Chapter 10

AN: Hello all my wonderful readers. I'm uploading this chapter a little early because I have a busy day ahead. I hope you'll all enjoy it. Now on with the show XD

Hiccup's POV

At 10'o clock the following morning I was getting ready to head to the bake sale. Sadie told me it was held annually at the park.

As I come to the foot of the stairs I see Astrid in the parlour with my laptop. Toothless was trying to rub against her but he simply passed through her and fell. This caused me to laugh which caught Astrid's attention.

"Hiccup" She said happily. "I was just about to check out this outernet thingy you told me about."

"It's internet Astrid." I tell her with a chuckle. "You sure you can handle a laptop after the microwave incident?"

Astrid pouts while floating and harrumphs. "Hmmf, that box was just not cooperating."

At this point I couldn't help letting out a loud laugh which caused Astrid to pout more. "Whatever you say Astrid. I'll be back later."

"Alright Hiccup. Have fun." Astrid yells back as she starts searching for the power button.

The drive to the park was pretty short. I could see banners and balloons hanging as the entire area was festively decorated. I parked my car near the entrance, getting out slowly and enjoying the cool morning breeze.

I spotted Sadie easily at one of the stands as she was busy scolding her father, most likely for stealing another muffin.

"Good morning." I say to them as I approached.

Greetings rang out and as I stepped closer to the stall I saw Richard trying to sneak a muffin. "Richard? I didn't expect to see you here." I say and I then watch Sadie turn just as Richard had plucked a muffin.

"Oh no you don't!!" She yelled while pointing a finger at him accusingly. "You're supposed to help me unload the car. Then you can have a muffin."

Richard groaned and shot me a glare but he trudged back towards the pickup truck parked next to the stall. I gave Alvin a look and silently gestured to Richard. Alvin laughed and told me. "Was only planning to keep him for 24 hours. Now he's hooked on Sadie's muffins and got roped into helping."

"Okay......" I said as I took in the scene.

I chatted with Alvin and Sadie a little while longer before I went to explore the rest of the stands. I was walking past the pony ride when Heather bumped into me causing me to spill a bit of the hot chocolate I was drinking on my shirt.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry." She quickly said. "H..Hiccup." She exclaimed as she recognized me. "I'll pay for the dry cleaning. I'm so sorry."

"Heather you look frantic. What happened?" I ask as I take in her appearance. "And don't worry about the dry cleaning."

She sighs and looks around. "You haven't see my brother have you?"

"No I haven't." I tell.

"I lost him again. He had this new theory and wanted to go "spying"." She tells me making air quotes. "I caught him leaving the house with a high tech suit."

I quirk an eyebrow at that statement.

"Don't worry I confiscated it, but he still managed to give me the slip. Said he was going to stake out the bake sale." She replied and looks around once more.

"Well, I'm sure you'll find him." I tell her as I approach a trashcan to throw away what was left of the hot chocolate.

Just as I threw the cup in and the lid closed I heard a "YEOACH!!" coming from the trashcan.

I couldn't help but let out a sigh. "Heather, I think I found him." I tell her and motion to the trash bin that was now lightly rocking.

Heather quickly grabs the lid and yanks it off the bin. Inside I see a grumbling Dagur, covered in hot chocolate, with a set of high tech looking goggles on his head.

"There you are!!" Heather said and pulled her brother out of the bin. "When will you give up this wild goose chase!!"

"It's not a wild goose chase!!" Dagur yelled back. "I was getting evidence." He then gestured to the goggles on his head.

Heather stares at the goggles and then asked exasperated. "Are those night vision infrared goggles?"

"Of course they are." Dagur replied. "How else am I supposed to see ghosts."

"You're using them in the daylight you big idiot!!" Heather yells and swats her brother on the back of his head. "You and your ghost hunting!! At a bake sale no less!!"

"I was just checking out a theory." Dagur whined and gestured to me. "I'm sure if Hiccup would just confirm......."

"Not this again." Heather states getting annoyed. She then grabs her brother by the ear and begins to drag him away. "I want you to stop bothering Hiccup." She says and then turns to me. "I'm so sorry about my brother." She tells me. "Just send me the dry cleaning bill. It's the least I can do for all the drama we've caused."

As the depart I hear Dagur telling Heather. "Why won't you believe me!!!"

I will have to tell Astrid to be a bit more careful as well. Who knows what Dagur could pull.

After a bit more shopping and buying a few cakes I decided to head back. On my way to the car I passed by Alvin's stall and saw that Sadie had finally given her father and Richard some of her muffins to feast on.

I was almost near the exit when I heard my name being called.

"Oh Hiccup dear!!" Was shouted and I turned only to see Melanie come towards me. Before I could react she had latched onto my arm and was hanging over me.

"Melanie!!" I shouted. "Just what the hell do you think you're doing?!" I ask as I unwrap her from my arm.

"Why, greeting you of course." She says and tries to give me a peck on the cheek, which I deftly avoid.

"I would say it was nice seeing you, but that would be a lie." I tell her and watch her still. Sadie, Alvin and Richard had noticed the commotion and were approaching from behind Melanie.

"Oh Hiccup darling. I just wanted to apologize for what happened. Richard and I broke up and I made a huge mistake in letting you go." She tells me in a sweet voice. "I was wondering if we could give it another go?"

"Melanie, do you really think I'd fall for that?" I tell her with a glare. "You just want fame and fortune. Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me."

I see Melanie making a sad face. "But Hiccup darling. We had a good thing going. Can't we make it work?" She says and tries to make a grab for my arm again.

"Oh, like you had a good thing going with Richard?" I ask. "I can honestly say that I have no feelings for you anymore."

Melanie scoffs. "Richard was a mistake. He had nothing to offer."

"And there's the Melanie behind the mask. Quite the gold-digger you are." I ground out. Before I could say anything else Richard spoke from behind Melanie.

"A mistake was I? Nothing to offer?" He asked with a cold voice, which caused Melanie to turn around. Her eyes widening as she saw Richard.

"R..Richard!! What are you doing here??!!" Melanie yelled.

"I came here to try and win you back, but right now I see what type of woman you really are." Richard said while crossing his arms. "I can't believe I was blinded by love. You certainly don't deserve it."

Melanie began sputtering. I looked at the scene and sighed in annoyance. "Sadie, Alvin, ......Richard." I said. There was really no use with me staying mad at Richard. We both got played by the same woman. "I'll be seeing you." I tell them and begin walking towards my car, all the while completely ignoring Melanie's attempts at getting my attention.

As I was pulling out of the parking spot I could hear Melanie yell. "Hiccup!!! Please wait!!! We can make this work!!"

I decided to ignore her and drive off.

When I got home I poured myself a glass of lemonade while going over the events of the day. Just as I took a sip Astrid frantically floated into the kitchen, her aura was blinding and erratic.

"HICCUP!!!! HOW DO I GET THE NAKED MEN OFF THE SCREEN??!!!" She yelled which caused me to almost choke on the lemonade.
