Disclaimer: I don't own httyd… Like always…

AN: Hey everyone! It seems we have a little bit of a situation here… Some people want me to hurry up and go ahead with the wedding… I think that's a bad practice in writing a quality story… You can't just force something to happen and just say "Meh… It's not like anyone can force me what to do…" that's just not right… I know that some of you are starting to get bored with the story but I can't please everyone… Most people actually love my pace in the story so if you don't like it then there's nothing I could do about it.

Another issue we have is that some also wants me to write longer chapters… I could do that. Heck, I could probably make each chapter with 5k words… The main problem I have actually is that I can only write this fic between 11pm to 1am… Yeah, harsh right? I have work in the morning about 9am and I usually arrive home at 9 to 10pm… If you want me to write longer chapters then I'm forced to post them at maybe once every two days… So yeah…

Anywhoo, you guys tell me what I should do and let's go from there ok? OK!

Setting: During Dragon Training


"What Crawled on You and Died"

"Hmpf serves you right" Astrid said as she crossed her arms over her chest and had her back on the currently barely conscious, badly beaten, twitching Hiccup on the ground.

The dragon was now amused by what was happening infront of him. Not only were these humans fighting but they were also not attacking him. It's like he didn't even exist between the two of them which made the dragon more curious.

Astrid kicked Hiccup's side and he groaned in pain "Well at least I know you're still alive. I'm not gonna be responsible when you die of blood loss"

"Wow… I feel so loved" he moaned which earned him another kick.

"You stay put while I get some herbs to heal your pathetic little as-"

Hiccup cut him off "Yeah, yeah and then you could hurt me even more… I can hardly contain my excitement" he mumbled with his daily dose of sarcasm.

Astrid left without a word and Hiccup stood up from his down position, rubbing his nose.

"Geez, and here I thought that I could withstand her attacks" he cracked his neck "I mean, what's her deal? It's not like I did those things or purpose!" he was now pacing inside the cove, unaware of the dragon sitting infront of him, looking at him amusingly. "It's so unfair! She can make fun of me but I can't make fun of her? Is there some kind of hidden rule where Astrid Hofferson cannot be made fun of that everyone knew but me?" he unconsciously circled the dragon and little by little he was getting closer and closer to it. "Not to mention she always resort to violence. One of these days I'm so gon-" but he was cut off by a warm breeze on his hair.

Hiccup looked up and finally realized that he was standing just under the dragon. He gave it a nervous grin. That's when something amazing happened; the dragon seemed to be mimicking his smile.

"Toothless?" he noticed "I could've sworn you had-oof!" the dragon pushed him down and pinned him with his paw while he finally showed Hiccup his rows of razor sharp "teeth" Hiccup finished while paling. Oh boy… Nice going Hiccup! Everyone should hear about this… Hiccup, son of Stoick the Vast, bested by a downed dragon by being crushed to death by its butt!

The dragon opened its mouth and revealed even more rows teeth and started getting closer to Hiccup's face…

Hiccup paled even more "No, no, no nooooooooooooooo!"


Astrid felt bad for Hiccup. She knew that he never wanted any of those happening to her. It was just she was embarrassed since he was clearly having fun. That's why she was getting these herbs for him and was going to make it up to him by giving him the biggest, wettest, and most importantly most passionate kiss he could ever-

"Ewwwwwwwww" a familiar voice screamed "It's all over my face! Ugh and it's sticky!" the voice suddenly started to cough "Odin's beard! It went in my mouth! Blegh! Why did you do that! Get off me!"

Astrid couldn't believe it! It sounded like Hiccup was getting some and it wasn't with her! How dare he! And after I felt bad for him! Whoever that girl is he's kissing with is so gonna get killed! Hiccup would have a worse fate! She grinned evilly and cracked her knuckles.

She entered the cove, ready to pounce on the unsuspecting girl when the sight in front of her stunned her. Hiccup, who was pinned by the night fury, was doing his best in removing the drool that was dripping from the dragon's tongue.

He couldn't believe what the blasted reptile just did. It licked his face and now he smelled like dead fish! He wished he didn't open his mouth to force the dragon to get off because the saliva actually went inside his mouth and it tasted a hundred times worse than its smell. He then heard laughter behind him and he craned his neck to see who it was.

Astrid was currently bent forward, her hands on her stomach trying to control the laughing fit she was having. Hiccup deserved this! She knew that Hiccup would want her help but she wasn't going to give it to him. Astrid gave Hiccup a look saying 'That's what you get, you dork!' and she left while laughing.

Even outside she could hear Hiccup cursing at the gods.


The next day at the stadium

Everyone was gathered inside the stadium, waiting for Hiccup to arrive.

"Hey, is Hiccup ok?" Fishlegs asked, genuinely concerned for the fellow braniac

"Don't worry about him. I'm sure he's just there doing Hiccup stuff" she waved his worry off. No matter how much she wanted to leave Hiccup there, she just didn't have the heart to do it. It was a miracle itself that she was able to get the dragon off. And for some strange reason, Hiccup decided to call the dragon Toothless. She demanded to know why that was the name he chose but he just blatantly ignored her.

Speaking of the dork. Hiccup strode inside the stadium looking like he hadn't had a night's sleep at all.

As he got closer, she could smell the distinct scent of dead fish. Everyone around him covered their nose because the stench was unbearable

"Ugh! You smell worse than Tuff!" Ruffnut exclaimed as she pinched her nose. Hiccup just responded with a shrug

"For once I agree with her" Tuffnut said as he went near Hiccup and smelled him once again. He was clearly used to these kinds of smell "What crawled on you and died?"

Hiccup snorted "A reptile. A big, stupid, heavy reptile"

"Well, as much as I like 'earing Hiccup's excuses. Meet the Terrible Terror!"

"Ha! It's like the size of my-" the small dragon latched on Tuffnut's face "Ah! Get it off! I'm hurt! I'm very much hurt!" he started running and flailing his arms around as the other teens tensed and started running after the Tuffnut

Everyone except for Hiccup and Astrid of course. They thought that the others needed training too so they sat this one out.

Astrid looked towards Hiccup as she sharpened her axe "You still didn't tell me why you called him Toothless"

Hiccup looked at her warily "You know what? I change my mind. From now on I'm calling him Worthless." He said with finality

Astrid just shrugged her shoulders "Suit yourself" she then grabbed his hand and dragged him towards the others "Don't be such a downer. I said I was sorry"

Hiccup sighed "I know. It's just that everything we knew about these dragons is wrong."

Astrid nodded "I know how you feel. Just a few days ago we would've have thought that killing dragons is the right thing to do but now… There must be a more peaceful around this"

Hiccup smiled towards her "What's this? Is Astrid Hofferson going soft?" her answer was a fist to his shoulder and him yelp "I guess that's a no then?"

"Good answer"

"Uhm guys? A little help here?!" Tuffnut frantically screamed and flailed his arms as the dragon bit at his nose.

"Looks like we're needed, again"


AN: well? Was it rushed? Was it bad? Sigh… pressure is building up to me as expectations get higher… Enjoy and review!
