As Stoick, Spitelout, Alistair, Starkard, and Hoark sailed back to Berk, Hiccup stayed in his cabin and told them not to bother him. Stoick left him be and focus on the ship. Alistair how ever went below deck to talk to Hiccup "uh Hiccup can I come inside?"

Hiccup sniffles "I don't want to see any of you, I just want to see Astrid."

Alistair sighs and walks inside the cabin to see Hiccup facing the wall rubbing his tears. While crying softly "oh, Hiccup." He sits down on the bed and pulling Hiccup into his lap, wrapping his arms around him "tell me what happened, Hiccup."

Hiccup sniffles "Thuggory, Spike and their friend Grunt set me up for the explosion but if I stayed in the Forge longer than expected, they would have killed me in that explosion and dad took Mogadon, Thuggory, Spike, Grunt's side who lied to their Chief and he spanked me."

Alistair gasped "your dad spanked you because of those liars?"

Hiccup sniffles "yes and grounded me to my room when I get home."

Alistair sighs "I'll talk to Stoick and see if he'll let you stay with me for a little bit."

As Hiccup laid down to sleep, Alistair walked upstairs and yelled a little "Chief Stoick, you have some nerve to spank your son over a set up by the other kids!"

Stoick sighs "well I...I believe that he blew up their Forge."

Alistair shakes his head "no, Stoick, Hiccup can't do anything, he can't lift pieces of wooden swords so how could he blow up a Forge with an apple in his arm? Hiccup told me what happened and I heard what those three boys were going to do to Hiccup when I was behind them. So I think it's better that Hiccup stays with me until you apologize to him."

Stoick growls "fine, if you want him to stay with you, he can! But I don't want him out without adult supervision!"

Alistair sighs "fine, that is acceptable." He leaves Stoick there and goes below deck to check the supplies.

Spitelout sighs "I'm with you brother, if Thuggory and his friends say Hiccup blew up the Forge, then he did."

Alistair shakes his head "oh, Hiccup, no one believes you over those liars except me."

(Four days later)

Berk's blew horn sounded signaling that ship approaching.

Gobber and villagers arrive at the docks to welcome the incoming ship to recognize it as the Chief's ship.

Stoick steps off the ship carrying a barrel of mead and bag of flour for the bread makers. Gobber ask "how was the trip to Meatheads Tribe?"

Stoick sighs "my son almost got us into a war with the Meatheads because he mysterious blew up their Forge and knocked himself out for two and a half days!"

Gobber gaped "how could he have done that? Hiccup doesn't even know how make explosives!"

Stoick growls "I don't care, Gobber! If Thuggory and his friends tell me and Mogadon that Hiccup was in their Forge messing around with stuff to make it explode then that is what he did!"

Ingrid made her way through the crowd carrying Astrid in her arms when she heard Stoick talk about Hiccup and growls "Stoick! If Valka were to hear you talk about your son like that, she would have beat some sense into you!"

Stoick leaves the villagers to unpack the ship while he goes to the great Hall for a drink.

Alistair gets off the ship to hug his wife and daughter.

Ingrid smiles "how did the treaty go?"

Alistair sighs "it went fine before three kids tried to kill Hiccup in the Forge."

Astrid yells "three kids tried to kill my Hiccup!"

Alistair sighs "yes daughter, three kids tried to kill Hiccup, but he was smarter to leave when he didn't see the blacksmith, and knew the Forge was off limits to children."

Astrid whines "where is he dad?"

Alistair looks back at the ship to see no Hiccup and sighs "he's probably still below deck."

Astrid smiles "I want him."

Ingrid sets Astrid down on the pier so that she can go get Hiccup. While Astrid went to the ship, then ran below deck to get Hiccup, Alistair ask his wife "dear, do you mind if Hiccup stayed with us for a few days until Stoick gets his head right?"

Ingrid smiles "I don't mind at all if Hiccup stays with us for a few days. I think Astrid would love to have Hiccup as roommate."

Alistair sighs "I hope Hiccup doesn't wake up from nightmares."

Ingrid curious ask "why would Hiccup have nightmares?"

Alistair sighs "Hiccup suffered a traumatic experience almost being killed in an explosion and Stoick spanked him for blowing up their Forge. Stoick changed for the worse and when he shuts Hiccup out, Hiccup will shut him out with hope of forgiveness."

Ingrid hugs her husband.

(With Astrid)

Astrid gets below deck and looks around the room to find a door to a cabin and walks inside to see Hiccup laying on bed facing the wall and says "Hi-Hiccup?"

Hiccup stirs to a voice.

Astrid climbs into the bed and wraps her arms around him to cuddle "Hiccup, your back home now and I missed you alot."

Hiccup turns around to see Astrid laying next to him and sighs "I want to stay with you than go back to my house."

Astrid sighs "what happened on the trip?"

Hiccup sighs "I met some kids and they tried to kill me or get me in trouble and they did. I'm grounded for awhile."

Astrid gets Hiccup up and both head up to deck floor and get off the ship to head into village. Alistair and Ingrid lead Hiccup and Astrid up the ramp towards the village.

Hiccup sighs "Alistair, dad, are you sure your okay with me staying with you?"

Alistair smiles "Hiccup, your like a son to me and your a good boyfriend to my daughter, Astrid."

Hiccup curious ask "where would I be sleeping while I'm staying with you all?"

Ingrid smirks "in Astrid's room with her while we get a guest room made for you or would you rather room with Astrid?"

Hiccup smiles "I like sleeping next to Astrid. It gives me a sense of comfort."

Astrid blushes "sleeping next to you gives me comfort."

Alistair and Ingrid lead Hiccup and Astrid to Hofferson house. Once inside the house, Hiccup realized he doesn't have many clothes to change in and ask them "is it okay if I go to my house to grab some clothes?"

Ingrid smiles "not at all sweetie, let's go pack you some clothes for a few weeks."

Ingrid carries Hiccup up to his house to his room to collect some clothes. Afterwards they head out, back to Hofferson house. As they past some villagers one whispers "I heard from Starkard that he blew up Meatheads's Forge by just being clumsy."

Another whispers "I heard Stoick made him help rebuild it, then he stayed on the ship hiding from everyone."

Another whispers "blowing up a Forge for being clumsy is only the first step in becoming a nuisance and causing trouble for the village."

Once inside Hiccup plays with Astrid with her building blocks. After awhile Ingrid makes them lunch. Afterwards they build a fort with their blankets. All day Hiccup played with Astrid until dinner time, when Alistair and Ingrid carries Hiccup and Astrid in their arms.

While everyone is sitting down eating dinner in the great Hall, Astrid sits next to her mom while Hiccup sits next to Alistair eating dinner. Hiccup thinks about villagers saying he was responsible for blowing up Meatheads Forge.

One villager ask "Alistair, why are you associating with Hiccup for?"

Ingrid sighs "because I promise his mother that I would look after him and care for him."

The villager smirks "your going to want to get rid of him when he becomes too much for you to handle him."

Another says "he should have been thrown into the seas."

Hiccup smiles "maybe when you have a son or daughter and they get blamed for something that they didn't cause, we should say that they should be thrown out to the seas!"

Ingrid calls him "Hiccup! That is not nice to say about someone's child even though they deserve it."

Hiccup sighs "yes, mom."

Alistair side hugs Hiccup to comfort him. After having dinner in the great Hall with the villagers, Hiccup and Astrid decided to go home and go to bed after taking a bath. Ingrid washed Astrid then take her to her room to put her pajamas on while Alistair gives Hiccup a bath.

(In the Hall)

Stoick sighs sipping his mug of mead while thinking about Hiccup and what to do with him. Gobber smirks "Hiccup sure does have a liking to Hofferson lass."

Stoick rubs his forehead getting a headache from hearing Hiccup blew up the Meatheads Forge and almost causing a war. He nods his head to his friend's comment "yeah, he seems to have a close bond with Astrid."

(At the Hofferson's house)

Hiccup and Astrid laid down and cuddled with each other, closing their eyes and going to sleep. While their sleeping in the same bed, Astrid snuggles her head in Hiccup's neck. Hiccup tightens his arms around her back some before they both stir a little in their sleep to see each other. They get lost in each other's eyes before leaning in rest their foreheads against each other's. Astrid whispers "I really like you Hiccup."

Hiccup whispers back "I like you too, Astrid."

As they close their eyes falling back to sleep, they unknowingly kiss each other on lips before realizing what they just did and blush deeply.

Next morning Alistair and Ingrid woke up and decided to wake the children up for breakfast. When they open the door to Astrid's room, they both gasped at the scene of Hiccup and Astrid both sleeping next to each other but with their lips together while sleeping.

Alistair smirks "I never heard of a three year old boy and a three year old girl sleeping next to each other while their lips are touching."

Ingrid whispers "let's keep this to ourselves."

Alistair whispers "I see these two dating at ten and married at fifteen!"

Hiccup stirs to voices to see him and Astrid's lips touching in a kiss backs away from the kiss causing Astrid to stir from loss of contact and ask "what's going-" to see her parents looking at them with smug grins on their faces.

Hiccup turns his head to see Alistair and Ingrid, Astrid's parents and smiles "good morning, Alistair and Ingrid."

Ingrid curious ask "Hiccup, Astrid, did you two fall asleep like that or make out?"

Hiccup and Astrid ask "what is make out?"

Alistair smiles "make out means when you love someone, you kiss their lips, wrapping your arms around each other while trying to make your kiss last as long as you can. Sometimes it can lead to getting heated make out where you both start thinking about wanting to do other things, but that is as far as I'm going to explain until you both are older to explain other things."

Ingrid smiles "how about we go downstairs and have breakfast before these two start kissing again without even knowing what kissing means?"

Both Hiccup and Astrid blush at not knowing what kissing means and follow Astrid's parents downstairs to have breakfast.

After they have breakfast, Alistair leaves to join Mulch and Bucket to go fishing for fish catch.

Ingrid takes Hiccup and Astrid to see her brother in law, Astrid's uncle, Fearless Finn Hofferson. They spent the whole day hanging out with Finn Hofferson listen to him tell stories about himself and how he got the name Fearless Finn Hofferson.

(With Stoick)

Stoick sighs "I don't know what to do with Hiccup. I was disappointed with him blowing up the Meatheads Forge."

Gobber sighs "he needs guidance, Stoick."

Stoick sighs "this is the first time for me to try to raise Hiccup by myself."
