Heather grinned as she peeked out from behind a bush. She watched her best friend, Astrid having a casual lunch with the campus nerd, Hiccup.

"Hey! Lemme see!" a girl with blond hair and blue eyes said as she shoved Heather away, causing the bush to rustle loudly.

Heather shifted back, letting the short blonde poke her head out of the bush. Heather realized her mistake when the girl let out a high pitched squeal, alerting the two students before them.

"What was that?" Astrid asked as she looked around.

Heather slapped the blonde upside the head and slowly began to inch the bush away from the pair. 

Once out of earshot, Heather jumped out of the bush and pulled the blonde into a nearby bathroom.

"Cami! What the hell were you doing!"

The blonde shifted on her feet and looked up at Heather, ashamed. "Sorry, H, it was just so cute!"

Heather sighed and shook her head. "Listen, Camicazi, I know you want to help make Hiccstrid happen, but I think before you become a part of the Hiccstrid squad, you might need a smaller project to work on."

Camicazi looked at Heather questioningly. "Like what? I mean, pretty much all of the smaller couples on campus are already together. And there's no way Jelsa is a small project." she said with crossed arms.

Heather cursed under her breath. "Right. We'll figure something out at the meeting tonight, but for now, try to search the campus for any small projects? It'd do you good."

Camicazi saluted and jogged off. As she walked through the campus, Cami saw tons of happy couples holding hands or hugging, or...other things she didn't want to think about. All of them were thanks to the Shipping Squad. A group of people who tried to get people who wanted to get together, together. Almost like a group of cupids, but without the arrows. They always seemed to know who would go well together, and when a couple failed, they didn't try to push them back together, but they tried to make both sides feel better. 

Camicazi heard of this club on her first day at Berk University, and immediately wanted to be a part of it, but they wouldn't accept members until Valentines day, and even then, you would've had to have had a successful couple. Now, in her second year of college, she was still a fledgling, and hadn't had a successful couple yet. 

As she was thinking, she bumped into someone. She looked up to see Tuffnut Thorston, the campus troublemaker, and her crush. She blushed. "Oh! H-Hey, T-Tuff, where's your sister?"

Tuffnut shrugged. "Ruff's out running some errands or something and I decided that I would go find Hiccup and ask for his opinion on a prank."

Camicazi laughed nervously, her cheeks still kind of red. "Oh, that's nice. Speaking of Hiccup, could you help me with something?" Came asked, fiddling with a strand of her hair.

Tuff looked down at the short girl questioningly. "Uh, sure, what do you need?"

Cami looked down nervously. "It's for the Shipping Squad, I need to complete a project to become a fully-fledged member."

Tuffnut let out a sigh of relief. "Phew, thought you wanted me to set you up with the H man."

Camicazi laughed. "Hell no, but I do need your help in setting him up with a girl.

Camicazi hesitated as she slipped into a gold party dress. "Tuff, are you sure this'll work? I mean, I wanna finish this project for a number of reasons, but what we're about to do could potentially make or break Hiccstrid. And our reps."
