HAHA please forgive me I have no idea what I'm doing.

The sun was setting once again on Berk. Being one of the only real benefits of living on the island the sunset was quite beautiful. Well actually, after a couple years and only a few burnt houses there was one other benefit to living on Berk, there were the pets. That's right, the dragons that had been raiding the village these hundreds of years had now become the pets of the vikings that use to kill these very same dragons. There was no one who benefited from this change more than Hiccup. No longer was Hiccup "the worst viking Berk has ever seen," now he was the "Pride of Berk" and "Dragon Conqueror." Not that Hiccup allowed anyone to say that last one when he was within earshot.

The sun was setting on the dragon and viking village. The villagers were settling in their homes as they finished the necessary chores that had to be done before nightfall. One of those necessary chores was taking Toothless on his daily flight. Not that Hiccup ever considered this a chore, but it was necessary considering when he was unable to the dragon tended to get back at him. Last time Hiccup was unable to he woke up to find himself hanging upside down from the rafters with a not to happy Toothless suspending him there.

Hiccup was in the middle of this flight when an all too familiar figure flew up beside him. "And to what do I owe this pleasant surprise to, oh great Lady Hofferson?" Hiccup snarked as Astrid and Stormfly became level with him and Toothless.

Astrid smirked. "Oh nothing, I was only wondering what you guys are going to think when me and Stormfly beat you two to Dragon Island." Astrid declared as she and Stormfly quickly sped past the boy and his dragon.

"Oh we'll see about that, come on Toothless." Hiccup said knowingly as he changed the tailfin position and Toothless sharply veered down and to the right out of sight of the blond girl and her Deadly Nadder.

Astrid was constantly on the lookout for the black blur that always over took her in these little competitions she initiated. Astrid knew that she could never really beat the Hiccup and Night Fury duo, but it was kind of worth seeing that smirk on his face just so she could give him a light punch to wipe it off. Okay, it was more than kind of worth it. Hiccup was the only person that Astrid really did not mind losing to, but she really was not okay with the fact that she still could not see the two of them ready to overtake her in the waning sunlight. If there was one thing Astrid hated more than losing it was winning on false pretenses. She grimaced. Damn it, Hiccup better not of ignored her, oh she was going to punch him so hard when she got back.

After flying for some time Astrid finally saw Dragon Island as the final rays of the sun fell beneath the waves. Astrid spotted the light of a small fire as she began to descend. "Oh that little-" She cut herself off as she directed Stormfly to land next to Toothless.

"How nice of you to finally join us." Hiccup proclaimed as he reclined against Toothless and tried to hide the fact he was out of breath from preparing the fire in the small time he had from when he landed and when Astrid landed.

"Are you sure that's not a new record?" Astrid asked. "I'm pretty sure I can at least see you when you pass me."

Hiccup smirked. "I stopped keeping track after the fifty-forth or fifty-sixth time I beat you. Ow!" Hiccup grabbed his arm after receiving what Astrid called a "light" punch wiping the grin from his face.

"Oh come on ya big baby." Astrid smiled as she sat down, not quite as close as she would have liked, but still within punching range of Hiccup and leaned back against the Night Fury's flank. "So, any plans for your birthday next week?" Astrid inquired as she gazed up at the stars that were just begging to twinkle into existence as the glow leftover from the sun dissipated completely over the horizon.

Hiccup removed his hand from his "wounded" arm following Astrid's gaze to look at the stars. "Well if my father and Gobber have anything to do with it I'm sure it will be just as bad as last year."

"You know I don't think they actually planned to have the Sharkworms attack when they did." Said Astrid, remembering last year when a group of Sharkworm dragons had ransacked the village and ruined the birthday feast that Stoick and Gobber had planned.

"That was the best part of the whole day." Astrid turned her head and gave Hiccup a displeased look. "What?" Hiccup gave her the same displeased look discerning what she was implying. "I didn't even want a party! I distinctly told them not to, but what do they do? Throw one anyway. Getting all the villagers in on it, Hoisting me on their shoulders, throwing gifts at me, a big feast in the Great Hall- I mean it's better than the way it was before, but I can't say I like all this extra attention." Hiccup huffed and looked away.

Astrid got an all too familiar sensation of guilt in her stomach at Hiccup's statement. Astrid knew that Hiccup didn't hold the things she had done back then against her, but she still couldn't help herself from feeling this way. Hiccup was too kind and naïve, the poor sucker. Astrid had decided she would hold it against herself in his place. The years of shame and constant disappointment Hiccup had to suffer through were not going to just disappear. Being a Viking was something that came naturally to Astrid, matters of the heart however did not. So Astrid was going to do all she could to make it up to him however she knew how. "Hiccup you deserve all this attention, you've done things vikings would have never imagined possible."

"Not you too!" Hiccup scoffed at her, throwing his arms up in exasperation.

"Don't pretend it isn't true Hiccup." She retorted, giving Hiccup her finest Astrid scowl that she could muster.

"Fine, fine, that still doesn't mean I have to like it." Hiccup gave in knowing that looking at her face the discussion was over and that Astrid wasn't changing her opinion anytime soon.

Astrid sighed and stood up. "Come on we should be getting back." She said grabbing Hiccup's arm to pull him up.

"Hey I'm wounded remember." Hiccup pretended to flinch as he allowed Astrid to pull her up.

"If you don't want a matching pair I think you better suck it up." she threatened as she walked up to the fire and began kicking dirt on it to put it out.

"I don't know having two bruised arms might look good on me." Hiccup replied as he mounted Toothless.

"It's an open offer. One I'm willing to complete at any time." She reminded him as she got on Stormfly, grinning and brandishing her fist.

"I think I'll pass on that offer." Hiccup and Toothless rose into the night sky almost invisible if Astrid hadn't seen them take off.

"Oh Hiccup, what I'm I going to do with you." Astrid said to herself as she and Stormfly started to join the boy and his dragon on the flight back to Berk. Astrid still didn't have any idea what she was going to get him for his birthday present.

So that happened, I seriously have no idea what I'm doing. Will most likely continue this but I would like to see what people think and learn some more about the site before that since this is my first fic.
