Chapter 4

-Coughs-

-Hacks-

-Wheeze-

"O-Op-Open the window!" Valka cried out from the fire place

"I-coughs-I got it!" I yelled as I opened it up causing all of the smoke to go billowing out of the house
"What-coughs-happened?"

"Just another cake…ruined." Valka said as she pulled the said desert from the side of the fire place where Hiccup had made a stone cavity that he said would help cook bread and cakes. So far, he's the only one that can get that darn spot to work.

"Well," I said as I walked over "it doesn't look too bad…It was chocolate...? Right..?"

"Vanilla." Valka said softly

"Oh, well…um…take two?" I said as I took the burnt cake (more like charcoal) from Valka and tossed it to Stormfly who engulfed it in one happy bite.

"More like 'take four'." Valka said with a faint smile

""Four'?" I questioned "I guess we'll definitely have some practice in making cakes then."

-Chuckles-"My son's humor is rubbing off on you too huh?" Valka said with a smile

"Is that a bad thing?"

"Of course not. But I'll make the cake again, and you can start with the decorating."

"That is a brilliant idea." I told her with a smile "Now…where are those mystery class symbols at?"

"'Mystery class symbols'?"

"That's what I'm going to decorate the walls with."

"Well, I'm sure he'll enjoy it greatly." Valka said as she grabbed the salt and prepared to pour it into the batter

"Um, I think that he would enjoy the cake as well if you didn't switch the salt for the sugar."

"What?" Valka said as she looked at her hand holding the ingredient. "Oh… yeah that wouldn't be good."

"Not really." I chuckled

"I wonder what it would taste like with salt instead of sugar…" Valka said in thought

"You don't want to know." I told her quickly

-Chuckles-"Previous experience?"

"Yeah." I told her with a smile "A very unpleasant one. I've never seen Hiccup's eyes get that big in shock then that night when he took a bite of my 'salt cake'. Oh, I will never forget that look!"

"Oh Astrid!" Valka laughed "By Odin's beard! I wish that I could've seen that take place! Now I really want to use the salt instead of the sugar. Just to see Hiccup's facial expression."

"NO!" I laughed loudly "Let's just use some sugar."

"Alright….Um, Astrid?"

"Yes Valka?"

"Do you have any more sugar?"

"Are we out?"

"I think so." Valka responded

-Sigh-"Alright…um…You finish decorating, and I'll go to the market and get some sugar real quick." I told her as I grabbed my boots and put them on

"Ok dear. Just be careful not to run into Hiccup. If you do…it might ruin his surprise." Valka warned me as she picked one of the many Mystery Class Symbols and hang it on the wall

"I will." I said as I mounted Stormfly "And I should be back within the hour. Hopefully we can still get Hiccup's cake done before the party."

"Hopefully. Now go. Fly at the speed of a night fury!"

"Or faster." I said with a wink

"Just go and get the sugar!" Valka laughed

Yeah I know…this one is short…sorry…but I'll be sure to make it up to you guys in the next few chapters!

Don't forget to review! XD
