Knock yourself out

A night out? Aren't we supposed to develop an app?" Jack asked, but he didn't sound really enthusiastic.

"Blablabla. You guys are so down at the moment that we will never come up with something that is halfway okay. You need to take your minds off this business for just one night, alright?" Aster said.

North jumped onto his bandwagon. "So, let's go to dinner somewhere and look what the night will bring."

The four young adults fell silent for a moment.

Hiccup was the first one to agree. "You're right. This will never work out now."

"Let's go." Rapunzel backed him up.

Jack and Merida exchanged a look. Well, it couldn't damage anything.

North finished a heavy speech in Russian and earned roaring laughter from the guests sitting around them, while the people on his own table looked pretty much clueless.

"Have you any idea what he's talking about?" Rapunzel asked Aster.

"No idea. When he starts with the Russian, I am useless. The only thing he ever taught me was this." Aster let out a tirade of Russian words.

The reaction was imminent. An older lady on the next table slapped him on the back of his head and said in broken English: "You keep your potty mouth for yourself!"

The interns and their supervisor started laughing, while Aster looked flabbergasted. "I guess that means he didn't teach me a flirting method."

The younger folks laughed even harder, and North turned back to them. "What's it now?"

"Aster tried to impress us with his great Russian knowledge." Hiccup grinned.

North tried to bite back a smile himself. "What Russian knowledge?"

"Ha. Hahaha. You think you're funny, hmm?" Aster grumbled.

"What? I didn't do a thing." And North started whistling in all seriousness.

"I would say 'I hate your country', but doing that in a Russian restaurant filled with Russians might be a bad idea."

"Come on, Aster, at least you've got to admit that the food is great." Jack was fighting with a brochette with meat and almost impaled his own hand.

"Unfortunately, it is excellent." Aster angrily sipped his soup.

"What are we doing next?" Rapunzel asked eagerly.

North asked the waiter for the bill and then got back at them. "Hey, that guy says there is a good dance club just a few streets further."

"I don't dance." Jack and Merida said simultaneously, causing the others to laugh.

Rapunzel grinned. "What are we waiting for then?"

The loud pop music rolled over them as soon as they entered the club, but that was only the first thing that struck their attention.

Hiccup's eyebrows jerked up. "Are you sure the guy said dance club?"

"Because I am pretty sure this is not a dance club…in the usual sense of the word." Aster said dry-wittedly.

A beautiful woman walked up to them, her curves brought out by the tight corset she was wearing.

The company had surprise and disbelief in different grades written on their faces – except for Jack, whose brows were frowned over his phone.
