Hiccup saw Astrid in front of a piano. He limped up behind her.
"Hey, Astrid," Hiccup said. Astrid turned to him, she had been playing a song before Hiccup interrupted her.
"Hey, Hiccup," Astrid said.
"What where you playing, just a little bit ago?" Hiccup asked as he sat down next to her.
"A country song I've been working on. Well, it's already a country song, I just changed a few words," Astrid said.
"Well, I would love to hear it," Hiccup said. Astrid blushed.
"You'll think it's stupid," Astrid said.
"No, I won't. Just because it's from you makes it not stupid," Hiccup said.
Astrid sighed and smiled at her boyfriend. "Ok, but if I perform this for you, you have to promise not to laugh, deal?" she asked. Hiccup nodded.
"It's about someone I know," Astrid said. She played a few notes before she started singing.
We were fourteen
On a dark night
When we had our first big fight
You said "this ride is over"
I got off then I told you
"I don't know what you are crying for"
You yelled for me as I walked down the shore
I said "I'll walk
Don't come to hold my hand
Right now I'm hurt
And you don't understand
So just be quiet
Later we can talk
Just leave, don't worry
I'll walk"
It was that night
With the dragon
You never saw that huge rock around the bend
I never will forget the thoughts
While coming to your house that night
When they told me your leg still wouldn't move
I cried when I walked into your room
You said "I'll walk
Please come and hold my hand
Right now I'm hurt
I know you understand
But don't be quiet
Now's the time to talk
Let's go, but no dragon
We'll walk"
I held your hand through everything
Through weeks and months of therepy
I held your hand when you asked me
To be your bride
Now I've dreamed as a little girl
To have my daddy bring me down the isle
Even if it's a bad Viking
With a gorgeous smile
You said "Come walk
Come to get my hand
It's not gonna hurt
From what I understand
Let's just be quiet
Later we can talk
Come on, come to me
Come walk"
Astrid finished the last few notes and looked over at Hiccup. "Do you know who it's about?" she asked.
"I have my guesses," Hiccup said.
"Well, do you like it?" Astrid asked.
Hiccup smiled. "Absolutely."
