Hey all! The response on the last chapter was great! But I must set one thing straight: I don't cut myself. Just to set you all straight. :)
Now, to answer your reviews!
Guest: Maybe, maybe not. You'll just have to wait and see :)
Lorde: Thanks! And come on, it won't be a part of the Perfect series without Astrid cutting herself!
I'veNoIdea4AName: Scarlett and Astrid shall be friends! And I hope Hiccstrid (or Asscup according to Jay) can get together…
Guest (2): I thought so to, and then I was like 'What can I do to make everyone hate me? I could kill off Stoick, but Dreamworks already did that, I know! I'll make Astrid cut herself again!'
Hiccstrid4Life: I can't give you a clue! Sorry! And thanks! I know about my crush, I'm thinking about making him read this series and being all like 'Sound familiar huh?'
So, I own nothing!
Stay Perfect! (No pun indented…)
PS: Before you read this story, give a big around of applause to Shipper-nut. I asked her to draw art for this series for a YouTube video, and she said yes. She's the greatest! Thanks again!
"Man, your ass is fine!" Joked Scarlett, fixing an earring as she walks out of Henry's bathroom "I didn't know your ass looked that good. Zip me up?"
Henry laughed as he zipped her red dress. "Thanks, I think. Your ass looks fine to."
"I know..."
Henry laughed again. They were getting ready for Ruff and Fish's rehearsal dinner (man, it's not every day where you get to rehearse your meal before you eat it...).
Henry's eyes trailed to the navy blue box sitting on his dresser ad swallowed.
"Are you going to give it to her?" Henry shrugged and fixed his suit jacket. "Oh Henry... it'll be the only way to get over her..."
Henry looked at his best friend and smiled. He grabbed the box and stuffed it in his pocket.
"Good boy..." Scarlett kissed his cheek "Let's go..."
Henry finished his second glass of red wine, and winced at the bitter tasted. His waitress set down another glass and took his empty glass.
"Leave the bottle..." He grabbed the bottle, and the lady laughed. The waitress looked at his chin, the scar that was on his chin, and gasped "What? I know I cut myself shaving but..."
"Henry?"
"Uh, yeah? Should I know you?"
"No..." The green eyes of the waitress looked down "But a mother never forgets..."
"Astrid..."
Astrid looked backwards and saw Scarlett. She groaned and looked away
"I know I'm probably not your favorite person... honestly if I were you, i know I wouldn't like me either. But, Astrid, Henry and I are just friends. I don't know, we tried dating, but he's so... so... I don't know, he's just..."
"Yeah. I know." Smiled Astrid "I have dated him before..."
Scarlett looked down "Henry is overworking himself and I don't know what to do..."
"What?" Asked Astrid "He's what?"
"Yeah, he's at work at seven in the morning, and doesn't get home until nine at night, and sometimes falls asleep in the kitchen..."
Astrid looks down, then back at Scarlett "Hiccup would never do that to himself..."
"I don't know about Hiccup," Scarlett sneaks a glance at Henry "But, Henry would..."
"You're my mother?" The cold, brisk air hits Henry like a bag of bricks. "That's-that's not possible. Everyone thinks your dead... I saw your dead body..."
Valka looks at her son and sighed "I-I had to leave... your father and I-..." Henry looks down "We loved each other, it's true, but Henry... you were so young..."
"I have questions! Where have you been for the past twenty one years? Why did you leave? H-how did you leave?"
"Henry?" The mother and son heard
"Who is that?" Asked the mother
"Uh, Astrid, can it wait?" Henry turned back around, and his mother was gone "What?"
"No, it can't, you ass. Get your ass up here!"
"Coming..."
When Henry walked to Astrid, Astrid started to punch him.
"You jerk!"
"Astrid?!" Henry clutched his stomach "What was that for?"
"What the hell Hiccup!? Who do you think you are?"
"I don't know what you're talking about Astrid!"
"You broke my heart!"
"What does that have to do with anything?"
"Everything!" Astrid screamed "It has to do with everything Hiccup!"
"Astrid…"
"I hate you…"
Henry looked down "I know you do. But Astrid-"
"You think you're so cool, with you being a CEO, and with a metal leg, and-and a girlfriend who doesn't cut herself-"
"She's not my girlfriend!"
"That's not the point Hiccup!" Astrid screamed, punching him in the shoulder "The point is that you shouldn't be burring yourself in work! That isn't Hiccup that I know."
"Well, news flash Astrid, I'm not the Hiccup you once knew."
Astrid rolled her eyes "And I'm not the same Astrid."
"I can tell."
"You think you're so smug Hiccup. Well you're not."
"It's Henry now." Henry stated, then walked away
Astrid felt a tear drip down her cheek "I didn't even get to tell you the worse part…"
Henry went back into the hall and grabbed another glass of wine.
"You're going to drown yourself Hiccup."
Henry gave his best friend a look and drank more. Fishlegs sighed and grabbed a glass for himself.
"I didn't expect you to be a drinker…" said Fish
"I only drink when I'm stressed."
"Which with your job is a lot I'm guessing."
"You'd be surprised at all little that is." Smiled Henry
"Man, isn't that a scary thought, I'm getting married tomorrow."
"I think you're an idiot for getting married at twenty one."
Fishlegs smiled and Ruff walked up to them.
"You shouldn't be talking Henry, you don't even have a girlfriend."
"I have Scarlett…" Henry cocked his head to his best friend, who was talking to a guy that gave Henry a bad feeling.
"Yeah, I can tell." Deadpanned Ruff
Henry gave her a look and walked over to Scarlett.
"Hey Henry," smiled his best friend "This is Jake."
"Hello Jake, I'm Henry, Scarlett's best friend." Henry said
"Sup man?" Jake stuck out his hand for Henry to shake, but Henry gave it a look like it was acid.
"Scarlett, we need to go."
"Okay, but give me your keys. You're drunk off your ass."
Astrid walked into her dark apartment with a drunk Ruff on her arm.
"Come on Ruff, you need to help me out here…"
"I am getting married tomorrow! Astrid! I'm getting married! How crazy is that!?"
"It's nuts…"
"Did-did you know that Fish's real name is Freddie!" Ruff laughed
"Wow, that's cool." Astrid started to make tea for her. She pulled out a mug and started boiling the water
"And, and did you know that Henry is still in love with you…"
The mug slipped out of Astrid's hands and tumbled to the floor…
Done! Man, I like this chapter! I hope you do to! There's a lot going on in this chapter isn't there... next is the wedding! See ya next chapter!
