Hiccup woke up and looked at the clock next to his bed. 6:30 it read. "Damn it" he muttered before getting out of bed. He was never the type to fall back to sleep after being woken up so he got up and started getting ready for another lousy day at school. "Well at least I get to see Astrid again," he thought to himself while eating his breakfast. His father was nowhere to be seen but that didn't surprise Hiccup at all. Stoick was the CEO of a large aeroplane company and he always had something to do so usually left home early and came home late. After Hiccup looked at the time he sighed. It was only 7. He still had an hour and a half till school started. He suddenly heard the sound of a message being received. He looked over to his computer and saw that Stormfly had sent him a message.

Stormfly: hey... You online?
Night Fury logged on
You: I am now
Stormfly: I'm sorry did I wake you?
You: no no it's fine. I normally wake up this early
You: why are you up this early?
Stormfly: well I woke up at around 6 and couldn't get back to sleep so I got ready for school and I got bored so checked to see if you were up. And look at that! You are!
You: hmm I guess I'm not the only one that wakes up this early. Good to know.
Astrid didn't know why she texted Night Fury when she got the chance. She just couldn't help herself and she felt like she alway's had a lot of fun. Even if they've only talked twice.
Night Fury: hey...I need some girl advice
Astrid's eyes widened. Was he really saying that? They had bearly known each other for a day and Night had already trusted her enough to ask her something like that. Slowly she started typing again.
You: umm well as a girl I think I can give some pretty good advice
Astrid facepalmed. Why had she typed that to a complete stranger? She wouldn't be surprised Night started flirting with her right off the bat. Most guys she meets do.
Night Fury: oh..ok good. Well, you see I have a crush on this girl at my school and yesterday I was running through school because I got a call that my pet had escaped and was on the other side of town when suddenly I bumped into her knocking her onto her ass. I was apologising when she said to me "watch were your going' which wouldn't have been an issue except she said it in such an angry tone. I feel like she hates me now and I want her to forgive me. What should I do?
Hiccup put his hands to his face. Imagine how pathetic he sounded, asking some random girl he met on the internet for girl advice. He wouldn't be surprised if she stopped talking to him then and there. After about a few minutes he was getting up to go before he heard Stormfly reply
Astrid went red with embarrassment as she saw Night Fury's message. Did she really react that badly? She was known for having zero tolerance for screw-ups but she didn't realise the guy that bumped into her was running to his escaped pet. She felt extremely bad about it.
You: well I guess if it was a reason such as losing your pet then I'm sure if you told her the truth she would understand.
Night Fury: ok thanks.
Night Fury: oh gosh I'm going to be later for the bus. I uh got to go. Talk to you later?
You: alright see you

Hiccup basically ran downstairs making sure his window was locked before he left the house locking it and running towards the bus stop. Luckily he was the first one their which was good news. "Hiccup" a voice called out to him. As he looked over his heart sank as he saw Astrid walking over to him "oh.. Hey..uh Astrid... Hi, Astrid hey…" His voice trailed off as his face went red. He quickly looked away making sure she didn't see it. "How are you today," she asked him smiling. That smile made Hiccup want to jump 20 feet into the air. "Im.. uh... Good thanks… uh how a..about you?" he managed to say. Before she could answer the bus pulled up and they both got on.
Astrid walked behind Hiccup where she saw Ruffnutt patting the spar set next to her but before Astrid could get there Snotlout tripped up Hiccup and shouted "What are you going to do about it Peg Leg? Tuffnutt and Ruffnutt both joined in chanting "Pegleg Pegleg" soon the whole bus was chanting it as Hiccup quickly took a seat at the back. Astrid looked in disgust at Snotlout who looked at her "babe what wrong"? He asked in a concerned tone. "What do you mean what's wrong! I'm fine but its poor Hiccup that's hurt". She was angry. Very angry. "Listen babe Hiccup is a nobody and I'm doing him a favour". "Oh, yea? And what's that!" Astrid asked sarcastically. Snoutlout smiled an evil smile "well if I didn't bully him he would simply be forgotten". He laughed a bit that laugh didn't last that long as he was slapped so hard the whole bus went silent. "Your a real bitch" Astrid shouted before walking to the back to tend to Hiccup. "You have to do that, "he said quietly still looking out the window. "Yes, I did. It was obvious no one else would and I hate to see my friends hurt. Hiccup looked over to her red in the face. "We are friends right?" Astrid said smiling "y..yea definitely" Hiccup replied grinning.
"Sooooo?" Fishlegs asked Hiccup as they sat down on a table in the cafeteria. "What do you mean?" Hiccup asked. "The chat. did you find anyone that you enjoyed chatting with?" Hiccup smiled "yea I found someone who actually goes to this school. But I've decided not to tell her who I am. I guess she decided the same thing because she hasn't really told me something about herself" Hiccup replied starting to eat his sandwiches. "Oh, that cool I gue...Wait a girl?!" Fishlegs basically shouted. Hiccup went red in the face. "Quiet down Fishlegs! Youll embarrass us both. Fish shut his hands over his face. "Sorry, I'm just really surprised that you managed to talk to a girl and how did you find out?
"I may or may not have asked her for girl advice"
Fishlegs froze for a few seconds "you asked a complete stranger who at the time you didn't know was a girl for girl advice?" he said slowly. "Yea I know it sounds weird but it just felt natural. It sort of felt like we had been friends for years instead of a few hours". Fishlegs sighed. "Well, whatever dude. I hope you know what you're getting into".
"I'm sorry Astrid I didn't mean to make you upset". Snotlout said trying to hold her hand which she kept refusing "It's not me who is upset its Hiccup and I want you to apologise to him" she said still very annoyed at Snotlout. After the bus ride Hiccup went his own way while Astrid went right to the first lesson where from then on Snotlout has been trying to apologise to her. "Listen, babe, I'm not going to apologise to that nobody. He doesn't deserve it after what he did to me". Astrid looked at him "what did he do?" "Well in kindergarten I took the toys he was playing with and he told me I was a jerk". Astrid looked at him to see if he was serious. Once she realised he was again she went red with anger "you're telling me you made Hiccups life a pain just because he called you a jerk!" she yelled before storming off soon followed by Ruffnutt. Snotlout looked at her walk away and was slowly approached by Tuffnutt "you know she's right. Right?" he said before walking to their next class of English.
Hiccup rested his head on his desk as he waited for the lesson to start when suddenly someone slammed their hand on his desk. As he shot his head up to see Snotlout looking particulary sad. Slowly Hiccup opened his mouth but was interrupted by Snotlout talking "listen Henry I uh...wanted to apologise for everything… I was being a huge ass over a stupid thing and...I'm sorry". "Yea same here," Tuffnutt said from beside Snotlout "and me," Ruffnutt said from behind Hiccup. Hiccup was overwhelmed. His whole life was consisted of being bullied and now those bullies were in his face apologising. He looked at Snotlout in the eyes "I'll forgive you on one condition. You stop bullying altogether". Snotlout stopped for a few seconds before sighing "alright I will" Hiccup smiled "thank you. And also call me Hiccup".

You: you wont guess what happend today!
Stormfly: what?
You: Snotlout stopped bullying!
Stormfly: what?
Stormfly: you're not joking right?
You: nope he accualy did stop!
You: he said it in class today
Astrid smiled. Without relising, it Night Fury showed her they're in the same class
Stormfly: thats incredible
Stormfly: so how did he stop? Did someone knock some sense into him?
You: no he just apologised to someone and the person told him to stop bullying and he agreed.
Stormfly: wow that's kinda anti-climactic
You: true true
Hiccup laughed. It may have been anticlimactic but still, it was good to see not changing.
You: Soooo uh are you planning on revealing your identity anytime soon?
Stormfly: nope
Stormfly: what about you?
You: not anytime soon.
Hiccup got a text and jumped onto his bed and checked his phone. Looking to see who it was he started texting
You: Hey fish whats up?
Fishlegs: nothing just seeing how your doing
Fishlegs: so how are you doing?
You: good just talking to Stormfly
Fishlegs: Who's Stormfly?
You: the girl from annon chat
Fishlegs: oh alright
You: what are you doing?
Fishlegs: just talking to other friends on annon chat
You: isn't your computer broken?
Fishlegs: yea it is.
You: then how are you talking to them
Fishlegs: I downloaded it on the app store
You: I got to go
Hiccup switched into the app store and right away searched 'annon chat' and quickly downloaded it. Then he moved towards his computer
You: hey did you know there is a mobile app for annon chat?
Stormfly: wait there is?
Stormfly: downloading it now
While she was downloading it Hiccup signed into the chat and waited for a message to pop up
Astrid basically ran to her phone when Night Fury had told her about the phone app. As she was downloading it she thought to herself like she had many times before "why am I doing this for someone ive never met before and probably dont even know" but the more she thought about it the more it made sense. Even though shes only talked with him for a few days shes found out they both have a lot in common than she has with most people.
Hiccup sighed as he layed on his bed looking at the ceiling again. "Whats taking her so long?" he said to himself. Right as he said that he got a message.
Stormfly: is this working?
You: yes it is
You: congratulations now there's no way you can get rid of me
Stormfly: oh god!
Stormfly: I didn't think of that!
You: oh ha ha
You: very funny
Stormfly: Wait! How did it go with the girl! Did you talk to her?
Astrid knew this guy had said nothing to her but she wanted to see if he had at least tried
You: Oh crap I compleatly forgot too
You: ill probably do it tomorrow.
Stormfly: im sure she'll forgive you.
Stormfly: anyway I've got to go. Talk tomorrow?
You: do you even need to ask?

Astrid blushed when she read his message. She realised how much she was blushing and tried to stop but just couldent. She put her phone away and looked out the window. She noticed out of all the houses she could see only one light was on and in that light she saw Hiccup, red in face and smiling like crazy. She also smiled at the sight of him and walked into her bed. She was happy for two reasons. One: Hiccup was happy he was over the bullieing and two: she felt wanted.
