Astrid agreed enthusiastically. A loud voice cleared their throat.

"Attention, all!" Stoick was starting his speech. "It's great having everyone here today, including those from other islands. I'm sure we all know why we are here. It is my son's, Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third's, birthday!" The crowd cheered. "Hiccup is an interesting boy. For years, he was what the people of Berk claimed to be the worst Viking in history, but we were wrong. Very wrong."

Hiccup heart felt as if it had been slowly scraped by a blunt knife, his Father was talking about his uselessness. Astrid sensed this, somehow, and took his hand in hers. She smiled at him, and him to her also.

"My son stopped the three-hundred-year-old war between Vikings and dragons! He is now the pride of Berk. And I, Stoick the Vast, could not be more proud. It is only a shame that his mother could not be here with us. But on a more cheery note, It's time for the ceremonial dance! And by the seem of things, Hiccup predictably chose Astrid." Laughter erupted from the great hall at Stoick's wise words. Some of the other female teens, those not in Hiccup's friend group, only mumbled and grumbled.

Hiccup lead his crush to the stage and placed his hands on her hips, hesitantly.

"You ready for this?" hiccup asked, only loud enough for her to hear.

"Ready as I'll ever be," Astrid replied, confident, with her hands on his shoulders. Hiccup nodded to the band over his dance partner's shoulders. The music started playing while the two swirled through the air, bodies perfectly in sync. Astrid's dance teacher watched on with proud eyes, Astrid, her worst ever student, just twirled her way to the top.

Soon enough, the music stopped. Both dancers were huffing and puffing.

"That was... Amazing." Hiccup whispered. Astrid couldn't reply, she was too busy getting lost in his emerald green eyes. They were glowing.

Hiccup didn't need Astrid to answer. He was a bit occupied, drowning in the turquoise sea of Astrid's eyes.

Both teens didn't realise they were leaning until their breath started mingling. Hiccup and Astrid cheeks started warming up. From the crowd, watched Astrid's parents, Stoick, and Heather. They were all whispering to each other about how perfect those two were for each other.

Hiccup couldn't take this anymore. He was tired of waiting, waiting for the perfect moment. Right now was good enough. Hiccup crashed his lips to hers, earning a surprised moan. Hiccup was just about to pull away when Astrid started to kiss back. Hiccup encircled his arms around her waist tighter, and Astrid wound her arms around his neck, making the crowd whistle. There were a few,

"You're the man, Hiccup!"

"Way to go, Astrid!"

"That's my boy!"

Going around the crowd. Oh yeah, there were a few spewing in the corner aswell. (Snotlout) Gobber cleared his throat loudly to get the two's attention, which he did considering he was standing right next to them. His 'sudden' presence made the two lovebirds jump back, and realise that during their little session, the Maces and Talons board was set up. Hiccup puffed out his chest and sat down. Astrid was going to back down to the crowd before Stoick called her.

"Lass, I think Hiccup would want you to stay. He's allowed to have support." Astrid looked towards Hiccup for his approval, but he was already mumbling to himself about the moves he was going to make, causing Astrid to chuckle and rest her hands on his shoulders. Stoick sat down from across them, also registering his moves in his mind. Gobber, seeing the two Haddocks already in their own world, decided to address the crowd.
