Hiccup walked up to her friends as she got inside the mall. She was wearing a green dress, leggings, boots, a brown leather coat with a green scarf, gloves, and a knitted hat. Hiccup took off her hat and gloves and shoved it into her purse. She can't wait to see what she might buy. She wants to buy something for NightFury and Toothless at the party on Christmas and hopefully, it wouldn't be too troubling to get them something from the heart. She wondered if she might run into NightFury, but she doesn't know what he looks like, but he does know Astrid, so there might be a chance to meet him before the party.

"How was talking to my friend?" Astrid smirked.

"It was nice," Hiccup giggled. "He's nice to talk to."

"What about Toothless?"

"He's really nice too. He seem like a fun person to hang out with."

Astrid nodded as her smirk grew wider. She giggled to herself as she turned around. Hiccup raised a brow and stared at Ruffnut. Even her friend was confused as well. Seriously first yesterday and now today! It looked like she's up to something, but what? Sometimes Hiccup wished what Astrid was thinking in that head of hers. Then Hiccup's phone started to vibrate. She took it out and stared at it.

Toothless: Turn around.

Hiccup: Why?

Toothless: You'll see :)

Hiccup did as the text told her and she yelped, jumping back. Toothless laughed, hugging his stomach. Astrid and Ruffnut started to laugh. Hiccup playfully punched him in the shoulder and crossed her arms, but she couldn't help it and smile. She has to admit, that was funny. This was not what she was expecting, but she couldn't blame Toothless. He just wanted to have a little fun.

"Very funny, Toothless!" Hiccup said.

"Come on, it was funny!" Toothless exclaimed.

"Now we have everyone, let's get started!" Astrid smiled. "So should we buy gifts first or buy party clothes?"

"I already have something to wear, thank you very much," Toothless pointed out. "I just need gifts to buy, but I don't mind helping with you girls trying out clothes."

"Now that's a gentleman," Ruffnut sighed. "Gifts first. They're the fastest."

Astrid sighed. "If you say so..."

Hiccup shook her head as the four of them walked around the mall. She just needed to buy ten gifts, for her mother, father, Gobber, Astrid, Toothless, NightFury, Snoutlout, Fishlegs, Ruffnut, and Tuffnut, but she already had a gift for the twins, Snoutlout, Fishlegs, and Gobber. She just need her parents, Astrid, Toothless, and NightFury. Hiccup only had forty dollars in her purse because she needed to use the money to buy her gifts. That's why she didn't buy the necklace because she didn't want to spend it on herself. She wanted to spend it on her friends.

"So I see you're in one piece," Toothless smirked.

"Haha, very funny, Toothless," Hiccup rolled her eyes.

"What do you need to buy?" Toothless asked.

"Lots of yarn, metal, and everything for building." Hiccup replied.

"What are you making?"

"It's a secret," Hiccup winked.

"Do you have time to build all of those things...well whatever it is you're making?"

"Yeah, never underestimate the all mighty Hiccup!"

Toothless chuckled. "As if I would."

Soon the four teens split into two groups. Ruffnut with Astrid and Toothless with Hiccup. In the corner of Hiccup's eyes, she could see Astrid giving her a thumbs up. Hiccup rolled her eyes. First she set her up with NightFury and now with Toothless. Could she make up her mind? Hiccup and Toothless went into the art store, where they have many colors of yarn. Hiccup took two black, one blue, one green, one blue, and one red. She turned to Toothless and saw he was looking at billions of sketch books. Many of them were expansive brands that Hiccup couldn't afford. Even though her family is rich, but she would rather buy the things herself than asking for it form her parents.

Hiccup smiled as she walked over to Toothless. He had two sketch books in his hands and staring at a high brand of pencils. He frowned and took one that cost over twenty dollars. Hiccup wasn't sure how he could afford it, but his father must've gave him lots of allowance to let him buy this much!

"Who are those for?" Hiccup asked.

"Oh those are for my friend," Toothless replied. "She's into art, so I thought buying her this will help her."

Hiccup smiled. "I bet she'll love it!"

"You think so?"

"Well yeah!"

Toothless smiled as he ruffled Hiccup's hair. "Thanks."

"Anytime, bud."

"Oh so now we're having nicknames," Toothless pressed his fingers against his cheeks.

"Just shut up and lets buy these things."

Toothless chuckled as the two paid the gifts. Hiccup hoped Toothless and NightFury liked the gifts she made. She's not sure if they will, but it's the thought it counts. As they got out of the store, Hiccup and Toothless walked over to the metal store. Hiccup had been there a bunch of times whenever she needed something to make and Gobber goes there too, unless he needed to. Hiccup stared at the metal. She wanted something that won't rust, but last long forever. Hiccup sighed. Finding the perfect material is hard.

"Hey, Hiccup, how about this one?" Toothless pointed.

Hiccup walked over to where Toothless was. He was pointing to an iron that Hiccup never used before, which was odd because Hiccup used every single metal she used. The description said it's long lasting and wouldn't rust, but it will smell like any kind of metal, which it shouldn't be a problem...but the price on the other hand...it's a hundred dollars

"This is perfect!" Hiccup exclaimed.

Toothless blinked. "Really?"

"Yeah, it's just what I need...it's too expansive."

"What do you need it for?" Toothless asked.

"I wanted to make my dad a viking helmet." Hiccup replied. "His old one got broken and I wanted to use this to make a new helmet. I know my parent do have the money and everything, but I wanted to use what I have you know?"

Toothless nodded. "Yeah, I see what you mean, but I can pay it for you if you want."

Hiccup shook her head. "No, you don't have to."

"But I want to."

"Are you still thinking about the soccer ball accident?"

"Sort of, but I'm willingly to help you."

"But you don't have to. I can wait until my father's birthday, I'll just make him a scarf this year."

"Hiccup, I'm willingly to spend my money to help you."

"I don't want you to waste your money on me."

"I'm your friend and this is what friends do."

"But I don't want to feel bad for you paying things for me!"

"Oh for the love of Thor, why not you two pay half of it?!" the cashier snapped. "Jeez, you two act like a married couple. I'll also give you both half payment for each person so you won't pay him back too much."

Both Hiccup and Toothless blushed of what the cashier said. Do they really act like that? Hiccup took the metal as the two paid what the cashier said. The cashier handed the metal to Hiccup and nodded. The two walked out of the store. Hiccup wanted to look at Toothless, but she was still embarrassed of what the cashier had said. Do people really see them as a couple whenever it's just the two of them?

The two stayed quiet as they went into a book store. Hiccup walked around as Toothless looked around for a book. Hiccup stopped and saw a book of dragons. She took it and flipped through the pages. She heard about Berk used to be a place for vikings and dragons. She also heard that a book like this have every dragon that the vikings encounter. Hiccup read through the pages where it said about the dragons. Each of them were killed in sight. Some dragons could cut through trees, to ones that sprayed hot water at their enemies. As Hiccup got to the last page, she blinked. On the end was a picture of a black dragon and it said, Night Fury. The dragon had nothing on it, but it caused fear among the vikings. Hiccup smiled. This reminded her of NightFury. Just like her friend, she doesn't know what he looks like, who his real name is, and everything about him. She wondered if he knew about dragons too. Maybe that's why he got his nickname from. From this very book and dragon!

Hiccup walked over to the counter and paid for the book. It didn't caused that much, which was a good thing. She glanced at Toothless, who already found a book. It was a big book, but he seemed happy that he found it. Hiccup waited at the exit, waiting for her friend to pay for the book. She wondered what that book was for. Probably his friends or his family. Once Toothless paid for the book, he and Hiccup went over to the food court. The two sat down across from each other, waiting for Astrid and Ruffnut.

Hiccup leaned on her chair, fiddling with her scarf. She wanted to say something, but she doesn't know what. After what happened in the metal store, she felt awkward to talk to Toothless. Hiccup had an urge to text NightFury and talk to him, but she didn't want to do that. Toothless was a nice guy and for Hiccup, she never met a guy who was willingly to pay things for her, even though she refused. Hiccup glanced at the time. It was already past twelve and Astrid and Ruffnut should be here by now. What was taking them so long? Hiccup's stomach growled. She really want something to eat.

"Do you want some food?" Toothless asked. "I can buy us a snack."

Hiccup nodded. "That'll be nice."

"Do you want a pretzel, crepes, fish sticks, or nachos?"

"What do you prefer?"

Toothless's eyes softened. "Fish sticks. How about drink? Soda, smoothie, or juice?"

"Soda."

Then Toothless stood up. "I'll be right back. Text me if Astrid and Ruffnut arrives."

Hiccup nodded. "I will."

The two smiled as Toothless went over to a line. Hiccup wanted Toothless to choose what they should eat because he already did something nice for her. Letting him choose the snack is a nice thing to do and to repay him for what he did. Then Hiccup's phone vibrated. She glanced down and blinked. At first she thought it was Astrid, but instead it was NightFury!

NightFury: Hey, how's your shopping! Bought me anything.

OneLeg_VikingHero: Yeah, but I have to make it!

NightFury: You're making me a present! That's so sweet of you! How was your day so far?

OneLeg_VikingHero: A little bit awkward, but overall it's going well. You?

NightFury: That's good, mine is going well. So...what's this present you're making for me.

OneLeg_VikingHero: Nice try, but I'm not telling.

NightFury: Aw, why?!

OneLeg_VikingHero: Because I said so, you big baby boo!

NightFury: Okay, but I did got you something and I think you'll like it. I can't wait to see you at Astrid's party.

OneLeg_VikingHero: I hope to meet you too. You seemed like a very nice guy.

NightFury: You don't know how nice I am!

OneLeg_VikingHero: We'll see about that.

NightFury: I'm already at the cashier, I'll talk to you later. Man I'm starving!

OneLeg_VikingHero: Alright, talk to you later! Have fun eating!

Hiccup went over to the messages to see if Astrid sent anything, but nothing. Just their previous conversation from yesterday. Hiccup knew Astrid and Ruffnut don't care about fashion that much, unless it's something important. Even though the party is important, but it's Astrid's house! Whatever party you're in, you don't need to worry about fashion.

Toothless walked up to her with a plate of fish sticks with cheese and two cups a soda. Hiccup smiled. Even though it's only one plate, but it looked like it's enough for the two of them. Toothless handed Hiccup her drink and the two started to eat. Hiccup had to admit, she always thought mall food would taste bad and the only thing she'll eat was sweets, which she didn't mind, but these fish sticks taste like they're home made.

Once the plate was gone, Toothless set the tray on top of the trashcan and the two drank their sodas. Hiccup glanced at her phone. It was almost two and Astrid and Ruffnut hadn't been back yet. Sighing, Hiccup sent her a message, asking her where she is. Right away she got a reply back.

Astrid: Ruffnut is still trying to find a present. I'm so sorry Hiccup. :(

Hiccup: It's alright, I have Toothless with me. He'll help me look for a dress anyway.

Astrid: Alright, but I'll make it up to you, I promise.

Hiccup: Don't worry about it, Astrid. as long as you and Ruffnut find what you need, I'll be happy.

"What did she say?" Toothless asked as Hiccup put her phone away.

"Ruffnut is still looking for a gift and couldn't make it." Hiccup replied.

"So I guess it's just the two of us then?"

Hiccup nodded. "Yeah..."

Toothless smiled. "Well, I guess it's time for you to find yourself a dress for the party, right?"

Hiccup frowned. "Are you sure you want to help me look for clothes? Don't guys get bored?"

Toothless laughed. "You have to be an extremely boring person to find something to wear. Besides, helping you find a dress is like helping someone prepare for a date. This is my specialty. I had done this so many times!"

The two smiled as they got up from their seats and went upstairs where all the dresses were being sold. Hiccup was surprised Toothless would do this for her. She expect him to leave and let her do this buy herself, but he didn't. Hiccup felt like she already knew him, even though they just met yesterday! It's like meeting a best friend that she was waiting to meet.

Hiccup stared at the dresses, flipping from dress to dress. She wasn't sure what to get. She wanted a green one, but there were lots of green ones. In the corner of her eyes, she could see Toothless looking all at the black dresses, lifting each one to see which one was perfect for her. Hiccup giggled. She never thought she'll see a guy do that before.

"Toothless," Hiccup called.

"Yeah?" Toothless questioned.

"My favorite color is green, just to let you know," Hiccup smiled.

Toothless nodded as he walked over to the green dresses, across where Hiccup was looking. Hiccup pulled out a dress that was a long sweetheart dress. She held it up for Toothless to see, but he shook his head. Shrugging, Hiccup put it back. She held out a green one with one shoulder and Toothless shook his head again. Hiccup sighed. What kind of dress would he want her to wear if he was her boyfriend? Hiccup blinked and shook that thought away. Even though it was a question any girl would ask, but it's also a weird question the same time!

"Hiccup, how would this one?" Toothless asked. "I think you'll look really cute in this!"

He held up a dress that sleeveless that has a dark green that goes to her knees and there's a sash with it. Hiccup had to admit. Toothless seemed to know how to find clothes better than any girl. How many times did he helped his friends with this? Toothless handed the dress to Hiccup and she stared at it. It really does look cute and the color is nice too.

"I'll try it in the dressing room," Hiccup said.

Toothless smiled. "Alright and let me know if it does suit you or not."

Hiccup nodded as she went into the dressing room. Before she went in, Toothless sat on a couch, watching the T.V. Hiccup closed the door and stripped off of her clothes. She put on the dress and stared at herself in the mirror. A smile grew across her face. Toothless was right. She does look nice in it. Hiccup glanced down at her prosthetic. It is extremely noticeable because it's made of a material that looks like her good leg with a shoe attached to hit. It looked like she has a robot leg. Hiccup pursed her lips. Even though Toothless doesn't know about her having one leg, but every time she does wear a dress, she either wore leggings or pantyhose to hide it. She doesn't want people freaking out over her.

Hiccup took out her phone and took a picture to herself, sending it to Toothless. Then a few seconds later, he replied back.

Toothless: You look really cute! I knew you'll look cute in it!

Hiccup: Yeah, thank you, I owe you a lot.

Toothless: You don't have to owe me anything, btw why not come out and let me see you wear it in person? You shy around me ;)

Hiccup: haha, yeah right. I'm just not used to wear dresses and other reasons.

Toothless: Makes sense. do you want to look at more dresses or do you want to buy this one?

Hiccup: I'll buy it. It's really cute.

Toothless: Cute like you!

Hiccup: Flirting already?

Toothless: It's not flirting it's called being honest!

Shaking her head, Hiccup changed back into her clothes and walked out of the dressing room. The two walked over to the cashier and paid for it. The cashier looked at them and winked. The two frowned and stared at each other and back at the cashier. What was that about.

"It's so nice to see your boyfriend helping you pick out a dress," she said. "He's a keeper."

Hiccup and Toothless stared at each other. Do they really look like a couple to all people? How does that even work? They only act like friends not a couple! This is like the second time today! Hiccup flushed as she looked away. She's not sure how to deal things like this.

"W-We're not a couple," Hiccup sputtered. "We're just friends."

The cashier chuckled. "Oh that's too bad. You two look lovely together."

Hiccup bowed her head, trying to hide her tomato face. She carried the bag, but Toothless held it for her, which caused the cashier to giggle some more. Hiccup wished someone would feed her eel so she won't remember this. This is just weird and embarrassing! Hiccup checked the time and saw it was already passed six.

The two walked out of the mall. Hiccup and Toothless walked the festive streets in silence. The kids were playing around, having snowball fights and many adults are going into stores, trying to buy the perfect gift for their love one. Hiccup stared at Toothless in the corner of her eyes. He was staring straight ahead, not saying a single word. He hasn't even spoken since what the cashier said. He must be really embarrassed of what she said. Hiccup doesn't blame him, she would be quiet about it too. Besides, she wondered if NightFury will like the dress she'll wore in the party.

Once they approach the hill, the two stopped. Toothless handed Hiccup her bag. Hiccup shifted her feet a bit. She wished Astrid and Ruffnut were here to make things not awkward around them.

"Are you doing anything tomorrow?" Toothless asked.

Hiccup shook her head. "I don't think so."

"Do you want to hang out?" Toothless questioned. "We can play some video games if you want."

Hiccup nodded. "Yeah, you can come over to my place. I have some games too. We can also make gingerbread cookies and houses. It'll be fun!"

"Would your parents mind cause..."

Hiccup giggled. "I'm sure they won't mind, you just need to get through my dad first."

"Oh great. What's your dad like?"

"Strict and he barely listens to anyone, even me."

"Wow that's tough."

"No kidding."

"Anyway, I'll see you tomorrow."

"Yeah you too."

The two waved at each other as Hiccup walked up to her house. She couldn't wait to see Toothless again. She wondered if he likes fantasy adventure games like Zelda or they could play tournament games like smash bros! Hiccup wasn't sure which one, but she wanted Toothless to decide on the game.

Once Hiccup got to her house, she closed the door behind her. Her parents weren't around. She shrugged and went into the bathroom, taking a quick shower. After she was done, she went into her room and laid on the bed. Even though she didn't get to hang out with Astrid and Ruffnut the whole day, but she didn't mind. Toothless was able to keep her company and helped her a lot. She's great to have a friend like Toothless. Then Hiccup checked her phone and smiled.

NightFury: Did you bought anything aside gifts?

OneLeg_VikingHero: I bought a dress

NightFury: Oooooohhhh sounds nice! Care to send a pic?

OneLeg_VikingHero: Nope, too easy.

NightFury: Aw, well it was worth a try. Are you gonna wear it at the party?

OneLeg_VikingHero: Yeah

NightFury: I think you'll look cute in it when I see you. What does it look like?

OneLeg_VikingHero: Green, sleeveless. My friend helped me pick it.

NightFury: Really, that's nice of her.

OneLeg_VikingHero: Him

NightFury: Well that's nice of him. Is he handsome? do you like him? ;)

OneLeg_VikingHero: I thought Astrid set me up with you, not him.

NightFury: So you do like me!

OneLeg_VikingHero: I never said that.

NightFury: but you wanted to get with me!

OneLeg_VikingHero: Oh thor, shut up!

NightFury: Aw, you're all blushing now, huh?

OneLeg_VikingHero: Leave me alone

NightFury: You must be so in love with me, huh? That's sweet!

OneLeg_VikingHero: If you keep this up, I'm not going to talk to you until the party!

NightFury: You wouldn't!

OneLeg_VikingHero: Try me

NightFury: As if you don't have the guts!

~~~~~10 minutes later...~~~~~~~~~~

NightFury: Are you there?

NightFury: I know you're there!

NightFury: Hello?

NightFury: Are you gonna answer?

NightFury: Are you enjoying this!

NightFury: Come on I was just teasing I didn't mean it!

NightFury: Plz answer! I'm begging you!

NightFury: Come on I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! Plz talk to me! :(

OneLeg_VikingHero: now that's better!

NightFury: Are you serious! You're so mean!

OneLeg_VikingHero: Thank you for summing that up! Now if you excuse me, I have to go to bed.

NightFury: It's only 11

OneLeg_VikingHero: I have to make the gifts and I have a friend coming over tomorrow that's why.

NightFury: That's understandable, good night!

OneLeg_VikingHero: Night

NightFury: If you have a dream about me, just let me know cause I'm gonna dream about you the whole night!

OneLeg_VikingHero: Good night and shut up!
