A/N This story was moved from my sister's profile since I got my own account. Takes place directly after Enemy Of My Enemy.

It was dark by the time Hiccup and Toothless got home, and they were both exhausted. Toothless had been flying slow, and everything looked so blurry to Hiccup he could barely see. They landed in front of their hut at Dragon's Edge. "Come on, bud." All Hiccup could think about was bed, although he was so tired at the moment he could have been comfortable sleeping on a pile of weapons. He opened the front door, and they started to walk in when Toothless stopped and started to growl.

"Toothless?" Creeeak. "Who's in there?...OUCH!" He got punched in the arm.

"What on earth do you think you were doing?" Astrid yelled.

"I think you actually broke my arm that time," Hiccup said as calmly as he could. There was a permanent bruise on his left arm.

Again Astrid was in his face. "What were you thinking?"

"I thought I was going to bed," he replied, still holding his arm. He realized that if she hadn't been merciful and punched him lightly he'd probably be dead by now.

"I can't believe you! After all we talked about just this morning! We've been searching everywhere for you, we thought you'd been captured by Viggo and Dagur! The twins were actually serious for once, in fact Tuff was a mess. They held your funeral service. Fishlegs fainted, and you left me to deal with Snotlout! He couldn't have cared less about what happened to you!"

"Well there's a surprise," interjected Hiccup.

"I had to give him two swords and my axe just to get him to patrol the island! And when he got back he demanded that someone make him a plate of yak chops. Hiccup, do you know how badly Dagur wants you dead?" Her tone changed, and for the first time in her rant, she sounded concerned.

Hiccup was getting nervous. Why had she mentioned Dagur twice? Did she know? "Listen, Astrid," he began. "I'm sorry that we left without you. It wasn't smart at all-" here Astrid made a face- "in fact it was stupid, and I realize that now. I'll get your weapons back-"

"Oh, I already got them back," interrupted Astrid with a smirk. "But I think you can bet your life on me never doing that again." She stared at Hiccup. He looked sincere enough. Her face softened. "You should get some rest, you look exhausted." She turned and left without another word.

Hiccup turned to Toothless, who had been sitting silently beside him ever since Astrid started yelling, and muttered, "I think she actually broke my arm."
