Greetings folks,

No, no. Don't ask me where did I go all this time. There's life out there and SoD and you know it. Now here I brought you with the new updates.

After the second line break, the italic line is Astrid's thought.

As promised, fun with Heather. Enjoy.

Chapter 11- Heather: Back With New Trouble

The sun is shining happily on the island of Berk. Her warming light helps many beautiful flowers and crops to grow and decorate the island. Even the Berkians enjoy the day. So one would question as to why one boy is feeling uneasy and anxiety written all over his face.

It is forty five minutes left 'till a ship carrying a familiar face arrive on the port of Berk. And this particular one is none other than Heather herself and her family. Hiccup and Astrid are currently waiting on the port, waiting for their friend's arrival. From the beginning of the day, Hiccup took noticed of Astrid's mood. Really, really bad. Not good. Hiccup knows why. Must be about Heather again.

The two young couple can now see the ship getting closer and bigger on the horizon. Astrid simply stood still, folding her arms and eyes stick to the ship. "Hiccup," called Astrid, breaking the silence between them. Astrid needs something from Hiccup to calm her mind, anything. And usually they play some questionnaire, Astrid's questionnaire specifically. "If …if I'm a female Deadly Nadder, what will you be?" asked Astrid. Hiccup looked amused by her question, nonetheless. He loves to talk anything about dragons.

"I'll be a Night Fury. Like Toothless," answered Hiccup with a smile, proudly.

"?! ..a Night Fury, eh? Of Course..," said Astrid looking a little bit sad. "How about …Heather?"

Oh no. Here it comes.

"A bedazzling, beautiful and attractive Night Fury?" asked Astrid. Her eyes are cold, staring directly at Hiccup. Waiting for his answer.

"Wha ..what?" said Hiccup, confused. "Where did that come from?"

"Are you both going to turn into the only Night Fury on Berk? Live happily together and make DOZENS of dragon eggs?" Astrid is gripping tight on Hiccup's tunic, lifting him up. She is threatening her boyfriend for answer. Hiccup is in panic and trembling out of fear. This is why I'm so confused with girl! Is she on her period?!

Luckily, Heather's ship arrived on time to save Hiccup from the pressuring situation. Astrid let go of Hiccup and turn her attention on Heather's ship. As the ship settles in the port, Heather and her family came forth. She is smiling wide when she see Astrid. "Astrid!" called Heather while waving at her friend. She sprint towards Astrid, dropping her bags and jumped on her, hugging her tightly. Her action surprised Astrid but somehow she feels happy to see her as well and return the hug. "How have you been doing?" asked Heather, cheerfully.

"Great. You?" replied Astrid.

No, Heather. She was in a bad mood just now.

"I'm great as well. It's really good to see you all again," replied Heather.

"Did you come here to see Hiccup as well?" asked Astrid again all of a sudden. She looks smiling but who knows if she is actually ready to explode by Heather's next answer. No, not again.

"Hiccup? Of Course," answered Heather looking at Hiccup. Hiccup almost had a heart attack by her answer. If Astrid take this the wrong way, I'm dead. Astrid is glaring at Hiccup now, looking like a mad bull. Yup, I'm dead. "I came here to see everyone," continued Heather. Astrid's anger finally cool down at her words, for now. Hiccup, however, already sweats a lot. He feels like he just missed a Nadder's spine shot by a hair's length.

Heather moves to get her stuff, dropped on the ground behind her. Trying to escape further awkwardness, Hiccup try to help her pick her belongings as well. For some reason, bad luck falls on Hiccup again. This time, as he walk closer to Heather, behind her specifically, Heather bends down to pick her stuff. Her butt is pointing DIRECTLY on Hiccup's hips as he, innocently, somehow 'stands' behind her. This happens in a mere fraction of a second but still, to Astrid's eyes, they're doing 'it'. "YOU TRAITOR!" shout Astrid as she lunges towards Hiccup, who had no idea what's going on. She throws a lightning fast punch across his right cheek. Hiccup, poor boy, was sent flying away at a great distance. WHAT DID I DO?!


Based on the scene that morning, Heather easily catch that Astrid had problems with being over possessive of Hiccup. That night, she works on something in her house. She piled up ingredients, cut some of them, crushing it, boils the water and balanced out the ingredients. Whatever she does, it is surely the work of an alchemist. "This should help those two," muttered Heather to herself.


Back in Hiccup's house, the boy is unconscious, lying on his bed. Astrid sits beside him, regretting her actions that morning. She tries to help with nursing Hiccup to health. "Hiccup, I'm sorry," said Astrid. "I should have put more trust in you.." Astrid take hold of Hiccup's hand with her both hands. Toothless simply goes back to his sleep as his trust Astrid with Hiccup. If only he knew...

Astrid somehow like this situation though. She secretly enjoys watching at Hiccup's face as he 'sleeps'. Her hands move to caress his cheek, brushing off his hair as well. As she was getting lost with her track of time, Hiccup's lips are getting more and more tempting to her. No matter how many times she kissed him, she just doesn't get enough of it. The soft feeling of his lips. The unspeakable feeling of love when their lips touch. The rising emotions and the tightening bond. She loves it. She really loves Hiccup with all her heart. Though, she needs to control herself in the public. But now, it's a rare chance for her. She leans her face closer to him and ….

"BOOO!"

"AAAH!" screamed Astrid, startled. She turns around to see her friend Heather very close behind her. "Heather, don't do that. You scared me."

"So… what are you doing just now?" asked Heather hiding her chuckle.

"Uuh.. I ..I was .." stammered Astrid.

"Trying to kiss him?"

"Yeah ..I mean ..no ..uugh," said Astrid panicked and embarrassed at the same time.

"Never mind. Here," said Heather as she hands Astrid a bottle. "I'm here to give you this. It's a medicine for Hiccup. Let him drink it when he wakes up."

Astrid looked confused as she inspect the bottle. However, she made no objection about it, "Okay."

"Well, then. I got to go. See ya," said Heather leaving the two.

"Thanks, Heather," Astrid felt grateful at her friend's help. She felt guilty to suspect Hiccup of being with Heather. She made up her mind to make it up to him when he wakes up. Now, ..continuing on with what she is about to do to Hiccup. Che. That Heather. What a spoiler.

The next day, Hiccup finally wakes up. As she decided, she gives Hiccup the bottle to drink to which he complies. As he drink it, Astrid waits for him to finish and ready to apologize to her boyfriend. When Hiccup finished the drink, he simply closes his eyes while sitting on his bed. "Hic.. Hiccup," start Astrid. "I'm sorry about yesterday."

"Mmm? What about yesterday?" asked Hiccup, confused.

"I hit you. Remember?" answered Astrid. Her eyes looked apologetic.

"Ohh. Don't worry. I don't mind at all"

His answer only makes her feel more sorry about what she did. She wraps her arms around Hiccup and hug him tightly, "I'm sorry, Hiccup."

Hiccup caress the back of her hair, "It's okay, my angel." What he said really surprised Astrid. In all of her experience with Hiccup, she never heard of him talking like this.

"A..angel?"

"Shall we go and take a walk outside?" asked Hiccup while holding his girlfriend's hands. "It is a fine day to enjoy the rare moment of our romance, don't you think so?"

"..Sure," respond Astrid. The way he talk is making her blushed.

The two young couple takes a walk around the village plaza. Astrid is silent the entire time. As she is observing Hiccup, she is processing her mind of what just happened to her boyfriend. Did I just hit him too hard that he turn out like this? Hiccup is oblivious with her observing him though.

As they passed a group of random girls, Hiccup suddenly approach them. Astrid wondered where he is taking her. "Is it my eyes or did I just see a group of angels descending from V alhalla?" said Hiccup at the girls.

"Wait.. what?" said Astrid, dumbfounded. The girls are all surprised by his approached.

"Would you be so kind as to let me treat you all to a dinner at my house, at least, " continued Hiccup. The girls are chuckling at his behavior.

"HICCUP!" shout Astrid. Hiccup, however, ignores her yell. She is extremely furious with him now for flirting with other GIRLS in front of her.

He sees another girl passing by, holding a basket as if on her way to buy something. Hiccup quickly runs to the girl, "Oh please, my dear. It hurts my heart to see a gentle girl like you hurting her hands with the weight of this basket." He takes the basket from the girl's hands. "Allow me."

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS IDIOT? Astrid grab her hair, biting her lips as if to hold down the rising, painful jealousy in her heart. JUST HOW HARD DID I HIT HIM?!
