Jane sighs "very funny boy but are you still in high school?"
Hiccup smiles "yes, I'm fourteen, why?"
Jane smirks "I can't sell rings to a minor, my boss would have my head for it."
Hiccup sighs and says "it's for my school's assignment and I ordered them for when I ask my girlfriend to marry me after graduation in four years."
Jane laughs "sure it is."
Hiccup smiles as her boss comes over and smiles "Hiccup Haddock?"
Hiccup smiles "hi Rick, I'm here to purchase Engagement ring and wedding rings for school class assignment."
Rick looks at the rings and smiles "that will be two thousand and one hundred dollars for two carrot diamond ring and a hundred and twenty for the Engagement ring. Plus another twenty dollars for the engraving."
Hiccup smiles and pulls out his wallet and taking out his credit card and handing it to him to pay for the rings.
After Hiccup leaves Kay Jewelers, Jane asks "Rick, why did you sell him the rings for?"
Rick sighs "he told me he wanted real rings instead of fake ones to use as his assignment and for his actual wedding and his dad got his wedding ring here since his dad was a famous racer before he quit and disappeared. Now he takes his dad's place in racing."
Jane shock ask "he races at Berk racetrack?"
Rick smiles "yes but I don't know if he races his dad's charger or another car."
Jane asks "what charger?"
Rick smiles "why, his dad's 1970s black Dodge Charger R/T. No car could beat it except Koenigsegg Agera RS."
Jane sighs "I wonder what happened to his dad?"
Rick sighs "no one knows what happened to his dad. He was on a plane and it disappeared over Iowa in the mountain range."
Jane sighs "it must be hard on him with living."
Rick smiles "his dad was rich."
(With Hiccup)
Hiccup heads home to see his mom hasn't text him yet since it's almost six o'clock now.
Fifteen minutes later, he arrives at home to see his mom isn't home yet which was odd, so he heads over to Astrid's house to see her and her parents.
He knocks on the door to see Alistair opening the door to see him "aww Hiccup, nice to see you, son. Astrid is upstairs with her girlfriends, Heather, Camicazi and Ruffnut."
Hiccup smiles "I'll let her have time with her cheerleading team, besides my mom hasn't come home yet."
Alistair sighs "okay son, I'll tell her you stopped by."
Hiccup leaves the Hoffersons house and walks back over to his house.
He opens the door to see his mom still isn't home and it's now passed six o'clock.
So he starts dinner and goes over to freezer and pulls out chicken fried steak and preheated the oven to three hundred and fifty degrees.
Ten minutes later, the oven beeps to signal that it's at three hundred fifty degrees, so he puts the chicken fried steak on a cooking sheet and into the oven.
He checks his phone for his mom's text message, but no update.
He goes to the living room to watch TV. Twenty minutes later, he goes back in the kitchen to check on the chicken fried steak and sighs "ten more minutes should due."
Tomorrow night, he takes Astrid out on their first date and plans on proposing to her that night and have their wedding in October or December.
He started getting into the thought of being married to Astrid for pretend and see how their lives are like being married when his timer for the chicken fried steak went off.
He takes the chicken out of the oven and sets a plate out for himself and for his mom and begins eating dinner.
After he gets done eating dinner, he checks his phone to see it's seven-ten and no mom so he pulls up track my phone app and enters his mom's cellphone number.
One minutes later, app traced his mom's cellphone to Concord road and not moving so he decides to go check it out.
He locks the doors and follows the cellphone trace.
Ten minutes later he arrives at the trace to his mom's cellphone to see tire tracks run off the road into a tree.
He looks at the car to see his mom knocked out and gets her out and carries her to his Mustang and calls Berk County Hospital.
Ten minutes later he arrives at Berk County Hospital.
Nurses rush unconscious Valka in the intestivecare room to check her out.
Hiccup sits down on a chair.
He begins playing a game of Freecell on his phone when he receives an incoming call from Astrid.
He answers it "hey, Astrid, mom was involved in a car accident. I'm up at Berk County Hospital waiting to hear from the doctor on mom's health."
After he hangs up the phone, the nurse walks out to the waiting room and calls "Hiccup Haddock?"
Hiccup smiles "yes, I'm Hiccup Haddock."
The nurse smiles "hi Hiccup, we meet again."
Hiccup looks at her and ask "Janette?"
Janette sighs "your mom is in critical care at the moment. We don't know what happened to her, but you called in a car accident?"
Hiccup sighs "yes, I think she was forced off the road into a tree and left for dead."
Janette sighs "I'll have to notify the police about this."
Hiccup sits down thinking about losing his dad after sixth grade and now could lose his mom.
Thirty minutes later, he is softly being woken up by someone rubbing his back and softly whispering to him to wake up.
He opens his eyes to see blonde hair and ask "beautiful angel?"
Astrid blushes scarlett while speechless by his question and answers "no, Astrid and thank you for calling me beautiful, but I'm here for you, Hiccup."
Hiccup's eyes widened at her and ask "you came here for me?"
Astrid smiles "well yes silly, we are supposed to be acting like a married couple for pretend and support each other when we need it."
Hiccup hugs her tightly "thank you Astrid for being here with me."
Astrid sighs "Hiccup you been there for me when I need you and saved me twice from being raped and saved my parent's lives. Now I'm here for you and your mom."
Hiccup smiles at her and decides to kiss her lips catching her by surprise. Three minutes later nurse Janette walks over to them and says "Hiccup, your mom is going to be in ICU for a few days until she's stable."
Hiccup sighs "thank you."
Astrid blushes "you can come over to my house and stay with me until your mom is better."
Hiccup smiles "thanks, you'll be keeping my mind off mom and on a very sexy beautiful girlfriend."
Astrid blushes scarlett and says "don't call me sexy in public places from now on, are we clear, honey?"
Hiccup sighs "yes dear."
Astrid smiles at his agreement and begins leaving.
Hiccup sighs "did your mom or dad drop you off?"
Astrid smiles "yes, I had my mom bring me here after I got off the phone with you. She thought it was cute that I asked her to bring me here to support you."
Hiccup smiles "thank you Astrid."
They leave in Hiccup's Mustang.
Fifteen minutes later they arrive at Astrid's house.
Hiccup shuts the car off and says "I started thinking about what you said about getting a four door vehicle and decided that I'll do it for you."
Astrid blushes at his statement.
Hiccup's phone beeps and he checks it to see he has a voicemail and listens to it: "hi Hiccup, this is officer Hank, I heard about your mom's accident and wanted to tell you that we will be over tomorrow morning at your house to go over your statement on what happened to your mom."
Hiccup sighs "looks like I'm going to be late to school tomorrow since I have to talk to the police about the accident."
Hiccup and Astrid walk inside the house.
Alistair looks at Hiccup and asks "how is your mom doing?"
Hiccup sighs "she's in the ICU for a while until she's stable enough to be moved to a room."
Ingrid walks in the room and smiles "oh Hiccup, nice to see my future son in law."
Hiccup smiles "nice to see you too, Ingrid."
Astrid smiles "the girls left before I called you to see where you were at."
Hiccup sighs "I didn't want to interrupt your girl's time with your cheerleading team."
Astrid blushes "that was very sweet and thoughtful of you, honey."
Ingrid smirks at her daughter "now your on to marriage pet names?"
Astrid starts blushing scarlett in embarrassment.
Hiccup smiles "I'll sleep on the couch."
Astrid looks at him, then at her parents and back at Hiccup and says "oh no mister, your not. We're supposed to be living like a pretend married couple and your sleeping with me!".l
Before Hiccup can argue with her statement, Astrid grabs his arm and drags him upstairs to her room and says "lay down and go to sleep. You had a rough night tonight."
Hiccup sighs and does what Astrid told him to do.
He climbs in Astrid's bed and lays his head down on Astrid's pillow.
Astrid looks at him and sighs thinking about Valka, Hiccup lost his dad at the end of sixth grade and now could lose his mom.
She changes her clothes and puts on her pajamas.
Ingrid knocks on her door to check on them.
Astrid puts on her pajamas pants and shirt and opens her door to see her mom.
Ingrid ask curious "did you just change out of your clothes and into your pajamas in front of your boyfriend?"
Astrid blushes scarlett and says "we agree that what ever happens in the room between us stays in the room."
Ingrid sighs "okay dear, goodnight" and leaves to go to bed.
Astrid closes her door, turns around and shutting off the lights and climbing into her bed.
She wraps her arms around Hiccup's back and Hiccup wraps his arms around her back.
She nestled her head in his chest.
Hiccup whispers to her "what would be your thoughts if I ask to sleep with you tonight?"
Astrid sighs "Hiccup, you are sleeping with me right now."
Hiccup blushes "no Astrid, I mean make love to you."
Astrid blushes scarlett now at his question and says "oh, and what made you decide to ask me to have sex with you tonight?"
Hiccup nervously replies "nothing really, just wanted to know if that will be part of things with our pretend marriage assignment that you would want to do."
Astrid thinks about it and sighs "I think we could work something out along the lines of that with our clothes on."
Hiccup smiles "goodnight Astrid."
Astrid smiles "goodnight Hiccup."
They close their eyes and go to sleep.
Next morning, Astrid's alarm clock goes off waking Astrid and Hiccup up.
Astrid gets up and changes out of her pajamas and into fresh pair of school clothes.
They head downstairs to have breakfast.
Alistair and Ingrid were sleeping in more, so Hiccup smirks at Astrid "so if I took you out for a pretend honeymoon, would you want to have sex?"
Astrid smiles "very funny mister."
Hiccup smiles "I try to be funny to make you laugh."
Hiccup and Astrid eat a bowl of Frosted Flakes for breakfast.
Alistair comes downstairs to see his daughter and future son in law having breakfast and have breakfast with them.
Astrid smiles "good morning dad."
Alistair smiles "good morning daughter and future son in law. How was your sleep last night, Hiccup?"
Hiccup smiles "pretty good, slept next to Astrid in each other's arms."
Alistair sighs "now I have to ask did you two have sex last night?"
Hiccup sighs "no we didn't have sex last night."
Ingrid walks downstairs to join them for breakfast.
After breakfast, Astrid takes the bus to school while Hiccup leaves going to his house to wait for officer Hank and officer Lane.
Twenty minutes later there was a knock on his front door.
Hiccup opens the door to see officers Hank and Lane standing there and smiles "come in and make yourself comfortable."
Hank smiles "hi Hiccup, I came here to take your statement on what happened to your mom."
Hiccup sighs and sits down at the kitchen table and begins his story last night.
Hank pulls out his note pad and writes down Hiccup's story.
Hiccup starts with "I got a text at five o'clock from my mom saying that she was working late till six o'clock at the animal shelter. Then I got a call from Kay Jewelers to go pick up a present for Astrid. Then came back here and make dinner for us."
Hank ask "when did you realize something was wrong?"
Hiccup sighs "after seven o'clock after eating dinner. Then I tracked her cellphone and found her in a ditch in front of a tree on Concord Road."
After Hiccup gives Hank and Lane his story.
He changes his clothes and heads to school after getting a note from Hank for school.
Hiccup drives to school and parks his Mustang in front of the school. He sighs wondering about his mom.
He looks at the time on his phone and says "already second hour, which means I have to go to AP US History. I rather go to the hospital to check on mom."
He walks inside the school and heads to the office to sign in late.
