Astrid ran to her room, and grabbed her axe. She went to the forest with it.

"That's for the lies!" she yelled as she threw her axe to a tree. Then she remembered the first time she kissed him. The cove.

**flashback**

'And that's for everything else.' she said after kissing Hiccup on the cheek.

****

Astrid stared deeply at the tree. She couldn't hate Hiccup. And she knew that. She couldn't be mad anymore. She sat down on the grass and looked down. She could feel a tear flowing down her cheeks, then fall on the ground.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't Astrid the strong viking." Merida said, walking out behind one of the trees. She grinned at Astrid. "I could see how strong you are." she said.

"What do you want?" she sniffed, rubbing her eyes. "I want your boyfriend." she said.

"What?" she asked, looking angrily at Merida. She already stopped crying.

"You heard me. I want your boyfriend." Merida repeated. "What makes you think I'll give him to you?" Astrid raised her voice.

"You'll see. He's going to have fun tonight." she said which made Astrid curious. "What do you mean fun ?" she asked. Merida raised an eyebrow.

Astrid widened her eyes. She knows what Merida was talking about. "Are you going to-" "Yeah." Merida snapped.

"Yes we are." she grinned. "And after we do it, he's gonna forget about you." she said.

"Forget what?" Hiccup asked, popping out of nowhere. He was standing next to Astrid but she doesn't even want to talk to him.

"Are you excited about tonight?" Merida asked Hiccup, trying to make Astrid mad. "Oh yeah, it's going to be awesome." Hiccup replied, full of happiness.

Astrid looked at Hiccup and shooked her head. Her eyes were watery and she ran off.

Hiccup looked at Merida curiously. "What happe-" "No need to worry, she was just having a stomach ache." Merida said, making a pity face.

"So, about tonight. How are you feeling?" she asked suddenly changing the subject. "Oh yeah, I can't wait to go fishing with my dad." he said awkwardly, remembering what happened just now. He didn't knew why he was still talking to Merida after what she did just now. He was also worried about Astrid.

"So, I'll go first. Yup. See you tommorrow." he said, leaving her in the forest.

He sighed and wondered. If Astrid was having a stomach ache, then why did she ran off? What's the point of going somewhere else when you still can feel the pain?

Then it strucked him. 'Merida must have said something to Astrid.' he thought.

KNOCK KNOCK

Hiccup knocked in front of Astrid's house which was greeted by her mother. "Oh Hiccup, Astrid's upstairs. She's not in the mood."

"Please, I need to see her." Hiccup begged. Mrs Hofferson nodded and let Hiccup come inside. He climbed up the stairs to Astrid's room.

"Astrid?" he knocked her door. Astrid opened the door and motioned him to get inside. "What were you thinking?" she asked as she closed the door.

"Look, I didn't say anything. I came here to know what she said to you just now." Hiccup said. "She said that.. you guys were gonna do... the do. Tonight." she finnished. "Oh man, she said it like that?" Hiccup asked her again.

"No, she said that you were going to have fun tonight." she explained. "I asked her if you guys were going to do it and she said yes." Astrid continued. "No, I'm going fishing with my dad tonight." he said, telling the truth. Astrid knelt down and stared on the wooden floor.

"What's wrong with me?" she asked to herself. Hiccup was confused. "How can I be tricked like this? I've never been fooled before." she said looking at Hiccup. Hiccup was no longer confused and looked at Astrid. He now knew what she was talking about. "Hey, look at me." he said, kneeling in front of Astrid, holding her hands. Astrid looked up at him. "You weren't fooled okay? You were just confused and stressed out." he said.

She nodded and said "Okay."
