AN: Jornamber: Ahh I see… Well, if you don't know him, he's Sokka from The Last Airbender and the reason why I use him as my profile pic is because he's my favorite character. He's also half of my favorite paring in avatar. Their shipping name? Azukka, hence my fanfiction name :D

Additional AN: Starting next chapter, I will try and post 2-3k chapters so that people will not find my fanfic lacking… that also means that I can only post once every two days.

Arc: The Retrieval

Days Until Wedding: 25 days

"Do The Gods Hate Me"

"Please let go…"

"No"

"Can you tell me why?"

"Because I want to"

"I don't really think this is a good idea" Hiccup sighed.

"That makes one of us then" Cami said as she hugged Hiccup's arm tighter.

They were currently on the deck of Thuggory's ship while their dragons were resting on the edge. Thuggory had a huge ship since their tribe was rich enough to buy the resources to build it. It was even sturdy enough to last a massive storm.

"Fine, let's go…" Hiccup tried to walk but Cami just stayed put. "Uhmm… We should, you know, go now while it still day time"

Cami tsked "Ahh… about that… if you want to get in Trader's Isle, you have to travel by boat or the vikings guiding the port area will shoot you down."

Hiccup looked at her incredulously "Then how did you get out?"

"I stowed away in a ship" she said matter-of-factly

"Well then…" Thuggory clapped his hands since he was listening to the conversation "Not to sound rude but, Hiccup, I'm afraid you have to leave"

Hiccup raised a brow "Why is that?"

"Because I don't want you on my ship."

"Well if he's leaving then so do I" Cami said

"But… I need your help in finding the dagger!" Thuggory shouted

"Then Hiccup stays!" she finally let go of Hiccup and approached Thuggory to poke him on the chest.

Hiccup raised his hand "Don't I have a say in this?"

Both Thuggory and Cami looked at Hiccup "No! You stay out of this!" they both shouted at the same time.

"Hey! You don't have any right at shouting at him like that!" Cami said as she crossed her arms. It was funny how Thuggory was two heads taller than the petite girl.

"This is my ship and I can do anything I want in it!"

"Well then, why don't take that mast of yours and shove it up your As-" but Cami was interrupted by a squawk and flapping of wings.

All the vikings on the deck looked up and saw a deadly nadder flying towards them. Some men readied their weapons incase if the nadder was an enemy or not. The nadder had something riding on its back, a miniature wingless version of it. It even looked like the rider had a weapon strapped on his back.

When the nadder landed, they noticed that one of its eyes was missing. It wasn't a miniature nadder but a person with a very peculiar armor riding it. Hiccup immediately put two and two together. He visibly paled since Cami decided at that moment to hug his arm again.

Even with the helmet on, everyone could tell that the person was staring directly at the hugging pair. Hiccup desperately tried to remove Camicazi's arms around him but she had an iron grip and he was not in a good enough position to use his full strength. The rider approached them and Hiccup tried to squirm his way out of Cami's grasps.

Thuggory, on the other hand, was busy admiring the craftsmanship of the armor. From the way it looks to the way it fits the body, it looked like it was the work of a master smith. He also noticed how the colors of the armor meshed together with the deadly nadder.

Hiccup gave the rider a very nervous smile "Uh… hi…" the moment he said that, the rider removed the weapon from her back which was a giant battle axe. "This is not what it looks like!" he frantically waved his arm infront of him "You gotta believe me! She's the one forcing herself on me!"

Camicazi shrugged "I'm not even gonna deny it"

"See!" Hiccup begged "Please don't hurt me!"

The rider sighed and put leaned on the axe "Seriously Hiccup, I leave your side for a few hours and your already in the arms of another woman?" the rider asked as she removed her helmet

"Astrid?" Thuggory blinked. He didn't expect it to be her to be in the armor. He expected someone more experienced.

Hiccup sighed "I got the feeling you weren't gonna listen to me, again"

Astrid stood infront of Hiccup and looked at Cami "Do you mind?"

Cami just smiled at her "Not at all"

"Listen, I know you think he's handsome"

"Hey!" Hiccup looked offended

"He belongs to me" Astrid said proudly

Camicazi scoffed as she released Hiccup and crossed her arms "Excuse me? He belongs to me"

"Technically, I'm his fiancé" she said smugly

"Woah, woah, woah!" Thuggory stood between the two girls and looked at Astrid "You're telling me that you two are engaged?"

"Well duh… Which part of I'm his fiancé don't you understand?"

"But… I thought he was inlove with Heather!" he pointed at Hiccup

Astrid blinked at him and then looked at Hiccup then back to Thuggory again. Without warning she started giggling. She tried to cover her mouth but to no avail. She started laughing out loud and tears were coming out of her eyes.

Hiccup smacked his face. This was not happening. Why did the Gods hate him? What did he do to deserve this? Astrid's laughter vibrated in his head.

"You… you really… think that?" she said in between breaths. "Heather is Hiccup's sister! Hahaha!" she couldn't take it that she started rolling on the ground in laughter.

"Sister?" Thuggory looked at Hiccup, waiting for an explanation

"I tried to tell you!" Hiccup snapped "It tried but you kept on interrupting me!" he then started imitating Thuggory "Oh look at me, I'm Thuggory and I'm too good to listen to someone about love" he then pointed at a still laughing Astrid "See what you did? Because of you, she's not gonna make me forget this!"

"Ohh… whew… that was too good…" Astrid said as she stood up. "Phew… I don't think I laughed like that in a long time"

Hiccup approached Astrid and gave her a deadpan look "This doesn't leave the boat, got it?"

Astrid just stared at him for a few seconds before she started laughing again.

Hiccup sighed and visibly deflated "Why do I even bother…"

"Uhmm… hello?" Cami asked as she stared jealously at the couple infront of her

Astrid finally became serious again "Right… Like I said, I'm engaged to this moron over here"

"That you love" Hiccup added

Astrid nodded "Yep… Even though he is a huge moron, I still love him"

Cami gaped at them "What am I, chopped liver?"

Thuggory patted her on the head "There, there. I'm sure there is someone out there for you"

She looked up at him appreciatively "You really think so?"

Thuggory shrugged "Why not?"

-Berk-

"What are you going to do?!" Fishlegs asked as he paced inside the stadium while the other teens were staring at him "Hiccup personally told me to not let her go! I just looked away for a moment and bam she's gone!"

Ruffnut sighed and stood up next to the burly teen "Would just let it go? She escaped and there's nothing you can do about it. I'm betting that she's already caught up to Hiccup by now"

Heather stood up and looked worried "Guys, this is serious. I never realized this but what if something bad happens to them?"

Snotlout stood up and snorted "So? Who needs Useless anyway? I'm still here"

"Yeah… I'd rather die…" Ruffnut droned

Snotlout huffed and sat back down.

"Look, I think it's best if we told the chief about this" Fishlegs suggested

"Then go tell him. It's your idea" Tuffnut said as he cracked his hands "I don't want to be in the way when he blows off"

Fishlegs gulped.

"Hey!" Ruffnut threw her helmet at her brother "Don't scare him like that! You know how sensitive he is!"

"Ow!" Tuffnut rubbed the spot where Ruffnut's helmet hit him "Why you!" and he jumped on her

Heather looked at the others. Ruffnut and Tuffnut were fighting, Fishlegs was having a panic attack and Snotlout was acting like a wuss. Heather sighed… She guessed that she had to do it herself.

-Later-

"Wut?!" Grudge snapped as Heather told him about Astrid "Wut in Hel possessed tha' girl and do sometin' reckless like tha'!"

"Now Grudge…" Stoick tried to reason. He knew something like this would happen. Danger always followed his son after all.

"Don't ye even start Stoick" Grudge sighed "I just hope they stay safe"

Stoick nodded as he thought what Hiccup might be doing at this moment.

-Thuggory's Ship-

Hiccup had a deadpan look as he swayed left and right "I hate my life…"

"Let! Him! Go!" Cami said as she pulled Hiccup's left arm.

"No, you let him go!" Astrid was pulling the other.

The two girls were currently having a tug-of-war and Hiccup was the one being pulled.

He vowed never to understand them and he was glad he did. Girls were a pain.

AN: Well? Enjoy and Review!
