So...A Cinderella Story, and a few more I can't think of at the moment. But know that I don't own them. Also the characters Jack and Karter Essemer are VERY good friends of mine in RL and I wanted them in the story. Yes I had their permission first. You don't like it, don't read it. Kay? Thanks. Enjoy! :)
Surprise Visit
The night had been perfect for him. Literally the best night of his life, he got to meet the real NadderGirl and it turned out to be Astrid the entire time. They got to dance, kiss, laugh all night until the dance was over. They dodged being caught in her cabin which was still a miracle. Astrid had put Camicazi in her place a second time or maybe it was a third. Who knew with how much Camicazi didn't like to stop when she was told too. And now here he was after having snuck out of camp with Astrid, on his Night Fury, Toothless to his vacation home across the lake to give Astrid her first orgasm only to be caught by his friends.
"U–uh...Hey guys...Wh–what's up?" Hiccup asked them trying to seem confused.
"Don't play innocent, Haddock. Where the hell have you been since 12:30...Its now..." Ryker began looking at his phone, "5am." Ryker finished.
"J–just outside...thinking about how awesome...tonight was to meet NadderGirl, well Astrid." Hiccup lied quickly.
"You're so full of it man. We saw you go to bed at 11:45pm, you never go to bed that early." Tuffnut pointed out.
"He's right. We always stay up after lights out and hang out...After you laid down, we did the same and watched you get up and go to the bathroom, you've been gone since. So what gives." Dagur asked, now they were all staring at him waiting for an answer.
Hiccup rolled his eyes now, "Ugh fine. If you must know, I was with Astrid." Hiccup stated.
"What the hell have you two been doing that takes...4 ½ hours?!" Snotlout questioned.
"None of your business. Its late...well early now. I'm tired, go back to bed will you?" Hiccup mumbled as he laid down closing his eyes.
"No way...were you two having sex?" Ryker asked.
"NO! For the love of Odin, go to sleep. We were just taking a walk around camp talking." Hiccup growled out. At the noise, Gustav began wake up. "Fuck..." Hiccup sighed frustrated and got up going over to the boy's bed. "Sssh, its alright buddy. I'm sorry I yelled...some people can't mind their own business. Go back to sleep okay?" Hiccup said calmer now.
"I–I want...my...sister..." Gustav whimpered out. Hiccup didn't want to wake up Astrid, she'd kill him if she found out he woke up her brother, then woke her up to deal with it after the night they'd had. Not to mention his friends would probably hound her for answers. It was 5am, and they had to be up and at the hall by 9am. That was only 4 hours away, he knew she was going to be exhausted.
"Astrid is...really tired right now bud. Maybe we let her sleep tonight? I could sing for you..." Hiccup was just throwing the idea out there for him but he was adamant and shook his head. "Alright...Fishlegs, toss me my phone will you?" Hiccup asked. Fishlegs got it and tossed it over, Hiccup caught it and called Astrid.
"Hic?..." Came her overly tired voice.
"Hey babe...sorry to wake you up but your brother is asking for you..." Hiccup replied calmly.
"I'll be right over..." Astrid yawned tiredly as she hung up.
"Alright, she's on her way..." Hiccup sighed, not even 5 minutes later there was a knock on their cabin door. "Come on in babe..." Hiccup said to her, Astrid walked in. She looked so tired and he felt bad for waking her up.
"Sorry if I woke the rest of you up..." Astrid yawned again as she pretty much dragged herself across the floor towards Gustav's bed and sat beside him as Hiccup moved out of her way.
"Nah you didn't. We've been up since 12:30 when Hiccup over here snuck out to be with you." Snotlout said, Astrid's eyes widened as Hiccup mouthed an apology to her but made sure she knew that he didn't tell them what happened.
"We were only taking a walk guys...no need for a federal investigation..." Astrid grumbled out as they all started making their way back to their beds as she rocked Gustav in her arms lightly. "Now go to sleep so I can get him to sleep..." Astrid sighed out tiredly.
"I came by today to see you. I just had to let you know...If I knew the last time that I held you was the last time, I'd have held you, and never let go. Oh, it's kept me awake nights, wondering. I lie in the dark, just asking why. I've always been told, 'You won't be called home, until it's your time'..." Astrid sang softly to her brother.
"I guess Heaven was needing a hero...Somebody just like you. Brave enough to stand up for what you believe, and follow it through...When I try to make it make sense in my mind. The only conclusion I come to...Is Heaven was needing a hero, like you." Astrid laid him back down seeing he was already starting to fall back asleep. She moved some hair from his face and smiled gently covering him back up.
"I remember the last time I saw you. Oh, you held your head up proud. I laughed inside, when I saw how you were standing out in the crowd. You're such a part of who I am...Now that part will just be void. No matter how much I need you now...Heaven needed you more!" Astrid placed his Night Fury toy in his arms as she knelt on the floor holding his hand.
"'Cause Heaven was needing a hero. Somebody just like you. Brave enough to stand up, for what you believe. And follow it through. When I try to make it make sense in my mind...The only conclusion I come to. Is Heaven was needing a hero, like you..." She sang softly closing her eyes, clearly still very tired.
"Is Heaven was needing a hero...That's you..." With that she herself had fallen right back to sleep. Hiccup didn't want to move her, she looked comfortable and he knew how exhausted she was. Hiccup sighed, he could get in a lot of trouble for this but he didn't care, he walked over and picked her up in his arms and walked towards the exit of the cabin.
"Dagur. Call your sister and tell her to get the cabin door over there for me." Hiccup told him, he nodded and got his phone. Hiccup walked out and over to cabin 2 walking up the stairs. Heather tiredly came out opening the door.
"What happened?" Heather asked him yawning.
"She fell asleep on the floor. She'll be in a lot of trouble if she's caught in our cabin, so I'm bringing her back over." Hiccup explained as Hiccup quietly walked in and set Astrid on her bed, covering her up and kissing her forehead then stepping back. "Thanks, Heather." Hiccup said as he quickly made his way out before someone noticed him in there. He reached his own and sighed laying on his bed, now it was 5:30am and the sun would be up soon. Great. He wasn't going to get any sleep tonight but at least Astrid would and that was enough for him.
(8:45am)
Thankfully Hiccup's friends didn't harass him the rest of the night about where he'd been or what with Astrid, he managed to fall asleep for maybe 2 hours but then the sun in his eyes had him right back up again. He groaned, it was going to be a long day. He hoped Astrid felt better than he did right now, he got up and went to take a shower in high praise he'd wake up a little more. After 15 minutes he came back out and sat on his bed, slightly more awake than before.
"I'd kill for coffee right now..." He sighed.
"Well its time for breakfast so you can have some there." Snotlout told him. With that they all headed out of their cabin and to the mess hall.
(Mess Hall)
Reaching the hall he looked around for Astrid but didn't see her which was strange. He'd told her on the flight home from his vacation house he'd meet her outside the hall so they could go in together, she said she'd meet him there but where was she. He pulled his phone out and called her but she didn't answer. That was odd too, she always answered it in case there was an emergency with Gustav. Heather passed him as she walked in, "If you're looking for Astrid, she won't be coming this morning." Heather said softly.
What? Why wouldn't she be? Was everything okay with her... "Why not, is she okay?" Hiccup asked.
"She's exhausted which is weird because she went to bed before the rest of us, and I know that helping Gustav last night wasn't enough to make her this tired. She woke up long enough to go to the bathroom, then collapsed on her bed again. We tried to wake her up for breakfast but she said she didn't feel good and to tell Alvin or Savage." Heather explained.
Hiccup felt bad now, sometimes losing sleep was enough to make you physically ill and before the ball they'd been staying up late texting to 1 or 3am sometimes. Was their all nighter to much? "Alright, thanks." Hiccup said as he went in the mess hall, he'd let her sleep for now. Maybe that's all she needed. Hiccup took his place at his table while Heather talked to Alvin about Astrid being sick, then she went to her spot for breakfast.
As usual, breakfast lasted an hour with everyone talking among themselves. When it was time to split off in to groups, Hiccup went to text her. ::Babe, are u ok? Heather told me u don't feel good. -Hiccup:: He put it away to go with his group hoping she'd respond soon.
(Lunch Time)
It'd been a rough day of training and it was only half over. Today they just went over stuff they learned in the past, and worked with their Terrible Terrors. Hiccup wasn't really all with it since he was worried about Astrid who had yet to answer him. It was time for lunch and they were all making their way to the hall, Hiccup found Heather and pulled her aside. "Can you go check on her for me? She won't answer my texts..." Hiccup asked.
"Sure thing. I'll be right back." Heather smiled as she broke from the group and ran towards cabin 2. Hiccup sighed as he entered the mess hall, he wanted to be the one to check on Astrid but he'd get in trouble and people would question why Astrid was so tired when they were given more than enough time to sleep from 11pm to 8am, some were already wondering about it, and those were the girls in Astrid's cabin.
After 15 minuted Hiccup was still worried because Heather hadn't returned yet. "Screw it..." He mumbled as he got up and headed out of the hall.
"Where are you going bro?" Ryker asked him now.
"I'm checking on Astrid. Heather said she was sick and just wanted to sleep this morning, she won't answer my texts and its been 4 hours now." Hiccup stated heading towards the cabins.
"Hiccup, you can't go in the girls cabins." Savage said from behind him.
"I wasn't. I was going to mine. I finished eating already and according to the rules I can go to my cabin after meals as long as I'm back by 2." Hiccup remarked. It was a lie but he didn't care, as soon as he was close enough he could sneak over to hers and they wouldn't be able to tell. Just as he was about to walk away he saw Dagur come out of the hall panting almost. Hiccup didn't like that.
"Hiccup, get the nurse!" Dagur told him quickly. "Heather just texted me, Astrid's violently ill." Dagur added. Hiccup jumped down the stairs that led to the nurses cabin and landed in a roll then back to his feet running towards the cabin. He got the nurse who then they both came out heading towards Astrid's cabin. Savage was right behind being he was their teacher, well assistant principal but him and Alvin were in charge of all the students so when someone was wrong they had to be present.
(Cabin 2)
The nurse entered first, then Hiccup, then Savage. First thing Hiccup noticed was that Astrid wasn't in bed and the sounds of her throwing up were coming from the bathroom. How did she get this sick so fast? The nurse entered the bathroom while Hiccup and Savage stood waiting, Heather came out sighing and looking at Hiccup.
"I came to check on her like you asked and she was sleeping as I was about to leave she just started throwing up. Its barely lightened up, it worries be cause she doesn't have anything in her stomach..." Heather told him.
"You were right to get the nurse then, why don't you go eat. The nurse is with her now. Thank you." Savage said, Heather nodded as she headed out of the cabin towards the mess hall. Hiccup leaned against the wall near Astrid's bed waiting to hear anything about her. The nurse came out holding Astrid beside her and laid her down on her bed. Hiccup knelt beside his girlfriend and kissed her forehead.
"You're burning up, Astrid...Why is she burning up?" Hiccup asked the nurse now.
"Stomach flu. Its been going around the camp, few other students had it last week. She'll be alright, I gave her something for the fever and pain, then something that should keep the vomiting down. If it gets worse just call for me." The nurse stated.
"Well you can't just leave her here by herself..." Hiccup replied.
"I'll get one of her friends to sit with her." Savage said.
"I–I want...Hiccup to..stay..." Astrid coughed out.
"He can't. No boys in the cabins without adult supervision." Savage sighed.
"I'm 18, that makes me an adult to supervise her then." Hiccup remarked, Astrid wanted him to stay so he'd do what he could to make that possible.
"I suppose that's true...What about your training?" Savage asked.
"Astrid and I are top of the training classes already, and today is just review...We won't miss much. Come on teach...She's sick, what am I going to do to her? I'm going to sit with her and make sure she's alright..." Hiccup asked calmly.
"Very well, Mr. Haddock. I'll allow it given she is sick and will need someone to watch her. But you stay out of the bathroom with her and keep updates every hour with myself or Alvin. Understood?" Savage stated.
"Aye sir." Hiccup replied with a firm nod. The nurse and him left as Hiccup held Astrid's hand with a soft smile.
"That was...incredibly...clever using the adult excuse. And holy Odin it...worked..." Astrid tried to laugh.
"Don't laugh, you might throw up again...I'll use any reasoning to be able to stay with you when you want me too babe." Hiccup said kissing her cheek.
"Its not bad...nurse's meds work fast...I'm just...really really tired..." Astrid yawned.
"Go to sleep then. I'll be here when you wake up..." Hiccup smiled to her. "And sorry...I kept you up so late...It was my fault Gustav woke up because as soon as I got to bed, the others surrounded me and demanded to know where I'd been all night. I said with you walking and talking but they assumed we had sex and I just yelled for them to go to bed...Sorry..." Hiccup shrugged to her.
"Its okay. I don't even remember getting back to my cabin after that...how did I get back here?" Astrid asked him.
"I carried you back so you wouldn't get in trouble. You fell asleep after singing to your brother..." Hiccup told her.
"Oh...thank you then." She yawned a bit. "Last night was...really fun, incredible too...Never knew that could feel so...life changing almost." Astrid blushed slightly.
"Well when you feel better and we can actually get around without being tracked like a couple of spies, I'd be more than happy to give it to you again." Hiccup chuckled.
"I'd like that...Can't believe we only have two weeks left here..." Astrid sighed out contently.
"I know...its been amazing. So glad I chose to come, but honestly...I only came to meet you and now that I have...I don't even care about getting kicked out." Hiccup said smiling.
"Same...I only don't want to be kicked though because I'll lose my chance to work here...and this...is my dream job." Astrid replied.
"I know...that's why I'm being careful and did things the way I did last night. We can't do it during hours, and can't sneak in to one another's cabins, and I refused to have you do it in the forest...so only solution was sneak away in the dead of night." Hiccup smiled.
"It was clever and if anyone found out we'd both be in so much trouble. So your friends don't know?" Astrid asked.
"Nah, they think we were just talking. Heather ask you anything?" Hiccup questioned.
"Nope. She's been more worried about me being sick than a few hickey's on my neck..." Astrid blushed. They stared at one another a few moments before they heard screaming and someone yelled wild dragon attack. Their eyes widened as Hiccup got up to look out the window.
"Uhh...babe? You said...Stormfly was blue and yellow, red on the wings, and white belly...right?" Hiccup asked.
"Yeah...why?" Astrid asked.
"I don't think she wanted to wait two more weeks for you..." Astrid's eyes widened as she forced herself up to look and sure enough there her nadder was, flying over and shooting her spines out looking for her.
"Oh no...Hiccup they'll tranquilize her...you have to help me get down there...now..." Astrid pleaded. Hiccup nodded as he crouched down and let Astrid get on his back. She held on tight as he wrapped his arms around her legs and headed out of the cabin rushing down towards the mess hall.
"No, go back. This dragon is out of control. Its not safe to get close." Gobber called to them.
"No...she isn't...she's scared...!" Astrid yelled back. "Stop here babe..." Astrid told him, he did as she got off and slowly moved towards Stormfly carefully.
"This is above your training level, we haven't covered wild dragons!" Alvin said firmly. Stormfly got scared squawking as she fired her spines towards Astrid who quickly dodged two and flipped using her hand to avoid the rest.
"She isn't wild! Don't shoot her...She's mine!" Astrid shot back angrily. "STORMFLY!" Astrid called to her dragon with a whistle. Stormfly stopped and landed before Astrid squawking sadly, Astrid put her hand out as Stormfly nuzzled against it. "That's a girl...Its okay...Shh...You shouldn't be here." Astrid said softly as she hugged Stormfly around the neck gently and Stormfly relaxed more in the embrace.
Alvin and the others came out in a bit of shock. Stormfly got defensive again readying her tail to fire more. "You're scaring her...Stay back for now." Hiccup said with a hand out watching Astrid soothe her dragon until it lowered its spikes and nestled down beside Astrid. They were in shock, they thought it had been a wild dragon attacking them but Astrid came out with no fear and settled her down in seconds flat. How did Astrid have her own dragon, it was illegal for minors to have their own but she did. And now they wanted to know why.
