I just want to say Merry Christmas to you all and to inform you that I am planning on doing a story based on Yu-gi-oh GX

Harold was riding his motorbike as fast as he could to Astrid's hospital, the cold was getting at him but the thought of Astrid waiting for him in her room drove him to push forwards.

Once he reached the hospital he jumped off his bike and raced over to the door and then someone jumped to map the shadows. He barely had time to dodge any thought a sharp pain in his shoulder.

He looked at his shoulder and blood pouring out the wound, someone had slashed his arm with a knife. He doubled over backwards and supported his weight on the van he looked around to see who attacked him and he saw him. It was Hallson.

"Your late, Hiccup," he said as he walked towards him still clutching the knife. "I've been out here so long I might catch cold."

"Hallson?" Harold gasped.

"You did a very bad thing, Hiccup. You know I can still feel the pain."

"It's over, Hallson. Do yourself a favour and turn yourself in, you're finished."

"Finished?" said Hallson tilting his head. "Hardly, there are lots of companies that would kill to have me in my research and wanted to complete there won't be anything or anyone standing in my way. Then I will be the ruler of this world."

Harold can believe what he was hearing, surely Hallson didn't think you would get away for what he's done. Both his parents were already arranging things for his arrest in this an attack on his person would only make things worse.

Hallson then glared at Harold with such hatred. "But first I'm going to kill you."

Hallson then charged at him's thrusting his knife, but Harold was able to dodge. However, thanks was injured arm and prosthetic leg he toppled over onto the pavement.

"Come on, get up," said Hallson kicking him in the stomach again and again. "I said get up!" He then placed his foot on his chest and looked down at him. "You think a piece of trash like you can get in my way? Did you think I'll let you slow me down?" He then rate is knife into the air. "You wanna know what the punishment is? Death. I won't accept anything less."

He then brought the knife down, but instead of hitting him it hit the pavement. Harold then saw him rubbing his right eye.

"Damn," he growled. "My right eye is all foggy, but I won't miss again… promise." He then raised his knife again and then he began to shake and then he went completely crazy. "You… bastard! You little boy… you're a piece of scum! You don't have any real power!"

"And neither do you," said Hiccup.

"Die damn you!" Hallson yelled bringing the knife down.

However, Harold was ready and grabbed his hand holding the knife back. Then using his other hand he grabbed his prosthetic leg and slammed it against Hallson's face and then he grabbed the back of his head and slammed it into the van knocking him out cold.

"You're looking not the kind of guy who kill someone in cold blood," said Harold as he adjusted his prosthetic leg.

He wanted to kill him so badly, but he knew that Astrid would never forgive him if he did in the last thing he wanted was for her to see like a murderer.

Once he called his dad informing him of Hallson's attempt to murder him he made his way over to the hospital. He slowly made his way over to Astrid's room not sure what to say to her finally met her.

He took a deep breath and stepped into her room and made his way over to her bed. He pulled back the curtains and there she was sitting upright in her bed.

"Astrid."

She looked at him and smiled. "Hiccup."

She outstretched her hand and he took it and sat on the side of her bed and pulled into a big hug. Astrid then noticed the cut on his shoulder.

"I had a bit of a run in with your former fiancé, but he's been taking care of," he said.

Astrid gave apologetic look. "I'm sorry, but I can't hear too well right now. I think I know what you said though… what you meant. But it's really over and finally… finally I get to meet you."

They pulled apart and looked at each other.

Astrid was crying her eyes out. "So anyway… I'm Astrid, Astrid Hofferson and I'm finally back."

Harold brushed away his tears. "I'm Harold Haddock. Welcome home, Astrid."

They then pulled each other into a kiss and were bathed in moonlight that was shining out of Astrid window. This was the true first kiss and Harold turned ask for a better one."

Things got interesting over the next few months, for one Astrid had to still recover from her time in the game. Also that night he went to visit Astrid in the hospital, Harold father took Hallson into custody.

Later his mother interrogated him and of course he denied everything and try to put the blame on Alvin Trench. But after she questioned one of his employers, Hallson confessed everything.

Fortunately for those three hundred players from DAO when they came to they couldn't remember anything about the experiments. Which was probably for the best considering everything that had just happened and they didn't suffer from side effects from the experiments.

Though the fate for virtual MMO was a different story. This latest incident combined with the DAO that destroyed the industry altogether. Fortunately for Astrid uncle, it was able to maintain RECT Industries, but he had stepped down as CEO for the free reign he gave Hallson and Astrid took over the company.

Not only that, but he was awarded another medal from the president. They also informed him that they would be looking at is career with great interest. In truth he didn't know whether there was a good thing or not, but at long last he could finally relax and actually live.

His mother had actually located Nyreen, who did actually live too far from them. They invited her as a guest when all the local players from DAO organised a party for him and Astrid. To say she was nervous would be an understatement.

"You're right, Natalie?" Harold asked noticing the nervous look on her face.

"It's just that eating all these former players from DAO is a bit daunting to say the least," said Natalie.

"Don't worry about it, you've seen most of them," said Astrid.

"Yeah, but it's different in real life."

"Just relax then not going to throw you out," Harold assured.

"And if they do I'll give them one of these," said Astrid clenching her fist.

Natalie looked at Harold incredulously. "How did you survive with her as your girlfriend?"

He took a sideways glance at Astrid and chose his words very carefully. "I just… uh, watch out for her right hook."

Astrid responded by punching him on the shoulder Natalie just looked at them bewildered. If that was Astrid's way of showing affection, she hate how she showed anger.

They soon reached Gobber's bar and found that everyone had already shown up. It looked as if they were waiting for an hour rather than a few minutes.

Harold blinked. "Hold on a sec, were we supposed to get here early?"

"We gave you a later time to make sure everyone else got here first," Heather explained. "It wouldn't be right for the guest of honour to show up before the guests." She then grabbed Harold's wrist and pulled him inside. "Don't just stand there come on in."

She then forced to stand on a wooden crate overlooking everyone and she grabbed microphone. "Okay everybody," she said at her voice echoed across the room. "Let's get this party started. You all know what to do. Ready… and…"

"Congratulations on beating DAO Hiccup!" they all cheered.

Soon they began pulling party poppers and raise a large sheet of paper that said: Congratulations. Harold was totally speeches and even notice Heather putting a drink in his hand.

"Cheers!" Heather yelled.

"Cheers!" they all yelled.

Once things began to settle down Harold sat at the bar, for the past half an hour he'd been on his feet as everyone congratulated him on clearing DAO.

"I thought the medals were bad enough," Harold groaned.

"I could think of worse things," said Richard sitting next to him. "For instance you could be Hallson. I mean he'll be lucky if he doesn't get the electric chair."

"Long time no see," said a voice.

Harold turned and recognised him as Inquisitor Trevelyan.

"Hi, Trevelyan," said Harold smiling. "How you then? I heard you and Cassandra are married now. I know it's late, but congratulations."

Trevelyan smiled. "Thank you, but ever since we got back and taking everything we've got to adjust to life here. The good thing is settling in to work mode again."

"I think you're probably one of the lucky ones," said Richard.

"Yeah, Astrid only just come out of hospital and now she is the CEO of her family's company," said Harold. "She's been busy clearing out of Hallson's mess."

Harold looked at Astrid who was talking too few of the girls that they met on their travels.

"I wouldn't worry, she's strong and tough," said Richard. "In fact, I'm surprised you survive being her boyfriend."

Harold rolled his eyes. "I haven't heard that one before." He then looked at Richard curiously. "By the way have you found out more about the Seed?"

"The better question is what I haven't found. It's like nothing I've ever seen, the thing is capable of creating hundreds maybe even thousands of MMOs. But I've got a question for you, what are you planning on doing with it?"

Astrid was at her desk working late into the night, she had to complete this report that if she didn't want to be sued for everything she owned. She had been working non-stop ever since she left the hospital and even then she still had to take medication.

Thanks to Hallson the company was just one disaster away from falling apart. If it wasn't for Harold's mum could have been a lot worse, she minutes the ease things over with the media, but that didn't stop the board from sucking her father and putting her in charge.

During this time she barely had enough time with Harold and there were so many things she wanted to do with him. He had been so patient that it was beyond belief, it was anyone else they probably would have snapped, but not him.

"Miss Hofferson," said her secretary. "There's a young man wanting to see you."

Astrid had a feeling she knew it was. "Send him in."

The door of her office opened and Harold appeared smiling and naturally she smiled back. He was a welcome sight.

"I see someone is working hard," said Harold as he approached her desk.

Astrid groaned. "You have no idea. Hallson has put the company through the mud and it's taking everything I have just not to sink."

Harold took her hand. "If anyone can pull this company out of the mud, it's you."

"That means so much," said Astrid. She then looked at him curiously. "But something tells me this wasn't just a social call."

He chuckled. "You saw right through me. I've got something that might just help, you remember me telling you about the Seed that Alvin gave me."

Astrid nodded. "Yes, you are going to give it to Richard to test to make sure it's safe."

"Well, he just given the thumbs up and I want to give it to you."

Astrid just stared at him breathlessly. "You're doing what?"

"Astrid, it wasn't your company's fault that put it where it was in the company that designed MEO so perfectly should exist. With the Seed you'll be able to pull this company out of the mud and begin a new golden age of MMOs." He then rubbed the back of his neck. "As long as no deranged psychopath decisive all in Alvin and Hallson's footsteps."

Astrid couldn't help but giggle. "Harold, you have no idea how much this means."

Harold just gave her a goofy smile. "Anything for my girl."

Astrid's face and became serious and looked at Harold. "And about that, I want to tell you how patient you've been. You know with me being in the coma and now this."

Harold just shrugged. "It would hardly seem fell on me to jump you by surprise why have so much on your mind."

"I know when I appreciated, but I really want to thank you for everything and I would really like to treat you to something." Harold looked at her blankly, but before he could speak Astrid placed a finger on his lips. "This is my choice and I want you."

Harold just stared at her breathlessly as she reached for her buzzer. "Miss Pokeson, you're free to go. I'll lock up after myself."

"As you wish, Miss Hofferson."

Astrid leaned over to Harold giving him a very seductive look. "Now it's just you and me."

Harold smiled and pulled her into a kiss. As they kissed Astrid removed his shirt while he did the same with her jacket. Once the jacket was removed Astrid tore her shirt off and buttons flew in all directions.

Then while she was busy removing his belt, he removes her bra. Way just to stare at her breasts which had grown after being in a coma for two years. Once his jeans fell to the floor she slowly made her way around the desk kicking her skirt away. She then landed her ponytail and her golden hair flowed across her back.

She then forced into sit down on the desk and bent down on her knees. She then pulled his pants down seen his erection standing to attention.

She giggled. "Looks like someone is excited."

Harold just shrugged nervously.

Astrid then took him into her mouth and he watched in bliss as he watched her head bobbed up and down. He ran his hands through her hair taking in deep breaths as she did her work. He could barely contain himself, but before he could unleash is cum Astrid came to a sudden stop.

She then pulled away from him and looked at him seductively. "Don't think we're finished just yet."

She then got her to her feet and removed her panties and stood there allowing Harold to take her all in. "Show me what you've got and you can be as rough as you like."

Harold just stared at her. "Astrid, are you sure?"

Astrid just shook her head. "Always the gentleman. Harold, this is my way of saying thank you for everything and I would ask you to do it if I didn't want it."

That was all that he needed to hear. He grabbed her and placed on top of the desk, brushing away all the papers off it. He then inserted his length into her and discovered that she was already wet, he heard Astrid gasp in pain.

"Do you want me to pull it out?"

"No… just let me get use to the pain."

They throw forgot that this was actually their first time in the real world and as search it would be more painful for Astrid. Despite this however, Astrid wanted him to do it even more.

One she was adjusted to the pain she nodded and Harold began pumping into her. She wrapped her legs around him pushing him even deeper and moaning every time he pulled in and out.

"Harder! Harder!" she begged.

Hearing Astrid beg was very surprising, she was wasn't the kind of girl that would submit to anyone. However they both knew that Harold would never take full advantage of her and that was probably why she let her hair down… sort of speak.

Harold then began to attack her breasts, kissing, licking and anything else he could imagine. Astrid moans grew louder as he pushed into her harder and did you know how long it could last.

"I can't hold on," he said.

"Neither can I," said Astrid.

Then almost the exact same time they came and both of them panting hard.

A few seconds later they were sitting on Astrid's couch, still naked and recovering from the exuberance. She pressed her head down his chest and looked into his eyes.

"You don't know how long I wanted this," she said.

Harold stared at her. "You? I'm the one who waited for months on end."

Astrid laughed. "So, were you catching up for lost time?"

Harold shrugged. "More or less."

"You're such a terrible liar."

"Which makes you wonder how I managed to fool Wreav."

Astrid laughed again. "I love you, you know that."

"Well, we keep telling each other often enough."

Astrid elbowed him in the chest. "Hey, I'm being serious."

Harold rubbed his chest. "And you think I'm not?"

Astrid pulled away at him in puzzlement. "What do you mean?"

"The Seed wasn't the only thing I came in here for."

Astrid watch as he got up and walked over to his jeans. He appeared to be pulling something out of its pockets and returned with his hands behind his back.

"What you got there?" she asked.

Hiccup then went down on one knee and shoulder the case which had a golden ring inside it. "Astrid, will you do honour of marrying me?"

Astrid was speechless, tears flood into our eyes and she could barely contain her excitement. "Yes."

She watched as Harold placed the ring on her finger and she gazed down on it. It was so beautiful.

They then looked at each other and then leaned each other into a kiss. Astrid can help but think that the one good thing about being trapped in DAO was that she was able to find such a brave, caring and heroic man that she loved so much. She was possibly the luckiest girl in the entire world.
