42. Snotlout!

Talulahh's POV:

"Hmm. Pretty good turnout." Hiccup noted as we flew towards the island.

"Of course it's a good turnout, Hiccup. The people love the Jorgensons." Snotlout replied.

We landed on the island where Spitelout had built his storage unit.

"All of Berk has come out to admire the Jorgensons' handiwork!" Snotlout said as we walked./

"Nah. Everyone's just here for the free food." Tuff shrugged.

"Nobody comes to these things to admire anything." Ruff added, dumping yak chops into her helmet.

Stoick cleared his throat. "In every Viking;s life, there comes a time when you have to take a chance. Risk everything. Today, we celebrate a man who took the initiative. We now have a new off-Berk storehouse, thanks to-"

Before Stoick could finish, Spitelout slammed open the doors of the storehouse. "Spitelout Jorgensons, of the great Jorgensons!" He announced.

The people cheered, especially Snotlout. "Spitelout, Spitelout, oy, oy, oy!" Snotlout chanted.

Snotlout's POV:

I slipped through Berkians. "We finally showed 'em all what it means to be a Jorgensons!" I grinned, looking at my father.

"Hey, we didn't show them anything, boyo. I did." My father replied, putting his hand on my shoulder.

He continued, "Look at 'em. All clamoring for Hiccup and Talulahh's approval. Workin' every angle." He looked at the other Riders, who were laughing with each other. "A Jorgensons doesn't ask permission to be great. That's the only reason we have this storehouse."

"Dad, I think they're just having fun." I said, slightly confused.

"Oh, fun? A bit of silly time?" He mocked. "Sharpen up, boyo! They're kissin' their way up the ladder. Thor only knows what they're sayin' about you."

I looked back at my friends. They were talking and laughing. What if they were talking and laughing at me?

"Astrid? A Hofferson!" Spitelout continued. "I wouldn't trust her to sharpen my axe. Or that Fishlegs, he and Hiccup are as thick as thieves. And those devious twins. Nothing stings more than a dagger. And that Talulahh, just wait until she posions you with her 'healing'. And those new girls, Dahlia and Heather, how can you trust them? You wanna be like your old man? A great leader takes what's rightfully his. And if he doesn't, he'll be left in the dust. Do ya understand what I'm tryin' to tell ya?"

Dahlia and Hiccup laughed. "You mock me? Do you know who I am?" I sat up. I gasped, looking around. I was on the ground.

"I used to be a Dragon Rider."  I mumbled.

Astrid walked up, "Snotlout?" She dropped a coin in my helmet, that was on the ground next to me.

FIshlegs joined her side. "Poor little Snotlout."

"He had such promise." Astrid shook her head.

Heather gagged,joining Astrid and FIshlegs. "Ugh. You know, I even secretly wanted to marry him. But now? Ew!" They all laughed as they walked off.

Then Dahlia walked up. "Ew, what happened to him?" She looked at Talulahh, who was at her side.

"He used to be my favorite Rider, but look at him now? All covered in dirt." Tu scoffed.
