Heather Report What-If

Chapter 3

"Are we training or not!" said Snotlout annoyed by Hiccup's absence. "Hey where's Hiccup?" asked Fishlegs. "Giving a private lesson" I said, irritated. I felt the weird feeling again but ignored it once again. "I didn't know he gave private lessons; can anybody get on that?" said Fishlegs, oblivious to what I meant. "Apparently just her" I said annoyed. "Uh oh looks like there is another hen in the rooster house" said Ruffnut teasingly. "Uh oh yeah another rooster in the hen house, wait what?" said Tuffnut not really paying attention to what his siter said. "Nothing, she thinks I'm jealous. Which is completely ridiculous." I said, not really believing my own words. "Oh, right right. Wait of who? Of me? Wait am I the rooster or the hen?" said Tuffnut, still clueless. "Trust me the last thing I am is jealous" I said, trying to prove the twins wrong.

And then came Hiccup and Heather flying into the arena. "Top of the morning class, how's everyone doing today?" said Hiccup, acting normally. "Oh, nice of you to show up" I said trying to remind him of the race. "What? Oh, we were supposed to meet up. I'm so sorry." He said finally remembering. "Awkward" said Snotlout, which made me want to punch him. "Oh, Astrid is jealous of the pretty one. Right? Why talk about hens and roosters?" said Tuffnut finally understanding what was going on. "So, Heather? Sleep well?" I said, trying to find out why she was near my house. "Very well, thank you Astrid." said Heather dodging my question. I glared at her furiously as she changed the topic. "So, this is it? Your dragon training academy?" Heather asked Hiccup. "No, our dragon training academy. Remember I called you the pretty one" said Tuffnut trying to flirt with the new girl. "We have been training the dragons to become part of our everyday lives," said Hiccup. "And it all goes right in here" said Fishlegs holding out the book of dragons. "Really? Everything?" said Heather being particularly interested. This made me even more suspicious.

"Um yeah I'm kind of a log keeper, log master really" said Fishlegs, surprising me. I didn't expect him to join Tuffnut and Snotlout. "He writes down what Hiccup tells him to" said Snotlout. "I give it my own spin. Thank you" said Fishlegs. "Can I see it?" said Heather. This turned me off, we can't share secret information with her. "I'll take that. Thank you, please excuse us" I said as I dragged Hiccup along with me. "Hiccup I don't think we should be showing her all our dragon secrets" I said when we reached a secluded spot. "Astrid, it's fine," said Hiccup. "I just don't trust her and you shouldn't either" I said, trying to knock some sense into him. "Well, I do and you should trust me" he said, as he walked away. I felt the weird feeling again but this time it was different it was almost like, betrayal.

After the class was over, I was walking back home when I saw Heather talking to Fishlegs. They was talking about Meatlug, she was asking way too much info. Later the evening I saw her with Tuffnut. They lit a boat on fire!!! So, I had to help the chief. But somehow, I thought she did this to know more about Tuff's dragon. The next day I saw her with Snotlout, they were talking about how Hookfang could light up. I was walking down the plaza, trying to connect all the suspicious things about Little Miss Innocent. When I saw a giggling and laughing, Hiccup and Heather pass by me. I felt a strange feeling in the pit of my stomach again. I decided to ignore it and focus on the work in hand. I followed Heather back to Hiccup's house. I saw her sneak into the house and up to the room. I followed her into the house when Hiccup was distracted. When I reached to the room, I saw her reading about the Deadly Nadder in the book of dragons.

"Monstrous Nightmare, Groncle. Here we go. The Deadly Nadder, piercing spines, Loyal, Powerful," she said, being interrupted. "Intelligence and of course deadly. What do you think your doing?" I said interrupting her. As soon as I caught her, I called Hiccup to see who Little Miss Innocent really is. "Well, are you gonna saw something?" I said, urging Heather to explain herself. "I am so, so sorry Hiccup. I was cleaning up your room and found the book. I couldn't help myself" she said, trying to make up a story to prove herself innocent. "It's okay Heather" said Hiccup, what an idiot. "It's, ok? What do you mean ok? She's reading the book of dragon!" I spoke. "Astrid, come on lighten up" he said. "Me? She's the one sneaking around. Looking at our stuff!" I said, furious. "Really? Sneaking around? What are talking about?" he spoke.

"I'm talking about last night. Near my house?" I said, telling Heather. "That was me. I couldn't sleep so I went for a walk. I was having terrible nightmares" she said, making another one of her stories. "I could imagine" he said. "Is this really happening?" I said, feeling horrible. "Okay, Astrid that enough" he said. "Your right Hiccup, it is" I said, stomping out of the room. I felt a tear roll down my cheek as I went down the stairs. I saw the chief coming from the door. I quickly wiped my tears away. "Good evening Lassie. How are you doing?" said Stoick. "Good evening sir. I'm good" I said. "You look a little worn out. Anything wrong?" he said. "It's nothing really, just been tired lately" I said, trying to cover up. "Okay then. I'll go start making dinner" he said. "Sure sir" I said as I left through the door.
