Authors note: For those of you about to read, this is not for Hiccstrid supporters. I already shocked readers with my take on Snotstrid and once again I intend to do so again, only this time with Ruffstrid, and mostly I have seen this done in one shots alone. So if you are up for this great, if not and are still curious by all means join for the ride. However to avoid what happened last time please avoid reviewing hoping the writer will change his heart and turn things around in favor of your favorite pairing, or talking about walking away. I just wanted to take this time to get this across, now as far as the story goes it will be set modern day and certain things will transpire to push these two strong willed girls to each other, if you are still here after reading this or having read the premise here comes the title, boom.

FORBIDDEN LOVE

CH.1: Viking in my backyard

Astrid had just graduated high school and had the entire summer to herself. For an 18 year old that was a lot on their plate, from laying around to hitting the beach. Astrid's father however had different plans in mind. Standing in her kitchen with her father she looked over the plans for the backyard. "Dad, are you sure about a pool in the backyard?"

"Astrid why waste money on gas to go to the beach when we could have a pool in our very own backyard? Think about it, say you are hot and want to go for a swim, all you need is your swim suit and boom your all set."

"Dad you can't surf in a pool. Plus you are still spending money having professionals make the pool-."

"Au contraire daughter of mine, for I will be making the pool…myself." His blue eyes shined with excitement and he rolled out a new plan.

"Dad…don't you think it would be better if the professionals handled this? I mean no offense but if something went wrong-."

"Astrid, please a little respect for thy father. I happen to work in construction, and know a little about making a pool from some clients of mine. Think about it…we could make it a father daughter project." He rubbed his hands and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Yeah, about that, I sort of had plans this summer…" Astrid eased her father's hand off her shoulder as she walked into the backyard. Of course the person her father was would never let this go, she knew this much so she took a seat in the lawn chair and settled in for the talk.

"Astrid, you and I don't hang as we once did. You go to school then when you come back you are either up in your room gabbing to your friends or out partying. I feel like I'm losing you…" He began to sniff as he had his back to her.

Astrid folded her arms trying to hold out. He had been doing this for years, when it came to family game night or when a movie came on he wanted to watch with her. She loved her father dearly, but, after graduating high school all she had left before school again was summer. She and Hiccup were going to hang out and she had some applications to fill out if she was going to get her dream car before semester began.

"You know, I know I'm not your mother, and I never intend to replace her or her memories, and if she were alive…I know she'd want our family to be as close as when she was around. But you've changed, I get that. I just wanted one last father daughter project before you went off to college-."

"Ugh, fine, I suppose I can put off some of my plans to help you out." Astrid really needed to be stronger, but, this was her father.

"Oh you will…I truly appreciate it. There is a shovel nearby, you can begin today." He turned around and headed back into the house.

"Wait…what?" Astrid rose up and saw the screen door close behind him. Placing her hands on her hips she felt like she had been duped…by her father…again. Heaving a frustrated sigh she walked over to the shovel and picked it up.

Today she wore her red shirt over a skirt with leggings underneath. Her blond bangs hung before her left most portion of her face and her eyes were much similar to her father. She had a slender build to her, much like a cheerleader. To many she seemed scary with her friendly punches and competitive nature, still to those who knew her that was just her way of showing she was considerate and caring.

Her next door neighbor was Hiccup, a kind boy who she knew most of her life. When they had first met he was shy and insecure, now he had come into his own and was her best friend. Picking up her shovel she saw him poke his head over the fence, his green eyes peering at her from the overgrown brown hair atop his head.

"Hey Astrid…digging for gold again huh?" Hiccup wore a crooked grin as he saw her push the shovel into the dirt.

Astrid laughed lightly remembering their days of playing pirates. "Nope, no treasure today…but in the future a pool perhaps."

"I see your father duped you again, man that guy is a genius. My father just stands there until the message sinks through, if that is not enough he picks me up and takes me to the problem. Today it is cleaning up the dog's mess." Heaving a sigh he picked up some dog stuff and placed it in a bag.

"So, your dog Toothless is really making a mess of things huh?" Astrid quipped. Throwing the dirt aside she could feel the summer heat already pushing down on her.

"He chewed my dad's favorite slippers then drank from the toilet…left quite a mess after he threw up. The pup has so much energy my dad keeps saying, 'Hiccup…if that pup of yours goes in the house one more time…consider finding him a new home', and to my father's good word…I believe it."

"I'd rather be picking up dog stuff then digging up our backyard…and no I was not being serious. My dad feels like we're drifting apart…" She scooped out more dirt and began taking out her frustration on the dirt.

"Well…are you?" Hiccup asked holding his nose as he found more dog stuff.

"No, I mean sort of, it is complicated. I miss mom, but, I have my dad so I shouldn't be complaining. And yet…mom allowed me to have some privacy, my dad feels he should be in every aspect of my life…even stuff that rightly does not concern him. He drives me mad sometimes…"

"He is just being a father…don't hold it against him," Hiccup advised as he nearly barfed finding the next mess left behind.

"Oh yeah, well, when your father wants you to read from your diary or your father wants to go with you when you try on a bra…then you come saying that to me." She shook her head and as she brought the shovel down she tilted her head to the side.

"If I ever go trying on a bra…you have my permission to send me to the loony bin." Hiccup laughed then after a bit didn't hear a quip or retort. "Astrid…you there?"

"Huh…yeah…I mean…I think I found something." Astrid began to dig further down and saw an ice cube, or at least the top of it. Her curiosity began eating her up and as she dug further down she was beginning to see someone inside.

"Hold on…I'll be right there." Hiccup took the bag to the trash and went around to the gate. Opening it up he walked over and took a few steps back. "Whoa…do you know what that is?"

Astrid couldn't find the words to say it, nor the courage to. Stumbling back she couldn't take her eyes off what was inside. Inside her backyard was a frozen Viking, not just any frozen Viking…but a beautiful one at that. Long golden blond hair done up in two ponytails and soft lips. She seemed about to hunt something when she was frozen, and those eyes…they just held certain ferocity and yet a tenacity to hold a person spellbound.

"Earth to Astrid…this is huge! Think of the fame and money you can get for a find like this. Your dad won't ever have to work a day in his life again, this project could be shared between you two to where you never have to do another pool project again." He placed a hand on her shoulder and smiled.

"Y-Yeah…fame and all," Astrid walked over and placed her hand on the slab of ice, her face inches from it. "Who are you?"

Authors note: Astrid has found a fine in her backyard, quite a turn out for a slow summer beginning. However the female Viking in her backyard holds a certain interest to Astrid, one that will awaken her to things she never thought she'd feel before. How will she keep this from her father? Hope you enjoy.
