This is when Hiccup is 13 which is two years before the first movie so they are still fighting dragons. Which means Hiccup is still screwing everything up.


Stoick dragged his son into the house. Furious eyes followed the teen. He had just cost them almost the entire storage house. Stoick forced his son into a chair. "Hiccup, this can't go on anymore." "I'm sorry. I was just trying to help. Just mild calibration issue." Stoick slapped his hand over the boys mouth and took a seat in front of him. "Son, you know Astrid?" Hiccup raised an eyebrow. "What does this have to do with anything?" Stoick sighed. "Do you like her?" Hiccup's eyes widened."W-what? No, no, no, I mean she's pretty and she doesn't call me Hiccup the useless but... she wouldn't like me back and I'm not going to embarrass my self for no reason. Wait why are you even asking?" Stoick leaned forward. "Well, the council has decided to take your right to be chief." Hiccup sat up. "Wait what?! I thought we were talking about Astrid!"

Hiccup sat back. "We still are. They decided to give that right to whom ever you marry. Which would be...Astrid." Hiccup jumped out of his seat. "Whoa, slow down there tiger. I'm 13!" " Other islands marry the children off at 12. And we haven't discussed when. You could marry her when you're 18. We don't know yet." Hiccup was jaw dropped." Nope, not gonna happen. I'm not marrying Astrid. At least not forced." He winced. He just said that out loud. "Or ever." Stoick rested a hand on Hiccup shoulder." It might not before for a very long time. Calm down. You could have plenty of time to get her affection." Hiccup pulled away. "I don't want to become Snotlout. She'll hate me forever." "You have plenty of charm. A lot more than Snotlout." "I know that! I'm not lacking is self confidence. You are lacking in a brain. But that much is obvious. Trying marry me off so I don't have any chance to be chief." Hiccup hissed and stormed up stairs. He kicked over his desk. He yelped and fell back. "Bad idea. Bad idea."


Astrid strolled into her house."Hey mom. Hey dad. I'm going to bed." Before Astrid could get to the stairs her mother pulled her into a seat." Sit down dear. We have some news." "Stoick said that him, Gothi, and the rest of the council are going to make you the heir to the tribe." Astrid raised an eyebrow."What? That doesn't even make sense." Her parents looked at eachother worried. "Well, you have to marry Hiccup." Astrid grimaced."No. That's just no." "You know he isn't that bad." Her mother pointed out. "He's sweet and gentle. He'd be a wonderful father." "Father!?" Astrid mom grabbed her daughters forearm." Yes. He is a Haddock. One of the most respected clans ever on Berk. And you'd be the mother to one." Astrid looked down at her hand. She'd be chief, she'd be respected, She couldn't pass this up. Even if Hiccup was part of the deal." Okay." Her parents sighed in relief. "But soon. I just want to get the wedding part over with."

She climbed up to her room and sat at the end of her bed. She fell back groaning.


Sorry the first chapter is so short. I'm trying to be some what historically accurate with the marrying ages. They weren't going to force either into it. But Stoick got Hiccup to say he had interest in her. And he just didn't go after it because Astrid wouldn't like him back. And Astrid did eventually agree after some convincing. I have a lot of stories going right now so I'm sorry if it takes a while to update.
