My Chieftess... ✨Scripted✨ version

Episode 2: Sandbusted

Astrid: What? (She puts a hand on her ear like she heard a noise) I'm coming Stormfly!

Fishlegs: Don't ask me. She's your betrothed.

[On the way to Trader Johann]

Hiccup: Bo! B! Bo, will you just keep Aquantis steady for a minute? (Struggling to catch up with Aquantis)

Bodil: Sorry. She's feisty today. (Pretends to be struggling to control her dragon) Must be the excitement to see Trader Johann. She really likes him.

Hiccup: She really... What? Since when? Bo! (Confused, Hiccup looks at Astrid for some answers)

Astrid: (shrugs) Maybe she's tired?

Hiccup: Bo or Aquantis?

Astrid: Um? Both~ (She says with a shrug)

[At the Northern Markets]

Stormfly: (Sees a wagon full of ripe apples and eats it all in one bite)

Random Man: Hey! (points to the now empty wagon)

Snotlout: Ugh! (looks around the Northern Markets) Didn't this stink-hole used to be way more crowded?

Tuffnut: Oh, yeah. Definitely. (looks around as well) We would have been robbed at least three times by now. I miss that charm.

[At Trader Johann's Stall]

Johann: (dramatically stating his words) Everything from glass trinkets to golden chalices, vanished. And the traders? Gone without a trace (raises left arm in the air).

Hiccup: You seem to be okay, Johann. Has anything of yours been taken?

Johann: Master Hiccup, leave it to you to find the silver lining in a dark, mysterious cloud.

Snotlout: Yeah, maybe they just packed their stuff up and left. You didn't tell them any of your boring stories, did you, Johann? (crosses arms)

Johann: I assure you, (dramatically speaking) my tales of adventure and revelry are the preeminent part of any weary traveler's day.

Ruffnut: Uh...

Snotlout: Case solved. Anyone wanna race me to the Edge? (Points jokingly)

Johann: Deep within the bowels... (Johann continues to tell his tales...)

Fishlegs: Uh, guys, I don't think this about Johann. (Points to Trader Johann)

Hiccup: Okay, Fishlegs. What is it about?

Fishlegs: The Curse of Tears. (Tuffnut starts crying at the word "tears")

Ruffnut: It's that word. Makes him open up like a water spout. Ever since we were kids.

Snotlout: Oh, what word? "Tears"? (Tuffnut again bursts out crying at hearing the word tears)

Ruffnut: Really? (glares at Snotlout)

Snotlout: Sorry. Jeez, Louise... (smirks) Tears. (Tuffnut cries harder)

Bodil: It's alright Tuff. (She comforts him by pulling him to her in a hug and humming a soft song and rocking him.)

Hiccup: (sighs) Fishlegs, can you explain?

Fishlegs: As I was saying, if the Curse of T-- (Ruffnut glares at him if ever he says the word) ... If the curse of you-know-what is real, and I am not saying it is, many traders and valuables have fallen victim to it and vanished, never to be heard from again.

Snotlout: Well, I like a good mystery as well as anyone, but I promised Hookfang we could roll in some Yak dung back home. So you (points to Fishlegs) can keep your curse. And you! (points to Tuffnut) Tears. (Tuffnut again starts crying) (Bodil smacks him against the head with a hammer.) Ow! Now I'm in tears. (Causing Tuff to cry even harder.)
