Hey guys I'm back with a new chapter (:! I'll try to drag this as long as I can :P.

Astrid strolled through the village, in the happiest move she'd ever been. She was walking around saying hello to everyone rather than keeping to herself. And as she greeted everyone with a huge grin on her face, she didn't forget to wave to everyone with her hand. And of course, it was her left hand. So as soon as people notice a shining ring in the sunlight, everyone already knew what was up.

"They're getting married!"

"About time!"

"We'll have a new heir in no time!"

"Congratulations Astrid!"

With the news spreading quick that their chief had already chosen his bride, it was no surprise that when it reached the Great Council, right after their initial meeting about Alvin and Dagur, they wanted to host yet another meeting concerning the wedding arrangements and a soon-to-be heir.

"Calm down guys! We have other things to talk about first!" Hiccup yelled against the voices of the Great Council, but he didn't have the volume to match Stoick's booming voice. He sighed in frustration and laid back slumped in his chair to listen to what they had to say.

"Oh a boy with the strength of Astrid and the smarts of Hiccup? That would be a great chief!" They boomed.

"Strength of Astrid? Wha- C'mon guys don't you think I'm pretty strong too?" Hiccup said as he tried to flex, but sadly failed.

"Aye, don't worry laddie," Gobber said as he put his arm on Hiccup's shoulder, "You've got the brains." He said as he started laughing a bit, not realizing what he had stirring up in Hiccup.

Even as chief, he was still a laughing stock. He sighed. He could really go for a flight right now .. "Well. Since the whole Alvin and Dagur has been discussed the meeting is now over. We'll keep our guards up, but we will not start a war. Understood? .. Good." And with that Hiccup walked out of there, still embarrassed.

He jumped on Toothless who had been resting outside the Great Hall since the meeting started. "C'mon bud, let's get out of here." And with that, they took off into the sky and began circling around Berk. Normally, he'd start traveling to distant lands and mapping them out, but now with the duties he has as chief, he can't stray too far away from his tribe.

"Strength of Astrid and smarts of Hiccup!" Hiccup mimicked them in their accents. He yelled as he laid down on Toothless back. Toothless, feeling his owner's frustration, mumbled/gurgled something and Hiccup patted him.

"I know bud .. it is true .. " Just then as he said that, Valka appeared next to him out of the clouds.

"What's true mi'boy?" Valka asked as she saw Hiccup laying on Toothless with frustration all across his face.

"The Great Council thinks I'm a joke because Astrid's stronger than me, and a lot tougher than me." He explained to his mom with a sigh. Normally he wouldn't let it out so easily, but it's his mom. He did take after her.

"And what's wrong with Astrid being stronger?" Valka scoffed, slightly annoyed.

"Nothing .. It's just that .. " Hiccup trailed off. He didn't know how to put it. He didn't want to seem like it's offensive that the girl is stronger than him, but he didn't know how to explain what he really felt.

"Hiccup, it doesn't matter." she replied to her son very bluntly. "And it shouldn't. What should matter is the love you guys have together and the love you guys are willing to give your children."

Hiccup sat up and looked at his mom with a twinkle in his eye. "Really?" He asked, with a slight smile, asking for reassurance.

"Yes, really." Valka replied with a nod.

Toothless looked up at Hiccup with his mouth open in what looked to be a side smile to ask his owner if he's alright. Hiccup patted Toothless on the head and smiled at him, "Yeah, buddy. I'm fine."

"Well, it looks like I should be off starting supper. Don't be late!" Valka said as she was about to fall back on to Berk. "Oh! And one more thing Hiccup. Bring Astrid." And with that, she pulled back on Cloudjumper and they angled downwards to land, back to Berk.

Hope you guys like this chapter! I'll be bringing back Ruffnut/Snotlout (I think their couple name is Rufflout if I am not mistaken), soon!
