Okay, this is extra long as an apology for the long wait. Life kinda got in the way. This is what would have happened if Astrid caught on to them much sooner and if Hiccup stopped her before she ran off.

Hiccup glanced down at his paper. "Okay, Tooth will love to see this." He said to no one in particular. Or so he thought. "Who's 'Tooth'?" his head snapped up at the female's voice. It was Astrid. "As, Astrid! Hi, Astrid! Wh, what are you doing here?!" His fear was making him sound ridicules. "I want answers. How did you get so good? Are you training with someone? It better not involve this!" she grabbed his paper, but he took it back. She pulled his arm back, trying to get it. That was a big mistake.

"NO, BROTHER!" Toothless's cry surprized Astrid, who instinctively pushed Hiccup to the ground to protect him. "Oh boy" he muttered as Toothless charged out of the bushes. "GET AWAY FROM HIM!" He cried out, rearing on his hind legs. They both scampered up, and Astrid held out her ax. "I AM GOING TO RIP YOU TO SMITTERENS!" Toothless snarled. Even though Hiccup was the only one who understood him, the terrified look that briefly flashed across her face said Astrid got the message. "No! No, Tooth, calm down. She's a friend."

Toothless gave a snort of disbelief, and calmed down. "You just frightened him." Hiccup explained, placing a calming hand on his brother's shoulder. "I'll say!" he growled. His large heart still has not slowed down from that fright of seeing his brother getting his arm twisted back. "I frightened HIM?! Who is he?"

"Astrid, Toothless. Tooth, this is Astrid."

"So," he growled. "You are the girl Hic has told me so much about."

"You are so busted." She murmured, turning to go home. Hiccup, grabbed her arm "let me go!"

"No! You cannot tell anyone. Not even my dad.'' She snorted. ''Why, is he your pet or something?" Much to her surprize, Hiccup started to laugh and the dragon let out similar sounds that Hiccup knew for sure to be laughter. "Or something. Toothless here is my twin brother."

Oh, the secret is out! How will Astrid react?
