Okay, so I hate prom. Just throwing it out there. But, this person I have band with got asked to prom today during her AP Lit class, and I got this idea. So, yeah this is modern. I own nothing, and I hope you enjoy.

Really, when the topic of prom came up, Astrid didn't worry much about. When you've been the same person for the four years of your high school career, isn't it kinda a give in that you're going to prom with said person.

So, no, Astrid wasn't worried.

But that was in January. Now it's April and prom was a month away. And Hiccup still hadn't asked her.

"I think you're being stupid." Said Regina, or Ruffnut as she liked to be called.

"I'm being stupid? You're the one shopping for dresses in front of me!"

"Hey, it isn't my fault that you're lame ass boyfriend hasn't asked you to prom. Maybe you should go stag, you've been dating the same guy for four years, time to get a new D."

Astrid rolled her eyes "You know how I feel about him."

"Yeah, you're showing emotion. I think you should get a new guy."

"Who, Eret?"

"NO!" Screaming Ruff "He's mine, and you know it."

"But you're going to prom with Freddie."

"I know. Doesn't mean I can't think about Eret. Freddie and I aren't dating. It's senior year and we want to go to prom."

"Then why hasn't Hiccup asked me yet!" Astrid ran her fingers through her hair, Hiccup's class ring catching light as she ran her left hand through. Hiccup had given it to her during tenth grade, two days after they gotten them, and on her birthday. She hasn't taken it off since. Really, it meant that they were, according to his father, 'engaged to be engaged'.

Whatever the hell that meant.

"He's going to ask you, calm your tits."

Astrid looked at a dress and smiled "I guess you're right. He will… won't he?"

"For the love of God, yes!"

The next day Astrid was in her AP Chem. class, taking notes when the door opened. She didn't look up, because she was in the most popular teacher's class, Mr. Haddock's class. Who also happened to be Hiccup's father.

So that was awkward… at all (that's a total lie. It was so awkward on the first day of school, Mr. Haddock walked in and said 'Astrid! I didn't know I would have my future daughter in law in this class!')

Then, she heard the giggles. She looked up and saw Hiccup dressed in a tux, and he combed his hair.

"Hiccup? What are you doing?" she asked

"Astrid Hofferson," Started Hiccup, walking over to her desk and pulling her onto her feet

"Why did you use my full name?" she asked

"Shut up for a second and you'll find out!" Snapped Hiccup and her eyes widened. Okay, this was serious.

"Astrid Hofferson, I would swim and sail on savage seas, with ne'er fear of drowning, I would gladly ride the waves of life, if you would go to prom with me."

Astrid smiled up at him. He used his parents' song, and he knew how much she loved that song. Astrid laughed and looked at Mr. Haddock, who was smiling and nodding at her.

"What do you think?" she challenged him, making Hiccup smiled and pulled her for a kiss.

Everyone cheered, and, of course, catcalled.

"High schoolers" thought Astrid, as she kissed him

They pulled away a second later, and Astrid frowned at him

"What the hell took you so long?"

"I-I really couldn't think of a way to ask you."

"A simple "Astrid will you go to prom with me" would've worked."

"You know me. I have my mom's dramatic flair."

As you can tell, I really like the song 'For the Dancing and the Dreaming.' \(^-^)/
