Berk has been rebuilt back to its former glory and in good timing.
Stoick held a piece of parchment he received just now looking over it, it seems that his family is coming to Berk for a visit for about a week.
Stoick called over Valka.
"Val look at this my family is coming by tomorrow, my brothers Stein, Rodmar, my sister Grima and Rodmar's son Folkmar."
Valka grabbed the parchment from Stoick's meaty hands.
"I will tell Hiccup the news, the last time they family was over was when Hiccup was 7."
Stoick nodded taking back the parchment paper and rolled it up."
Valka went up stairs and knocked on Hiccup's closed door.
She heard a muffled "Come in."
Valka walked in to see Hiccup working on his map with Toothless lounging lazily by his side. Hiccup patted Toothless absentmindedly.
Hiccup looked up from his journal turned map to see Valka. He gave her a heart warming smile.
"Hiccup we just now received a parchment from your father's family Stein, Rodmar, Grima and Folkmar are coming tomorrow for a visit and they are going to be staying for a week."
Hiccup's expression darkened. Toothless seeing his rider turn unhappy cooed. Hiccup rubbed his chin.
"Serious they are coming here tomorrow which is Thorsday?"
Valka nodded her head.
Hiccup let out a sigh. "Okay." "Thanks for telling me mom."
Valka gave him a warm smile and retreated back down stairs.
When Valka left Hiccup let his head fall on the desk with a loud thunk.
Toothless cooed.
"I know bud I should be happy that my family is coming but they all hate me."
"Folkmar is my age and all he did was make fun of me and my aunt and uncles said behind my back how useless I am but I am going to prove how wrong they are."
Toothless gave Hiccup a gummy smile and licked him.
Stoick ordered Hiccup to hide all of the dragons.
Stoick's family still killed dragons sadly.
Hiccup walked in to the academy seeing that everyone is all ready there.
"I can not believe we have to hide our dragons for this, they are family!" Snotlout whined.
"I hope I could possibly try to convince them that dragons are good then maybe they will see it our way." Hiccup suggested.
"I don't know Hiccup I heard Folkmar is coming." Fishlegs cringed.
"Don't worry Fishlegs, Folkmar could have changed and probably found that locking you in the academy boring now."
"And you will have all of us backing you up." Astrid pipes up.
"I hope Folkmar doesn't still think I am useless again."
Astrid laced her fingers with his.
"You will be fine Hiccup."
The horn blew signaling the arrival of their ship.
"They are here guys let s get this over with." Hiccup said deadpanned.
They all made their way to the docks.
Stoick and Valka were all ready there to greet them.
The first one to step off was Stein followed by Rodmar, Grima and Folkmar.
Folkmar was the same height as Hiccup but he had bulging muscles like most of the Haddocks.
He stood face to face with Hiccup. He smirked.
"Well isn't it the little runt Hiccup, at least you grew height wise."
Hiccup just steeled his jaw.
"So Stoick still have dragon problems around here?" Rodmar asked.
"No not at all."
"Such a shame I have been wanting to go on a dragon hunt." Grima pouted.
The Berkians tried their hardest not to cringe at the statement.
Folkmar lazily swung his sword around.
"I want to go dragon hunting, I haven't had a dragon pelt for my wall in forever, maybe we can find a Night Fury."
Hiccup took a step forward towards Folkmar but Astrid grabbed his arm shaking her head not to.
Hiccup let out a low growl.
Stoick then suggested to all go to the Mead Hall for a banqueted he prepared for them.
"I swear to the gods if he mentions about wanting to slay a dragon one more time..." Hiccup growled to Astrid under his breath.
Astrid had never seen Hiccup so livid before.
Astrid grabbed Hiccup's chin forcing him to stop and look into her eyes.
"Hiccup you have to calm down okay, everything will be fine all of the dragons are deep in the woods out of reach."
Hiccup looked more visibly relaxed.
"What would I do with out you Astrid."
"Probably dead by now." Astrid replied back heavy with sarcasm.
The gang sat at there usual table in the Mead Hall. Folkmar joined them at their table soon after.
"Hiccup you never introduced me to your "friends."
Hiccup scowled. "Fine Folkmar, this is Tuffnut, Riffnut, Fishlegs, Snotlout and Astrid.
Folkmar's eyes landed on Astrid and was instantly intrigued by her beauty.
"Ah divine beauty isn't it?" Folkmar said trying to flirt.
Astrid crossed her arms and scowled. She moved closer to Hiccup.
"What you don't like what you see?" Folkmar replied flexing his bicep.
Astrid whispered to Hiccup "Folkmar is like Dagur and Snotlout combined."
Hiccup whispered back "NOw you understand why I can not stand him."
This made Astrid chuckle.
Folkmar started to get annoyed because he did not know what Hiccup just said to make her laugh.
Folkmar cleared his throat. "So Hiccup how many dragons have you killed?"
The whole table quieted down at the question.
Hiccup clenched his fist under the table making his knuckles turn white. Astrid placed a comforting hand on his thigh.
He briefly looked at her, she shook her head slightly telling him not too.
"It is killing Hiccup inside that he can't show his stubborn family the great life with dragons.
"I have killed thousands of them." Hiccup choked out.
"Really now, whats you favorite end move?" "I like stabbing it in the stomach and let it suffer."
By now the whole table wanted to strangle Folkmar for his cruelty against dragons.
"Lets change to a different topic." Fishlegs suggested nervously.
Folkmar being non the wiser just shrugged his shoulders.
"Okay then." "How did you lose your leg Hiccup?"
"Uh...umm." Hiccup started to panic a little.
Astrid piped up. "He lost it in a forge accident."
Folkmar laughed. "Ah Hiccup still the clumsy one of the family."
Folkmar turned his attention once again to Astrid.
"So Astrid are you seeing anyone recently?"
Astrid scowled again and ignored him.
"Come on Astrid I mean look at me I am amazing, all of the women at my village want a piece of me."
"I am an heir to the throne I can give you anything." Folkmar continued while wiggling his eyebrows.
Astrid groaned. "You sound just like Snotlout."
"Hey!"
"I am way better at flirting." Snotlout pouted.
"Come on divine beauty give me a chance."
"Leave her alone Folkmar." Hiccup growled at him.
"Excuse me but this doesn't concern you runt."
Hiccup gritted his teeth.
Folkmar had his mouth in a shape of a an o.
"I get you think you have a chance with her don't you, all little Hiccup has a crush on a babe that is way out of his league."
Folkmar barked out a laugh.
"Now Astrid I will ask you one more time to date me."
Astrid crossed her arms. "I rather have my head chopped off by an axe." She sneered at him.
Folkmar shrugged.
"Whatever whore." Folkmar said into his tank of mead.
Astrid stood up ready to pound him but Hiccup beat her to it.
Hiccup leaped across the table and tackled Folkmar.
He gave a good punch to Folkmar's jaw.
By now everyone stopped and looked at the commotion.
Hiccup grabbed Folkmar by his shirt and slammed him in the ground.
"I swear to gods if you ever call Astrid that again I will do much worse than that bruised jaw."
Snotlout and Tuffnut dragged Hiccup off of Folkmar.
They grabbed both of his arms trying to hold him back.
"Let it go cuz, he isn't worth it." Snotlout grunted trying to calm him down.
Stoick and the others tried to make there way through.
Astrid cupped Hiccup's face with both hands forcing him to look at her.
"Hiccup look at me, its over okay calm down, I am fine, cool off and I will come to your place okay."
Hiccup gradually calmed almost.
Stoick's voice boomed through the hall. "What in the name of Thor is going on here?"
Valka, Rodmar, Stein, and Grima trailing behind him.
Stoick sees Folkmar on the ground holding his jaw and Snotlout and Tuffnut trying to hold back Hiccup.
Snotlout and Tuffnut let go of Hiccup since Astrid talked to him.
"Stoick what is the meaning of this?" "Your son attacked my son for no reason!" Rodmar exclaimed to his brother.
"Now there has to be a reasonable explanation right Hiccup?"
Hiccup growled and burst his way out of the Mead Hall and into the night.
Rodmar helped his son stand up while Grima got him a block of ice.
"Stoick Hiccup almost broke my son's jaw!"
Stoick turned to Fishlegs since he is the most honest one out of the group.
"Fishlegs wait exactly happen?"
Fishlegs twiddled his thumbs and stuttered "Folkmar was flirting with Astrid mult-multiply times and Hiccup warned him."
"He gave Astrid one more chance to except his offer but she refused and Folkmar called Astrid a terrible name."
"And what name is that Fishlegs?" The chief asked.
"My mom told me to never call a women that ever so I refrain from saying it."
Stoick sighed. "Snotlout what did he call her."
Stoick picked Snotlout because he always says what's on his mind.
Snotlout looked down at his finger nails cleaning the dirt underneath them and casually said "Whore." with a bored expression on his face.
There was collective gasps from the crowd.
Stoick grunted and turned to Folkmar who didn't seem guilty at all.
Calling a women a whore is the ultimate degrading name for women.
"Is this true Folkmar."
Folkmar just snorted. "Um of course she is one anyway if she didn't accept my offer."
"Why you little..." Astrid stomped forward only to be held back by Snotlout and Tuffnut.
Stoick filled with anger for Folkmar calling his future daughter in-law that degrading name.
"Folkmar get yourself cleaned up and settled at my house then we will talk."
"Banquet is over everyone return to your homes!" Stoick called out to the crowd.
Astrid went out the door to the Haddock residents.
She was going to stay there for a couple of nights because her mom, dad and Kar went on a hunting trip.
She entered the Haddock household and straight up to Hiccup's room.
She found him laying on his back with his arms stretched out wide looking at the ceiling on his bed.
She sat beside him on the bed not saying a word.
She just sat there combing through his hair comfortingly.
"I never got to thank you Hiccup for sticking up for me back there." Astrid said softly.
Hiccup looked at Astrid for the first time.
"You don't need to thank me for that, you could have easily beaten him to a pulp." Hiccup replied back just as soft.
Hiccup sat up and clasped his hands together and ran them through his hair while letting out a sigh.
"I should have never exploded like that."
"No one blames you Hiccup."
"I know."
Astrid yawned followed by Hiccup.
"We should go to bed before everyone else arrives." Hiccup suggested.
"I agree."
Astrid took off her spiked skirt, shoulder pads and hood.
Hiccup already took off his flight gear so he proceeded to unclasp his prosthetic and placed beside his bed and lifted his green tunic over his head.
Astrid blew out the candles and curled into Hiccup's chest. Hiccup wrapped an arm over her waist.
They fell asleep hoping that Hiccup does not have to pay the price tomorrow.
