Femme Fatales

I do not own how to train your dragon or anything related. This is my first fanfic in a long time to any help or ideas would be nice. Thank you and enjoy.

" This is only the second day in the past 18 years that I've spent around humans" Valka says to Tipsy (Astrid's mother). "Three if you count the day I found my son on the back of a Night Furry. And things have changed a lot in the past 18 years. Not just the peace between vikings and dragons, but the openness of the this younger generation is very... odd. The way Hiccup and Astrid kissed right after the battle would have been considered permiscuious not 18 years ago."

"Well those two have been changing this village, hopefully for the better. Whoops, can you grab that soap" Tipsy says as she losses her grip on the laundry soap. Valka scoops the bar out of the river and tosses it back to Tipsy.

"And yet the whole village laughed and giggled with a mix of pride, envy, and jealousy. So to say the past three days have been unnerving for me would be an understatement."

" I think your just going thru a bit of a culture shock. You may be from this tribe but you have spent along time away from it." Tipsy said trying to console her old friend. " But I'm sure it will get easier with time." Valka nods in understanding. "And I'm glad you could come help me on wash day" trying to change the subject. "usually Astrid helps me but with all of the clean up after the battle, she's been to busy to help with her normal chores."

A little confused Valka says "That seems a little rude, as the woman of the house she should be doing the laundry for the entire Haddock Hall."

"Hahahahaha...oh oh oh Thor...ha ha ha ha..." Tipsy laughs deep and hard as she gasping for air."

Still confused Valka ask "Whats so funny? Does she normally skip out on her duties?"

Tipsy finally catching her breath "Astrid is still a Hofferson. Her and Hiccup have yet to marry. They are not even promised yet. Tho everyone in the village knows that those two have claimed each other just not officially yet."

"WHAT!" Valka blushes "They have been sharing the same room. I I I know that you have been at the haddock hall while your hall was rebuilt. But I thought they were married. All of her stuff was already over there and and were sharing a room." her blush deepens "They should be married before any of this. What ….What if Astrid comes with child?"

" Calm down, they have been sharing a room for almost 2 years now. After the screaming death destroyed the Hofferson hall the last time. And Stoick offered my clan a place to stay. And after it was time to move back in to the Hofferson hall, it just didn't seem right to separate them. Besides the Hofferson was a little cramped with me, my husband, and our 3 sons, at the time, were staying there."

"But this is against tradition."

"Yea but they always have done things their own way." Tipsy smirks "You can't stop them, especially Hiccup. Stoick tried for years to get Hiccup to just be a Viking. But NOOOOO, the harder Stoick tried the more damage Hiccup seemed to do to the village. I remember this one time when Hiccup burnt down half the village in a dragon raid. He seriously did more damage then the dragons."

"It sounds as tho my son was a nuisance" Valka almost in a whisper.

"Well he wasn't called Hiccup the Useless for nothing. But that was before he became Hiccup the Hero, Hiccup the Red Death Slayer, or his favorite Hiccup the Dragon Master." Tipsy said with a smile.

"Red Death?" Valka said confused.

"oh right, It was an alpha dragon, not like Drago's but just as big and a flier. I think it was a boulder class. Well anyways Stoick had lead the entire village to destroy the nest. And forcing toothless to show him the way. Once we get there a huge dragon burst forth from with in the mountain."

"What did Stoick do?" now very interested in the story.

"He had Spitlout lead everyone to the far side of the island. While he and Gobber charged the giant beast like a couple of crazy ants."

"Where was hiccup?"

"I'm just getting there, Now stop interrupting me. Anyways right when Red Death was about smash Stoick and Gobber, Hiccup and all of the other youths come flying in on dragons. And the start blasting the beast. Somehow hiccup managed to get Toothless back, and those two took on the beast all alone." tipsy bears a huge grin. " It was a fight that the gods would have been envious of. That's the day hiccup went from being useless to hero."

"So you are saying that's when hiccup and Astrid got together?"

"aaaahhhh...yea It started around then, but it wasn't too much longer before those two where an item. And everyone was betting on when they would be married. Of course no one has one so far. And everything there seems to be a new development the betting picks back up." laughing to herself.

" I'm so glad you find this funny. I feel like I am being dishonored here." Valka takes a deep breath. "Now I don't mean you any disrespect but it sounds to me that Astrid is just a title chaser. Using her good looks to move up in her status."

Tipsy's expression hardens. "... Valka you were my childhood friend. So I'm only going to over look that this one time. And I think we are finished with the laundry for the day."

Valka looks at the half finished pile of clothes. "Yea I believe we are." she stands up and starts to head for Haddock Hall. Why did I say that. She asks herself. Now I just lost an old friend. But why haven't they married yet? Could there be a problem? It's not like Hiccup couldn't afford the bride's price. So then why not? Does he think the same thing? Is he worried that she's a title chaser? I have to find out. I have to find Hiccup.
