After and hour, the landed in a island she had never seen before.

"Hiccup" she said

"Yes?"

"What is this?"

"It's and island" she rolled her eyes at the response.

"I know that you muttonhead. What I'm asking is why are we here. "

"This is one of my "secrets" as you call them. You are know queen Astrid from, the Hiccstrid

island. "

"Hiccstrid island" she smiled at the thought.

"Yeah. You're the queen and I'm the king. Hiccup and Astrid... Hiccstrid. What? You don't like it?"

"I love it Hiccup, thank you" She kissed him, and when they pulled out, she was smiling. Then something occurred to her.

"What did I ever do to get you?"

"What do you mean?" He asked. He seemed confused. Astrid smiled.

"Why do you like me so much? I mean, when we're kids, all I did was make fun of you and call you mean names. How did you ever manage to forgive us?" He shrugged

"I don't know, I just figured holding a grudge wouldn't do any good to me or to the others." She notice he had said "the others" not "you"

"What, you weren't mad at me?"

"No, why would I be mad at you? You were the only one who never said anything bad about me and except the time you met Toothless, you had never hurt me. Physically or emotionally."

That was true. She had never said anything bad about Hiccup. She just didn't like to say something bad about other people behind their backs. She always thought that if you had something to say, say it in front of the person or don't say anything at all.

"Plus" he added " I've always liked you"

She couldn't help it. She kissed him again.

"Wow. I really need to do things like this more often. I get bonus kisses for it." She laughed

"Shut up dragon boy."

"Your wishes are my command milady. Come on" he pulled her hand as they went to explore their island. Their secret little island.

They found a waterfall in the heart of the island and they decided to eat there.

"Care to swim with me before eating?" Hiccup asked.

"Is it safe?" She asked

"Only one way to find out" he responded. Astrid thought it for a second and said.

"You go first and then we'll talk about it." He quickly went up the little waterfall and took of his shirt. He screamed while he was jumping and with a loud splash he submerged in the water. She laughed and waited for him to come up. But he didn't. The smile on his face disappeared

"Hiccup?" Panic started to fill her chest. He didn't responded so she jumped into the little lake and started swimming, well, more like splashing. She started to drown when behind her, strong arms got her and swam with her towards the shore.

"You okay?" Hiccup asked. She was really mad at him.

"Why would you do that?" She punched his arm hard.

"Ow! I'm sorry but when I jumped, my prosthetic hit a rock and it sounded hollow so I went exploring and I found something." He suddenly realized something.

"What? What did you find?" She asked

"You're afraid of the water" he said. It wasn't a question

"Don't change the subject" she snapped

"That why, when we were 18, when we were in Dragon's edge, when you fell of Stormfly, you didn't just swim to land."

She wouldn't meet her eyes.

There was a beat.

"And you still came to rescue me." He said. His green eyes were shining with delight.

"What was I supposed to do? Wait to see wh-" she didn't get to finish the sentence. Hiccup pulled her into a kiss and when he pulled out, he said

"Gods, I love you so much" Astrid couldn't tell how much time did they stayed that way, looking into each other's eyes. But then Hiccup broke eye contact

"Why are you afraid of water?" He asked. She sighed

"I don't know. Bad things happen to me when I'm in the water, that time we were 15 and I fell into the river and I almost drowned*, in Dragon's edge... So when I went into the water I kind of panicked" Hiccup frowned

"You can't swim?"

"Yes I can, but I guess I'm too scared to do it" after staying a few seconds silent, Hiccup finally said

"Well, if you want to see what've found, you're going to get over the fear, come on, I'll help you"

It took them a few hours and they had to stop to eat, but she finally got it.

"Can we please go to see what you found now?" She asked after siting in the grass.

"Sure, just wait here."

"Where are you going?"

"Oh, Toothless has been alone for a few hours and I just want to check if he's okay."

"Okay" little did she know that that wasn't Hiccups real purpose.

Hiccup ran to the beach and found Toothless checking out a seashell, but when he saw him he immediately stopped and ran to meet his owner. He licked his face a little bit and after Hiccup chasing him a bit, Hiccup finally got to the little bag on Toothless saddle to get his gift.

"Okay bud, this is it. Wish me luck." Toothless purred in approval and Hiccup ran off.

"Ready?" Hiccup asked. They had already dived to the little entrance of an underwater cave and Astrid had her eyes closed. She nodded.

"Then open you eyes" what she saw made her gasp. She was in a beautiful cave. Illuminated by the light that came from the entrance. Oh my gods the ceiling. It was filled with breath taking stones. Rubies, sapphires... She couldn't believe how many beautiful things could be kept in that little cave.

"It's the most beautiful thing I have ever seen." She said she wasn't looking at Hiccup, but if she had she would of noticed something. Suddenly he started to whistle a song. Wait no not just any song, he was whistling the song. OH GODS THIS WAS HAPPENING she thought

I'll swim and sail on savage seas,

with never fear of drowning

And gladly ride the waves of life...

If you would marry me.

She turned around, with tears in her eyes and there he was, on one knee, holding a golden ring. It was shaped like a golden dragon the tail nearly touching it's snout. It was the most beautiful thing Astrid had ever seen. And she was in a cave full diamonds. It's was nothing compared to that. She wondered, how something so small, could hold so much.

"Astrid Hofferson, would you make me the happiest man on Berk and on the whole world and marry me?" Astrid didn't know if to cry or laugh. She did both. One simple word, but it was everything Hiccup needed.

"Yes" he came and kissed her. They were engaged. And no one was going to take that away from them.
