It was another busy day for Hiccup in the forge. It was early in the morning yet here he is, all sweaty and covered in grime.

Toothless was outside the forge, lying on the grass even though he still had his saddle on from their flight a while ago. Hiccup wiped sweat from his brow just in time to see Snotlout come in the forge. He saw Hiccup and waved to him with a smile on his face. Hiccup stared at him baffled.

What the? What happened to Snotlout? He never comes in the forge to see me... much less SMILE and WAVE at ME... Hiccup thought as he smiled at Snotlout awkwardly.

"Um... hey, Snotlout, not to be rude but... what are you doing here?" Hiccup asked as he wiped his hands on his apron before facing his cousin.

"And, what can I do for you, by the way?"Snotlout smiled at his cousin before punching his arm in a friendly manner, which still made Hiccup lean forward involuntarily.

"Oh nothing, Hiccup. I just wanted to see how my cousin is doing. Don't miss breakfast okay? I and the others will be at the Mead Hall!" Snotlout called as he went out of the forge leaving his cousin with a shocked, confused, and surprised expression on his face.

Toothless, who had been watching the whole thing, looked at his rider with his wide, dragon eyes. They exchanged glances before glancing at Snotlout's retreating form and back again."What just happened?" Hiccup asked confused before sighing and removing his apron.

"Come on, bud. I'm just going to take a quick shower and then we can get some breakfast." Hiccup said as he and Toothless made their way to Hiccup's house.

"I'm still bothered by Snotlout's behavior a while ago, Toothless." Hiccup said as he and Toothless made their way towards the Mead hall.

Toothless gave his rider a gentle nudge on the arm while walking and a soft grunt. Hiccup sighed.

"Yeah, I guess he just... um... ate something that made his... behaviour that way." Hiccup said.

Toothless made a low growl and pointed to the direction of the cove.

"Oh, sure, bud. You can go. I'll catch you later for our flight." Hiccup said.

Toothless licked Hiccup who gave out a groan before bounding off to the direction of the cove.Hiccup shook his head before entering the Mead Hall. He scanned the area before falling on the familiar table his friends sat.

He grabbed some food before walking over and sat beside Astrid."Hey, everyone." Hiccup said as he fiddled with his food. Still oblivious to his friends' strange behaviour.

"Morning, Hiccup." Astrid said sweetly.

Hiccup froze mid-bite into his muffin. Since when did Astrid talk sweetly? He glanced at the twins to see them talking normally. Ruffnut was smiling genuinely and Tuffnut was... well, Tuffnut actually looked... clean. And also smelled clean.

"Hey, Ruff, could I have some of your muffins? You can take my bread if you want." Tuffnut said as he held out a plate.

His sister smiled and they exchanged food. What the? They should be arguing by now. Especially for food. They wouldn't just give away their food for each other. And why does Tuffnut look so... clean? Hiccup thought confused.

He turned to see Fishlegs with a smug/annoyed expression on his face. He saw Hiccup look at him before his face turned into a sarcastic one.

"What are you looking at, fishbone?" he said rudely at Hiccup.

"Okay..." Hiccup said taken aback by what Fishlegs had said to him.

He glanced at Snotlout who was, for once, not admiring his muscles. He actually had a down to earth look on his face. By the looks on most of his friends, he was scared to glance at Astrid. He slowly turned to her and his eyes nearly bulged out. Astrid had flowers in her headband and along her braid. And the thing that shocked Hiccup most was the fact that she was wearing a dress.
