So I'm rewriting this because the original was really BAD and it was a good idea and I didn't want to just give it up. I hope you guys like it better this way! (I can rewrite it a million times)

Author's P.O.V.

As they rode off into the night, trying to ignore the cries of Gobber and many other villagers, Astrid didn't know how they got into this situation. Wait, yes she did...

There they were, the two of them, Hiccup and Astrid. Both standing beside the ocean and looking into each other's eyes, in a silence that he wouldn't describe as anything except perfect. She exhaled and turned her head to look away from him. That flight, dragons aren't as heartless and dangerous as she thought before, as she was taught they were. The blonde breathed out a laugh as Toothless jumped around.

How could she live in a world where they kill these amazing creatures?

She grew up knowing that they were ruthless and unneeded but here she was, years of knowing one thing was being overthrown by minutes of an amazing experience, of which she was still trying to comprehend. What was she doing to do when she got back? Tell them all that dragons should deserve to live, that they should just stop killing them? They would think that she was a psychopath.

That's when it hit her.

She didn't want to go back

Astrid looked back to Hiccup, she could tell he was thinking of millions of different things, he was nervous about what she was going to say, what she was going to do. "Are you serious about running away?" he was taken aback by the question, definitely not one of the many things he thought she would say. Clearing his throat he shook his head "No-not unless you want me to?" Gods, what did he just say? Astrid raised an eyebrow in response.

"I want you too, just not alone." Hiccup looked more than surprised, in fact, he seemed frightened. "I want to go with you, you and Toothless anyways." it wasn't a suggestion, more like a command. He understood completely on why she wanted to, yet he didn't. She had everything he ever wanted. Acceptance. So why would she want to leave that behind?

The boy just nodded and looked up into the sky. "Okay." he mounted Toothless and Astrid hesitated at first. "Can I have my own dragon?" she felt so awkward, not regretful in any means, she knew what she wanted, and that was to leave this place, Berk, their home. His brows furrowed as he looked over at her once again. "Yeah, I know just the place." he extended his hand, this time she was much more confident and joined him on the Night Fury.

Hiccup took her to the last place she expected, the arena. Quickly, and quietly the three entered. He looked at the four caged dragons, trying to see which one would be perfect for Astrid. The instant he saw her he ran to it. "A Deadly Nadder?" Astrid questioned, approaching the dragon. Hiccup gave her a lopsided smile and nodded.

"Hey, hey it's okay." At first, she thought he was talking to her, but it was the dragon. he silently told her to extend her hand, the blonde did so and deeply exhaled, turning her head away thinking the dragon would kill her any moment now. To her surprise, she felt the dragon's nose as it connected with her hand. Astrid's eyes widened in surprise and she turned back to her dragon, but Hiccup wasn't next to her. Instead, he was letting the other three dragons out.

"Let's go before they-"

"What are ya doin'?" Gobber was feet away from the academy. Astrid quickly jumped onto Stormfly and took off to the sky soon after Hiccup did. "Who are ya!?"

Hope you guys liked that one more than the original! I'm thinking about doing a time skip and leading into the second movie and just going on from there?

Review! It makes my day!
