Chapter 3: More Unexpected Changes
"C'mon Astrid! Get yourself together! They aren't completely changed! They aren't completely changed!" Astrid whispered to herself. Oh! Loki! Just slap me now!
"Astrid! Check this out!"
"Oh gods! Hiccup…" Astrid stopped her tracks, trying not to turn around. No! Please Odin, he didn't changed one bit! Not one bit! Stupid son of a half troll!
Astrid turned around, and saw Hiccup with just the normal look and self, she sighed in relief and approached the guy "Alright, what do you want to show me—? Gah!"
Hiccup brought out a flame sword and started twisting it around, pretending to slash somebody "Isn't this awesome?!" Hiccup asked, happily
"Not really!" Astrid said, still a little nervous about the sword "How did you do that? Doesn't it burn up?"
"No, it's a special flame and iron if I do say so myself" Hiccup said "Oh, and check this trick I made!"
Hiccup pushed a button on the sword, making it retract the flame and pulled the other end of the sword, spraying a Monstrous Nightmare saliva and pushed the button in the sword again, making it explode with a Hideous Zippleback gas, Astrid covered herself with her arms and looked at Hiccup who had a burnt ash face, he looked scrunched up a bit, Astrid approached Hiccup "What was that?!"
"Well, one end coats the blade in Monstrous Nightmare saliva, the other sprays Hideous Zippleback gas" Hiccup said, trying to wipe off ash in his face with his hands
Astrid handed a handkerchief to Hiccup, he grabbed it and wiped off his face "Thank you Astrid…"
"That's cool, but then, you gotta work on using that without it hitting your face" Astrid said
"That's what I'm working on right now…" Hiccup said "And! Also I was thinking of maybe creating a gliding suit—"
"A gliding suit?" Astrid got a little curious
"Yeah, so I can soar the skies like a dragon!" Hiccup waved his hands up wondering the skies, looking far up away
"Okay, Hiccup, I hate to be a little villain but, we have been soaring the skies for almost 5 years, we've been feeling the free wind against us, learning about the world in a height so high in the back of a dragon that was once our worst enemies…"
"So what's your point?"
"My point is… we've been feeling what it feels like to be free, like dragon… feeling the wind against us, but that doesn't mean that you have to glide down the skies, with Toothless in your side, feeling that YOU ARE A DRAGON YOURSELF" Astrid narrowed her eyes, slightly hunched forward against Hiccup with her arms on her waist
"But that is the reason why I wanted to make the gliding suit, Astrid"
Astrid turned her anxious face into a dumbfounded one, she went back to her normal posture and looked away "Oh…"
"I want to feel what a dragon feels to fly, gliding and soaring the skies like it's their own"
"Hmm… fine then, I'll leave you to it…" Astrid was about to walk away
"T-thanks for the intimidation…" Hiccup said
Astrid then, did a quick, strong punch on Hiccup's arm, he fell down, Astrid began laughing "A-a-augh! Thanks for that also! That hurt a lot…"
Astrid shook her head and left with her axe by the table, Hiccup stared at Astrid for a moment and went back to work, Toothless approached Hiccup with a confused growl "C'mon bud, we still have a lot of work to do with all this stuff"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Oh! Thank gods, he didn't change yet, I don't people to change just because one changed its look. Astrid thought for herself
Astrid caught in the corner of her eye is Snotlout flirting with a girl, then she managed to capture too the girl walked out on him, Snotlout felt a little disappointed them he saw Astrid and ran to her
"Hey baby…"
Astrid reflexively punched Snotlout in the face, making him fall to the ground
"You've gotten… s-stronger A-Astrid" Snotlout wheezed
Astrid lets out a disgusted sigh and walked away, Snotlout didn't even bother to move and stayed there, bathing in the sun, Astrid looked around and saw people minding their own business, then out of nowhere she bumped into Stoick, she looked up and backed away immediately "Uh… oh… sorry, sir"
"No, no it's fine… Astrid, have you seen Hiccup anywhere?"
"Ugh, I saw him at the forge, why?"
"There is something I need to discuss with him, actually me and Gobber has something to discuss with him" Stoick said, walking past Astrid in a chiefly tone and posture "Thank you, Astrid"
Astrid nodded, though Stoick didn't mind her nod, she looked back at where she came from, the forge and looked out-front. Oh Thor…
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Son?"
The forge exploded inside scattering smoke everywhere, Stoick covered himself from the explosion and took his arm away and waved off the smoke out of his face, he approached Hiccup in the middle of the forge who was coughing, waving out the smoke from his face, and once he got near his son, Hiccup looked at his father a little nervous "H-hey dad! N-nice of you to come visit the forge…" Hiccup lets a small chuckle before coughing one time again
"What have you been up to?"
"Ugh, something new, dad… I was making a sword…" Hiccup chuckled before going to the table near him, Toothless peeked through
"A sword, that's great… can I see it, son?" Stoick asked
Hiccup brought out a metal stick and Stoick had hoped for better, he looked down at the piece of metal and grabbed it slowly from his son's hand "What a nice decoration for a handle… is this all you've progressed so far?"
"No, dad, I was actually finish with it" Hiccup said, approaching his dad "Fixed up a few couple of errors and it's all good"
Hiccup was smiling up to his dad with his hands on his back, Stoick did one last look to his son and the metal he was holding, then Hiccup added "P-press the button on the front-side…"
Stoick did as he was told and appeared a flaming blade, Stoick marvelled at the blade and looked at his son "This is incredible, son…"
"Thank you, dad..." Hiccup grabbed the sword away from his dad slowly and pushed the button again, retracting it, he placed it on the table
"But what was the explosion just now?" Stoick asked
"Ah! That is something this handy sword can do…" Hiccup said "This can spray Monstrous Nightmare saliva and explodes it with Hideous Zippleback gas…"
"Hmm, good thinking, son… but…"
"But what now, dad?" Hiccup asked, a little sarcastically
"You, me, and Gobber tonight at our house, we are going to talk and do something important, especially you" Stoick said, as his hands on his hips
"Ugh! Dad! Seriously?! C-can we just-just do that another day?! I got more work to do!" Hiccup chased his dad, who was exiting the forge
"No, we are doing this tonight and tonight only, be there! We need you on this" Stoick said, facing his son one last time before leaving the forge
As Stoick left the the forge, Hiccup looked at Toothless who was already beside him and shouted an annoyed shout, but he slipped, falling on his back, his prosthetic leg slipped from the ground due to his enraged shout, Toothless helped Hiccup in standing up "Thanks, bud…"
Hiccup sighed. What does dad want now?! I hope I'm not gonna go acting chief again, or even worse, TALK ABOUT BEING A CHIEF!

"Hey easy girl, remember, I'm still riding you" Astrid joked
Stormfly landed on a nerby sea stack and Astrid jumped out of Stormfly and sat on the sea stack, she looked at her dragon who nudged her "Hey…"
Astrid rubbed Stormfly's cheek and smiled "I wonder Stormfly, did everyone changed when I changed my look?"
Stormfly squawked and licked Astrid who laughed push Stormfly's face out of hers "I'm serious, Stormfly, do you think everyone changed their appearance because I changed my appearance? Because everyone's been starting to look different since I changed what I wore, the only ones I didn't get to see changed in appearance in the gang is Hiccup… c'mon Stormfly…"
Stormfly squawked again, but more quiet and softer, she tilted her head and Astrid laughed "Well now I'm crazy talking to a dragon that doesn't feel what I feel right now" Astrid said to her dragon, then she looked at the horizon and thought of something "Well, I may just have to talk to them about this… and I know just what to do, Stormfly! Let's go!"
Astrid mounted Stormfly and they flew off
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Hiccup!"
"Oh! Hey there guys! W-what a surprise today…" Hiccup lets out a nervous chuckle
"Oh, Hiccup, there's something we want to talk to you about…" Snotlout said, putting an arm around Hiccup (in a manly way) walking to the gang
"W-what is it?"
Snotlout lets go of Hiccup only to see the rest of the gang beside him
"Well, guys, you all look great in your change…"
"Yeah… thanks for that…"
"What do you guys want to talk about?" Hiccup asked
"Hey, Hiccup, don't play dumb! You're the only one who haven't changed their look yet" Snotlout said
"So? What's wrong with having their look not changed?" Hiccup asked
"Nothing wrong! Nothing wrong!" Ruffnut said
"All we're saying is… that you won't resist in having to change your look" Fishlegs said, patting Hiccup's shoulder "It will come, that the whole gang will change"
"Seriously?! Are we talking about this right now?"
"C'mon Hiccup, you won't resist changing" Tuffnut said "Cause we look cooler than you"
"Oh! Guys, c'mon, I won't change my look because everyone else did!" Hiccup said
"Oh, you will change, we know it!" Tuffnut said, pointing both index fingers at Hiccup
"Yeah, today or tomorrow or another day, we will see you change" Ruffnut said
"S-seriously guys, I won't change anything about myself just because my friends did the same" Hiccup said "I'll just see you guys tomorrow at the academy…"
Hiccup continued to walk to his, the gang moved their heads, following Hiccup, then after a while Astrid landed behind them, the gang looked behind and saw Astrid, dismounting Stormfly
"Oh, hey Astrid…"
Astrid looked at them and smiled, then she looked at Stormfly at back at the gang and smiled more like devilishly…
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Son, you're already here…"
Hiccup tried to sneak away from this discussion that Stoick talked about, Gobber was already in the table with a box with stuff, Hiccup lets go of his 'sneak away' act and walked to the table with a guilty face, he sat down beside Gobber and Stoick was just about to talk when Hiccup interrupted him, standing at the table, slamming his hands down
"Dad! Can you give me a little more freedom from this whole chief thing?! I'm only just 19 turning 20 and I'm still young and weak to lead such a town of big strong Vikings! All I can ever do is train the dragons and lead the academy for this while, I'm not yet ready to be stuck here, planning on battle strategies and telling people of they should do, I can't be of any help with fishing sometimes and now you entrusted me with this responsibility?! Dad! C'mon! At least give me more years to be free and roam the skies on Toothless, discovering new islands and dragons! Dad! Please?"
Stoick and Gobber stared at Hiccup and then they laughed, they laughed so hard, they almost threw their cups in the air, Hiccup did nothing but give a confused stare at both laughing men at the table "Ugh, dad? Gobber? What? Are you laughing because of what I said?"
"Well, most of it!" Gobber said in between laughs
Hiccup lets out a grunt and left the table, and before he stepped on the stairs, Stoick stopped him, controlling his laughter "Wait, son! That's not what we're here to talk about…"
Hiccup looked back at the table and sat down beside Gobber again, Stoick cleared his throat "Son, those chief matters will be in another time, but for now, this is what we're talking about…"
Stoick gestured Gobber who brought up the box beside him to the table, Hiccup peeked in the box and saw some supplies and kits he thought he'd never see again "A-augh, d-dad? W-what are you gonna do?"
Stoick smiled at his son and looked at Gobber who nodded at him and looked at Hiccup "It's time…"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Ugh! Astrid, why'dya brought us here early in the morning?" Ruffnut asked
"Why are we training so very early here at the academy?" Snotlout asked
"We aren't…" Astrid said, with arms crossed
"What do you mean? You said, Hiccup asked us to attend here at the academy at 6 in the morni—" Fishlegs was cutted
"I made it up…" Astrid said
Everyone lets out an annoyed grunt, Snotlout hurriedly went to Hookfang and mounted him "C'mon Hookfang, let's get out of here and some more beauty rest!"
Before Hookfang took off, Snotlout looked at Astrid who did the jazz hands signalling 'Not so fast!', Snotlout looked at the gate and saw Stormfly guarding the closed gate, very sharply, everyone else took notice
"Astrid! Get us out of here! We want to sleep!"
"Only if you answer this question!" Astrid said
"Augh!" Everyone let out an annoyed grunt at Astrid
Astrid just felt proud and lucky for herself for thinking this plan, she approached and sighed, and before she began talking, Tuffnut interfered "Oh! Oh! I know this one! The password is… Deadly Nadder!"
Astrid let's out an annoyed sigh and looked back at the gang "Since I've changed my style of appearance, you guys started to look different too, I don't know if I'm crazy but I think you guys changed your appearances because I changed mine, is what I think corrected?"
"You're thinking too highly of yourself, Astrid…" Ruffnut said, walking with Astrid
"Why'dya think that?"
"We changed because we are growing up, we feel like we have to dress up like more of an appropriate Viking" Fishlegs said, walking at the other side of Astrid
"So, all of you agreed to that kind of changing?" Astrid asked
"Yeah, we did, because it feels like our looks are getting drained, we looked like we are getting a little old-fashioned, we wanna look new, strong and more interesting… then all the sudden you changed before we able to tell you, and then we just sped out on getting ourselves changed" Snotlout said
"Thanks, Snotlout, you just said it wholly" Astrid said sarcastically "Wait, you were gonna tell me?"
"Yeah, the same day you changed…" Ruffnut said
"Hmm, that's a nice idea for you guys of changing yourselves because you know that we're getting older" Astrid managed to give a small chuckle at the end
"Wait, we're getting older?" Tuffnut asked
Ruffnut punched his brother and Tuffnut fell to the ground, then he jumped and tackled his sister to the ground, they began wrestling on the ground, Astrid rolled her eyes and shook her head
"Wait! Night Fury alert" Fishlegs pointed up
Astrid hurried to open the gate of the academy, then she ran back to the gang, then Toothless landed inside the academy, the gang covered their eyes from the gust of wind and looked back at the dragon, then dismounted a man that they didn't knew before
"Okay, who are you?"
"I know this is a little surprising, even Toothless didn't know me and nearly shot me with plasma blast, but we can talk about this!"
Then out nowhere, a dagger flew directly at the guy, but he dodged it as quickly as he could and looked at Fishlegs who was feeling rather guilty in throwing it at the guy beside Toothless "Seriously, Fishlegs?"
"Woah, you look more awesome than Dagur! I like you! In… a manly way!" Snotlout said
Fishlegs whimpered a bit and hid the next dagger behind him, then the guy approached the gang with a charismatic flair, then out of nowhere, Astrid threw her axe to the guy with a fierce look, the guy dodged the axe quickly as he could and looked back at the axe and saw it hit a barrel, he looked back at Astrid
"Tell me who you are before I pound you into bits? Why are you riding Toothless? And how did you know all of this place?!" Astrid looked fiercer, holding another axe
"Seriously guys? You can't recognize your ol' pal Hiccup?"
"Okay, I take back what I said just now…" Snotlout said "Wait?! You're Hiccup?!"
Astrid looked slowly dumb-founded and lowered the axe down, the rest of the gang gasped, Hiccup looked back at Toothless and back at the gang
"Ugh you can't be Hiccup"
"Why Tuffnut?" Hiccup asked
"Cause he is a talking fishbone, a dim-wit, and scrawny" Tuffnut said "He can't be… all… this!"
"But you just gestured the all of me?" Hiccup said
"Yeah, exactly!" Tuffnut said
"Idiot! Fishbone and scrawny are the same!" Ruffnut punched his brother
"Thanks Tuffnut, for your characterizing" Hiccup said, rather sarcastically
"What's with all this?!" Astrid exclaimed
"I know you guys think the same thing… why did I change my appearance—"
"Hah! I knew you wouldn't resist changing! We knew it that you wanted to look cool or even cooler than us! I knew it! I just knew it!" Snotlout said
"Woah, a new armor, a new face…" Ruffnut said, rather exasperated
"Not to mention, a new weapon he has been working on" Astrid said
"You been preparing for your change Hiccup, I gotta say!" Snotlout said
"Okay guys! Just hear me out!" Hiccup said "Last night, dad and Gobber talked to me about changing my appearance to look more like a decent Viking… then suddenly they grabbed me and changed all of my look in one-shot, of course it's a little insane but that's what they did to me! Cause they said that I wasn't looking like one decent Viking, but rather a kid"
"Well, considering how the chief's son's friends have changed their appearance within one week, looking more mature and oh! Looking cooler—"
"And don't forget awesome-er!" Tuffnut said
"Shut up!" Ruffnut hissed at Tuffnut
"Okay! Looking cooler… and awesome-er" Astrid looked at Tuffnut annoyed and back to Hiccup "He felt that his son must change his appearance too in order to see his son looking to stand out and be called a more appropriate Viking AND a dragon trainer…"
"That's about it… nice hunch" Hiccup scratched his head "But seriously guys, I didn't want to change my appearance and literally when I woke up, I found this new clothes than my usual and seeing myself in the reflection of the water, I didn't know what to say…"
"But why did you let them change you into something new, huh?" Tuffnut asked, with persuasion
The gang looked at Tuffnut with an aggravated look, Tuffnut looked at the gang "What? That question did have a point!" Tuffnut explained sarcastically
Hiccup sighed "I can't do anything about it, he forced to just stay still while him and Gobber did the job!"
"So we're just gonna be stuck with that dramatic flair? Almost every day of our lives? Living with that new sick look and expect us to like that?" Astrid was more irritated. Loki, just kill me now… I don't care anymore!
"D-dramatic flair?" Hiccup asked
"Yes!" Astrid said in an irritated-drastic tone, breathing in and out
"C-can we just continue with training here? We've got about a lot of practicing to do!" Hiccup asked
"Yes! WE can start practicing!" Astrid said in a more irritated-drastic tone, breathing heavily. Loki! Take me away now please?! Everybody changed! Especially that son of a half-troll talking fishbone!
Astrid threw another axe directly at Hiccup, and he dodged it, only making the axe landing on the same barrel as before, right beside the axe thrown earlier
"Astrid!"
"That felt better…" Astrid said, breathing sharply
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Hope you like Hiccup's new change, I seriously liked the part where Astrid threw her axe at Hiccup… I was laughing… I've been wanting to an axe at somebody… Astrid did that for me!

Yep, I'm evil and violent like Astrid
