Modern au: Astrid and Heather are in a bar. Fishlegs has just broken up with Heather and she's heart broken. But when him and his friends walk through the door she does something she'd never had the courage to do before...

They look like the do in RTTE.

Heather sat there with her head on the table, her arms acting as pillows on the hard wooden surface. Astrid was sat beside her and felt awash with pity for her friend. She'd never seen her like this before, she was always as hard as nails but now she just seemed like a different person. Astrid placed a hand on Heathers arm in comfort,

"Hey... It'll get better, I promise..." Heather looked up,

"Oh yeah," she sniffed and wiped her nose, "and how exactly..." Astrid sighed. She actually didn't know but she just wanted to comfort her friend.

"Well... Whatever happens, just know that I'll always be here for you." Heather smiled at this and then quietly rested her head back on her arms.

Astrid sighed and leaned back in her chair. She hated seeing her friend like this, but she also hated being the one to comfort her. When she's angry she just goes to a nearby shooting range and 'shoots all her problems away' and it works. But not with Heather. She prefers to 'drink all her problems away' and that can lead to disastrous consequences.

Just then, Astrid's phone beeped. She looked at Heather who was now sat up in her chair. She had a frustrated look on her face,

"Let me guess... It's Hiccup." Astrid sighed,

"Do you mind if I take a look?" Heather sighed,

"Go ahead..." Astrid smiled and reached into her bag. She wrapped her fingers around her sleek phone and pulled the glowing screen out from within her bag. She quickly read the message,

"Hey M'lady. Won't be home tonight. But neither are you! 😂 Got to work night shift? 😒 Love you XXX"

Astrid sighed. He never worked the night shift. Why all of a sudden would he do one now? She furrowed her eyebrows as she thought this.

"Astrid? Is everything alright?" Astrid snapped back to reality and looked at Heather with worried eyes,

"I don't know... I think Hiccup might be cheating on me..." She shows Heather the phone,

"Oh no... Astrid I am so sorry..." Heather sighed,

"It's okay..." Just then Fishlegs, Snotlout and Tuffnut walked into the bar, "Oh no..." Heather frowned,

"What's the..." Heather turned around to see the three boys walking over to a group of girls. Fishlegs had wrapped his arm around one and kissed on the cheek, "Aw hell no!" Heathers fists tightened and whitened.

"Oh gods..." Just then the door swung open again to reveal another man, "Hiccup?" The man turned to the group of friends and joined them, "That lying son of a b***h!" Astrid slammed her fist on the table.

Another man from behind the bar then walked over to the stage. He grabbed a couple of microphone stands and microphones before he spoke into one,

"Testing testing, one two. Alright if you can all hear me then let's get this karaoke night started! Who's gonna go up first..." Nobody moved. Not one hand moved until Heather raised her hand. "Yes, you lovely young lady with the black hair. Step right up." Heather stood and tugged on Astrid's arm, at first she was reluctant but soon yielded,

"Okay..." Heather walked over to the do and whispered something into his ear, in response he nodded. (Start vid now)

You'll never bring me down

Heather and Astrid laughed to themselves as the whole bar cheered for them. They didn't even think they were that good but they were wrong.

The duo sat back on their table and sighed a sigh of relief, before bursting into fits of laughter.

"Here, have this. On me..." Astrid looked up to see a man leaning over her with a drink.

"Thank you..." She gladly took the drink and placed it on the table.

"You were great up there... I think you have---" Suddenly he was pulled back by a strong hand,

"What do you think you are doing?" Hiccup was now having a stare off with this man, "Stay away from my girlfriend." The man stepped closer,

"Oh yeah, or what?" Hiccup didn't move. He wasn't scared of him,

"Alright, I'll just see how easily you can pull yourself out from underneath a car..." the man stepped back and then looked at Astrid index more before turning back to Hiccup,

"Whatever..." He began to walk away, "She's not that pretty any way." Hiccups fists balled up and he quickly turned around and punched the guy in the face. The entire bar gasped and cheered at the same time,

"Hiccup! Outside, now!" Astrid shouted to him from across the table. Hiccup sighed and quietly stepped outside.

Astrid soon followed him and they both stepped out into the pouring rain. How ironic. Astrid backed Hiccup against the wall so they were at least in a bit of shelter,

"What the hell was all that about?!" Hiccup sighed,

"I'm sorry I was just running on instinct..." Astrid's expression softened,

"Instinct?" Hiccup sighed,

"Yeah..." Astrid stepped closer to him,

"Your instinct is to protect me?" Hiccups eyes widened. She wasn't mad? He looked up from the ground and was met with her ocean blue eyes,

"Yeah, I guess you could say it's also jealousy as well..." Astrid smiled. She couldn't stay mad at him,

"Hiccup. You are such a dork sometimes," she playfully punched him in the shoulder. " bust I think it's cute..." Hiccup smiled and placed a hand on her cheek and leaned in closer, before their lips smashed together. It was the most joyous moment of Hiccups life every time he kissed her, excluding anything intimate, and he always treasured it.

Hiccup decided to be brace and whilst his lips were sealed against hers he pulled them out into the rain. At first it was cold but when he felt Astrid's warm body against his, the cold was the lady thing on his mind. Astrid had wrapped her arms around Hiccups neck and his around her waist. This moment between them was pure bliss and she didn't care about the cold. That was the last thing on her mind...
