Hi everyone this will be my first ever fan fiction, I have never written fan fiction, so please write suggestions on how I should improve it. Also suggestions on if I should put details into Hiccups seven years away from Berk or skip right after seven years when he returns.

"No no, it totally makes sense," Astrid began as Toothless was landing gracefully.

"It's like a giant beehive. They are the workers and that is their queen. It controls them. Let's find your dad!"

"No! No, not yet. They'll kill Toothless. Astrid, we have to think this through, carefully."

"Hiccup, we just discovered the dragon's nest. The thing we've been after since Vikings first sailed here. And you want to keep it a secret? To protect your pet dragon? Are you serious?"

His answer was frank, but with sadness. "Yes."

There was a long pause, as understanding came to Astrid. Her eyes glowed in the soft moonlight, a thing of such beauty that Hiccup simply stared. Toothless bent down to drink from the nearby pool of water. The two continued looking at each other with deadly serious looks. Then, she relaxed.

"Ok." She gave in. It was clear how important Toothless was to Hiccup and how much he had risked in befriending him. His importance was also dawning on Astrid. Everything they had ever known about dragons was wrong. They were peaceful; playful even. Toothless had done his best to impress her with his flying abilities. Why would the most terrifying dragon in all of vikingdom do that?

Astrid knew now that she wanted as much to do with Toothless and Hiccup as possible. It had taken bravery to tame the most dangerous beast that had ever come to Berk. In fact, she had begun to realize, during the flight, that she had always held an interest in Hiccup. She would never have admitted it to herself or to anyone else, but she knew that the attraction had always been there.

Perhaps it was this weird attraction that had caused her stern attitude towards him in the past. Don't the adults always tell kids that when someone picks on you it's because they like you? She wasn't sure if that was the case yet, but feelings had definitely begun to form as they flew through the night.

"Then what do we do?" She asked lightly, feeling every word as she gave control of the situation to Hiccup; control that she wasn't used to giving away.

"Just give me until tomorrow. I'll figure something out." His head turned and he stared at the ground.

"Ok."

She was worried now. Hiccup, through his mastery of the dragons, had won the right to slay a dragon in front of the entire village. It was this right that he had bested her to obtain. This "final exam" of dragon training was happening tomorrow, whether she wanted it to or not.

"Hiccup, your final exam is tomorrow. You're going to have to kill the dragon."

Her voice was thick with concern. It was all she could do not to choke up. Odin must have a strange sense of humor, she thought. To give Hiccup such a gift only to take it from him. And to show her what love could be like – if that's indeed what she was feeling.

"I know." He was taking off his flying harness.

"What are you going to do?" She clutched his forearm. The worry in her voice now palpable and reflected in her eyes.

"I'm going to have to make them see that dragons are only dangerous because we attack them." She squeezed his arm tighter, laying her head against his shoulder. Hiccup liked this very much. Astrid, however, was growing more fearful, as if a cloud of melancholy was settling over her. They stayed like this a few moments more and parted. He moved toward his dragon while she just watched him. Her heart was growing for him by the second.

She began to turn around to leave but hesitated. He was taking the saddle off of Toothless. She approached him from behind and tapped him on the shoulder. He spun around and without a word; she punched him on the right arm.

"Ow! What was that for?" Hiccup chirped. Toothless gave a low growl.

"That was for kidnapping me."

Hiccup looked indignantly at Astrid and he began a retort, but he couldn't make it. She grabbed his shirt and pulled him toward her. Her lips smacked into his. The kiss was quick and was over as soon as it began; which wasn't nearly long enough in Hiccup's estimation. He was too stunned to speak.

"And that… was for everything else."

Astrid turned and ran off into the darkness of the woods. Unbeknownst to Hiccup, tears were steadily falling down Astrid's cheeks. Her emotions were all over the place. A lot had happened in a very short amount of time. To top it off, she had a pervading sense of dread. His exam wasn't going to end well, that much she knew. How could it? She ran with all her might, trying to outrun her fear. It wasn't working.

Hiccup started to think what he should do about the final exam that he has tomorrow, as he thinks about it the Toothless comes to Hiccup and worries about what his rider is thinking about and what he is feeling. Hiccup looks at Toothless, he pets him behind ear as he thinking that he should leave or show the tribe truth about dragons that they fight only to protect themselves if they do not want to get eaten themselves by that queen.

After the deep thought, Hiccup decided that it would be best for everyone else that he left the island of Berk, that no one care for him because everyone hated him, thought of him as an outcast, that he should get eaten by dragon, and villagers call him the Hiccup the Useless.

Hiccup looks at Toothless and tells him "Toothless we need to leave this island, because I do not want you do be discovered by villagers and get killed, so we should leave and return in seven years."

Toothless nods in agreement, as Hiccup start to get the gear he brought for the trip and puts them on the saddle. Toothless looks at Hiccup and asks him with the look "Hiccup are you sure about this, after seven years this village will be gone and dragons would not stop attacking the humans. And there will not be any peace between Vikings and dragons". Toothless looks worried that he and hiccup would be too late to stop the war.

Hiccup stares at Toothless and thinks about what just Toothless told him. He thinks again and comes to conclusion. "Toothless of course we won't leave the dragons under the control, we will defeat the queen about two years and then we go travel around the world. We shall become stronger, find people like us who got banished by their own tribe, and make the dragon riders group."

Toothless looks at his rider, he is happy about what Hiccup just told him. Toothless thinks that Hiccup will be savior to his kind, and that he is the true friend that he was looking for these years. Toothless comes to Hiccup and hugs him and says to him by the look.

"Hiccup thank you, you will be always my true friend, you looked after me even if the other Vikings would have killed me, you have spared my life when you had chance to kill me, you learned truth about dragons and stick for what is right and not what your village says you need to do. When I couldn't fly you have fixed my tale and have given back my flight. And thank you for going such ways to save my own kind." Toothless quietly cries as he said those words to his rider and waited for response from Hiccup.

Hiccup smiled at what his friend just told him and replies with "Toothless you were the first friend that would care for me; you were always there for me while others do not care for me, I am glad that I let you go instead of killing you, you showed me truth of dragons that they are controlled, I will always stay with you until the very end of our lives." Hiccup tries to cry, but he reminds himself that Vikings do not cry.

So, Hiccup grabs the flying gear, puts on the Toothless, and grabs all the stuff he prepared for the trip. Toothless bends down to let the rider sit on saddle and prepares for flying.

Hiccup looks around to see if he forgot something, and he forgets about the troubles he went through his life in village. Prepares for flying far away from Berk.

Hiccup then tells Toothless "Let's go buddy, we need to go far away from this place. Let's fly". And with the final word Toothless flies into the night sky.

Hiccup looks back at Berk one last time, before looking forward and flying North.

Well I tried my best in writing my first chapter, so please review and give me any suggestions, if you said it's bad or good. I will promise to do better on my next chapter. And if you want for the next chapters to be in detail of Hiccups seven years away from Berk please tell me countries and see what I can do.
