Hey all! Sorry this is so late, lots going on, and I don't want to bore you with the details. So… on the review responses

Lorde: Yeah, well he just watched his father die, that kind of thing causes depression ;) and yes, really. Eret Son Eret is here, but really just a cameo… maybe ;) Yummmmmmm trapper arms. I'm gonna go after them trapper arms… ;) And this story is going to end (sorry) but maybe not the series. I'm thinking about a third.

Hiccstrid4Life: Well, official first 'I love you' without anyone leaving the state! I know, but Hiccup's gotta do what Hiccup's gotta do… dude, someone should make a crack with that song behind Eret, it fits… and yes! Astrid and Scarlett are 'friends'! That last line is just Scarlett being protective of Hiccup, don't give me any ideas ;) I did, then I was like 'They already hate me enough, better not push it'.

P.S.: My sister was in my principal's homeroom for four years before she graduated. Yeah…

P.S.S: Pewds is awesome sauce. My friend showed me him and I got hooked.

Blue Guest 2: They are! And I'm sure Hiccup is going to be in mourning for a while, I mean, it's his dad, when my grandpa died; I saw my dad cry for the first time. Yeah it sucks losing a parent. And don't worry, Eret was just a cameo. I felt the need to stress that point.

Guest: Here you go!

So, I own nothing and enjoy!

"Say it,"

"No."

"Say. It."

"Hiccup, you're hurting me."

"Say it again."

"It's like, three o'clock in the morning. I want to sleep."

"Please."

"Oh for God's sake, I love you. There you happy?" Astrid turned her head and glared at him "I have work tomorrow."

Hiccup laid back down "I'm just trying to think of anything else... for one second..."

Astrid looked down, it was two days before Hiccup and Scarlett had to leave, and tomorrow (well today, it was three in the morning) was the funeral.

"Babe..." She whispered

"I'll be fine, when I get back home, I'll be fine."

Astrid laid back in her bed and sighed "You haven't slept in days."

"I'm fine. I'll be fine."

"Hiccup, you are talking to a girl who was abused for three years, and has cut for six years-"

"I thought you quit."

Astrid's eyes widened "That's beside the point. I know you're not fine."

"Astrid, seriously, I'm fine."

"Okay... Well, I hope you're telling the truth."

"I am." Hiccup kissed her

Astrid pushed Hiccup off of her "Whoa there Casanova. Off, now."

Hiccup rolled off of her and laid next to her. "I-I'm still thinking about it... I can't stop."

"Oh, babe..." Astrid tried to hug him, but he pushed her away "What's wrong?"

"I'm sick of being weak!" Hiccup got up and walked out of her room. Astrid got up quickly and followed him

"It's not weak you just lost your dad- you can cry!" Hiccup walks too fast for a person with a peg leg. How is that even possible? God, she hates him. "You know you can cry in front of me."

"God Astrid!" Hiccup hit the wall with an open fist, and Astrid jumped back, hand clutching the shirt she 'borrowed' from Hiccup "I don't want to fucking cry anymore! I'm sick of crying!" Hiccup kept hitting the wall until, finally he slid down to his knees. "I can't believe he's gone. He-he's never going to see me get married, or-or have kids. He's gone." Hiccup pulled his knees to his chest, feet so unnaturally different, but nothing came out "He's gone." He looked up at Astrid, green eyes shining in the dark, so- so-

Helpless.

"Hiccup," Astrid didn't know what to feel, sure, she's been beaten, almost bleed to death a couple times, but she's never lost a parent. "I- don't have anything say..."

"Then don't."

So, Astrid did what she did best, she held him until they fell asleep on her cold, tile kitchen floor.

Valka honestly didn't feel anything as she watched her husband being put in the ground. She was holding Hiccup's hand, as he tried not to cry, but she didn't feel.

God, it was high school all over again.

Shouldn't she be feeling something for her husband of twenty one years, and the only guy she's ever been with, a whole twenty six years of her life gone with one bullet (although it was lodged into a major artery. So, basically Stoick bled to death...) Valka shuddered, and not because of the cold Minnesota January weather. She didn't want to think about Stoick- well you know...

"Mama?" Valka snapped out of her thoughts. Wow, Hiccup called her mama,

"Hiccup, Love, what is it?"

"It's time to leave."

Valka looked at Stoick's grave (it read "Gerard James Haddock... Even in death you are Stoic." Ugh, she knew she should've written it. They didn't even spell it right.) one last time, before turning on her heel to leave.

Why couldn't she feel anything? Valka turned her head as she walked away and stared at the grave, and felt something cold and hard grip her heart, something she hasn't felt since high school. Once again, the walls guarding her heart that Stoick broke down, were around her heart.

Astrid understood that Hiccup wanted to be alone. But when he's leaving tomorrow is it so wrong that Astrid was to be with him as much as she could.

Astrid set her keys in the key bowel by her front door with a sigh. Astrid walked, like a zombie; stupid Hiccup for keeping her up all night, to her kitchen table. A metal glint caught her eye. Her razor. Her cuts from the last time, a week ago which is a new personal best in two years, were healing, but-

Astrid looked at her arms and the cuts were turning white. Scarring. The only scars she really had from high school was the 'Hiccup' scar from two years ago, though it was fading, you could only see it when you squint.

Astrid reached for the razor, which had become a habit in the last six years, and held it in her hand.

Maybe just one little cut would make it better. Just a small one, on her wrist that no one will notice…

Astrid lifted the razor and slid it across her skin, a small gash that made Astrid gasp in pain. But she still didn't feel better. One more, then she'll stop.

So, right under the first gash, she makes another one, longer and bigger. She still didn't feel better.

One more… just one more…

Scarlett zipped up her suitcase and thought about the last two weeks. It was a hell of a roller coaster of emotions. All she expected was to go to a wedding, never to tell Hiccup that she loves him (did she still love him? Ugh, boys are confusing…) and his dad die. Stoick did not deserve to go out with bang like that.

"Scarlett, can you put your suitcase by the front door! We have an early flight tomorrow!" She heard Hiccup yell

Scarlett lifted the thousand pound suitcase, it really wasn't a thousand pounds; Scarlett has always over dramatic, and lugged it down the stairs.

"Make sure you get some sleep tonight." She told Henry, who rolled his eyes "Henry, I'm serious. You look like you got hit by a truck."

"Gee, thanks." Deadpanned Hiccup

"You're twenty one, you shouldn't have bags under your eyes."

"I'm fine, I told Astrid that, and now I'm telling you. I'm fine."

"Okay, well, I'm off to bed. Night Henry."

"Night Scarlett."

Scarlett gave Henry a friendly hug and started to run back to the guest room, but turned halfway and looked at Hiccup. He had this confused look on his face that made Scarlett smile "You're the best friend anyone could ever have, you know that right?"

"I- no, I didn't Scarlett."

"Well, you are… night Henry."

"Nigh Scarlett."

And she ran the rest of the way to the room.

Meh, kind of a crappy ending and I'm sorry about that, so, only a couple more chapters to go, then I'll make up my mind about a third one (which will be the final one in the series). So, have an awesome rest of the week, make good choices, hugs no drugs, mess with the bull, get the horns, Andrew Clark doesn't wear tights, he wears the required uniform, (which is totally tights) and any other clichés you can come up with.
