Chapter 1: Operation Hiccstrid

The sound of the room door opening made Hicca Haddock look up from her biology book and see her twin brother, Hiccup Haddock, walk in with his eyes on the screen of his cell phone. She watched as her brother stumbled a bit, being too focused on whatever was on the screen, before he reached his bed on the opposite side of the room. Seeing the bright smile on her brothers' face, Hicca immediately knew the reason behind it.

"You're texting Astrid again, aren't you?" She asked although she knew the answer well.

"Yes, how did you know?" Hiccup asked, not looking up from his phone.

"Lucky guess." Hicca said sarcastically, although her brother didn't pick up on the sarcasm like he usually does. "Any chance you're going to ask her out?" Again, she already knew the answer to that question and it frustrated her every time she heard it.

Hiccup finally looked up from his phone. "No, I told you. Astrid and I are just friends. We're not going to date now or anytime soon. She doesn't like me that way." He then turned his attention back to his phone.

Giving a frustrated sigh, Hicca closed her book and walked out the room. She decided to pay a visit to her and Hiccups' best friend, Raeda Henderson, who lived right next door to their house.

Raeda, Hiccup and Hicca were childhood friends. They always hung out with each other every day since elementary school. The twins' dad, Stoick, and Raedas' parents, Helga and Thaddeus, work in the same electronics company. The adults usually work until late at night so during those nights their children always have dinner and sleepovers together.

Hicca brought out the key to the Henderson household and opened the door, making a beeline to Raedas' room.

Inside, the fifteen year old raven haired girl was painting her walls a different design again, which was not unusual for Hiccup and Hicca. Raeda repaints her walls every four months, unless she gets a sudden inspiration.

Raeda looked up and saw one of her best friends walking inside her room. "Hey Hicca, what's up?" Raeda asked, while painting her wall.

"Trying to keep myself from murdering my brother." Hicca grumbled as she sat on Raedas' bed.

"Uh oh, what did Hiccup do know?"

"He's being completely oblivious, again! He is texting Astrid as we speak and he has that love-struck look in his eyes as always, yet he still adamant about their supposed 'just friends'! It is so annoying!"

Raeda took a break from her painting and looked at Hicca. "I know what you mean. Every time I see Astrid, she always asks about Hiccup and subtly asks whether he has a crush on anyone or not. I try to tell her to go talk to him and be honest about how she feels but always refuses, saying that they're just friends and that he doesn't like her that way."

"I know that's exactly what Hiccup keeps telling me every time I try to encourage him to ask her out. He even said that now when I brought it up again."

Raeda sighed. "Who knew two bright teens could act so dumb."

"They are the perfect match and the sad thing is neither of them knows that." Hicca ranted. "It is faster to watch glaciers move. I say we do something about it, otherwise they are both going to graduate high school as 'just friends'."

Raeda thought about it for a moment and then her eyes sparkled as an idea came to mind. "You're right, we should step in. We gave them plenty of chances to do this on their own. They clearly need help. So we have three options." She then stood up. "Option one: we can strangle them both, option two: we can literally knock some sense into them, using books."

"Both options are tempting." Hicca said. "What's option three?"

Raedas' had a mischievous look on her face. "Option three is the most fun for us." She explained. "I like to call it Operation: Hiccstrid."
