Hi! I'm very sorry about the long wait! But here it finally is: chapter 10.

Hope you'll like it!

A devilish smile came over Ruff's face: "I dare you to kiss Hiccup on the lips..."

The room fell silent. All eyes except Hiccup's (Who was busy looking at the floor) were turned to Astrid. Her own eyes were wide open. The smile she previously had was absolutely gone from her face while she stared at Ruffnut.

Ruffnut, on the other hand, seemed pretty pleased with herself.

The silence was getting unbearable until…

"Guys! Did you miss me, cause I sure missed you!" The door swung open and in came the one and only… Dagur the Deranged.

Looking around the room he saw a lot of bewildered faces. "I'm sorry! Am I missing something?"

"Dagur! You're here … um … early!" answered Hiccup. "The other guests are going to arrive tomorrow because the wedding ceremony takes place in the evening, but it's good to see you." He was a little bit surprised to see Dagur there so early. But then again, it's Dagur we are talking about.

Dagur looked at Heather: "Yeah, I wanted to spend some time with you guys before the wedding."

Heather smiled at Dagur: "It's actually kinda nice of you, brother."

"Anything for you sis! So, what were you guys doing?" asked Dagur and sat down next to Hiccup, giving his 'brother' a handshake.

"We're playing Dare!" answered an overexcited Tuffnut.

Dagur clapped his hands like a little child. "I love that game! Okay, my turn, my turn!"

Ruffnut started to complain that it was her turn but Dagur cut her off:

"I don't care nut girl! Wait... what happened to your hair? Ah nevermind. Hmm," he looked around the room to choose his victim but his eyes landed on Astrid, who was still staring at Ruffnut.

"Who's the new one?" he asked Hiccup, gesturing towards Astrid.

The young chief looked at Astrid: "Um, A-Astrid, this is Dagur. Dagur, meet Astrid."

"You look familiar!" said Dagur but shrugged it off. "Ah well. Soo, I dare Snotface to… call Meatlug fat!" he laughed evilly. The others soon followed him.

Snotlout paled but did as he was told. A moment later the brown gronckle went from cute to angry and soon Snotlout was pinned between Meatlug and the floor.

"Help!" Apparently, it isn't a nice feeling to have a dragon as heavy as a bunch of stones on top of you.

"You-you will pay for that!" growled Snotlout when Meatlug had finally freed him. Dagur only laughed at that.

After some stretching and swearing, Snotlout was finally able to talk: "I dare Astrid to punch Dagur on the face."

Not knowing how strong Astrid is, Dagur just continued laughing.

Astrid smirked: "You're right Heather! This game is pretty cool!" Expect the dare Ruffnut asked me to do. She thought to herself.

Astrid walked up to Dagur and punched him like she had punched Snotlout. Dagur sprawled onto the floor. Unlike Snotlout, he didn't lose his consciousness. "What is it with girls being so strong and violent?" asked the Chief of the Berserkers while rubbing his bleeding nose. The others laughed at that but soon continued playing.

In the morning

There was a knock on the door. No response. A violent knock on the door followed. Still nothing. Finally, the door swung open.

One of the villagers looked at the scene in front of her. Nine people were sleeping on the floor. The one who had opened the door had been Toothless.

The villager took a deep breath and yelled: "WAKE UP!"

The once sleeping eyes shot open, searching for the one who had yelled.

Turning to Heather, the villager spoke: "The guests are already here and you must go to the bath-house. NOW!"

Heather gave Eret a kiss then stood up and walked out of the door. "I'm coming, I'm coming!" she said, then soon they were gone.

"I think I should get myself ready as well before they come back," said Eret and left.

The room fell silent. The only sound was Snotlout's snoring.

After some time Hiccup stood up and turned to Astrid: "I'll head home. Do you want to come with me?"

"Sure," answered Astrid. She walked out of the house, Hiccup and Toothless following.

After walking in uncomfortable silence, Hiccup took a stab at the issue causing all the tension: "Astrid I'm really sorry about what happened at the cove and the dragon training thing but please forgive me! I will do anything! Just forgive me! Please?"

Astrid sighed: "Hiccup, I can't not forgive you! You saved my life and I've acted like a jerk. I'm the one who should beg for your forgiveness."

Hiccup started to complain: "But Astrid…"

"No, really! I've thought about it a lot. You've been so nice to me but I just yell at you! I'm sorry. How can I make it up for you?"

The young chief looked surprised. Very surprised and silent.

Astrid looked a little irritated. "Hiccup, say something!"

Hiccup smiled at her: "Let's just say that we both are idiots and forget what happened between us. Deal?" He reached out his hand and without thinking, Astrid shook it. However before Hiccup could've pulled his hand away, Astrid pulled him closer and gave his cheek a little kiss.

"Deal!" she said and walked away, leaving a bewildered Hiccup to watch her go. Smiling and blushing like crazy, he touched his cheek, astounded that Astrid had just kissed him.
