Chapter 13

Hiccup hummed to himself as he fixed his suit in the mirror. The black tuxedo fitted him like a glove and he once again adjusted his tie. "Hiccup honey!" Astrid called from the bathroom "Can you help me zip up?"

Hiccup walked to the bathroom to see Astrid in her black shoulderless gown putting on makeup. She wore rose colored lipstick and was applying some eyeliner. Hiccup walked up behind her and pulled up the back zipper of her gown before giving her a kiss on the cheek. "You look gorgeous." He whispered in her ear.

"Hiccup you little devil." Astrid giggled. "You're lucky that this dress is hard to get into, otherwise I'd make sure we didn't leave the house tonight."

"Promises promises." Hiccup laughed as he walked back to grab his coat. He felt inside his coat pocket and smiled once he felt the small box nestled there. It took a lot of bribing to get Snotlout to babysit both Cookie and Toothless again, especially after last weekend when the neighbour's parrot was involved, while he went in search of the perfect ring. 'Tonight is the night' He thought to himself as he wore his coat while Astrid grabbed her shawl and purse. They were going ballroom dancing, something Astrid greatly enjoyed, and then heading to one of the best restaurants in town.

'Dear Thor. Tonight's the night.' Hiccup thought as he tried to shoo his nervousness away without having Astrid catch on. He gave Toothless, who was laying on his back in his little fluffy bed, a scratch before walking out of the room.

They were about to leave when frantic knocking could be heard on the front door. Hiccup opened the door and saw Ruffnut on the other side. He opened it mid knock and had to duck to avoid a black eye.

"Hiccup you have to help me!" Ruffnut shrieked as she quickly walked inside. "That two-bit demoness has kidnapped my MUFFIN!!"

"Your muffin?" Hiccup, Astrid and Cookie, who was woken up from his nap by the commotion, asked at nearly the same time. Hiccup thought for a moment before it clicked. "You mean Eret right?" He asked just to be sure. It might have been an actual muffin that got kidnapped. You could never know with the twins.

"Yes Eret!!!" Ruffnut exclaimed. "Some two-bit demoness started hitting on him in the club that we visited and next thing I knew she whisked him away to Hell!"

"You got Eret to go on a club with you?" Astrid asked before she gave Ruffnut a high-five. "You go girl."

"I know right." Ruffnut smirked before she got serious again. "I need your help to get to hell so that I can beat up that Camicazi for stealing my man!"

The name caused Hiccup to let out a groan before he asked "You're an angel. Can't you just go to hell yourself?"

"I'd love to but I'd need Tuff. The portal requires two angels to open, just like the portal to heaven requires two demons to open." Ruffnut explained.

"I'm afraid to ask........ But why can't you ask Tuffnut?" Hiccup mumbled.

"He's speed dating with Chicken somewhere up north." Ruffnut said as if that explained everything.

"He's speed dating his chicken?" Cookie asked perplexed.

"Oh no you silly jar!" Ruffnut stated. "It's Chicken whose speed dating."

"Then...... what is Tuffnut doing there?" Astrid asked even more confused now.

"He's there for moral support of course!" Ruffnut said as if it was obvious.

"Shouldn't have asked." Hiccup could be heard mumbling as he face palmed.

"So will you help me?" Ruffnut asked as she gave them the puppy-dog eyes. Hiccup had his hands in his coat pocket. One hand gripped the small box before he turned to Astrid. He wasn't going to let one of his friends who needed help down and he especially wasn't going to leave Eret with Camicazi.

"Shall we Hiccup?" Astrid asked after she finished searching for something on her phone. "I'm sure we can make our dinner reservation afterwards."

Hiccup nodded as he and Ruffnut grabbed one of Astrid's arms each. They poofed out of the living room leaving Cookie alone. "Well this will probably end badly." Cookie muttered before going back to sleep.

They landed in Hell in front of a fancy hotel. The sign read 'Hotel Grand Deville'. "How original" Hiccup mumbled as he looked towards Astrid "Why did we land here?"

"Camicazi's in this hotel." Astrid told him. "I checked on her facebook status." She explained while showing her the post. 'Having a good time with new Hottie!' It read and along with is was the location she was currently at.

"How dare she call my Eret that!" Ruffnut angrily shouted. "This means war!" Just as Hiccup asked "You have her on facebook? Aren't you guys rivals or something?"

"Hiccup keep your friends close and your enemies closer." Astrid laughed. Hiccup merely raised a brow and then shook his head at her reasoning. They proceeded to follow Ruffnut inside. She was marching with a purpose and a menacing aura that would have a Cerberus fleeing with its tail between its legs. They ended up at the front desk where a swarmy looking demon sat behind.

"Can I help you miss?" The man asked as he merely glanced at Ruffnut.

"I need to know where the room is for a demoness named Camicazi." Ruffnut tried to be civil.

"I'm sorry miss. I can't divulge the room number of our clients unless you have a legitimate reason for visiting or are family.

Ruffnut's brow twitched in irritation and before Hiccup or Astrid could stop her she reached over and pulled the poor demon towards herself. "Listen here Dennis" She read his nametag before hissing "I am so not in the mood right now. Either you tell me where this Camicazi's room is or I'll make 'The Rampage' look like a warm up."

"Room 386" The man sputtered while handing Ruffnut a keycard. "Please don't hurt me!" He begged. Ruffnut let him go and patted him on the head before making her way towards the elevator.

Hiccup and Astrid followed behind her to make sure the hotel would be left standing. "This place sure is busy." Hiccup commented as the elevator doors closed.

"It's the annual Leaders of Hell convention." Astrid pointed out.

"Leaders of Hell?" Hiccup asked.

"Sure.... Hell is separated much like the countries. "There are different rulers for each section. Yama, Hades, Satan, the Mayan Death Gods to name a few."

"I see." Hiccup said as he listened to the explanation. The elevator arrived on the third floor and Ruffnut revealed her wings and halo. She pushed her halo forward and marched towards the room. She used the card key but got frustrated as it kept giving her an error. It finally worked and Ruffnut nearly wrenched the door off it's hinges. She stepped inside the room and shouted "GET YOUR GRIMY HANDS AWAY FROM MY MAN!!" The occupants of the room froze, the champagne glasses halfway towards their mouths.

"Well this isn't good." Hiccup commented as he and Astrid stepped aside as a catfight broke out.

"Nope, definitely not good." Astrid said as the two fighting women smashed through a wall with their superior strength.

Meanwhile down in the hotel's convention hall "Ladies and gentledemons! Give it up for Alvin and the Outcasts!!!" Someone on stage announced. There was raucous applause as a burly man with a black beard carrying a fiddle appeared on stage followed by the rest of the band. He waved to the audience before starting the song.

"The Devil went down to Georgia. He was lookin' for a soul to steal. He was in a bind cause he was way behind. He was willing to make a deal. When he came across this young man sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot. And the Devil jumped upon a hickory stump and said "Boy, let me tell you what."" The crowd cheered as Alvin played his fiddle.

"I bet you didn't know it, but I'm a fiddle player, too. And if you'd care to take a dare I'll make a bet with you. Now you play a pretty good fiddle, boy, but give the Devil his due. I'll bet a fiddle of gold against your soul cause I think I'm better than you." Alvin sang to many demons dancing when suddenly a hole was created in the ceiling and two fighting women fell through.

"What in tarnation?!" Several demons including Alvin shrieked. The music stopped and they watched the ongoing catfight. Hiccup, Astrid and Eret had jogged down towards the convention hall just in time to see Camicazi trying to drown Ruffnut in a punchbowl.

"I'll teach you you hussy!!" Camicazi shrieked.

"Who you calling a hussy, you hussy!!" Ruffnut countered as they now rolled on the floor, yanking at each others hair. "How dare you seduce my man!!"

"Your man!!" Camicazi shouted. "Honey news flash! He told me you were his little sister!"

"OOOH" the crowd of demons went upon hearing that. Eret visibly blanched and took a step back when Ruffnut's voice pierced the hall "WHAT DO YOU MEAN SISTER!! I'M HIS GIRLFRIEND!"

"I'M HIS GIRLFRIEND!" Camicazi now shouted as she was getting red in the face. Both women suddenly stopped as if they realized something. "Wait a minute..." Camicazi mumbled as she let go of Ruffnut and both sat up. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

"If what I'm thinking is what you're thinking." Ruffnut mumbled as she set her skewed halo right. Both women looked at Eret who was trying to make a hasty retreat. "ERET GET BACK HERE!!!" They shouted in unison and chased after him. "YOU HAVE SOME EXPLAINING TO DO!" could be heard from the lobby. The demons cringed as a manly yelp was heard followed by a crash.

"Well...." Hiccup had no words for what happened. He looked at his watch and then groaned at the time. They had missed their reservations. He looked around at the hall and when he spotted Alvin he suddenly got an idea. "Wait here Astrid!" Hiccup said before quickly sprinting to the stage. He whispered something to Alvin who nodded.

Alvin cleared his throat and then began to sing. "All I am, all I'll be. Everything in this world, all that I'll ever need. Is in your eyes, shining at me. When you smile I can feel, all my passion unfolding. Your hand brushes mine. And a thousand sensations seduce me 'cause I, I do, cherish you. For the rest of my life you don't have to think twice I will, love you still. From the depths of my soul, it's beyond my control. I've waited so long to say this to you. If you're asking do I love you this much. I do "

"Hiccup what?" Astrid asked as she heard the song. She looked at Hiccup and gasped upon seeing him down on one knee. The song continued and Hiccup produced the black velvet ring box. He opened it to reveal a beautifully crafted platinum ring with a set of three diamonds on it. "Astrid I had a big fancy dinner planned during which I thought to propose to you." He started. "But today I realized that I didn't need something fancy to make my feelings known to you. All I needed was you. Astrid Hofferson I love you more than the world and I would be honored if you would become my wife." He asked and cast hopeful eyes on her as she stared down at him in surprise.

"Oh Yes Hiccup. YES!!" Astrid shouted before jumping Hiccup and enveloping him in a very steamy, passionate kiss. "I would love to marry you!" She happily said as he slipped the ring on her finger. The crowd gave a wild clap and even Camicazi and Ruffnut cheered as they dragged a semi unconscious Eret behind them who also weakly clapped.

Astrid had a predatory look in her eyes and whispered to him "Well seeing as we are in a hotel........." She trailed off as Hiccup's cheeks tinged pink.
