Ok, so this is my first story on Fanfic. Hope I do well! ;)

"Hiccup, I found Viggo's hideout!" Astrid said.

"Great! Where is it?" Hiccup asked.

Astrid replied, "It's just past the island where you found the buffalord."

Hiccup grinned. "I have an idea"

Everyone mounted their dragons. They flew to their dragons to the island where Viggo built his hideout.

"Ok, so this is the plan, This island is known for it's cave systems... Which means if we find the right one we can sneak into Viggo's hideout from underground!" Astrid's smile soon faded.

"What's wrong Astrid?" Hiccup asked.

"Oh nothing I'm fine" She managed to put on a tiny smile.

The gang searched around for about an hour. Finally Ruff and Tuff found Hiccup and told him they found a cave. They all followed the twins over to a small, dark, narrow cave. It wasn't even big enough to ride their dragons through. They got off their dragons and began to walk with them. Snotlout was ready to fight some dragon hunters. The twins were talking about all the destruction the were going to cause. Fishlegs was looking at all the caves Minerals and Ores. Hiccup couldn't help but notice Astrid wasn't herself. He walked over to her not saying anything. He noticed she was holding on to Stormfly, Which was normal. But it wasn't like she was just holding on to her. She was holding onto Stormfly like she was gonna fall into a pit of snakes if she let go. Also Astrid hadn't said anything to anyone since they began the walk through the cave. Finally, he asked.

"Astrid, What's wrong"

Hiccup looked over at Astrid. Her face turned red as a cherry.

Astrid managed to wisper, "Help"

"Astrid?!"

Hiccup was worried now. All the sudden Astrid passed out. Hiccup caught her right before she hit the ground. Everyone gasped.

"Guys, We have to go back to the Edge. We will come back tomorrow. Hiccup said with a conserned voice.

Hiccup decided he would just carry Astrid back. Hiccup began to walk back the way they came. About 3min after they started walking, Astrid woke up. She felt sick, tired, and freezing cold. The cave was about 10 degrees Fahrenheit. She closed her eyes and went to sleep. Once the gang got to the cave's enterance Hiccup hopped on Toothless.

"Sorry Toothless, It may be a little heayier today. Is that alright?" Toothless nodded his head. Stormfly walked over to her rider and nudged Astrid's hand.

"She will be okay Stormfly." Hiccup said.

Snotlout asked, "Hey Hiccup, Why can't Astrid ride with me?"

Everyone looked at Snotlout and rolled their eyes. Even Hookfang.

"Really Hookfang?! Well thats cold... My own dragon doesn't agree with me."

"C'mon guys, It's getting late." Hiccup said.

The twins asked, "Can we explode snotlout?"

Hiccup sighed.

"Well usually I would say yes but that would wake up Astrid."

Snotlout asked, "What did I ever do to get all of you guys to hate me?!"

The twins replied, "Well first of all, You didn't blow up!"

Fishlegs finally just started to fly away. He was tired of listening to their nonsense. The gang followed him. They reached the Edge and everyone went to sleep except Hiccup. He brought Astrid back to her hut and put her in her bed. He stayed in her hut all night. He was planning on staying up all night incase she woke up, but he ended up falling asleep on Toothless. He woke up and went back to his hut to make breakfast. He came back with three plates each one had a smoked fish. He walked upstairs and opened Astrid's bedroom door. He looked in and saw Astrid awake. She wasn't as happy to see Hiccup as Hiccup was to see her. She was crying. After all this time with Astrid, Hiccup had never seen her cry. He walked over to her bed and placed the plate on the small wooden table beside her bed.

Hiccup asked, "Astrid what's wrong?"

Astrid replied, "Everything"

Hiccup didn't know what to do. He had never had this problem before. Astrid has almost died a few times and yet she has never cried. What could have caused this?

"Astrid, I'm your friend. You can tell me." Hiccup said.

Finally she told him. Astrid let out a long sigh and said,

"Hiccup I'm... I'm... I'm afraid."

"Afraid of what"? Hiccup asked.

"I'm afraid of... I'm afraid of confined places."

"Astrid! Why didn't you tell me! We wouldn't have gone that way.

"Exactly I didn't want you to have to go a different way. We both know underground is the best way to go. Plus everyone would think I was a wimp."

"Astrid... How could anyone ever think you were a wimp. I had never seen you cry untill today. And I have seen Snotlout cry!

Astrid blushed.

"Hiccup... Please don't tell anyone..."

"Astrid I would never."

"Thank you Hiccup."

"For what?"

"For everything."

Hiccup smiled. Astrid smiled back. Hiccup was just about to leave when Astrid asked,

"Hiccup. What are you afraid of?"

Hiccup replied. "Do I have to tell"

Astrid laughed and said, "Yes"

Hiccup replied, "Fine... Well, Astrid I am afraid of snakes."

"What! So you ride a Night Fury, battle crazy dragon hunters, & yet you are afraid of snakes!?"

"Yep."

"Wow I never saw that coming" Astrid mumbled to herself.

"Hey! Don't make me lock you in that closet!"

Astrid laughed, "Ok Hiccup." She said.
