Due to the huge popularity of this story and the nagging of some of my viewers, I've decided to continue on with next chapter now. Besides, I'm kind of in that How to Train your Dragon kind of funk, so my mind is just wrapped around this fan fiction. And just to answer some of your unasked questions; of course there's going to be a cat fight! Astrid is too strong, proud, and independent to let someone else take her man without a fight!

Anyways, today's chapter is in her point of view. We get to see what she and the other Vikings think of the entire thing. So sit back, sip some hot cocoa and enjoy this fan fiction that you all seem to have nothing better to do than be obsessed with.

Disclaimer: Hey! Did you know they're planning a sequel? And a TV series? Man, that's going to be so awesome! … Wait, wasn't I supposed to be writing a disclaimer or something?

Chapter 5 Astrid

"You need to give it up, had about enough. It's not hard to see, the boy is mine. I'm sorry that you seem to be confused. He belongs to me. The boy is mine."

I stormed up the hill in a huff. How could Hiccup believe that lying little brat over me? Anyone could put on an innocent act and make everyone like them! Why would Hiccup not believe me? I wasn't paranoid! And I knew there was no way that little brat was just going to stand aside and let Hiccup be free to choose me over her. I knew she had a plan up her sleeve, and I was going to stop it. But I couldn't do it alone, that much was certain.

I found Ruffnutt sitting on a stump some way above the village, sitting by a fire and arguing with her brother. I didn't pay much attention to what they were arguing about because I couldn't care less. I sat down beside her and waited for them to stop long enough to notice me. Unfortunately, when the twins argued, they could go on for days, so I turned to Tuffnutt.

"Excuse me, Tuffnutt," I greeted him. "But can I talk to Ruffnutt in private?" He looked at me in some bewilderment, as if he just realized I was there and was horrified that someone dared step in the middle of an argument with his sister. But he just mumbled, "Yeah, sure," and shuffled away. I turned to Ruffnutt. "Sorry about interrupting," I apologized.

"Eh, we both knew I was winning anyways," she replied with a shrug. "So, what's wrong?"

"Who said something was wrong?" I asked her defensively.

"How long have we known each other?" Ruffnutt responded, cocking an eyebrow. "Some tribe just came and their leader's daughter just took your boyfriend and we've never even met these people! Of course there's something wrong!"

"Well you just summed it up pretty good right there," I told her with a deep sigh. "I guess it could be worse. I mean, she really could be perfect that makes Hiccup fall in love with her."

"Isn't she already?" Ruffnutt asked. I snarled.

"Of course not!" I growled. "She's just pretending to be nice and innocent so everyone will like her and not feel bad about this entire thing." As Ruffnutt opened her mouth to speak, I quickly defended myself. "I'm not being paranoid," I told her. "The little witch told me this herself."

"I get it," Ruffnutt replied. "So what are you planning on doing about it?"

"Well Hiccup didn't believe me when I told him what she told me," I explained. "So I need your help to sabotage her until she reveals her true self. Or make Hiccup realize that she's not perfect. Whichever comes first."

"And how are we going to do that?" Ruffnutt asked, her eyes wide with excitement. Whenever she was given a challenge, or an opportunity to embarrass someone, she never backed down. That's what made her such a valuable ally.

I looked around to make sure nobody was watching. Then I leaned forward, speaking in a low voice.

"Okay, we need a plan to get rid of this freak," I told her softly. Ruffnutt smiled sneakily.

"I think I know who can come up with a perfect plan," she said in an ominous voice.

…

"And so that's why you come to me, huh?" Snotlout asked, sitting cross legged on his bed and looking down at Ruffnutt and me as we sat in front of him.

"That's right," I replied, glaring slightly at Ruffnutt. If she had told me that we would be going to Snotlout for help, I would have thought of a plan myself. She didn't look me in the eye. "We need your help, Snotlout. There's no way I'm going to lose Hiccup to that spoiled little daddy's girl!"

"And you're an expert on angering people," Ruffnutt added. "We need to team up to make her snap until everyone sees what she's really like."

"But why do you want my help?" Snotlout asked, cocking an eyebrow.

"Because nobody would expect you to help," I replied. "Everybody knows you and Hiccup don't like each other. So no one will ever think that you might be up to something."

"All you have to do is flirt with her a lot and show people that she might not be right for our future chief," Ruffnutt explained. "And we'll do the angering. It's simple."

Snotlout thought for a long moment, nodding in agreement to our statements. I held my breath as he considered our idea. Finally, he smiled and looked at us, rubbing his chin.

"Ok, I'll do it," he told us. We smiled and high-fived, but he wasn't finished. "On one condition." Our faces fell and we exchanged glances. I let out a sigh.

"What do you want?" I asked, trying not to add venom in my voice.

"Ruffnutt has to go on a date with me when we succeed," Snotlout ordered. Ruffnutt glared at him and opened her mouth to decline, but I covered her mouth in desperation.

"Of course she'll do it," I told him for her. She turned to glare at me.

"No, I won't!" she snapped in a low voice.

"Come on, Ruffnutt, please?" I pleaded. "Do it for me!" She let out a long sigh, still glaring.

"You're lucky you're my friend," She growled at me under her breath. "Fine, I'll do it," she told Snotlout in a louder voice, trying not to sound too angry.

"Sweet," Snotlout replied happily, as if he was excited and surprised that Ruffnutt had agreed so easily. Snotlout had this thing where he would hit on any female around his age, especially after I had started dating Hiccup. He liked to think of himself as a "ladies' man."

"Thanks, Snotlout," I sighed as we stood to leave. "I definitely owe you one."

"Just don't forget about our date," Snotlout replied, addressing Ruffnutt.

"Yeah, whatever," she growled under her breath.

We left his house feeling much more confident. Hopefully this was going to work out. No, it was going to work out. I would make it work. There was no way I was going to let Isabella win. Because I was not a loser, I was a winner.

"So what's our next move?" Ruffnutt asked me as we headed towards my house.

"We need to find the perfect opportunity to put our plan into action," I told her thoughtfully. "If we just start tormenting her, people will know something is up and we'll look like the bad guys."

"Right," Ruffnutt agreed. "We have to make it look like we haven't been doing anything wrong and that she's the witch."

It really made me feel great that Ruffnutt put such faith in my words. I had no proof other than my own ears and eyes that Isabella was an evil girl, but Ruffnutt believed me. I just wish that Hiccup had as much confidence in me as she did. I reminded myself that I couldn't forgive him so easily once I proved that I was right. But there was still no way I was letting him go.

"Do you think we should let Fishlegs and Tuffnutt in on the plan?" Ruffnutt asked, cutting into my thoughts. I shook my head.

"Nah," I replied. "The less people who know, the better. One of them might slip and accidently tell Stoick or someone else important." Ruffnutt nodded in agreement.

"Do you mind if I stay out in your house for a while?" she asked suddenly. "Tuffnutt snores like an elephant and I feel like if I stay one more night in my own room I'm going to suffocate him with his own pillow."

I let out a laugh. "Sure, you can stay," I replied, opening the door to my room. "We can figure out what we're going to do with Isabella in the mean time."

"Good idea."

We stayed up half the night talking. We fantasized about how we could get Isabella near a cliff long enough for one of us to push her off. We talked a long time about what we could do to show her true nature. By morning, we were fast asleep, but fully prepared for what lay ahead.

I know Astrid's chapters aren't very long, but I have trouble thinking up stuff. Anyways, next we're switching back to Hiccup's view point because I do a lot better writing in his view point. Astrid is looking for a fight and she's got Ruffnutt to back her up! Will Isabella meet her challenge? Will she succeed in taking Hiccup away from her and succeed in splitting up one of the most awesome pairings ever?

Anyways, my brother's birthday is the day before Christmas Eve. We're going to surprise him with tickets to a hockey game and dinner at one of our favorite restaurants in Buffalo. It sucks that his birthday is so near Christmas, but hey, what are you going to do? I'm also going up to Buffalo tomorrow to see an exhibit with my father and a friend of mine. And then dinner at Shish Kabab! I'm so excited! See you next year! (Unless you read one of my other fan fictions, I'm not updating this one again until after Christmas.)
