punchandkiss | Sixth Viking Charge [Video]

[Astrid is sitting on the ground when she turns on her gear, her back resting against the flopped-out form of her Luxray, Crackletail, who looks pretty beat but his tail wags occasionally. The viking teen has a smile on her face, and after a few seconds she holds up the violet city gym badge.]

I got it!

[She tosses it in the air and catches it, a big grin on her face.]

It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be...I guess I spent a little too much time training and letting these guys get so big. Look at Crackletail, I could probably ride him if I wanted to, and he used to fit in my lap! Actually, he's still kind of small for that, maybe...

[But she is suitably impressed with evolution at this point.]

And Tuskgrinder evolved into this huge...I don't even know. It's amazing. But he won't come near the gear, I think he's embarrassed. I'm not sure why, he's really strong now.

Anyway, I'm done here in Violet. Hiccup, where are you guys now? I'll try to catch up. Once this guy stops

I ride on my Luxray all the time. It beats walking.

You sure? He's smaller than that growlithe I road...I don't want to hurt him.

Del is about the size of an Earth pony. Unfortunately, I am also not very...

[ grunts. ]

Tall.

...How tall are you?

[It's odd, being 'friends' with people she has never actually met...]

...

[ such a notable pause. ]

Barely five feet.

Oh.

[Huh.]

You're shorter than me.

I'm shorter than almost every shithead I know.

[ it's a curse. 8( ]

Is it a troll thing?

I think this time it's just a me thing.

I told you you could beat him no problem. [Though man, you were obviously much better at training than he was.

...Well, what else is new.] We're in Goldenrod right now! It's a lot closer to Violet than Mahogany. [Pause.] I could actually leave with Adder soon, and we could probably be back at Goldenrod around the same time tomorrow. If, uh, you know, you wanted.

I had to see it for myself.

[Oh hey awkwardness. Ugh.]

Uh. Sure. That'd be uh...cool. You know, if you wanted. You don't have to...

Well, it's not like I mind, or anything. [It means seeing Astrid in person again, after all. Not that he'll point that out.] I just wanted to make sure it was okay with you before I just...showed up.

...Yeah, asking is better.

But it'd be nice, yeah. Faster than riding Crackletail anyway.

Heh. I imagine you'll be glad to be flying on a dragon again. [AND YAY, she said yes. That means in around 11-13 hours, he would get to see her! ~~Then spend another 12+ hours with her.~~ Ahem, I mean... After a week of missing home, that would certainly be a relief.] I'll have to let Carmen, Cooper, and Albert I guess, too, know before I go. But after that, I'll be on my way.

[Have a tiny smile as he attempts to move away from a less awkward subject.]

Wish I could've seen your battle.

[...Yeah, because THAT'S less awkward??? Maybe if he wasn't Hiccup and perpetually awkward.]

...Yeah, I would, actually. [She's not reluctant to admit that, though in a way it's still sort of strange.] And you probably should tell Cooper, at least. [She actually likes him.]

[And then a little grin.]

Yeah, it was pretty great.

[And so, Hiccup began to wonder (quite irrationally) if Astrid had a crush on Coop.

...Yep.]

Which of your pokemon did you end up using?

[Well that's silly.]

Crackletail and Tuskgrinder, mostly. They pretty much had it in hand, though I did have meatball out for a little while.

Just to see how she'd do.

_{[Astrid can probably HEAR the grin in Heather's voice.]}

Kicked Falkner's butt, huh?

May the proud smiles of many generations shine on you.

... Or something.

[She smirks.]

That seems a little grand for the first gym.

Eh, maybe, but that guy's a pompous putz, so it always warms my heart when someone fries his chickens in a fight.

[Astrid smiles and gives a little bow.]

Glad to help. Anyone else you want me to deflate for you?

Once you get to Goldenrod, be sure to give Whitney a good trouncing.

That chick is annoying as hell.

[Astrid grins.]

Well I can certainly do that. Hiccup's picking me up, so I'll even be there soon.

--Oh, that's right!

_{[Cue a grin on Heather's part that's big enough to be heard.]}

I told you they came back sometimes.

Yeah...[She can't help but smile too.] He didn't come back where he was supposed to, though. He showed up back where he disappeared.
