A/N: Yes, this is probably very cliche - a story about the six viking teens as kids, lol. They're the age they would be in the books. So, about ten. I've had this idea for a while and finally took the chance to write it out, which probably means it's not as good as it might have been.

Anyways, this is [though one day late] in dedication to the anniversary of How to Train Your Dragon. One year ago [yesterday], it made its way into theaters and into our hearts. ..How's that for a cheesy line? ;P

I do not own HTTYD or any of its characters.

"Hey, Astrid," Hiccup said, running up to her and the group of kids she was with, interrupting their conversation.

She turned around. "Oh, hi."

She vaguely heard her fellow friends whisper "Useless" under their breath, through quiet chuckles. She almost considered adding the word to the end of her last sentence.

Hiccup didn't seem to notice. "I wanted to give you these." He said, bringing forward a bundle of white daisy flowers that Astrid could've sworn she had never seen anywhere on the island before.

"I found them while I was troll hunting and-"

Quiet hysterics erupted from the crowd piled up behind Astrid. Hiccup face turned a dark shade of red when he realized he shouldn't have brought that particular bit up.

"Ooh, flowers," Ruffnut drawled, nudging her friend and sticking out her tongue.

"I thought girls liked flowers," Tuffnut said.

"Well, we don't."

"Especially not from 'Useless the Viking'," Snotlout added, receiving a fit of giggles from everyone but Hiccup, Astrid and Fishlegs. Snotlout patted his friend on the back, causing Fish to force out a choked laugh.

Astrid's fingers curled tightly around the stems of the flowers. "Thanks."

"Yeah, thanks a lot," Snotlout cut in, mockingly. "Thanks for the laughs, cousin."

"Right," Hiccup nodded at him. "Well, I'll see you all later." Quickly, he turned around and ran off, tripping over a tree root in the process.

More laughs.

"Not if we can help it," His older cousin muttered in reply to Hiccup's last words.

"Ah, what would we do without him?" Tuffnut cackled, leaning on his sister.

"The real question is, what are you gonna do with those?" Ruffnut asked, staring at the flowers still clutched tightly in Astrid's little hands. She wore a disgusted expression, but there was a tiny glint of jealousy in her eyes.

"I wouldn't hold on to them too long," Fishlegs spoke up, nervously. "There could be a b-bee hiding away in there, somewhere."

"Yeah," Tuffnut said. "They were from 'Hiccup the Useless', after all."

"Right," Astrid agreed. And, hesitating for only a moment, she dropped the flowers and wiped her hands on her skirt. "Let's go, guys."

The group walked off.

Meanwhile, hiding back in the woods, Hiccup's face fell immediately after Astrid had dropped his gift to the ground. He sighed, stood up and kicked a random rock, when suddenly, the said girl returned to the spot she and her friends had just left.

Quickly, the young russet-haired boy hid away again. He tilted his head in curiosity, when he noticed Astrid lean down and pick up the flowers she had just recently tossed there. She dusted them off, inhaled their scent and smiled. Then, making a quick glance around, she stuffed them into the waistband of her skirt, before running back to her group of friends. "Hey, guys – wait up!"

Hiccup rose from the ground and smiled. "Smooth, Haddock," He grinned, strutting back towards the village. "Very – oof!" The boy tripped over the same tree root as earlier and fell flat on his face. "Ow."
