My Chieftess... ✨Scripted✨ version

Episode 8: Edge of Disaster Part 1

Astrid: You see what I'm talking about, right?

Tuffnut: Hey, it's not like we woke up this morning hoping to spend 24/7 with you either, Astrid. I mean, you are not exactly a picnic. And I think you know what I'm saying. You have not ever been a blanket on a grassy knoll with delicious food. But, we are team players. We will do what is necessary for the good of the group. Hence, we shall remain behind and enjoy your good company, my fair Astrid. Even if you have no blankets or grassy knolls to offer.

Hiccup: We'll be back by tomorrow at the latest. Just do the best you can. Okay? If it gets too bad just go get Bo. So she can mediate. And try to get along, please?

Tuffnut: No need to worry about us, young Hiccup.

Snotlout: Oh, Astrid, I know these next 24 hours will be difficult for you. Unable to look into these deep romantic, yet hauntingly beautiful eyes, shimmering like gold dust in the wind- Okay, so we'll see you when we get back. Have fun. Don't talk to any strange Dragon Hunters!

(The other riders fly off)

Tuffnut: Bye. We'll miss you. Write home often. Okay, I think the first team building exercise we should perform is that of going back to sleep. I mean, as a team, of course.

Ruffnut: Couldn't agree more. What say you, Astrid?

Astrid: I have to go hide this. And when I get back, I expect both of you to be sweating profusely from hard work.

Tuffnut: "What say you, Astrid?" Really? Haven't I always told you it's better to beg for permission than to ask for forgiveness?

Ruffnut: Personally, I think it's the other way around.

Tuffnut: Oh, so now you're the literary authority on the subject of permissions and forgivenesses?

Astrid: Quit talking. You lose focus when your mouth is moving.

Tuffnut: (mimicking) "I'm Astrid".

Astrid: Real mature, guys.

(Scene switches to Bodil who's set up targets all over the beach on the far side of the island. She moves through the obstacle course well. Sweat beading her forehead. To avoid a target trying to kick her she does a seamless backflip and lands beautifully chopping the head of the target.)

Bodil: What do you think Aquantis? Am I the greatest Viking ever yet?

(Aquantis growls lovingly and lets Bodil pet her in support.)

Dagur: I don't know about her— but I think so.

Bodil: Dagur.

Dagur: How's it going Bodil? We have you surrounded. I don't know how you plan to get out of this.

Bodil: Like this. (She and Aquantis maneuver their way into the Forest but not before Bodil received a cut from an arrow.) Aquantis... take this. (She removed the necklace she wears every day which now had a smidge of blood on it from Bo's arm and ties it around Aquantis's leg) Find Hiccup. Don't worry about me, girl. I'll be alright. (They hear a rustle.) Go Waterlily. Go! (She throws her spear at one of the targets which causes it to knock two of the hunters down.)

Bodil: You wanna do this Dagur? No better time than the present. (She smiles. And grips her hammer tightly. Dagur screams and runs at her)

(Scene switches to the twins and Astrid hard at work. The twins are looking shocked at the amount that has been completed.)

Tuffnut: We've done all of these already? Man, we are kicking some serious-

Astrid: No, no, no. That's your first one. All the others, I did by myself. Go, team. You know what? I'll get the rest of the lumber myself. You two start lashing together some poles for the first level of stairs. Do you think you can handle that?
