After Hiccup spent two weeks at the Hofferson's house, getting close to Astrid, building their bond stronger as friends. Stoick ungrounded Hiccup and welcome him back home, but Hiccup felt a little uncomfortable being in his house again after what happened on Meatheads Tribe.

Hiccup and Astrid turn four years and their bond keeps growing. Hiccup was sitting against a boulder drawing scribble pictures that didn't have clear details. Astrid climbs onto the boulder and tackles Hiccup from behind and laughs "got you Hic."

Hiccup smiles "yes you did, now let me up."

Astrid smirks "naw, I think I'll sit on you just to make get frustrated for being stuck."

Hiccup rolls over causing Astrid to fall off Hiccup's back and complains "no fare, Hic."

He smirks at her "no fare, you say?"

Astrid's eyes widened at his question before he tackles her and starts tickling her sides.

Astrid whines "hahaha- Hic- haha-cup- haha- stop- haha- tick- haha- ling- haha- me- haha!"

Hiccup stops tickling her to let her catch her breath. While she breathe in and out to get air into her lungs, Hiccup steals a kiss from her lips and says "tag, your it!" And runs out of the forest edge, into the village with Astrid chasing after him "get back here Hiccup!"

Hiccup runs around the village while weaving around villagers while Astrid is chasing him. Ingrid so happens to caught him and smirked "and what is my son in law running from?"

Next thing, she sees her daughter running up to her and ask in the sweetest way "mom could you put Hiccup down so I can punch him?"

Ingrid curious ask "what did he do to you to deserve a punch?"

Astrid blushes red "he tickled me and then while I was trying to catch my breath, he did something to me that I don't want the villagers to know."

Ingrid looks around to see some of the villagers that are outside staring at them and whispers in Hiccup's ear "did you give Astrid a kiss on the lips again just to tease her?" Hiccup shakes his head no without noticing he's blushing. She smirks "are you sure because your blushing?"

Hiccup sighs and nods his head yes. Ingrid smiles and whispers in his ear "do you want to know a trick in calming a girl's anger?"

Hiccup looks back at Astrid to see her getting more furious waiting and turns back to Ingrid and nods his head yes.

Ingrid whispers in his ear "grab her arms and kiss her lips until her anger dissolves."

Hiccup gulps "are you sure it will work with her?"

Ingrid smirks "why don't you try it."

She sets Hiccup down and watch as he runs to grab her arms before she can punch him and leans in kissing her lips.

Astrid struggles to break free from his grasp until she gives up and kisses back. A minute later Hiccup breaks the kiss when the villagers that are out smile "AWWW!" Causing both to blush.

Hiccup cautiously takes her hand in his to hold while Astrid looks at their hands in each other's and smiles back at him.

Soon the villagers started whispering "Hiccup and Astrid like each other and they just kissed."

Another one whispered "I wonder how long they will stay together."

Another whispered "it's tradition to treat a hiccup like outcast because they are born to receive no honor or respect."

Hiccup's face changed from happy to confusing to sadness hearing he was born with no honor or respect.

When the kids came to see what commotion was, they stare open mouth at Hiccup and Astrid holding hands while blushing in front of everyone.

Snotlout ask "what's going on between you two?"

Ruffnut ask "and why are you two blushing for?"

Tuffnut smirks "they probably got caught trying to have a make out session in front of everyone."

Fishlegs smiles "I'm happy for them two."

Astrid blushes more before saying "me and Hiccup's bond is growing stronger and he kissed me romantically."

Dinner time rolled around and everyone was in the great Hall talking about their day and other things when the topic of Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the third kissing Astrid Hofferson.

Stoick smirks "so, son anything interesting happened besides you making out with Astrid?"

Hiccup smiles "no, nothing at all happened today."

Soon the blew horn sounded signaling dragon raid. One of the night patrols came running in shouting "Dragon Raid!"

Stoick and men ran outside followed by women who could fight dragons. Hiccup tried to follow when Ingrid grabbed his shirt and told him "stay here with Astrid and the other kids." She follow her husband outside to fight dragons.

Astrid looks at the kids and says "I want to go see what a dragon looks like!"

Hiccup looks at her and says "no, Astrid! Your mom said for you to stay here!"

Astrid stares at him and says "scary cat."

Hiccup snides "I'm not a afraid!"

Astrid sighs "whatever, I'm going out to see what dragons look like" and runs out the giant doors.

Snotlout smirks "that girl's going to become bad girl who doesn't listen to adults."

Ruffnut and Tuffnut laugh "she's awesome!"

Hiccup looks at them like their crazy and runs out after Astrid.

Astrid runs to a house and hides behind a wooden barrow to see a Monstrous Nightmare chase after a viking while another one wracks it with a hammer. She runs off to another scene to see Deadly Nadders working together to corner a sheep to steal. While she running and hiding, Hiccup was running around the village trying to find Astrid to drag her back to the great Hall.

She saw a Gronckle blast a shield knocking a viking off his feet. After watching that, she finds a Hideous Zippleback spreading gas everywhere while the other head lites the gas causing explosion. Astrid gazed at the explosion "amazing."

A Gronckle snuck up behind her getting ready to blast her when Hiccup tackled her out of the way before the Gronckle could burn her. Hiccup yells "run!"

Astrid runs back to the Hall while Hiccup has the Gronckle chase him through the village causing some of the villagers to let the dragons fly off.

Starkard points out for Stoick to look at a Gronckle chasing little Hiccup.

Stoick frustrated ask "what is he doing out of the Hall!"

Stoick leaves to save Hiccup.

Hiccup ran through the plaza square until Stoick intercepted him and punch the Gronckle in the jaw. The Gronckle turn and flies away. He turns to Hiccup and ask "what do you think your doing out of Hall? Your supposed to stay with the other kids!"

Hiccup nervously says "Astrid ran out of the Hall, so I had to go get her."

Stoick frustrated says "Astrid knows to stay in the Hall with the other kids when there's a dragon raid. So don't put the blame on someone else! You cause a bunch of dragons to run off with some of our food and I have a whole village to feed and winter is coming soon!"

Hiccup sighs "I'm not lying!"

The villagers gathered around to see Hiccup getting scolded by his father.

Stoick turns Gobber and says "take him home, I have his mess to clean up."

Hiccup follows Gobber to his house on the hill. On their way to the Chief's house, Ingrid stops them and ask "can I have a moment with Hiccup?"

Gobber sighs "sure."

Ingrid smiles "and I'll even take him home for you."

Gobber smiles "thank you, Mrs. Hofferson" and leaves the two alone to talk.

Once he's gone, Ingrid turns to Hiccup and picks him up in his arms and hugs him tightly "don't ever do that again, Hiccup, you scared me, being in that raid. I promise your mom to protect you and if you died, then I would feel like I failed her as your guardian."

Hiccup sighs "I'm sorry mom, it's just I left-"

Ingrid smiles "we'll talk about that once we're inside and out of village's ears. Now that you seen dragons, were they scary?"

Hiccup smiles "they were scary, but at the same time, they look cool. I think there's something wrong with them, which is a mystery to this war with them."

They get inside and Ingrid takes off Hiccup's clothes to see if he had any injury, but found none, so she puts his clothes back on and ask "now Hiccup, what happened out there during the dragon raid?"

Hiccup sighs and tells her what Astrid did and him saving her from being burned by a Gronckle.

When he's done with his story, Ingrid ask "she literally said and done that?"

Hiccup nods his head yes.

Ingrid sighs "well she owes you an apology and a thank you and if you get grounded, then so will she."

Hiccup smiles at her and hugs her.

Ingrid smiles "do you want to stay here or come with me?"

Hiccup smiles "go with you."

Ingrid picks Hiccup up in her arms and carries him out of the house, down to her house. Hiccup lays his head against her shoulder "every time something happens and I say it was someone else who did it and dad won't believe me."

Ingrid sighs "don't worry my son, I'll have Astrid tell your father why you left the Hall."

When they arrive inside the Hofferson's house, Alistair smiles "hi, dear, is Hiccup staying with us?"

Ingrid smiles "until Stoick comes to pick him up. I figured with him by himself, upset because of his father just disregard him and not even listen to him, he might not want to see him for a little bit. And is our daughter upstairs?"

Alistair smiles "yes, she's upstairs trying to go to sleep."

Ingrid sets Hiccup down and walks upstairs to get Astrid. She opens her door and tells her "Astrid, dear, get up and come downstairs now. You have some explaining to do."

Astrid opens her eyes to see her mom and sighs, following her mother downstairs to see Hiccup sitting on a chair.

Ingrid sternly ask "Astrid, did you leave the Hall to go see the dragons tonight?"

Astrid nervously says "no."

Ingrid sternly asks "Astrid tell me the truth now!"

Astrid sighs "yes, I did leave the Hall to go watch the dragon raid."

Alistair sternly says "Astrid, you could have been killed tonight leaving the Hall to go watch dragons."

Ingrid snides "if Hiccup didn't tackle you out of the way of that Gronckle, you would have been killed! And calling Hiccup a scary cat. Really?"

Astrid lowers her head to stare at the floor.

Alistair frustrated tells her "Astrid, you owe Hiccup an apology and a thank you for saving your life. And when the Chief arrives here to collect Hiccup, you are going to tell him that Hiccup left the Hall to rescue you because you disobey an order!"

Astrid sighs nodding her head yes.

Two hours later waiting for the Chief to come get Hiccup, there was a knock on their door. Alistair opens the door to see Chief Stoick standing there and smiles "come in, my daughter has to tell you something."

Stoick sighs and walks in. He sees Astrid playing with Hiccup and ask "Astrid, what did you want to tell me?"

Astrid sighs "the reason why Hiccup was outside of the Hall was because I snuck out to go watch the dragon raid. I didn't see a Gronckle sneak up behind me. If Hiccup didn't come after me, I would have been dead now."

Stoick sighs looking at her and says "thank you and Hiccup, tomorrow morning your starting a job learning about blacksmithing at the Forge."

Hiccup gaped "what do you mean I'm working in the Forge to learn about blacksmithing?"

Stoick sighs and picks up Hiccup and carries him home.

When they get inside, Stoick sighs "I can't watch you all day because I have to do Chieftain duty, so I ask Gobber to look after you."

Hiccup grumbles "why can't I stay with the Hoffersons?"

Stoick grumbles "your reporting to the Forge in the morning to started your learning lesson in forging weapons!"

Hiccup sighs "yes, dad."
