Chapter 3: time to be brave
Astrid and Valka laughed as they were enjoying they were sharing and seeing why the both got along so well. Astrid brought up the courage to ask Valka a question "When was the first time you sang the song in the open? was it with Stoick?".
Valka amazed by Astrid's excitement and started thinking back to the first time her and Stoick had sang and danced in front of the looked to Astrid and said "i sang the song when Stoick sang it and asked for mu hand in at the same time sure i was afraid cause it was in front of the hole village , but seeing him do that made me want to Jump in Stoick was a brave soul and i was drawn in".
Astrid amazed by Valka and said "That's amazing i wish Hiccup would do that and even if he was made fun of it wouldn't be for long id make sure of that".
Valka smiled even wider said "oh Astrid dear you remind me of myself at your age , i'm so glad you and my son got together"
Astrid started feeling over joyed hearing Hiccup's mother say that to back at the forge Hiccup and Gobber practiced all morning long till Hiccup got it right and he could sing it all with out fail. Hiccup wanted to be sure he would be ready for when he would see Astrid next. Gobber laughed and took a seat grabbing his mug and refilling it.
He looked to Hiccup and said "Excellent! lad your ready your father if he was here, Stoick would be proud shoot i bet hes in the halls of valhalla right now going that a boy Hiccup".
Hiccup was happy with his accomplishment he even laughed thinking thats what Stoick is probably doing with a cup of mead in his hand. saying that's his boy with all the other chiefs from berks history Hiccup was happy he caught on so well.
He looked to Gobber and said proudly "Thanks Gobber for everything and this afternoon i will do as my father did and hopefully get the maiden. While most likely be laughed at by Snotlout and the gang".
Gobber laughed and said "If Astrid likes the song lad and you sing it as well as you just did im sure you will, she would probably beat Snotlout if he did. I've known you kids since you were we lads and lasses i'd bet my good arm on it".
Hiccup feeling confident grabbed a piece of paper and wrote a note to Astrid and called Stormfly. The dragon flew over and landed down next to Hiccup ,He finished the note putting it in a metal cylinder tying it to Astrid's sattle.
He looked to Stormfly and said "thanks girl now take this and give it to Astrid, go find her Stormfly".
Stormfly took off in no time into the sky and Hiccup waved by to Gobber and ran to prepair for what he was gonnah do. He ran home as fast as his legs would carry him throwing a salmon to toothless went upstairs put on his flight suit and grabbed a silver ring with what looked like had Astrid x Hiccup carved on the inside.
He rushed outside and Toothless fallowed and he climbed on Toothless and they took to the sky and flew. He remembered an island that Fishlegs told him about that had blue flowers and he gathered some and jumped back on Toothless. They took to the sky and flew back to berk Hiccup was glad Toothless could fly so fast. He landed outside his house and Fishlegs was outside his house holding papers and meatlug was lying down next to him.
Fishlegs looked to Hiccup and said "Hiccup i found more info on some new boulder class dragons and we can update the book of dragons and...".
In a rush Hiccup looked to Fishlegs and said "That's great Fishlegs but i can't update the book now so can i trust you and put you in charge of that ?"
FIshlegs agreed and Hiccup ran quickly to the village square. moments past out in the woods of berk and Stormfly had found Astrid and Valka and landed next to Astrid. She was happy to see her Dragon but was curious to see the metal cylinder hanging off her sattle.
Astrid looked to her dragon and said "Stormfly let me see that". Stormfly lowered herself down low so Astrid could reach the sattle. Valka walked over and patted Stormfly and gently scratched under the dragons chin. She looked at Astrid and saw her pulling out a paper and reading something.
Valka looked to Astrid and said "what's that Astrid is it important".
Astrid read the paper which read Hey milady meet me in the middle of the village around noon - Hiccup.
Astrid surprised by this looked to Valka and said "Hiccup wants to see me in the middle of the Village strange that he wants to see me there , but i've been looking for him ruff must of said something later Valka".
Astrid and Stormfly were getting ready to take off when suddenly Valka jumped on Stormfly as well. Astrid confused by this Valka laughed and said "cloudjumper's home so i need a lift".
Astrid shrugged and they took off leaving the clearing and making it back to the village. They flew through the air until they reached the village square and landed Astrid looked to see if Hiccup was there. He was standing in the center sitting on Toothless looking started remembering why she was so mad yesterday and began walking.
Astrid walked over her arms crossed and she scowled at Hiccup remembering she was mad. He got off Toothless and walked over to her and rubbed the back of his head trying to look as sorry as he could. He looked to Astrid and said "Hey Milady, hey mom Astrid i heard you were mad and i am sorry for not picking up on why".
Astrid could tell he was sorry but she wasn't letting him off that easy. She looked at him looking in deep into his eyes and said "Really Hiccup cause a note to where you went would have been nice so i didn't have to waste time looking yesterday, and the girls from the day before or how about finally asking me and instead of letting me wait?"
She turned away in anger Hiccup knew she wasn't fooling she was angry and had every right to be. He looked to her and said "I know Astrid i am sorry but let me make it up to you".
She turned around still scowling at Hiccup then turned back and began walking away when suddenly someone whistled a familiar tune. Astrid turned to Valka thinking it was her but Valka looked around then smiled pointing back to Hiccup. Astrid turned around quickly and was amazed at what was about to happen.
