Six Months after RBC 2...

Youtube - Heather AKA Windshear's Palace Heather - "LIVESTREAM: The Grand Opening!"

"Hi guys! Heather here! I'm here with my Head Chef, Eret, my brother Dagur and sister-in-law Mala... and filming this right now is the love of my life and my own fiancée, Camicazi... say hi, Cami!"

"Hi, Cami!" Cami answered back as she kept holding the camera.

Heather and the others laughed, before she continued with "so... here we are, guys... the grand opening... a whole year in the making! I'd like to thank everyone here for standing by me all this time... same goes for Astrid Hofferson, Hiccup Haddock, everyone who donated on Indiegogo... and obviously I gotta thank Ruffnut and Tuffnut Thorston for selling me their building, ha ha!"

"You deserve this, sweetheart!" Cami shouted as everyone nodded and muttered in agreement. Eret passed Heather a pair of scissors and led her over to the red ribbon that was wrapped over the door to the building. Heather sighed heavily, struggling to process the fact that her dream was seconds away from being a reality.

"Well, without further ado... as the owner... I declare Windshear's Palace... open!"

The Apartment

"BLERGH! ACH! URGH! BLEK!"

"Ugh... Gods..." Hiccup groaned as he kept standing outside the bathroom while Astrid vomited violently. "Astrid... honey, you okay in there?"

"I'm fucking fine, Hiccup! Uh-oh... BLERGH!"

"Uh-huh... if you say so, milady..." Hiccup snarked, still stroking Toothless to try and distract himself from what he was hearing. Astrid came out about ten minutes later, using a towel to clean her lips as she lay next to Hiccup groaning on the bed.

"So... what was all that about?" he asked, Astrid sighing as she said "just food poisoning... I guess..."

"You want me to pour you some whisky? That usually fixes this for you..."

"Gods, no... the last thing I need when I feel this shitty is alcohol..." Astrid groaned as she lay her head back.

Windshear's Palace - One Week Later

"Uh... Heather... there's trouble here..." Cami said as she looked out the window, taking Heather's attention away from the pizza she was making.

"Wait, what?!" Heather poked her head out the window, going wide-eyed as she saw the twins sitting about a hundred yards away from the restaurant, waving awkwardly at her. "Oh my Gods...what the fuck do you guys want?!"

"That food looks really nice, Heather!" Ruffnut shouted through the megaphone she was holding. "Can we have a sample?"

"What? No!" Heather shouted back. She was pissed off to see Ruffnut and Tuffnut there, but there was at least a hint of a laugh in her tone.

"Uh... okay..." Ruffnut responded. She stood there still, before Tuffnut took the megaphone off his sister and said "so... are you guys thinking of dropping that restraining order yet?"

"NO!" Heather snapped again, now completely serious and pissed as she shut the window so she couldn't hear them anymore.

Spitelout's Morning Of Spite - BBS (Berk Broadcasting System)

"Good morning, fellow spiteful fellows. Welcome to the Thursday Breakfast edition of Spitelout's Morning Of Spite. It's a tremendous honour to be joined once again by the best chef in the Archipelago, and the host of Kitchen Flightmares... Astrid Hofferson!"

"It's great to be here again..." Astrid said as she came into the studio and sat on the couch to much applause from the audience.

"And joining her on the guest seat this morning... some of you may remember him from Season 1 of Flightmares as the son of the owner of Stoick's Place, but he'll be going down in history for how he stood up to the now-dreaded Thorston twins... ladies and gentlemen, Miss Hofferson's fiance, Hiccup Haddock!"

The applause was just as loud, if not louder than Astrid's was as Hiccup shyly and awkwardly made his way over to the couch. "Uh... hi, hello... hey, it's uh... it's nice to be here..." he said as he sat next to Astrid, who held his hand tightly as he smiled at her.

"Y'know, you look quite different with a beard, Hiccup..." Spitelout said as many of the women in the audience cried out and Astrid laughed as she held Hiccup's hand tighter. Hiccup blushed slightly, saying "yeah, I guess so... y'know, I... I just thought I'd try something new..."

"Oh aye... excellent. So anyway, how's the leg been, lad?" Spitelout snarked, before showing a clip of the footage. Hiccup felt Astrid's grip on his hand tighten as the footage showed his leg being broken, Hiccup himself cringing a bit since he'd never seen this footage for himself before. When the clip finished, he said "well, I can walk, so I'm fine... and obviously, without the twins running that place anymore, I feel I'm in a much better place emotionally too... Astrid being the main reason..."

"Aww..." Spitelout and the audience members all said in-sync as Astrid pecked Hiccup lightly on the cheek. Spitelout then continued with "so, Astrid... I suppose, with that episode being the other most watched programme you've ever done... you and Hiccup are gonna be busy on Flightmares together for the next few weeks, eh?"

"Well, not exactly..."

"What?" Hiccup and Spitelout said together as a few gasps were heard in the audience. Hiccup looked at her in concern and curiosity, saying "Astrid...?"

"Well... I was saving this announcement for later, but I think it's time since you're here, babe..."

"Me?... What, wh... what for? Astrid, what is it?"

"Well... I talked to my agent the other day, and for the next year or so, I'm uh... I'm gonna be taking a break from my shows..."

"Oh... and why's that, then?" Spitelout asked, Hiccup becoming even more curious as he said "yeah, Astrid... why?"

"Well... Hiccup, um... do... ugh... do you remember that dream you told me about?"
