The thieves rode in on dragons. They stopped in a cave and looked around. Their leader, Snotlout (no relation to the guard Spitelout) got off his dragon as the thieves threw their loot on the ground.

"This night has been quite… rewarding…" One said

"No thanks to our leader Snotlout." Another said as Snotlout walked to the loot, stepping on gold coin, tripping into some vases.

"Well, it only looked expensive." Snotlout said

In the background, no one noticed a blue Nadder tail pick pocket one of the men

"Is this a haul or what, my surly band of Thieving skunks?" Said Snotlout, picking up an Inferno

"How is it you get the Inferno?" a thief asked

"Why, this is my… leader bonus." Said Snotlout "This, and that and that," Snotlout pointed to two chest "are my beloved leader bonus."

"And what is out reward?" another asked

Again, in the background, no one noticed a blonde girl fly over them on a magic carpet "Hmm? Here you go. Good work, boys. Very successful raid." Snotlout said throwing them a small bag of coins.

Many of the thieves pulled out their swords, when they noticed a chest moving.

"The chest! It moves!"

"It cannot be!"

"What is holding it up?"

"GHOSTS!" Screamed Snotlout, jumping into a man's arms

One of the men walked around the rock and saw a dragon, not one of their dragons…

She squawked and Snotlout jumped out of the man's arms and threw a rope over the dragon.

"Let her go Snotlout!" A girl screamed

The group of twenty thieves looked up and saw a blond haired girl standing on a rock. Her arms were on her hips and had a death look on her face.

"Who are you?" Snotlout asked

"My friends call me Ast… you can call me Astrid." Astrid jumped onto a rope and swung around the cave. She kicked some guys away and jumped, flipping in the air and landing on her feet. She ran behind a rock and the men lost her

"Hurt her! What? Where did he go?" Astrid was stealing all their loot, stuffing as much as she could on Carpet. "There! She has our loot! Don't let her get away!"

"She must not escape!" The men were chasing after her. "We've got her now." After getting most of the loot, she jumped onto Carpet and took off, Stormfly not fair behind her. "A flying carpet?"

"SHE'S GOT A FLYING CARPET!" Screamed Snotlout

"Nice catch Carpet…" said Astrid, looking at her haul. Astrid flew over the men, who were poking their swords in the arm. Stormfly turned and blew a raspberry at them. Astrid laughed and started ending for the exit. On her way out, she picked up the last bag and threw it on Stormfly. Snotlout was fuming. He jumped up and grabbed Carpet's tassels.

"This was a very bad mistake!" he screamed and Astrid flew Carpet. Astrid turned and smirked at the sight of a shiny thing in his belt line. She grabbed it and Snotlout gasped "That's mine!" He let go of Carpet, then started to fall to the ground.

Astrid put the Inferno in one of the bags and smiled at Stormfly "Next stop… Berk!"

In an island not too far from Berk, a bump in the ground was moving.

Shylock popped out of the ground and spit out dirt. "Finally! This is terrific! I have dirt in places I didn't know I had!" Shylock pulled himself out of the dirt, half of his body still inside a lamp.

"Spare us your complaining, Shylock!" Shouted Camicazi

"Are we out yet?"

"'Are we out yet? Are we out yet?' Yes we're out! No thanks to you and Princess. If it weren't for me, you'd be stuck down there forever!" Shylock was hopping around trying to get out, but was failing.

"Shylock!" Shouted Camicazi, making Shylock shoot out of the lamp

"You will now release us so that I may have my revenge." Alvin said evilly.

"Yeah, yeah, when I'm good and ready."

"DO AS I SAY YOU WORTHLESS PIPSQUEAK!" Screamed Alvin

"You know something? You're nothing without me."

"What?" asked Camicazi

"Who comes up with all the good ideas!? ME! Who does all the work!? ME!" Yelled Shylock

"If it weren't for me, you'd still be a dumb reptile squawking for FOOD!" Yelled back Alvin

Shylock rolled his eyes and glared at the lamp "That's it! I've had it! I hate to be dramatic, but it's time for me to fly the coop." Shylock fluttered his wings and Alvin shot magic from inside the lamp. "Terrific! Fine! I'm drawin' the line, before I wind up in a Terror stew!" Shylock flew over to the lamp and picked it up in his talons. "I was a fool to let you run the show, I'm cuttin' ya loose, pal! Look out below!" Shylock dropped the lamp inside a well, smirking at the screams of Camicazi and Alvin "Arrividerci! C'est la vie! Hope all goes well! I'm lookin' out for me!" Shylock started to fly away.

"Ah, Berk. My least favorite place." Said Shylock as he flew into the village. Just a dragon ready to shed his skin… and I'm the one holding the tweezers! I'll be runnin' this village inside a week!" Shylock sat by a yak, who stared at him "What's your problem!?" shouted Shylock "You don't have faith that I can do it?!" Shylock screamed "Okay, I'm little, been playin' second fiddle. And I don't get no respect. I turn the other cheek, but this busted scale is that only thanks that I get!" Shylock started to fly through the market, stilling singing his song "I never found a friend that I can trust," Shylock started to eat the grapes that where on a table. Mr. Thorston turned around and gasped. "They promise caviar and leave me eating dust!" A sword nearly missed him and Shylock flew away quickly "That's some reward for loyalty! From here on in, I'm lookin' out for me! Ohh, I don't need nobody else! I'll never fail! I'll cover my own tail! I can take care of myself! You know, it just don't pay to give a hoot. I'm givin' all my heart, what do I get? Da boot! I'm through wit' dat. I'm flappin' free. From here on in, I'm looking out for me!" Finished Shylock, as he flew away, towards the Chief's place.

Astrid flew back into Berk a little before dawn the next morning. She grabbed one of the bags full of gold and Stormfly looked at her like What are you doing?

Astrid smiled at her, dipping her hand in the bag, then throwing a handful of coins and jewels out on the street. Stormfly screeched in horror

"Stormfly!" Yelled Astrid "We're not the ones who need this money." She finished her statement by throwing another handful out.

"Gods bless you!" someone shouted

Astrid threw a handful down, and it landed in front of a single mother of three. She gasped "A miracle!"

As Astrid flew over Berk, people were shouting "Rain on me!" "Ohh!" "gods bless you child!"

Stormfly still looked upset.

"Don't worry Storm. I'm not throwing everything." This made the dragon perk up. Astrid help up the Inferno "This is for Hiccup." Astrid laughed at her dragon's face.

Astrid flew onto Hiccup's balcony and heard growling. She saw Hiccup's Night Fury, Toothless, about to pounce on her.

"Whoa!" She gasped. Astrid got off of Carpet and walked backwards "Easy Toothless. You know… Astrid?" Toothless pounced and jumped on her. She gasped in pain as Toothless started to lick her. "Gah! I'm happy to see you to bud…" Astrid pushed Toothless off of her and sat up. She turned towards Carpet and Stormfly. She brushed off the dust from her rag dress "Ahem. How do I look?" she asked

"I think you look beautiful." She heard Hiccup whispered

Astrid turned around and smiled at her boyfriend "Hiccup." She walked up to him and hugged him tightly. Hiccup held onto her and smiled into her hair

"Where were you? I missed you." Hiccup kissed her hair

Astrid pushed herself away, arms still around his waist, and pulled out the Inferno "I had to pick up a few things…" She smirked "This is for you."

Hiccup took it and looked it over "Oh my gods! This is amazing! The medal work! It must have cost you a fortune."

"Oh it was steal." She winked at Stormfly and Carpet

Hiccup pulled her in and kissed her. Astrid smiled under the kiss. Hiccup pulled away and pushed her bangs out of her face. They walked into Hiccup's room, where he sat the Inferno on his desk. "Dad wants you to joins us for dinner tonight." He said sitting on his desk chair. "He has to make soon announcement."

"And he wants me there?" Astrid asked, grabbing Hiccup's hands

"It's about you." Hiccup squeezed her hands

"… am I in trouble?" she asked

Hiccup laughed "Let's just say… this is a dinner you don't want to miss." Hiccup winked

"Hiccup, what's going on?"

"I promised dad, I wouldn't spoil his surprise." Stated Hiccup, standing up and wrapping Astrid in his arms. "You've made… quite an impression, you know."

Astrid ran her hands threw his hair "So, I'm not in trouble?"

"Of course not! You defeated Alvin, saved Berk, and recused an heir. Astrid, you're a hero." Hiccup touched her forehead with his
"I guess… that's me! Ready for anything!"

All the sudden, there was a commotion. Stormfly, with the Inferno in her mouth, was being chased by Toothless.

"Stormfly!" Shouted Astrid

Stormfly flew past Toothless, who couldn't fly without Hiccup, blowing a raspberry at him, then flew into a wall. She landed on top of Astrid.

"Again!" She wheezed

Hiccup was laughing, and helped Astrid up "You may want to change before dinner, though."

Astrid looked down and saw dirt and dust all over her, then glared at Stormfly, who spit out the Inferno.
