Welcome to the Field of Miscellaneous HTTYD stories! Some of these will suck or at least seem pretty boring to me, but it's my dumping ground for all stories and tall tales including two that I have already published. It's just going to become my big book of HTTYD shtuff. If you're someone like me, this is awesome because it means you get constant updates and different plots all in one bundle! (silent cheers)

But anyways, back to the point, this is going to be anything and everything whether you like it or not. Be sure to tell me whether you like it or not because I need the feedback. I'm not really an aspiring author but I love writing down these scenes that form in my head. What better way to get criticism than this awesome community! So yea please enjoy, these are just my rambles and etc. Oh and expect an A/N (author's note) in the stories once or twice.

Cheers!

1. Hiccup's Advice

"Hiccup!"

A certain blonde came trudging up the cliff side, calling said boy's name.

"Hiccup where in the world did you go?"

The blonde, Astrid, looked around the dense area before her. A large forest was at her back with the tallest mound of rock on Berk before her. It was dotted with trees and long strands of grass that tickled the waning slopes as they billowed in the wind. Rough outlines and ridges could be seen far above and a slowly purpling sky beckoned her forward, up into the clouds where the peak lay awaiting her arrival. She wasn't sure why she was drawn towards the peak. If Hiccup were to be anywhere, she doubted it would be the peak of Berk itself; but she still decided to give it a shot.

The russet haired boy named Hiccup had disappeared that morning leaving no trace as to where he had gone. He had even left Toothless, his best pal and guardian, sitting in his house awaiting the boy's return. No one had seemed encouraged to go looking for Hiccup. Astrid tried to make a point of it after noon had turned evening and the boy was still no where to be found. Stoick and Gobber dismissed Astrid saying he'd be back soon enough, Snotlout had turned her off telling her it was no good. Fishlegs seemed worried but did not volunteer to join Astrid's search party, and finally Ruff and Tuff were always a hopeless case so Astrid simply took herself out on the search for Hiccup. Denying her Nadder's help, for she felt like walking, she grabbed a pack and took off up the hilly terrain, heading straight towards the one rock that signified this island was Berk.

Standing here at the base, Astrid shook her head in disbelief. Why didn't she bring her dragon? Did she really expect to find him at the top? He couldn't even climb with that leg of his and he didn't use Toothless as a ride. So why was she so drawn to this cliff? Throwing her doubts away, the blonde Viking began to climb, at first simply clambering over rocks but then finding herself in vertical terrain that needed footholds and handholds.

Reaching a break in the hard, vertical surface, she clambered over a ledge and rolled onto the flat area before her. Perspiring and aching in her arms, Astrid sat down and looked out over the ridge she sat on. Spread out before her was a wide canyon, small but large enough to fit a few Viking ships inside. A small stream wound it's way through it creating a snake like shape that reminded Astrid of the glowing algae river out west. (A/N Defenders of Berk reference) Deciding to call for Hiccup again,she grasped a shout in her throat and let out Hiccup's name once more.

"Hiccup!"

Her voice reverberated as though hundreds of Astrid's called out to the boy. All hitting her ears at a deafening volume, Astrid stood, covering her ears and brushing the dust off her shins. The sky was turning a deep violet even as the sun still stood. It would be dark soon, and Astrid hadn't planned on staying out that late. Grasping another handhold she heaved herself up once more, shimmying her way up the vertical slope until she could reach another flat ledge or ridge.

After a few more breaks, Astrid had broken through the final layer and was only a foot or two away from the peak. The only problem was there were no handholds for her to grab. She could jump from the foothold she was on, but that would be almost certain death. Leaning around the side she was flat against she grabbed a small handhold not too far up. Pushing herself up and jumping, she threw her torso at the top leaving her leg to slip on the wet rock under her. Immediately grabbing onto the nearest object, she gripped a thorn covered root and gasped as pain shot through her hands. Using her last bit of strength she pushed up and over, panting as she lay on the hard ground at the peak of the mountain.

Plucking the few thorns out of her hands, she wiped the small blood flow on her shirt hoping it wouldn't end up too serious. Sticking a careful hand onto a round boulder, she stood and wobbled on her legs for a moment. Regaining composure, the Viking took one step forward before stopping again. This time, she stopped because of the horizon before her.

It was as though someone had taken orange dye and spread it across the violet sky, leaving streaks of gold and blue that covered the mountain in a faint crimson glow. The sun was a soft orange and seemed to rotate on the spot as it danced it's last act before fading beneath the clouds. Astrid let a sigh escape her lips before focusing on the figure twenty steps ahead of her.

He was hunched over leaning sideways on a flat rock. Resting his chin on the palm of his hand, he resembled a great thinker in great thought, creating his next great invention right there on the spot. Astrid couldn't help but smile. Slowly walking up behind him, she sensed he knew she was there but still did not want to startle him. Reaching his side, she took a seat next to him on the flat rock.

The horizon was now a deep crimson and finally faded to a deep blue as the sun completely disappeared. The boy was still staring out at the sky, and the rolling landscape below. Astrid couldn't decide whether to leave him be or talk. She gave talking a shot.

"What's up?" she asked, placing a soft hand on his shoulder. The boy took his sight off the horizon and stared down at his feet. (Foot w/e)

"Not much. Just trying to loosen up a bit and relax. Spend some time above the clouds."

"You've been up here for awhile. Everyone has been wondering where you disappeared to. You've been gone the entire day, actually." she tried to not sound accusing.

"Yea, I- I just needed some time. Mull over my thoughts. Just some good ole' alone time." He was shutting down and Astrid needed to pry a little more. She tried humor.

"I didn't know you could sit still for this long. Surprises everyday huh?" she said, with a small grin.

"Nor did I. S'pose some alone time was really needed." he made a weak smile but it disappeared as he looked back out at the sky. Astrid was getting impatient.

"You wanna tell me what you've been thinking about? Or should I leave sir majesty to his royal court the sky?"

Hiccup smirked. She hated that smirk.

"Do you ever feel like you're just not enough? Your chest not wide and your arms too soft? Someone could take you down with a swipe of your hand and there's nothing you can do about it?" Hiccup gave her a questioning look.

"Well... yea I guess." She responded slowly.

"And do you ever feel invincible? Like nothing can stop you, no mortal or god can get in your way? You can conquer anything and there's nothing anyone can do about that?"

"No not really."

"That's why I came up here. I want to prove to myself that I'm still mortal, I'm still that fishbone everyone looked at and laughed at. When I'm with Toothless, I can do well, anything. I can take down any enemy in my way with just a simple command, order, or a little brainstorming. I feel like I'm just not... Hiccup. Metal leg and all." At this final statement he patted his leg where his metal foot stuck off the rock at an odd angle.

Astrid was at a loss of words. How do you reply to something like that? This boy, this dragon rider, Hiccup, was stuck in two worlds. He couldn't decipher which one was which. For Astrid, saying something was hard since she swore off emotion ages ago. Oh and sure, they have a relationship, she's punched him, hugged him, even kissed him, but their relationship wasn't fine-tuned enough for this. This wasn't something she was accustomed to. So she sat there for a few moments, deciding what to do. Eventually she came up with only one answer, and it was a tough one. Anything her mind told her was the same thing. She needed to show affection. This was hard for Astrid seeing as how she was a Viking, and affection wasn't in a Viking's handbook. So she did the only thing she ever learned when showing affection.

She punched him.

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnd that is that! No, there won't be anymore to this story, sorry if you wanted more.
