Heyo! Here's another one-shot from yours truly! I got a whole bunch of advice and requests, and I want to thank everyone for it! This story is also a request! I thought that we all needed a happier story, instead of all the dark, sad stuff that I've been throwing at you, although I see that a lot of you like it. I will write another sad chapter next, cause why not? Anyway, enjoy!

hiccstridhumour: you should do a one shot during rtte season 5, where an old tribe is coming for a peace treaty and the chief's daughter starts flirting with Hiccup and starts insulting Astrid, and then Hiccup tells the girl to back off and defends Astrid - since they're dating and all now.

Love the idea! I've seen this prompt often, but decided to do it anyway! Sorry for any clichés! Thanks!

Chapter 11: Green Monster

Astrid's P.O.V

"Hiccup? Hiccup?" I called for Hiccup as I searched his hut. He was nowhere to be seen. He had promised me that we would do some fighting in the arena, and now I couldn't find him. Typical. He was always busy inventing, flying, or training. I didn't mind it though. Except for when he had rescheduled his promise for the last week.

I understood that he was busy. We were all busy. But the matter of fact was, he was working himself too hard. He needed to spend time with his friends... and me. He needed to relax.

I marched out of his hut, and back out into the chilly fall air. Winter was on its way. The way the clouds got all gray and completely covered the sky, told me that the snow was coming. Hopefully that would mean less attacks from hunters. It was hard to sail, and fly for that matter, in all the snow and heavy winds.

I decided to walk down to the clubhouse and see what the others were doing. Playing maces and talons. Snotlout paced with a frustrated expression as his team mate (Tuffnut) made another bad move. Fishlegs and Ruffnut smirked as they watched their friend slowly lose the games.

Fishlegs slammed the piece onto the table and started laughing and hugging Ruffnut as Tuffnut sat in horror and shock that he had lost.

"Come on Tuff! You could've taken out half of their armada! Half!" Snotlout choked out, clearly embarrassed about the loss.

"Hey guys." I spoke, clearing my throat to get their attention.

"Oh hey Astrid! You want to play?" I shook my head.

"Not right now. I'm looking for Hiccup. Have your seen him?" Fishlegs shrugged. The twins were on the floor, rolling around, hitting each other in the head.

"I thought I saw him at the stables." Snotlout spoke. I nodded and hurried out of the room.

"I'll give you guys a heads up, if I come by the stables! I don't want to see any of that kissy crud!" Snotlout yelled as I jumped on Stormfly. I shot a glare at him. He put his hands up as if he was innocent.

"To the stables girl." Stormfly chirped and launched herself off into the sky. The cold air whipped past me, making me shiver a little. Luckily, it only took a minute to reach the stables.

I entered the stables to find Hiccup tinkering with Toothless's saddle.

"Afternoon m'lady. What can I do for you?" I stopped in front of him and tapped my foot on the wooden floor. I crossed my arms.

"You forgot." His head shot up. He knew exactly what he forgot.

"Oh... Sorry Ast. I got caught up. We can go now if you want."

"No, no. If you're busy that's fine." I said kneeling next to him handing him a small bolt for the saddle.

"I just want to make sure you're not wearing yourself into the ground. You need time to relax too, you know."

"Yeah, I know." He paused for a moment to twist in the bolt.

"I'm done with Toothless's saddle. We can go now." I looked at him.

"You're sure you're done?" He nodded and smiled, pulling me by the hand out the door. He were almost to the arena when a little terror landed on his shoulder. Hiccup pulled out the note, confused on what it might be about.

"Who's it from?"

"... My dad. He says a tribe is coming for some peace treaty, and he wants the riders home for it." I shrugged.

"Guess we're going home for the weekend."

"Yeah, I guess so. I'll go tell the others... oh but us... fighting in the arena... I-"

"Don't worry about it. This is more important. We can practice at Berk." He nodded and pecked me on the cheek, before running off the the club house to tell the rest of the gang. I put my hands on my hips and laughed.

...

"Finally!" Snotlout exclaimed as Berk came into our view.

"Race you there!" Snotlout screamed as he sped away on Hookfang. We laughed. I pushed Stormfly faster as the rest of us raced to see who would reach the great hall first... of course Hiccup was the one to win.

I landed Stormfly gracefully and let her run off to play. I chuckled as she toppled Toothless and waited for him to tackle her back.

"I wonder where my dad is?" I shrugged, and right on cue, came the booming voice of Stoick the Vast.

"Hiccup! Astrid! I'm glad you guys could make it! The Chief has a younger daughter, about your age. I want you two to show her around, make her feel welcome. All that good stuff. Hiccup! I need you and Astrid meet them at the docks with me. As future chief and, well... Astrid as..."

Stoick trailed off. I laughed and Hiccup blushed.

"As future general of Berk!" I said proudly as a joke. Hiccup laughed and Stoick smiled. I didn't know if he knew that I was joking or not.

"Ah-ha. Keep that dream within reach lass. I wouldn't be surprised if you made it there." I chuckled. Our conversation was briefly stopped by an enormous, roaring sound of a horn.

"They're here. Well, we should go see them! Come on." Stoick made his way down to the docks, with me and Hiccup on his heels. The entire time I thought about this girl. What would she be like? A new friend? Good at combat? All warrior like? I hoped so.

I smiled a little nervously at Hiccup, who seemed to understand my thoughts. He gave me a reassuring smile and rested a hand on my shoulder.

I watched as ship after ship came rolling in, each with a matching green and silver sail. The ships were smaller compared to ours, but they still seemed to hold a lot of people.

"Ah-ha! Chief Rollo! My old friend!" Stoick boomed. I peeked around other Vikings to get a glimpse of a very large man. Not like Stoick large. More short and fat. I couldn't help but grin at the man as he did a jig and laughed with Stoick.

"Oh! This is my son, Hiccup! And this is Astrid Hofferson! One of my best and smartest warriors." I couldn't help but beam as Stoick introduced me as an important figure.

"Oi! Hello Hiccup!" He said going in to shake hands with Hiccup, only to pull him into a bone crushing hug. He caught my eye and put Hiccup down. I had shove my laugh down my throat, as Hiccup gasped for air.

"And the fair but fierce Astrid Hofferson." He said bowing to me and holding out his hand. I shook it and smiled. So far so good.

"And this is my daughter, Ingrid." He moved out of the way as a girl about my age seemed to appear out of nowhere. I had to admit, she was pretty. With long, wavy red hair that was half tied up in a bun and half falling to her chest in bright red curls. She had a hair piece made of some, probably expensive stone. Instead of armor, like I pictured her, she wore a light pink dress that came down to her ankles. She had a white fur vest over it and a light brown leather belt around her super skinny waist. Their were tiny carving into it. She flashed a perfect smile and came right up to Hiccup.

"Why hello... Hiccup was it? My father said you would be taking care of me." She giggled. Actually giggled! She didn't even look at me. She pretended that I didn't even exist. But, Hiccup of course, came to my rescue.

"Umm... yes. Me and Astrid will." She looked at me and for a split second, I could see her expression change from that stupid fake smile to a death stare. Not as good as mine, I might add.

"Oh... Hi Asstid was it?" She said with a little hint of laughter in her voice. If she was going to be like this, so would I.

"Astrid. Dragon rider and one of Berks finest warriors. You?" I sneered the last part out. I never boasted about who I was. Sure, I was proud of it, but I never bragged. Hiccup looked at me shocked for a second, then gave me the 'be nice look.'

"Princess Ingrid. Future queen of the western isles. But you know, it's not a big deal or anything." She giggled and wrapped herself around Hiccup's arm.

"Shall the two of us be going now?" That snob. What the heck did she think she was doing?

Hiccup slowly pulled his arm away, trying to be nice. Typical.

"Sure. Astrid? You coming?" I realized that I was staring at her.

"Uh. It's okay. You two go ahead. I'll catch up. Meet me at the arena later to practice?" I asked resting a hand on Hiccup's shoulder before I left. Ingrid. gave me a cold stare.

"Definitely." He leaned slightly to kiss me on the cheek, but Ingrid pulled him away. I watched the two walk back up the docks. I was done. I couldn't have this brat, think that Hiccup was her for taking. I had to keep an eye on her.

Several Hours Later...

I paced back and forth in the arena, my axe swinging at my side. Stormfly was wrestling with Hookfang while Snotlout was watching me pace.

"Man, Astrid. What's going on with you? You've been pacing for like an hour." I grunted.

"Hiccup was supposed to meet me here an hour ago! He's off with the princess, who's making goo-goo eyes at him and constantly holding his arm!"

Snotlout snorted. "What!?" I snapped.

"Looks like the green monster has you good."

"Monster! Oh Thor! Where!" Tuffnut shrieked, hiding behind his dragon. I rolled my eyes.

"I'm not... jealous... I'm not jealous!" Snotlout looked at me. Fine. I was jealous.

"Fine. Maybe a little. But she has no right to just act like he's all hers!" Snotlout snorted again.

"Oh, out with it already!"

"I'm just thinking that if you don't want the totally hot, rich, proper princess to take your man away, why don't you keep them apart. Make sure she doesn't pull anything." Snotlout said this calmly, like he had been through this before. I sighed.

"I don't know. It could work." Snotlout nodded.

"Well, go. It's not going to get any better, with you just standing here." As much as it killed me to say it... he was right. I mumbled a Thanks to him and mounted Stormfly.

"Alright girl. Let's go find Hiccup!" Stormfly only needed the name, before she took off, knowing exactly what scent to search for.

...

I stormed into the great hall with Stormfly on my heels as I headed over to a large table to where Hiccup and Ingrid sat. She was way to close to him. I could see him slowly inch away from her, but she'd just scoot closer again. Hiccup was trying to show her the book of dragons, but she was just staring at him.

I came up to the table and sat down across from them.

"Afternoon m'lady. And what do I owe the pleasure?" I couldn't help but smile a little and he looked at me with the goofy grin. Ingrid shot daggers at me.

"You forgot again." He slapped his forehead.

"I'm so sorry Ast. Ingrid insisted that we go see the beaches. But, I'm not doing anything now, so let's go!" He jumped up from his spot, startling miss kiss up and whistled for Toothless.

"Wait!" She exclaimed, with this fake innocence.

"Can I come too? I want to see this 'training.'" Hiccup shrugged. She smiled and climbed on Toothless. He grumbled in disagreement. At least Toothless was on my side. She hugged his waist and rested her head... she rested her damn head on his shoulder! I could've chucked my axe at her right then.

We were only mid way there when she started her bull crap again. She shivered in the cool fall air.

"Hiccup, I'm cold." She glanced at me with snicking smirk. Hiccup nodded and pulled a blanket from his saddle bag and gave it to her. She smiled and hugged to him again.

"Thanks!" She whispered snuggling against him slightly. I gripped Stormfly's saddle so hard that she squawked with worry from the tension.

The flight to the arena couldn't have been any longer feeling. But when we finally got there, I felt like I finally let go of my breath. Hiccup immediately grabbed his sword, igniting it and charged at me. I picked up my axe and slammed it into his sword.

"Gotcha!" He laughed and spun around on his heel, and swung again, but hitting my axe once more.

"Ugh! It like you're one step ahead of me!" I laughed.

"Hiccup you always pull the same moves."

"Oh really?" I nodded and jumped at him. He dodged me but turned around and charged. I got ready to block him, but at the last second, he slide underneath me, knocking my to the ground.

"Yay Hiccup!" Ingrid clapped and smiled. Hiccup leaned over me, getting closer to my face. I smirked. I then picked up my feet and pushed him the chest sending him back a few feet. I stood again and pointed my axe at his throat. I grinned.

"Alright. You win again." We laughed.

"Another round?" I asked, but before he could answer Ingrid pulled him by the arm.

"Hiccup has to show me the stables right?" Ingrid said, already leading him out. I clenched my fists.

"Astrid. Why don't you come this time."

"Umm... doesn't she have like peasant work to do or something?" Ingrid said looking at me as if I was a piece of dirt.

"Exuse me!?" I was done. I could feel the heat radiating off of me as I stomped towards her.

"Whoa. I Didn't mean to offend her, it's just that she isn't of our high standards. Our social class. That's how things work at home." She had saved herself with the last statement.

"Our social class? Yeah no, we do things differently on Berk." Hiccup said stepping away from her. She grinned. It was like she was plotting one evil plan after another.

"Well why don't you tell me all about Berk and dragons, on a flight on your dragon?" Hiccup sighed.

"Well. Sure. It's getting dark though. Let me just get Toothless." Hiccup left the arena to find his sleeping dragon. As soon as he was out of sight, her fake smiled turned to a glare.

"Let's get something straight you dirty peasant girl! You are of no standards to be with a high class like Hiccup, let alone talk to him. Just let the better people stick together. You are nothing but a angry, filthy, girl who thinks she can belong with the adults. But you know what? You should just go back to the boar pit, where you belong!" She sneered. That's it.

I picked her up by the shirt collar and pointed my axe at her throat.

"I'm gonna-"

"Astrid! What are you doing! Ingrid is our guest and you're scaring her!" Hiccup yelled. I dropped her. Suddenly that selfish smirk turned to fake tears.

"She just grabbed me and said she was going to kill me!" She sobbed burring her head in Hiccup's chest. I was so angry that I couldn't even form words.

"Astrid I can't believe you would do this. Come on Ingrid. Let's go for that flight."

"But- Ugh!" I didn't even know how to react. It was the whole Heather thing all over again.

"Okay!" She said, cheerfully bouncing up again. I was going to kill her.

The Next Day...

I was so angry at both Ingrid and Hiccup that I didn't see or talk to either of them the next day. Instead I paced the empty great hall, still fuming from the night before.

How could Hiccup possibly believe the little brat and not his girlfriend!? I pulled out the betrothal girl he had gotten me. I always wore it under my shirt.

With it still in my hand I walked around the village. Many people waved and asked how I was. Some asked about the Berk Guard. Some asked about the edge. I politely answered all of them before clenching my jaw again and walking off. That's when I saw it.

"Hiccup! You're the most amazing dragon conquer in the world!" Ugh. Ingrid. I peered between the armory and another house, which was a darker ally. The two of them were in there. Great. I didn't mean to easdrop, but I was glad I did.

Hiccup was looking for spare parts in a box when she tugged him around, leaned in and... kissed him. I couldn't describe what I was feeling. I wanted to go in there and knock her out cold. I stood there staring like an idiot instead. Then I ran. I didn't need to see what happened after. I didn't care.

I needed a place to get my rage out and think. To the cove. The cove was a good place to think.

I still held the pendant as I walked. I crunched leaves under my feet as Stormfly stayed close by, but wandered looking for little animals to chase. I came to a rock formation, and wouldn't you know it, miss high class was sitting there making a daisy chain.

"Oh? It's you. Don't you have stables to muck out?" She sneered. She must have seen me. Guess she wasn't finished with me.

"You're like a stalker." She smiled at her comment.

"You listen here you little-" she jumped off the rock and ripped the pendant from my hand.

"Oh What's this? A necklace? It's nothing but a piece of garbage. I mean seriously? Who would this piece of junk to someone?" She grinned. "Only to someone who's less than dirt I guess."

"Give that back!" I jumped at her, almost tackling her to the ground.

"Oh woops!" She tossed the pendant in the air and I watched it land in a huge pit of mud and leaves.

"No!" I scrabbled over to the pit and searched frantically. She laughed and shoved me foreword. I hit the mud with a thud.

"Ingrid!? What do you think you're doing?!" Hiccup's furious voice rang through the trees. I stood up quickly as soon as I found my necklace.

"Oh Hiccup! I'm just putting her in her place. She attacked me again!" She fake cried, but he just pushed her aside. He helped get the dirt off me and looked me in the eye.

"Ugh! What are you doing?" Ingrid gave a disgusted look.

"I'm making sure my girlfriend is okay! Why don't you just return back to the village! You've done enough!"

"What!? How dare you talk to a princess that way! I thought our kiss meant something! You did kiss me after all! I don't know how to get back and you have to take care of me!"

"Well I guess it's going to be a long walk then." I retorted. Hiccup chuckled. She glared at me and stormed off.

"You're both filthy peasants! My father will hear about this!" She spit out, so angry she couldn't for words. 'Who's the green monster now?' I couldn't help but chuckle at me little comment in my head.

"Thanks Hiccup. I-"

"Astrid! I didn't kiss her! I swear! She pulled me in and I shoved her back right away! I knew she was getting a little to close, and I'm so sorry, if I had paid more attention then this wouldn't have happened and to make it worse I forgot about practicing in the arena and-"

"Hiccup!" I cut him off from his rambling.

"I know. It's okay. I'm sorry for being so protective. It's partially my fault because-" He cut me off with a firm kiss.

"Its her fault. Not yours. I'm glad I have you." I smiled as he held my hands.

"When I gave you that..." he motioned to the pendant around my neck.

"I meant what I said. We'll be together forever. Nothing and nobody will ever put me between you. Okay?" I nodded.

"What are we going to do about her?"

"Oh I'm sure my father and hers will hear about it, and when Chief Rollo finds out what she tried to do to the hiers girlfriend, the finest warrior Berk has ever seen, he won't be to happy with her." I chuckled.

"I hope so."

"In the meantime m'lady, would you like to accompany me on an evening flight?" He said properly. I laughed.

"Sure. Come on." I tugged on his hand towards Toothless.

"Let's go." He kissed my cheek as he followed me on Toothless.

"And Astrid?"

"Hmm?"

"Tomorrow, I call for a rematch."

Thanks for reading! This must be on est of my longest one-shots. Hope it was okay! I felt that the ending was a little rushed, but other than that, I felt that it turned out well. Let me know! Until next time,
