Chapter 5: 3 Weeks Later

(Howdy Y'all, its been a while, just been busy with stuff, the chapters should be coming out a bit more often then before)

(This is now the week of the raid, next chapter will be starting the First Movie, the wedding and shooting down Toothless will be in the next few chapters, and compared to the movie, I set the Wedding to happen before Toothless is shot down, it will happen the 5th day of being married)

Hiccup was pacing in his Workplace in the back of his office, thinking up the next dragon killing machine, it was already getting dark, he wanted to work on the Mutilator, or should he make the netapult? Or something new?

"Hiccup?" got said Viking out of his mind, turning around he sees Gobber and Astrid behind him with concerned expressions on their faces.

"Hi Astrid, Gobber, what brings you here at this hour? Your supposed to be home, the Wedding is in a week, and travel preparations start tomorrow." Hiccup was looking excited for the Wedding, but less than excited for the search to Helheim's Gate, It meant that his Father and Astrid's parents would be leaving, meaning that anyone who ever cared for him other than Gobber would be leaving, at least Astrid was still there to be with Hiccup, it would be a ray of light in the dark cloud of life.

"Well, yes, but you need to get your sleep Hiccup, it's not good to fall asleep during your weeding, my cousin did that, the wedding didn't go so well after he fell into the bowl of mead, he was drunk for the rest of the week." Gobber stated in his normal Scottish Accent, Hiccup, Astrid, and Gobber all chucked at that memory.

"That was an interesting Wedding, Dad collapsed from laughter so many times that week." Astrid commented trying, and failing, to keep a straight face. The imagination did a good job seeing Hiccup as a drunk Viking inventing 100 machines an hour, all of them doing Thor knows what. Then again, Hiccup was never drunk, so chances are nothing would happen.

"Yea, I hope I don't get drunk that night, that would be a nightmare for me in the morning, anyway, I'll go to bed once I get the final details on this." Astrid didn't know what Hiccup was talking about, but Gobber knew full on what Hiccup was making, unlike most Vikings who have the Village Blacksmith make the ring, Morning Gift, and the Normal Weapons at a Viking Wedding, Hiccup, being a very well trained Blacksmith Apprentice, made everything, from a New Hammer, to the Sword, he also made a couple new axes and Maces as a Dowry, all fitted with beautiful Celtic and Nordic Knots, and even a couple nice words on the Axe, as usual, he put his initial on the bottom of the wooden handle, every weapon or object he made would have HHHIII. Hiccup knew how to make fine weapons and beautiful rings, because he was the one who would often make them, during the raids Gobber would normally run the counter, while Hiccup would make or repair most of the weapons, Gobber even saw Hiccup as a fellow blacksmith sometimes, but when looking at Hiccup, he is also a Goldsmith, Tinsmith, Coppersmith, Brownsmith, Locksmith, and so much more. Of course, most of the village would laugh at the idea that Hiccup could smith anything, especially his cousin, only Astrid, her parents, Fishlegs, his parents, Gobber, Stoick, Bucket, and Mulch would not laugh about Hiccup's talents as a smith. Stoick's Hammer and Axe were both made by his son, they were gifts for his 40th and 43rd birthdays. Many of Gobber's Metal Hand Attachments were made by Hiccup, other than his old axe, his hook, and his metal brush, those were made by Gobber. Fishleg's dagger and Helmet were made by Hiccup, and Fishlegs knew it. Unknown to Astrid, Hiccup had made her axe when they were 10, and the Shoulder Guards that she always worn, were also made by Hiccup, of course neither of them realized it, thanks to it not meant for any specific person.

"What are you working on Hiccup", Astrid asked in her interrogation voice, she wanted to know what Hiccup was making, whether it be a gift for his father, or enough Maces to supply the Island of Berk 15 times over.

Hiccup didn't want to spoil that he was making a Double Axe for Astrid, which was a beautiful double axe which folds in the middle to let it be held easier, the blade made out of a new metal that he found while walking in the forest, it was stronger than steel, but lighter, he didn't know what the metal is, or where it is from, but it made a nice Axe. He found enough to make the axe and make three daggers, one for him, one for his dad, and one for Gobber.

"Uh Who Me? Just making a few axes for the village. Dragon season is coming in a few weeks." Astrid did not buy this.

"Hiccup… what are you making" Astrid said in a more serious voice, she was going to find out what Hiccup was hiding.

"A gift for you, now can we please not talk about this" Hiccup said way to fast. Gobber just chucked knowing that Hiccup could only be understood by a few people when he talked that fast, Astrid being one of them. Astrid's mind was just thinking about what Hiccup would end up making for the wedding, he knew she wanted something practical over something beautiful or expensive, she wasn't that type of girl… or woman… who wanted something expensive or beautiful, she doesn't want to show off to other girls on the island, it just wasn't her.

"What was that son?" Gobber also notices how Stoick can't understand him like that. Infact, most people can't. Gobber and Astrid could understand it but not Stoick, Gothi could but not Mildew (then again, he used to, back when Old Wrinkly, Valka's Father, was alive and well). Fishlegs can understand but not Snotlout. Ruffnut and Tuffnut can understand, but they can understand strange things, I mean… if they look at a circle on a paper, they think it's a picture of mom. Dagur, heir to the Beserker Tribe, can also understand Hiccup, but only to some extent, he does care for the Apprentice, but he has a hard time showing it. Gobber was taken out of his thoughts by the group of teens, led by Snotlout, heading to the Forge that is already filled with Hiccup, Astrid, Stoick, Gobber, and a lot of stuff for the wedding.

Speaking of the teens, things have changed between all the teens. Snotlout is even more boastful, and seeing that he can't go after Astrid, he goes after Ruffnut, who along with his brother, is getting tired of it. The Twins themselves have gotten more elaborate with their pranks, it used to be basic things like falling paint buckets or a loosened axe blade, now they are doing more elaborate pranks, with their discovery of combustion properties and gears, they have already made a trap that got Snotlout, Spitelout, and Gobber into a net trap, it took 4 hours to get out, was it mentioned that they discovered steel rope. Fishlegs now openly talks with Hiccup and Astrid about Dragons, tools, weapons, inventions, and many things. The trio of Friends are not often seen apart, and Fishlegs is not with Snotlout, Ruffnut, and Tuffnut as often. That's another thing, both Hiccup and Snotlout aren't working together, things might become harder in Dragon Training, for the Zippleback it will be in two groups of three.

The Strangest relation that has changed has to be of heir's from outside the tribe, most notably Thuggery, Camicazi, and Dagger. Thanks to the Thing happening a week ago, which had Hiccup, Astrid, Snotlout, Gobber, and Stoick there, the other tribes, and most importantly, the other Heir's, found out. Thuggery was proud of Hiccup for not only getting someone to care for him, but also that he finally stood up to Snotlout the Brainless Lout, Camicazi and Astrid never really got along well, but Hiccup managed to get both of them to make up and become friends, and when Snotlout (who tried to get other tribes to declare Snotlout the "King of the Wilderwest") tried to woo Cami… let's just say Gothi was not completely confident that Snotlout would be able to use his arm for a few months. Dagger had a strange response. He was happy for Hiccup to finally get the girl he has wanted after so many years. But he said it in ways that will make anyone wonder if he is crazy, insane, or bizarre.

Gobber was brought out of his memories of the Thing, when he saw the twins and Snotlout on their way to the shop.

"Gobber I need my sword sharpened", Snotlout said in an arrogant way, wait that's his normal voice, "To perfection like last week".

Gobber, knowing that Hiccup sharpened Snotlout's sword last week, did the most sensible thing, "Alright, Hiccup, can ye sharpen yer cousin's sword quickly?"

"Wait a minute Gobber, I asked you to sharpen my Sword like you did last week, why ask the fishbone?" Snotlout said in a nervous tone, he still denied that Hiccup was a competent blacksmith, he wasn't good at anything.

"Ye, ye did ask, an I didn't sharpen yer sword last week, 'Iccup did, he sharpens most of the weapons that go through here." Gobber said matter-o-factly, knowing that Snotlout would just laugh in 5… 4… 3…

"HAHAHAHA, HICCUP," Snotlout struggles to say while laughing and catching his breath, much like the twins, "Hiccup can't be a better blacksmith than me, I'm better than Hiccup at everything, even getting the girls." Everyone in the Blacksmith and around him look at Snotlout like he said something that made no sense, I mean, if that were the case, would Astrid be fine with the Marriage?

"Never Mind Gobber, I'll do it myself later." Snotlout said in a smug way. According to Snotlout's Logic; 'If Hiccup can do it, I can Do it Better' (AN: Snotlout's Law of Hiccup will come up again…)

"Good luck Snotlout." Gobber said in a very sarcastic tone of voice, being around Hiccup gives you a great sense of Sarcasm.

"Thank you Gobber." Snotlout said smugly, not catching onto the sarcasm just dripping from Gobber's voice, or the looks of amusement on Astrid's, Gobber's, Hiccup's, Stoick's, or Tuffnut's face. Tuffnut just wanted to see Snotlout hurt himself make something.

"I'll do so much better than you, I'll become the islands blacksmith, because they will be crying to have a Snotlout Made Weapon! Cause I'm the Snotman, the best at everything", Snotlout said, with way too much confidence. This just left to tons of laughter from everyone, other than Hiccup and Astrid, who just responded sarcastically.

"I'm sure you're going to do well Snotlout." Hiccup said in him most sarcastic voice, which Snotlout didn't catch

"Did he ever hear of being Smart, if he did, he doesn't show it." Astrid said in her most 'You're a muttonhead voice.'

"Yes, I see you noticed how smart I am, if only you would see it Ruffnut" Snotlout the Idiot (as it is now deemed by not only Astrid, but Gobber, Hiccup, Stoick, and Ruffnut) said.

"Oi just get out of here Snotlout, yer sword will be done when we get a chance." Said an understandable annoyed Gobber. Everyone else in the Forge felt pity that Gobber will have to teach Snotlout during Dragon Training.

"Fine, but this is the last time I ever come here, pff, Hiccup blacksmithing, I wouldn't trust him within a mile of a scrap of metal." Said the Braindead Idiot known as Snotlout.

Hiccup, knowing that Snotlout will be back here eventually, just shrugged and continued his work on weapons, and the equipment needed for the Weeding, which at this point, there was pretty much nothing left, he already made all the weapons, and some extras, the ring that Hiccup had hand made out of that strange metal he discovered before, and plated with Gold and Silver was done, and the axe he was making for Astrid was almost done, just needed some final inscriptions, polishing, and then it would be done.

After Snotlout had attacked Hiccup and Astrid that day, Stoick saw some new lights in Hiccup, for one thing, he couldn't help but notice that he was so much like his mother, Valka, sadly they will never meet, but he couldn't help but notice, they both had the same build, same friendliness, and they both were not people to mess with if you got them angry, which was very uncommon. Hiccup even has something against killing dragons, which, for an Island that loved to kill dragons, was strange, but, it was did turn some gears in the Old Chief's head, why would both Valka and Hiccup think that? Is there something behind it? Probably not, but it is a interesting though, can you imagine if we were to make peace with them, what would be next, Riding them? He would eat a helmet if that were the case.
