(UNEDITED AND DISCONTINUED) What Astrid Had To Do

Chapter 13: The Cancelled Date

Astrid's POV

I went to look for Hiccup.

Even thought the celebration was finished, Berk was STILL crowded.

"Ugh....Hiccup, where are you?!"

I shout.

Then, someone suddenly grabbed my arm.

He pulled me strongly and made me trip.

"Ouch...! What in Thor's name is your problem!!!???"

I looked up and realized it was Hiccup.

"Oh, Sorry about that..... are you okay?"

He asks as he stretched his hand to offer me to stand up.

"Yah, I'm good....Sorry for yelling at you."

"No, don't sweat it."

"Okay."

He looked at me deeply.

His eyes were wide and sincere-looking.

It's like he has a BIG PROBLEM.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm-I'm okay."

"Really?"

"Yes."

I'm starting to worry about him.

"Hiccup, you know, as a concerned Girlfriend, you need to tell me if you have a problem."

"Well, okay. But, promise me you won't get mad?"

"I promise. Tell me."

"You sure?"

"100% sure, sweetie."

"Okay, it's about..... our date."

Suddenly, a chill ran down to my spine.

I was like:

OH. NO. HE. DIDN'T.

He's going to cancel it!?

"Look, Astrid, you look amazing today, as usual, but....... My dad asked me to make my own speech, for the annual closing for the Great Celebration."

"What?! Isn't that finished yet!?"

"Oh no, there's still the closing remarks and the thanking of the visitors."

"Oh, okay then...." I say while I was looking at the floor.

"Astrid, i'm really, really, really sorry."

"It's.....okay."

I say as I ran away from him all the way to my house.

He was screaming my name.

I jumped on my bed and shouted:

"He LIED TO ME!!!!!!"

I mean, it's not such a big thing....

It's just because, you know...

It's supposed to be our first date

With my FIRST BOYFRIEND.

And i'm his FIRST GIRLFRIEND.

Nah, i'm not supposed to be mad at him!

I mean, he's going to be pretty busy.

He always is.

I should just let this flow away!

Go with the flow....

Man, i'm too depressed today....

Hiccup's POV

Oh great.

Astrid is pretty much MAD at me for canceling our date.

I was rushing.

I wasn't supposed to be really rushing.

I thought of that too early.

"Huh, you messed up really bad, Hiccup!"

I say as I facepalmed.

"What do you mean?"

Some voice asked me.

I turned around and was surprised to see Ruffnut behind me.

"Oh, um.... I lost my....uhm....my...."

"You lost your what? And where's Astrid?"

"Astrid?.....she's at home."

"You mean, you didn't continue your date?"

"My....what?"

"Your date. You guys are dating aren't you?"

"How did you....."

"Oh, never mind that. She told me."

"Oh. I see."

"Well, you cancelled your date?"

"Yeah. I was rushing for our first date! Oh Ruff, I don't know what to do......"

Then a MOMENT OF TOTAL SILENCE.

"And I don't know why I'm saying all I this to you." I continued.

"Oh, don't worry about that. If you need help, just give me a call!"

"Okay, Thanks. I never actually seen this new side of yours."

"Whut!? I'm just trying to help my friends!! Is something wrong with that?!?!"

"Okay, Geez! Calm Down!"

"So, what do you need help with?"

"Well, I need to cheer Astrid up. She's Depressed about our cancelled date."

"Huh, you really had to rush your first date?"

"Yeah. Just to prove that I'm really in love with her."

"Aww..... well, I have THE PERFECT PLAN. C'mon!!!!"

She pulled me and dragged me all the way to the tavern, where we roast fish or chicken.

Ohh....., I just wish that her plan is awesome.
