Hiccup's P.O.V.

"I WILL KILL YOU!" I shout as the guys shove me into Snotlout's car.

"We checked with you're dad, he knows where you are, he's fine with it," Tuffnut says as they drive off. 

Soon, we pull up to a mansion with a whole lot of multi-colored lights and lasers going around the place. Snotlout opened his door to let my ears be blasted by music. I try to cover my ears but Tuffnut grabs my arm and pulls me out before Snotlout grabs my other arm and they pull me to the gate, Fishlegs tailing. There was a big guy wearing black jeans and a shirt that showed the curves of his bulging muscles...and he was wearing black sunglasses at night.

"Uh, Tuffnut and gang, I believe we are on the list," Tuffnut says, attempting to look cool. I could feel the mans glare as he nods us in. 

Snotlout and Tuffnut drag me through the gate before the music was turned up. I paused as the gate closed and the guys finally let go of me, scanning the giant yard. There was a giant pool, stretching out in front of me, garden lights hanging from the trees and rafters of a small pool house, a table with a bunch of junk food. For instance: Chips, soda, brownies, cookies, lemon bars, pretzels, chocolate fondue fountain with a variety of fruits around it's base, cheese fondue, pizzas, and cupcakes. Was there anything healthy? I don't think so. There was a DJ table on the lawn and more lights hanging from a grove of pine trees.

"Tuffnut! Snotlout, Fishlegs, Toothpick! So glad you could make it!" Astrid cheered happily as she walked up to us from something that looked like a dance floor. She was wearing ripped jeans and a light blue crop-top with black boots.

"Nicknames huh?" I mutter before getting elbowed in the gut by Snotlout. Astrid went behind us and threw her arms around mine and Snotlout's shoulders as she slowly walked us deeper into the yard.

"So, everyone's on the dance floor right now, but in a few minutes, my gals and I are planning an all out cannon ball into the pool, if you would like to join us. Please help yourselves to refreshments; we have exotic fruits at the fondue stations, stuff you never knew existed. If you need help finding anything, just ask me or Eret, we are offering tours of the house in about an hour. Enjoy yourselves!" she runs between us and back to the fold-out plastic, wood-look-alike floor.

"What the heck?" I say, staring after her in shock.

"Yup. Glad we made you put your swim suit on now?" Fishlegs asks as he walks after the blond girl.

"I'm not going over there," I say and start walking to the grove of pine trees. 

"Nope! You're stayin' with us!" Snotlout says as he grabs my collar and pulls me back. "No trees," he orders as he releases me, "It's a new rule." I groan before going to the snack table. People were every where and the music was really starting to make my ears hurt. Suddenly, Snotlout and Eret grabbed me and pulled me to the side of the pool, near Eret's friends and Astrid's group.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, what are you doing?!" I shout as Snotlout and Eret lift me off my feet and onto their shoulders.

"3...2...1!" Astrid cheered before her group jumps into the water and the guys throw me after them before jumping in as well, with battle cries. I pushed myself to the surface before pulling air into my lungs, shaking the chlorine from my eyes. "Loosen up, Toothpick!" Astrid laughed as she splashed me with water. I snapped my hands down on the surface to return the splash but, even though it got in her eyes, she let out a laugh. That much chlorine in my eyes would have made me scream for sure. Suddenly, everyone in the pool got into a splash fight, causing me to swim to the edge and climb out.

One hour later

Snotlout grabbed my wrist as we merged with the group that was following Astrid and Eret across the large yard to the giant house. "Why are Astrid and Eret always together?" I ask Snotlout from the corner of my mouth.

"Why? You jealous?" he asks teasingly.

"No. It would just prove my point that she's a slut," I hiss.

"She's not a slut. She's never had a boyfriend," Snotlout tells me.

"Yeah, right," I scoff.

"Look, Hiccup, just because you like rules, and she's more laid back, it doesn't mean that she's completely horizontal," he snaps.

Astrid's P.O.V.

I lead the group into my house as Eret told them it's history. "Hey, Eret, can you take it from here?" I whisper as we walk through the spacious living room

"It's not my house; I can't give this tour solo," he says.

"You know more about it than me. You're practically born here!" I hiss.

"Alright, fine. Just go do what ever you need to do," he says and puts his hand on my head before pushing me toward the door.

"Hey, wonder where Astrid's going," Toothpick said loudly.

"If you must know," I said, spinning around to face him, "I am going to do my slutty routine." I accidentally let a scowl fall across my face and stormed upstairs. I went to the bathroom and pulled out my phone before calling the hospital. 

(A=Astrid, R=Receptionist)

R: Hello, you've reached Berk Healthcare Center, how can I help you?

A: Hi, this is Astrid Hofferson. I'm calling to see if there were any changes in Alex Hofferson's condition.

R: *Types on computer* It looks like his vitals are steady, he's breathing on his own, but no signs of waking up. I'm sorry.

A: O-okay. Than-thank you.

I hang up with a sigh before leaning on the counter. All day Alex is the only thing I've been able to think about. I took a wash cloth out of the towel cabinet and get it wet with cold water. I then fold it into fourths and press it to my eye line. Tears were slipping from my eyes and mixing with the water in the cloth. I know this morning I was saying how stupid he was, but that was before his friends told me he didn't dare them. And it wasn't his friends who ran him over. I jumped as a hard knock sounded at the door.

"Astrid? You in there?" a voice called.

"Not any more," I say as I walk out and push passed Toothpick.

"Well, Eret's looking for you," he says as he walks after me.

"Okay, thanks for telling me. Enjoying the party?" I ask as we walk down the stairs.

"I'd have more enjoyment if I had access to the pine grove," he grumbles.

"It's open campus, Toothpick. You can go where ever. Why do you think there's a couple doing it in my room as we speak?" I ask.

"Ew. And my friends said I had to stay in their line of fire," he sighs. I pause and turn to face him.

"Toothpick. You shouldn't let your friends boss you around. You're your own person. You control what you do, think, and say, so don't let everyone tell you what you can and can't do," I tell him and his eyes widen as he stared at me in shocked confusion.

"M-must you continue to call me Toothpick?" he asks after a pause and I let out an amused huff.

"See you around, Toothpick," I say before turning around and continuing down the stairs.

"Adios, Slut," he replies and I ignore it as I go outside and avoid the crowd as I go for a grove of trees.
