Chapter 2.
Astrid woke up, the sun was shining, the birds were singing and~ oh who was he kidding, it was FREEZING! He got up, had a bath and headed downstairs for breakfast. Man that was a long walk! Whoever decided that a 20 story castle was a good idea really needed to watch out for his mental health. He sat down with his parents and his brothers and sisters. His parents, Glenda and Sven, were the king and queen of Eutopia. He had four big brothers, Ronald, William, Harry, George(yeah yeah harry potter names but you have to admit they do sound like grand royalty names) and his three older sisters Ginerva, Hermione, Eritrea (yeah I named her after a country. Deal with it!) none of them really liked him that much, always trying to show him up, as if they felt threatened!
"Children, I have an exciting announcement!" announced his father.
Everyone turned to him.
"As you all know, princess Hiccup of berk shall be turning 16 this Saturday."
"Princess hiccup, that scrawny little girl that weighed less than my sword?" asked Harry.
"That's the one," said Glenda.
"So she will be looking for a suitor and as a result, King Stoick is hosting a birthday ball."
Astrid couldn't remember the last time he'd seen hiccup, no, actually he could remember it perfectly.
They were in the palace courtyard. Since they were the Royals of Valenta, their parents had thought it a good idea for them to mingle. It was just Him, Hiccup, Snotlout, Ruffnut, Tuffnut and Fishlegs sitting by the fountain, they were 8 at the time. Hiccups curly hair held back with a pin, wearing a green frock. She was breathtaking. A true work of art. Then Snotlout decided to push her into the fountain. She resurfaced spluttering. Her hair wet and her clothes clinging to her. Her mother took her in and dried her. That was the last time he saw her, for after that her mother died, he never even got to say I love you.
He snapped back to reality.
"When do we leave?" he asked.
"Well Stoick did say we could be there by Tuesday…." Replied his father.
"I'll go pack," he said, hopping up.
He dashed up the stairs three at a time.
"What's gotten into him?" asked Ronald.
"Love sick," said William.
"You realize that he isn't the only one who should be getting packed? The kingdom is a long carriage ride away, so we'll be leaving by lunch," said Glenda.
"Why do we have to go?" asked Harry.
"Because the princess is fair game for all of you," said the queen, "She could even end up choosing one of you."
The boys (FYI you know they're non-identical quadruplets right?) groaned, all thinking, please there's no way in Helheim we're marrying that princess wanna-be she probably looks like a troll, else she wouldn't need this ball. And headed up to pack.
"You should get going to young ladies," said Sven.
"Aw, dad, why do we have to go, we're not courting her?" asked Hermione, the eldest of the triplets (Non-identical and when Glenda was expecting Astrid she was surprised there was only one baby in there).
"Because, a lot of men will be there, princes from other kingdoms, so you have a chance to get yourself some husbands," explained their father.
They all nodded excitedly and ran up the stairs to pick out their best gowns.

so what'cha think? Someone asked me if toothless would be one of the princes. The answer is I don't know. While I love toothcup its really up to you guys, so you can choose but have it chosen before I get onto chapter 6 okay cause that's when everyone's intro's should end. Though honestly I think it would be better to do toothcup in a different story. Your choice really, you tell me and I'll do it.
next chapter is Snotlout.
