Astrid felt comfortable sleeping in her bed than she was when she went to bed that night. When she opened her eyes to see why she felt more comfortable, she saw Hiccup sleeping next to her with his arm around her back but with an inch between them and smiles at him so she closes the distance between them snuggling her head into his neck wrapping her arms around his back drawing him closer to her.

Alistair decided to wake up Astrid and Hiccup since Ingrid was making breakfast for them and in form him that Hiccup fell asleep next to Astrid. He opens the door to see his daughter snuggled up to Hiccup sleeping and decides to wake them both up "Hiccup, Astrid, sweetheart, time to wake up."

Hiccup yawns sleepy notice that Astrid sometime wrapped her arms around his back with her head under his chin. Astrid mumbles "no, want more time with my Hiccup."

Alistair laughs at his daughter antics.

Hiccup looks at Astrid and says "can you get up so we can eat and go play?"

Astrid sighs, opening her eyes to see Hiccup and her father standing there and decides to get up. Alistair sends Hiccup downstairs so he can change Astrid out of her pajamas.

While Alistair was changing Astrid out of her pajamas, Ingrid talked to Hiccup "so Hiccup, how was cuddling my daughter?"

Hiccup blushes "I didn't cuddle with her because there was an inch between us until she woke up a little to wrap her arms around me."

Ingrid smirks "you two make a cute couple when your older."

Hiccup blushes "I do like Astrid."

Ingrid smiles "Hiccup, I promise your mother before she was taken by a dragon that I would look after you whenever you feel alone."

Hiccup smiles "thank you, mom."

Ingrid bends down to hug him tightly.

Alistair brought Astrid downstairs after changing her out of her pajamas and into clothes. Astrid notice Hiccup hugging her mom after her father set her down and begins to pout at Hiccup hugging her mom.

Ingrid notice her daughter pouting for something and looked to her hugging Hiccup and whisper in his ear "I think Astrid is jealous of me hugging you."

Hiccup turns to Astrid and tilts his head at Astrid who turns away to face away from him.

Alistair and Ingrid laughs at Astrid's antics of demanding Hiccup only be intimate with her.

Hiccup walks over to Astrid who peaks at the corner of her eye to see Hiccup approaching her and crosses her arms to initiate she's mad at him. He turns her around and wraps his arms around her, hugging her and smirks "is my bestfriend pouting because I'm hugging her mom?"

Astrid buries her head in his neck whines "I don't want to lose you. Your my very bestfriend."

Hiccup holds her tighter "you won't lose me Astrid."

Alistair smiles at the two kids. Ingrid bumps Alistair with her hip and smirks at him "think Hiccup will turn out to be a good husband for our daughter in the future?"

Alistair sighs "if he's more like his mother, he will be perfect for Astrid."

Hiccup rubs Astrid's back to comfort her.

After the Hoffersons eat breakfast, Hiccup and Astrid leave the house to play with Fishlegs since Snotlout, Ruffnut and Tuffnut are forced to help repair Mildew's cabbage field then they have to help the fishermen catch fish.

Fishlegs started reading books about dragons and other books like novels. Hiccup and Astrid decided to see what they can help with the village.

Stoick watched the villagers do their chores: clothes, make mead, farm wheat to make bread. After checking on the villagers, he checks in with the council members to hear Ack tell them "Meatheads chief, Mr. Mogadon requested a meeting for you to come to his tribe to go over their peace treaty with us. And Oswald The Agreeable wants to go over their Peace treaty with us as well."

Hoark sighs "don't forget about Visithug Tribe and others as well."

Stoick sighs "there are eight tribes in the Barbaric Archipelago sea around us."

Spitelout nervously ask "can you drop the punishment against my son because of what Mildew said?"

Stoick gumbles "no, he and the twins destroy Mildew's cabbage field that feeds us. So now Mildew has to have all of the cabbage replanted to help supply us through the winter."

Spitelout gumbles "he didn't do it! He told me that your son told them they should mess with Mildew and then back out of it so that he wouldn't be blamed for the idea!"

Stoick gumbles "your son, straight up tried putting the blame on my son because he didn't want to be punished for his actions and he told my son that if your son got in trouble then he would make sure my son got in trouble. So your son is a trouble maker and when he faces punishment, he puts blame on others. I'm not believing a single word your son says!"

Spitelout walks away from his brother.

Stoick decides to take Hiccup on a trip to Meatheads Tribe for some learning experience.

After Stoick leaves the council room he looks around the village for Hiccup and notice it's getting dark so he walks around the village looking for Hiccup but doesn't see him anywhere. He finds Alistair and Ingrid heading inside the great Hall and calls "Ingrid!"

Ingrid turns around to see Stoick and ask "do you need help, Chief?"

Stoick sighs "I can't find Hiccup anywhere."

Ingrid smiles "follow me, I will take you to them."

Stoick ask "them?"

Ingrid leads Stoick to the cliff to see Hiccup and Astrid watching the sunset with Hiccup's left arm around Astrid's waist with her head laying on his shoulder. Ingrid whispers in Stoick's ear "this is their date type where they watch the sunset together and then come to the Hall for dinner."

Stoick whispers back "you know they can't do that when they reach the marrying age or even when they get engaged."

Ingrid smirks "I already talked with them about that, and they said their okay with me checking on them to see how their doing, but this is where they chose to have their alone time without being babysitting to make sure their not doing anything inappropriate."

Stoick curious ask "are you sure you can trust them being alone together?"

Ingrid smiles "I make Astrid tell interesting things they talk about on these dates and she tells that they talk about what happened during that day that interested them."

Stoick sighs "tomorrow, I'm taking Hiccup with me to the Meatheads Tribe for a learning experience."

Ingrid sighs "what time?"

Stoick sighs sometime in the morning when the ship is ready."

Ingrid sighs "Astrid will be depressed that Hiccup is leaving for a couple weeks."

Stoick nods his head "I have to pack his clothes tonight after dinner."

Ingrid curious ask "do you think Hiccup would like the idea of sleeping over at my house with Astrid?"

Stoick curious replies "I don't know, I think he would love the idea of spending the night with the Astrid."

Unknown to Stoick and Ingrid, Hiccup and Astrid was listening to them while watching the sunset. Hiccup gaped "me spend the night at your house?"

Astrid smiles "that is great! I'm excited to have you sleep over at my house!"

Hiccup smiles "when I'm next to you, I feel happy and not so alone."

After the sun sets they walk down from the cliff to see Stoick and Ingrid still standing there not notice them until Hiccup says "are you really taking me to the Meatheads Tribe for a couple weeks, dad?"

Stoick nods his head "yes, I was talking with the council and I thinking of bringing you along for a learning experience."

Hiccup sighs "how long would we be gone because I think Astrid would feel depressed over me being gone longer than what was said."

Stoick sighs "two weeks, maybe three most."

Ingrid smiles "you two ready to have dinner?"

Astrid's stomach growls suddenly causing her to blush.

Hiccup smirks "is my Astrid hungry?"

Astrid smirks "Hiccup, shut up or I won't cuddle with you tonight and make you sleep on the floor."

Hiccup and Astrid follow Stoick and Ingrid to the great Hall. While they walk to the great Hall, Astrid grabs Hiccup's hand to hold. Hiccup smiles "do you like holding my hand?"

Astrid blushes "yes, it makes me feel cared for."

They walk into the hall to have dinner. Hiccup and Astrid hug each other before Hiccup follows his dad to the Chief's table at the back of the Hall.

Astrid sits down next to her father while her mom sits next to husband. Alistair whispers to Astrid "how did the date go?"

Astrid smiles "we talked about how much we like each other and enjoy being around each other."

Alistair sighs "tomorrow, Spitelout and me are going with Stoick to Meatheads Tribe."

Astrid sighs "will you watch over Hiccup for me dad?"

Alistair smiles "daughter, I have to watch out for him because the way you two act right now around each other, I have to look out for my future son in law."

Astrid blushes at the insuation of her becoming something more than friends with Hiccup.

After eating dinner in the Stoick talks with his bestfriend, Gobber while Ingrid collected Hiccup for his sleep over at her house.

Hiccup walked with Astrid, following Alistair and Ingrid to the Hofferson's house.

Once inside Ingrid takes Astrid upstairs to change her into her pajamas while Alistair changes Hiccup into his pajamas. Afterwards Alistair stands by the door while Ingrid reads Hiccup and Astrid a bedtime story. Ingrid smiles "now what story do you want me to read to you both?"

Hiccup smiles "I want Astrid to pick because she's a girl and I don't know if this is what a boy is supposed to do for girls, but boys are supposed to let girls be first in everything."

Ingrid smirks at Astrid "I think your boyfriend is going to be a good husband to you, Astrid."

Astrid blushes at the insuation of being more than friends with Hiccup. Hiccup smiles "I like Astrid!"

Astrid smiles "I like you too, Hiccup! And mom?"

Ingrid smiles "yes, sweetie?"

Astrid smiles "can you tell us a story about Viking and dragons?"

Ingrid smiles "I think I might have a good story for you two."

Hiccup and Astrid beam "yay!"

Ingrid sighs "A Viking boy about ten years old like a girl who was in his eyes beautiful, but so did the other guys in his village. They would try to flirt with her, but she didn't believe in flirts to win her heart."

Hiccup sighs "flirts don't work with girls who have brains?"

Ingrid smiles "no, Hiccup, they don't because your personality speaks what kind of person you'll grow to be."

Astrid sighs "I think I like brains over brawny boys."

Ingrid smiles "back to the story. The boy try things such as bring her flowers or tried sweet things to get notice by her, but everytime she ignored him. Soon he gave up on the girl and started doing what makes him happy which was drawing things such as scenes of people, places or animals."

Astrid smiles "that's cool."

Ingrid sighs "well the boy got use to being by himself that he felt alone, he started walking the forest hope to find a friend until he came across a teenage dragon that was a little bigger than him. Every day that boy would go meet that dragon building a bond and this is where we will stop the story for tonight. Goodnight you two, have sweet dreams."

Hiccup and Astrid close their eyes going to sleep.

Alistair and Ingrid closes Astrid's door heading to their bedroom to change clothes and into pajamas and go to bed.

While Hiccup is sleeping facing away from Astrid, Astrid rolls over to turn Hiccup to face her and snuggle into his arms falling into a peaceful slumber being held.
