Just thought I'd like you to know, I don't know what coming up either, it's getting sent to me, chapter by chapter.

Storm's on The Horizon Chapter 1: The Perfect Life
A storm was brewing and Berk was in the very centre of it. The rain was so hard it had worn down the thickest of Viking roofs; the wind had torn trees from their roots. Even the dragons that had the strongest of wings, were finding it hard to fly! Nobody could go outside without being drenched or knocked down by the wind.
Every so often there were occasional 'okay' days when there was a little drizzle. On these days every dragon would be in the air squawking and flying because if they wouldn't they's become restless and set fire to anything and anyone. Two flyers were going a different route today. Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third and Astrid Hofferson. Hiccup's dragon Toothless was a Night Fury, seemingly the only one, but that wasn't why he was so special to Hiccup. Hiccup had befriended Toothless, who was injured when Hiccup shot him down with a bit of tail missing, 2 years ago when friendships like this couldn't and wouldn't happen. The Red Death had been controlling the dragons for food. They destroyed the Red Death but Hiccup had lost a foot (just below his knee) but got a half metal, half wooden leg.
Astrid was beautiful in Hiccups opinion; she had become Hiccups girlfriend since the Red Death incidents but said she had a crush on him since she was 8. Valk was a very vain, blue and yellow Deadly Nadder yet beautiful in her own way, was Astrid's dragon and fancied Toothless.
Anyway, they were flying to the abandoned dragons nest for Hiccup had something special for Astrid.
When they got into the nest Hiccup got of Toothless and said "Astrid we've been together for over two years and I want to ask you this" he got down on one knee and took from his pocket a velvet box opened it to reveal a diamond ring "Will you marry me?"
"Yes, Yes of course!" She said got down and kissed him. Hiccup slid the ring on to her finger. Astrid admired it for a bit and said "It's beautiful. I love you!"
"Let's get going people will be wondering where we are."
"You mean 'where I am'?"
"No I mean us." Looking at Astrid and taking her hands "What do you mean any way?"
"You're the son of the chief!" Astrid said
"Oh yeah" Hiccup said flushing
"C'mon" she said getting on Valk. "We'd better tell everyone know we're engaged" taking off to fly back to Berk.
When they got there the Vikings had already gotten back. Stoick the Vast, the fearsome chief of the Hairy Hooligan tribe to which Hiccup and Astrid belonged, had started to get worried were his precious son was; but when they returned he was relieved when they returned safe.
"I'm just going to say to my dad how it went." Hiccup said
"He knows?"
"Yeah how do you think I got the diamond? Um... Dad can I talk to you?"
"Yes of course." Stoick guided Hiccup over to somewhere where they couldn't be over heard. "How did it go?"
"She said yes!" Hiccup replied
"Okay when are we going to start the wedding?"
"How about a few months so everyone can get use to it."
Hiccup went back to Astrid and helped her down from Valk. "Toothless do you and Valk want to get fish on your own?"Astrid asked the dragons. Toothless let out a whine and Valk a squawk. Astrid made a face and the dragons went off to find fish in the sea.
"Shall we tell everyone together or on our own?" asked Hiccup.
"Together." replied Astrid, smiling.
"Who shall we tell first?"
"How about the gang." Astrid was referring to Snoutlout, Ruffnut, Tuffnut and Fishlegs. They became friends when they defeated the Red Death. They found them looking after their dragons a Monstrous Nightmare called Fireworm, a Hideous Zippleback called Zipzap and a Gronkle called Horrorcow.
"Yeah but I can't help feeling Snoutlout will hit me or something easily gruesome."
"But you've got me to protect you" Astrid said fluttering her blue eyes "and any way we've been heading down this road for months."
"I guess so" Hiccup replied and headed down to the dragon training arena where they'd most likely be.
When they got there they found themselves in mayhem. Terrible Terrors were roaming the place. All you could see was the dragons flying around the place with a pack of Vikings chasing after them. They found Ruffnut and Tuffnut chasing after a pack of terrible terrors whilst making insults how rubbish the other one was at catching the terrors. Fishlegs and Snoutlout teaching a young group of Vikings how to a net to catch them. The full grown dragons getting annoyed at the little beasts mocking them and shooting fire at them every once in a while. Firedrake getting partially annoyed and setting himself on fire.
"We'll help" Shouted Astrid running after the Terrible Terrors. It took about an hour getting the dragons under control and getting them to calm down.
"So," Ruffnut said after a while "What was it you wanted to talk to us about?"
"Well..." Astrid looked up at Hiccup. "Hiccup and I are getting married."
"Aww I knew that would happen." She said
"No I did." said Tuffnut confidently.
"I did," Ruffnut said "I always knew it from the start." and the two started fighting over who said it first. Snoutlout, however, was scowling at Hiccup and thinking:
'Why did Astrid choose Hiccup over me?'
Fishlegs was happy for them both and for the dragons they road and squawked in agreement.
"Umm..." Hiccups was getting agitated at Snoutlout's staring and hobbled over to Astrid for protection.
"Any way" Astrid said after a while braking up the argument of Ruffnut and Tuffnut, the roaring of the dragons and the scowling at Hiccup. "We were thinking of holding the wedding sometime soon. And Ruffnut?"
"Hmm?"
"Would you like to be the bride's maid?"
" Of course! Thank you!" she said after countless bickering with her sibling. After the dragon training lesson, which Hiccup and Astrid joined in on teaching, (Hiccup being careful not to get to close to Snoutlout) they went down to the tavern/meeting hall to eat and discus what the wedding was going to be like. Ruffnut and Astrid manly talking about the dresses, as most girls do. Then Stoick trudged in soaking wet because it was raining again to ask Hiccup and Astrid when the wedding was going to be.
It was set for two months later. The first month just planning and waiting. If not anything the engagement seemed to bring Hiccup and Astrid together even more. You couldn't find one of them without the other one being nearby, especially if Snoutlout was around. He still hadn't forgiven Hiccup about the engagement. The storms still hadn't passed over yet but the weather couldn't dampen any ones mood. The second month was waiting and managing how much food they would need and how many seats would their need to be.

When the wedding day finally arrived the Viking traditions would play their role by getting up at the crack of dawn. However, Hiccup had gotten up before then and Toothless' wakeup call didn't make things much better.
"Hey buddy" Hiccup said "see your up to shall we have a little fly to waken ourselves up a bit?" Toothless, having not flown in a while because of all the rushing around was delighted of the idea. They shot off in to the air becoming just silhouettes in the sky.
Astrid was woken up by her mother and a group of Viking wives to help choose her ceremonial gifted, anther one of Viking traditions. Valk found a shielded she was partially fond of and put it at Astrid's feet; if someone took it away she would squawk and put there again. Astrid got in to her bluish wedding dress, her normal head gear was removed and was replaced by a tiara of twigs and flowers and her hair was let down from a plait to have a mass of crinkled hair which was beautiful with her outfit.
Hiccup landed and quickly got into his outfit of a green jacket, a white shirt and green pants. His one shoe was a black leather boot and his prosthetic leg was oiled to prevent it from squeaking.
And finally the time came when everyone was ready to get seated; the atmosphere was so thick you could cut it with knife. When Hiccup was standing at the altar, the music started to play and Ruffnut glided up the ally. She had moved out they all eyes was on the beautiful woman walking behind her and her father was holding her arm. Hiccup was pleased they were taking their time because his brain was temporally on shut down. When they got there, Stoick the Vast was going to marry them together, Hiccup held Astrid hand and Stoick began the service. When the vows had been given it was time for the rings.
"Do you Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the III take Astrid Hofferson to be your wedded wife, until death do you part?"
"I do" Hiccup said
"And do you Astrid Hofferson take Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the III to be your wedded husband, until death do you part?"
"I do" Astrid said
"Then I now pronounce you man and wife, you may kiss the bride"
As if on cue Toothless and Valk Pushed their owners together, their lips met and Cheers and roars erupted from the crowd and dragons. Their son of the chief had got a wife.
That night there was a huge feast. All of the Vikings sat at long tables set outside, while the dragons feasted nearby. As the feast ended, Stoick; who sat at the table with Gobber, Hiccup and Astrid, and Astrid parents; stood and turned to the newlyweds. "Well Hiccup, Astrid, today is the day you start your new life together. I'm sure I speak for every one when I say, it will be long and happy. Now, before we hit the sack, I have one last surprise for you."
Hiccup and Astrid looked at each other as they and the rest of the Vikings arose from their seats to follow Stoick. He led them to a large object cover in an even larger piece of cloth and rope. At Stoick's command, several Vikings untied the rope, allowing the cloth to fall. Everyone gasped. The Viking chief turned to his son and daughter in law.
"Hiccup, Astrid, welcome to your new home."
(.)
'Nothing could be much better' Hiccup thought it had been 2 weeks since he and Astrid had gotten married and Snoutlout had gotten over how Astrid had chosen Hiccup to get married to. The storms had passed over to so they could unlimited time flying and get to wherever they want. Hiccup turned over to his wife. Their house was as big, if not bigger, then the chiefs home. It had two floors. The first floor had a dining room a kitchen and a living room. The second floor had 2 bedrooms, currently set up as guest rooms and 1 master bedroom for Hiccup and Astrid.
"Hey" she said dreamily
"Hi" he said and leaned in to kiss. Scratching noises erupted from the other side of the door. Valk and Toothless had gotten used to their new home and they found their masters were sleeping later then they liked.
"Are we going to do some flying practise today?" asked Astrid
"Yeah, If you want to." Hiccup replied
"Great. I love it when you teach me how to fly." Astrid said. The two got dressed and had breakfast. Hiccup insisted that he'd make his own meals but Astrid said it was 'a way to express her love to her husband'. After they got their flying stuff on to stop them fall if they were doing rolls.
Well, there you go. We hope you like it :) Please review and I'll get Hiccup to hug you.
Hiccup: Hi.
