So chapter 3, basically it's a semi long hiccstrid moment

Astrid and hiccup continue their race in the sky but once night falls the race quickly turns into a hide and seek match in the clouds and hiccup was winning, it's not even a contest as hiccup and toothless disappear into the dark night blending in with the surroundings. Deadly nadders were never the stealth type dragon so stormfly sticks out like a sore thumb but well.. She manages to hide in the bigger clouds much to hiccups surprise. Whenever she's out in the open astrid was always searching for hiccup and ofcourse hiccup just watches on from a patch of clouds where toothless has hidden them but suddenly stormfly begins thrashing left and right, and astrid is visibly distressed with her dragons sudden actions. Then the unthinkable happens, stormfly does a somersault but it wasn't intended by astrid and so she was caught off gaurd and wasn't able to hang on to her saddle. Astrid was failling straight to the ocean below them but after a few seconds hiccup and toothless swoop down with great speed too catch her...

Hiccup: astrid!

Toothless catches her effortlessly on his back like a well rehearsed trick, hiccup let's out a huge sigh of relief but is quickly followed by a loud chuckle behind him

Astrid: (laughs) I win (laugh)

Hiccup: whaa? You mean that was-

Astrid: yup (smile) a trick..

Hiccup: and the whole falling to your death thing?

Astrid: an act (laugh) you should've seen your face (giggle) astriid (nasal tone)

Hiccup: well, excuse me for worrying about you..

Astrid: I appreciate your concern hiccup.. but that's completely unnecessary, I can handle myself (punch) ok?

Hiccup: I know, I know..

Astrid: great, keep that in mind and maybe next time you'll beat me (smile)

Hiccup: somehow I don't think that's gonna happen (laugh) what about stormfly? Where is she?

Astrid: behind us.. she was in on the whole thing.. stormfly!

Stormfly appears behind them and slowly glides to toothlesses side, astrid pats her head and scratches her jaw

Astrid: isn't that right? good giiirl, who's gonna have a big barrel of chicken tonight, you are...

Hiccup: (stares at her in disbelief) astrid..

Astrid: relaax, It's just an act.. Which, by the way worked like a charm (grins)

Hiccup: and how exactly do you call falling hopelessly to the ocean a success?

Astrid: I found you didn't I? That's a win in my playbook

Hiccup: well, what If I didn't make it in time-

Astrid: well you did, so that makes us, 4 wins and 3 losses

Hiccup: (sigh) you know, if you'd told me sooner I would've let you win.. No dramatic falling needed... But of course you're-

Astrid: (scoffs) I'd marry snotlout first before that happens.. I'm not gonna accept charity.. That'll just take all the fun out of it

Hiccup: yeah, cause failing to your death in the bottom of the ocean is always a whole lot of fun (sarcastic tone)

Astrid: oh like you haven't done it.. Where'd you think i got the "crazy" idea from?

Hiccup: I don't know.. whaat you're talking about astrid?

Astrid: don't play dumb, you and toothless.. ESPECIALLY you, (pokes him) jumping off your dragon without a care in the world

Hiccup: uuh that's ridicu- it was.. toothlessess, idea (awkward laugh) you know how he gets? Always trying to show of-mph (Whisper)

Toothless looks at hiccup from the side and slaps him with his right ear flap, followed by a snort

Astrid: yeah, and I'm supposed to believe that.. (Laugh)

Hiccup: I'm kidding, Mr grumpy (looks at toothless) anyway.. It's not the same thing..

Astrid: and how was my plan any different from what you're always doing?

Hiccup: uh a-alot of things..

Astrid: alright.. tell me, then I MIGHT consider not doing it again..

Hiccup: really astrid? do we really have to go over this.. Now

Astrid: fine have it your way, I'll keep jumping off until you-

Hiccup: woah settle down.. First of all.. I don't make a scene whenever I jump off

Astrid hits Hiccup's side which causes him to stop talking

Hiccup: auwf.. Se-cond (hoarse voice) I have toothless to catch me

Astrid: so? Stormfly can do that too

Hiccup: yeah, last time i checked me and toothless caught you.. not stormfly

Astrid: hey! the only reason stormfly didn't catch me was because I said so, if I didn't tell her to, she'll definitely go after me

Hiccup: are you sure?

Astrid: of course, in a heartbeat

Hiccup: well then let's test that out (nods at toothless)

Hiccup spins toothless over which causes astrid who was careless enough to not hold on falling.. Again

Astrid: hiccuuup!

Stormfly rushes in and tries to grab astrids hand but was short by a few feet, she is still falling when toothless and hiccup grab her again, placing her in her previous spot. The moment she was able to hold on to something for safety she immediately punches hiccup in his side which causes hiccup to wince

Hiccup: ouch! (Pained laughter)

Astrid: that wasn't funny hiccup

Hiccup: what's wrong, I thought you liked crazy ideas

Astrid: that was way too close, i could've-

Hiccup: relaax, what was it again?.. an "act"

Astrid: hiccup, keep talking and I'm seriously gonna push YOU off

Hiccup: you do realize we're on the same dragon right?.. And toothless can't fly without me, so if you push me off we're basically going down together..

Astrid: wow, figured that one all by yourself

Hiccup: alright Mr's grumpy (laugh) let's just get back to berk.. Maybe you just need your beauty sleep (yawn)

Astrid: and maybe you just need a punch in the face

Hiccup: (laugh) alright soorry astrid.. Besides whaat's so wrong about sleeping?

Astrid: it's not sleeping I'm mad about hiccup...

Hiccup: I said I was sorry.. What? do you need toothlesses apology too? Say sorry bud..

Toothless just snickers and hiccup let's out a small laugh

Hiccup: toothless.. (suppressed laughter).. He's sorry in the inside

Astrid doesn't think twice and hits him again.. But not as hard

Hiccup: aaw, wh-why me? He's the one laughing at you

Astrid: and why would I hit a dragon? Besides I haven't punched you enough yet

Hiccup: ook? Maybe you'd like to tell me why you're showering me with affection..

Astrid punches him again but still not as hard as usual, probably getting tired herself

Hiccup: ouch?

And they stay silent for a few minutes.. Then..

Astrid: fine.. Why do you want heather to get a dragon so much?

Hiccup: here we go.. I thought you're ok with this?

Astrid: no hiccup, i was forced to be ok.. YOU forced me to..

Hiccup: i didn't force you.. i just gave you a little push, I mean i thought you two were already friends by now..

Astrid: we are it's just- hey!

Astrid punches hiccup side again from the back

Hiccup: whaat? What now? Oww my sides..

Astrid: don't turn this on me

Hiccup: geez.. Astrid.. I think I just heard something snap..

Astrid: answer the question hiccup, why do you want heather to get a dragon so much?

Hiccup: why is this so important to you all of sudden?

Astrid: because.. I want to hear what you'll say

Hiccup: You know at some point saying "i want to remember what you'll say" (reference from the first movie) won't get you all the answer

Astrid: I said "I want to Hear what you'll say" not remember..

Hiccup: oh ok, that's completely different (sarcastic)

Astrid: are you gonna answer me or not..

Hiccup: i don't know..

Astrid: that's not an answer hiccup..

Hiccup: fine (sigh) maybe because, I just want to

Astrid: great, that answers all my questions

Hiccup: what? astrid.. Wait where're you going?

Astrid stands up and whistle's for stormfly, seconds after her call stormfly glides closer to them, close enough for astrid to jump on and fly past Toothless..

Hiccup: astrid! Let's catch up to them bud..

Hiccup and toothless quickly catches up with stormfly, who slows down because toothless is apparently blocking the way

Hiccup: astrid, slow down, are you mad at me or something?

Astrid whispers something to stormfly and stormfly suddenly shoots spine shots at hiccup, toothless and hiccup easily dodge her attacks

Hiccup: (phew) ok she's mad.. Is it something I said?

Astrid: ...

Hiccup: Seriously astrid? You're giving me the silent treatment

Astrid: ...

Hiccup: oh ok, real mature..

Astrid: ...

Hiccup: fine be that way, two can play at that game..

Astrid: ..(scoff)..

Hiccup: ..(scoff)..

The quiet night went on.. Toothless and stormfly kept flying and when they were nearing berk hiccup finally breaks the silence

Hiccup: look at that, berk.. Where some vikings are known to be.. stubborn, violent and veery childish... am I right bud?

Toothless not really understanding what Hiccup's getting at just reluctantly nods and looks at hiccup

Astrid: you know what stormfly I think I heard something.. Must be those annoying terrible terrors..

Hiccup just laughs at her comparison knowing full well she was still giving him the silent treatment. He flies beside stormfly and starts to laugh

Hiccup: (laughs) really terrible terrors.. Do I really look like a terrible terror? I mean I'm not a dragon but if I were.. I always thought I'd be more of a nightfury kindof guy or maybe a gronckle.. you know because of all these rock hard muscles on my body.. Yeah feelin that?

Hiccup flexes his arms, and astrid couldn't help but snicker at his sarcastic actions and words

Astrid: (laughs) terrible terror seems right

Hiccup: yes! Finally words are coming out of your mouth

Astrid: shut up, you deserved it

Hiccup: for what? What did I say that deserved the silent treatment?

Astrid: augh.. you know what you said

Hiccup: no I don't, that's why I'm asking you

Astrid: fine.. I'm just gonna ask you again, and I expect a better answer than "because I want to" (imitates hiccups voice)

Hiccup: that's it? That's what this is all about?

Astrid: yes, I mean no augh! Just.. Answer the question.. and don't say "because i want too" or else

Hiccup: so basically I have to say something that you'll like.. Yeah, this conversation is feeling very one sided..

Astrid: or would you rather have no conversation at all, it's your choice

Hiccup: (sigh) ok.. I give up, just tell me what you want me to say.. so all of this can be over with

Astrid: that's not the point hiccup.. I want to know why you're so annoyingly happy and excited about heather! Getting a dragon..

Hiccup: fine, you really want to know why

Astrid: yes hiccup, if that isn't plainly obvious yet

Hiccup: astrid, Toothless is the bestfriend I've ever had, (pats toothlesses head) I never thought a dragon of all things would mean so much to me right now.. And if I have the chance to give someone or anyone the same bond that i have with my dragon by giving them their own, then that's just amazing.. Dragons are amazing, wonderful creatures that can bring people together. I mean look at you and stormfly, what if you never met her, can you still say that you're ok.. With everything

Astrid: (looks at stormfly) I'd be devastated if stormfly wasn't here

Hiccup: see, I'm sure heather wants something like that too, and let's face it everyone needs a friend like toothless, stormfly or even hookfang

Astrid: alright.. (Smiles) you got me, that's definitely better than "because i want to"

Hiccup: that's it? I just gave a heartwarming speech and all I get is better than "because i want to" (sigh) remind me to never answer your questions again..

Astrid: well, what am I supposed to say? (Laugh)

Hiccup: i don't know maybe "sorry for doubting you hiccup"

Astrid: (sigh) ok fine.. Sorry for doubting you hiccup

Hiccup: oh don't forget sorry for being such a violent-

Astrid: ok that's pushing it.. Cmon girl fly us home

Stormfly and toothless descends towards to berk

Hiccup: well I tried.. Let's go bud

Both of them land near Astrid's house, astrid brings Stormfly to her stable and hiccup follows

Hiccup: ok then.. See you when the sun comes up

Astrid: augh don't remind me..

Hiccup: astriiid..

Astrid: i know, i know..

Hiccup: well Goodnight

After greeting astrid goodnight hiccup turns his back, and walks towards toothless

Astrid: Hey hiccup..

Hiccup: yes milady

Astrid punches hiccups arm that causes hiccup to wince and yelp in pain

Astrid: that's.. for not being clear

Hiccup: Aw!.. how many times are you gonna keep pun-

Astrid grabs hiccups tunic and pulls him in for a kiss, their lips slowly part and hiccup spaces out in the heat of the moment, astrid on the other hand smiles at his face. Seeing his reaction to her kiss made her happy and giddy inside, but of course on the outside she was still the cool and deadly astrid hofferson..

Hiccup: whatever, I don't really care (smiles)

Astrid smiles brightly and walks towards her door, while hiccup is still trying to feel the traces of her lips on his, toothless comes in to pull him back to berk. He looks at hiccup with an expression that exudes "are you done? can we go now?" Hiccup seems to understand him in their own weird way of talking with each other

Hiccup: alright already, you really are a bossy dragon..
