A/N This is my first story ever. This was inspired by several of the stories I have read on this site. This story focuses on one of my personal beliefs on a certain concept. Let's see if you can guess what it is, but don't ruin it for other people.

Chapter 1 - Beginning

It has been 2 years since Drago Bludvist attacked Berk with his bewilderbeast. Hiccup and Astrid have been married for about a month now having to wait for things to calm down and Hiccup to get used to his new position as Chief. Everything has been peaceful, well as peaceful as things get on Berk, ever since Hiccup became Chief and everything has return to the way it was before with a few exceptions.

Since Hiccup has become the Chief he no longer had the free time to teach at the dragon academy so he made Astrid and his mother Valka in charge of teaching the younger generation. It is early spring on Berk in the early afternoon; we see Hiccup and Toothless walking through the village together on their way to the Academy. As they are walking every Viking that passes by responds with "Chief." and a slight nod and the dragons bow showing their respect towards their alpha.

"It's a nice day isn't bud?" Hiccup says. Toothless makes a sound in agreement with his friend.

Hiccup and Toothless arrives at the academy just as a class was ending. All of the youngsters run past their Chief excited to go home and try out the new things that they learned. Hiccup sees Astrid and Valka cleaning up the academy and walks up to them.

Astrid turns and sees Hiccup "Hey babe, what are you doing here don't you usually have work to do at this time?" She asks.

"I managed to finish some of my tasks a little early today, so I thought I would have lunch with my gorgeous wife today." Hiccup holds up a basket full of food.

"Oh thank Thor I am starving" Astrid sighs grabbing her stomach. Astrid turns to Valka and asks her if she would like to join them.

"No thank you sweetheart. I'll just go and eat in the mead hall and leave you two alone, I'm sure you two have been dying to spend some alone time with each other." Valka says giving Hiccup and Astrid a hug and rubbing Toohtless's snout as she leaves.

"Shall we go milady?" Hiccup says with a smile on his face, obviously happy that he finally has some free time to spend with his new wife. They both hop onto Toothless and fly up to the cliff that overlooks the village. After several minutes of eating they began having a pleasant conversation about their days. Hiccup having to deal with disputes between Vikings and the occasional wild dragon stealing food and cleaning up the mess the twins make wherever they went today. "Those two never change do they, always causing trouble. I was hoping now that Ruffnet and Fishlegs are engaged and Tuffnet dating the lumberjack's daughter that they would calm down a little but noooo. They seem even more destructive than before."

Astrid begins to braid a small part of Hiccup's hair as she says "They are probably just having as much fun as they possibly can before they have to settle down, even they know they can't keep acting like that forever well I at least hope they realize that."

Hiccup sighs "I guess you're right. I just wish they would try to make my job easier and try to control themselves a little better."

"So anything else happen today?"

"Nothing over exciting. Had to settle a few fights that started because someone would be mean to someone else's dragon. Took inventory of the armory, apparently we are missing a few weapons, nothing too major they can be replaced in a few days. I also helped Gobber repair a few saddles that had broken from wear." Hiccup says in an obviously exhausted tone. "That was my day so far how about yours?"

"It was alright, I let your mother take the lead today. She always gets so excited talking about dragons to the younger generation."

Astrid rests her head on Hiccup's shoulder and places one of her hands on his chest. Hiccup drapes one of his arms around Astrid's shoulder and they both just stare down at the village watching people and dragons alike walking through the village. "You know when I was trying to get my father on a dragon we flew over the village and he said that he couldn't be happier seeing his people happy and safe. Now that I'm Chief I can kind of understand what he meant by that." Hiccup says with a smile on his face as he looks down on the village. The smile soon disappears as memories of his father flow through his mind. Astrid notices this and pulls away from Hiccup to look into his eyes.

"Everyone misses him Hiccup, he was a great Chief" Astrid says trying to comfort her husband. "And I am certain that he would be just as proud as everyone else is at how well of a job you are doing as Chief."

"You really think so?" Hiccup asks in a voice noticeably depressed and uncertain about itself.

"Yes. You have more than proven yourself to be just as good of a Chief as Stoick." Astrid says in a calm and reassuring voice.

Hiccup gently places his hand in Astrid's hair and pulls her closer to him gently kissing her on the lips. As Hiccup pulls away and places his forehead on his wife's he whispers "Thank you, you always know what to say to make me feel better." They sit there like that for a minute just staring into each other's eyes. Astrid could stare into Hiccup's emerald eyes all day long and never get tired of it. She wraps her arms around his neck and leans in pressing their lips together. Astrid takes one of her fingers and starts to lightly glide the tip of her finger around Hiccup's neck and spine causing Hiccup to shiver slightly and moan into her lips. Hiccup places his hands on Astrid's waist and leans back pulling both of them to the ground with Astrid on top.

Hiccup's hands climb up along Astrid's sides and up into her hair, playing with the base of her braid. Their tongues wind together as they echo soft noises between themselves. Astrid smirks into the kiss and rubs her hips teasingly across Hiccup. He lets out a low moan, his hands falling lower on her waist. Astrid slides her hands across his chest, biting Hiccup's bottom lip before trailing her fingertips down his torso and into his waistband.

Just as things are getting good they hear a horn blowing. The both of them sigh in disappointment as they get up off of the ground to see what is going on. They look out into the village and notice a ship is heading to the docks. Hiccup pulls out his telescope to see who it is. "Looks like its trader Johann." Hiccup put his telescope away and holds his hand out to Astrid to help her off the ground and says "We should go and greet him me being the Chief and you being the Chief's wife and all."

"Ah, Master Hiccup and Astrid Hofferson it's wonderful to so you two again!" Johann exclaims with a smile across his face and his arms open wide in excitement.

"Trader Johann, welcome back to Berk." Hiccup says with a smile.

"And its Astrid Haddock now, Johann." Astrid says.

"OH that is wonderful news, congratulations you two. I wish I could have been here for the ceremony. To make up for it Astrid you may pick any one item and consider it a wedding present from me."

"I will thank you Johann."

"You're a few days earlier than usual." Hiccup says.

"Aye that be true Master Hiccup I came here quicker than usual because I heard of a rumor that I thought you would very much like to hear." Johann said looking secretive.

Hiccup raises an eyebrow in curiosity at trader Johann's statement. "And what might that be?"

"On my travels I heard about a dragon that has been terrorizing a few villages about two weeks times east of here. The dragon is said to be so ancient that it has been around since long before Vikings even first thought about setting sail into the open seas. The Chiefs of the villages that this ancient dragon has been attacking have placed a bounty on it and are gathering warriors who are willing to fight it." Johann explained.

Hiccup's eyes widened as he nearly shouted "I got to head over there now and try to stop them!" Hiccup begins to head towards Toothless to fly over there but he suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder and turns to see Astrid.

"Hiccup you can't just run off by yourself to save random people and dragons you're the Chief now." Astrid says trying to get him to calm down and think about his position.

"I have to go Astrid." Hiccup says looking into Astrid's eyes.

"I know Hiccup just wait a bit we need to make sure that everything will be ok before we head out. Now let's head back to the village and start preparing." Astrid says gently kissing Hiccup on the cheek.

Hiccup relaxes and realizes that she is right. Hiccup leans in and returns the kiss on her cheek and says "You're right, sorry about that I just get overly excited here." Hiccup grabs Astrid's hand and begins to walk to the mead hall to inform the villagers of what he plans to do.
