cart. They hoped it wouldn't be too suspicious. Or that the tiger would wake up.

"Wait. Shh, shh." Kristoff said, pulling a towel over the sharp teeth as they steered the cart.

Badly.

The cart rammed into the wall, making the tiger let out a low growl.

"Oh, God." Hiccup said.

"Watch it." Eugene said to Kristoff.

"His nose." Hiccup sighed, stopping the cart. "That's his nose."

Somehow, the three of them were able to get the tiger into the backseat of the car without anyone giving them suspicious looks, considering it looked like they were carrying a body. It was also a surprise that the tiger didn't wake up.

The three looked worse than ever before. Kristoff's left eye was swollen and a deep purple while his forehead still had a red line from the crowbar. Hiccup's missing tooth and torn and dirty shirt made him look like he just came off the streets. Eugene's lip was swollen, dried blood was on his shirt, and his ribs were starting to kill him. The worst part though was that they were still missing Jack.

They were crammed in the front seat, Hiccup in the middle and Eugene driving. None of them were speaking, just silently watching Vegas light up as the sun hid behind the horizon.

Kristoff leaned over, looking at them. "Hey, guys, when's the next Halley's Comet?"

"Who cares, man?" Eugene sighed, not wanting to talk. He was exhausted, but they couldn't stop till they rescued Jack and returned the unconscious tiger.

"Do you know, Hic?"

Hiccup sighed, thinking about it. "I don't think it's for, like, another 60 years or something." He softly said.

"But it's not tonight, right?"

"No, I don't think so." Hiccup quietly said, shaking his head.

"But you don't know for sure?" Kristoff asked, studying Hiccup.

Hiccup took a deep breath. "No."

Kristoff shuffled in his seat. "I got this cousin Marcus who said he saw one. He said it blew his mind. I wanna make sure I never, ever miss out on a Halley's Comet. So if you guys know if there's gonna be one--"

A large growl came from behind them, cutting Kristoff off.

The three of them flipped around, screaming in horror at being trapped with an angry, awake tiger in a car on a busy Vegas highway.

"Oh, fuck!" Eugene shouted, stepping on the pedal to go faster and gripping on the wheel. The three of them jumped around on the seats, fear coursing through their bodies as they tried to figure out what to do to survive.
