After the fight, Ryder walked to the gate to see Astrid standing there.

Astrid grins "I hope you plan on revealing yourself sometime soon."

Ryder smirks "I thought you had the hots for me as a mysterious warrior?"

Astrid punches his shoulder and says "half troll."

Ryder laughs at the retort.

Chief Hamish ask "Ryder? Could you forgive my son for his assault on your friend?"

Astrid walks inside the arena and kicks them between their legs and says "I dare you to rape another girl pigs."

Hamish ask "is that really necessary?"

Ryder comments "depends on how much someone offends her."

Hamish sighs and leaves them.

Snotlout scowls "you just keep impressing Astrid and being her hero! Your just a boy raised by dragons and help raid us. Why would Astrid fall for you when she should be all of me!"

Astrid scoffs "keep dreaming, Snotlout! It's not going to happen!"

Two days later, Fragonard walked around to avoid seeing Astrid and Ryder.

Ryder worked in the forge while Astrid hanged out with Ruffnut for the day.

Stoick stop by and ask "Ryder do you mind for a chat if you have time that is?"

Gobber comments "yes you can borrow him."

Ryder and Stoick walked to the Haddock house to talk.

Once inside the Haddock house, they at the kitchen table.

Stoick comments "Astrid told me who you really are and I just wanted to apologize for never being there when you needed the most."

Ryder sighs "I'm sorry to for leaving, but I had no one to welcome me."

(With Astrid and Ruffnut)

Ruffnut ask "so you and Ryder seem close. Any chance that you both would consummate?"

Astrid scoffs "no! Any chance you and Fishlegs would date?"

Ruffnut comments "he's annoying."

Astrid sighs "I'm still trying to get Snotlout to stop coming after me."

Ruffnut comments "he wants to be Chief of Berk and since Hiccup gave you the position of heir."

A week later, Astrid was walking to the forge when Ruffnut walked upto her and says "let's go to the women's bathing springs and get clean for a date."

Snotlout overheard Ruffnut and ran to the docks to grab a spyglass from a ship at the docks.

He grabs the spyglass and runs to go grab Tuffnut.

Tuffnut was walking around the village when Snotlout grabbed him and ask "do you want to see something cool in the forest?"

Tuffnut comments "sure."

Snotlout and Tuffnut ran past the forge towards the forest.

Ryder finished delivering a cart of weapons when he saw Snotlout carrying a spyglass and running into the forest with Tuffnut and says "those two can't seem to stay out of trouble."

He sets the cart down and ran after them.

(Inside the forest)

Snotlout and Tuffnut climbed up a tree a meter from the girl's bathing springs.

Tuffnut ask "what are we doing here?"

Snotlout seductively answers "you watch for unwanted guests and I'll watch Astrid and girls taking a bath."

Ryder stalked Snotlout and Tuffnut in a tree with a spyglass and followed their direction to a place and followed it until he heard noise and peeked around a tree to see Astrid and Ruffnut taking a bath and he felt sick to his stomach.

He returned to where Snotlout and Tuffnut are and climbed the tree and scowls "I should cut both of your manhood off you sick pervs!"

Snotlout punches Ryder in the face knocking him off the tree.

Tuffnut climbs down and ask "what are we going to do? The girls will discover us."

Snotlout placed the spyglass in Ryder' hand and leaves to go spread a lie.

Tuffnut follow Snotlout into the village to blame Ryder.

(In the forest)

Ryder laid on the grass for a little bit before waking up "ouch!"

He slowly gets up and ask "where did Snotlout and Tuffnut go?"

"Ryder?"

Ryder turns to see Astrid and Ruffnut in towels and their hair damped and looks to see he's holding the spyglass and noticed Ruffnut scowling at him.

Astrid looks sad at him.

Ryder nervous backs up a step "look. I know this looks bad, but I wasn't spying on you two."

Ruffnut scowls "your dead!"

Ryder turned around and ran through the forest.

Ruffnut and Astrid chased Ryder through the forest.

Ryder entered the village and ran into Fishlegs.

Fishlegs comments "Snotlout and Tuffnut are telling the villagers that he caught you spying on the girls! I don't believe it."

Ryder ran to the Hofferson's house and snuck inside to house upto Astrid's bedroom and locked the door.

(With Fishlegs)

Fishlegs bumped into Astrid who was pissed.

She ask "have you seen Ryder?"

Fishlegs answers "he ran towards your house."

Astrid ran home since her parents would probably be home now.

Once inside, she runs upstairs to her bedroom and tries the door to see it's locked and scowls "Ryder, sweetie, can you please unlock the door so we can talk?"

Ryder peeked through the key hole to see her holding her axe and says "your lying! Your going to kill me!"

Ingrid walks upstairs and ask "what's going on?!"

Astrid scowls "me and Ruffnut caught Ryder spying on us with a spyglass while we were taking a bath and he locked himself in my bedroom."

Ingrid ask "Ryder? Sweetie? Can you unlock the door and let's talk."

Ryder nervous answers "no! Astrid is going to kill me before I explain that I caught Snotlout and Tuffnut spying on her!"

Ingrid sighs "Astrid? Give me your axe for now."

Astrid scowls "fine!"

She gives her mom her axe and walks downstairs and sits at the table scowling.

Ingrid sighs "Ryder? I sent Astrid downstairs to sit. I want to hear your story."

Ryder unlocks the door and cracked the door to see Astrid gone.

Ingrid comments "it's okay, Ryder. I'm confused about this story so please come downstairs and talk to us."

Ryder slowly opens the door and nervous followed Ingrid downstairs to see Astrid sitting down and says "I'm waiting."
