AN: Another short chapter... Sorry guys...

Response to Guests:

Dude #1: Nope, Astrid would still have vision in both of her eyes. The only difference is that one would be blue and the other would be grey.

Dude #2: Cliffhangers are good! And I only have limited time of the day to write a chapter. Hel, I'm writing this chapter at 11 pm.

Setting: Aftermath of the Green/Red Death battle

Days Until Wedding: 2 months (53 days)

"Are We Weird Or What"

"Ok" Hiccup took a deep breath "Here goes nothing" he looked directly at Astrid with a serious face "I'm planning on attacking the Meatheads using a combination of dragons and vikings." Hiccup mentally slapped himself. That was not supposed to be the one they were going to talk about! He was supposed to tell her about his arm! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!

Astrid could clearly see from her position Hiccup's random expressions. Just what went on in his head, nobody knew. But back to the topic at hand, she couldn't believe what she just heard. Since when was Hiccup the revenge type? She always thought he was a peaceful kind of viking.

"And how are you going to do that?" she asked. Idiot! Don't encourage him! She mentally scolded herself. You should stop him! "I mean, you just can't go there and cause havoc without any plans, right?" Good grief, Astrid! Since when were you this logical?! She blamed Hiccup for this side of her.

"Of course" Hiccup smiled uncomfortably. He needed to continue this or Astrid would pummel him for being a coward. "My plan involves in making the dragon raid the village and when the enemy is tired enough then we'll make our move to attack them." He quickly thought. He knew that it was just a theory for now but he needed to make an excuse.

"So you're saying that you are going to sacrifice some dragons just to make sure that none of our men would die during the skirmish?" she asked in a monotonous voice.

Hiccup mentally cringed. He loved the fact that Astrid was the smartest female viking her age but he couldn't help but thought that she was too smart for her own good.

"Well?"

Shit. She was expecting him for an explanation! What should he do?! Hiccup searched his brain for all the theories and hypotheses he could think of to help him.

"Well… What if the dragons were accompanied by their respective riders? Then it would be less likely for the dragons to die easily. I know it's not possible for zero casualties but with the riders there then the Meatheads would be too astonished to prepare for an attack like that."

Astrid thought about it. His plan might work but there was still the problem about his arm. Astrid widened her eyes. She saw Hiccup use that arm just now. Something was fishy here.

"So Hiccup" she said as she casually walked towards him. He seemed to be deep in thought. Perfect. "Since you really do have a plan then can I come with you?" she innocently said while discreetly holding the previously injured arm. I knew it! She mentally cheered since she was right about his arm not broken anymore.

Hiccup looked at her like she had grown a second head or something. "Absolutely not! You are staying in this village whether you like it or not!" he said resolutely.

"And why is that?" she let go of his hand and cocked her hip with her head raised. "Don't tell me that you still think of me as a casualty or something along the line or I-"

"Of course not!" he frantically shook his head "The last thing I'll ever think of you is casualty if my bruises had anything to say about it." He mumbled the last part to himself.

"Then why? I demand to know why you won't bring me along!" she stomped her foot like a child.

"It's because of your eye. I know that that's going to be a hindrance to you so I don't want to risk your life for my selfishness." He said as he cupped her face and kissed her on the forehead.

Astrid smiled lightly at him "You do realize that you can't stop me from coming with you even if you tried, right?"

Hiccup laughed "Of course I did. That's why you're riding with me."

Astrid backed away from him "No way! I'm reading Blindspot and that's final!" she stomped away.

Hiccup sighed. "So much for telling her about my arm" he slowly followed her back to the village.

AN: I know my chapters are shorter this time around but like I said, my schedule is tight! Literally… Enjoy!
