"Guys! Check this out!" Snotlout yelled as he ran into the mead hall.

"What?" Hiccup asked shyly. He still wasn't completely used to hanging out with his new 'friends'.

"My burn!"

"Why are you showing off a burn?" Astrid asked, leaning against the wall, looking very scary while doing so.

"Because, it's shaped like a scull!" he said, as if it was just common knowledge.

"how'd you do that?" Fishlegs asked, amazed at the marvel.

"I burnt it in with hot metal!"

"so, you branded yourself?" Astrid asked, knowing she could catch him off guard.

"well, when you put it like that..."

"That has got the be the stupidest thing I've ever heard!" Ruffnut yelled.

"Shut up! That is totally awesome, man!" Tuffnut yelled in return.

'Great, now the twins are arguing...' Hiccup though, 'once they started, there was no stopping them.'

"What'd I say?" Hiccup asked in vain. Using his dry, witty humor, he had somehow offended Astrid.

"oh, you know!" she yelled, turning away. She stormed off into the woods, and Hiccup desisted not to follow. She seemed really mad.

"Crap." he mumbled, sitting down on the ground next to Toothless. The dragon purred softly next to him.

"I don't get it either, bud. Chicks are just weird..." he said, trying to comfort the dragon, and more or less himself.

_ "Where've ya been?" Gobber asked as Hiccup entered the forge, "we've been all kindsa backed up withoutcha!"

Hiccup jumped as a dented shield was thrown at him.

"How are people breaking their weapons, when we aren't even fighting anything?" Hiccup wondered aloud.

"well, we are still vikings. War-less, none the less, but still vikings." Gobber, looking frazzled from the days past work, replied.

"and um, I was, out.." Hiccup mumbled, answering his mentor, and boss' question.

"out where?"

"out and about. Sorry I was late, it won't happen again..."

Hiccup began sharpening a sward.

"it happens." Gobber mumbled in return, as he wondered into the back.

"so, did you hear about 'Lout's burn?" Hiccup asked, in a sad attempt to make conversation.

"aye! I helped with that burn!"

"you did!" he returned, sarcastically. He then looked down, realizing that he had done the same thing that had gotten his potential girl-friend mad, again.

"I sure did! And did a pretty fair job if I do say so myself, and I do!"

"okay?" He whispered, beginning to work on a different sward. The large, blond-haired man turned and looked out the window. There, as clear as a picture, sat Astrid, petting Stormfly, clearly hurt.

"What's wrong with yer girl-friend?" he asked the boy.

"m-my girl-friend?"

Hiccup still wasn't one hundred percent sure about using those terms, especially after their fight.

"Astrid." Gobber replied blankly.

"oh, um, I don't know what I said, but she's mad at me..."

"What'd ya do at fer?"

"I didn't do anything, I don't think..."

"ye don't think?"

"um, correction, I don't know." he said laying the sward he was currently working on down, and started banging the dents out of a shield, and not doing a very good job. He may have killed the red death, but he was still really puny. "How can I make it up to her?"

"Try flowers! All girls like flowers!"

"um, okay! I'll find some after work!"

A smile spread across Hiccup's face as he hurried to finish his work.
