Hey you guys! Here's the new chapter just as I promised. I'll probably be extending this a lot further than I had imagined since you guys want more and I have yet to finish the story! Hope you like this chapter and as always, please leave a review c:

After sitting at his desk drawing about 2 more pictures, one of Astrid and one of him and Astrid, Hiccup decided to take a break and spend some time in the forest. He decided to go picking for flowers to set on Stoick's statue that was built for in honor of him. As Hiccup neared the forest, Astrid caught sight of him. At first she was going to call him but stopped herself. Maybe he was getting something for the proposal. Astrid thought as she followed him into the forest. Ever since she eavesdropped on the conversation she's been thinking everything Hiccup's been doing was for the proposal because knowing Hiccup, he liked to go out of his way, especially for her. As he followed him, she hid behind a tree and noticed he was picking gorgeous flowers of all sorts; lilies, roses, daisies, primroses, etc.

After grabbing a bundle of them, Hiccup decided it was enough. He bundled them together neatly with a thin piece of string and walked out of the forest just as Astrid darted out of his sight. Astrid watched as Hiccup walked away from her carrying the beautiful flowers in his hand. She smiled at him.

~~~[Ruffnut/Snotlout]~~~

As they sat on the beach in silence enjoying each others' company, Ruffnut decided to break it. "So, what was all that and this about?" She asked, still not 100% convinced she felt anything.

"What do you mean? We're a couple so we have to do the couple stuff, right?" Snotlout said, although it was clear he wasn't so sure of himself after all.

"Well yeah, but before .."

"That was before. That was before I talked to Hiccup who gave me stupid advice so I changed it up and made it great advice."

"Oh, nice .. " Was all Ruffnut could say. She wasn't quite sure where this was leading but she was sure she was actually enjoying the idea of them being together. Maybe this was what Astrid meant, she thought to herself. "So what happened with your dad?"

Earlier today, Snotlout got into a fight with his dad about Hiccup again. "The same old comparison to Hiccup." Snotlout said as he looked at the ground. "Why can't you be more like Hiccup? Even though he's a scrawny kid, he's still got more brains than you. He stills know how to train dragons better than you." Snotlout said as he mocked his father's voice.

"Oh, that sucks. If it helps, my parents are still bagging on me about the same thing but with Astrid."

"I thought your parents finally let that get go." Snotlout said as he looked at her quizzically.

"So did I." She said as she looked at the sand bringing her knees to her chest.

"It's going to be alright you know? As long as you got me and I got you .. " Snotlout trailed off as he looked out at the sea. He could feel her staring at him with a smile on her face but he didn't look. He was still scared, but he felt so happy. He didn't know why, but he just felt happy in this moment like it was something you'd see in a snow globe.

"Thanks." Ruffnut finally said and kissed Snotlout on his cheek and turned away to look at the docks on the opposite side, trying to hide her blush. Snotlout was also looking away towards the mountains to hide himself blushing.

~~~[Hiccup/Astrid]~~~

Astrid walked up to Hiccup as she saw him near the statue of his father but she stopped for a moment to watch him and give him some space. Hiccup sat at his dad's statue and looked up at him, with Toothless right next to Hiccup. "How do you become someone that great, that brave, that selfless?" Hiccup asked as he scratched Toothless behind his ear and look at him as if he were asking him the question. Toothless gurgled and put his head on Hiccup's lap. ".. I guess you just have to try .. " he said answering his own question as he closed his eyes picturing his dad. Toothless licked Hiccup's face to try to cheer his owner up. "Euugghh, Toothless!" He groaned as he tried to rub it off.

"Hey .." Astrid said as she walked up to where Hiccup was sitting and sat down next to him. She put her hand in his and she looked at the statue and noticed at the base of it, there were the flowers she had seen Hiccup picking in the forest. How could I be so blinded and selfish? Why am I thinking everything Hiccup is doing is for me? Astrid felt instantly ashamed.

"You okay?" Hiccup asked, with a concerned look on his face as he eyed Astrid.

"Yeah, I'm fine." She replied back with a smile. "Hiccup, you don't have to be like your father. He was a great man, a great chief. He was great, brave, and selfless." She said looking at him. "But you are too." She kissed Hiccup on his cheek then started spitting. "Hiccup! You could've told me Toothless licked your entire face!" She said a little disgusted as she tried to wipe it off from her lips to get the taste and feel off of it. "You know I hate it when this happens."

"Oh trust me, I know." Hiccup said with a laugh as he recalled all those times Astrid hit him for letting her kiss him with dragon saliva all over him.

"Haha, very funny." And she playfully smacked him. "But I'm being serious Hiccup."

"About the whole hating me for letting you kiss me with dragon saliva?" Hiccup asked a little concerned.

"No you bonehead! About you being like your dad." She then began braiding the back of his hair.

"You know I hate it when you do that .. " He said irritated.

"And you know I hate getting dragon spit all over my mouth." She shot back.

" .. fine." He said defeated as he looked back up at Stoick's statue. They sat together in silence and as they sat Hiccup finally pieced together exactly what he'd do for the proposal. Needing an excuse to leave Hiccup looked around and noticed the sun. It was setting. "Hey, Astrid."

"Yeah?"

"I gotta go. I'm going to talk to my mom, see how she's doing now that family left."

"Oh, uh okay." Astrid was surprised at this request. Usually they'd go together or he'd offer to walk her home, but he didn't do either of this. Toothless and Hiccup left and she sat there, still feeling and tasting the saliva of Toothless on her lips.

~~~[Hiccup/Valka]~~~

Hiccup ran inside and opened the door with excitement. "MOM! I HAVE IT!" Hiccup yelled with enthusiasm.

"Calm down son!" Valka said joyfully. Her spirits have been picked up ever since Stoick's family left and they stopped judging her from afar. "What's the matter?"

"Mom! I got it! I know how to propose to Astrid!" Hiccup said gleefully. "It's PERFECT!"

"Oh my! Now what in Odin's are you going to do?" Valka asked her son with wide eyes. She wanted to know what perfect plan her son had conjured up for his beloved girlfriend. She was exited and happy. More excited and happy than she'd ever been in awhile.

"Okay, okay, okay. Well first, I'm going to finish the drawings. After I finish them, I'm going to lay them out in the words, 'marry me?' on the cliff where we would sometimes go together. Then I'm going to have Toothless write the words, 'Will you' with a tree trunk .."

"A tree trunk? Write?" Valka asked.

"Yes, mom. I've seen him do it!" Hiccup said excitedly. "I'm not done yet!"

Valka smiled at her son's enthusiasm, "Go on .." she pressed him.

"Then I'm going to get some torches and put them on the ground so she can read out the words. And when that's all done, I'm going to go to her house with a single flower, a red rose, and ask her to go on a night flight with me. Then when she gets on Toothless, we're going to recreate the stunts Toothless the first time Astrid ever flew him. Then, we'll go on the romantic flight, just like we did the first time we flew on him together. And when we're done with the flight, Toothless will fly over to the cliff where the proposal will be." Hiccup sounded so confident and so enthusiastic. He had a grin from ear-to-ear and he was had pure happiness on him.

Valka loved the idea. It sounded so blissful and romantic and just perfect. "That sounds, amazingly beautiful Hiccup and I know she will say yes." She put her hand and cupped it on his cheek like she did the first time she saw him when she was with the Bewilderbeast. Hiccup smiled at the gesture and the two embraced in a hug.

That night when Hiccup finished the drawings and went to sleep, he thought of his future life with his future family in their future home and his future wife being the first thing he see everyday and the last thing he sees every night.

~~~[Astrid]~~~

Astrid laid in bed. She wasn't really sure what to make of Hiccup's behavior. Has she been reading all the signs wrong? Sure he wanted to propose, he said that himself, but that doesn't mean he is anytime soon. Astrid closed her eyes and tried to imagine her future with Hiccup and it seemed perfect and blissful, but then her thoughts became troubled. Was it too perfect and too blissful? Doubt set into her mind as she lay in her bed staring at her ceiling wondering if she's just getting worked up over nothing.

Hope you guys liked this chapter and stay tuned for the next one (:!
