Chapter 2

A bell jingled as the door to a cafe was opened. Hiccup held the door open for Astrid.

"My! What a gentleman." Astrid giggled. "Who said chivalry was dead."

Astrid still had her lab coat on while Hiccup wore his armor.

"Are you sure this is alright?" Hiccup asked.

"Sure, this is no ordinary cafe." Astrid stated and Hiccup looked around. His eyes widened as he spotted some of Berk's villains simply lounging around in their civilian attire or costumes while eating cakes or muffins.

"So you guys have your own cafe?" Hiccup questioned as some henchmen passed by while balancing trays of to-go coffee cups.

"Well, if you are infamous then it is really tiresome to walk into a coffee shop expecting some peace and quiet and having the masses scream bloody-murder upon catching sight of you, before running out of the shop." Astrid said as they took a seat at the table.

"I'm actually more worried about being recognized like this." Hiccup mumbled as he gestured to his suit. He leaned forward, and spoke quietly, "I've fought with almost all of them before."

"Don't worry about it Hiccup." Astrid said nonchalantly as she called a waiter over. "They won't do a thing when you're with me."

A big burly man stopped in front of their table. "What will it be?" was then asked.

Hiccup's head shot up as he recognized the voice. He looked up and there stood Alvin the Treacherous, bankrobber extraordinaire as he had dubbed himself, in a white and pink striped frilly apron.

"Whut?!" Hiccup mumbled as his mouth formed an 'O' in surprise.

Alvin looked down as raised an eyebrow. "Well if it isn't Night Fury."

"Alvin! You work here?!"

"Of course I do." Alvin stated as he put his hands on his hips. "I have to have some form of income between heists."

"Eh.... okay." Hiccup mumbled as Astrid ordered a round of coffee and cupcakes for them.

Alvin jotted it down before heading to the counter. Hiccup looked at Astrid incredulously.

"The cupcakes here are delicious." Astrid stated as she rested her head against her arm and looked at Hiccup.

He shifted, sitting awkwardly with his hands in his lap, and avoided eye contact with everyone but Astrid. Alvin soon returned with two plates of giant cupcakes with colorful frosting on top and two cups of coffee.

"Here ya go. I just made them this afternoon." Alvin stated proudly and he was about to step away when he let out a groan and turned back.

"Alright I have got to know." He said as he pointed between Hiccup and Astrid. "How did this happen?"

"Well, Hic... I mean Night Fury here." Astrid said as she did not want to use his real name yet in front of the others. "Decided to join me for a cup of coffee after his idiot partner got himself splashed with chemicals and sprouted cat ears while rhyming sappy love songs and then he gets suspended for talking back. Can you believe it?!" Astrid said in one breath.

"Wait! Not the one in red right?" Alvin now asked.

"That's the one."

"You poor man! Having to work with that!" Alvin gasped. "Have another cupcake on the house. Why the hell would they even suspend you. That red one can't hit a target if it was standing still three centimeters in front of him."

"Pfft. You think that's bad? You should see the Zippleback Twins while training." Hiccup muttered. "They nearly seared my eyebrows off."

"That is why I suggested you come to our side! You really aren't sidekick material." Astrid said before taking a bite out of the cupcake.

"At least this one knows how to punch." Alvin said to Astrid as he jabbed his finger at Hiccup. "If it means anything, I think you would do good - bad, I mean - but you'll be good at doing bad things."

"Thanks?" Hiccup look up at Alvin, raising a brow. "I don't want to do bad things though." He glanced at Astrid, judging her expression, which had dulled a little. "Although I promised to do good, I'm frankly tired of taking crap from the heroes. Yet I don't see myself turning bad."

"Well then go into business for yourself then!" Alvin proclaimed. "Just look at me!"

"Alvin, you're a bankrobber." Astrid stated.

"It's a business!!" Alvin defended.

"If you're talking about business then my profession is just as good." Astrid huffed.

"You're a mad scientist who blows her lab up more than once a week!" Alvin quipped. "I wouldn't let you in my kitchen with the explosions I've seen you cause!"

"Oh hush you!" Astrid said and then asked Hiccup who had just burned his tongue on the hot coffee. "So what do you think? Want to start your own business?"

"Eih bow nyee." Hiccup said as he quickly fanned.

"What?" Astrid asked.

"He said I don't know." Alvin answered. "After working four years in a coffee shop you become an expert in gibberish."

"Yeah. I really don't know." Hiccup stated as the heat finally went down. "What exactly am I going to do if I were to quit."

"I know!" Astrid suddenly exclaimed. "Let's go job hunting!!"

"Job hunting." Hiccup skeptically said.

"Yes." Astrid now said with determination. "You are wasting your talent there. Besides they suspended you for being sassy. Not even the baddest super villain I know does that!"

"Eh... okay." Hiccup agreed.

Alvin saw a customer calling and bid the pair goodbye. "You two enjoy your date now!" He snickered as both Astrid and Hiccup had started to sport a blush.

"It's not a date!" Both yelled back at Alvin who just kept on laughing.

"Wait? Is it a date?" Hiccup asked as he looked at Astrid.

"Well.... Eh....... we could catch a movie afterwards if you want?" She mumbled.

"Want me to... eh.... Pick you up?" Hiccup now asked a little embarrassed.

"Yes! Sure! You know where my lab is!" Astrid agreed.

Mentally however both were freaking out. 'Oh my God! I have a date!' Ran through both their heads as they continued to make smalltalk.

Meanwhile at HQ, Commander Stoick, was sitting behind his desk with his bushy eyebrows raised as a cat eared Snotlout was spouting sappy love poems.
