Chapter1.

It was a bright summer's day, the teens of berk were free for the season, since most people didn't work for the only four months of summer.

"So, what should we do today?" asked Astrid.

"ooh, ooh I know, we should have a dare war," suggested Snotlout.

"that's a good idea, especially cause of Summer break," said hiccup. And the other's all agreed.

"since I suggested it I'm going first, oh and standard rules apply a.k.a no back out/ fail 3 times and your out, and no dare backs," said Snotlout.

"hmmm, let me see," he said, eyes finally resting on hiccup, "I dare you to wear nothing but a mini-skirt, bra, make-up, heels and wig, and do the Macarena for a whole hour, in the town square."

Hiccup gulped. An hour later he stood in the town square, doing the Macarena, wearing a bra(stuffed by Snotlout), a mini-skirt and a wig. There were wolf whistles all around, as the hour was nearly up hiccup's father marched over to him, grabbed the bra's string in one finger, and marching him home, Gobber standing behind, shaking his head and laughing.

The six of them all met for dinner in the great hall.

"so, I saw your father drag you off, what happened?" asked Astrid.

"well, he yelled, but I told him for lunch I ate a few rotten fish heads, and he thought that was the problem," said hiccup, "speaking of which, I dare Ruffnut to do this (handing over a sheet) and whispering her dare."

"WHAT!?," she exclaimed.

"well, you could always back out, meaning you forfeit the round.

"fine," she grunted, making a mental note to get revenge on hiccup, and got up on the table, held her hand up and announced. "This is a song I wrote, and I would like to share it with you," she cleared her throat and sang

"bless this sweet haven

that we shall soon call home

birds in the air singing

sweet love songs for us

my lover and I

on our honeymoon

together we'll fly

like dragon's in the sky

forever, together

your icy eyes

pierce their way

in to my heart

cause together, forever

your beautiful smile

makes me wanna

walk a mile

together forever

I will always love you

Forever your's

Mil-dew-ew-ew.

Mildew I love you, will you marry m-," she was interrupted by the old man screaming as he ran out the door with fungus as fast as his legs could carry him. The teens, bursting out in fits of laughter. Ruffnut thinking curses, why did hiccup have to be part of this, everyone knows he's the smartest,(getting a little side-tracked) nicest, cutest, funniest guy on the island, Astrid you truly scored big.

As soon as it was over Ruffnut's parents started walking over towards the table, no doubt to drag home their daughter for her moment of insanity, so she quickly turned to Tuffnut and whispered something, making him turn pale. The dare had been to put a hungry squirrel down chief Stoick the Vast's pants.

The next day he woke up early in the

Morning and when they went to their table, he made barf gas the table they were passing, the chief's table, he quickly slipped the squirrel down the chiefs pants. He then made his way to the teens' table.

"umm, what was with barf's gas?" asked Ruffnut.

"uh, duh, I just completed your dare," said Tuffnut smugly.

Gasps of no way, and how? Erupted from the table, till Tuffnut raised his hand, and the chief's screaming was heard throughout the hall, muffled, of course by the teen's laughter. All around the table he kept getting fist pump's and high fives, as well as pat's on the back.

"So, what's your dare Tuffnut," asked Hiccup.

Tuffnut leaned over to Astrid and whispered something in her ear, she turned pale and almost fainted.

After everyone went to sleep Astrid grabbed some buckets of paint and some rope. She then snuck over to hiccup's house. He was asleep, his auburn hair lying in its daytime style, eyelids beautifully closed and long beautiful eyelashes lying close together. Man he looks so cute, I wish I could just rest my head on his chest for a few- focus Astrid focus, she thought, and dragged him out, toothless woke up, but went back to sleep when he realized it was just Astrid. She dragged him to the forge, took off his shirt, and tied his hands behind his head, and to the pole outside. She then tied his legs together thinking wow he's a sound sleeper, then got to work painting him all over.

The next day he woke up to see the whole town gathered around him laughing, he was completely light blue, his hair was yellow and his pants were pink, across his chest, painted in red, were the words I'm sexy and I know it.

Astrid! Was his first thought oh I am sooo getting back at her. Everyone was sooo confused, except the teens of course, who were just rolling on the floor laughing with TOOTHLESS!?, suddenly Stoick and Gobber made their way up to the front, both laughing.

"well, you look ok, but don't you think sexy is pushing it a bit," said a chuckling Stoick.

Astrid walked over with a dagger and cut him free.

"I can't believe you would do this," he said.

"Sorry, but I couldn't lose my place in the competition, besides it could've been worse,"

"How?"

"the dare could've been to tie you to the pole naked,"

"And you would've done that?"

"no!, but someone else who was dared might"

hiccup, looked upset.

"don't look so sad, its my turn next and you won't believe what I'm daring Ruffnut to do," and she whispered her plan to him, he grinned, evilly.

They met the others in the great hall for breakfast.

"ok I dare Ruffnut," said Astrid.

She then whispered a dare to Ruffnut, who in turn also grinned evilly.

That night….

Ruffnut creeped over to Tuffnut and dragged him outside. She replaced his shirt with a coconut bra, and replaced his pants with a tail crafted by Astrid. She then applied makeup on him and braided his hair. Next, she took the front half of a ship, broken by a storm, but patched up by hiccup, which she had gotten a few of the dragons to carry to the town square, and attached Tuffnut to the helm.

The next morning….

Tuffnut woke to the sound of laughter. Not wanting to miss out on whoever the village idiot of the morning was he jumped up, but found he could not move.

"hey, Ruffnut I need help," he said opening his eyes and suddenly noticing he was not in bed, but glued to the front of the ship, dressed as a mermaid. The Vikings below were roaring with laughter.

"Hey, Tuffnut, it's been a while let's hang," said hiccup, as he and the other teens rolled on the floor in laughter fits.

"hmm, okay, now it's my turn, lets see. Ooh, Snotlout, I dare you to eat a meal cooked by Astrid, all of it, vomit and you lose," said Ruffnut.

Snotlout paled, so did the others, except Astrid who thought Ruffnut was just going soft on him till…...

" Awww, come on Ruff, that's cruel and unusual punishment, what did he ever do to you," said hiccup, receiving a heavy punch from Astrid.

"nothing, I just love making people suffer," Ruffnut smirked, getting pinned to the ground by Astrid.

That afternoon.

The teens gathered in the great hall. Astrid walked over to Snotlout, determined to show the others just how good a cook she was, carrying some of her Yak-meat surprise.

"Enjoy," she smiled giving Snotlout a thumbs up.

That gave him spirit alright, just enough to make it through the first spoonful before he ran out the doors and vomited.

"I think she gave me food poisoning," groaned Snotlout, walking back in looking a very alerting shade of pale green, "why Ruffnut, did you have to be so cruel," he added making Ruffnut grin evilly.

"what!, that's ridiculous," said Astrid walking over to her food, "I'm a great cook and you're all just jealous, here watch," she said eating a spoon of her own food.

She raised her head triumphantly. But then turned a deep shade of pale green and sprinted out the door to vomit.

"Hiccup, I just wanted to say that when you get married, cook all the food, but if she insists, good luck," smirked Tuffnut.

"Lout, looks like you only have two chances left to forfeit before you're out," smiled Ruffnut.

Hiccup walked out of the hall to see Astrid sitting on the steps, her head in her hands.

"hey," he said sitting down next to her.

"hey," she replied.

"so…"

"I can't believe it. I can't cook, I'm such a failure," she sobbed.

"ssh, ssh, you're not a failure."

"what do you mean?"

"so what if you can't cook?, you're a great warrior, a great strategist, and an even greater friend."

She pulled him into a hug, "thanks hiccup," she said, letting the last tear fall on his shoulder.

After a while they broke apart.

"now come on, let's find out what the next dare is," he said.

As they walked in they found the other teens smirking at them.

"what's going on?" asked Astrid.

"look up," said Snotlout.

They looked up and found they were standing under mistletoe. Snotlout had dared Fishlegs to put it up there, he thought somehow if he meddled with Hiccup and Astrid's love life they would break up, and forcing hiccup and Astrid to kiss seemed like a good idea to him. However, the two just shrugged it of and kissed, lasting a whole minute. When they broke apart for air Snotlout was fuming, the twins were wolf whistling, and Fishlegs was looking content.

"I can't believe you actually kissed him," he said.

"why, what's wrong with kissing my boyfriend," said Astrid.

They then kissed again, for even longer this time, it seemed it would never end, but people started piling in, so they ended. Both finished their dinner's fast.

"woah slow down before you choke," said Ruffnut.

"yeah, why are you eating so fast anyway?" asked Tuffnut.

"if you must know-" said hiccup.

"and we must," sniggered Ruffnut, gaining a look from Hiccup and Astrid.

"as I was saying, we're going on a date," said Hiccup.

" A WHAT!," said Snotlout after doing a spit take.

"a date," said Astrid, "you know, when two people who like each other go out together."

"I know what a date is, but seriously Astrid, him?" said Snotlout getting flipped over by Astrid.

"no one, I repeat NO ONE, talks about my boyfriend that way, come on hiccup, let's go," said Astrid taking hiccup's arm as they left.

The next morning.

"you really Astrid, don't you?" asked Fishlegs walking with hiccup to the great hall for breakfast.

"More than anything," said hiccup.

"so, how many dates' you been on?"

"oh I don't know around like 30 ish,"

"I dare you to propose to her,"

"what?"

"I dare you to propose to her."

"why?"

"cause, you've been dating for 2 years, and you're both of age, besides, on the highly off chance she does say no, just tell her I dared you."

"fine."

"oh an hiccup, one more thing."

"yeah."

"if you haven't proposed to her by the end of the week you forfeit the dare."

"well, then I guess I better get started on the ring," and he rushed off to the forge, leaving a grinning Fishlegs behind.

"where's hiccup?" asked Astrid.

"beats me," said Ruffnut.

"haven't seen him all day," said Tuffnut.

"Maybe he's at the cove," suggested Snotlout.

So they all flew off to the cove, but hiccup wasn't there.

They didn't see him till the next day at dinner.

"hiccup where've you been, we were so worried," said Astrid, running up to give hiccup a hug.

"sorry, I've just been busy with a project in the forge," he replied.

The next day after dinner he asked Astrid to go for a walk with him on the beach, unbeknownst to them Fishlegs had asked the others to go to the beach, he said that it would be something worth while.

"so, pretty nice night huh," she said as they walked.

"yeah, pretty nice, hey Astrid, there's been something I've been meaning to ask you." The sat down

"hhhn," she said snuggling into his chest.

"Astrid Hofferson, will you do me the honour of marrying me?" he asked.

"aaaaaaaah," she squealed getting up, pulling hiccup with her and looking so happy that it appeared nothing could get her down, she kissed him, "yes hiccup a thousand times yes."

At these words Snotlout fainted.

"just one problem though," she said sorrowfully.

"what is it my love?" he asked.

She smiled. "you called me Astrid Hofferson, I'm Astrid Haddock," she joked, and they laughed.

He gave her the ring, it was silver and had a teal coloured gem in the middle with a wave design along the ring.

The next day they told their parents who both gave their blessings.

"to be honest," said Accel Hofferson, "Stoick and I were thinking about setting up a marriage contract, but you're mother wanted you to do it on your own, thought it would be more romantic," he said to hiccup and Astrid.

They were arranged to be wed in a weeks time, since it was harvest season.
