Chapter 1: See you.. Never

Hiccup laid in the cove with her best friend, and only friend, Toothless. She got up stretching, and yawning while her dragon did the same.

'Who knew dragons are so comfy'. Hiccup thought to herself.

Looking up at the sky she saw that the sun would soon set, she better get back "See ya later, Toothless" laying back down, Toothless cooed a goodbye before going back to sleep.

"Who knew dragons are so lazy" I chuckled teasingly. Toothless simply made a chuffing noise. Smiling, I walked back to the crevice that would lead out of the cove. Ducking under the shield, I smiled at the memories me and Toothless had made. Although I was still a little upset about Toothless's missing tail fin, after all I did that to him, but as far as I could tell toothless held no grudge against what I had done to him. After all I made it up to him by making a mechanical tail fin, although, I had to operate it by using a foot pedal while flying with him.

Just as the sun set I had walked out of the forest heading for my house. I opened the door quietly hoping my dad was in bed by know. He wasn't. Thankfully, his back was facing me 'maybe I can make it up the stairs and to my bed' I thought hopefully. Quite as a mouse, or at least I hoped I was, I climbed up the steps, "Hiccup we need to talk" I stopped with a flinch, slowly climbing down.

"Yeah I need to tell you something to dad". Standing in front of him I gather up my courage "Dad, I don't want to fight dragons," while he says something else. Simultaneously we say "What?"

"You go first" Stoick, my dad says

"No, you go first" I reply.

"Alright, you get your wish. Dragon training. You start in the morning".

"Oh man, I should have went first. Dad I don't want to kill dragons, that and I can't"

"Oh, but you will" he said laughing a little at what his daughter had just said.

Handing her an axe that she can barely lift he says "that's for training tomorrow"

"But dad I don't want to fight or kill dragons anymore"

He puts on his serious face, gesturing to the axe he says "when you carry this axe, you carry all of 'll walk like us, talk like us, fight like us. No more of this" he says

"You just gestured to all of me," I reply dryly.

"Deal?"

"This conversation is feeling very one sided."

"Deal!"

I glared at him before heading up the stairs to my bedroom. I slam the door shut, flopping down on the bed sighing.

Ever since meeting Toothless and learning that dragons aren't crazy animals trying to kill us all, killing a dragon just seemed wrong. Groaning 'everything is so messed up'. I couldn't go to dragon training class. Just as I made up my mind I was brought back to the present when my dad called me down stairs. Reluctantly I walked down stairs to see my dad ready for another hunt for the nest. Well time to say good bye, I guess.

"Train hard, I'll be back, probably" he said as he opened the door to leave "I'll be here, maybe". Just as he closed the door I whispered "or not at all" then ran upstairs.

I grabbed what I called a backpack. Usually vikings just us giant baskets with straps on them to carry stuff, basketpack, but with me being so small I had to come up with something else. So I invented the backpack. It was made entirely of leather, the bottom was water proof. I stuffed some close in leaving a space to put something else there. Then I grabbed my satchel putting my notebook and some of my notes and inventions, including toothless tail, then I ran down stairs grabbing dried strips of meat and some bread I hurried out the door went to the blacksmiths put the extra tools I made in the backpack and ran to the woods, toward the cove where toothless is.

After what seemed like an eternity I finally reached the cove. Gasping for a breath I yelled "TOOTHLESS!" not even caring how quiet I was. Toothless came running worrying about his rider sniffing her all over to see if there were any injuries, once he was satisfied he sat down and looked at her

"What are you doing here so late?" he knew she didn't quite understand dragonesse but she would get what he was talking about.

"We are leaving" she replied to his warble and cooing sound, reaching for his fake tail fin she hurried checked it over and put it on him. Grabbing her stuff she hurriedly hopped on him. "Ok bud let's go" and Toothless jumped into the night sky and they disappeared into the night sky.
