Hiccup landed on Outcast island with his mind still on Astrid. He wished he could have brought her with him, not only for the company but because she was a great sounding board. A guard showed him to the main building where he was surprised to see Gobber, Snotlout, Fishlegs, Dagur and Alvin sitting around the fire pit. "It's about time you got here." Snotlout sneared.

"What is going on here?"

"Well it was hard planning a way to get you out for your traditional last few days as a single man. So Gobber and I as your best men, decided to get you off of Berk."

"Should have figured that out." Hiccup muttered "So why Outcast island?"

"Well it might have been easier to figure out if I had asked you to Beserker island and Defender's of the Wing is too far." Dagur said.

"Plus me and your father go way back." Alvin put in.

"So what's the plan? Keep me here till the wedding or do I get to go home? There is an island looking to me and I'm already going to be gone for a few days later."

"Yeah yeah you only get a short period to be alone with Astrid. We have heard the complaining." Snotlout folded his arms leaning back in his chair.

Fishlegs glared at Snotlout, "Grumpy people aside. Everything is handled for you to be here till the morning. Until then we are just going to have a good time. You still have some tradtions the morning of the wedding but we figured a day of fun with the guys would be good for you."

Hiccup had to admit he had fun. Well that is until things started getting a little too personal. It had started out with an innocent question. "So Dagur how's Mala?"

"Missing her King. We don't spend many nights without each other. If you know what I mean." Dagur winked at Hiccup and a knot formed in his stomach.

"Working your manly magic huh Dagur?" asked Alvin, " Perhaps you should fill in Hiccup. Help him secure Berk's future with an heir faster." Hiccup could feel his face heat up and watched as Fishlegs started to fidget.

"Oh we don't need to talk about that." stated Hiccup

"Stoik ever talk to you about a viking and his home port?" Alvin asked.

"Ok like I said new topic. How's Heather taking on leading the Beserkers when your away Dagur?"

"She is doing wonderfully but we aren't changing the subject. What have you and Astrid been up to in your alone time?" Everyone looked at Hiccup, who didn't think he's ever been so embarrassed.

"Uh well…. Uh… like I said we aren't talking about this."

" Meaning the kissing, hugging, hand holding and ridiculously long looks we have had to endure are it." Snotlout threw in.

"Come now Hiccup you haven't stolen some extra…. affection before? That kiss I witnessed when Mala and I announced our engagement seemed pretty intense."

"You do realize who I'm marrying right? There is no doing anything unless she wants to."

"Oh so you tried and got shot down. So whipped." Snotlout laughed.

"You have been kissed once Snotlout, how is it you have anything to share?" demanded Fishlegs.

"Hiccup it's really simple. Her first time till hurt her, but it will get better. Make sure you pay attention to what makes her…..um happy. It'll help make it soo much better later. Us guys are very easy but ladies take extra help to enjoy their time." Dagur said.

Hiccup just nodded, not wanting to give them encouragement. He prayed to the Gods Astrid didn't have to go thru this, especially since she would have to talk with her mother and his.
