"C'mon bud, let's get back to berk." Hiccup said
Toothless cooed and started coursing towards berk.
About a few hours into the flight, Hiccup decided to call it quits for the night.
"We need to find a place to rest!" Hiccup yelled over the wind.
Astrid and Eret nodded and all three dragon riders took shelter in a nearby cave.
As soon as they landed, Hiccup, and Astrid hopped off their dragons.
¨Hey Hiccup, I will take first watch¨ Astrid said. ¨And don't bother arguing, you look like you're about to drop.¨
¨Astrid, I'm fine. I can take first watch.¨ Hiccup defended himself.
Astrid looked at him with a doubtful look. ¨I really don't think so, have you been sleeping lately?¨
¨Yes I have Astrid, I'm fine.¨ Hiccup said
¨Why do you have to be so stubborn, Hiccup!¨ Astrid yelled. ¨Just let me take the first watch, I will wake you up if something happens.¨
¨That's not happening Astrid, and you know it.¨
Astrid growled in frustration, I mean, did Hiccup have to be this damn stubborn?! She knew he was stubborn by nature but, dammit… he didn't have to be this stubborn.
¨Hiccup, just let me take first watch, I don't think anything will happen.¨ Astrid said.
It was Hiccup's turn to look doubtful.
¨Each time you have said that, something has happened, I'm not taking chances Astrid.¨ Hiccup said. ¨You said that each time I thought Dagur was going to attack, you said that the day before the screaming death attacked, and...¨ Poor Hiccup never got to finish his sentence.
¨I GET IT! Hiccup, just let me take first watch!¨ Astrid yelled. ¨Its not like Ragnarok is going to start if you let me take first watch.¨
Hiccup rolled his eyes.
¨Fine, my lady, you can take first watch, only if you promise nothing is going to happen.¨ Hiccup said.
¨I can't guarantee that… but I can promise Ragnarok won't happen if you let me take first watch, honestly, your more paranoid than a yak meeting a dragon!¨ Astrid pointed out.
The couple laughed, knowing it was true.
¨We are going to be up all night arguing, aren't we?¨ Hiccup asked.
¨I think so.¨ Astrid said.
Day came and it looked like Astrid had won their argument.
¨Morning sleeping beauty.¨ Astrid said, as she shook her chief hoping that he would wake up.
¨Mornin´ Astrid.¨ Hiccup replied.
¨Common, Stoickfeast is today… we need to get you back to Berk.¨ Astrid said. ¨We need a chief there to do the speech after all.¨
Hiccup looked startled.
¨WHAT?! I forgot about that.¨ He said.
Astrid laughed at him. ¨I bet, with your search for you uncle, no doubt.¨ ¨Listen, he was banished for a reason, and you don't need to put your life at risk due to curiosity.¨
¨Wait, Astrid, what are you talking about! No one ever said anything about me having an uncle!" Hiccup yelled
¨Umm... Don't worry about it, Hiccup, Last one to Berk is a rotten egg!¨ Astrid yelled.
¨Your going to regret racing a night fury, Astrid!¨ Hiccup teased.
¨Yeah, whatever!¨
¨OH you're so in for it!¨
And with that, the couple raced back to berk, despite being a few hours away.
They both put up a fight, there was a few times Astrid was in the lead, however, Hiccup having a night fury, had the clear advantage.
¨I told you.¨ Was all Hiccup said.
¨Alright you win.¨ Astrid said. ¨Don't tell anyone about this.¨
¨No worries there my lady.¨
The soon to be engaged couple ran as fast as they could to the town square where the whole village was waiting.
Dawnbreaker notes:
Hiccup and Astrid getting engaged? Also, Stoickfest up already? Hiccup seemed to forget all about the trappers/Dagur/the map (and his uncle search).
Well, they're now back to Berk but I don't think that's even near the end of it all. SOOO many mysteries still left unsolved!
Everything seems... hazy, going pretty fast here. Well, I'm not really the one to decide the pace of the story, I'm just an observer/helper/moderator guy :P
Still needing plenty of writers. As you can tell, the story isn't even half-way done! (at least to me it seems that way as nothing big has really happened yet that we've set up in the earlier chapters)
