Hey guys, hope everything is going good for you. 

I was having some inspiration for this story, so thought I would give a shot at starting it. 

This is a Royal AU of Hiccstrid - so Astrid is a princess and Hiccup is the royal guard, and it will carry on to their kids lives as well as teenagers - I have some ideas for this story that I'm very excited about! 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was a sunny day, with the heat beating down on them in the Royal Gardens. Two kids were chasing each other around the garden. A little boy with green eyes and auburn hair caught up to the blonde hair, blue eyed little girl and tagged her. 

"Gotcha!" He exclaimed and the little girl squealed and laughed. 

"Time out! I need a drink." The little girl said walking over to the table that was set up with water and cookies for the kids. Hiccup followed her and grabbed a drink himself. Two men were walking towards the children as a lady-maid was bringing out a new jug of water. The little girl saw her dad and smiled. 

"Daddy!" She called and ran over to him, hugging his legs. The man smiled at her. 

"Astrid, be careful." He said to her and then returned to talking to the man next to him. Astrid sighed and walked back to her friend. 

"So Stoick, have you choosen someone to take over for you someday?" The King - Magni - Astrid's father - asked his Head Royal Guard. Stoick let out a laugh. 

"Hiccup, my boy! Come here." Stoick called. The little boy walked over to his father and looked at the king. 

"Your Highness." He said in his small voice. 

"Hiccup will take over for me when the time comes, I'll train him well, as will the other guards. You have my word on that." Stoick told the King. Magni nodded. 

"Very well, but will need to change that name." Magni told him. 

"Hiccup, is more of a nickname, his birthname is Hayden." Stoick told Magni. 

"Very well then, I have duties to return too. As do you." Magni told Stoick. They said their farewells and then Magni left to go back into the castle. 

Stoick looked at Hiccup. "Come on son, we need to get you home." 

"Can I say goodbye to Astrid first." Hiccup asked. Stoick nodded. Hiccup ran over to Astrid. The kids said goodbye and hugged each other and Hiccup walked back to his dad. 

Astrid's lady-maid told Astrid it was time for her reading lesson. Astrid sighed and watched Hiccup leave with his dad.

Astrid was staring at her book, a page full of words stared back at her. She threw it to the floor frustrated. 

"I can't read it, Myra." Astrid said to her lady-maid. Myra smirked at her. Picking the book up off the floor. 

"You can Astrid, although I find your tutors think you can read more than your age." Myra said looking at the spine of the book. It was some old legend book, a book Myra read recently, and had a hard time with. She wasn't sure why they expected an 8-year-old to read it on their own, and write about what they read. Royal, or not. 

Myra kneeled down to Astrid slouched on the chair in her sitting area in her bedroom. "

"Do you want me to draw you a bubble bath?"  Myra asked the blonde haired girl. Astrid smiled at her and nodded. Myra smiled and went to the bathroom in Astrid's room to get her bath ready. 

Later on Astrid was sitting in the bathtub with her hair down. Myra was washing Astrid's hair. 

"You really like that boy, don't you?" Myra asked Astrid. Astrid looked at her and smiled. Myra saw her blue eyes light up. 

"Hiccup?! He's my best friend! I'm gonna marry him someday." Astrid told Myra. Myra smiled at the girl not wanting to tell her that she was already probably promised to some prince she hadn't even met yet. 

Myra had lived in the palace as a servant, her whole life. She was born in the servants quarters even. Her mother still worked in the kitchen, but she didn't know who her father was. Myra's mother had told her it was just a one time thing with a guy. But by how some of these guards treated them, Myra had kind of figured it out on her own. 

Myra became a ladies-maid when she was only fourteen, they assigned her to Astrid instantly and she had been with the girl ever since. She adored Astrid, she spent more time with the girl, then the girls own parents did. She told her stories, and was teaching her things that she didn't have tutors for. Like how to sew, or bake and cook. Myra would sneak her into the kitchen sometimes just for cooking lessons with Myra's mother. The servants didn't care for the King and Queen, due to how they treated their workers, Astrid's parents - Magni and Ragna, along with Astrid's younger sister, Annika, treated them awful as well. Annika was only five at the moment. Even though Astrid was only eight, she treated all the servants with respect and adored them. 

Myra felt some water hit her face and snapped out of her thoughts. Hearing Astrid giggle. She looked at the girl. 

"Myra, do you have a boy?" Astrid asked her. 

"A boy?" Myra questioned back while rinsing the girls hair out. 

"Yeah, like a boy you love?" Astrid asked. Myra smiled at her. 

"Not yet. Maybe someday." Myra told her. Astrid nodded. Myra finished with Astrid's hair and helped her out of the tub. Drying her with a towel and getting her dressed for bed. She grabbed the hairbrush off of Astrid's vanity. "Do we want a braid today?" Myra asked. Astrid nodded as Myra brushed and pulled Astrid's hair back into a braid. Then got her into bed for the night.

Stoick was putting Hiccup to bed in their house. They lived near the castle, Stoick usually stayed in the castle, had his own quarters and bedroom. But he had the house and felt like it was better for Hiccup to live in the house. He had a ladies-maid as well that the Royal Family assigned to the Haddock family. 

"I have to get back to the Castle, so Lena is going to be here with you." Stoick told his son. Hiccup nodded. Stoick got up and left. Hiccup looked at Lena. 

"Lena, can you tell me a story?" Hiccup asked. Lena looked at the little boy and walked over to the side of the bed. She handed him the stuffed dragon that had fell on the floor. The one his mother made for him. 

"Alright." Lena said and smiled. She started to tell him a story. 

Lena was basically a mom to Hiccup. She was around 20 years old, and had been assigned to them as young as twelve. She adored Hiccup though. His mother had died shortly after he was born. His father had been distant from his son ever since. Lena took care of and saw the boy more than Stoick did. She usually brought him to the Castle to see Astrid as well. Lena finished the story. 

"Lena, do you think I'll fall in love someday." Hiccup asked her.  Lena smiled at him. 

"Of course." Lena told him. 

"I want to fall in love with Astrid." He told her. Lena looked at him. 

"Maybe you will someday. But for now, you need to go to sleep." Lena told him. Tucking him in more. 

"Goodnight." Hiccup told her. 

"Goodnight." Lena smiled at him and kissed his head. She got up and left his room closing the door.
