Alright, the story officially begins! I've released chapter 1 and 2 together so it'll give a bit of reading material! I'm aiming to have 3 out by Thursday at the latest!

Quick disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters from the movie or book How to Train your Dragon! Those are the property of the author of the book and directors of the movie. How ever you will know which characters were not in either I'm sure and I'll make note of these characters later in the story! Enjoy!

1: Summer Love

Blinking groggily as the sun filtered through her woven curtains Astrid slowly awoke. She yawned as she stretched, her thoughts wandered as she sleepily sat up. One month she thought, one month since her young boyfriend Hiccup, her boyfriend? Could she even call what they had a relationship between a boyfriend and girlfriend? A part of her wanted to say yes oh god yes that she was dating Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III, but the other part of her didn't want all the attention that would come with dating the scrawny son of the Viking chief and also the local hero of Berk. She smiled to herself at the thought, but again she didn't want THAT much attention. Although she was used to the attention of many, she didn't know how she'd handle the attention that would come with Hiccup. As Astrid slowly got out of her warm soft bed the room suddenly went dark. Her heart dropped a little as she turned; she grabbed the knife that was sitting on the counter next to her night stand. Weapon at the ready Astrid pulled back the rough woven curtains. Astrid let out her breath as she looked put the window, dropping her knife she leaned over her bed. Even though Hiccup had shown them the true nature of dragons, Astrid still got a little antsy when a shadow blocked light from her room. Astrid smiled at the blue Nadder that greeted her at her bed room window. "Hey Lux" Astrid said smiling.
The Nadder seemed to smile back as it purred. Astrid reached out and started to pet her Nadder gently on the head.
Astrid felt a warm feeling within her, nit from the sun she smiled "today will be a good day" she though excitedly. She ran outside, hopped onto Lux and flew off towards Hiccups house.

Hiccups eyes snapped open, the warm sun streamed through his small window lighting the small room. He rubbed his eyes as he sat up and slid his legs off the edge of his small bed. The boy looked down at his legs, no matter how many times he saw it, hiccup felt he'd never really be totally used to his leg being gone. His fingers crept over the bottom part of his stump. The pain was still there, but nowhere near as bad as it had been the first couple weeks. Hiccup had now gotten a little more accustomed to walking with his custom prosthetic he still had a little trouble getting around. Now different from the original one Gobber had designed, Hiccup could move around with relative ease due to his design. He had added a wider foot pad, about as wide as the average foot, maybe a little smaller, a second spring to increase shock absorption, and he had added a special feature, a hidden blade that Hiccup could activate by putting pressure on his heel. He was quite proud with his invention and it showed when he was asked about it. Hiccup grabbed his prosthetic strapping it firmly into place with leather straps. The top of the prosthetic that contacted his stump was lined with thick white fur, mostly to keep irritation at a minimum but served the double purpose as a liner to keep his leg warm in the harsh climate of Berk. Hiccup stood up testing his weight even though he knew the prosthetic would hold. As he left his room he thought of ways to ask Astrid on a date. Hiccup was a thinker, and a damn good one, but for all his good thoughts he sometimes lacked the ability to take action. He was worried he would choke and not be able to ask. As Hiccup reached the bottom of the stairs he heard a knock at the door. "Oh man" he thought nervously "here she comes". Hiccup advanced towards the door as fast as his legs would allow, he turned the handle and opened the door slowly.
He looked up at Astrid, who was slightly taller than him, he inhaled sharply. She was stunning. Her golden blonde hair lay perfectly as it usually did, across her forehead in the front and put into a tight weave in the back. Her eyes sparkled and seemed to dance in the morning sun light. Her smile so pure and flawless split her perfect lips. Hiccup smiled back awkwardly. "Hey Astrid" he said shakily running his hand through his mess of brown hair. "Hi Hiccup" Astrid replied smiling all the while.

So a little cheesy... maybe a little slow. First couple chapters usually are... build up and such ;) Anyways it would be much appreciated if you left a review for me! Next up... well... obviously chapter 2!
