My Chieftess... ✨Scripted✨ version

Episode 2: Sandbusted

Hiccup: Hang on. We at least need to check this out. (Hiccup sighs) All right, lets split up and look around. Look for any signs of a struggle. B—

Fishlegs: Uh Bo! You can team up with me and Astrid. What better place to find a gift for the Viking who has everything? (whispers)

Ruffnut: Great idea, Fishlegs. Shopping can be so relaxing.

Tuffnut: (sniffs) Therapeutic, even. (tries not to cry)

[Looking around, wandering the Northern Markets]

Random trader viking: (Holds up a spear, showing it to Fishlegs, Bodil, Astrid and the twins) This spear is barbed to the top! So while the head will slide into the victim, pulling it out is a different story. (chuckles evilly)

Tuffnut: And a story I, for one, would love to hear. Chapter and verse, please.

Bodil: Tuff you know I appreciate your contribution but... Hiccup with a spear? (she pulls her spear out. And spins it around her hand.) Spears are more my thing. (She puts it back in her pocket.)

Fishlegs: How about something portable?

Random trader viking: Hmm. Maybe this axe? Made from the neck bone of a dragon. (Bodil, Astrid, and Fishlegs glare at him) Right. I suppose dragon bone is a no-no.

Tuffnut: Not cool.

Random trader viking: Oh- Ooh! I do now carry a wide array of items. This decorative dish, for example. (Astrid glares at him, shaking her head, unimpressed) Uh, how about a real working ball and chain? (Holds up a ball and chain) (Bodil gives him an incredulous look.)

Bodil: (laughs) My boyfriend can take off his leg. You really think that's gonna hold him?

Random trader viking: All right, all right! (looks through his stuff and takes out some sort of paper, rolling it out) I was reserving this for my most special customer but...

Bodil: A map? This man, wants me to get Hiccup, the love of my life... my best friend in the whole wide world, a map? (looks at the trader, unamused)

Random trader viking: Ooh, but it's so much more than just a map. It is told that whoever can decipher it, can find their way to the (whispers next part) Treasure of Tears. (Tuffnut again starts crying, at hearing the word "tears")

Fishlegs: Curse of Tears, Treasure of Tears! Makes sense they'd go together. (shrugs)

Astrid: You know Fishlegs you may be onto something there.

Ruffnut: For the love of Thor! Have you no soul?! Look at this poor man.

Bodil: Oh my dear Thor. No, no, and no. It's like babysitting.

[Hiccup and Snotlout wandering the Northern Markets]

Hiccup: The first thing we have to figure out, is there really a curse? And, if there is, where did it start? Whose curse is it? Are you even listening to me? Snotlout, where did you get that? (sees Snotlout holding Hiccup's betrothal gift for Bodil)

Snotlout: Your saddlebag. (Teases Hiccup) You should be more careful around here. (Hiccup sighs) You know what this thing needs? (walks to a nearby stall)

Hiccup: To be out of your grubby hands? (follows him, eyeing the betrothal gift)

Snotlout: It needs a chain! Then at least BB can wear the stupid thing. Otherwise, it's just an anchor for a very tiny boat. (Positions the carved stone on a string, taking the shape of a necklace) See. Looks nice, right?

Hiccup: Would you give me that? (Snotlout laughs, enjoying the now annoyed Hiccup, when suddenly, a thief snatched the betrothal gift from Snotlout's hands, catching him by surprise) (Hiccup galres at Snotlout, and chases off after the thief)
