Setting: Aftermath of the Green/Red Death battle

Days Until Wedding: 2 months (55 days)

"This Can't Be Happening Right"

It wasn't until three days later did Acne go to Hiccup's house. For three days the two teens were contented with being with each other.

People were actually starting to think that those two were practicing being a husband and wife despite not knowing about their engagement.

Hiccup loved Astrid but he didn't have the heart to tell her that she was a terrible nurse. When Hiccup had an itch on his back he couldn't reach, Astrid volunteered and because she was being reckless with it she instead created a gash on his back.

She tried to bandage it but only made it worse by wrapping the cloth around his torso so tight that she cut off the blood flow completely. She was finally able to do it right after failing for the fifth time.

When someone knocked on the door, Hiccup couldn't be happier that someone had distracted Astrid from him.

It was Acne that arrived.

Hiccup sighed when Acne entered his room "Finally. Do you know how long Astrid forced me to stay here?"

Acne just shrugged and started checking his arm. She looked at Astrid "Now lass, tell me 'ow he broke tis arm of 'is."

"I think what happened was he crushed his arm when he was caught by the dragon because the moment it landed infront of us Hiccup's arm was under him."

"Woah, woah, woah!" Hiccup interrupted "I did this?" he gestured towards his broken arm

Astrid nodded.

Acne turned towards Hiccup after further inspecting his arm. She sighed and looked at him seriously "I've got good news an' bad news. Good news, tis arm will be recovered in a few weeks."

"And the bad news?" HIcucp asked worriedly

Acne looked away "You can't use tis' arm fo' fightin' anymo'"

"What?" Astrid whispered "What do you mean?"

"I can't explain. It has sometin' to do wit' te' nerves in 'is arm. He must hav' popped one wen' he was out cold." She tried to explain.

Hiccup suddenly thought of something "Acne… can I talk to you in private?" he looked towards Astrid and she nodded her head. She got up and went downstairs.

Hiccup looked towards the healer and said "I think we both know what I'm going to ask."

Acne feigned ignorance "I don' know wut yer talkin' bout child"

Hiccup glared at her "Don't play games with me. How did you cure Astrid's eye? I know that it's impossible to heal a human eye after it is pierced, so you must've done something." Hiccup eyes widened "Don't tell me… you used voodoo magic didn't you?"

Acne sighed "I didn' 'ave a choice."

"Why? If it was another viking you would've told them to get used to having one eye but why did you risk in using dark magic for Astrid? Not that I'm not grateful or anything, just curious"

"I wasn't supposed to tell ye tis' but…" she sighed "You an' te lass hav are part of a prophecy. It is my duty to keep ye kids alive."

"What prophecy?" he was intrigued now. He needed to know what she meant

She just shook her head "In time" she said cryptically "For nao though, don't tell the lass about wut I did"

"Fine… Can't you do anything for my arm?" he asked hopefully

Acne furrowed her brows "Tere's one way… but I need a replacement for ye arm"

"A replacement?" he raised a brow "What kind of replacement?"

"I'll need sometin' to replace te old one" she said matter-of-factly

Hiccup looked at her in horror "Don't tell me you're going to cut off my arm!" he scurried back

Acne just rolled her eyes "Don worry yer head ye idiot. Just find me an arm and I'll do the rest." She said as stood up and made her towards the door. "One more ting" she stopped at the door "Ye were lucky that ye just lost yer arm and not yer leg" she said knowingly

Hiccup gaped at her. How did she know about his dream? That must be a coincidence. He furrowed his eyebrows as Astrid reentered the room and sat next to him.

"So… what is your arm going to be ok?" she asked

"Huh? Oh right… she told me to bring her an arm" he said absentmindedly

"She what? Where in hel are you going to get one?"

"I'm not getting one" he said matter-of-factly "I'm making it."

"How is that even gonna work? Is it even possible to use a mechanical arm?"

Hiccup just shrugged and resisted the urge to tell her about the voodoo Acne knew about. He still had his suspicions in how she was going to do it but since she was the healer he was just going to trust her.

"Now that that's over, we can go to the stadium and show the dragon" she said happily and that got Hiccup's attention.

He sighed "Finally! Being cooped up in here for so long is not good for me." He stood up and started to walk out his room closely followed by Astrid

"Hey, at least I was with you all this time"

He smiled at her and hugged her sideways "I know, thanks"

She kissed his cheek "You're welcome"

Hiccup opened his front door and just infront of him was a hovering monstrous nightmare. When the dragon saw him, it roared and forced Hiccup to slam the door shut.

"Astrid… stay here…" he said

"But-"

"Shhh…" he slowly opened the door and was shocked at the scene infront of him.

"Ok guys! Follow me!" Snotlout was riding the nightmare and was leading other dragons with viking on their back.

"What the?" Hiccup was flabbergasted. He looked at the houses and noticed dragons nested on the roofs and there were also dragons helping in herding some sheeps "Note to self, never be stuck inside the house for days again because you'll get crazy…"

"Technically you're already crazy… So what do you think?" Astrid asked as she squeezed his hand to get his attention.

Hiccup gawked at Astrid "Why didn't you tell me about this?!"

Astrid shrugged her shoulders "It never crossed my mind"

Hiccup looked at her incredulously "Oh sure because these kinds of things tend to slip the mind. Is it always going to be like this where you keep information from me until it's too late beca-"

Astrid cut him off by kissing him.

Hiccup looked at her smugly "That's not going to work Astrid. I'm already immune to that"

Astrid smiled sweetly at him and whispered to his ear "How about if I convince you in the bedroom."

Hiccup blushed and stuttered "I-uhm… well… I can get used to-to that"

Astrid just smiled at him and punched his arm "You are such a dork… Come on, let's go"

AN: I gotta ask… Is everyone ok with the length of the chapters?
