Lilywood sat across from Hiccup at a table in the main dining room. They had been eating fish for the past ten minutes, Hiccup occasionally answering the villagers' questions about the new girl, and Lilywood glaring at him the entire time.

Most of the kids were not up yet, because it was their day off. So Hiccup was relieved when he got a break from Lilywood's stare - when Astrid plopped down beside him.

"Who's this?" Astrid asked.

"She's-"

"I can answer for myself," Lilywood butted in with another biting glance at Hiccup. "I'm Lilywood. Who're you?"

"I'm Astrid, Hiccup's girlfriend."

"I see." Lilywood looked over at Hiccup. "Looks like even kidnappers can have relationships. How nice."

"What is she talking about?" said Astrid, slightly aggravated.

"Dad found her unconscious in the ocean. She thinks we kidnapped her, so she won't tell us where she came from," Hiccup explained.

"Are you sure?" Astrid asked.

"Positive."

"I'm taller," Ruffnut said, arguing with her brother as usual.

"That's a lie. You know that I'm tal- oh, who's this cute lady," Tuffnut asked, noticing Lilywood.

Lilywood looked up, accidentally letting a smile slip through, then quickly feigned disgust.

"You're so retarded," Ruffnut exclaimed.

Tuffnut sat beside Lilywood, grinning until Ruffnut squeezed in between them.

"Hey!" Tuffnut shouted.

"Sorry. Did I get in between you and your little girlyfriend?" Ruffnut chuckled.

Lilywood snorted. "Yeah, never agreed to that."

"Would you consider?" Tuff asked, wide-eyed.

"Not even." Lilywood rolled her eyes and focused on her fish.

Tuff's expression was then saddened until Snotlout and Fishlegs came waltzing in.

"Hey, babe," Snotlout said, clicking his tongue at Ruffnut.

Ruffnut gave out a groan-yell.

"I missed you last night," he continued.

Lilywood looked up again, this time disgusted for real.

"I'm surrounded by idiots," Lilywood mumbled under her breath.

"Agreed," said Fishlegs. "Wait. Who are you?"

"Lilywood," Hiccup cut in before she had a chance. "Her name is Lilywood." He looked over at Lilywood who was giving him a eat-crap-and-die look. "Lilywood, this is Fishlegs, Snotlout, Ruffnut, and Tuffnut," he said, gesturing to each one of them.

"So, let me get this straight. You two are together-" she pointed between Hiccup and Astrid, then Ruffnut and Snotlout, "and you two?"

"Yes."

"NO!"

"Of course not, she's in love with me!"

"No. I. Am. NOT, FISHLEGS!"

"Oh, I see," said Lilywood. "Fanboys. And you..." She looked at Tuffnut who was absent-mindedly picking his ear. "...are a loner for eternity. Okay!"

Ruffnut cackled, and Astrid said, "Well, can't disagree with that."

"What?" Tuff looked up, saw nothing out of the blue, and went right back to picking his ear.

"Loser," Lilywood muttered.

"So," Astrid said, stealing Hiccup's plate of fish, "tell us a little about yourself. That's if you want to."

"I don't want to, but I see that all of you will just hover around me until I do, so okay. I'm human. I'm a girl. I have red hair."

"How about we start with the unobvious stuff," Hiccup cut in.

"Like what?"

"Where you're from; who this Alst person is; and why you insist on hating me!"

"First of all, I don't hate you. I'm just not very kind to people who say that I fell out of the sky and into the ocean and they rescued me, when in reality, you kidnapped me. Second of all, I already told you, I'm not telling you where I'm from. And third of all, Alst is not a person. He's a dragon. My dragon."

Fishlegs perked up. "Really? You ride dragons like us?"

"Yeeess...and I need to find him so I can get back to where I came from."

"Which is where?" Tuff asked, putting his hand on Ruff's face and pushing her backwards, scooting back beside Lilywood.

"Place you've never heard of that's for sure."

"Try us," Snotlout retorted.

"Hmm." Lilywood pretended to think and said, "Nope."

"Aww come on babe," said Tuff, wrapping his arm around her.

"I'm not your babe and no!" Fighting back a blush, Lilywood shrugged his arm off her shoulder.

"But why not?" Ruff asked, pushing her brother twice as hard as he did to her.

Lilywood stood up fiercely and said, "I'm not continuing this conversation," and walked out of the dining hall.

A/N: So now Lilywood has officially met the gang and most importantly Tuffnut. Yay! Happy day! Anyhoo, the contest is still ongoing, so don't forget to submit your ideas and fanart!

Thanks!
