Back with a new chapter and more inspiration (:! Hope you guys like it. This wasn't how I planned it'd go at first but I decided on something different. We'll be introducing Heather in this chapter ;), but don't worry! Everything will end happily and peacefully and better than before.

The next morning Hiccup got up early and woke Toothless up for his morning ride. At first Toothless wasn't too happy about getting up earlier, but soon gave way into a flight. As they soared through the sky, Hiccup spotted a familiar ship. Heather?! Toothless and Hiccup landed on the docks just as they pulled in. "H-hey Heather." Hiccup said as he greeted her. He was going in for a wave but was pulled into a hug instead.

"Hey Hiccup, I'm so so sorry about your loss." Heather said as she pulled him in tighter, as if the tighter she pulled him, she'd take away his sadness and grief.

At the mention of his father, he softened up and hugged her back. "Thanks." was all he managed to reply.

Toothless nudged in between Heather and Hiccup and Heather smiled down at Toothless who gave what seemed like a smile to Heather. She pet him, which Toothless enjoyed. Hiccup smiled at their interaction and let his mind wander for a little and then he realized something. Heather can help me with the proposal! She'd help him.

"Hey Heather, do you mind helping me with something?" Asked Hiccup.

"Yeah, sure of course Hiccup. Anything. I owe you my life for saving my parents and I." she replied back

"Come with me .. " Hiccup said as he motioned her to follow and the two walked off towards the forest with Toothless following right next to Hiccup.

It's hard not to see Hiccup their new chief as well as his rare Night Fury, but seeing Heather with them was just frosting on the cake. So when Astrid spotted them as soon as she woke up, she wasn't too happy. HEATHER? WHAT?! Astrid thought as she saw them walk right past their house before she got out. "Is this seriously happening .." She mumbled to herself. It was worst enough that she didn't feel too good about the proposal, it's worst that Heather is back, and of course, she's with Hiccup as soon as she got here. Astrid sighed and rage swelled up in her as she marched off to see Stormfly.

~~~[Snotlout]~~~

Snotlout was walking around the village. He didn't know what he wanted to do but he knew he wanted to be with Ruffnut. There just something about her. Then as he walked, he spotted Hiccup enter the forest with Heather and Toothless. Ooh, she's back? I knew she'd be back .. No wait. Stop it Snotlout. Sure he found Heather very attractive, but there was something about thinking that that felt wrong to him now. Ruffnut wouldn't like this .. Was the first thing Snotlout thought as he continued walking around the village then Snotlout's eyes widened, and neither would Astrid. He wasn't going to do anything, no of course not. That was way too much. But he wouldn't mind watching how this all plays out, and neither would Ruffnut. I know what we're going to do today he thought to himself, as he walked to find Ruffnut, waiting for Astrid to confront Hiccup.

~~~[Astrid/Ruffnut/Snotlout/Hiccup/Heather]~~~

"Sorry I'm late again guys. We were working on something an- " Hiccup said as he and Heather got off Toothless before he was cut off.

"Working on what?" Astrid said tensely with her hands on her hips and her eyebrow raised. As this started, Snotlout nudged Ruffnut and he smiled at her and pointed and she nodded her again in agreement with a smile. Before they turned back to watch the fight unfold, Snotlout put his hand in Ruffnut's and they smiled at each other at this.

"Uh .. we were working on uhh .. outfits!" Hiccup said as he smiled sheepishly. "I know it's really embarrassing .. "

"Hiccup I know when you're lying so don't even start." Astrid was glaring at Hiccup and Heather. "And don't even try the outfit thing again. Last time you said that it was a dragon and back then, dragons weren't all that popular."

"Look Astrid I know it looks really bad bu-" Hiccup was about to say something before he was again cut off.

"Save it. I don't want to hear it now. Get on with the lesson." Astrid said angrily and turned her head to Stormfly. Yup, that proposal isn't coming anytime soon, Astrid thought to herself.

After the lesson, Astrid left immediately, not wanting to hear anything from Hiccup anymore, not wanting to see him at all. Hiccup tried to chase after her before she flew too far away to turn back but she ignored him.

Heather walked up to him and put a hand on his shoulder, "Hiccup she'll be okay. Once she see's what you've got planned, I'm sure any girl would say yes, let alone Astrid, a girl you've spent years with. Once we find this specific rose you're looking for, everything will be set." Heather looked him in his green eyes and smiled.

"You think?" Hiccup asked looking back at her with a determined face.

"Yes." She said with a nod.

Hiccup was hoping she'd say 'I know' cause that's what Astrid would say. But she isn't Astrid. He looked out to the sea the direction Astrid left and pursed his lips.

~~~[Astrid]~~~

Astrid flew around the sky. She was far from Berk, far from Hiccup, far from Heather. "Heather cannot be trusted and I don't see why Hiccup's with her!" Astrid yelled and screamed at no one at all besides the clouds. Stormfly looked at her rider who quickly put her hand her dragons neck as to say, 'its okay.'

"She has an ulterior motive. I know it. And I will find out. And when I do, Hiccup will get one heck of a beating for trusting her again!" she yelled again. She really wanted to get her axe and go into the forest to hit some trees but she couldn't and she wouldn't. She wanted to avoid Hiccup and Heather, and for all she knows they could be together in that very forest right this second in her spot with her trees. The thought of it just made her cringe.

~~~[Snotlout/Ruffnut]~~~

"That. Was. AWESOME." Ruffnut said excitedly.

"Yeah, but I still wish Astrid would've gone after Heather or Hiccup. That, would be great!" Snotlout said laughing.

"Aw man, I wish!" Ruffnut said back a little disappointed at the thought that didn't happen.

The couple were walking towards the beach again, in the same spot they were last time. This was becoming their spot and they liked it.

"So .. are things any better with your parents?" Snotlout asked as they sat down.

"No, not really. You?"

"Nope. It's kind of miserable in that house with my father, you know?" Snotlout said a little saddened that his dad wasn't happy with what he's becoming to be.

"Same here, but you know, at least we're together?" Ruffnut said back to Snotlout. It worked last time to cheer each other up, so maybe it'll work again.

"Yeah." Snotlout said with a smile. "We can be miserable together." He said, then thought about what he just said. "Wait, that sounded bad .. "

"It sounded fine to me." Ruffnut smiled at him and looked over to face him and he did the same. They both leaned in for a kiss.
