Chapter 1: Trouble in paradise

Summer has finally come to berk after a long harsh winter the dragon riders were now eighteen and one dragon rider is waiting for a certain new chief to final ask a question. Astrid has been given many offers from other suitors in the past but shes turned them all down waiting for Hiccup to ask. Calling her dragon stormfly she jumped on her dragon to find Hiccup.

While on his day off thanks to a'lot of negotiations with the elders Hiccup and Toothless were flying high above the clouds. After soaring through the skys of berk and checking out smaller islands making sure to avoid any traces of the screaming death. Hiccup went home only to find ruff outside his door not looking happy.

"Hey ruff what are you doing hear shouldn't you and tuff be pulling pranks in the name of Loki?" Hiccup asking out of confusion.

Ruffnut laughed "no Tuff and i are taking a break from pranking , besides i wouldn't want to be you right now Astrid's more angry then a monstrous nightmare denied lunch".

Hiccup looked to Toothless in confusion then back to Ruffnut and shrugged his shoulders and looked back to Ruffnut.

Hiccup cleared his throat and said "i doubt shes that mad Ruff i'm sure your just overlooking it".

Ruffnut laughed and said "oh no she already clobbered Snotlout and Tuff showing no sign of mercy; while mumbling something about you so i figured to come tell you".

Hiccup gulped growing in fear more then what he felt facing the green death. Looking to toothless "well bud i guess we better dig that old shield out i might need it again after all".

Toothless shook his head in agreement because with living with the hairy hooligans taught him one thing an angry axe swinging Astrid was something to be afraid of. Ruffnut stretched then walked away after saying bye to Hiccup to go check on Tuffnut.

Hiccup went inside and walked over to the fire place and saw the painting of his father and said "dad of all the times i wish you were here this is definitely one of them". Hiccup waved his hand and toothless fallowed Hiccup upstaires and they went to bed. That night Hiccup barley slept curious to know how he made Astrid so angry.

The morning came quickly and Hiccup went to the great hall to do some work as Chief. While Astrid on the other hand still upset over Hiccup not asking her the question she longed for went to the woods. She made her way to where she would throw her axe and with each throw it made her feel a bit better but not completely ; suddenly she heard someone singing a song which Astrid enjoyed. She searched through the woods and as her search brought her deeper into the woods the voice was getting louder.

She came to a clearing and saw Valka singing while dancing as if someone was the with her. She walked closer and as Valka finished she calmly took a breath. Valka opened her eyes and saw Astrid standing there and became startled.

Astrid raised both her hands seeing she startled Valka but didn't mean to and said " I am so sorry i scared you valka i was just relieving some stress with axe throwing and i heard you singing ; i was curious about who was singing so beautifully".

Valka laughed "its ok Astrid i usually dont sing or dance like that anymore ever since what happened with Stoick".

Astrid remembered it all to well it wasn't that long before Stoick the vast had gave his life to save his son's, Hiccup was so hurt that day he took the loss quiet hard. Astrid looked to Valka and said "when you were dancing it was Stoick that you were dancing with wasn't".

Valka looked to Astrid and said "yes when i am alone i would sing that song and dance like how i did with Stoick it helps".

Valka smiled and said "Now whats the matter Astrid dear whats causing you such distress". Valka enjoyed talking to Astrid after seeing her and Hiccup she always considered Astrid to be like a daughter.

Astrid sighed and said "It's Hiccup i'm seeing these village girls run up to him , it's driving me crazy cause he and i kissed a few times. since he's become Chief a hero and a dragon master the other girls keep trying to cling to him". Valka smiled remembering Stoick back in the days when he had taken leadership.

She looked to Astrid and said "Dear Astrid please don't fret even though i haven't seen Hiccup grow up i can see hes like Stoick in a'lot of ways , especially when it comes to the one he loves only ever had eyes for one girl". Astrid began to smile and Valka started to hum her favorite song as she thought of Stoick.

Astrid looked to Valka and said "whats that song Valka if you don't me asking?".

Valka stopped and said "it's an old favorite of Stoick's and mine , it was our song we shared".

Astrid liked that idea and said "Ummm Valka will you teach me that song i really like it if its not to much trouble".

Valka smiled "sure thing dear who knows maybe one day you and Hiccup will share it" she said with a smile.

Astrid laughed "no i don't think all the beserker's and outcast's in world could get Hiccup to sing".
