On the porch outside the clubhouse, Astrid looked to see a scaly dragon outside thump on it. She gasped. It was a Razorwhip. Heather!

Astrid stood up excitedly to meet her best friend. "Heather!" 

The young girl mounted off her dragon and grinned upon meeting Astrid. They immediately hugged and soon started chatting. 

But right next to Windshear, a Triple Strike, who the gang knew as "Sleuther", whom the twins' named, landed. On it was the red-headed Berserker Chief, who got off and met Hiccup.

"Hey brother! How's it going?"

"Good, Dagur," Hiccup responded as the rest of the gang met up with the Berserker guests. "What are you guys doing here?"

"Oh, can't I just stop by and say hi to my old friends once in a while?" Dagur grabbed Hiccup and lifted him up in a tight hug. 

"Eeee-Dagur-I can't breathe-" Hiccup gasped.

"Oh, right," Dagur dropped him. "Forgot how vulnerable you are."

"Yeah, right," Hiccup said, as he caught his breath, bending down. 

Heather turned to the rest of the gang. "Yes, we left a middleman charge of the island so we could come visit. Dagur's had a lot on his mind, but he's so stubborn I had to practically force him to get away."

"Oh, well I'm glad you're here," Hiccup remarked with a smile, bending back up.

Snotlout walked up to them. "Yeah, well now that you're here, and you already broke up with-" he gestured to Fishlegs behind him- "why don't we give it a go?"

Heather rolled her eyes. "Absolutely not."

"Ugh," he groaned disappointedly.

The gang walked inside, and Fishlegs served some porkchops for everyone. "Let's all sit down and have a meal guys," he said happily, looking at Heather and still feeling a little remorse about her ever since the breakup. 

Everyone sat down and it wasn't long before Dagur and everybody else dug in the food. 

"So, anything new happened around here?" Heather asked, taking a sip of water from her jug. 

Hiccup and Astrid, who were right by each other, looked at each other. Should they tell them?

"Well, we found new dragon species," Fishlegs remarked. 

"Oh, cool! What is it like? Does it have spikes?" Dagur questioned.

"No, it lives underground, it doesn't like sunlight," Fishlegs answered.

"That's interesting," heather commented as she took another bite.

"Um," Hiccup started, looking at his girlfriend next to him, "me and Astrid-"

"I'm so happy you guys are together!" Heather exclaimed happily. "Astrid, you finally took my advice."

"No, we announced that last month. I thought you guys knew?" Hiccup asked confused.

"Oh, we did," Dagur answered for his sister. "She just likes the thought of it still."

"Oh. Okay...  Anyway, me and Astrid... Well, we got betrothed to each other."

Heather dropped her porkchop from her mouth. "You what?"

Astrid smiled. "We're betrothed."

"No way! I knew it! You guys are perfect for each other!" Heather exclaimed excitedly.

"Woah, brother! Looks like everything's coming along for you two all right, huh?" 

Hiccup grinned. "Yes, it is."

Later that evening, in Astrid's hut, Heather came in excitedly. "You guys, I am so excited for you! For love forever! You guys are practically married!"

Astrid grinned. She was holding the gold pendant in her hands. "Yes, but this is just until we're ready to. We agreed, we're not ready because we still have a lot going on, and there's still Krogan."

Heather grinned, and sat down next to her best friend. "Well, when you're ready. Do your and Hiccup's parents know?"

"Oh, yes, they do. They told us it was only a matter of time. Apparently Stoick and my parents have sensed it long before we were together," Astrid explained. 

"Eh, I think we all did."

Astrid glared at her. "Seriously? You too?"

"What? it's not that hard to figure out," Heather defended. 

"Eh, it's whatever I guess. But I am so happy it happened this way," Astrid smiled, thinking of the person whom she loved with her whole heart.

 "Oh, and this is the gift Hiccup gave me when we got betrothed. It was the betrothal gift Hiccup's dad gave to his mom when they got betrothed," astrid explained.

"That's so sweet," Heather said, stroking the object. "What'd you get him?"

Astrid sighed. "The thing is, I didn't. I couldn't think of what to get him. But he said he didn't care and the only gift I could get him was me... me just being there for him."

"Oh, he- that's so romantic of him, isn't it? But anyway, when you guys are ready to get married, don't do it without me! Invite us!"

Astrid laughed. "Oh, all right, I will. If I remember."

"Don't!"

Astrid laughed again. "I'll remember."

"Good."
