AN: Ok so Wattpad was giving me trouble so I didn't get this up the same time Vala411 did but here it is none the less. This challenge was due on 7/16/17 and I did post it on fanfiction.net but I couldn't get it on here.  Anyways, enough rambling I hope you enjoy.

I grumbled as I was watering the flowers outside the front of my boss's house. His job was to fix cars, not babysit a house. But sadly it was this or be out of a job. His boss was a bit of a douche if he's ever met one "Ok plants done, now... oh come on." I stared at the sheet. He was going to have me wait here until Amazon delivered his package.

I went inside and sat at the table. According to the sheet he was given the package should show up in about an hour. In the meantime I pulled out my laptop and started to job search. I may have to do this job now but I'm looking for any kind of escape. So for the next hour I searched for a non-existent mechanic job in the little town of Berk.

As soon as the bell rang I closed my laptop and went to the door "I was told that a... Hiccup Haddock would be receiving this?" I nodded "That's me." He handed me a tablet and I quickly signed it "Have a good day sir." He said before walking back to his van "I wish I could have a good day." I mumbled setting the package on the table.

I jumped as I heard a crash come from downstairs "Great, now I'm definitely fired." I moaned before walking over to the basement steps and flicking on the lights to see what damage occurred. What I wasn't expecting was to see a girl lying at the bottom of said steps. As quickly as I could I ran down and sighed in relief when I saw her breathing.

"Hello... miss..." I said trying to shake her awake. She pushed my hand off "Just go away Eret." I rose and eye "Um... I'm not Eret. But you've fallen and I want to check to see if you're ok." She groaned and rolled over facing me "You're not Eret... who are you cutie?" She said with a clouded look in her eyes. As soon as she turned and spoke I knew who this was... Astrid.

But her comment was currently making me speechless and blush slightly. So instead of speaking I pulled her onto her feet and sat her down on a step. I took a second to compose myself "Are you alright Astrid?" She shook her head "Did he seriously try and hire someone to watch over me?!" She said sounding angry.

I took a step back knowing this girl's violent ways "Uh no... I'm just here to water plants and pick up packages." She stood up and started to sway "Well I'll have you know that I can take care of the house on my own." She said almost falling over. I leaned to catch her but got a fist to the face "Ow." I mumbled rubbing my sore cheek "Don't touch me."

I don't know how I didn't notice it before but I could smell it on her now, alcohol. That would explain a few things considering that this isn't how she acts. I rubbed the bridge of my nose and walked passed her up the stairs to the kitchen. I quickly filled a glass with water and brought it back downstairs.

"Here... drink you'll feel better." I said handing her the drink. She mumbled about not needing help before downing the glass. Once she was done I took back the glass and she went upstairs. I followed behind to make sure she didn't fall... again. Once we were upstairs she went all the way up stairs to what I assume to be her room. I took that as my cue to leave so I packed up my laptop and left.

I pulled back up to the house to continue the list that he gave me. The plant's needed watering again so I did that first. Once that was done I went inside the house. The next thing was that... I needed to dust "Oh someone kill me already." I groaned trying to look around for a closet with a duster.
