Okay so! I haven't written a FanFiction in a really long time! So no hating.

The second thing! This is my first How To Train your Dragon Fanfic. That being said! I hope you like it!

Disclaimer: I do not own anything from how to train your Dragon. The tittle of this fic is a quote by Spock From Star Trek, Which I did not know before I looked it up so that's awesome.

The Good of The Many Outweighs The Good of The Few

Chapter One - A Beautiful Night

"Astrid." I threw another pebble. "Astrid." I whispered a little louder. I was outside Astrid's house, trying to wake her up. She had fallen asleep before sunset and missed our evening fly together. I saw a light be light in her room and saw her open the window with one hand, a candle in the other.

"Hiccup?" I heard her call down sluggishly. "What are you doing?"

"Did you forget something?" I whispered afraid her parents would wake. I looked away from her at the house. No lights. Good.

"Oh! Our fly!" she stopped for a moment and I looked back up at her. She had placed the candle on the sill and was looking down at me. "How long has the sun been set?"

As she spoke the candle cast shadows on her face. "Not very long, come down. I have a surprise." I called back up to her.

She looked at me confused for a moment then smiled. "Okay" Without warning she blew out the candle and jumped over the sill. This came to no surprise to me and I held out my arms. She landed perfectly in my arms. I gave her a quick peck on her cheek and set her down. "Where are we going?"

I grabbed her hand and started pulling her to where I left Toothless. "I told you! It's a surprise." As we walked past a couple houses I could see Toothless form walking back and forth. "Toothless." I whispered. His head jerked to where we were walking and he smiled his wacky grin. He started to take a step towards us then stopped, frowned then sat down.

"What's he doing?" Astrid asked from behind me.

"I told him to stay because he's too loud and would wake everyone up."

Astrid laughed slightly. "The Night Fury being too loud? He's supposed to be one of the stealthiest dragons around. Maybe we should re-write that part of the book too."

"He is!" I exclaimed defending my best friend. Then chuckled. "Just not right when he wakes up." We had reached him and I extended my hand out to give him a scratch behind his ear, just to let him know he was a good boy.

"Get up?" Astrid asked confused. She looked at him and started scratching under his chin. He closed his eyes in content. I held my breath. "Did you fall asleep too Toothless?" she turned to me "I guess you were the only one who remembered the fly." I let out my breath and smiled.

"Yeah thanks for nothing old pal." I said while lightly punching his chin. He opened his eyes and tilted his head slightly in confusion. I gave him a look that told him to drop it. I glanced at Astrid to make sure she hadn't seen, then jumped up on Toothless' back. I hooked my metal foot in and attached my safety line. I looked down and held out my hand to Astrid. She took it and I pulled her up effortlessly behind me. She wrapped her arms around my stomach tight.

"Let's go buddy!" Toothless flapped hid big wings twice and we were off. I steered him towards the sea and away from Berk. I felt something jab into my side and I looked behind me.

"The dragon stables are that way!" she pointed behind her.

"Really?! Huh! You'd think the Chief of Berk would know where the dragon's sleep!" I smiled at her.

She smiled back

Then punched me in the shoulder.

"Gah! Ow!" I couldn't lie and say that her punches didn't hurt. She actually left bruises. "Sorry, were not going to get Stormfly. I um" looked away from her and focused on my flying. "Thought we could just fly together." I felt her arms tightened around my waist and she placed her head on my shoulder.

As I flew over the dark sea water I took a deep breath in. This was my favorite part of the day. It's usually just Toothless and I, soaring over the calm water. I could feel Astrid's head get heavier on my shoulder and her grip around my waist loosen. I knew she would fall back asleep if I left her alone. I smiled. She could sometimes be the most predictable unpredictable person ever. If that makes any sense. I looked up at the familiar stars. Before Toothless, I'd spend my nights staring at the night sky charting all the stars and naming the patterns I saw. Since I didn't have any friends, it helped keep my mind occupied and I forgot how lonely I was.

I saw the cliff's I was waiting for and steered towards them. "Right over there Toothless. You remember?" Toothless grunted in response and flew to where I had pointed. As he landed I had already taken off my safety line and was working on my foot. My movements were purposefully slow to try not to wake Astrid. I brought my leg over to the other side slowly and held her in place so that she wouldn't move too much. I slid my hand under her knee, the other around her shoulders and jumped down. She began to stir as I sat us both down. I was sitting behind her with my legs open on either side of her to keep her warm. My arms were wrapped around her keeping her close to my chest.

"hmm, sorry, I must have fallen asleep."

"Yeah, it's okay. It actually helped with my surprise." She turned to look at me in confusion. Then she looked past my head and noticed where we were.

"Are we… Are we in a cave?" she asked pushing away from me slightly and started looking around. She got up and walked to the entrance of the cave and peered over the edge to the rocky water below. "How on earth did you find this place?" She crossed her arms over her chest and started to shiver from the cold night air. I got up and followed her to the entrance and wrapped my arms back around her.

"Toothless and I were flying one day and a violent storm brew up out of nowhere. We tried to fly threw it but the wind was too strong and I couldn't see. Toothless somehow saw this cave and flew in it." I looked behind me where Toothless was curled up. He was facing away from us, almost like he was looking deeper into the cave. Making sure we were safe. "We spent the night here, waiting for the storm to let up. We didn't do very much, I talked to him and he had various responses back to me." I stopped, thinking back to that night. "We watched the sunrise together. It was really beautiful."

Astrid continued to stare at the night sky. "You should bring me here again. Next time right before sunrise. So we can watch it together." I smiled as she said this.

"We won't have to come back."

"What?" she turned to me, looking a little sad.

"Look" I nodded back to the sky. We waited for a couple moment, then a light orange glow began to appear over the horizon. Astrid gasped.

"I lied to you when I said it was just after dark. You slept through the whole night and I …um… well thought it would be nice to watch the sunrise with you." Astrid turned around and kissed me, then rested her head on my shoulder.

"You're such a suck Hiccup." I laughed as she turned back around to watch the sunrise over the water. We watched as the sea turned from a light orange to a deep fiery red. For a moment there was only the two of us.

No one else.

That was the last happy memory I have with her.

So this story gets really ansgty and grafic from this point on. If you want to see this as a cute Hiccup and Astrid one-shot you most definitely can just ignore the last line.

Anyway's if people like this is will continue, if not then I failed at How to Train Your Dragon fanfiction. Thanks for reading!
