A/N: Um…it's probably best not to ask.

Long story short, I did a blooper reel for one of my Lion King fan fictions several years ago and it was pretty well-received, so I figured, why not do one for Out of the Sea? I started thinking of scenes that were good candidates for outtakes and here we are. I know they're dumb and silly, but they're not supposed to be taken seriously. Don't look for any logic here because I promise there is none to be found. They're just for fun. Just bear that in mind. I hope you enjoy them!

During the "Fathoms Below" sequence:

Astrid: "Isn't this great? The salty sea air, the wind blowing in your face… A perfect day to be at sea!"

Snotlout: (leans over rail and moans sickly) "Oh yes…deli—whoa!"

[The ship lurches on a wave and Snotlout topples overboard with a loud splash. A great deal of laughter follows as the crew struggles to pull a not-amused Snotlout from the water.]

…

Same scene, shortly afterward:

Gobber: (brandishing fish at Snotlout) "I'm telling you, lad, down there in the depths of the ocean they…whoops!"

[The fish slips from his grip too soon and hits the deck of the boat. A scuffle immediately follows to get it back into the ocean. Gobber grabs it but it slips like a bar of soap from his hands, hits Snotlout in the face, and lands in Astrid's hands. She tries to toss it back to Gobber but misses, and it hits Snotlout again ("Hey! What's the big idea?!") before getting tangled in one of the other Viking's hair. He gets it free and he tosses it again, hitting Snotlout for a third time. At this point the director yells, "CUT!" and the screen goes blank.]

…

During the dragon race:

[Fishlegs and Camicazi are both trying to catch the black octopus. Fishlegs is closer and he reaches out for it, but his fingers slip off the octopus' surface and don't get a good grip. He and Meatlug go careening off-camera. There is a crash and several screams, and as several merpeople go to make sure no one's hurt, we hear Fishlegs call from off-screen, "I'm okay!"]

…

During the argument between Stoick and Hiccup:

Stoick: "You went to the surface again, didn't you?"

Hiccup: (grinning sheepishly and shrugging) "Nothing happened…"

Stoick: "Hiccup, how many times must we go through this? You could have been seen by one of those barbarians, by…by one of those humans!"

Hiccup: "I'm sixteen years old, I'm not a child anymore!"

Stoick: "They're dangerous! Do you think I…wait…what…?"

[There is an awkward silence. Then…]

Hiccup: "I messed up the line, didn't I?"

[Laughter from the set]

…

During the "Part of Your World" sequence:

Hiccup: "Up where they walk / Up where they run / Up where they stay all day in the—"

[He is interrupted by a great crash and whirls around in time to see Fishlegs knock over a stack of his human treasures. The two mermen stare at each other blankly for a moment.]

Hiccup: "Hey there, Fishlegs. What brings you here?"

Fishlegs: "Oh you know, the current. Nice place you've got here, by the way."

Hiccup: "Thanks! Took forever to find this little thingamabob here…" (picks up a boot) "…but I think it really brings the whole place together."

[Fishlegs cracks up and this gets Hiccup laughing too. Toothless looks from one to the other in utter confusion.]

…

During Astrid's birthday party:

[Gobber is preparing to present Astrid's birthday present.]

Gobber: "Happy birthday, Astrid."

[The sheet is ripped from the painting with such force that it sends the shield flying right off the boat and into the water. There is a stunned silence. Then Hiccup emerges, carrying it aloft.]

Hiccup: "Thanks! This is gonna look great next to my collection of axes!"

Astrid: (running to the edge) "Hey! Give that back, we have a scene to shoot!"

Hiccup: (swimming away while still holding the painting) "Gonna have to catch me first!"

[He dives. Astrid huffs.]

Astrid: "Just wait till you get your legs, fish-boy. Then we'll see who's faster."

…

As Hiccup sings to Astrid on the beach:

Hiccup: "What would I give / To live where you are? / What would I pay / To stay here beside—"

[His fingers lightly brush Astrid's cheek as he sings, but this tickles her and she fails to hold her unconscious pose as she bursts into laughter.]

Astrid: "Sorry! Sorry! I'm good, really…"

…

Same scene, take two:

Hiccup: "What would I give / To live where—"

[His fingers haven't touched her face yet, but Astrid starts giggling anyway.]

Astrid: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I can get it together, I promise!" (she giggles)

Hiccup: (rolls his eyes) "Whenever you're ready, milady. I haven't got any plans for this afternoon, anyway."

[Hiccup then yelps in pain as Astrid punches him on the arm.]

…

During the "Under the Sea" sequence:

Fishlegs: "The newt plays the flute / The carp plays the harp / The plaice play the bass / And they're sounding sharp / The…uh…" (music continues, but Fishlegs stops singing, smiling sheepishly) I, uh…I forgot what comes next…"

[Laughter from off-camera]

…

Same scene, take two:

Fishlegs: "The newt plays the flute / The harp plays the carp…I mean…crap!"

…

Same scene, take three:

Fishlegs: "The newt plays the flute / The carp plays the harp / The plaice play the bass / And they're sounding sharp / The bass plays the brass / The…argh!"

[Laughter and groans from off-screen. Someone moans, "We're gonna be here all night!"]

…

Same scene, take four:

Fishlegs: "The newt plays the flute / The carp plays the harp / The plaice play the bass / And they're sounding sharp / The bass plays the brass / The chub plays the tub / The duke is the fluke of…" (he groans and smacks a hand to his forehead) "I'll get it right eventually, I swear I will!"

…

Same scene, shortly afterward:

Fishlegs: "Each little snail here / Knows how to wail here / That's why it's hotter / Under the water / Yeah we're in luck here / Down in the muck here / Under the sea"

[He gestures to where Hiccup…is lying on the rock, fast asleep. Toothless is nudging him frantically, but he's so exhausted that he doesn't even stir.]

Director: "Oh for the love of Thor! Someone wake up Hiccup!"

…

When Stoick calls Fishlegs in to question him:

Fishlegs: (to himself) "I mustn't overreact. I must remain calm." (swims into the room, bows before Stoick; when he speaks, his voice is high and squeaky) "Yes?" (clears throat) "Yes, Your Majesty?"

Director: "Hey Fishlegs, do you think maybe you could go a little higher on that 'Yes'?"

Fishlegs: "Uh…sure, I guess I could try…"

…

Same scene, take two:

Fishlegs: "Ye—ack!" (starts choking and puts his hand to his throat)

Stoick: (concerned) "Are you all right, lad?"

Fishlegs: "Uh-huh…just went a little too high, that's all…"

Director: "…Never mind…"

…

As Stoick is destroying Hiccup's collection:

[Stoick points his hammer at a pair of boots and they disintegrate. He then demolishes some spoons and ladels, followed by some clothes, books, and weapons nearby.]

Hiccup: "Dad, no!…No, please!"

[Stoick ignores Hiccup and levels the hammer at…one of the cameras, which immediately explodes. His face goes blank.]

Stoick: "Uh…oops…"

…

As Alvin enters Hiccup's grotto:

Alvin: "Poor child. Poor, sad child. You have a very serious…waaaaaaaahhh!"

[Toothless, smelling eel, snaps at him, misses, and starts chasing a terrified Alvin all over the cave.]

Hiccup: "Toothless, no! Wait! He's not really an eel! It's a costume, like mine! Come on, bud, take it easy! You're gonna hurt someone!" (Toothless doesn't listen. Hiccup sighs and puts his head in his hands as the dragon continues chasing Alvin.) "Thank you for nothing, you useless reptile."

Alvin: "Will someone please get some dragon nip and save me?!"

…

As Hiccup and Toothless enter Excellinor's lair:

[Hiccup looks down in shock and disgust at the polyps lining the floor. One of them reaches up and grabs his wrist. He yelps and pulls back, but instead of slipping from its grasp, he pulls the polyp from the ground entirely, still wrapped around his arm. He starts to panic and waves it around frantically as everyone else watches on in amusement.]

Hiccup: "Ew! Eewww! Get it off! Get it off get it off get it off get it off get it off…!"

…

During the "Poor Unfortunate Souls" sequence:

Excellinor: (adding ingredients to the cauldron) "But girls dote and swoon and fawn / On a man who is withdrawn / You've got to hold your tongue when you're a man"

[She tosses in the tongue and the cauldron issues a great deal of fake smoke. Excellinor opens her mouth to continue the song…but then starts hacking and coughing, waving her arms around to clear the water around her. Hiccup covers his mouth to hide his smile.]

Alvin: "Uh…are you all right, Mother?"

Excellinor: "Of course I…(hack!) am, Alvin…I'm perfectly (cough, cough!) fine…I just…(wheeze!) need some oxygen…"

[Laughter from off-screen]

…

After Hiccup is washed up on shore:

[Hiccup admires his new legs as Wodensfang comes swooping in from above.]

Wodensfang: "Well, look what the catfish—"

[Wodensfang overshoots Hiccup's outstretched leg and instead crashes into a rock. He stays pressed up against the stone for several seconds as everyone gasps.]

Wodensfang: (voice slightly muffled) "Who…put…this…here…?"

…

On the beach as Astrid talks to Hiccup:

Astrid: (noticing Toothless) "Is…is that…a Night Fury?"

[Hiccup nods and gestures for her to come closer…then looks sharply around at Toothless as he decides now is the perfect time to regurgitate the half-eaten remains of a fish. As he prepares to spit it out, Hiccup waves his arms wildly. Then, abandoning all attempts to salvage the scene…]

Hiccup: "For Thor's sake, Toothless, no!"

[Too late. The half-eaten fish lands right on Hiccup's new feet. He groans and grimaces in disgust. Astrid laughs.]

Astrid: "Hey, so he can talk after all! That makes everything so much easier."

Hiccup: (running over to the water to rinse his feet) "Ha ha, very funny."

…

As Hiccup is putting on his clothes in the back room of the forge:

Gobber: "All right, lass, I know that look. What's on your mind?"

Astrid: "It's just… For a moment, I thought he might have been the one who saved me the other night."

Gobber: "And how do you know he's not?"

[Astrid opens her mouth to reply, but she is cut off by a huge crash from behind the curtain where Hiccup is changing. She and Gobber both turn to look, eyes widening. There's a moment silence. Then…]

Hiccup: (from behind curtain) "Ow…"

…

Same scene, shortly afterward:

Astrid: "I'm telling you all, he was real! I'm going to find that man! …And I'm going to marry him."

[The others all gape at her. Hiccup emerges from the back room…and his foot gets caught in the curtain. He staggers and performs a magnificent faceplant into the ground.]

Snotlout: (sniggering) "Well that's a great omen."

Hiccup: (sighs) "This really just isn't my day…"

…

On the beach that night, after Astrid departs:

[Hiccup looks out over the ocean, absently stroking Toothless' forehead. Then he opens his mouth and starts to sing]

Hiccup: "If only you could know / The things I long to say / If only I could tell you—"

Director: "CUT! Hiccup, you're mute at this point, remember?"

Hiccup: "Oh…right…sorry…"

…

Same scene, take two:

[Hiccup gazes absently out at the sea as his pre-recorded voice comes from a nearby speaker. He tries to make his facial expression match the lyrics as they are heard, but he'd obviously having a hard time of it.]

Director: Cut! Hiccup, what are you doing?"

Hiccup: (frustrated) "I'm trying to look lovesick and forlorn because I'm think-singing about how Astrid doesn't realize I'm the one who saved her."

Director: (sighs) "Well, you look constipated."

Hiccup: (face reddening) "You try listening to yourself sing and then make your face match the song. It's not as easy as it sounds!"

…

The following day, at the dance in the town square:

[Hiccup spends the entire afternoon trying to get the dancing scene right. Rather than listing each individual take here, I'll ask you to just imagine him tripping, stumbling, messing up the steps, losing track of the beat, stepping on Astrid's foot, knocking heads with her, and colliding with other dancers over and over and over and over and over again.]

Hiccup: (grumbling after the thirtieth take) "Whose bright idea was it to have me dancing? Who wrote that scene? I'm going to set Toothless on them."

…

At the end of the "Kiss the Girl" sequence:

[Hiccup and Astrid, seated atop Toothless as he flies over the ocean, lean in to kiss. Alvin jumps from the water, intending to startle the dragon. But instead of pulling up and throwing his riders, Toothless growls at the scent of eel and once again chases Alvin.]

Alvin: "Oh sweet Odin, not again!" (swims away as fast as he can, screaming)

Hiccup: "No, Toothless, don't—!"

[Toothless dives into the water with Hiccup and Astrid still on his back, quite forgetting that neither of them can breathe underwater. The camera stays on the surface, which is silent for a few moments. Then Toothless reemerges, still carrying the two now-very-wet Vikings. He warbles an apology.]

Hiccup: (sputtering and coughing) "Toothless, if you do that again, I'm going to turn you into a dragon-skin coat…"

…

The next morning, as Wodensfang arrives to wake Hiccup:

[Wodensfang swoops into the back room of the forge]

Wodensfang: "Hiccup! Hiccup, wake up! Wake up! I just—"

[He overshoots again and crashes right into Hiccup's face.]

Hiccup: "Ow! Sweet merciful Freya, ow!" (sits up and covers his nose with his hand, muffling his voice as he sighs) "It's going to be another one of those days, isn't it?"

…

On board the party boat, as Hiccup and Astrid are about to kiss:

Astrid: "It was you all the time!"

Hiccup: "Astrid, I wanted to tell you…" (they lean in to kiss)

Vanick: "Astrid, no!"

[The sun sets, but Hiccup, suddenly forgetting the script entirely, takes Astrid into his arms and kisses her. Astrid's eyes fly open in shock and confusion but she doesn't fight it. For a long moment the two remain locked at the lips. Finally the director smacks his forehead with his palm.]

Director: "CUT! Hiccup, you're not supposed to kiss her yet, remember? You turn back into a merman? Big battle with the Sea Witch? Ring a bell?"

Hiccup: (finally breaking apart from Astrid and chuckling in embarrassment) "Oh, uh…heh heh…right…sorry…got a little…carried away…"

[Astrid looks a little dazed and says nothing.]

…

As Excellinor carries Hiccup to the seafloor and is confronted by Stoick:

Stoick: "Let him go!"

Excellinor: "Not a chance, Stoick. He's mine now." (holds out contract for him to see) "We made a deal."

[Both wait for Hiccup to speak, but when he remains silent they look around at him questioningly. His eyes are bugging out of his skull and his face is bright red, slowly turning blue.]

Excellinor: (suddenly understanding) "Oh dear! I'm so sorry!" (she loosens her tentacle from around him, and Hiccup gasps and inhales deeply) "I didn't realize I was holding you so tight…"

Hiccup: (sounding winded) "It's…all right…just…give me…a moment…let me…catch my…breath…whew…you really…get into…your role, huh?"

Excellinor: "Heh, yeah, you could say that…"

…

As the battle unfolds on the seafloor:

[Astrid and Toothless descend from above. Excellinor clutches at her wounded arm.]

Hiccup: "Astrid! Astrid, look out!"

Excellinor: "Why you little troll!" (to Alvin) "Get them!"

[Astrid and Toothless swim toward the surface, but then Toothless bucks Astrid off and turns to face Alvin. There is a pause.]

Alvin: (gulps) "Oh no…"

[Toothless roars and once again starts chasing him.]

Hiccup: (sighs) "Really? Why do I even bother?"

[Some crewmen get a hold of Toothless. Alvin returns to where Excellinor and Hiccup drift, panting slightly.]

Alvin: "Just kill me now, please…"

Hiccup: "Um…" (looks pointedly at Excellinor's tentacle holding him in place and then at the spear lying on the seafloor) "Be with you in a moment."

…

After the battle, on the ship:

Astrid: "Hiccup! Hiccup, where are you?! Hiccup!"

Gobber: "Astrid… We have to head back to Berk now, lass."

Astrid: "No! We have to find Hiccup! We can't leave him!"

Gobber: "Astrid, we're sinking. We have to go back now before…uh…" (the boat suddenly plunges into the water and disappears, forcing its passengers to tread water while they wait to be picked up) "…never mind…"

…

After the battle, as the whirlpool collapses:

[Hiccup is tossed head-over-fins into the sea as the whirlpool collapses on him. He is supposed to spend only a few seconds recovering before setting off to search for his friends, but he stays where he is, his head in his hands.]

Hiccup: "Ooh…I don't feel so good…"

[Toothless, concerned, croons and swims up to him. Hiccup sways unsteadily.]

Hiccup: "Yeah, I'm fine, bud. There's only two of you now. There were three a few seconds ago…"

…

On the beach, as Hiccup and Astrid are reunited:

Astrid: "Hiccup!"

[Hiccup drags himself half-out of the water, but Astrid suddenly tackles him with a bit more force than he was prepared to deal with.]

Hiccup: "Whoa!"

[They both fall back into the ocean with a splash. Laughter follows as they resurface, red-faced but giggling.]

Hiccup: "I'm happy to see you too."

…

During the "For the Dancing and the Dreaming" sequence:

Hiccup: (dancing as he sings) "But I would bring you rings of gold / I'd even sing you poetry / And I would—" (he messes up the dance and groans) "Great. Here we go again."

[There are about fifteen other outtakes of Hiccup messing up the wedding dance. By this point, no one was surprised.]

…

During the wedding ceremony:

[Hiccup tries to help Astrid over the edge of the boat. For a moment it seems he's doing well. But then his foot snags the rail and they topple into the ship in a tangled heap.]

Astrid: "Ow! Hiccup…"

Hiccup: "Sorry, sorry…are you all right?"

Astrid: (sighs) "Yes, I'm fine."

Snotlout: (sniggering) "Well there's a good sign that the marriage will end in failure…ow!" (Astrid punches him on the arm as she steps out of the boat to try the scene again)

…

Same scene, shortly afterward:

[Hiccup hurls the sword, and to everyone's surprise – including his own – it penetrates the mast and sticks. He's so relieved that he punches the air and whoops in joy. Laughter follows this as the director smacks his forehead with his palm.]

Director: "Yes, very good, Hiccup. But now that you've ruined the shot, you have to get it again."

[Hiccup's celebrations abruptly cease.]

…

Same scene, shortly afterward:

Hiccup: "Now we can walk / Now we can run / Now we can stay all day in the sun"

Astrid: "Just you and me"

Hiccup: "And I can be…"

Wodensfang: (screeching at the top of his lungs) "PART OF YOUR WOOOOOORLD!"

[Everyone covers their ears and glares at the little dragon, who looks suddenly sheepish and grins guiltily.]

Wodensfang: "Uh…heh heh…sorry…"

[Hiccup smacks his forehead with his palm.]

A/N: I hope you enjoyed these! They were so much fun to write. XD

Oh, if you haven't seen them already, I've started a collection of one-shots that are a spin-off of this story. It's called Hiccup's Undersea Adventures, and if you enjoyed Out of the Sea I recommend you check it out. I hope you enjoy them. They're only two right now, but more are on the way, I promise.

I'm still planning out the sequel, Return to the Sea, and I'm getting excited about it. Who knows? You might be seeing it pretty soon.
