Astrid sat at a piano. Hiccup came in. "I have to tell her," he thought, then shook the idea out of his head. "It's not the right time." Then he walked up behind Astrid to see musical notes in front of her.
"I didn't know you could play piano," Hiccup said, kind of taking Astrid off guard. She whirled around and locked eyes with Hiccup, or at least tried to. Before he could get a good glare in, he turned away from her.
"Well, not really well, but I do know some," Astrid said. Hiccup sat down next to her. She turned her head away from him.
He saw the title of the song "Sticks and Stones". "What is this?" Hiccup asked, looking at the music that he could not make out.
"Just a little thing I'm working on," Astrid said. She didn't say anything else. There was an awkward silence. She started playing, never taking her eyes off of the piano. Hiccup looked up at her.
She started singing. Again, never looking up from the piano.
Eyes open wide, blinded by the sun now Orange and white, dark red, green and yellow Rainbow colors! Do not hide, see the view! Step aside, go through! Against the light, too strong, blow a fuse now Everything bright, new songs, burning shoes The look in your eyes! Break our bones into half! Scream and shout and do laugh! Let yourself... go Let yourself... go
Stay close to me Count one, two and three Up in through your sleeves Bursting through the seams Open your eyes and see - You see
Hiccup was awestuck. She had a beautiful singing voice. He stared mystically at her. Then she started speaking in their native tounge. Then he relized that it was the same thing.
Inn um ermar, upp hryggjars'luna Yfir sk'g, fl''ir ni'ur brekkuna Allt upp ' loft! 'g mun aldrei gleyma! 'v' 'g mun aldrei! Hleypur um, r'fur, leysir fl'kjurnar (Upp me' r'tum) me' blik ' augum! St'rmerki, undur, brj'tum bein ' sundur' Let yourself... go Let yourself... go
Hiccup took the music and started singing along. Astrid looked up at him. He didn't have that bad of a singing voice himself.
Stay close to me Count one, two and three Up in through your sleeves Bursting through the seams Open your eyes and see Stay close to me Count one, two and three Up in through your sleeves Right beyond the trees Show you how you'll be Stay close to me Count one, two and three Up in through your sleeves Bursting through the seams Open your eyes and see - You see Stay close to me : Count one, two, three Up in your sleeves : You're right beyond trees Stay close to me : Count one, two, three Up in your sleeves : Burst through the seams Open your eyes and see You see - You see
When they where finished, they where both staring each other in the eyes. Hiccup heisted for a second and Astrid was bewildered by this. Then Hiccup jumped up. \
"That's it, I have to show you!" Hiccup said as he put the music down.
"Show me what?" Astrid said. But Hiccup was already out of the cot.
"Come and you'll see," Hiccup called. Astrid rolled her eyes and followed the Viking out the cot and led her who knows where.
