Disclamer, I don't own the characters of How to train your dragon , or Skullette, I only own FireFang

~.~Normal P.O.V~.~

Hiccupwas already sitting at his desk when the infamous Astrid Hofferson sat down in front of him. They had at least ten or twenty minutes until class started and he was going to use that time to get her to say something.

"Hey, do you have a pen or pencil I could borrow?" Hiccup asked Astrid tapping her shoulder.

Her only response was a shake of her head.

He frowned at that.

I don't even know why I want to make her talk, but I will. He thought.

"You're new to Falcon, aren't you?"

He didn't get any type of response this time, so he just sat back and thought of other things he could do another time.

~.~Atrid P.O.V~.~

So, a few seconds after I walked into homeroom and sat down, this guy that sits behind me asks if I have a pen or pencil. I know I saw a pencil on his desk when I walked in, even if my hair is covering my eyes, so I shook my head. Then he asked if I was new to the school. Well duh, isn't that obvious? No one knows me, and I showed up a couple of days after the second week of school. I didn't even bother giving him an answer that time, I just continued to look out the window like I did every day and tried to figure out what my eyes turning purple could mean.

~.~

During lunch, you could find Astrid in one of two places; on the roof, or on the football field sitting on the top of the bleachers. Right now, she was sitting on the roof and talking Bloodfire on the phone.

"How's Berk Astrid?" Bloodfire asked.

"It's okay, but do you know how many guys have tried to hit on me since I've been here?" Astrid asked with a sigh.

"No, how many?"

"I'm pretty sure every single guy here has tried."

"Oh wow, how lucky are you?"

"Lucky? It's so annoying! I don't think they're getting the message that I'm not going to talk to anyone."

"What? You aren't even trying to make friends?"

"Nope, don't need them."

"It's your eyes, isn't it?" Bloodfire sighed.

"I don't want anyone to see them."

"But if you keep ignoring people, and judging by the last time I saw you, you still have your bangs covering your eyes, right?"

"Yes? So?"

"Well, that'll only leave people to think you're on drugs."

"What? I am not on drugs!"

"It's what I would think if I didn't know you."

"Well you do know me, and you know that I don't do drugs."

"That's true, I gotta go now, I need to find Asta and get her notes from history."

"Man, I wish that I was still at Shards with you guys."

"We wish it too, talk to you later."

"Okay, later."

Astrid hung up and picked up her bag to go back in the building. But before she did she wanted to see if she finally managed to control her emotions a bit.

"Alright first I'll try yellow."

She got out her mirror and thought about the time her mom got their dog Stormfly. Astrid smiled at the memory and moved her bangs to see that her eyes were yellow and that the sky, which was a little bit cloudy before, was now bright and sunny as ever. She looked at the time and noticed that she only had five minutes to make it to class on time.

"Aw shit! I'm gonna be late!"

Astrid ran back inside to get to her English class, but she bumped into someone on the way.

"Hey, watch where you're… oh it's you. Astrid, right?"

Astrid moved around the person she bumped into and tried to start running again but the person grabbed her wrist.

"Wait a second, I'd like to introduce myself. I'm Snotlout and we have the same English class together."

Astrid only shrugged and tried to pull her wrist free from Snotlout.

"You don't have to worry about being late. I'll just tell the teacher that we were talking and lost track of time. But only if you'll say something."

If he doesn't get out of my way I'm going to be late… and if I'm late I'll be pissed… then my eyes will be red and…

Astrid tried to pull herself free again, but couldn't. Then she looked through her bangs and saw that Snotlout was a monstrous nightmare demon.

"I see you still won't talk, huh? Those rumors really are true."

Snotlout let Astrid go and she made it English on time. He watched her go with a smirk on his face.

~.~Hiccup's House~.~

Every day after school Hiccup and his best friends, FireFang and Skullette, would hang out at his place. They'd usually be in the living room or his bedroom and right now they were in his bedroom.

"Do you guys know that girl Astrid Hofferson?" Hiccup asked from his spot on his bed.

"The blong girl who's bangs cover her eyes?" FireFang asked, sitting in Hiccup's desk chair.

"That's the one." Hiccup nodded.

"Let me see," FireFang pulled out a sheet of paper from a folder inside of her backpack. "Here it is, Astrid Hofferson, age is seventeen, class is senior, like us. She moved from West Hills where she went to Shards High School, and is currently living in a house in Umara with her mother, and a dog."

"Where the hell did you get all that?" Skullette asked, sitting on a bean bag next to her cousin FireFang with a rubrics cube in her hands.

"I have my sources cuz."

Firefang, Hiccup's friend that had information on everyone at their school that she gets from 'sources'. Skullette is her cousin, one of the toughest females Hiccup knew. She could beat the crap out of anyone that pisses her off.

"Why are you asking about her?" Skullette asked Hiccup.

"I was curious about her; do you know why she never talks?" Hiccup asked.

"I'm not sure." FireFang said.

"Hiccup, do you have a crush on Miss Hofferson?" Skullette teased.

"Hell no, you want to figure out why she isn't speaking just as much as I do right?"

"How'd you know?"

"Please Skullette, a new girl that won't speak or make eye contact with anyone? That is a mystery you can't resist."

"I love a good mystery what can I say?" Skullette replied.

"So do I cuz." FireFang said

~.~ Astrid's House~.~

"I'm home!" Astrid called.

"Welcome home sis!" Astrid's thirteen-year-old brother Lanon called from the living room.

"Where is mom?" Astrid asked, plopping down on the couch next to him.

"She's in the garage looking for a cook book in some of the boxes we haven't unpacked yet."

"I'm going to go help her then."

Astrid walked into the garage and saw her mom standing there with her arms crossed.

"That book… where in the world is it?" Alle huffed.

"I don't know mom maybe it's… oh, right here." Astrid lifted a book from the hood of the car.

"Now how did it get there?" Alle ran over to Astrid, taking the book from her.

"You don't have the light on. You probably didn't notice that it was what you were looking for."

"Probably, now I can start on dinner. Wait, I need to clean this up first."

"I've got it, don't worry."

"Thank you hon." She kissed Astrid's cheek and left to prepare dinner.

Astrid smiled then got to cleaning. She started with a box filled with old photo albums.

"I remember this day." Astrid laughed.

~.~Flashback~.~

Astrid who was thirteen at the time and Lanon who was nine, were having a contest to see who could clean the house the fastest.

"If I win, I get to watch my show on TV first!" Astrid said.

"And if I win I get to!" Lanon said.

The race began. Astrid started cleaning the dishes and the entire kitchen, and Lanon went to clean the bedrooms. After the kitchen, Astrid went to clean the bathrooms and Lanon went to clean the living room. The last place to clean was the dining room. Astrid and Lanon both cleaned the table, but were now fighting over the vacuum.

"Come on, I had it first!" Lanon said pulling it his way.

"No you didn't, I did!" Astrid said pulling it her own way.

Lanon pulled it again and when Astrid pulled it too he let it go and she flew back. Then he ran over and took it.

"Ha! Guess I win!" Lanon vacuumed, and Astrid growled then kicked the vacuum, somehow making the bag explode.

A camera flashed on their stunned faces.

"I don't know if either of you won look at this mess."

Astrid's head snapped up to see her father standing in the entrance to the dining room.

"When did you get back Daddy?" Astrid asked, running to her dad.

"A while ago, but I watched you two clean." Aevar said, kissing Astrid's forehead.

"Where is mom at dad?" Lanon asked, dusting the dirt off his clothes, not that it did much good.

"She went to visit your uncle. But if you don't mind, I'd like to clean this before she gets here, how about you two?"

Astrid and Lanon eagerly nodded and the three of them cleaned the dining room. Aevar snapped another picture of his children when they finished. Astrid's eyes were as bright as the sun.

~.~Flashback End~.~

Astrid looked at the photo and noticed the color of her eyes. They always turned yellow when her father came back from one of his long business trips, he happened to be on another one right now.

Why do my eyes change at all? Astrid thought.

Astrid sighed and went back to putting everything back in boxes. She was closing the last one when she noticed a binder labeled with her name in her father's handwriting. She opened it and found some sort of riddle on the first page.

Since the child was born she held a great power

Eyes that change color but can also change weather

But there is more to learn so answers she must seek

Before the one who wants her gift makes his move

For if he can, chaos and destruction will come to all

"Who would want a girl who can only change the weather? Why would a person want to change it in the first place?" Astrid asked herself.

She put the last box away, and took the binder upstairs to her room. The next few pages were about her eye colors and what she could do with the weather when her emotions were strong enough.

Dad has some explaining to do when he gets back. Astrid thought, closing the binder, and shoving it under her bed. She went back downstairs afterward to wait on dinner.

"You play these video games too much." Astrid leaned upside down over the couch next to Lanon.

"And you don't play enough of them." Lanon said, never taking his eyes from his game.

"Sorry that playing Mario Kart or Naruto isn't on the top of my list of things to do."

"I play more games than that sis, but if you were to play them against me, you'd lose."

"Oh yeah," Astrid flipped completely over the couch then sat on it. "Loser washes dishes tonight?"

"You are so on, grab the other Wii remote and a steering wheel." Lanon pointed to a spot next to the TV where they kept the games and other stuff for the Wii.

Astrid got what she needed, and soon they started racing. After the game dinner was ready and the loser was extremely pouty.

"Who's washing the dishes tonight?" Alle asked.

Without a word Astrid gathered the plates, cups, and utensils, and headed into the kitchen to wash them.

"Why is she so grumpy?" Alle asked her son.

"She lost a game and has to wash." Lanon answered.

"My bangs were in my eyes and I couldn't see, okay!" Astrid huffed.

"When aren't they?" Lanon mumbled.
