As Noah made his way toward the common room he spotted Astrid walking along with her phone in hand texting with someone, judging by the movement of her fingers on the phone. "Who are you texting with?" Noah asked "no one in particular" Astrid replied not turning away to see Noah "you know that you'll crash with someone of you're not aware of your surroundings" he said "fuck off Fury" the blonde female said "so how was the project?" the raven-haired male asked "pretty much boring, but we finished ruff went to her dorm to put away the project in a safe place. And Hiccup?" she replied "he was tired so I let him sleep" the raven-haired male answered "well, he seemed a little off today, I don't know why but he did" she said with worry in her eyes "yeah I know, maybe it was lack of sleep" "I think he's hiding something" "why would he hide something we're his best friends" you're right, but I can't shake off that feeling I have, call it intuition" "well call it as you may, but whatever" Noah said as he shrugged" do you want to go to the common room for something to drink?" "Of course I was just stretching my legs a little" Astrid said heading to the opposite direction that she was going along with Noah

Hiccup woke up with the same feeling of hollowness that invaded his body, just as he recovered conscience with toothless on his chest snoring peacefully and suddenly waking up feeling the look oh his owner on him "hey bud, did you sleep well?" the brunet asked to his cat getting up as he reached for the clock on his night table "05:30" has he slept so long? He did not seem to remember anything after Noah left but even so he didn't feel like he rested at all, the sleep was forced, accomplished dutifully. He put on his shoes and said "are you coming?" to the feline laying in his bed receiving a, do I look like I want to go outside-look "ok, I get it. I'll get you something for dinner later" the brunet said exiting from the dorm. He walked down the hallway,
'so the little Hiccup doesn't know how to mask his emotions, that's a shame and we thought that you were going ti keep tour promise you know the one that you made as you saw your ex kissing someone that was not you, in other words cheated in you' the first voice said inside Hiccup's head
'gods, please shut up for once, are you gonna keep mocking me? Because if you didn't notice my friends were there, you didn't leave me alone in Astrid's torture-tour and AGAIN, I tell you that if Astrid finds out she will be all nosy about it, so I cannot do it in front of them and I'm sure because the Gods hate me,(A/N: nah, they don't hate you, and you shouldn't be blaming them I'm the one who writes the story *evil laughter*) so at least one of them will be in my classes, so heck ,I cannot act on a simple way like that, and I'm being lucky because Astrid would had found out by now Anything you ve got to say? ' the brunet thought as reached the elevator and descended to the 1st floor. '...' silence
"ok, so Noah said that I had to go left and left again" he said to himself as he walked next to the dorms. It didn't take him much to find the common room, nut it amazed him how big it was, the walls were painted in a light blue with the same white lines cutting it in a half, there were, various couches and sofas where to sir with coffee tables in front or between them and all were angled to face the big plasma tv in the wall, there were vending machines and soda dispensers too, and in the middle there was an already occupied sofa with Noah, fishlegs, Astrid and two other blondes, one male and one female, the male was dressed in plain jeans and a brown t-shirt, his blonde hair reaching upper back, the female had the same long hair just that hers was braided in two long ponytails, she was wearing some fashion ragged-jeans and a pink blouse, watching the tv; well, the last two were fighting and pulling their hair, the other three were watching tv unamused about the little war that was happening next to them. Hiccup couldn't help but roll his eyes 'it is good to see them again but I have to wear a façade to fool them' "aren't you going to stop them?" Hiccup asked to the three friends that were watching tv, but just as his voice sounded across the all turned their heads to him, making stop the fight that was happening between the twins, "don't need to, see? They've already stopped" Astrid said with a smug smile on her face "yeah but what if I didn't come down?" he asked "then probably separate them after we uploaded the video to the internet, 's nothing good on air." Astrid complained "hello fishbone, long time no seeing you" the male twin said "hello tuffnut, ruffnut how have you been?" the brunet asked "we would be better if you haven't left but whatever" ruffnut said. After hearing put about any details that had passed Astrid or Noah, that wasn't much but a little bit of details about the twins and snoutlout "so you're roommate with Fury heh? Doesn't he has the room a disorder like high school?" tuffnut said "please shut up" the raven-haired male groaned "and your schedule? what classes do you have?" ruffnut asked "oh yeah I haven't thought of that, Monica gave it to me but I haven't checked it yet" Hiccup said taking out of his pocket a folded paper, he unfolded it and passed to Astrid and the others to see it "no common classes with me, ruff or tuff" Astrid said "me neither or with johnny" Noah commented "or me" fishlegs added. 'wow, didn't see that coming .' the third voice said .could the gods had taken pity on him and let him run his plan as accorded? He could not believe it, he had hide a little smile that had appeared in his face as soon as he heard that "well, that's a shame, it seems that I won't have classes with you guys" Hiccup falsely complained "well at least we have the free period to meet and the rest of the day" Astrid said "yeah we can't ask for much, we have to adjust with what we've got so come on let's enjoy this holidays while we can don't we? Plus let's celebrate" the raven-haired male said "celebrate what?" the brunet asked "that you're back with us, you dumb. Don't you think that's a motive to celebrate?"the taller male said "ok, I'll go and wake up Cami and Anna, Hiccup you'll love them the moment you meet them they're really friendly, wait up for me" the female blonde said while leaving "I'll go with her, I just have to make sure that my roommate is behaving and she would want to come too so why not?"Ruffnut said following Astrid "well, I'll go and tell Johnny if he wants to go. He'll be where he always is when he gets out "Noah said leaving as well
"and we have to go and prepare if we want to go, tuff come please, and Hiccup please wait for us we won't take long" fishlegs said "huh?, why me? I don't want to go" Tuffnut complained "because you didn't clean YOUR part of the bedroom and the prefect will come at 7:00 so let's go, be back in a minute hiccup" fishlegs said taking tuffnut by the arm and leaving. As everyone left only Hiccup remained in the common room, "guess it's just me here then" Hiccup said as he sighted turning to watch a little of TV. 'Seriously, when did TV got that bad?' Hiccup thought s he searched for the channels with nothing much to see he decided to stay in a music channel 'well, at least the music is good 'he thought.

Noah and Johnny were the first to come, 15 minutes later came tuffnut and fishlegs with a backpack on its back, and 20 minutes after Astrid and ruffnut came with three other girls beside them one was a head shorter than Astrid, she had a comely face and was wearing a pair of shorts and a red blouse, she had short dyed her hair in an extravagant combination of colors and was talking with Astrid, an arm beside Astrid's waist 'that must be Anna' Hiccup thought, beside them came ruffnut talking with two other girls, one looked a lot like Astrid except that her blonde hair was unbraided and reached to her waist being all hyper as she seemed she couldn't stop babbling and babbling about things that Hiccup could not understand, she was wearing blue jeans and a light blue top,the other girl was way lot different from Astrid 2 but just in appearance because she was as hyper as the other, she had brown hair braided in a single pony tail behind her head, hazel eyes covered by a pair of glasses, the girl was wearing black shorts with a white blouse, she was shorter than ruff so she always seemed to look up just to talk the other two. "hey guys, sorry for being late. Hiccup this is Anna my girlfriend" Astrid introduced "I'm Anna Toothlington, nice to meet you and Hiccup is such a cute name" Anna said "who gave it to you? really and you also pook cute, are you free?" Astrid 2 said leaning closer to the brunet with each word"and this is Camicazi Shootstar, cami for short, she is kinda rude with introductions but she is very nice after you meet her, I'm Jessica Soulborn nice to meet you" the brunette introduced herself and Cami as she moved her away from Hiccup's vital space "yeah, but he hasn't answered my question yet, are you free?" Cami inquired "sorry but I'm not" Hiccup lied uneasy as he retreated to stay behind Noah that was next to him all the time. "well, where are we going?"Noah asked "i know a place that you'll love, it's an italian restaurant near the central plaza" Astrid said "that doesn't sound bad" fishlegs said "then what are we waiting for? I'm starving really let's go"Cami said while heading out of the vommon room "yeah, let's go"ruffnut said as she went out and the others followed her. For 9 people to enter inside of a nissan wss something that Hiccup would consider madness, so he was glad that ruff had a car of her own (a yellow beattle) in wich they went the owner of said car, tuffnut, cami and jessica; so e evidently the ones that went in the nissan were Noah, Astrid, Fishlegs, Johnny and Hiccup. When both of the cars were occupied they left the school property and turned to go to the central plaza. "And I'm like, hey babe sorry but i wasn't flirting with you, i just complimented you that's all, so obviously she slapped me and went like a total drama queen" johnny said in tha back of the car "well, you shouldn't have said that her skirt made her look like cinderella, because that wpuld be flirting, it would be like 'hey, you look like a princess and i want to be your prince so i will compliment you with what you're wearing', really you have to think better in what to say next time"Astrid said "but I'm johnny, flirting is my nature, and why does women have to be so complicated? I mean who wouldn't want this?" johnny whined as he signalled himself "yeah, you're a total catch johnny i wouldn't believe that someone won't fall for you" Hiccup said, words dripping sarcasm "hardy har har, very funny Hiccup, but even like that i still have more girls than you" the taller brunet said "how you put it into words, that you can comprehend" Hiccup asked himself "oh, right that's because, I at least can have a stable relationship"Hiccup countered back "ooooooh, burn! He totally got you Blackwell, admit it" Noah snickered not turning to look away from the road "whatever" johnny said with a faint blush on his face.
10 minutes later they arrived at the crentral plaza, so far it was the same as Hiccup had first seen it, the fountain was working, there were some shops like any comercial spot would have. "soooo, where is this so called restaurant that you're taking us?" tuffnut asked to Astrid when they reunited in front of the fountain, "it's in the food court, i think it is called Alessandro's palace*" Astrid said "i know that place is where my brother and i used to go when we wanted to eat something that wasn't just a big loaf of bread with tomato, cheese and pepperoni on it" Jessica said with a total annoyed look on his fafe, "well, again what are we waiting for really I'm starving" cami complained " me too, i only got to eat a pretzel in the flight and really I'm hungry" the smaller brunet said "ok, ok, stop your whining, we are already going there. But before something happens, tuff, ruff don't fight also you'll be separated with a distance of three people" Astrid commanded "fine by me," ruffnut said "as long as i don't have to sit next to... Her"tuffnut agreed "Anna don't start with your dentist stuff, if someone wants to eat something let him/her eat it" "but, what igf they get something that can do severe damage to ther teeth, i wouldn't sleep well if i knew i had the power to stop them"Anna said "no buts, Noah go easy in the fish dishes, cami don't terrorize the customers that are nedt tk us and behave, Jessica please don't go and critique everything, remember you're not in American idol or iron chef and johnny please don't start flirting with every living thing inside the restaurant that you see because this is the only romantic place that is not so expensive and I don't want to be banned from it" "as if" Jessica said "aww, you never let me get the good dishes" Noah pouted "there's no Cami without mayhem" the hyperactive blonde protested "I think I already told you Blondie, I'm naturally flirting" the taller brunet said "fishlegs, Hiccup you're the only ones who doesn't comport like a fool, please keep an eye to some of them" "Astrid, relax really we're going to celebrate not to a funeral, everything will be fine really" Hiccup assured her "I know Hiccup but it's just this is the first time in YEARS that we get to hang out and I wanted this to be special" Astrid said, concern in her eyes as he looked to the small brunet that was beside her, "it will be special whether we go to a fancy restaurant or to a fast food restaurant, it doesn't matter for me because we will be together, all of us*" the brunet said "ok, ok enough with the cheesiness and all I'm really hungry guys, Astrid I don't care if I have to comport like a lady tonight but really I'm starving, I swear that I won't terrorize the clients around us but please, CAN WE GO NOW¡?" Cami whined in a immature way just like a kid would do if they stayed longer inside the supermarket while doing the groceries, so all had to laugh at that making Astrid's spitting image to blush a little "idiots" she muttered heading for the restaurant that was just a few meters away from where they were, shuffling the snow under her like if it a magnetic force was pulling her away from us "I'm going with her too cheesy anyways" tuffnut said running to catch up with Cami "o-k-ok guys, I think we have to follow her really, and I'm starting to freeze over here" Johnny said starting to tremble evidently because he only was wearing a white t-shirt aside from everyone else that was wearing a sweater or something warm "you should have thought that before going out with the shirt really who the heck you think you are? Frosty?*" Noah snickered, so all went to the restaurant before Johnny could die from hypothermia.
Everything was really good that night, the food good, the music good, the ambient good, and so far nor Cami, Johnny or Jessica have made troubles, of course Anna sat next to Astrid and she was swooning all over her, and tuff and ruff were at each end of the table, the male twin talking to cami about some kind of show and the female talking with Jessica about the project, Noah was engulfing some pasta with cod and shrimps, fishlegs had already finished eating so he was reading a book that he had in his backpack so all just went peachy, and to everyone else they were just a bunch of college students trying to pass a good time in their holidays while they could, "guys, I'm going or a walk be right back, here is m part of the count" Hiccup said as he leaved the restaurant not really caring where he was going but he just wanted to walk, but as soon as he realized, he was in front of the fountain with the statue shimmering with the lights that were underwater "you had to shoot at me with him didn't you?" he asked to the statue not expecting an answer but jumped a little when a voice said "she's beautiful isn't she?" when Hiccup turned to see the origin of the voice he saw a very beautiful women with long blonde hair almost white, shimmering eyes that he could not describe what color were wearing a winter dress"the statue was made in honor of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, but I think they didn't catch her beauty good enough though, and the bow and quiver, too much Cupid, but it doesn't matter does it? At the end the choices she makes are for a reason we cannot comprehend" the woman said "hm, I think she got wrong with me, though, so I hope that the next time, she doesn't come at me with another of her arrows" Hiccup spat venom in his voice his face a mask showing nothing "do you think so? And why do you think that way young man?" the woman asked with a sweet smile "let's say I have my reasons, but I really prefer that she saves an arrow with me, good night miss" the brunet said returning the way he had come "oh, but I fear I cannot do that Hayden, because I'm not done with you yet" the woman said to herself as a gust of snow blinded the fountain leaving no one to be seen.
