Astrid walked slowly and peacefully on Thor's beach along the shore-line with her eyes shut, enjoying the weather. There were heavy winds and breezes that would blow on her, sending her long braid flying. Everyone knew Berk was a cold place, but Astrid loved days like this. Days where she could be free and walk on the shore-line and enjoy her privacy, with no Snotlout to tease, try and flirt with, bug, annoy, or disgust her. Astrid walked along the beach and let the water wash up and hit her feet and pull back again. The sun was still up and it was 1:00 in the afternoon. Astrid heard a noise all of a sudden and her eyes shot open and she looked around. She then noticed Hiccup running towards her. "Astrid!" Hiccup yelled to her as he ran up. He got to her. "Astrid your mom wants to see you." Hiccup said. They ran back and Astrid walked into her house and saw her mother. "Mom?"Astrid walked up to her. "Astrid." Bertha said, gesturing for her to sit down. Astrid sat. "Is...everything okay?" Astrid asked. "Astid...sweetie, I need to talk to you about something." Astrid looked at her concerned. "Honey, I've been thinking that it's time you married." Astrid stood. "You... you think I should get married?" "Yes, is that a problem for you?" "No, but who would I marry...?" Astrid asked calmly. "I was thinking Hiccup." Her mother said as if she were just giving out ideas. Astrid loved the sound of marrying Hiccup, her boyfriend. She sat down and stared at the ground. "You take all the time to think about it. Tomorrow is your birthday after all." Her mother said, going upstairs. The next day: Astrid and Hiccup were walking along the beach holding hands. "Happy birthday, milady." Hiccup said to Astrid. Astrid smiled, looking at the ground for a split second in embarrassment, then looked back up. "I have a surprise for you." Hiccup said and they stopped and looked out to the ocean. "We should get back. There's something I need to show you." Hiccup said and they hurried back. Hiccup and Astrid hurried to the mess hall and Hiccup pulled out a chair for Astrid to sit at the table and seated Astrid, then walked to the other side of the table ad sat across from Astrid. "Come on, i'm only your girlfriend, you're... only my boyfriend. Why are you treating me like this. You don't have to pamper me- "Yes I do." Hiccup said, hardly giving her time to finish her sentence. Astrid looked at him with a smudged face and crossed her arms in acceptance. Right after that, Gobber came by and put fish infront of them and he signaled to Hiccup not to mess up their date, by giving him an un-noticeable pat on the shoulder and a sharp face. He walked away chuckling. "What was that all about?" Astrid asked.

"What was what all about!?" Hiccup asked as if he was snapped out of a trance, scared if Astrid saw Gobber.

"Gobber chuckling after he left the table."

"Oh, I dont know."

"Must think we're a cute couple, huh?" Astrid suggested.

"Oh! Yeah! Us... such an... adorable couple, you know?" Hiccup said with an obvious voice for covering up a lie and turning around to see Gobber, who was starring and Hiccup gave him the 'never do that again, please?' face, but Astrid didn't notice. Hiccup turned back around quickly, before Astrid looked up at him from her plate so she wouldn't spot him looking back at Gobber, who was now gone. But they weren't the only ones in there. The mess hall was bright lit with torches and it was crowded like the Vikings got together for a party. Other Vikings were sitting at every other table in the mess hall, just eating, laughing and enjoying themselves with their families.

"So... any surprises for me and my 15 years of age?" Astrid asked playfully, but serious for an answer.

"Oh, your gonna be overjoyed, I can give you that. I might even have to try and calm you down and take you to the elder with you missing your own leg and my broken limbs." Hiccup joked, resulting with Astrid laughing.

Later that night:

Astrid and Hiccup were out at the docks looking at the stars and the ocean, with the moo shining perfectly bright enough.

"Astrid..." Hiccup started, standing up and taking out his hand to help Astrid up.

"What's going on?" Astrid asked. She notice Hiccup pull out a little ring and knelt down on his knees.

He held out the ring. "Will you marry me?"
