Suprise! There's a sequel! I did say it could be possible I would make a new chapter but this isn't really a new chapter. Time to explain: A few days ago I started re-reading all my fanfictions and all the reviews I got on them. While going through the reviews on this story I noticed I had a review from a reader who asked if Astrid would be jealous of the time Hiccup spent with Merida. I had replied on that by saying that would happen. However, because of a major writer's block, I rushed through this story without letting that happen. So far I have written two stories. Each of them was a big adventure, as I prefer sticking close to the feeling the series give me. The feeling of excitement or astonishment. I have never written a story that includes lots of Hiccstrid even though I am a shipper of Hiccstrid. I'm no supporter of the heavily romantic stories but I do like the little hiccstrid stories. That's why I decided to give the idea I mentioned earlier a try. And instead of just putting it into my story like I said I would, this will be a sequel. It will be a rather small sequel. Think of it as a short, like the gift of the nightfury, dawn of the dragon racers or the legend of the boneknapper. It will be set after Best friends for life, just a little bit after. In case you're not interested in the 'best friends for life' story: I wrote a summary before starting the story which is below this part. So this here is for my fellow Hiccstrid shippers! This is once again a crossover between HTTYD and Brave.
Summary of 'Best friends for life'
In the last story, we met Merida. The Scottish princess of clan Dunbroch, daughter of The bear king. A.k.a. King Fergus of Dunbroch. Hiccup and Merida were best friends as kids but when Stoick and Fergus suddenly fought they were split. 10 years later (after race tot he edge season 5 and slightly after Brave) Merida and Hiccup meet again. They get caught by dragon hunters while Astrid and the others escape and get stranded. Hiccup and Merida manage to escape from Krogan and his dragon hunters while the rest of the gang manages to get off the island and get back their dragons. They all manage to stop a war from happening just in time. Hiccup and Merida found out Stoick and Fergus were fighting because both of them declared each other's obsessions unhealthy. (Fergus's obsession with Mor'du and Stoick's obsession with taking revenge on the dragons for taking his wife from him.) In the end, Merida and Hiccup manage to convince them that they should stop fighting and forget about it. And that was it. The feud was over and they lived happily ever after…or did they?...
Description of 'Don't forget about me':
The feud is over. Hiccup and Merida are finally able to catch up on their lost childhood. But how much of the day is left for someone else? Astrid has been Hiccup's best friend after Toothless ever since the battle with the red death. She's even his betrothed. Now Hiccup spends more and more time with Merida and hardly any time with Astrid. Will she stay calm or will the jealousy overtake her?
Okay, hope that sounds nice. One final warning: THIS IS NOT A MERICCUP STORY! Astrid and Hiccup will bet he only couples in this story, aside from Elinor and Fergus and maybe a little Heather and Fishlegs if I feel like it. Without further ado, let's get into the story. (I apologize for the long start.)
I DO NOT OWN HTTYD!
Don't forget about me
Chapter 1: A brand new Childhood
The day was bright. Brighter than he had ever seen. Even though it was cold and Berk was covered in snow, the village of Berk seemed a whole lot happier than it used to be. The residents of Berk had gotten new guests this week. Once again a former enemy was a guest on their island, just like the dragons had been, and they sure brought a lot of cheer with them.
That cheer was exactly what they needed now Snoggletog was getting closer and closer. Meanwhile, in the great hall, Stoick and Fergus were drinking mead and talking like they used to. Queen Elinor was keeping her young, triplet sons under control, Or at least she tried, and the twins were staring mischievously at the triplets who seemed like great partners in crime.
Fishlegs was reading a book while Meatlug sat next to him. Snotlout was eating next to Fishlegs and Astrid was sitting opposite of Snotlout, while keeping a careful eye on the twins to make sure they wouldn't do something stupid.
A young Viking and a young princess were missing from this great party. That didn't mean they didn't have just as much fun, however.
Miles away, just off Raven Point, Hiccup was sitting on the edge of a cliff, which was overlooking the ocean. The view was beautiful and the sun was starting to go down slightly.
Sitting in the snow was cold, but Hiccup didn't care. It was nice to sit there, just watching the sun go down. Toothless was laying down next to Hiccup.
What Hiccup didn't know was that a mischievous redhead was approaching him slowly, carrying as much snow as her arms could carry. The nightfury looked at her, knowing exactly what she was planning.
Merida held a finger in front of her mouth, signing him that he had to be quiet and then pointed at Hiccup. The nightfury understood the sign immediately. Toothless grinned, or at least what seemed to be a dragon's version of a grin.
Merida tiptoed closer to Hiccup. When she was close enough she dropped the bunch of snow right on his head.
Hiccup yelped in surprise and jumped up, shaking the snow off his head. He turned around to see the Scottish princess laughing. She made her trademark chortle sound in the meantime which Hiccup had come to love.
He crouched down, grabbing a bunch of snow from the ground and just dropped it on Merida's head. The snow slid down from her hair. Soon enough Merida was chasing Hiccup, while he was just laughing.
In the meantime, Merida was yelling at Hiccup. She was throwing snowballs at him. ''YOU'RE GONNA PAY HADDOCK!''
A few minutes later they were just sitting in the snow, panting heavily and both covered in snow. The sky was dark, the stars were shining brightly in the cloudless sky and the moonlight got reflected by the snow. Hiccup was the first one who caught his breath enough to speak.
''It's pretty dark right now. How about we go back to the village?'' Merida nodded. ''Aye, good plan. I'm freezing.''
When they reached the village they walked up the hill to both Hiccup's house and the great hall. Merida walked to the great hall since she and her family were camping out in the great hall. Hiccup just wanted to open the door to his house when he heard a familiar voice call him.
''Hiccup, wait up!'' He turned around and saw Astrid running off the stairs to the great hall, towards him. ''Finally, I found you. Where have you been all day?''
''Oh, you were looking for me?I was in the forest with Merida.'' Astrid looked a bit annoyed at this. Though he didn't really understand why.
''Oh, of course. With Merida. Well, do you want to go for a night flight?'' Astrid asked. ''Sorry Astrid'' replied Hiccup while rubbing the back of his neck nervously. ''Maybe another time. I'm very tired right now.''
Astrid's face fell slightly. ''Oh…'' he noticed her disappointed look immediately and tried to find a compromise. ''But hey, I'm sure there's another day to do a night flight. How does tomorrow sound to you?''
Astrid smiled. ''Of course. See you tomorrow then.'' Hiccup smiled back. ''See you tomorrow milady.'' Hiccup gave her a quick kiss before going inside and closing the door.
The moment the door closed Astrid's face fell again. He said the same thing the day before. He said they would go flying today. He probably forgot he even suggested that so she decided not to mention it. She didn't blame him. He had just gotten his childhood best friend back. He just wanted to spend time with her now. But it still hurt that he had forgotten her so easily.
She walked away and eventually reached home. Stormfly was already waiting there. She stroked her dragon's head softly and mumbled. ''It's just us today girl. Again. But tomorrow Hiccup and Toothless will join us.''
She mounted Stormfly and together they flew away.
Alright, end of the first chapter. Send a review if you read this. It motivates me a lot to know people read my story. If you have any ideas for the story, just send it. I am open to new ideas. It will take me longer to write the first chapter though because this time I am determined to work out the plot to prevent plot holes and/or writer's block.
