Morning came, Alistair and Ingrid were sleeping in their room while Hiccup and Astrid were sleeping in Astrid's bed cuddle in each other's arms.
Astrid nuzzles Hiccup's neck trying to get comfortable. Hiccup tightens his arms around her back a little more. After a couple of minutes Astrid relaxes and falls back asleep.
An hour later, there's a knock on the Hofferson's door. Ingrid whispers "honey, there's someone at the door."
Alistair sighs "who ever it is can come back later."
There was a second knock on the door.
Alistair sighs and gets up to go check the door. Ingrid gets up and goes over to Astrid's bedroom and opens the door to see Hiccup and Astrid sleeping in each other's arms. She whispers to herself "you two look so adorable sleeping in each other's arms."
She walks over to the bed shakes their shoulders a little to wake them up.
Hiccup stirs in his sleep "what is wrong?"
Astrid mumbles "I want to sleep more."
Ingrid smiles "it's time to wake up you two."
Hiccup sighs "today I get to go to the Meatheads Tribe for a learning experience with my dad, yay!" Trying to be sarcastic.
Astrid mumbles "your dad would have to pry you from my arms."
Ingrid laughs at them.
Hiccup tries to remove Astrid's arms from around his back only for her to tighten them and sternly say "no!"
Alistair and Stoick stood in the door way watching the scene.
Hiccup looks to Ingrid and ask "help, please?"
Stoick smirks "oh no son, this is where you try to reasure your girlfriend that your coming back to her."
Hiccup sighs "could you give us a few minutes alone?"
Ingrid smiles "sure son, just no funny business."
Hiccup sighs "what do you mean by funny business?"
Alistair sighs "your too young to understand what she means by funny business."
Ingrid follows Alistair and Stoick outside and shut the door heading downstairs and sit on the couch waiting for the children to get up.
(In Astrid's room)
Hiccup smiles "you feel better that I sent them out so you can get all my attention to last you a couple weeks of me being gone?"
Astrid smiles "very happy!"
Hiccup rubs Astrid's back while rubbing his head in her neck. He whispers in her ear "I will never leave you. I like being around you Astrid. Your my bestfriend, Astrid."
Astrid smiles at him and kisses his cheek shocking both of them.
Hiccup gaped "what was that?"
Astrid smiles "I don't know what it was. I just had this feeling of putting my lips to your cheek. I like you too, Hiccup."
Hiccup smiles "maybe we're getting closer to each other than what we thought we were?"
Astrid smiles "whatever this feeling is, I don't want to let it go. It makes me feel happy."
Hiccup smiles "same with me."
Hiccup and Astrid come downstairs to have breakfast. The three adults look at the two children to see the same expression on both their faces and smirks silently "something happened between the two."
While Hiccup and the Hoffersons ate breakfast, Stoick left to go check on the ship. After they had breakfast, Alistair took Hiccup up to his and Ingrid's bedroom to change Hiccup out of his pajamas and into a clean set of clothes while Ingrid change Astrid out of her pajamas in Astrid's room.
Astrid curious ask "mom, why do me and Hiccup have to change clothes in separated rooms?"
Ingrid smiles "it's because your a girl and he's a boy and your both not twins and in would be dishonorable for you both to be changed in front of each other."
Astrid sighs "but we're still kids right now? Why would that matter to others?"
Ingrid sighs "I tell you when your older, okay?"
Astrid smiles "okay, mom, I'll wait until I'm older."
Ingrid smirks "but I'll tell you this, that when you two were babies, you two found a mud hole and played in it. Me and Valka gave you both a bath together."
Astrid curious ask "was there other times we took a bath together?"
Ingrid smiles "yes there was."
After changing Hiccup and Astrid, Alistair and Ingrid walked both of them down to the docks for the trip to Meatheads Tribe. Stoick and Spitelout were waiting for Hiccup and Alistair to arrive.
Alistair hugs his wife Ingrid while Hiccup hugs Astrid. Astrid sighs "I wish you weren't leaving."
Hiccup sighs "I do too. I would rather stay here with you."
Astrid holds Hiccup while getting teary eyes.
Alistair smiles "ready to sail, Hiccup?"
Hiccup leans back to stare at Astrid and kisses her cheek before Alistair picks up Hiccup and board the ship sailing away.
Stoick smiles "Hoark take us to Meatheads Tribe."
As they sailed to Meatheads Tribe, Hiccup looked around ship in curiosity. Seeing how the ship sails. How to steer the boat. Stoick laughs at Hiccup's antics. Starkard sighs "why did we have to bring Hiccup with us?"
Stoick sighs "I brought Hiccup with us for a learning experience."
(Five days later)
They arrive at Meatheads Tribe, Chief Mogadon smiled "welcome to Meatheads Tribe, Chief Stoick."
Stoick smiles "thank you, Chief Mogadon The Meathead. This is my son Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the third. This is Spitelout Jorgenson, Alistair Hofferson, Hoark The Haggard and Starkard."
Chief Mogadon smiled "this is my son, Thuggory the Meathead."
Thuggory smiles "hi Tribe of Berk."
Mogadon smiles "Thuggory, why don't you show Hiccup around the village?"
Hiccup nervously ask "is there cool stuff around the village?"
Thuggory smiles "there's a bunch of things to do here!"
Hiccup followed Thuggory into the village while the adults went with Mogadon into the council room to go over Peace treaty.
Thuggory showed Hiccup things such as pranking the villagers in different ways, yak tipping, black smithing and their arena for dragon training or sparring matches. Soon a couple of Thuggory's buddies approached them. Spike smirks "hey Thuggory, you find a new friend to play with us?"
Thuggory turned to see Spike Howler and Grunt Leatherback and says "Hiccup these are my friends, Spike Howler and Grunt Leatherback. Guys this is Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the third and he is visiting us for a few days."
Spike waves at him "hi, want to hang with us?"
Hiccup smiles "sure."
Hiccup watched Spike and Grunt spar with toy swords. Thuggory sighs "come on Hiccup, let's try sparring." Hiccup picks up a wooden sword and trys swinging it only for him to lift it two inches off the ground.
Thuggory, Spike and Grunt stare at three year Hiccup in disbelief that he can't lift a toy sword which was plain wood. Spike ask "uh Hiccup, did your dad have you start lifting pieces of small wood to build your strength up?"
Hiccup sighs "no."
Thuggory, Spike, Grunt start whispers to each other. Thuggory tells Spike and Grunt "I thought they allowed to lift pieces of wood to build his strength."
Spike whispers to Thuggory and Grunt "he's small and weak to hang around."
Grunt sighs "let's play pranks on him."
Alistair walks in on hearing them whispering that and thought silently 'oh you three want to prank my son in-law? Well I'll just keep a closer eye on you three brats'. He calls Hiccup "Hiccup, son?"
Hiccup smiles "hi dad, Hofferson, did you want something?"
Alistair smiles "yes, son. I came to check on you to see how your doing."
Hiccup smiles "I'm doing fine, can I come see how the treaty or what ever it was called is going?"
Alistair smiles "sure" and scoops Hiccup up in his arms and carries him out of the arena. He sighs "Hiccup, what's wrong?"
Hiccup sighs "they realize that I can't lift weapons."
Alistair smiles "how about I train you to fight when I train Astrid to fight?"
Hiccup smiles "yay!"
Alistair carries Hiccup into the council room to see the council men discussing the treaty.
(Thuggory, Spike and Grunt)
Thuggory smiles "well guys let's get little Hiccup in trouble."
Spike curious ask "how would we get Hiccup in trouble?"
Grunt smirks "we could prank him by disrupting the Village and blame it on him?"
Thuggory smiles "I got the perfect prank! We're blow up the Forge and blame it on him!"
Alistair let's Hiccup run off to buy an apple from the market square and gave him three gold coins.
Hiccup looks at all the vendors selling swords, food, jewelry, clothing, blankets and stuff toys. He stops at the vendor selling apples and ask "how much for an apple?"
The vendor smiles "one silver coin."
Hiccup sighs "I only have a gold coin."
The vendor smiles "that's fine."
Hiccup hands him a gold coin for an apple. While he ate his apple, he walked around the village looking at villagers doing their errands and what not. He approached the Forge when Thuggory, Spike and Grunt exiting the Forge and ask "what are you guys doing in the Forge?"
Spike smiles "we were talking to the blacksmith inside."
Thuggory smirks "and he has a surprise for you inside."
Grunt smiles "and he has a bad temper if you keep him waiting too long."
Hiccup sighs and goes inside "weird, I thought the blacksmith was at the council meeting." He looks around the Forge without going in farther to see it empty and walks out to see Thuggory, Spike and Grunt gone. "Where did those guys go?" He walks ten steps away before the Forge blew up in flames throwing Hiccup three feet away.
When he wakes up he looks around to see that he's in a room. A woman walls inside to see him awake and smiles "welcome back, we thought you would be out for a month but it's been almost three days. Right now it's night time."
He gapped "I been out for almost three days?"
The healer smiles "yes sweetie. Do you remember what happened to you?"
Hiccup sighs "I remember getting an apple then walking around the village while eating my apple then I seen Thuggory, Spike and Grunt walking out of the Forge telling me that the blacksmith got me something but when I took five steps in to look for the blacksmith but he wasn't in there so I left to find that Thuggory, Spike and Grunt gone then blank."
The healer sighs "well from you told me, I can say you didn't cause the Forge explosion."
Hiccup gasped "the Forge explosion?!"
The healer sighs "rest dear."
She walks out of the room to meet the two Chiefs.
Stoick sighs "how is he?"
The healer sighs "he woke up and remembers everything up to when the explosion happened."
Mr. Mogadon sighs that's good because when he gets released from here, he can help with rebuilding the Forge!"
Stoick growls "and he's grounded when we get back home for destroying Meatheads's Forge!"
The healer sighs "actually he didn't cause the explosion of the Forge."
Mr. Mogadon growls "what do you mean he didn't cause the explosion of the Forge?"
The healer sighs "he told me who caused the explosion and they are Thuggory, Spike and Grunt!"
Stoick grumbles "those three boys, but they were the ones who came in and told us Hiccup blew up the Forge."
Mogadon grumbles "I highly doubt that my own son and his friends would blow up the Forge."
Stoick sighs "I believe Mr. Mogadon is right."
The healer sighs shaking her head at the two chiefs.
Next morning Hiccup walked out of the healer hut to see everyone looking hateful at him. His dad forced him to help rebuild the Forge after spanking him for blowing it up and ground him when they returned home.
For five days he help with the repairs then stayed on the ship staying in the cabin until they left the Meatheads Tribe.
