"Ugh. We've been riding almost all day, and I'm starving!" Snotlout complained.
"Shut it, Snotlout. We ate not even 3 hours ago. We need to find her." Hiccup said, getting annoyed with Snotlout's complaining.
"Why can't we head back to the palace and search more tomorrow?" Eret asked.
"GUYS! WE ARE NOT STOPPING ANY TIME SOON, SO BE QUIET!" Hiccup finally exclaimed.
That shut them up as they continued to search the forests of Berk.
.....................
Meanwhile, Heather rode through the different villages asking if anyone had seen a rogue horse with a rider. Most of them said no. But when she got to the poorer village, a lady was outside collecting the wash from the line.
"Excuse me."
"Yes, my lady?"
"Have you seen Princess Erica as of late?"
The woman put her basket down and said, "Follow me, my lady."
"Please. Heather."
"I'm Astrid."
So Astrid led Heather to the room where Erica was resting. Heather gasped.
"She was thrown from her horse and rolled into a tree," Astrid explained.
"She's a fool," Heather muttered under her breath.
"Why?"
"She was riding at those speeds, and she's pregnant."
"What?"
"She doesn't know yet. The royal healer told me, and I was to tell her during dinner (Lunch)."
"Oh, dear."
That's when Erica woke up.
"H-Heather? What are you doing here?"
"We've been looking all over Berk for you, you muttonhead!"
"Sorry," Erica mumbled.
"It's fine. I'll go find the gang and have Hiccup come get you later or tomorrow. Okay?"
"Sure," Erica mumbled.
"Heather? Aren't you going to tell her?" Astrid asked.
"Tell me what?"
Heather sighed and said, "I was talking to the royal healer. She discovered that you are pregnant."
"I'M WHAT?!" Erica exclaimed.
"It's true dear sister-in-law."
"Oh wow. Who else knows?"
"Me, you, the healer, and Astrid."
"Wow." That's all that Erica could say.
"I'm going to go find the gang. Hiccup will come as soon as possible to get you, Erica, okay?"
"Okay. Bye, Heather."
"Bye Erica, Astrid."
"Goodbye."
So Heather left to find the gang.
.........
Heather rode through the Berkian forests until she came across the gang.
"GUYS!" she yelled.
"Heather? Did you find her?" Hiccup asked.
"Yes. She's injured. Spot threw her."
"Where is she?" Hiccup asked.
"The poorer village. With a wash girl named Astrid." Heather said as Hiccup took off, "Okay, guys, let's go home."
