Astrid slipped off her dragon and headed straight for her home. "Go chat with the other dragons Stormy," Astrid yawned, "I'm gonna go take a nap." She slipped into her house.
'Okay,' Stormy searched through the town for his scaly friends. He saw them all gathered around in a circle. Stormy aimed himself at one of them, planted his feet firmly to the ground, lowered his head, then took a ruining charge at Hookfang. Stormy headbutted the older dragon, nearly knocking him over.
'Will you spot that!' Hookfang the Monstrous Nightmare growled.
Stormy chuckled, 'It's my way of communication!'
'Whatever...' Hookfang scooted over.
'Where've ya been all morning?' Meatlug the Gronckle asked.
'Flying,' Stormy stretched his sore wings.
'Again,' Barf the Gas head of of a Hideous Zippleback wasn't surprised.
'Your human spends so much time with him,' Belch the Spark head leaned over and placed its head on one side of Stormy.
Barf placed himself on Stormys other side, the Nadder was now in between both heads,'They should just hurry up and-'
'It is not like that!' Stormy stomped towards the middle of the circle, 'Astrid said so!'
"That's what she thinks,' Hookfang chuckled.
'Oh be quiet!' Stormy glared at the bigger dragon.
'You respect your elders!' Hookfang ordered.
'Calm down you two!' Meatlug chimed in, 'You know humans do that same things other animals do. Court then-'
'Enough of it!' Stormy squawked, 'Hiccup and Astrid are not your humans so keep your butts out of it! '
'And if it wasn't for that storm you wouldn't Astrids dragon,' Belch brought up.
'Storm? What storm?'
'It is none of our business so we shouldn't talk about it!' Meatlug reminded them.
'What storm!?'
"Whhhaaaaaaattt!?"
'Astrid!?' Ignoring the soreness Stormy shot up into the sky and flew straight to Astrids house. He headbutted the door in an attempt to open it, but it didn't move. 'Astrid!? Astrid what's wrong!?' Stormy heard voices directly in front of the door. He listened closely, it was Astrid and her parents.
"What do you mean that you put me in an arranged marriage!?" disbelief and rage filled Astrid. How could her parents do such a thing!?
"It's about time you start living like a viking,"the tone in Erlingrs voice showed that he was begging Astrid to listen all the way through, "You can't just keep chasing Hiccup."
"I'm not chasing him!" Astrid screamed, "Mom?"
"Honey it's in our culture to do things like this," Edna reminded her daughter.
"Culture!? Our "culture" is what drove Hiccup away and nearly put Stoick into depression!"
"We can't just abandon every bit of our culture just because things changed," Erlingr said bluntly.
"It's not abandoning our culture it's changing it!" Astrid could feel the tears starting to fall, "Change can be good!"
"And it can be bad," Edna pointed out.
"What if this change is bad!? Huh? Ever stop to think about that!?" Astrid spun around and flung open the door. The ease dropping Stormy jumped back and fell on his butt.
"Astrid! You better nto be thinking of going to him!?" Edna followed her daughter outside.
"What do you care!?" Astrid climbed onto Stormy, "Let's go!"
'To...where?'
"To Beserker Island," Astrid wiped away a few tears. Stormy was hesitant to fly but he did so anyways.
"Astrid!" her parents could only watch as their daughter flew off.
