"So, why don't we go first? My name's hiccup," said hiccup.
"And my name's Astrid," said Astrid.
"My name's hiccup," said mHiccup (m=mini)
"My name's Astrid," said mAstrid.
"Okay, first off, we need to come up with nickname's so we don't get confused," said hiccup.
"hmmm, why don't we call mini-you hickey?" suggested Astrid with a playful smile.
"Why?" asked hiccup with a horror-struck expression.
"cause, mini-you's just too cute to be called hic," she explained.
"fine, then mini-you's getting called asty," said hiccup.
"why?"
"cause, she's too cute to be called ast."
"ummm, I haf (they're 3) a kweshin, why awe dere dwagons?" asked hickey.
Astrid knelt down to him, "One day in the future, you're going to end the war by befriending toothless and killing the Red Death," she said, staring into his eyes.
"who's toofus?"
hiccup and Astrid laughed at the mispronunciation. Hiccup whistled. From his room toothless descended in a graceful glide. Hickey cowered in fear, hiding behind Astrid, whom he had grown quite fond of as off the last minute. Toothless eyed hickey, then hiccup, then hickey, then hiccup until he got dizzy.
"Woah, slow down bud, this is me, just…. Younger," explained hiccup chuckling at his dragons confused expression.
Toothless moved closer, hickey backed up, toothless wrapped his tail round him and gave him a lick. Hickey was screaming like a maniac, desperately trying to escape toothless.
"Shit!" cursed hiccup and scooped up hickey who was crying into his chest.
Toothless crooned, looking concerned.
"Nah bud, silly me I almost forgot about my childhood phobia of dragons," said hiccup, wrapping his arms tight around the weeping boy.
"Aw, hiccup," said Astrid, extending her arms.
"Its okay, I got this," said hiccup.
"Waz wrong with 'iccup?" asked asty.
"Nothing asty, he'll be fine," assured hiccup in a calming voice.
"Awr you weely oldew him?" she asked.
"Yeah," he chuckled.
"Wha 'appened to yer footh?" she asked.
"I lost it," he replied.
"How? Did you fowget it somewhere like yow mamma's helmet?" she asked.
"Nope," he said, popping the 'p', "I lost it in an explosion I almost died in."
at the word 'die' she began to cry (ooh! That rhymes).
She wrapped her arms round his prosthetic, "Pwease don't die, I wuv you!" she cried.
Astrid bent down to scoop her up, sobbing into her chest.
"Don't worry, he didn't die. Hiccup I think I should…"
"Yeah, no, really, its okay, we clearly need to comfort….."
"us."
"right. Us"
"So I'll see you…"
"At the great hall."
"Right. Well then, bye."
She left. Hiccup breathed out a sigh of relief, who knew babysitting themselves could lead to an awkward situation between him and the girl he loved? He took hickey to his room, motioning for toothless to stay back.
He set him down on his bed.
"Hey hickey, what's wrong?"
"Dwagons!"
"Awww, come on, they're really not that bad."
"Weely?"
"Yes, I promise."
"Okay."
"so, how's it?"
"Good."
"Snotlout bullying you?"
"awways."
"awww man, sucks."
"I know."
"So why don't we~"
hiccup was cut off by an explosion from outside. He looked out of his window and saw that the armory, as well as all the houses around it were on fire.
'uh-oh' he thought.
