Unexpected ~How To Train Your Dragon Love Story~

Chapter 3 Forgotten Love

A S T R I D

I'm way over Hiccup. I realized grieving wasn't gonna get me anywhere. Stupid how I just realized that last year. Well now, it's offically 24 hours before Hiccup gets back. And to be honest, I'm kinda mad at him, and at the same time excited.

"Hiccup's coming home tomorrow!" Fishlegs trotted around the table.

"Hmph" I rolled my eyes.

"Not excited?" Snotlout scoffed.

"Ugh, me either" Tuffnut and Ruffnut said together.

"Yeah, he pretended like we never existed. Not sending us mail to let us know if he's okay or just to wonder if we're okay" I grumbled.

"Yeah, when I get my hands on his neck I'm going to wrangle him" Snotlout growled his fists clenched.

"Count me in" I smirked flicking my bangs away from my face.

"I'll just watch" Fishlegs laughed nervously.

"I'm gonna hold his feet" Tuffnut smirked.

"I'll hold his arms" Ruffnut replied.

"I think we just planned the perfect murder" I laughed.

"We won't murder him, just give him a lesson" Snotlout smirked punching his palm.

"Alright Vikings! Rest now! Tomorrow's a big day!" Stoik sounded excited.

"Alright, night guys" I waved.

"Night, Astrid"

Everyone gathered at the plaza holding up 'Welcome Home Hiccup!' signs.

Snotlout, Fishlegs, Ruff, Tuff and I with our dragons, sat on this high rock thing, letting us see everything at the plaza.

"Can't believe everyone's at the plaza, waiting for someone who hasn't even made contact for 5 years" Tuffnut growled.

"Yeah, or sent us gifts" Ruffnut said after.

Everybody started clapping and cheering.

"THEY'RE HERE"

"HICCUP!"

"THE BIG FOUR!"

I sighed.

"Looks like he brought his new friends" I rolled my eyes.

I saw 4 figures but 1 stood out the most. Hiccup was, finally a man. I widened my eyes and we all dropped our jaws.

He had longer hair with some braids, and it looked cool on him. His clothes are new and improved, he became buffer and his face, was the one that changed the most. He wasn't cute anymore, he was handsome, really handsome.

"Woah is that--"

"I know" I interrupted Snotlout.

"Man, it'd be hard to strangle him if he's grown that, manly" Snotloud groaned.

He was absolutely positively murdered by puberty. He looked amazing. No Astrid. I shook my head. No.

"Hey Berk! I'm back!" Hiccup yelled, completely unaware his old friends were just there.

"We're the big four! This is Jack Frost" He pointed to a pale white haired boy who did an Indian squat on a long wooden stick. (I know that people who believes in Jack Frost see him, but I decided to ignore that in this story)

"Rapunzel" he pointed to a short haired brunette who smiled wide, frying pan and a chameleon with her.

"And finally.... Merida" There was something different in the way he said her name. I couldn't quite put my finger on it.
