AN: Okay, so I'm starting a new fanfic. This story takes place five years after HTTYD 2...

Disclaimer: I do not own HTTYD

Expect the unexpected

Hiccup's POV

This is Berk. For ten years, dragons lived with us Vikings in peace. We rarely have megalomaniacs-trying-to-control-dragons problems here.

That was five years ago. And we hoped it ends with Drago.

Life here in Berk changed. My mother lived with us, I became chief and also became married to Astrid.

Also, there isn't a day we all missed Dad. It was a pity he wasn't here to see me become the chief he expected me to be. He died five years ago, because of Toothless. But it wasn't his fault he couldn't resist the Bewilderbeast.

When I became chief, Toothless also became king to all the dragons. It's pretty normal to all twenty year-olds around to become chief or king, honestly.

But yeah, this is how we live on Berk.

"Hiccup!"

Astrid comes out of nowhere and hugs me. I grinned.

"Good morning, milady. Ready for a flight?"

That is what Astrid and I like to do. We spend every morning on a flight, exploring more lands. It was nice to be alone with her sometimes, even though we aren't exactly alone (Blame the dragons).

"Yep!" Astrid said enthusiastically. "Packed some food just in case we get stranded, again."

I glared at her. "It wasn't my fault that my wife's dragon starts an avalanche!"

Astrid rolled her eyes. "Sure, Hiccup. Sure."

"It was your fault!"

She ignored me and got on Stormfly. I mounted Toothless and we immediately rose into the sky.

Astrid's POV

I could see Hiccup take on a relaxed position. He was very happy, by the looks of it. There isn't a day he still wished for his freedom from being chief.

"So, Hic. I was wondering if you ever thought of having kids?" I asked.

He loses his composure. "What?"

I sighed. "We've been married for five years, Hiccup. Don't tell me you haven't thought of it."

" I do think about it. But I want to wait until you're ready."

Hiccup, still as understanding as ever. I loved that about him.

I smile at him. "I am ready, Hiccup. For years, actually."

We see land, and we immediately landed there. It looks familiar, and with a start, I realized it was Itchy Armpit.

Hiccup looks at me. "Really?"

"Yes, really."

He sighs. "I don't know." Hiccup muttered. "What if I'm not a good father? Dad's not exactly a good role model, and I don't know anything about being a father!"

I looked at him and touched his cheek. "You care, Hiccup. You care and love. You understand... I can assure you that you'll be a great dad."

Hiccup smiled at me gratefully then gazes out in the sky. He looks a little bit distressed...

"You okay?" I asked.

"That's weird," Hiccup said, "There's suddenly a storm? Storms don't come that quickly."

"We should go back, then." I suggested.

He shrugged. "We might not make it."

I raised an eyebrow. " Hello? You ride a Night Fury, and Stormfly is pretty fast. I'm sure will make it."

He looks uncertain, but nevertheless climbed on his dragon. We sped on back to Berk, and everything was fine, until I remembered something, ten years ago...

Oh, no.

With a start, I realized that Hiccup is practically made out of metal... His armor will attract the lightning. I can't afford to almost lose him again.

"Hiccup!" I yelled over the wind. "The metal will attract the lightning!"

The storm worsened. Hiccup yells an answer back, " I know! I-"

A loud scream pierced the air, and I scream in alarm as Hiccup falls off, his body twitching, into the dark abyss.

He was followed closely by Toothless, who is wailing in fear For his rider.

"Hang on!"

I swooped down and caught a falling Hiccup. But what about Toothless? I can't leave him... But I can't leave Hiccup too. I can only save one.

I chose Hiccup.
