Choice of the Cheerleader 02 - A Fair of Change - Part 2

Quinn was annoyed. Brittany’s audition, while rather good, wasn’t an excuse for Mr. O’Neill to not consider anyone else. She wondered what to do about it. Then it hit her. Sabotage! “She won’t know what’s coming!” she said darkly.


The fair was already underway when the Morgendorffers arrived. Both Quinn and Daria took leave of their parents. “Daria! Quinn!” Helen called.

“That’s funny, they were here a minute ago.”

Helen saw Linda Griffin approaching, along with her husband and children. “Linda. Tom!”

“Helen, Jake,” Tom greeted.

“Have you met, Sam and Chris?” Linda asked. “Kids, say hello to Mr. and Mrs. Morgendorffer.”

The two boys ran off. Sandi rolled her eyes.

“Too bad Quinn lost out to the Taylor girl,” Linda said.

“There will be other opportunities,” Helen said in a neutral tone. “The competition was fairly stiff.”

“That’s not the way I heard it,” Linda shot back.

‘Of course, Sandi would misrepresent it,’ Helen thought with a glance at the girl in question as she too, wandered off.

They heard a sound nearby, a door into a cabin crashed down.

“Is that a…?” Astrid asked.

“Yes,” Hiccup answered. “A dragon. And where there’s one. There are probably others.”

The Rumbleclaw roared.

“Out of the way!” Astrid said.

“Over here!” Nefertiti called from a room at the side.

They all ran over.

“More Dragons,” Spitelout groused. “Perfect.”

“Someone must have captured them. We need to find out who,” Hiccup said. “Berk may be the only safe place.”

“What if this is a trap?” Spitelout asked.

“We’ll escape,” Hiccup said. “We need to find wherever it is being steered from.”

“But how?” Snotlout asked.
