Scene 17: Dragon's Edge

Fishlegs stares at the piece of paper in complete confusion.

"Uh, what is that?" Snotlout points to a crescent shape in the corner of the paper.

"Dragon's Edge. Duh," Ruffnut responds.

"Weren't you part of the planning process?" Fishlegs asks Snotlout.

Snotlout crosses his arms. "Nope! As soon as you left, they went to their hut and refused to let me in."

Fishlegs wasn't sure if that was good or bad.

"What's this?" he asks instead, pointing to a dotted line that ends in a very fat blob.

"Oh, that's you!" Tuffnut smiles, as if Fishlegs should be overjoyed with such an unflattering depiction.

"We based it off of how you looked flying down to the ship," Ruffnut informs him.

"See right there," Tuffnut points to a very blobby blob next to "him" with zoom marks to indicate its descending nature, "that's you barfing."

"What?" Fishegs exclaims.

"Oh, I was wondering what that was," Snotlout nods.

"But I- I didn't barf!" he protests.

"Mmm," Tuffnut pats Fishlegs somberly on the back, "you did in spirit."

Fishlegs scowls. "Okay, but what am-" he shudders, "I doing?"

"Running away!" Tuffnut smiles widely.

"Obviously," Ruffnut sighs, disappointed.

"Obviously," Snotlout repeats smugly, crossing his arms.

"I'm not going to run away," Fishlegs cries.

"Poor guy has a very high opinion of himself," Tuffnut shakes his head sadly.

"Indeed Brother," Ruffnut nods sadly, "indeed."

"You guys!" Fishlegs groans, "You were supposed to come up with a plan! Isn't that why you said you needed to be left alone?"

"Why, my dear fellow!" Tuffnut gasps, shocked, "We did! A quite brrrilliant plan, I'll have you know!" he rolls his r, scowling.

"What's this?" Snotlout interrupts, grabbing the paper from Fishlegs.

"That?" Tuffnut perks up immediately, "Oh, my snotty friend, that's you!"

"That's WHAT?!" Snotlout screeches, holding the paper closer to his face as if that would make him see it better.

"Hang on," Fishlegs wrestles the paper away from Snotlout's face, getting a good look at "Snotlout." It's surprisingly accurate, with a good impression of Hookfang and a more-defined-than-blob Snotlout. They even got his helmet right.

"How come he gets a good drawing?!" Fishlegs protests.

"You call this GOOD?!" Snotlout says incredulously.

Almost simultaneously, Ruffnut cries, "Hey! I drew you!"

"I look like a snowman! With antlers!" Fishlegs jabs the paper so hard , it almost rips.

"CAREFUL WITH THAT!" Tuffnut yanks the paper away, cradling it gently. "There, there, little paper," he croons.

Chicken squawks.

"Oh, I can't have FRIENDS now? Huh?" Tuffnut shoots back.

Chicken stays silent.

"That's what I thought."
