That night the whole Berk partied. Not so unusually. But the reason was. They were celebrating the new peace between the dragons. Hiccup-the older one-made sure to tell his father about the Red Death. Tomorrow afternoon he and the other dragon riders were supposed to go and kill it. He was going to let the younger him to be the hero this time too. Not that he would know. Not until the battle.
If they weren't gonna have guests, everything was going acord the plan. And by guests, he meant his friends and girlfriend.
In the great hall, at the chief table, he stood beside his father and the younger him. Toothless-both of them- stood outside. His buddy was talking with the other dragons. They made sure to make them sane again from the queen's brainwash.
The teens were questionating him about the future. Almost the most of them asked about how awesome were they or if they have girlfriends or a boyfriend. Astrid just asked about the village and her Stormfly.
The younger him was quiet. He listened very close and absorbed the new about the future eagerly.
"Hey, Hiccup! The older one. Do you have a girlfriend? Or are you married?" Asked Ruffnut. She as always showed interest in handsome men. And he wasn't falltering himself. That was just what Astrid said.
That question made him pause. He waited a few seconds. He looked at the faces of Astrid and the younger him. Both of them listened closely. His father too. And the whole hall.
"That's right, son. Tell us. You should have a girl in your mind for marrying."
"Yes i have. She is my fiance."
"Haha! I knew it! Gobber, you own me two fishes!"
"Dad!" Said exasperated both Hiccups.
"What? I have trust in you."
"Gee. Thanks, i guess."
"And? Who is she?"
"I can't really tell you that. She will appear soon."
"Not even an hint?"
"Hmmm...i guess. She...is beautifull. She is a Valkirie, i guess. She and her dragon are very fast. If she wouldn't already be my fiance, i would ask her to be my wife a hundred times. And i am sure that if she wasn't the girl that the chief is smitten for, she would have a lot of suitors."
"So you're smitten after her, huh?" Asked snotlout grinning.
"Yeah. And you after Ruffnut."
"What?!"
"It's true. Even if she is married with Fishlegs."
"Wait, what?"
Hiccup looked at his younger self. He began to understand who the girlfriend was.
"And what about Astrid? Does she has someone?"
"Hm? Oh, yeah. She does. And she loves him. In fact, i think thah she told me that even at this age, she liked him. Right, Astrid?"
Everyone was looking at her. She was burning red.
"And how would YOU know? Even if you are the chief." Asked Ruffnut again.
"She told me. We are best friends and she is a close advisor."
"Whoa! Who would have thought that you would be the type of man who would have an affair?" Asked Tuffnut mockingly.
"Excuse me? I am not the one who is faithful to a chick. A real chick."
"Yeah?! How does she looks?"
"Tuffnut. She has feathers."
"She's an angel?!"
"No! She's a chicken! The one that gives you your eggs every morning!"
"That's a tragic story..."
"For sure. And i am not having an affair. One. I love my fiance. Two. She would kill me."
"Well. I guess this is enough for now. Tomorrow is a great day. You all should go to sleep." Stoick commanded.
The night went well. The next morning...not so well. Let's say that Loki has a soft spot for our Hiccup. He can't not prank him.
