Already tweeted a little snippet of this chapter so for previews of a new chapter follow OneCrazedUpDrag link in my profile. I got so many reviews about the whole Brandr and Astrid thing. I did it on purpose as a cliffhanger element and yes Astrid is going to explain to Hiccup about the encounter.

Disclaimer: I don't own How to Train Your Dragon franchise.


After Toothless's inspiring speech and when the movie ended the others parted ways bidding good night. Hiccup accompanied Astrid on the drive back to her house. It wasn't just for her safety but also he wanted to talk to her in private about that nagging feeling of jealousy.

Astrid seemed oblivious to the mental struggle in Hiccup. Astrid dismounted followed by Hiccup.

"Thanks for making sure I got home safe."

Hiccup gave her an easy smile. "It wasn't just for you, you know I would be worried sick if I didn't know if you made it back."

Astrid was about to open her door but Hiccup hesitantly caught her hand. She turned to glance back at him with a puzzled look.

"Uh...Astrid I've been meaning to as you...what happened back there with you and Brandr?"

It was then Astrid noted the hint of jealousy coming from his voice even though he tried his best not to show it.

Astrid laced her hand in his and sighed.

"Hiccup...Brandr is like my brother, it kind of hit home for me that he's leaving because he reminds me of Olly and I missed having brother around my age that understands things."

Hiccup's eyes widened some. He understood now. Since Astrid's brother Olly was in the military they hardly saw each other so Brandr kind of took his place as Astrid's older brother.

He looked down at his own feet and rubbed the back of his head.

"Wow, now I kind of seem like a jackass now." He muttered.

She let out a light laugh.

"No you're not, I get it you were jealous."

Hiccup scoffed, "I was not."

"Then why did you ask?" She asked him smartly.

Hiccup put his index finger up as if to retort with a comeback. He paused for several seconds but then sighed giving up.

Astrid gave him a little smirk.

"But seriously though Hic thanks for following me home."

"What are boyfriends for?"

She smiled and kissed him on the cheek before heading inside her house.

Hiccup smiled to himself before riding home.

The next morning the gang decided that they were going to spend the morning racing; just for fun.

They all met at Dragon Island.

"How about to make this interesting we all put in $10." Snotlout said.

They all nodded each putting in the money, the pot was $70.

Since Fishlegs doesn't like to race everyone handed their money to him as he was being judge.

"On your mark...get set...GO!"

Each of them raced down the track, all of them were on the same side. They already determined it will be three laps like always.

Hiccup of course was in front followed by Brandr, Toothless, and Astrid. Snotlout and the twins lagged a few paces behind. Hiccup eased up on the throttle as he didn't want to completely destroy them.

At some point in the second lap he let everyone pass him but then he easily reclaimed the lead.

"Stop toying with us Hiccup!" Snotlout yelled over the roar of the engines.

Hiccup just laughed. Towards the end of the final lap Brandr was slowly creeping on Hiccup's lead. Hiccup eased on the throttle again so Brandr can be neck and neck with him.

Hiccup is a nice guy and this was Brandr's day so why not let him win. AS they approached the final stretch Hiccup pulled enough away so Brandr's front tire was just a couple of inches in front.

Brandr crossed the finish line first.

"And Brandr wins!" Fishlegs called out as the others followed behind.

Brandr skitted to a halt.

"You so did that on purpose." He said half annoyed.

Hiccup took off his helmet. "I don't know what you are talking about."

Brandr shook his head as he leaned over and shoved his shoulder.

"Brandr as the winner of race you win the $70 pot." Fishlegs announced as he handed over the money to him.

"Yeah score!"

"Since you got all that money now you can pay for lunch." Toothless smirked as he clapped him on the shoulder.

"Oi shut up!" Brandr laughed slightly as he pushed Toothless away from him.

Toothless hardly budged as he laughed.

"Seriously though can we get some food though H I'm hungry." Tuffnut told them.

"Yeah we've been at the track for 2 hours." Hiccup said.

They decided to eat of course at Joe's Shack. The gang sat at their normal horseshoe booth.

They soon ordered their pizzas as they talked about drama thats happening around Berk.

Toothless finished off his sardine pizza. "What do you guys want to do now?"

They all sat there for a second thinking.

"I know we can play paintball." Ruffnut told them.

"There isn't a paintball course in Berk Ruff." Astrid commented.

"Me and Ruff have paintball equipment for pranking." Tuffnut butted into the conversation.

"Is there enough equipment for all of us?" Brandr asked.

The twins both nodded their heads.

"Then its settled, to the twin's house." Hiccup declared. They each paid for their own meal and rode over to their house.

No one was home at the time as they all drudged down to the basement where they keep all of their prank gadgets. On a long table was paintball equipment. 10 guns with over 10,000 paintballs along with 10 sets of paintball gear.

"Wy do you guys have so many paintballs?" Snotlout asked them.

"We like to go out pranking with them a lot." Ruffnut answered him.

Each of them picked up gear and took random spray paint cans and customized their gear and gun.

"On the other side of our house is the woods,we can play there." Tuffnut suggested.

They made their way to what they felt like was the center.

"Okay we need to break up into teams." Hiccup stated.

"Easy, I will be a team captain and so will Brandr." Snotlout declared.

"Um okay Brandr you pick first." Hiccup told him.

"Okay I choice you."

"Alright, Snotlout you're up." Hiccup said.

"Tuffnut."

"Toothless."

"Ruffnut."

"Astrid."

"Alright Fishface lets go."

"Uh...I'm not so sure about this guys." Fishlegs said uneasily.

"Fislegs it will be fine all you got to do is hide."

"Alright..."

"Okay and go!" Hiccup told everyone as each team ran the opposite way.

"What's the plan?" Astrid asked.

"I don't know, Brandr you're the captain, have any ideas?" Hiccup asked him.

"Before we make a plan of attack we have to know where they are at in the first place so we don't walk into a trap."

Brandy's team spread out some but still kept each other in sight. They moved one at a time watching carefully ahead of them.

After a couple of minutes of slowly creeping their way forward Snotlout's team was spotted.

Toothless opened fire hiding behind a tree. Astrid leaped and rolled between covers to avoid getting hit.

Hiccup vaulted over a fallen tree trunk to get where Brandr was taking cover.

"Now what's the plan?"

"I'm working on it."

Meanwhile Toothless was at the far edge trying to ambush them from behind. He saw a gun laying on the ground next to this little ditch. Toothless army crawled his way to the gun. He noticed that the gun was full of ammo.

He looked down from his laying position to see Fishlegs huddled close to the ground.

"Fishlegs?"

The latter screamed out in fright and surprise.

"Fish relax its just me." Toothless held his hands up in a surrounding manner as his one hand was wrapped around his paintball gun his index finger was just ghosting over the trigger.

"Oh Thor Toothless you scared me."

"Yeah I can tell, anyways what are you doing to whole way out here?"

"Hiding, trying not to get shot."

"If you want to get out of the game then just someone shut you."

"No!" "Are you crazy?" "Paintballs hurt s badly, and I'm sensitive to pain."

"Are you sure about that?"

Fishlegs scrunched up his eyebrows.

"Yeah why?"

"Might want to look down." Toothless gestured.

Still with a puzzled expression Fishlegs glanced down at himself to already see that he has been shot with the bright neon green paint.

"You shot me?"

"Yeah like 2 minutes ago."

"How come I didn't feel it?"

"I kept you distracted, you're welcome."

Toothless then directed his attention away from him. He cupped his hands around his mouth.

"Fishlegs is out!"

"Okay, you can wait at the center of the forest now."

"Thanks Toothless."

"No problem."

Toothless left the ditch to find the rest of Snotlout's team.

"Okay I have a plan." Brandr whispered to Hiccup and Astrid was they were pinned hiding behind a fallen trunk.

"You two go around the left way and try to ambush and I will draw their fire got it?"

"Okay."

Hiccup and Astrid crept to the outer tree line hopefully keeping out of the line of sight.

"Toothless is out!" Tuffnut shouted.

Hiccup groaned. "Toothless is such an idiot sometimes."

"Someone had to get the brains of them family." Astrid teased.

Astrid spotted Ruffnut in a clearing and took her shot.

The paintball landed right on her mask obscuring her vision with green.

"Aw damn it!"

"Ruffnut is out!" Astrid shouted.

The two continued onward towards what they hope was Snotlout and Tuffnut.

"Brandr is out!" Snotlout yelled.

They traveled back to back to almost the heart of the forest.

Suddenly there was a battle cry and Tuffnut who was hanging on a low tree branch upside down shot Astrid but then Hiccup quickly blasted him too.

"Astrid and Tuffnut are out!"

"Shit so close."

Astrid helped Tuffnut up.

"Got to give you props Tuff that was a great sneak attack."

"Thanks A, I like to scare people with that move."

It was just Hiccup and Snotlotut left.

Hiccup traveled deeper feeling is body tense up every second.

A paint ball whistled just past his head behind him. Hiccup dove for cover behind a tree.

Hiccup fired a few shots back.

Snotlout then made the terrible move of charging at him as he fired his paintball gun.

Hiccup taking several deep breaths charged at Snotlout. Snotlout was in the open grass as he charged. In front of Hiccup was a fallen trunk. Using as much speed as he can he jumped over it head first into a roll and shot his gun.

The paintball hit him in the knee. Hiccup smirked to himself. "Snotlout is out!"

"Ugh I can't believe I didn't get you once."

"That's because you have terrible aim." Hiccup told him.

Snotlout just grumbled as Hiccup chuckled.

Both boys met everyone else in a circle in the middle of the forest clearing.

"Nicely done Hiccup." Brandr congratulated him.

"Thanks Bran."

Hiccup looked up to see the sun on its way down.

"Time to go, why don't we go to the movies after dinner?" He suggested.

A chorus of sures were echoed.

They walked back to the twin's house to shed themselves of the paintball gear and rode out to a restaurant. It was there that Brandr looked up movies playing at hitter local cinema. The group chose a movie and set off after dinner.

When the movie ended it was close to 11 o'clock at night. They separated after the movie was over and told Brandr they will all be at Hiccup and Toothless's house early to say goodbye to him.

Before they all went their separate ways Brandr told them how much fun he had today and that he was glad that they were his friends.

Hiccup had such a fun time with all of his friends but he treaded tomorrow where they would have to say goodbye to Brandr.
