Ingrid talked with with her husband, Alistair, about Astrid going with Hiccup to the Hidden World of the dragons.

Alistair smiles "Astrid, me and your mom have talked about you going with Hiccup to this mysterious Hidden World of dragons and decided that it would be a good idea for you to go with him on this adventure to this place."

Astrid smiles "oh thank you so much dad!"

The Hoffersons leave the house and head to the great hall for dinner.

(With Hiccup)

Hiccup packed his pajamas and sleeping bag for over night and left to go have dinner in the Hall. He walks over to where his dad sits and smiles "hi dad, how is the village coming along?"

Stoick smiles "it's doing good. When are you going to head out?"

Hiccup smiles "in the morning after breakfast."

Stoick smiles "are you sure your both going to be safe on this trip?"

Hiccup sighs "dad, we will be fine. All we are doing is checking on the dragons and leaving the following day before we run into any dragon hunters that could hang around."

Stoick sighs "just be careful out there please?"

Hiccup nods his head yes. They begin eating dinner together.]

The Hoffersons enter the hall with the rest of the villagers.

Spitelout walks up to Hiccup and tells his nephew "Snotlout says your going to pay for putting your hands on him."

Hiccup sighs "I think you should teach your son to respect girls and to not threaten them. He's lucky that it was me who beat him and not Alistair for threatening Astrid because I would have to use my dragon to make sure you don't interfere with your son getting a beating for it because you don't teach him manners."

Spitelout smirks "you know that the reason why your not facing treason for having a pet dragon is because you have train her and the council members believe your the key to ending this war but I say it would be better that you left with your dragon and never return home."

Stoick sighs "Spitelout Jorgenson! That is enough!"

Spitelout smirks "oh, now your going to play the daddy card in front of the Hoffersons just so you don't lose full custody of Hiccup."

Hiccup gasped at the blow and looks between them and ask "uncle, what do you mean by full custody?"

Spitelout laughs "oh my, you never told him did you? Well then, Hiccup, your father is on his last straw with Gothi signing you over to the Hofferson as foster parents because of how your father has treated you and if he loses parental rights to you, he loses you as his heir and that would mean that my son, Snotlout would take your place as heir."

Hiccup stares at his father in shock "you been playing nice with me and showing you care about me just so that you can keep me as your heir?!"

Stoick sighs "yes because you don't fit the position of being heir yet but your improving slowly but I don't think you will be able to handle the role of chief in the future."

Hiccup stares at the ground in defeat and leaves the Hall and walks through the village towards the arena in disbelief "he was only acting like he cared about me just so he doesn't have Snotlout as heir."

(In the Hall)

Ingrid slaps Stoick on the cheek to leave a light imprint and says "I think Valka would be very mad at you for saying that about your son."

Stoick rubs his cheek and ask "you know you could be locked up in a cell for hitting me?"

Ingrid smirks "well I did promise your wife I would protect Hiccup from harm and that means from you as well and now with your words I feel you don't deserve to call yourself his father!"

Gothi writes in the dirt 'Stoick, you messed up your relationship with your son and I think you pushed him away for good'.

Stoick sighs "he will come back around to me after some time."

(With Hiccup)

Hiccup screams "I will no longer see Stoick 'The Vast' Haddock as my father for a while."

Azula croons at him and rubs her nose in his chest.

After an hour, Hiccup walks over to his house and packs his pajamas and heads to the Hofferson's house to sleep since he doesn't want to sleep in his room.

He walks over to the Hofferson's house and up to the guest bedroom and changes into his pajamas and laid down on the bed "I wonder what my future is, if I can train dragons and befriend them easily?"

Astrid comes home with her parents and get ready for bed. She curious looks inside the guest bedroom to see Hiccup laying down and decides to go in her room to change into her pajamas.

Afterwards she walks into the guest bedroom and says "uh Hiccup, are you awake?"

Hiccup turns around and smiles at her "do you want to lay with me?"

Astrid blushes at the question and nods her head yes and he opens the blanket to let her cuddle with him.

The two lay there closing their eyes to sleep. As they slept, Astrid unknowingly touched her lips with his in a kiss. The kiss went from soft and gentle to a little more as they wrapped their arms around each other to deepen the kiss before both break the kiss to catch their breath.

Hiccup smiles "I think we're more closer together than anyone would think?"

Astrid smiles "and I don't think I want to separate from what we have between us."

Hiccup whispers "neither do I."

As they slept together, Alistair and Ingrid watched them kiss silently until they went back to sleep and left the room and both thought of what Hiccup said and would have to agree that they were closer than what others think about them.

Next morning Hiccup and Astrid packed a sleeping bag with three blankets and two pillows and left on Azula heading for the Hidden World of the dragons.

Astrid ask "so Hiccup, how did you gain access to the Hidden World the first time?"

Hiccup smiles "one of the dragon guards approached me and I kneaded on my leg and said "I come in piece and want to learn about dragons and find out what I am.

Astrid shock ask "and they let you in like that?"

Hiccup shakes his head "no, I had to say this to him: I Hiccup Horrendous Haddock stand here before you and pledge my loyalty to the dragons for protection and defend them against threats as they defend me against threats and will not give up the location of this World of dragons to protect them."

Astrid sighs "that was a long pledge just to gain access to the Hidden World of dragons."

Hiccup sighs "you have to say the pledge as well to gain access to the Hidden World."

Three hours of flying later, Azula lands on a rock cliff next to a waterfall. Astrid ask "Hiccup, why are we here for when we're supposed to be going to the Hidden World of the dragons?"

Hiccup smiles "we are at the Hidden World of the dragons. This is the entrance to it. Azula you ready to go get one of the guards for us?"

Azula smiles her gummy smile and nods her head before she dives into the hole into the cavern of the Hidden World of the dragons. Hiccup looks around through his spyglass for dragon hunters but doesn't see any and says "we're safe to enter the Hidden World once you say the pledge."

A couple of minutes later Azula returns with a dragon guard and Hiccup kneaded before him. The dragon guard growls at him.

Astrid whispers "I don't think he's happy to see us?"

Hiccup sighs "Astrid, knead before him and say the pledge."

Astrid sighs and kneads before the guard and says "my name is Astrid Fearless Hofferson, could be Haddock in our future but right now we're close best friends and I come to protect and defend the dragons against threats as they protect and defend me and I will not give up the location of this world for your safety."

The dragon guard looks from Astrid to Azula and screech at her. Azula screeches back and turns to Hiccup and writes on stone 'Astrid, the guard is cautious about you and says proof that your Hiccup's mate'.

Hiccup smiles at Astrid "looks like we have to kiss each other, are you sure you want to join this world of dragons?"

Astrid thinks about it and says "yes, I'm sure I want to join your cause because it seems interesting and amazing."

Hiccup smiles at her and wraps his arms around her waist and ask "are you really sure you want to join me on this task?"

Astrid smiles seductively at him "more than anything."

He leans in kissing her lips to seal the agreement.

Astrid tangles her hands in his hair to deepen the kiss.

Azula fires plasma blast into the sky in a way to celebrate the union between mates.

Hiccup laughs "really Azula? Are you trying to draw dragon hunters to us if there are some around?"

Azula smiles at him and they head inside the Hidden World of the dragons to check on the dragons. As they fly through the cavern to the main chamber, Astrid curious ask "so Hiccup, how did you get all these dragons to accept you into their world?"

Hiccup sighs "when I was bonding with Azula, she had me eat half a fish after her to become friends with her and then when she brought me here because I ask her to take me somewhere that no human had been to and I had to do it in front of dragon guard to gain access to the Hidden World and plus I had two Night Furies to back me up."

Astrid gags "that was gross."

Hiccup sighs "don't worry, I didn't have to do it anymore after that."

Astrid sighs "where will we be sleeping at?"

Hiccup smiles in the king and queen's chamber- Fury and Azula's room."

Astrid gaped "wait, are you telling me that Azula is queen of the Hidden World of the dragons?!"

Hiccup laughs "that's why the dragons are okay with us being here. As long as Azula and Fury approve of us being here otherwise we would be killed by the dragons here."

Astrid ask "what if they were killed, then what happens to us?"

Hiccup sighs "then their offspring takes their place as king or queen of the Hidden World and I would be chosen as it's protector until they can be able to protect themselves."

Astrid follows Hiccup to Fury and Azula's cavern. Once inside the cavern, Astrid smiles seductively at Hiccup and says "this looks more like you taking me on a honeymoon getaway?"

Hiccup laughs "sorry to disappoint you milady, but we are only staying one night here to check in with Fury to see what updates he has."

Astrid curious ask "who is Fury?"

Hiccup looks to Astrid to see Fury behind her sniffing her and says "oh he's behind you."

Astrid turns around to see a Night Fury and ask "how do you know this is Fury?"

Hiccup smiles "well he was sniffing you."

Astrid sighs "uh Fury?"

Fury rolls his eyes and claw in the stone: you smell strong with Hiccup's scent."

Hiccup smiles "she's my future mate."

Fury looks over Astrid examing her and claws: she looks perfect for you."

Hiccup blush "yes I like her alot."

Fury claws: she smells strong of your scent like you both mated within the last twenty-four hours."

Hiccup blushes and shakes his head "no, we didn't mate, her parents would beat me for it."

Astrid blushes at Hiccup mention mate and says "me and Hiccup didn't mate yet but we are closer than anyone would think."
