( A/N: sorry about the previous chapter I had two files that were the same and I clicked on the wrong one I will update the rest of the chapter in this one to make it fit the story line...)
(Back on Berk)
The people of Berk had heard that Hiccup the promising had gone missing and had launched boats to find him, the teens, Gobber and a few of the other villagers stayed behind for defence, all the teens felt guilty because they all had done something to hurt him, but Astrid felt the most guilt, she had never really been there for Hiccup even though she had promised to when they were little but left him when they were six she could remember it quite clearly
/flashback/
Hiccup and Astrid were sitting on the cliffs watching the fishermen bring in the latest catch talking about the latest Dragon raid "...I'll become the best shieldmaiden in the whole of Berk and kill the night fury!" The young warrior exclaimed, little Hiccup loved the ferocious warrior next to him, strong, feisty and useful. Everything he wasn't in fact to him he was quite the opposite the only thing he was good at was smithing he had counted Gobber more of a father than his actual one, Stoick, Astrid looked at the boy next to her and smiled him, to her he was amazing; calm, compassionate, caring, he was also the only one who comforted her a year ago when the Flightmare took her uncle Finn. She had grown to like the boy and maybe, just maybe love him she then remembered what her mother had said last night.
/last night/
As Astrid walked in her mother greeted her to which she ignored her mind was on Hiccup her closest friend she ever had, her mother smiled and said "my, my you look like you have a lot on your mind daughter do you want to talk about it?" At hearing this Astrid's face grew red and she stuttered out "n-no it's fine just Hiccup." At this she internally groaned as her mother looked up and smiled and said "so it's about a boy, well the one you've caught right now seems to be the perfect one you can't go wrong with him as long as you look after him. Ha maybe one day you might even marry him! Such an honour really when you think of it, the chiefs wife now would give you the honour and respect you want Asta." The young girl glared at her mother for using that nickname that had been given to her but she thought about what her mother had said and it was true if she did eventually marry Hiccup she would get the honour and respect she wanted but also some one who loved and respected her, with that thought she walked into her bedroom and fell asleep the moment she laid her head on the bed.
/END FLASHBACKS/
When she deeply thought about it her mother was right, Hiccup would of been the perfect husband for her; he was never as obnoxious as Snotlout was and he was smart, never sprouting facts like 'legs does but definitely smart.
