After eating, the two Haddocks walked outside and began their tour around the town square. They walked into every stall, much to Hiccup's disapproval.

So far they had been to almost every available spot but they still hadn't found anything to Hiccup's liking.

Finally Stoick took him to the most sought after tailor in Berk. Her skills were highly appreciated and loved by all. Only the richest traders managed to buy some of her work.

The old lady proudly showcased all her best works explaining the importance of each one. Finally she showed them her latest design.

It was a beautiful red fabric, it looked soo soft and had the most detailed design on the hems Hiccup had ever seen.

The old lady noticed how intrigued he was and took the opportunity to give him all the details.

'It is made from the finest silk, dyed with the best dye and finished with the most intricate gold embroidery you can find.' She said.

'Do you like it Hiccup?' Stoick asked hopefully.

'Of course I like it dad, but this is way too much.' Hiccup said, staring at the beautiful designs on the fabric. 'Also why in Thor's name would you buy something this expensive when I am only going to wear it once?'

'Hiccup, as the Heir of Berk, you can get it for free.' He said

'What!?' That didn't seem right to him. 'Dad, this isn't fair, I'm no different from all the other villagers.'

The tailor listened carefully and decided she should help the two of them. She understood that Hiccup was a very modest person and doesn't like to be treated differently than everyone else.

'I can make you a deal, young Hiccup.' She said thoughtfully. 'I'll make your clothes and all the offcuts will be given to the another stall in the plaza. That way, someone else will able to use the fabric for a cheap price.'

'How does that sound Hiccup?' Stoick asked.

He thought about it for a while and decided that it would be okay.

'Okay dad, thats fine.'

His dad and the tailor smiled. 'Okay then, lets get some measurements.'

She got her yarn and wrapped it around his waist once. Keeping her finger where it was, she put a mark on the fabric and then moved on to measure his chest. Repeating the same process, she did his arms and wrist as well.

Once the measuring was done, Hiccup and Stoick left. They were to come pick up the clothes in three days.

The next day, on the other side of the plaza, Astrid was having the same problem with her mother.

'No, no dear, you need something softer than that.'

'No Astrid, that is too plain.'

'Astrid, look at that colour, it doesn't match your style.'

Astrid was becoming more and more irritated with every word her mother said. Why couldn't she just let her pick some fabric and go home?

Once again she and her mother walked to another stall. But this time something caught Astrid's eye. The most beautiful red fabric she had ever seen and when she saw the embroidery she couldn't help but fall in love it.

'Oh my!' Her mother saw it and quickly began examining it from every angle. 'This is beautiful Astrid, if you want it I'll get it for you.'

'Are you sure mom?' She said looking at the designs again. 'It looks like it'll be really expensive.'

'Don't worry about that dear, if you want it, then you will have it.'

Her mother talked to the lady running the stall.

'Oh my Thor! Is that it?! That is very cheap for a fabric this delicate.' Astrid's mother was shocked, she would have to buy this before someone else did.

'I'll take it!' She said quickly and paid the lady. Then she left her to do what she needed.

The lady took Astrid's measurements and put the fabric away from the ones on sale.

As the two of them walked out, Astrid smiled. How did something soo beautiful end up in her hands? It would be a mystery but she knew for sure that she was very lucky her mother cared soo much for her.

Though the entire time she kept thinking about Hiccup. What would he wear? Did his dad make him wear a fur cape? Is he as worried about this dance as I am?

All she wanted to do was talk to him, but she knew wouldn't see him until the night of the festival.

Three days had passed and Astrid went to collect her dress with her mother. They entered the stall once more and saw the lady waiting with a box. She handed it to Astrid.

'Now this dress must only be washed if absolutely necessary, do not wear it in the sun or the colour will wear away and no training in it Astrid.' She informed half laughing.

Astrid laughed as well. Everyone on Berk knew how much she loved to train.

'Don't worry, I don't think I'll be able to move in it anyway.' She joked

The lady suddenly had a very serious look on her face. 'Oh, no dear, this dress is made of the softest silk, it'll feel like you are wearing nothing.'

'Oh okay, I'll take good care of it, thank you soo much.' Astrid turned and walked away with her mom.

Astrid went home and tried the dress on for the first time and she couldn't believe it. The lady was right, it really did feel like she wasn't wearing anything. It was soo soft and comfortable to wear. Her mother did the dress up from the back and told her to turn around.

'Oh my,' She started crying.

'Mom are you okay?'

'You're so beautiful.' She stood there admiring her daughter.

'Thanks mom.'

'Here,' She said, holding up a metal shield so she should see herself.

'Wow, this dress is amazing!' Astrid's eyes stared at the bold scarlet colour of the dress, before trailing the embroidery on the edges of the sleeves, around the collar and on the very bottom of the dress.

The gold pattern was extremely intricate.

It was hand weaved and every little pattern looked like it had taken years to do so.

The fitting was spot on.

It wasn't too tight but framed her body perfectly.

The neck cut wasn't too deep or too high.

The sleeves reached all the way to her wrists and had a very elegant looking piece of fabric that was a bit longer than the rest.

This dress was definitely perfect, and as much as Astrid would want to deny it, she did like it very much.

Her mother had her fold it neatly and put it back in the box so it wouldn't get dirty. She placed it in a chest away from any sort of leakage or dust.

This dress had be perfect for the dance.

For Hiccup.

Hiccup and Stoick went to collect his clothes from the tailor. She had it all ready and handed it to them so they could be on their way.

Hiccup went home and tried it on immediately. Stoick had to help him get the tunic over his head. He didn't want any rips before the night. He smoothed it out and looked at his reflection in awe.

'That's my boy!'

'Wow dad, this is more comfortable than I thought.' Hiccup said moving his arms and legs to see how much he could move.

His tunic was bit longer than his usual one, this one ended just above his knees. The fitting was perfect and he loved the feeling of the silk against his skin

The gold design was the exact same one on Astrid's dress, but Hiccup didn't know that.

His sleeves had the cut Astrid's did too.

His pants were a darker shade of red and were a a lot softer than his usual leggings.

After getting his fathers approval and admiring the clothing for the last time, he too folded it up neatly and packed it away.
