AN: I'm back!!!! Sooo busy this month! (falls asleep)

Astrid smoothed out an old dress that she had kept in her closet. And by old she meant something from the 50's. It was a cute blood red dress that she had fallen in love with when she saw it in the store window at the time and she had taken great care of it. 'I think they now call it an Audrey Hepburn style dress.' Her mind mused as she remembered it just being called a swing dress. "Oh how the times change." Astrid mumbled while giving herself one last look in the mirror. The twins had called Hiccup that afternoon and insisted that Astrid and he dress up. "Just what are you two planning?" She wondered aloud as her doorbell rang.

Hiccup had dropped her off home when she stated that she'd need some things to get ready for whatever the twins got in their heads. Her handbag even included a first aid kit and a small fire extinguisher, just in case. She answered the door to see Hiccup's eyes widen. "Astrid you look amazing." He stated breathlessly. She blushed at his compliment and went to instinctively tuck a strand of hair behind her ear when she forgot that she had done all her hair up in a french twist braid.

"Thank you Hiccup." Astrid told him as she looked him up and down while they walked to his car. Hiccup had donned black slacks along with a white button-up shirt and a blazer. Astrid's eyes went to the pale expanse of collarbone and neck that peeked out from the two buttons Hiccup left open. She quickly averted her eyes and gave herself a mental slap. 'Bad Astrid! Bad!' She told herself. 'He's a friend. You don't need to fantasize about drinking his blood.' She thought as Hiccup held the door for her open.

'But you want to.' Another part over her brain answered and Astrid wondered when three became a crowd in her head. 'You so desperately want a taste.' The inner voice sounded smug and teasing.

'I do not!' Astrid mentally clapped back and then her mind shouted 'OUCHIE!'

"Astrid are you alright?" Hiccup asked. That caused Astrid to snap out of her musings and look at Hiccup in confusion. "I'm fine. Why?"

"Well you've been pretty quiet there." he told her.

"I just have a lot on my mind." Astrid mumbled. Hiccup nodded, it had been a day full of revelations. He stopped the car once he'd parked outside of the twins before turning to Astrid "Look, if you don't want to go then it's alright. I can just tell the twins you aren't up for it."

Astrid looked at Hiccup for a moment and was debating internally. "Let's go." She finally said. "I could use some cheering up right about now."

Hiccup nodded as he stepped out of the car and held the door open for her. Astrid blushed and thanked Thor it was night as it wouldn't be so obvious. She could sense a difference in the chivalry Henry and Hiccup showed. It felt more like Henry did it because he wanted to impress her while Hiccup was being a gentleman because he wanted to be. Even dressed up she could still see the same old Hiccup who would be covered in grease stains at the end of the workday and enjoying every minute of it.

And that was when that annoying voice in her head came back. 'Astrid and Hiccup sitting in a tree.' it sang. 'K-I-S-S-OUCH!' She smirked at the mental kick she gave and wondered if she was going to feel a migraine tomorrow from it. She felt something wriggling in her handbag and looked down to see Toothless' head sticking out.

"Hiccup, your dragon is in my bag." She stated as she saw that the small dragon had a white bow around his neck and was giving her a gummy smile.

"Eh....... yeah...." Hiccup scratched his head as he chuckled. "He crept in there while we were driving. He was getting kind of restless at home and wanted to come along." Astrid laughed as the little black dragon looked at her with wide green eyes. She gave Toothless a scratch on his head and wondered how she hadn't felt the extra weight in her bag. 'Had she been that distracted?' She thought.

'Yup' that annoying voice in the back on her head answered back smugly.

Astrid's eyes widened when they stepped into the twins' restaurant. "SURPRISE!!" a large group of people shouted, startling Astrid and causing her to turn into her fruitbat form and hide in Hiccup's mop of hair. She had dropped her bag in shock and Toothless let out a "yip" as he flew out before the bag hit the ground. Hiccup had learned his lesson from last time and he this time picked the fruit bat up and held the little creature in his hands. "Astrid can you change back?" He asked thinking that the bat would fly from his hands and change. He was wrong as Astrid changed back while still in his hands.

"AAAAH!" Hiccup shouted in surprise now as he suddenly fell backwards with a lap full of vampire.

"Eh........ oeps." Astrid blushed as she stood up and helped Hiccup up. Both turned when they noticed a flash.

"DAD?!" Hiccup now blushed as he saw both his father and Gobber with cell phones out.

"Yesss son?" Stoick asked as he was putting on the innocent act.

"Did you just take a picture?" Hiccup asked while Astrid wondered how lanky Hiccup could be related to this mountain of a man.

"Nooooo" Stoick said much too quickly.

"We took several." Gobber laughed.

"Gobber shush!" Stoick muttered.

"Whoopsie daisy." Gobber said.

Hiccup was still blushing by the time Astrid had met his father. Most of the town had turned up to whatever Ruff and Tuff had planned. He could see Dagur and Mala whispering about something, Throk was at the bar, Alvin was sipping a sex on the beach cocktail while Drago next to him was eyeing the potted cactus in the corner of the room. Hiccup decided not to ask what Drago was up to. The last time he did he got a lecture on the care of tulips. Astrid and he were shown to a table that had a great view of the stage. Heather was at another table with Fishlegs and they both gave Hiccup thumbs up when he looked at them. Hiccup now frowned and wondered what scheme was going on here. They didn't have to wait long as Ruffnut took the stage.

"LADIES AND GENTS WELCOME TO A VERY SPECIAL NIGHT!!!" Ruffnut shouted in the microphone. "We are all here to cheer up our new bat in town!!" Several cheers came from the crowd while Astrid said "oh boy".

"So we've prepared some acts for tonight from all you folks just for our new member." Ruffnut's announcement was met with cheers and even Astrid looked intrigued. "Why don't we start our night off with our old bat!"

"Hey I'm not old!" Dagur said as he took the stage wearing a glittering vest and a large neon green feather boa around his neck.

"OH MY THOR!" Astrid shouted as she saw what her friend was wearing.

Dagur took the mic and then said "I thought long and hard what I should sing for my friend." He told the crowd. "Now I'm sure everyone is curious......." he then indicated for the band to start as a spotlight focused on him. The music started off slow and Dagur brought the mic up "At first I was afraid, I was petrified....." he started singing causing the crowd to go wild. "Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side. But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong. And I grew strong. And I learned how to get along." Astrid's eyes widened as Dagur's hips began shaking. Hiccup noticed that she was trying to hold back full blown laughter while Mala was wolf whistling. "And so you're back. From outer space..." Dagur sang as the music picked up.

"Oh Thor Oh Thor!!!" Astrid couldn't take it anymore and started laughing like crazy. Toothless who was lazily sitting on their table watched the whole show with confusion. Astrid had tears in her eyes when Dagur started twirling the boa while singing "Go on now, go, walk out the door. Just turn around now. 'Cause you're not welcome anymore..." Hiccup also couldn't keep the smile off his face. When the performance ended Dagur took a dramatic bow before leaving the stage.

"What a performance!!" Ruffnut came back on stage as everyone cheered. "But we're not done for the night!"

"No?" Several people asked jokingly.

"Oh no no nooo." Ruffnut smirked. "Why don't you give it up for our next act "The grooving Vikings!!!" Hiccup nearly spat out his drink as he saw his father, Gobber, and Alvin come on stage wearing white bell-bottoms. Now it was his turn to shout "OH MY THOR!" As the music started and the three men began to sing and dance. "Sittin' here, eatin' my heart out waitin'. Waitin' for some lover to call. Dialed about a thousand numbers lately. Almost rang the phone off the wall..." Stoick sang as the beat picked up. Gobber took over almost immediately after "Lookin' for some hot stuff, baby this evenin'. I need some hot stuff, baby tonight. I want some hot stuff, baby this evenin...." The trio danced and then sang together "Gotta have some hot stuff. Gotta have some love tonight. I need hot stuff. I want some hot stuff. I need hot stuff." The crowd cheered and as Hiccup took a large gulp of the red wine in front of him something clicked 'The whole damn town is trying to play matchmaker here!!' He was so going to kill the twins.
