"Well, isn't this sweet?" you heard a voice say as it pulled you to consciousness.

Looking around you saw Astrid standing over you. "Astrid?" You didn't know what was going on. You felt your pillow shift under your head and lifted your head to see what was going on. Your eyes met a drowsy, green pair and both of your immediately snapped to reality.

Sitting up quickly, you and Hiccup both started to try to explain what was going on. Astrid rolled her eyes, "I don't care what's going on between you two. That's your business. I'm just glad you two are alive."

You looked at Hiccup noticing how red he was and knowing you were just as red. You stood up, "How did you find us?"

Astrid folded her arms, "Actually, Snotlout found the smoke last night just before dark, but he couldn't lead us too it until this morning."

"So, who else is here? And how is Stormfly even flying? She shouldn't have been up for another week." Hiccup said from his place on the floor.

Astrid shook her head, "No one. I was the only one who could get into the cave, aside from Fishlegs or your dad. Only one dragon would fit into the cave, so we figured it was best to have me make two trips. Stormfly was up making all kinds of sounds last night. I don't know how but she seems to be doing fine now."

"Take him first," you said knowing Hiccup would say the same. "He needs to get to the healer. Once you get him there come back, but not until then."

Your sister wasn't one to question you when you had a determined look in your eye. "Alright."

"Alright? No! Take her down. I know what to do if a dragon comes around. She needs to get back," Hiccup tried to argue.

"That's not going to work. You're going back first and that's final." Knowing your strength, you easily picked Hiccup up and walked him over to Stormfly. You and Astrid got him on before she climbed on as well. "Remember, he goes to the healer before you come to get me."

Astrid nodded, "I'll make sure of it. Be careful out here. I'll be back as soon as I can."

You watched as they slowly disappeared. Were it not for Hiccup's injuries, Astrid would have been flying faster, but he couldn't hold on with only one arm. You could hear the sounds of dragons everywhere. Not many of them were sounds you could pick out. You gathered Hiccup's stuff and put all but the bowl in the rucksack. You walked the ledge with the bowl in your hand and went back to get more snow. When your returned you dumped the snow on the fire, "Guess there's no reason for this."

You placed the bowl in the rucksack and glanced down noticing Hiccup's prosthetic. You smiled and shook your head. To be honest, you couldn't blame him for doing stupid things. He was only trying to help. You turned the piece over in your hands, It had obviously been bent. You'd take it to Gobber after you got back if you could find him, or maybe you'd just leave it at the forge with a note. After all, how long had it been since you'd seen him? So much can change in ten years and you didn't know if he would look the same.

The sound of wings snapped you back to the present. Astrid and Stormfly landed just inside the cave, "Ready?"

You glanced around to make sure you hadn't left any of Hiccup's things before putting the rucksack on your back and the prosthetic under your arm. "Let's get out of here." You climbed up behind Astrid and before long you two were back in the village.

Astrid climbed off of Stormfly and started removing her saddle, "I'm going to take Stormfly home and check on Hiccup. Get his prosthetic to Gobber."

I nodded and started walking down the hill. You knew where the forge would be and could see a large rather round man working. You slowly walked in, "Gobber?"

The man turned around and smiled, "Astrid! What brings-" He cut himself off as he looked down at what was in your hands. "What did he do to himself this time?"

You smiled at the man, "He crushed himself behind a boulder."

"He's as clumsy as ever eh?" the man shook his head and took the object.

You shrugged, "I wouldn't know. I haven't been here in ten years."

The man's face scrunched up, "What are ya talkin' 'bout? Course ya-" He cut himself short as he looked you over, "I new there was something off! (Name)? Is that really you?"

You bowed mockingly, "In the flesh."

He laughed, "Well, aren't you a sight for sore eyes! I thought ya'd be at the healer's by now. Seems like you faired pretty well out there."

"Well, the skills to survive is definitely knowledge I have." You folded your arms and leaned on one of the tables.

"And more than that it seems. I saw your handy work on Hiccup's arm. You have skills with healing."

You scoffed, "His arm was nothing. You should have seen me set his leg." You quickly closed your mouth. You didn't want anyone to know what your skills were. The last thing you needed was for people to expect big things from you.

Gobber's eyes went wide, "You did what?"

You stumbled trying to come up with an excuse, "Well, I-, you see-"

He held up his hand, "Don't worry. Your secret's safe with me."

You sighed in relief, "You're a life saver Gobber."

He waved his hammer of a hand, "Ah, you're a good kid. I've kept secrets for Hiccup for many years. If I was going to open my mouth I would'a done it a long time ago."

"Oh, really? What kind of secrets?" you asked as you leaned toward him.

"Like how he had the biggest crush on Astrid when he was tiny. True, after they started dating I didn't have to keep the secret anymore, but it was fun tease him while it lasted." Gobber laughed.

You chuckled, "Did he ever say why he had a crush on her?" You folded your arms smiling.

"Oh, yeah," Gobber started as he put a piece of metal in the fire. "He went on and on about how she used to sit in the Great Hall with your parents and steal your father's axe and drag it across the floor."

Your smile quickly faded. "That's what made him have a crush on her? That's what started it?"

Gobber pulled out the piece and started to shape it, "Exactly. He knew she was strong and would be a good fighter and something just clicked in his little brain. He also remembers how she cut her shoulder pretty bad with it when she was old enough to pick it up. Oh, and how she got that gash in her forehead on the left side from Snotlout pushing her down on the bottom steps of the Great Hall. He'd talk about those little things for hours. To tell you the truth, I think I got more sleep listening to him tell stories than when I actually went home."

By this point you couldn't focus. You turned around and walked home without another word. If what Gobber said was true, then Hiccup had been wrong his whole life. When you were three you'd dragged you dad's axe out from under the table and tried to pick it up. You weren't strong enough and it only made you frustrated to try. You'd kicked it and started crying. By four years old you and Astrid could pick it up if you worked together, but you couldn't control it at all. You'd dropped it and cut your shoulder when the blade came down. To this day you still had the scar on your right shoulder. Luckily for you, the shirt you'd been wearing covered that shoulder.

You reached up and touched the scar on your forehead. It was on the left side and covered by your bangs. Snotlout had always pulled yours and Astrid's hair when you were small, but one day he decided to be the dumb little boy he was and push you down the stairs. Astrid had turned around and punched him in the face for it. You'd received a gash in your forehead that took months to heal. Most of the other kids couldn't tell you apart back then. Your mother dressed you in the same clothes and your personalities were very similar.

At age six you had been sent away. Being the young kids you all were, the story had been that you had died since no one expected you to come back. It wasn't hard to make everyone believe. After a year, hardly anyone remembered the second little blonde with double braids. That was why Astrid had become so tough skinned. Your father had made her act like life hadn't changed. She'd become hardened because of it. Letting people in wasn't what she did, but after she gave Hiccup a chance, he'd stolen her heart and she'd opened up. You could see why too. He was kind-hearted, loyal, friendly, forgiving, and an all around good friend. He'd swept her off her feet.

Sorry, this isn't my best chapter, but it is very revealing right? lol Hope you all still enjoyed it. Originally, This and the next chapter were one long chapter that I couldn't seem to find an end for. I ended up having to because I was at over 3,000 words and still wasn't done.

Here's a shout out to the reviewers!

TheTripleThreat: They just broke up so truly it is their business, but it doesn't mean she isn't mad.

starwish: I'm so glad you like it. I do have other stories on this account. I don't have any other HTTYD stories though. I don't really want to start any more on the same sort of topic until I finish this one, that way I don't stop working on it or combine them.

Light to Shadow: You always have a funny review. I'm happy you enjoyed it. I'll have the next one up before long.

A. D. S.: I'm sure you won't be disappointed. I wish I could come see your show. We did Beauty and the Beast last year in my advanced acting course and I loved it.
