Everyone sat in my living room. We were watching bachelor islands, why? The girls forced us to. My phone rang.
"Really Hiccup?" Snoutlout asked teasingly
"Shut up." I smirked throwing a pillow at him

He laughed, catching it.
I looked at my phone.
"Hey dad, why have you been gone so long?" I asked

Snoutlout sat up and looked at me. We've been worried about my dad. How long has he been gone exactly? It's almost winter break. Astrid still hasn't woken up. The project was due next week.
"Son... Sorry I've been gone so long. I...I uh, met someone. I'll be home with her in a few days. How's school?"
"Um...g-good? Who's she?"
"You'll meet her. Mildew? How's he been treating you?"

My face paled as my stomach turned to stone at the mere mention of my uncles name. 
"Eye, Hiccup? You ok?" Merida asked.

The lights flickered.
"What was that?" My dad asked.

The power went off.
"Powers out." I said.
"Oh. Is your friend out the hospital?"
"What? Who told you?"
"Gobber."
"No."
"You might want to head over there. Isn't she still on machines?"
"Oh Thor!!! Bye dad!" I said hanging up
"Hiccup?" Mala asked.

I ran for the door, telling Toothless and Stormfly to stay as I threw on my shoe. 

"Hiccup what's going on?" Heather asked
"Powers out. Astrid's still on machines." I said

Everyone's eyes went wide in realization

We ran to the hospital. We burst through the doors.
"Can I help you?" The receptionist asked
"Hofferson. Astrid Hofferson."
"Oh! Her? You...may want to sit down..."

We did
"We're having a bit of a.... Situation... With her...she hasn't woken up yet. But, she shouldn't have been in a comma in the first place. Stitches from the shark attack busted and her foot shattered. She's completely fine now, but she went into a comma for an unknown reason. And... seeing she's on machines..."

Heather stared crying.
"Is she ok?" I asked.
"So- hold that thought. Yes? Oh...oh dear... Yes. I'll run by. You lot. Come with me. Hurry." She said

We ran to Astrid's room
"Stay out here."

She went in

After awhile​, she came out
"She's almost up. Who is Hiccup and Heather​?"

We stood.
"You two can come in."

We walked in. I sat down and held her hand. Heather held the other. 
"Hiccup. She'll be fine. It's Astrid." Heather said.

I smiled and hugged her. We pulled away.
"Ugh... H-hiccup...h-heather..." Astrid groaned in her sleep.
"Sh.sh. it's ok...I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere." I whispered.
"H-hiccup? W-what?" She mumbled.
"Um...what's going on?" Heather asked
"I don't know​."
"NO!" Astrid screamed sitting up suddenly.

A doctor ran in and calmed her down
"Ms. Hofferson? Are you-"
"Yes...I'm...I'm fine..."

She nodded and left.
"Ash?" We asked

She turned and gasped.
"Hiccup! Heather!"

We laughed and hugged her. We sat on the bed.
"Ash."
"Hiccup."

We hugged. She didn't let go for a long time.
"Are you ok?" She asked.

We pulled away
"What? Yes. Why? Your the one who's been in the hospital!"
"School. So much work!"
"It's ok. We took care of it. You have all As." Heather laughed.
"Really? Thanks you guys!" She said.

(Time skip)
"Dauger. You can put me down. I can walk." Astrid said
"Nope. You didn't want to use the wheel chair, so. seeing brother Hiccup can't carry you and it's my turn, no." Dauger spoke fast.
"Why can't I walk?"
"Doctors orders." I smiled.
"Shut up." She sneered playfully as I sat down
