Sunlight glistened overhead, golden light illuminating the cove. Below sat two figures, bathing in the light.

"You know, I could give you some pointers if you wanted, you know, if you want to fly well as toothless and me..." Hiccup said mischievously, the corner of his mouth going into a grin, his sharp green eyes glinting with laughter.

"Oh really? I'd love that, honestly! It would be so helpful!" This was a remark that Astrid made a little too sweetly. "Of course I couldn't possibly have you help me without something in return... oh, what to give you, what to give you..." Hiccup knew this would net end well for him. Suddenly, Astrid struck, slamming into his gut and forcing him off the smooth rock they had just been relaxing upon. Something that Astrid apparently never practiced. Pinning him to the ground, Astrid laughed and said,"I could teach you how to defend yourself in exchange?" Her icy blue eyes sparkled with mischief and she joked. Collapsing to the ground, Astrid snuggled closer to Hiccup.

"So, was that another suitor I saw at your hut this morning?" Hiccup asked, somewhat crestfallen.

"Was there? I wouldn't know, by the time the sun rose I was was out training with Stormfly. Besides, there's not many guys on Berk that catch my eye... except for one that is..." she said with a playful gleem in her eye.

"Wonder who could that be." Hiccup playfully and sarcastically remarked.

"Just some guy I've known for awhile. He kinda tall, scrawny..."

"Hey!" Hiccup exclaimed, rolling over to pin Astrid on the ground. Astrid tried to push him off her yet failed, not able to contain her laughter.

"I should go, my father doesn't like when I miss someone coming in for a meeting. See you tomorrow?"

"Bright and early." Hiccup bent down and gave Astrid a kiss before she left. Hiccup followed Astrid with his eyes until she disappeared over the treetops.

When Astrid returned to her hut, she was met with stony silence. The room filled with tension and fear, almost suffocating her where she stood. Sitting at the kitchen table was her father, looking resigned and mournful. Across from him say a man who looked victorious. Like he had just won a centuries old battle. He smirked when he saw her. And she scowled when she saw him.
