''Where are you going to teach mommy?''
''At the school that is not so far from where you're at.''
''Oh. So will there be a change in how I will go to school?''
''Maybe, we will just have to find out.'' It was almost time for Astrid to leave to take her exam and be certified as a teacher.
"Do you need any help momma?"
"No baby. All I need from you is to be a good little girl with grandma Iduna."
"So I'm not going to be with Hiccup?"
"No, he is very busy but he will be with you until I get back, okay?"
"Okay."
Hiccup
"Hiccup?"
"Oh hi, mom."
"I couldn't help but notice that you are in your old room."
"Yeah just bringing back a few memories and also came for something."
"Your old stuffed dragon."
"Yeah, I figure that I know who it can go to."
"Are you ready?"
"I am but I am also a bit nervous. We both do remember how me and Zephyr started out."
"Yes but she slowly grew to trust you and now she sees you as a father. Something she never had."
"My biggest worry is how her mother will react."
"Oh with her, I am sure she will accept."
"Yeah, but there is someone I have to check with. Despite everything, I still have to get someone's approval."
"Oh?" That is right, and for that, I have to go to Iduna's house.

"Don't worry about too much you prepared so well for it."
"I know but the nerves are there you know."
"Yeah but think about it this way, once you finish done you will be right here with us again. It will go by quick." Astrid smiled at her friend as they sat and watched the girls play in Iduna's backyard.
"You know what my mistake was?"
"What?"
"Leaving."
"But you came back and Zephyr is growing and has everything she could ever want."
"I agree."
"Hey, you want to know something?"
"What?"
"I thought you would be the first to know but...Fishlegs just proposed to me."
"What?"
"Yeah!!!"
"Oh my gosh, that is amazing. When will you guys make it public?"
"At dinner tonight?"
"Aww, and I won't be here. Although I am glad you told me first." The friends laugh and talked until it was time for Astrid to get going.
