As Astrid and Heather getting acquitted, Heather is quite shocked about what they were doing after going into separate ways. 

"Wow, you had been busy. Finding the Red Death isn't all too easy. I'm still can't believe you are from Berk, an isle that is known throughout the isles that hated dragons. Never in my wildest dreams you were from there." 

Astrid blushed, rubbing her head, "It's the honest truth. I'm so sorry that I haven't been in touch with you." 

Heather waves, as it doesn't bother her in the slightest. "Nah, it's fine. If I was in your shoes, it would be kind of awkward of settling in." 

As the vikings smiled at one other, a familiar squawk was heard, as Astrid turns around to see Stormfly and Hiccup with the rest of the Riders. 

"Hic?!? Why is everyone here?" The rider asked, looking at the riders with confusion and wonder. 

Hiccup puts his hands to his hips, "That's a swell hello to your boyfriend, Valkyrie. Geez, c'mon haven't you figured it out by now, that you can't hide from us? We came to-" 

Heather waves at him, "Hi, I guess these are your friends, including your lover, I assume. I'm Heather. " 

Astrid said, "We can talk things inside for a while. Besides, I do owe you guys an explanation why I left Berk in a hurry." 

As the Riders followed the girls, Heather showed them to their rooms. Hiccup was astounding of Astrid meeting a fellow rider. 

As he was about to change his attire, Heather accidentally opens his door, "Ah! Sorry, I didn't mean to barge in!" 

Hiccup laugh, "It's fine! You can come in, I was just changing my clothes. " As she went inside, she saw the scars that he had been through by his village. 

Horrified by the scars on his back, she touches them. "These scars..." 

"Oh. You saw them. I guess that Astrid told you about our history with our tradition of killing dragons.

My dad... he was stubborn and didn't listen to me. I tried to warn him and protecting Astrid and Toothless is my responsibility. " 

"I didn't know. It seems so hard for parents to accept the fact that their kids are so special." She replied. 

"You're right, I suppose." Hiccup replied to the rider. Even though that it was truly a experience he would never forget, as that it truly make Astrid and Hic's relationship deeper than before. 

A bond that evoles from a person being bullied and a person who befriend her and sworn to protect. 

As that the vikings were getting along, Astrid interrupts their talk. "Ahem." 

"Astrid!" Both of them being surprised of her appearance. 

"C'mon, the riders are going into a brief meeting. I deserved an explanation of why I decided to come to seek Heather's aid." 

"Is it going to be bad?" Hic asked as Heather said, "More than you ever imagined. This enemy is much more terrifying than Red Death herself."
