I wrote this first story a while ago. It's basically the outcome of being bored and tired.
Spoiler: click to toggle We Know The Way
First hour:
"So...Are you SURE you know the way to Achacyde island?" Tuff asked, looking doubtfully at Ocean and Xzander. "Yes, Tuffnut." The both sighed, hopping onto their dragons. It was the tenth time he asked that, and to be honest, Ocean was about to blow her top. "Guy's, back off. We have to trust them." Fishlegs said as he gave Meatlug a piece of granite. Ocean smiled at him, he had willingly volunteered to fly with them, even though he knew he would also be with the twins. "Yeah, sure. Say's the guy who get's lost in the Berk forest!"
Second hour:
"We've been flying for forever!" Ruffnut groaned, "Are you two sure you know the way?" Ocean rolled her eye's and took a deep breath before answering Ruff's question. "For the last time, yes." "You know Tuff, Ocean and I have heard how you and Ruff bonded with Barf and Belch, but I was wondering, how did you meet Chicken?" Xzander asked, obviously trying to stop and argument before it happened. "Oh, well you see..." Tuff started on the drastic tale of how the Rider's had been looking for a base island, and he was just getting to the point of how he had been woken up in the night on outpost island when Fishelgs leaned over and whispered the words the Xzander dreaded hearing. "What have you done!?"
Third hour:
There is no information on the third hour, for no one wanted to record the story of how Tuffnut met Chicken and made her his companion. (Except for Tuffnut himself, of course. He is currently writing a book about it for anyone who is interested. It should be ready in about ten years, when is is done writing all his memories with her. But it may be longer if it keeps on getting "accidentally" destroyed by Ruffnut.
Fourth hour:
"And that, my dear friends, is the story of how I met Chicken." Tuff looked around and still only say water. "Oh COME ON! We're still not there?!" "No Tuff" Fishlegs answered, grateful that Tuffnut was FINALLY done with his story. The riders flew in silence for a while when Ruffnut spotted some specks on the horizon. As they flew close those specks were obviously a cluster of small islands. "Is that Achacyde?" She asked, "No," Ocean said flatly, "That one?" "No" Xzander answered, "That one" "No" "How bout-" "NO!" Ocean and Xzander both shouted in unison. "Well, fine. Don't get your dragons in a frenzy." Leaning back, she muttered, just loud enough for Ocean and Xzander to hear, "Like you two know the way.
Fifth hour:
"How did we get stuck with those two?" Xzander asked through clenched teeth. Ocean couldn't help but smile, Xzander's patientce with the twins was finally wearing thin. "We did it as a favor to Hiccup and Astrid, and in return they took Lilly, Landon, and Hunter. I mean, think about it. We're both going crazy and this is the only time we've taken a five hour flight with the twins. Whereas Hiccup and Astrid do it all the time." "Yeah, yeah." He muttered back. "Hey, we're almost there. Lighten up." Xzander smiled at the thought of being free of the twins, when Fishlegs called out. "Hey, are those cliff's in the distance?" Ocean sighed with relief, "Yes! Ruff, Tuff, welcome to Achacyde!" Tuff and Ruff looked up at the high cliff's as they followed Ocean and Xzander down to the beach. "This can't be it!" Ruff groaned, "Yeah, this place is suppose to be amaz-" Tuff stopped mid-sentence as the dragons landed. There were beautiful reefs, and an incredible forest. Along with dragons, wild horses, and, to Tuff's delight, some wild chickens. "Wow" The twins whispered together, as they took in the sights, which included seeing Hiccup, Astrid, and the others in the distance. Jumping off Moonlight, Ocean looked at the twins, who wouldn't look her in the eye. "Told ya we know the way!"
What do ya'll think?

I wrote this last night while watching HTTYD...I think I'm now attached to the kids
Spoiler: click to toggle The smoke is thick and makes it hard to see as I push through the crowd. There had been an explosion, and we had all been thrown down. Hopefully Hiccup was okay. Please, let Hiccup be okay! I push by the last person, to find what I dreaded. Stoick's kneeling in front of Toothless, and no Hiccup. I bite my lip to keep from crying out, but it doesn't stop the tears from flowing. I don't care who sees, Hiccup can't be gone. A movement from Toothless draws my attention. There! He's uncurling his wings and, "HICCUP!" Stoick cries, "He's alive!" I gasp, a happy gasp, as more tears pour out. I think I heard Gobber say something about saving most of Hiccup, but I'm not sure. Spitelout shoots out orders, and Stoick tells the men not to hurt the Night Fury. Not that it looks like they would. None of them will step near Toothless, so I do. "Astrid," Gobber draws out my name. He was suppose to come for Toothless, that much know, while one of the woman treats Hiccup, at least till we can get him to Gothi. "Hey Toothless," I whisper, watching Gobber and the men out of the corner of my eye. Gobber must have realized that I wasn't going to hurt Toothless, because now the men are getting a board to put him on. And I can see Stoick hop on o Snotlout's monstrous nightmare with Hiccup in his arms and Snotlout in front. Hiccup's injury must be worse than I thought, but he's alive. "Thank you." I rest my head on Toothless's as one last tear escapes from my eye. I feel a hand on my arm, and look up into Tuffnut's face. "Can you help them get this dragon on the board?" He asks, I nod my head, and we all get to work. As I encourage Toothless to get up, trying not to stare at the wire in his fin, I listen to the plans. The village woman who had looked at Hiccup only needed a moment to know that he needed to get to Gothi, so Stoick and Snotlout were flying to Berk as fast as possible. Fishlegs was headed to Berk for some more boats, and the twins were tying ropes to the board that Toothless was now lying on, so they and myself could fly him to Berk. Of course, Gobber would also come with us. "So how do you know that dragons name?" Gobber asks me as were in the air. "Hiccup told a, a couple days ago." "You've known about that thing for a couple of days?!" I nod my head, and Gobber stops talking. That worries me. But I don't dwell on it. Not to terribly later, we arrive on Berk, where Gobber and I work on Toothless. I wanted to go see Hiccup, but I'm told no, and am told to go home and go to bed. I don't listen though. Instead, I lie down next to Toothless, who is lying on a couple of blankets right next to Hiccup's house, and Stormfly, which is the name I gave my Nadder, lays down by my other side. In no time at all, I'm asleep.
"It's time to get up Lass." I open my eye's to see Gobber looking at me. Sometime in the night, Toothless had put his wing around me, so I had to gently crawl out from under it. "Can I see him now?" Gobber looks at me with sad eyes. "You can. But, I need to warn you about something first lass." "Gobber?" "He lost part of his left leg, his prosthetic ends a couple inches or so below his knee." I fight tears. I don't know what' wrong with me, but that's all I've been doing for the past day, and slowly make my way into Hiccup's hut. Stoick greets me with a smile, and I see Gothi get rid of an old bandage. Apparently she was just changing them. I ignore the urge to see Hiccup's leg and instead go up towards the top of his bed. "When do you think he'll wake up?" Gohi shrugs her shoulders, before getting back to work. She draws the blanket back a little bit, and I see the bandage, but quickly turn my sttention back to Hiccup's face. I lean down and give him a kiss on the cheek. "That's for staying alive," I whisper, aware of Stoicks gaze on me, "Now please wake up soon." As I straighten up I see Stoick quickly look away quickly. "Astrid, I need your help." I was there the rest of the day. Discussing his ideas for what we would do now that he was declaring that the Dragons and Vikings would live together. Hiccup was going to love what we are doing. I just knew it.
It's been close to a month since Hiccup had the fight with the Red Death. Every day Snotlout says that by the time Hiccup wakes up, everybody will be better at dragon flying, and Hiccup will be back to being the worst. Everyday, I punch Snotlout, because I know that Hiccup will probably show us all up. He had been flying Toothless for a while before I found out about them, but I didn't tell the others. A commotion near Hiccup's hut draws my attention. Vikings running towards there because, "Hiccup" I whisper, and once again I fight tears, of joy. I run towards the house, and push my way through the crowd, I overhear Gobber say something. Hiccup responds, and the moment he finishes his sentence I lightly punch his shoulder. He looks at me and I fight a smile, "That's..for scaring me." "Wh-what is it always going to be like this cause-" I cut him off by planting a kiss on his lips. I try not to blush as I hear all the ooh's from the adults. "I could get use to it." Okay, Hiccup's remark does make me blush. Someone calls out Night Fury, and I watch as Toothless races out of the hut. I laugh at his eagerness, and then help Hiccup strap on the saddle, and tail. We spend the rest of the day racing. And it was one of the best days I remember.
Astrid leaned back in her seat, and Erika gave her a smile. "Why didn't you ever tell us that before Mama?" the ten year old asked. Astrid sighed and looked at the faces in the room. Her eldest children, 13 year old twins Starla and Stoick, were sitting next to Hiccup, Erika sat next to her, 7 year old Wolf sat on the floor by the fire pit, 3 year old little Hiccup sat on his father's lap, and she herself was holding the baby. Astrid looked at Hiccup, whose eye's were glimmering with unshed tears, probably matching her own. "I once told you're father about it, but I just never found the right time to tell all of you the story." Astrid laughed as she heard wind beat up against the door, "Who knew it would be during a snow storm!" The children laughed, and Hiccup stood up, "No nigh-night daddy." Little Hiccup whispered, "Yes nigh-night." Hiccup looked at the other children. "Bed time. All of you." Starla hesitated, "Is it okay if I stay up just a bit longer to talk with Mama, Daddy?" Hiccup nodded his head, and led the other children to their rooms. Astrid got up and laid Forest in the cradle, gently putting a blanket on her sleeping daughter. "What's going on Star?" "I just wondered, how did you stay so strong when Daddy was sick like that?" Astrid sighed, and out of habit reached out to tuck a lock of her daughters auburn behind her ear. "I just had to believe that he would get better. It was hard, and it's something I hope you never have to go through." Starla bit her lip, "But what if I do?" "Starla, is there something going on that you're not telling me?" Starla lightly laughed, "No, it's nothing." Standing up, the girl bent to give her mother a quick peck on the cheek. "Night Mama." "Night Star." Astrid smiled as she watched her daughter climb the stairs to the loft she shared with Erika, the boys were down the hall. She was thankful for the day, all those years ago, when Toothless saved Hiccup. Thankful that Hiccup had woken up. Astrid heard a thump from the boys room, and giggled as she heard chuckling. And, she was thankful for all the prosthetic legs her husband had to make.
