Ok guys I just got bored and had no idea for my next chapter in my other story "The Reason He Left" So I decided to write... or start writing a modern story on Hiccup and Astrid because I think they are awesome together :) and I am totally excepting ideas for Chapter 9 in my other story so... ya here goes nothin! And I just realised, my chapters are 8x shorter than most other chapters, so I will try to work on that.

~~~Berk High School~~~

Once again, Hiccup was being picked on by the 'king' of Berk High. His cousin Snotlout. Or as Hiccup liked to call him, Snotbrain. Snotlout was telling Hiccup about how he was the best football player in Berk, and truthfully, Hiccup didn't give a shit. It was all lies. All Snotlout ever did was sit on the bleachers and talk about the tattoo on his ass. Again, lie. Snotlout wasn't old enough to get a tattoo and if his dad found out, you would never see Snotlout again. He was a lying, thieving, fool. Hiccup on the other hand just stuck to his own business, and stayed out of trouble. Good plan, for Hiccup. The only thing on his mind was getting home, doing his homework and calling Astrid. He finally got her number. Although they were just friends, Hiccup had some pretty naughty dreams. He was finally able to get her number. How? He did something nobody would have ever thought of Hiccup doing.

~~~Flashback~~~

I heard Fishlegs sigh through the phone. I was at Wall-mart "Sorry if I miss spelled guys :)" shopping for my mom but I was currently talking to my best friend Fishlegs about figuring out a way to get Astrid to go out with me. "Look Hiccup I know you like Astrid but doing a sport? Not something the Hiccup I know would do." I grabbed a gallon of milk, threw it in the basket and made my way to the check-out isle "Look man I need to do something to catch her eye. If I start being something she sees everyday my chances will go from 10% to 50%." "I don't know, basketball doesn't really sound like something a guy like you would enjoy." "Well im signing up for try outs weather you like it or not now I gotta go, bye." I didn't even give him time to say bye. Fishlegs was making me mad. Or course, he was just trying to keep me from fucking up again. I eventually wound up at the park after going home with nothing to do. Then I saw Astrid walking by. I was confused. Why was a rich girl like her doing at he park? She was busy, a lot. She had cheer-leading practice, she had chores to do for her parents, and she had studying to do. She looked over at me and sat down next to me. "Hey Hiccup what are you up to?" She was talking to me. For the first time since second grade she was talking to me. "Oh, uh n-nothing what are you doing?" That sounded a lot ruder than I expected. "Oh nothin much just getting a little exercise." We started talking about chemical and things like that when she did the unexpected. She got out a notepad, wrote down something lightning fast, tore the paper and put it next to me. Then she leaned over and kissed me on the cheek. She immediately stood up and ran off. I picked up the paper and what was written surprised me. She had written her number down. On the bottom of the paper it said "call me xoxo" I guess I really was lucky.

~~~End Flashback Hiccup's house~~~

That happened yesterday and he never got the chance to call her. He was lying on his back, up in his room on the second floor of the small, yet big house. Staring at the ceiling with nothing to do. Of course, he could call Astrid, but what would he say? He didn't have anything going on in his life, except for trying to figure out a way to date Astrid. He eventually decided he would call her, being no other options. The phone rang a few times before Astrid picked up. Then the conversation started. "Hello?" "A-Astrid?" "Yeah?" "Hey, it's Hiccup, you know from the park..." "Oh yeah I remember you, but why didn't you call me yesterday?" Astrid was at her best friend Ruffnut's house, watching a movie in her room. She lowered and covered the phone so Hiccup wouldn't hear her say she had to go. "So, is there a reason you called?" What? She told him to call her. This was getting weird, fast. "Um... you told me to call you." "Oh yeah I wanted to ask what you were doing after school tomorrow." "Oh um, I have basketball try outs after school so... ya." "I didn't know you played basketball." "Uh yeah I do, and I thought since I play, I should join the team?" It came out more like a question than an answer. "Oh ok then I guess I'll see ya tomorrow." "Ya, bye." "Bye." That was weird. But now his chances of claiming her as his girl were from 50% to about 70% now that he had her number, and she knew he played a sport. Maybe he was just lucky.

~~~Berk High Gym... Basketball try-outs~~~

Hiccup was nervous, really nervous. What if he didn't make the team? What if he sucked at this? It wasn't likely, seeing as how everyone on the team sucked anyway. He was standing by the bleachers, waiting for the coach to show up. "Maybe I should just go home." "And why would you do that?" He jumped. Far. He then quickly whipped around to see who the hell almost made him piss his pants. Astrid was sitting there on the bleachers, in her cheer leading outfit. Hiccup got some dirty thoughts in his head when he saw her in that. The skirt was short, really short. Astrid in a tiny blue and white skirt pretty much turned him on. He walked up and sat down next to her, not close enough to say he was making a move, but close enough to say he wanted to sit by her. "Astrid, what are you doing here, don't you have cheer-leading practice?" She crossed her arms over her chest, slight pushing her breasts up in the process. "Hiccup, you are way more important than my cheer-leading carrier." He really was lucky. Astrid being the head of the cheer-leading team made her queen of the school, and if he was more important than that title, he was dreaming. "U-Um can you pinch me?" "Why?" "Because I think I'm dreaming." After try outs, he was tired. Apparently the coach doesn't go easy. "Oh man I suck at this." "What are you talking about? You were great!" "No I wasn't all I could think about was..." Shit. He couldn't tell her all he could think about shoving her up against a wall and fucking her brains out! "What?" "I wasn't focused. that's all." "Hiccup I am 99 percent sure you are going to make the team." Ugh... arguing with Astrid was hard. Speaking of hard...

~~~School Corridor~~~

Hiccup slammed his locker shut and locked it. He heaved his pack over his shoulder but was shoved against his locker by none other than Snotlout. Damn it. He didn't have time for this. Just as Snotlout was about to speak, Astrid interfered. She was telling him to leave Hiccup alone. Snotlout turned, letting Hiccup go, but trapping a helpless Astrid in-between his arms. Picture Astrid with her back against a locker, with Snotlout having his arms on ether side of her. "And just what do you think you're doing, missy?" Sheesh this guy is mean. "Well, before you shoved him against a locker, I was going to ask my boyfriend to walk me home." Wow. What was happening before him was unbelievable. Astrid just called him her boyfriend. She slipped out from under Snotlout's arm and walked over to Hiccup only to grab his arm and ask him to walk her home. Snotlout was MAD. He had his eyes on Astrid for a while, and now his pipsqueak cousin come along and steal her? Hell no. Just as Snotlout was about to punch Hiccup right in the face, the principle walked up next to them and whispered something in Snotlout's ear. Snotlout started backing away from Hiccup but he did that motion with two fingers, and the eyes... you know, the one where they would normally say something like "I'm watching you" while they did it.

~~~In Front of Astrid's House~~~

Astrid and I were walking side by side, with astrid leaning her head on my shoulder and her arms wrapped around my arms. Today was really a good day. We stopped in front of Astrid's house and she started to walk up the steps. Just as she reached for the door handle, I shout after her. "What?" "Did you really mean that?" "What?" "About the... boyfriend thing." "Oh yeah I almost forgot, can you pick me up to go to school tomorrow?" She said as she walked down the steps. "Yeah I guess but-" She shut him up by leaning up and giving him a sweet, passionate kiss on the lips, accompanied my a soft smile. "Yes, I did mean what I said at school, see you tomorrow!" Then she went inside. I walked back to my house and jumped on my bed, the feeling of soft animal fur covers will never get old. I started to dose off into a nice sleep. I dreamt about Astrid, as always, only this time it was different. It was our wedding night, instead of some random wall. She looked happy and pleased, instead of shocked and worried. It was just a better dream than normal. Of course, my normal 'raping the hell out of Astrid' dreams are awesome in my perspective, this was just much better. I guess I'm just lucky.
