Chapter 1: In Your Arms
This story starts after a morning dragon race that all the gang participated in, Hiccup helped his beautiful girlfriend, Astrid win whilst coming 2nd himself, the twins Ruff and Tuff came 3rd and Snotlout and Fishlegs tied last again. Hiccup and Astrid rode around on their dragons for a while, celebrating and enjoying the appreciative cheers of the crowd and then they swung around the island and landed in the cove were they sat and talked for the rest of the day. They were talking about the races and mapping, the usual stuff like that.
They had been peacefully sleeping when Hiccup slowly opened his eyes and looked down to his girlfriend who was snuggled into his chest he nudged her on the leg and she woke up slowly, looked up at him and smiled a tired smile and he whispered "Good afternoon sleeping beauty" he kissed on the forehead and then she leaned forward and softly but sweetly pecked him on the lips. He sat there with his head leaning gently against hers for a little, stuck in his thoughts, then he shrugged her off his chest and stood up, gestured his hands to help her up she stood with a confused and frustrated look on her face then he said in a sweet loving voice "Astrid I love you and there is nothing that can change that, You are the only one that I want to be with." His voice was shaky. He sighed then he started again. "Therefore I want to spend the rest of my life with you… um, sooooo…" he bent over on one knee held her hands near his chest and said "Astrid Hofferson will you be interested in spending the rest of your life with me?" Astrid had already started to cry she nodded her head slowly and he gave her his crooked smile that she loved then he mumbled quietly "Well here goes…" Then he shouted loud enough that the dragons could hear him but not too loud to hurt Astrid's ears "OK." He paused then continued bringing her closer and then he cleared his throat and said with passion "Astrid Hofferson, Will you marry me?"
