Chapter 2

(Berk.).

Astrid was sitting on her coach watching TV, her boyfriend's match was up. Her uncle was sitting next to her. "I see that the Haddock's boy became president. What a surprise.". Astrid giggled. "Sure was.". At the Presidential residents Hiccup was playing golf, a sport he didn't like but it was tradition. He was technically having a meeting with the minister of armed forces. "We won't deploy troops to Iraq. Let the Americans call us when needed. Besides. The military doesn't have any troops available at the moment.". Minister Drago nodded. "If that's your wish sir.". "Say, you know some politicians settle down. Why didn't you.". Hiccup made a swat with his club. "Relationships are out of my area. Besides, I might end up with a gold digger.". Drago laughed. "Good point.". After the game Hiccup went to relax on his couch. He and Fishlegs were playing a game of chess. Usually Hiccup always wins. And he did again. "I see you used the Night Terror move." Fishlegs complemented.

The phone then rang at the office desk. Hiccup answered it. "President Haddock. Who's this? I don't know a Miss Astrid Hofferson. If I did I would have said I did. Hang on for a second. Fish.". Fishlegs came in. "It's Astrid." Hiccup whispered. Fishlegs went white as snow. Hiccup continued his conversation. "Miss Astrid Hofferson, I think I do remember you but where? Berk high? I dropped out at 11th grade to go to college. Well how am I then president. Where are you now? Berk huh? Well that's a long drive. Look, nice to chat but I gotta go." hang up and he could finally breathe. "What was that?". Fishlegs sighed. "Maybe she saw the news. I mean, we were nerds. No one cared for us. And look now, the most important people in the country.". Hiccup sighed. "Berk is over a thousand miles away. I have to travel through four isles to get there. Why does the Archipelago have to be so big. It's nearly the size of the US.".

The next day they were at the meeting with the other ministers. Hiccup was at the front with the Archipelago national flag behind him. With his party's flag. He was having his first meeting with the ministers. "Ministers, I welcome you to this gathering where we will be discussing about the changes we will be bringing to this country. So starting with the health department. Minister Heather Oswald.". A raven haired woman rose. "The costs for Healthcare will be lowered with 15.7%.". She sat down. Hiccup then checked for the next issue on the list. "Vice President and Minister of Financial services Ingerman.". Fishlegs rose. "With the following trademarks we have lowered the chances of unemployment by 6,1%.". Hiccup wrote it down. "Minister of Police services, Oswald too.". This time a male stood. "The police are now following strict policies.". Hiccup wrote it down. "Now for the crime rate. We have discussed on crime punishments. For those who are caught guilty for theft will be sentenced for five years in prison. For murder it will be life or the chair.". Then another minister rose. "The trespassing for traffic laws will be even more strict. Citizens of the age of 16 may go for tests to reseave a drivers license. For truck drivers for the transportation service will have to do a year with a learner's license at the age of eighteen.".

The gathering ended and Hiccup went for his limousine. Back at the Presidential residents Hiccup was packing a bag for him. Viggo, his bodyguard was standing at the door. "Leaving?".
