(A/N ACCENTS! My enemies! I can't write it. So I used plain English...)

Astrid's POV

The little family of Hiccup's was working so flawlessly that I start to doubt it is real and I pinched myself to check if I'm not sleeping.

I was aware his relationships with everyone, both humans and dragons although I barely saw him out of "I'm the leader" position.

So I'm taking my time to take this sight in.

Toothless as the big brother, keeping the annoying little one safe.

Of course it was Hiccup. Like a little kid who had a hand on sweets, jumped around with crazy speed telling some barely understandable stories.

Toothless either volunteered to be the subject to support his crazy statements or defending him from hurting himself, since... Well, running around the houses was indeed dangerous if he does not pays attention where he goes like now.

Gobber, like a grandpa followed him around trying to figure out what does he want.

Gem like a proud parent watched over them from above.

Stormfly and Trouble like the kids from same age, join to play with him like overgrown puppies. To sight was extremely cute, what can I say. Especially with the "poor" blacksmith.

He welcomed Hiccup's hype, proudly listening to all the details he did not want to share before the agreement sealed, but since that concept is busted there was no need to hold back.

All his inventions, all his knowledge...

Somehow Gobber's trust in dragons were so great... or this trust was in Hiccup's? Who knows. The point is he did his best to follow the instructions, moreover to comment here and there.

I can imagine the rest of his close friends around him, like Heather being the big sister looking over them, sometimes arguing with Toothless who does not take it because he is the older... and I could go on his whole crew.

Gem pushed me off from the roof, Toothless caught me with his head. They all stopped looking at me, and I just waved awkwardly.

Hiccup helped me down, hugging me as I landed. He smiled so genuinely, looking at me like I'm the most valuable on Earth I couldn't help just do the same. It is awesome to be part of this awesome guy's group and I feel honoured to be his girlfriend.

His sight was no longer on me, I remembered we are not alone. When I realized what situation I'm currently in. The type of "look dad, I have a gf"!

My cheeks heated up I turned to Gobber who laughed at my awkwardness, and patted Hiccup's back.

*Gobber* - I'm glad you found your place. I'm sorry for you had to run away for that.

*Hiccup* - Don't be. This was one of my best ideas...

With a knowing look he held his enormous hand on his shoulder, before excusing himself, leaving us alone.

After long moments I broke the silence.

- I don't know what to do with my parents.

*Hiccup* - Me neither.

Oh yeah. I have no idea what Stoick will say. After all those years mourning his son... just to learn that he is totally fine, moreover he leads the "enemy's" legions, the dragons.

- I'm glad you have Gobber.

*Hiccup* - Me too. How do your family do?

I couldn't say a word. I grabbed his hand to hold tightly, and he took it as an answer. He gave me a comforting hug, whispering something about we will figure it out.

I let a single tear drop, that he kissed down.

Gem's POV

I let my leaders to have their moment, they have Toothless if something would happen.

So I followed the blacksmith.

Heading straight to the main hall, which was annoyingly noisy he entered but failed to stay unnoticed. All eyes turned to him.

Some confused, some angry, some hopeful.

I slipped in, and sat down on a higher beam to have the best look at everything.

*Gobber* - What did I miss so far?

Suddenly the place became a beehive I could only understand bits of words here and there. The chief, over shouting everyone, made deadly silence.

*Stoick* - Not much. Everyone scared or confused. No remarkable solution so far.

*Spitelout* - We can still fight with them! He is just a vulnerable kid, take the alpha and the rest will be headless without them!

I huffed, he can't mean it, he is not that stupid... is he? Why does the whole room erupted in agreeing shouts?!

*Gobber* - Of course a little kiddo, he just took out a mountain sized dragon.

Wow. The guy of truth. The silence meant they are not as much of an idiots as I thought.

*Stoick* - True.

*Gobber* - We are not planning to execute the original plan, are we?

*Spitelout* - Why not?

*Gobber* - The heir is back.

*Spitelout* - On the side of the dragons!

*Gobber* - Or just got an army against whatever threat we are facing.

*Spitelout* - A dragon... army...?

Gobber shrugged and walked in with his usual difficulties in his walk, gaining everyone's sympathy and trust towards the warrior.

*Stoick* - I need to investigate why Gothi is taking his side, the meeting is dismissed! After lunch we continue from here!

The crowd rumbled disappointed, but this confusing situation at least prevented further arguments for now. When only the two of them remained, Night's father shot a defeated look.

*Stoick* - What do I do?

He asked before collapsing to a chair, hands hiding his face.

*Gobber* - Since he is your son, the village should cheer for the heir.

*Stoick* - We both know it's not that easy.

*Gobber* - He gained experience in leading, and better than Snotlout ever be.

*Stoick* - At this point I don't care such....

*Gobber* - Than?

*Stoick* - Gobber... I tried to kill him. Not once! How should have known?!

*Gobber* - ...

*Stoick* - I did not even recognize him! My own son!

*Gobber* - Well... nobody did expect Astrid.

*Stoick* - How did she do that?

*Gobber* - If I have to guess she seen more and either someone told her or she figured it out.

*Stoick* - I see...

*Gobber* - She was secretive about the island case and the rest was awfully quiet. I could even imagine her hiding Hiccup at the attack.

*Stoick* - Since when she leans towards being a traitor?

*Gobber* - Either she knew or the dragons made her. A terrible terror could lead us by our noses I can only imagine the sneaky nightfury.

*Stoick* - I see...

*Gobber* - I think you should talk to him.

*Stoick* - I must... the village is...

*Gobber* - No, it's not about the village. You should talk as a father and son. You two have to figure it out, for yourselves and for your people. We can't do much until than.

*Stoick* - How can I face him... after those...?

*Gobber* - You must... so buckle your pants and find him.

I watched them go, before sneaking out still unnoticed. I chirped happily enjoying the moment. I watched the chief heading to the healer's hut alongside with the blacksmith. I, feeling satisfied with my work, headed to the (un)official feeding station, getting my deserved meal.

(A/N I'm not so satisfied with this chapter but here you go. Is it okay if the story slows down to show how they are cooping with this new situation?)
