"Okay! Next up is Hiccup and Astrid! Singing Partners in Crime!" Gobber, the shows judge for the battle of the bands, announced.

"You ready?" Hiccup whispered by the stage stairs.

"Ready." Astrid replied as she grinned.

He smiled and they walked onto the dark stage and walked to their microphones. Everyone started cheering and clapping as they watched the pairs dark figures get into position.

Hiccup looked to the audio guy and nodded, signaling for him to start the music. He looked at Astrid, she looked back at him and they smiled.

Just as the music started, a light appeared from above her, illuminating her in purple light. Astrid put one hand on the microphone and the other one just below it on the stand, and started singing.

You'll never take us alive!

She stopped singing as another purple light appeared, now over Hiccup, both his hands on his microphone.

We swore that death will do us part, they'll call our crimes a work of art.

You'll never take us alive!

We'll live like spoiled royalty, lovers and partners...

Astrid leaned herself closer to the microphone, now singing with him.

Partners in crime!

Partners in crime!

They both pulled back from their microphones and glanced at each other as the music played. They shared a smile as the crowd startled cheering. But they soon quieted down as Hiccup started singing again.

This, the tale of, reckless love, living a life of crime on the run. A brush to a gun, to paint these states green, and red.

Everybody freeze!

Nobody move!

Put the money in the bag!

Or we will shoot!

Astrid smiled proudly at her boyfriend as he continued to sing, taking the microphone off the stand and walking toward her.

Empty out the vault, and me and my doll will be on our way.

She faced him as he neared, taking her microphone off the stand, and walked toward him, starting to sing.

Our paper faces flood the streets.

They were now inches apart from each other, Hiccup having to look down slightly, as he was taller than her.

And if the heat comes close enough to burn, then we'll play with fire 'cause...

They whipped around from each and walked back towards their original positions.

You'll never take us alive!

We swore that death will do us part, they'll call our crimes a work of art!

You'll never take us alive!

We'll live like spoiled royalty, lovers and partners, partners in crime!

Partners in crime!

Hiccup hushed his voice and sung into the microphone, trying to sound like background singing.

Oh, just try to catch us!

He looked at Astrid as he continued to sing, now in his normal singing voice.

Here we find our omnipotent outlaws, fall behind the grind tonight. Left unaware that the lone store owner, won't go down without a fight.

He stopped, letting Astrid join.

Where we gonna go?

He's got us pinned!

Baby I'm a little scared.

Now don't you quit!

He's sounded the alarm, I hear the sirens closing in!

Our paper faces flood the streets. And if the heat come close enough to burn then we're burning this place to the ground 'cause...

Hiccup watched as Astrid started singing.

You'll never take us alive!

We swore that death will do us part, they'll call our crimes a work of art!

You'll never take us alive!

We'll live like spoiled royalty, lovers and partners, partners in crime!

Hiccup stepped back as the lights dimmed off and a voice came over the speakers.

This is the police department! Come out with your hands up! We have the place surrounded! Put your weapons down, put your weapons down! Ready men? Aim. Fire!

After a bit of music, Astrid stepped up to the mic.

The sky's are black with lead filled rain.

A morbid painting on display.

This is the night, the young love died.

Buried at each other's side.

You never took us alive!

We swore that death would do us part, so now we haunt you in the dark!

You never took us alive!

We live as ghosts among these streets. Lovers and partners, partners in crime!

Partners in crime!

Astrid grabbed the microphone and joined him.

Partners in crime!

The music ended and everyone started cheering and clapping. Hiccup and Astrid were both breathing heavily as they walked toward each other. He enveloped her in a tight hug and whispered, "You did awesome, M'lady."

As they pulled apart, Astrid said, "Not as great as you, you were amazing Hiccup!"

He was about to object when Gobbers voice came over the speakers. "Okay, time to see who won the battle of the bands this year."

The crowd quieted down as he whispered with the judges. After a bit of talking, he walked onto the stage and announced, "The winner of this years battle of the bands is,"

Astrid grabbed Hiccup's hand and squeezed it. He squeezed back.

"Hiccup and Astrid!"

"Yes! Oh my gods we did it babe!" Astrid shrieked and practically jumped onto Hiccup, hugging him, as the crowd started cheering again.

He chuckled, grabbing her waist and spinning her around. As he set her down, their faces inches apart, he smiled.

"Just kiss already!" A voice, probably Tuffnut, yelled from the crowd of people.

Almost instantly, Astrid kissed Hiccup, her arms around his neck. His eyes widened as he realized what she was doing, this was his very first kiss! Hiccup closed his eyes and kissed back. Then, they pulled apart, Hiccup's hands still around Astrid's waist.

He smiled and sang softly, "We'll live like spoiled royalty."

"Lovers and partners." Astrid joined in, then sang together.

"Parents in crime."
