Yo. So, long story short, my mom had surgery (a hysterectomy), and the surgeon totally screwed it up and nearly killed her. So basically, she was at the hospital for a really long time, and then she had to stay in bed for months, and I've been acting as substitute mom for my four younger siblings. Oh, and I forgot the password to the document where I was writing this story. I'm really, really sorry for making you guys wait. :(

Hiccup's POV

Hiccup and Toothless and Astrid had retreated to the cove where Hiccup had first met and befriended Toothless. They sat curled up against the back of the cuddly black dragon and relaxed, talking lazily and catching up. The day passed peacefully, and for the first time in a while, Hiccup found his muscles un-tensing. He had been sore for the past month, stress causing tension, especially around his prosthetic. it felt good to just lay with his best friend and girl friend and feel like the weight of the world wasn't resting on his shoulders.

And then the peace was disturbed.

They did live on the same island as the Thorstons. That pretty much guaranteed that any peace you could ever find would be disturbed.

The twins' two-headed dragon swooped down from the sky and snagged Hiccup from the pile of warmth and relaxation he had been enjoying.

"Seriously, guys? What? Why are you kidnapping me?"

Ruffnut leaned down and around so that her braids were flapping in Hiccup's face. "WE JUST WANTED TO ANNOY ASTRID! LOOK! SHE'S ANGRY!"

"Finally," Tuffnut sighed with satisfaction. Hiccup groaned.

When he looked down, he could see that Astrid was indeed angry. Very angry.

Oh dear.

"You should probably put me down now!" Hiccup yelled.

The twins laughed maniacally.

"This is definitely going to end well."

Five minutes later, the twins were lying tangled up on the ground, bruised and moaning, as Astrid stood over them gripping her axe menacingly.

"If you muttonheads come near us again, your parents will never find your bodies. Do you understand me, you useless morons?"

"I dunno, my dad has a pretty good tracker dragon." Tuffnut answered innocently.

"Yeah, he could probably find two dead bodies. Dead bodies kinda stink, you know?" Ruffnut nodded at her brother.

"You stink," Tuffnut shot back.

"Do not!"

"Do too!"

Hiccup laughed nervously and grabbed Astrid's arm, leading her away from the bickering trouble-makers.

Snotlout's POV

Snotlout wandered the beach in misery, bewailing the loss of the love of his life. Oh Astrid! So beautiful! So strong and smart - and Hiccup had stolen her away!

Then he spotted Ruffnut sitting on the dock, petting Scauldy.

During the battle, Ruffnut had been pretty awesome. Riding the scauldron against the Berserkers like that - so hoot!

Snotlout sauntered over.

Fishleg's POV

Life was good again. Hiccup was healing, Astrid and Toothless were back, the Berserkers were finally defeated. Yes. Life was good.

Fishlegs patted Meatlug. Such a good girl! But she was tired from the battle, so he let her rest. Then he set out in search of Hiccup. As he walked down the beach, he saw Ruffnut. She was seated at the edge of the dock, legs swinging above the water, and she was gently rubbing Scauldy.

Scauldy was a beautiful dragon. And Ruffnut was being so kind and gentle... she looked kinda... beautiful.

Fishlegs started heading in her direction. Then he saw Snotlout coming towards Ruffnut as well, with a smug smirk on his face. They stared at each for a moment, then looked at Ruffnut, then looked back at each other.

Fishlegs scowled. Oh, it was on.

Sorry if that was too short for some people, but I kinda just wanted to wrap it up. My first fanfiction! Eeee! Love you all, and thank you so much, everyone who liked and favorited and commented. :D
