Guest: Well...I can't keep any promises ;)

(By the way, I am very terribly sorry for not updating in a while, family problems)

(Also, this chapter idea was by KeniaLara - part of it - that's her Wattpad name...not sure on her Fanfiction name)

Today, Hiccup's going to try and see if his powers work on the outside world. And besides, he can't do it at his house since Gobber and Phlegma won't be out for the day.

Hiccup walked down the stairs in his house with his backpack straps on his shoulders.

"I'm going out," said Hiccup when he walked by Phlegma and Gobber, who were sitting on the kitchen table.

"Where're ya going?" asked Gobber, setting down his cup of coffee.

Hiccup stopped and turned around to look at his guardians. "Uh...I'm going out."

Phlegma smiled and glanced at Gobber. "You finally taking my advice about going outside more?"

Hiccup chuckled, a bit nervously, and nodded. "Yeah... I thought about it and decided 'Hey! Why don't I just go out and take in some fresh air'." Hiccup scratched the back of his neck and slowly moved toward the door.

"Alright." Phlegma waved Hiccup off. "We'll see you when you get back. Don't be long."

Hiccup laughed a little and nodded. "Alright, well...bye." He hastily grabbed the doorknob and threw the door open, closing it right after.

"Sheesh, isn't he in a rush," Gobber muttered, chuckling and taking one more sip from his cup and standing up. "I'm gonna go use the restroom. You don't know what's going on in here," Gobber said, laughing and patting his stomach.

Phlegma twisted her lips and rolled her eyes, looking away. "I don't need to know all that."

Gobber shook his head, the smile still on his lips. "Too late."

"Is there any place that's not occupied?" Hiccup said to himself. He sighed and looked around the town, people crowded it, like always, and started heading to the direction of the park.

While he was walking, his phone started to ring so he reached into his jeans' pocket and slid it out, sliding the screen to the right and answering the call, he didn't actually check who the caller was. "Hello?"

"Hey, Hiccup."

Hiccup abruptly stopped in front of a park bench. "Astrid?"

"Yep, that's me." Astrid chuckled on the other line.

Hiccup chuckled a little as well and sat down on the bench, letting his backpack rest beside him. "Why'd you call?"

"Oh...uh...I just wanted to ask you something..." Astrid sounded a little nervous.

"Okay then, what is it?" Hiccup stretched his arm out and rested it on the back of the bench.

"Uh..."

"Astrid, you're hesitating, why?" Hiccup furrowed his brow. He doesn't know much about Astrid - okay, maybe he does but he doesn't want to sound like a creep - but he knows what hesitation sounds like.

"Okay, fine. Do you want to go to Starbucks with me today at 5? You don't have to come if you don't want to, or if you're busy; that'd be totally understandable. I just don't wanna go alone."

Hiccup heard and felt his heartbeat in his ears. He's never been invited to anything, especially by a girl, so he doesn't know what to do. "Uh...I'm-I'm not busy, nor do I not want to reject your offer, so I guess I'll go."

"Really?!" Astrid realized how enthusiastic she sounded so she coughed a little and said, "Oh, I mean, okay. That's great, then I'll see there, I guess."

Hiccup chuckled and scratched the back of his neck, a boyish smile on his lips. "Alright, cool...uh...is that all...or..."

"Oh...oh! Uh...yeah, I'm pretty sure that's it."

Hiccup laughed and grew a grin. "Okay, I'll...uh...see you there. Bye."

"Bye."

Hiccup waited for Astrid to end the call before removing his phone from his ear and shoving it back into his pocket. He sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "Oh my gods..."

Hiccup does want to go with Astrid, but he just doesn't know...how. He's not sure on what to do, like he presumed.

He shook his head, getting rid of his thoughts, and brought his backpack to his lap, unzipping it and shuffling through it with both of his hands.

He sighed when he got what he needed and took it out, holding the paper's edges with both of his hands.

MEMBERS NEEDED: THE NEW AND RECENT ROBOTICS TEAM, System Overloaded, IS IN NEED OF NEW MEMBERS! IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN JOINING THE TEAM/CLUB, CALL THE NUMBER PROVIDED BELOW OR TAKE A VISIT AT THE PLACE Robotics Institute of Berk! THE ADDRESS IS ALSO LISTED BELOW!

JOIN IF YOU'LL LIKE! THE CREATIVITY IS YOURS!

Hiccup sighed again and folded the paper up before sliding it into his backpack; he's gonna go check that place out once he's done with his meetup with Astrid.

"Hello Astrid." Hiccup smiled at Astrid, who was dressed in normal attire, same with him; he was earlier debating on what to wear so he just went with his normal clothes, which were green jeans with a red shirt with black short-sleeves and red, old Vans.

Astrid smiled back and nodded in greeting. "Hello to you too, Hiccup." She was wearing a black skirt with long boots with the laces messily tied, she was also wearing a random shirt with a coat on.

They were both just standing in front of the entrance for Starbucks beside a table that's outside.

"So...should we go in or..." Hiccup tried to break the awkward atmosphere by looking away and pointing to the entrance.

"Oh, yeah, sure." Astrid shook her head, subtly, and before she went to open the door herself, Hiccup quickly stepped forward and opened it for her, gesturing her to enter first with a smile. Astrid gave him a smile and said, "Thank you," before entering the door.

Hiccup smiled to himself this time and let out a breath, entering the cafe and having the door close with a ding.

"So..." Hiccup gave out an uneven cough and took a sip of his S'Mores Latte, which was just as good as everyone said, while Astrid stared at her Double Chocolaty Chip Frappuccino.

"Uh...how's school?" Astrid took a sip out of her cup.

Hiccup nodded while saying, "Good, good." He took another sip.

Well, isn't this awkward, Hiccup and Astrid both thought.

"H-how's school for you?" Hiccup sheepishly glanced up at her.

"Um...it's good. Just lonely, like always." Astrid shrugged a shoulder and pursed her lips, still not looking up.

"Oh..."

"Well, besides when you're with me. It's not so lonely when you're there."

"Oh." Hiccup felt a little red spread onto his face and chuckled a little, crookedly smiling. "I... Thanks, I guess."

Astrid finally looked up from the table and rose an eyebrow, laughing a little. "Why're you thanking me?"

Hiccup shrugged, pursing his lips and raising his eyebrows, eyes wide. "No one's ever said that."

Astrid smiled and her eyes had a concerned gaze in them. "How come?"

Hiccup shrugged again, relaxing his features and making his lips a thin line. "Because. I was always the loser at school so that's more of a reason why..."

Astrid frowned and reached out her hand, gently placing it atop Hiccup's, which was resting on the table while the other was on his lap. She gave him a sad, yet genuine, smile. "That's okay. I'm here for you."

Hiccup smiled and felt his whole being heat up when Astrid's hand fell atop his. "Thanks, Astrid."

Astrid, this time, just smiled a genuine smile and gave his hand a squeeze before removing hers from his and folding her hands together on the table. "Don't thank me. There's nothing to thank me for, just being honest."

Hiccup broadly smiled and bent his neck to capture his straw in between his lips and take a sip from his drink. "Well," he said after he swallowed his beverage, "I thank you again for being an honest human being while others say it for sympathy."

Astrid quietly chuckled and smiled at him. "Well, I'm not saying it for sympathy so maybe you did have a reason to thank me; do people really say that for sympathy though?"

Hiccup shrugged and looked into her eyes. "So far, yes. But no one's actually talked to me this much, besides you obviously, so I couldn't really tell."

Astrid looked back into his eyes and tilted her head to one side. "But...if you can't really tell...what makes you think I'm actually being honest? I am, but just asking."

Hiccup blushed and bit his lower lip, looking down at his hands. "Uh...well...no one would hold my hand when they speak to me and since you did it...it actually had me think you're being honest. And I also know that you're an honest person and is very loyal so..."

Astrid half-smiled and giggled. "Wow. That's actually...very true."

Hiccup gave Astrid a toothy smile and tilted his own head to the side. "That's...actually the first time I've heard you giggle..."

Astrid laughed. "This is actually the first time I've said and/or heard the word 'actually' a lot."

Hiccup thought before breaking into a fit of laughter. "Me too."

"Well..." Astrid looked out the glass door behind Hiccup and visibly sighed. "It's getting a little late, do you think we should start parting ways and head home or something?"

Hiccup frowned in question and twisted his body to be able to look out the door, and sure enough it was getting a little gloomy. He sighed as well and turned back around to face his friend. "You're probably right." As he said that, he grunted and pushed his chair back while standing up and walking over to the trash bin to drop his almost-finished drink in it.

"Wait, let me." Hiccup reached out and took Astrid's drink from her hands and threw it in the trash himself.

Astrid smiled at him. "You didn't have to do that...but it already happened so thanks."

Hiccup chuckled and shrugged while pushing the door open for Astrid so she can exit. "Don't mention it."

Astrid sighed in the crisp aura and turned to Hiccup. "I had fun... Even though we only spoke a little and drank."

Hiccup chuckled and walked in front of her, at least a couple feet away. "I did too..."

Astrid softly smiled and stepped forward to give him a playful punch to the shoulder. "I like having conversations without you stuttering all the time; it feels nice."

Hiccup absently rubbed his shoulder and smiled at her, for like the thousandth time that day. "Me too."

Astrid smiled back, for like the thousandth as well, and quickly leaned forward to peck his cheek, but it was very close to the corner of his lips. "That's for...not rejecting my invitation and coming with me." She shyly looked down and felt a small and faint blush form on her face. "Um...I-I'll see you tomorrow." Astrid then turned and waved to Hiccup while she walked to the direction of her house.

Hiccup placed his hand on his cheek and felt a blush form as well, he certainly felt a spark ignite on the area Astrid placed her lips on. He was about to ask Astrid if he can walk her home but she was already far away and his mouth didn't want to open, so instead he sighed and started to walk to the direction where the Robotics place is at. He managed to mesmerize the location before coming to Starbucks to meet Astrid so that he doesn't seem like one of those kids who brings their backpack everywhere they go.

Hiccup mentally rose an eyebrow and looked down. Why had Astrid kissed him on the cheek twice? And why was the second one basically the corner of his lips. He sighed again and let his shoulders sag as he shoved his hands inside his jeans' pocket. No one would even decently speak to him or come more than 2 feet close to him, unless it had to do with people asking for him to do their homework or just straight up beat him up. Yet, Astrid wasn't hesitant to do any of that, especially kiss his cheek more than once or grab his hand.

He shook his head and let out one more sigh of the afternoon before looking up. He'll figure all of that later, even though he wants to know now, but right now he has to go take a visit to that place.

"Hello, welcome to the Robotics Institute of Berk. Do you need any help?"

Hiccup kindly smiled at the guy who was probably a worker and shrugged. "Kinda, I guess. I just came here to check out the place, y'know? If that's even okay.."

The man smiled at him and nodded. "Sure. Follow my footsteps."

Hiccup did what the guy said and started to follow him around the building.

"And this here is the machinery a professional made when she used to be a member in this institute." The guy, who was introduced as Jack, walked around the machine before stopping behind it, across from Hiccup with the built machine in between them.

"It looks amazing..." Hiccup said in awe, circling it while Jack chuckled and placed his hands behind his back.

He gestured to the invention with his hand before it disappeared behind him again. "Wanna know what it is?"

Hiccup eagerly nodded like a child wanting candy and glued his eyes to the object in front of him.

Jack grinned and walked closer to it with his hands still behind his back, so he looked like a soldier. "Alright. So, this trigger right here" - Jack pointed to a little trigger that's on the base of the object and pressed it right after, having it turn on and hover in the air a little with a bead of light under it - "turns on the invention, as you can see, and the machine will hover a little and you put on this" - Jack grabbed a headband from the ground beside the platform and it had a sensor in the middle - "headband and you can imagine on how you want it to...like...move. Y'know?" Jack chuckled and handed the headband over to Hiccup. "Try it."

Hiccup nodded and shrugged, trying not to look too enthusiastic in front of Jack and the other people scattered about the whole place. "Sure." He extended his arm and gently grabbed the band with both of his hands because he's afraid he might break it by having it fall to the ground and break apart. "So...do I just..." Hiccup skeptically ghosted the headband atop his head.

"Yeah. Just- yeah, like that." Jack helped Hiccup strap it on and stepped back when it was securely on his head. "Alright, now. Just think on what or how you want it move and it just does it."

Hiccup nodded in understanding and closed his eyes, visualizing on how he wants the machine to fly.

He took a deep breath before exhaling through his nostrils and opening his eyes, slowly, and seeing the machine hover a little higher and start going to the right a little.

Jack smugly grinned and crossed his arms, watching the happy teen enjoy himself.

"Wo- this is so cool!" Hiccup chuckled in disbelief and had the machine land softly on the platform of the stand.

Jack smirked and unstrapped the headband from Hiccup's head before positioning the device and headband back in its place. "Like it?"

Hiccup grinned broadly and shook his head. "Like it? Are you kidding? That was amazing! I loved it!" He chuckled once more in a bliss and looked to Jack. "Do you guys have a name for it?"

Jacks shrugged a shoulder, crossing his arms again. "We call it a Hovercraft."

Hiccup tilted his head. "Isn't that already a thing?"

Jack chuckled. "Yeah. But it was the only thing we could come up with."

Hiccup made an 'ah' sound and scanned the Hovercraft with his eyes before completely freezing and widening his eyes. "I have an idea," Hiccup mumbled to himself.

"What was that?" Jack rose an eyebrow.

Hiccup looked to Jack in joy. "I-I have an idea for something that I can make. I'm a bit of an inventor myself. But it's only for necessary purposes."

Jack nodded and said, "Oh. Well...I gotta go. I think you should too, it's already dark out so I suggest you go home safely."

Hiccup smiled at Jack before giving him a handshake and waving to him goodbye while walking, but partly running, out of the building.

He's got an idea. And he's pretty sure that's what's been missing from his powers. He's not sure, but he knows it's gonna complete it.

Hey guys! Sorry for my long, long absence! I really am sorry.

I started this chapter, like, 2-3 weeks ago but I never got to finishing it because of things happening. But, thank you guys for 107 followers and 76 favorites! I never knew I'd get this far in only 7, now 8, chapters.

Thanks. It actually brightens my day when I see the progress I'm getting on how many people read these heaps of trash I create...in my opinion it's trash but I actually enjoy doing it so...

Alright, I gotta go shower. School's almost over for me in a week or two and I'm almost going to 7th grade! I'm actually pretty excited. I've never been this excited about school.

Alright, I'm going now.

Sayonara guys!
