Astrid opened her eyes and yawned. hiccup and her had been working up till 2am and Astrid was exhausted. She rub her eyes wearily and swung her legs out of her bed. Wait a second, bed?! Astrid knew she didn't have a bed! Various thoughts swirled threw her suddenly awake brain. Kidnappers...Berk...Kidnappers...Outcasts...Kidnappers...Trolls...Kidna- wait trolls?! Great she was loosing her mind as well.
Looking at the sleeping form of Stormfly, she felt comforted but the fact that the Nadder was not in any distress in the slightest. No danger. Astrid gave a loud sigh of relief which was cut short. What if they drugged her into falling asleep. Things were taking a turn for the worse...
"Astrid!" Called a strangely cheery voice.
"huh?" Came her drowsy reply.
"I made breakfast Astrid! Real breakfast! Do you want it?"
Satisfied that there was no danger, Astrid replied with a happier "Coming!" Before fixing her hair.
"and there is some chicken for Stormfly!"
He said the magic word. As soon as the sapphire dragon heard the word leave the boy's mouth, she was up and ready for action. She barrelled through the do or and down the stairs.
Astrid noticed that the stairs, door and bed were all new and made a mental note to ask, or rather demand, answers from smell of fresh food hit her in the face and her stomach growled with excitement. She sat down at the table and wolfed down the fried eggs. Then, she stood up and stuck and accusing finger out a Hiccup.
"You have some explaining to do young man!" She growled.
Hiccup opened his mouth and...was knocked onto the floor by Toothless.
"Hiccup! I wanna go flyiiiiiiiiiing!"
"In a minute Toothless! Hiccup and I are trying to have a civilised conversation about WHAT THE HELL?!" Astrid yelped in surprise.
"toothless did you just talk?" Hiccup asked in shock.
"Of course he did!"
"Like Stormy said, 'of course I did'"
"my name is StormFLY!"
"Sure thing Stormy!"
"Toothless! Stop teasing Stormfly!"
"how about we all go on a flight and figure out what is going on?" Suggested Astrid.
"So we spent the rest of the day and most of the night building and furnishing the house?"
"Yes"
"then I fell asleep?"
"Yes"
"and you continued working?"
"Yes!"
astrid leaned over to Hiccup and punched him on the shoulder. Hard.
"w-w-what?!" Hiccup yelped.
"that's for working without me!"
she then gave him a small kiss on his cheek.
"and that's for everything else!"
they flew on but soon Astrid noticed three bodies on the beach.
"Hiccup!" Shouted Astrid as she pointed at the bodies.
With a wordless nod, the auburn haired boy flew towards the still shapes on the vast beach.
Down at the beach, Hiccup and Astrid hopped off their dragons and ran over to the bodies. Astrid gave a sigh of relief when she saw the steady rise and fall of their chests.
"Hurry up then Hiccup!"
"Yes Hiccup, please hurry-I don't like the look of those clouds!"
Hiccup picked up two bodies and laid them on Toothless' back whilst Astrid laid one on Stormfly's. The teenagers took to the sky and headed back to their house. Where Hiccup put logs in the fireplace (which Toothless lit) and the bodies were then laid near the fire.
About an hour later, they began to wake up. "Super! Crazy!" one hissed at the awaking twins.
"Huh?" they both mumbled.
"Woe where are we?" asked Super who had been revealed as the girl.
"Dunno, maybe there was an explosion cause that would be-"
"AWESOME!" they yelled and smashed their heads together.
"Shut up guys! We don't know where we are!" hissed the sensible one.
"Hi!" said Hiccup brightly.
They all screamed.
"Hiccup! Don't scare our guests!"
"Sorry 'Strid…" mumbled Hiccup.
"Anyway. We found you on our beach and were wondering what the hell you were doing there, mind telling us?"
"We ran away from our village as we were always bullied there and then our boat sank because Super and Crazy put a giant hole in it!" he finished glaring at the twins.
"Quite the story you've got there! We ran away from our village as well and we built this house and the forge so you're welcome to stay if you want!" Hiccup smiled.
"Really?" the boy asked.
"Even if we destroy stuff?" asked the twins.
"If you try not to do it too often!"
They all smiled and looked into the fire. "Why did you two runaway?" asked Crazy.
Hiccup and Astrid explained to them about Toothless who, upon hearing his name, charged into the room with Stormfly startling the washed up teens. Hiccup calmed them down and they were soon petting the dragons showing no fear at all.
"It's getting late, we should head to bed. Twins, go upstairs and to the right and…..wait, what's your name?" Astrid asked
"Erik."
"And Erik go to the left," finished Hiccup.
They yawned and did as they were told. Astrid turned around and curled up with Hiccup on the sofa. Hiccup's heart was going so fast he thought it would burst out of his chest! Astrid was sleeping next to him willingly! Eventually he fell asleep and dreamed happy dreams about he and Astrid as well as some slightly disturbing dreams about Astrid. What?! A guy's gotta dream!
The next morning everyone wolfed down breakfast and started building the new houses. It was past evening when they finished. It would have taken a lot longer if the dragons hadn't helped so Hiccup was once again thankful for being friends with Toothless. Suddenly, a zippleback and a monstrous nightmare appeared out of nowhere. (how coincidental) The Nightmare flew to Erik and began nuzzling him. Erik was shocked but petted the dragon in a hope that this dragon would be his very own. Meanwhile, the zibbleback had done the same thing to the twins.
"Looks like your stables will be in use tonight!" beamed Astrid as Hiccup threw the teens a fish which they gave to their new dragons.
"Explosion, your name is Explosion." Announced Erik whilst his nightmare puffed out his chest proudly.
The twins were arguing over names for their dragon.
"BANG"
"BOOM"
"BANG"
"BOOM"
"GUYS!" yelled Hiccup.
"The dragon can be called Bang AND Boom!"
The twins stared at each other before nodding and stroking the head that belonged to them.
"At this rate we might as well make a village!" joked Hiccup.
"That's a great idea!" exclaimed Erik.
Soon everyone bar Hiccup had agreed to make the village.
"I was joking!" he said clearly exasperated.
"Yeah but no one cares!" yelled Toothless.
Hiccup sighed in defeat. "Who's gonna be chief?" he asked.
"YOU" everyone yelled.
Once again Hiccup sighed. This was going to be a hard life.
That was the start of the Strike Tribe.
