The island of Berk was peacefully normal like any other day with vikings launching their ships to go out fishing or feeding their dragons. The vikings of Berk were training with blades or sharing a keg of ale with each other. Gobber the Belch's dragon, a Monstrous Nightmare, was consuming almost a barrel of beer; from Gobber's own stores!

Hiccup and Astrid were walking through the villages with Toothless and Astrid's Bad Nadder behind them. On very rare occasions, Astrid and Hiccup were holding hands as they were walking, ignoring the grins from passing vikings.

"It's great that the worst of the Winter have passed already." Hiccup said.

"Yeah", Astrid agreed. "Hey Hiccup, what about we take a ride?"

Hiccup smiled at her. "Sure!" He turned to Toothless. "What about you guys?"

Toothless gave his toothless grin while the Bad Nadder nodded his head. However, before they could do anything, they heard a cry from the docks:

"Ship ahoy!"

Hiccup and Astrid turned to where the sound came from as curious vikings half-run towards the docks. Normally the look-out will only announced an approaching of a ship if it wasn't their own. Look as if Berk is receiving some visitors.

Hiccup and Astrid trotted towards the docks with their dragons behind them. They saw what was causing the commotions. A wooden ship with red sails were approaching the docks. The ship had reached the docks and one one of the rowers threw a rope so someone could tie it.

Hiccup and Astrid managed to elbow their way through the front when a slim figure stood on the edge of the boat. That figure happened to be a girl same age as Hiccup or Astrid. She had long, shoulder-lenght, blonde hair that flowed loosely and blue-sea eyes. She wore a red-colored dress that ended to her knees and it was sleeveless with grey-coloured furs covering her shoulders. A jade necklace hung around her neck, her ears were pierced with golden bangles and around her hips was a short sword.  To everyone, she was the incarnation of Sjöfn, the Viking's Goddess of Love.

To the surprise of everybody, the girl caught Hiccup's face in the crowd and as light as a cat, jumped onto him. Before the landed onto Hiccup, Hiccup uttered in surprise,

"Camicazi?"

Camicazi prevented him from saying anymore as she now sat on him. "Hiccup!" she squealed playfully, hugging Hiccup's head. "Long time no see!!!  How are you? I heard that you tame dragons and stuff! How did you do it?" She frowned when her leg felt something metal and looked down. She saw Hiccup's metal leg. "By Freya!" she cried. "What happened to your leg?"

Hiccup finally found his breath. "Camicazi, it's good to see you again. What are you doing here?"

"I came to visit", Camicazi laughed as she allowed Hiccup to stand up. "Since you never visit me for so many years! And, there were rumors about you defeating one giant of a dragon! Was it all true!"

"Yeah", Hiccup nodded. Toothless chose to appear at that moment and stood besides Hiccup. He gave Camicazi a growl.

"Who is this?" Camicazi asked, in awe.

"Camicazi", Hiccup introduced. "This is Toothless. Toothless, Camicazi."

Toothless was hesitant when Camicazi held her hands to touch him but after glancing at Hiccup, he allowed her to touch him. Soon, Camicazi was scratching behind his ears. Camicazi smiled.

"Let be friends Toothless!" she said cheerfully.

Toothless surprisingly gave a dragon-like purr and now, the crowd that had gathered to witness this unexpected arrival murmured to each other;

"It's Camicazi!"

"You mean that viking princess?"

"She always mistook Hiccup for a Roman, right?"

"I can't believe she grew up to be a fine lady."

Astrid, feeling she was being left out, moved at Hiccup's side. Camicazi finally noticed her.

"And you're?"

"Astrid", Astrid answered shortly. "Hiccup's girlfriend!"

There were a gasp from not only Hiccup but from the crowd. Camicazi raised an eye-brow.

"Girlfriend? Hiccup, aren't we childhood friends? I thought I'll be yours intended?"

Astrid stepped in front of Hiccup. "I'm not letting some pretty-face having him!"

"Nor am I allowing a brainless whore touching him!" Camicazi retorted.

"Say that to my face!" said Astrid as stood chest to chest with Camicazi, both pair of eyes burning with jealousy. Hiccup tried to break them apart.

"Come on girls!" he said. "Don't cause a scene here..."

"Hiccup!" Astrid snapped. "Don't butt into this!"

"Don't talk to my Hiccup like that!" Camicazi fired back.

"What's going on here?" boomed a voice. The crowd respectively parted away for a towering figure who wore a mailed shirt, a fur cloak and a horned helmet. His shaggy, red beard reached until his stomach and his green eyes scanned the scene. The two girls stopped fighting.

Stoick the Vast was surprise at what he saw, then it changed to a genuine welcome, "Why, isn't it Camicazi?"

                                                                        *

"So you're here for a visit?" Stoick said as he poured goats milk for Camicazi. "How's your mother these days?"

"She is fine", Camicazi said cooly, accepting the mug of goats milk. "Actually, it was her who suggested that I made this trip."

Stoick had brought Camicazi to the Great Hall to give her refreshments of Goats milk and bread and cheese. This was a normal gesture of welcome in viking society. Hiccup and Astrid followed them into the Great Hall.

Hiccup leaned towards Astrid. "Camicazi's mother is the leader of her own tribe."

Astrid nodded and glared at Camicazi who was continue saying, "Actually, I came here for no idle visiting. I came to propose a marriage."

There were a stunned silence in the room. Finally, Stoick broke the silence, "With who?"

"Well", Camicazi said. "I'm a daughter of a viking chieftain. Soooo, I must marry someone with the same status as mine." She grinned at everybody. "Take a wild guess who it is!"

"Erm...", Hiccup began uncertainly. "Would that be me?"

"Right!" Camicazi cried cheerfully. Then her smile faded when she saw Hiccup's crestfallen face. She pouted, "It seems you disapproved."  

"W-well, n-no", Hiccup stammered. "I-it j-just..." He took one glance at Astrid's burning face and then turned towards Stoick. "Dad, can I have a word with you?"

Stoick, who also felt the tensed atmosphere in the room, nodded and then excused himself, "Ladies, can you give me a moment?"

With that father and son entered a private room of the Great Hall.

                                                                              *

"Dad!" Hiccup was the first to cry. "What're we going to do?"

To Hiccup, his father was fierce, stern, gruff yet kind in any way. Now, for the first time in his Hiccup's life, his father was uncomfortable.

"Son", he began. "I know you're in love with Astrid but you and Camicazi are childhood friends..."

"I know! I know!" Hiccup said, throwing his arms. "But now I'm in a dilemma! How am I going to choose one of them without getting murdered?"

Stoick put on a thoughtful face before replying, "What about marrying the two of them?"

"WHAT?!" Hiccup almost shouted. Luckily for him, the rooms were sound-proofed.

"Well", Stoick started uncomfortably. "Polygamy is... discouraged but not forbidden in the viking community. And... the idea of getting more grandchildren is really... appealing."

Hiccup was gaping at him. Stoick, seeing his son's reaction, shrugged and muttered, "It was worth a try."

                                                                          *

"What do you see in Hiccup anyway?" Astrid asked abruptly, her curiosity too great.

Camicazi sipped a bit of her goats milk before answering. "Well, he is... nice, smart, a good craftsman and a very good pupil! He was my best history student!"

"History student?" Astrid asked, frowning.

"Well", Camicazi added. "My only history student. I taught him tactics and history of war. I'm a better teacher then Gobber come to think of it."

"I'm also Hiccup's combat tutor", Astrid said.

"Bah!" Camicazi said dismissively. "Anybody can swing a sword but it does not win battles. But this", she tapped her head. "What wins battles."

"In a civilized world maybe", Astrid agreed with a smirk. "But in a viking society, the only post you'll be getting are either a housewife or a medicine woman."

"At least I'm using my intelligence to good use", Camicazi retorted. "Not like a brainless ox causing havoc by swinging an axe!"

"You take that back!" Astrid snarled as she stood up and gripped her axe. "One more word out of you and I'm so going to brain you with my axe!"

Camicazi also stood up, half unsheathing her sword. "You're not the only one that can fight! Like Hiccup, I too am an expert swords-woman!"

Before they could exchange hits, the door to the room where Stoick and Hiccup went into opened.

                                                                                 *

"All right", Stoick said. "The best cause of actions is to invite Camicazi to stay here in Berk for some time until we figure something out."

Hiccup frowned. "Is that the best option?"

Stoick frowned terribly. "Do you have a better plan?"

Hiccup was about to open his mouth suggesting they should insist Camicazi should return home but he quickly shut his mouth. That was a bad move for his career as the next chieftain, not to mention a wrong thing to do in diplomacy.

"As I was saying", Stoick continued. "You will invite her to stay and...."

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!" Hiccup interrupted. "Me? What about you?"

"But this is your responsibilities!"

"But you're the chieftain!"

"But you're the chieftain's heir!"

"But they will respect the decision of the chieftain!"

"Fine!" Stoick announced exasperated. "We will both invite her! Deal?"

Hiccup nodded and Stoick pushed the door opened.

                                                                             *

Astrid and Camicazi quickly sat down when Stoick and Hiccup reentered the Great Hall.

"Ahem", Stoick coughed. "Camicazi, we're honored that you laid a proposal of marriage to my on..."

Stoick gulped when he caught Astrid's glare. Hiccup quickly continued, "However, since it is our customs that the marriage is illegible due to young age, we can't marry until the next two years. So..."

Stoick and Hiccup swallowed before replying in unison, "We will like to invite you to stay in Berk as long as you desire."

Astrid was staring at the both of them, don't know whether to smile at them for postponing the marriage or scream at them for letting Camicazi to stay with them. Camicazi, however, stood up and smiled at them.

"Chieftain Stoick", Camicazi replied. "Hiccup, I will accept your kind invitation to stay on your lovely island."

Stoick smiled. "I'll make sure that you and your crew will have the best lodging we have to offer. Right now, the villagers are feeding them and making them comfortable. Meanwhile, I'll ask Hiccup to escort you to your lodging. You must be tired from your travels."

Hiccup looked at his father in surprise. Since when was that in the agreement. But then he realized something; politeness towards a guest.

"My thanks my chieftain", Camicazi said. "I'm indeed tired." She wrapped her arms around Hiccup's left arm, causing Astrid to scowl. "Will you be so kind, Hiccup?"

"S-sure!" Hiccup stammered and led Camicazi towards the door. Just when they stepped out of the Great Hall, Astrid flung herself on Hiccup's right arm.

"Hiccup! Please escort me home too!"

"Er..." Hiccup stammered. "O-okay!"

Camicazi was tugging onto Hiccup's left arm. "Take me first!"

"No, me!" Astrid said pulling Hiccup's right arm.

Hiccup now knew what a rope used for tug-of-war felt like as the two blondes pulled his body into two different directions. He had to think of what to say before he got torn apart. Finally, he knew what to say.

"Wait! We can both go together! Dad said that the lodging for Camicazi is next to Astrid house!"

The two girls stopped pulling him. Hiccup finally breath in some air and rubbing his overstretched shoulders.

"Fine!" Astrid said.

"Fine by me!" Camicazi replied.

Hiccup breath an inner sigh of relief. They walked towards the two buildings; the lodge for guest and Astrid's own house. They didn't talk much during their walk since the two girls continued to stare daggers at each other. Thank the gods that dad had the sense not to offer Camicazi their own room.

They stopped between the two houses. Camicazi hold Hiccup's hand and said, "Thank you again for inviting me to stay, Hiccup. I hope you will give me a tour around the island tomorrow."

"Anytime", Hiccup returned the smile.

Camicazi pecked him on the cheeks and biding him goodnight, skipped towards her lodging. Hiccup stared at her until he received a punch from Astrid.

"That", she announced. "Is for having another girlfriend!"

Before Hiccup could say that Camicazi wasn't his girlfriend, Astrid gave him a kiss on the cheek. "That's for reminding you you have a better one here in Berk!"

   With a grim smile, she jogged towards her own house then waving goodbye to Hiccup. Making sure that both girls are safe in their own buildings, Hiccup walked slowly home. Toothless was eating his dinner when Hiccup finally reached his room.

Hiccup put his hands on his hips and sighed, "What have I gotten myself into?"

Toothless just shrugged as if to say, 'Go solve your own love problems.'

    


  


  
Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters in this story. These characters belong to DreamWorks.

Camicazi belongs to Cressida Cowell.

I know it is going to be difficult mixing the book and the movie together but I just couldn't resist writing a love triangle between Astrid. Hiccup and Camicazi.

The Camicazi in this story is based on the peculiar fan-art ([link]) so I'm assuming that's the correct one.

Also, I'm also assuming that the Viking's and Gaul's traditions are almost similar. Well, they do serve Goats milk, bread and cheese in viking society right?

Yes, I know I messed up with Camicazi's personality about her being a tactician or a swords-woman.

Anyway, I'm going to have another vote between Astrid and Camicazi. Who do YOU think should be Hiccup's intended? Would it be the brave Astrid or the cunning Camicazi? Do you want Hiccup to be pamper by Camicazi or toughen by Astrid?

The choice, is yours readers!
