Welcome to the 4th chapter! Things are about to get serious! Okay so originally this was supposed to be a cute one-shot where Hiccup and Astrid got stuck in an elevator... but now I've decided to take it one step further. Hehe. Things are about to become... odd. Hehe! Anyway, please leave review! Thanks and enjoy!

Astrid's P.O.V

Three Days Ago...

"Really?"

"Really. I'll see you around, Okay?" I smiled and nodded. I shoved my phone away and tugged Stormfly's leash. He grinned and I watched that sparkle in his eyes.

"Just don't get stuck in anymore elevator's okay?" I left Veronica's and hurried down the street. Stormfly trotted at my side happily, her tongue hanging out of her mouth. Hey stomach felt all over the place, flip flopping with every senecio that I imagined. Why would the chief of police want to see me? It was good?

I stopped at the street light and tapped my foot impatiently. I could see the the tall, modern building of the police station just two blocks away. The light changed and headed across. I passed little shops opening up for the day. People smiling brightly. Some of them even waving. They knew who I was. But not because I was me. Because of my dad.

He was a hero. He saved hundreds. Brought down some of the biggest crime lords. And solved the unsolvable mysteries. Everyone knew his name from his deeds. And if they didn't, they would have soon known him for the crossfire case that put my father into a coma.

I stopped on the sidewalk and looked at the marble stairs leading up to the big, glass doors. Stormfly was already bounding up them. I took a deep breath and headed inside.

"Ah! Hofferson!"

"Hey! It's Finn's daughter!"

"Its a Hofferson!"

"The fearless Finn's legacy lives on!"

Countless officers called out to me. None of them knew me by name. Or knew who I was. I smiled and waved, but to them, all I was was a Hofferson. The fearless Finn's shadow.

"Ah! Astrid!" The Chief of police laughed as he came out of his office. He was the only one who actually knew me. Dad and him were best friends.

"Hello sir."

"What's with the sir? We are friends."

"Right. Sorry Alvin." He pulled me into his office and closed the door. Stormfly barked with joy as she jumped into the spinning desk chair. Alvin spun her around making her howl with glee. I sat down and chuckled nervously.

"Is there a reason you wanted to see me sir-er- Alvin?"

"Ah Yes. Straight to the point! They are reopening the crossfire case!" I jumped up. This meant everything to me.

"And... I've decided to give it too you!"

"Oh. My. Thor! Really? When? How?"

"Just a few days ago. I wanted to clear some things up before I call you in. That and some of the other officers don't want me reopening a "hopeless" case."

"Oh. Wait... I'm just a security guard."

"A security guard who was top class, and who's father is the one and only Finn Hofferson. The security system is with the Berk police. I'm giving this to you, because I trust you. And I know you want to be in the FBI." I couldn't believe what he was saying.

"Here's the files to get you started. Keep working at Infinity Tech right now, just until you are in the system." He handed me a folder. I eagerly opened it. I looked over the few scribbles of notes and bit my lip.

"But there's almost nothing on what happened."

"That's why I'm counting on you to see if you can get farther." I smiled as he led me out of the office.

"I'm counting on you Astrid. I don't think you want to be in your fathers shadow anymore." I nodded and he closed the door. I gulped. I had a lot to work on.

"Come on girl. Let's get going-oof!"

"My dearest apologies, the fair but fierce Astrid." I looked up.

"Johann." He smiled. He was a lanky man with a thin beard. He was my fathers partner.

"I hear you are reopening the crossfire case. Trying to find more on the impossible case hmm?" He asked, almost bitterly. He started at me trying to figure me out.

"Yes. I've got a lot of work to do."

"Ah yes. Of course. Wouldn't want to keep you now. Only your father could solve the impossible however." I clenched my fists.

"Well, I plan to follow his footsteps." Before he could speak, I had already turned again, tugging a skeptical Stormfly along with me.

I was planning on solving this. I was planning on earning a name for myself.

Three Days Later...

Hiccup's House

I snuggled into my pillow. I did not want to get up. My alarm beeped softly, but didn't want to get up. My bed felt... more comfortable than usual.

...

My eyes shot open. That wasn't my alarm. I looked around as the events from the night before flooded back to me. I was laying the couch in Hiccup's basement, using his shoulder for a pillow. Then I heard giggling.

"Hiccup's got a girlfriend!" Snickered Snotlout. I shot up from my spot and smacked him with a pillow. He screamed, clearly thinking I was not yet awake. In the process I woke Hiccup.

"What the-?" Toothless and Stormfly woke from all the noise and immediately started to play again. They launched themselves off the couch and started to run wild again.

"Do that again. I dare you." I hissed at Snotlout. The twins were rolling on the floor laughing from Snotlout's shocked expression. My face wasn't much better. I hadn't ever blushed so hard. Hiccup looked the same. But my insides were going nuts with confusion and... happiness? No. I tried to shove it away. I looked at the time.

8:10.

"Holy guacamole it's late! I've got to go! I promised Dad I'd see him! Oh gods!" I shot up the basement stairs, whistling for Stormfly and Hiccup on my heels. I skidded to a stop and pulled on my jacket.

"Hold on Astrid! Just a second. I'll drive you to see your dad." I stopped and smiled at me. He grinned back. That damn smile made my heart fly. I nodded okay.

He opened the car door for me and he then got in. Stormfly grunted. She did not want to leave Toothless and she did not want to ride in the back seat.

"Alright. We are we going?" Hiccup asked tapping the steering wheel as we pulled to a red light. I felt suddenly nervous. I had never told anyone about my father being in his coma. If they didn't already know, then that was fine.

"Um..." He cocked his at me. He looked worried.

"Astrid?" I sighed.

"Umm... The hospital." He looked at me, his eyes widening.

"Hospital!?" I nodded and gulped.

"Geez Ast. Why didn't you tell me?"

"Well we aren't exactly best friends!" I shot back hotly. He frowned. I felt a prick of anger on my neck.

"I don't even have your number!" He bit his lip and pulled over.

"Astrid. I'm sorry." He wrote his phone number and paper and handed it to me.

"I'd like to be friends." I looked at the paper in my hands and smiled.

"Me too." He reached over an put his hand over mine.

"Astrid? Your dad he..."

"He's in a coma. I know it's stupid that I freaked out about late with a meeting for a guy in a coma but-" I started to ramble.

"Ast. You're not stupid. I'm with you. Now let's go meet your dad." I looked at our hands and then him. I smiled.

"Okay."

Thats the chapter! Sorry it was a little short and not very detailed. I'm sick with the flu, so I'm a little off. Hehe things are about to take a turn. Hiccup and Astrid just friend zoned each other! Their will be more romance next chapter! I just wanted to set up the mystery factor in this chapter as well as set up the later problems. *Laughs evilly* anyway, please review! Until next time,
