Days Until Wedding: 1 and a half month (48 days)

"What Brings You Here On This Fine Day"

Just as Astrid and Hiccup escaped through the backdoor, Stoick opened the front one and smile jovially at his brother. Spitelout returned the gesture by frowning at him and barging through the door.

Stoick snorted "Well, good day to you too." He closed the door and followed his brother on the kitchen where he previously talked with his son and his fiancé.

Spitelout turned around and glared at him "I'll cut to the chase. Is it true that Hiccup and Astrid are to be married?" he demanded.

Stoick tsked "Now, it's not that I don't want to answer you but you should never listen to rumors and demand answers from someone who hasn't even heard it yet." Stoick was secretly laughing inside. The look on Spitelout's face was priceless! He knew that keeping the wedding a secret was a fantastic idea!

"Don't play games with me!" Spitelout slammed his hands on the table.

Enough was enough. Stoick's face became stony and he glared at Spitelout. "You better learn your place Spitelout or I'll make you. You just don't barge in here and demand things from me. Have you forgotten why I became the chief or do you want a replay of it?"

Spitelout winced. Of course he hadn't forgotten. He still had the scar on his back to prove it. He deflated and sighed but kept his glare on Stoick "Fine but I still want answers." Stoick's glare hardened. "Please?" Spitelout groaned.

Stoick's face turned jovial again and laughed "Now that's the spirit! To answer your question, yes, Hiccup and Astrid are to be wed next month."

Spitelout sighed. "How long has this been kept a secret?" he asked gravely. If this deal was only made a few weeks ago then maybe he could still convince Grudge to change his mind.

Stoick rubbed his beard. "Hmm… Let's see… Me and Grudge made this deal before our first hunting trip together so…"

Spitelout's eye was twitching. Stoick was stalling. He didn't know why but he was clearly doing this on purpose!

Stoick eyes brightened "Now I remember!" Spitelout released the breath he was holding "It was five years ago!"

Spitelout's mouth hung open. "Fi-five years?! You kept it a secret for that long?!"

"Actually we told Hiccup and Astrid just a few weeks ago" Stoick said, clearly missing Spitelout's point.

"What?" Spitelout was once again speechless. "Those kids already knew and they weren't against it?" Spitelout snapped. He knew that Stoick was not going to like what he was doing but he was still surprised by what he said. He knew his brother. He knew that Stoick always rambled and nagged when he was drunk but, surprisingly, he kept this a secret for five years.

Stoick shrugged "Yep. In fact both of them only seemed surprised by the news. Haven't you noticed how close those two are? People are even asking me if I plan on having them getting married." Stoick laughed "Just imagine how much I resisted just not blurting it out to them."

Spitelout slouched and sat on a chair. All his plans, ruined. He was too confident in his son in pursuing the Hofferson girl. He failed. He knew when he was beaten.

He was going to tell Stoick that he was leaving when there was a knock on the door.

"I'll get it" Stoick said as he made his way towards the door.

Spitelout sat there and contemplated his life. More importantly, his son's. He made Snotlout what he was now. An arrogant, conceited viking. He even made sure that Snotlout was ruthless towards his cousin so that he would have a higher chance of becoming chief one day. He wondered if his son followed his orders because he either loved him or feared him.

"Ahh Grudge! Great timing!" Stoick said from the other room.

Spitelout's head shot up. Grudge? Here? Now?

"Spitelout?" Grudge asked as he entered the kitchen "I was just meaning to talk to you"

Spitelout groaned again. This was certainly not his day.

-Later that day-

"So Astrid…" Ruffnut stalled as she and Astrid was currently situated in her room to have some privacy "When were you planning on telling me of your marriage?" she mocked asked.

Astrid rolled her eyes. "When the time was right but unfortunately that wouldn't come anymore."

Ruffnut's face became red and Astrid could clearly see she was holding her breath

"Uhmm Ruff? What's happening?" but the only response she got was a high pitch squeal. Astrid could've sworn her ears were bleeding.

"I can't believe it! First, you admitted to me you like him. Then, you admitted that he was your boyfriend. And finally, you two are going to get married!" she hugged Astrid and suddenly realized what she was doing. She let go and coughed on her hand and hardened her face "This-this isn't going to leave my room, understood?" she threatened but her face was flushed.

Astrid just laughed and punched the other blonde on the arm "Don't worry. I won't tell the tribe that Ruffnut Thorston acts like a girl sometimes."

Ruffnut gritted her teeth "I'm serious!" she shouted and tackled Astrid.

Astrid yelped and the two girls wrestled while laughing.

Meanwhile, the guys were downstairs in the main room. The guys consisted of Hiccup, Tuffnut and Fishlegs.

Hiccup coughed on his arm "So, any questions?"

Tuffnut waved his arm "Nope"

Hiccup seemed surprised "Really? I mean, you guys ok with this?"

Fishlegs nodded "Of course. It was clearly obvious that both you and Astrid were having a relationship and according to my calculations, Ruffnut already knew before any of us did"

Tuffnut looked at Fishlegs strangely "Again with my sister? What's with you guys? Don't tell me you like her?" Tuffnut asked jokingly.

Fishlegs blushed and stuttered "We-well… It's just that… You know…"

Tuffnut eyes widened "No way dude! You like her?!" he then backed away from him "Then does that mean you like me too?! Eeewwww!" Tuffnut said like Fishlegs had rabies or something.

Hiccup raised an eyebrow "What's that got to do with you?" he asked incredulously

Tuffnut scoffed "Everything. Don't you get it? Me and Ruff are like connected to the hip so, if Legs here likes her then he definitely likes me too!" he said like it as the most obvious thing in the world.

Hiccup opened his mouth to reason out but decided against it. Tuffnut was not worthy enough to sacrifice some brain cells for.

Too bad Fishlegs thought it was worth it "What are you talking about? That's theoretically impossible. Just because you are twins doesn't mean that my feelings for Ruffnut is the same for you"

Hiccup smirked "You just practically told us what you feel for her"

Fishleg's blush grew deeper "I don't like Ruffnut that way!" he defended

Hiccup's smirk also grew "I never mentioned that you like her nor did I mention it was Ruffnut"

Tuffnut pumped his fist up on the air "I knew it!" he suddenly stood next to Fishlegs and wrapped an arm around his massive shoulders "Don't worry buddy, I know that the two of us won't work out so I'm going to help you with my sister! How's that sound?"

Fishlegs wanted to protest but he saw Hiccup shook his head so FIshlegs sighed and nodded his head "Fine, whatever"

Tuffnut cheered "That's my man! Now, first things first, my sister loves to fight roughly"

Hiccup sighed too. This was going to be a long day.
