So what happens when Michelle and Gaby find a real live Night Fury. This is a story of friendship, a secret discovery that could change the world, and the power of Fangirlness.
Chapter1: Michelle's point of view
The sun shone bright on the day. The sky was clear blue with a few clouds going by.
It was warm out here and it felt good. I was simply walking right next to my best friend Gabriella ,or Gaby as people call her, by the park. I was happy because it was finally summer vacation. Not only that but after this summer I'm going to high school. It's really cool cuz' the high school I'm going to is closer to my home and I can have a fresh start.
Anyway so me and Gaby walked to the woods that was near the park. The trees surrounded us giving us some good shade.
"I'm so glad that it's summer." I said smiling to her.
"Yeah and we can spend the whole summer together."
"Yeah I know I mean since you moved I kinda missed you."
Gaby and I were best friends since Pre-K and she was really the main person I'd talk to but she moved away at the end of sixth grade and went to a different school. I was a little lonely since the beginning of seventh grade. Whenever I get to school early or at recess I just stood in the corner and do nothing. Nothing but think about things. That was until when I went to the movies with my parents to see "A Christmas Carol" and I saw a trailer for the movie "How To Train Your Dragon" after the movies I looked it up on wikipedia and I thought of how amazing the friendship between a dragon and a person is. I then developed an interest in dragons. Especially the stories of people befriending them. I then felt less lonely throughout the rest of my days in school. I just sit around and read a book or draw or write in my notebook that I call my personal journal. I felt a little like an outsider but I fell ok with that. Of course Gaby sometimes would visit me or I would visit her in New Jersey where she now lives. This summer however Gaby and her parents came to stay through the whole summer. They stayed at a house not too far from ours so we can see each other every day.
"Sorry."
"That's ok."
We then walked deeper in the woods. Our conversation was suddenly interrupted by a loud roar.
"What...what was that?" Gaby asked.
"I...I don't know" I said. "Let's go see."
We then walked past a few trees and bushes. It took a while but soon we came across a cove. I never thought I'd seen one before. It was beautiful. It had a waterfall and a lake. Rocks were surrounding the background and green grass covered the ground.
It actually looks like the Toothless Cove from How To Train Your Dragon.
"Wow!" I exclaimed as we entered in. "This is beautiful!"
"Yeah it looks nice." agreed my friend.
Our admiration was interrupted by a growl coming from somewhere here.
"Hello...is anyone there?" Gaby called but a growl was the only response.
"Who's there?" I called we both turned our backs to look around.
Another growl came from behind us causing us to flinch. We both turned and both our mouths dropped open.
"Michelle...That's...that's a...a" Gaby stammered.
"Night Fury." I finished in awe and it was true. For there, standing in front of us with a threatening look on it's face was a dragon, but not just any dragon. A Night Fury. The rarest and most intelligent dragon in How To Train Your Dragon. It looked quite like Toothless with it's sleek black scales to the tip of it's tail fins. It had the same bat like wings and yellowish green eyes. It growled at us and it's retractable teeth was shown.
"Umm hi." I said awkwardly to the dragon and it just growled at us in a threatening way.
"Michelle be careful." Gabby warned me from behind.
"It's ok. Really" I calmed her.
I then stepped closer to the dragon. "It's ok. We mean you no harm." I said. The dragon just stared at us obviously not believing me.
"I promise." I said placing a hand over my heart.
The dragon stared at us for a while. It approached closer to me and sniffed me. I stood still for a while and smiled a little at it. It then came to Gaby who flinched.
"It's ok Gaby just stand still." Gaby nodded and stood still like I did.
The dragon stayed a distance from her and sniffed her like it did to me. It then stood back and looked at both of us. There was an awkward silence before the dragon walked to the other side of the cove, burned a patch of grass, and fell asleep.
We stared at the dragon for a while until Gaby noticed an opening between two rocks that looked like a way out.
"Michelle come on." Gaby snapped me out of my thoughts and we both went through the rocks.
As we got out I noticed a one of the rocks with a clear view of the cove. Cautiously I went to the rock and saw the cove with the Night Fury. I quietly took out my IPhone and took silent pictures. I always kept my IPhone on vibrate and silenced it. Just something I got used to in school since I got it. After getting some good pictures of the cove and the Night Fury, I quickly putted my IPhone away and ran out until I saw Gaby outside the woods.
"Where were you? I was worried!" she asked.
"Sorry I just took some pictures look." I showed her my photos of the cove and the dragon.
"Wow your good." she commented.
"Thanks." I said smiling.
Gaby shook her head probably trying to shake the thought off. "Seriously Michelle."
"I know I'm sorry but can you believe it Gaby? We found A REAL LIVE NIGHT FURY!"
I felt so excited.
"I KNOW RIGHT!" Gaby agreed.
I noticed it was getting late. I took out my IPhone and looked at the time.
"7:00? Oh Gods we both better get home!"
"Oh right yeah!" We quickly then ran to our houses. We booth shouted goodbye to each other and went in different directions.
I quickly knocked on the door and my mom opened it. "Hey Michelle." my mom greeted.
"Hi mom." I then just went up to my stairs.
"Don't you want some dinner?" she called.
"Not hungry."
"Pasta?" she suggested.
I shrugged thinking why not. "Ok!"
"It'll be ready soon."
I went to my room and opened the door. I simply them just lay on my bed. Thinking about this whole day. I couldn't believe it. I met a real live Night Fury. This could be every How To Train Your Dragon fans dream come true. I took out my IPhone and looked again at the pictures of the cove and the Night Fury. I stared at them for a while. I then thought for a moment. Should I go see it again? I mean it's the first time anyone seen a real live dragon. Or at least a real live dragon from How To Train Your Dragon.
I think the dragon looked like it trusted us. Maybe I could see it again. I mean I am curious. I wonder if Gaby would come with me. Well she's not as big of How To Train Your Dragon fangirl as I am. She prefers Pirates of the Caribbean. Then again she is my best friend. Maybe she would like to go with me. Why not.
"MICHELLE! PASTA IS READY!" Mom's shouting snapped me out of my thought.
"COMING!" I called back.
I quickly then took out my plug to charge my IPhone. I then ran downstairs and smelled the familiar smell of pasta with ketchup. My favorite dinner.
"Thank you." I said grabbing a spoon and having a glass of Fruit punch to go with it.
"You welcome." she said and then went to her computer.
I ate quite quickly considering I was actually hungry and my mind was in thought.
After dinner I washed the dishes and went back to my room, but before going to my room I went to the shelves containing our dvds and blu rays. I looked around until sure enough. I found the blu ray of How to Train Your Dragon. I picked it out, smiled at it, and then went back to my room. Before setting the blu ray player on. I texted Gaby to see if she's alright.
Hey Gaby are you there?
Yeah I'm alright. I didn't tell anyone did you?
Nope but do you think we should?
Nah. Let's keep it a secret but what do you think?
I thought about it. Should we keep this a secret. Well if we tell someone would they believe us even with my pictures. No they might think they're fake or something and if they do believe us, what will they do to the Night Fury? Probably they'll just do experiments on it and hurt it. Yeah. I think we'll just keep it a secret.
Yeah let's keep it a secret. Just between us ok?
Ok g2g see ya.
Yeah see ya. Oh! and I'll send you the pictures.
K
I sent Gaby the picture and putted the IPhone away seeing it was fully charged. I then set the blu ray player on and putted the movie in. I pressed play once the menu came up and I then sat up on my bed watching the movie.
This is Berk. It's twelve days North of hopeless and a view degrees South of freezing to death. It located solidly on the Merain of Misery. My village in a word sturdy and it's been here for seven generatins but every single building is new. We have fishing, hunting, and a charming view of the sunset. The only problems are the pests. You see most places have mice or mosquitoes. We have ...
DRAGONS. I laughed at humor of this movie. Always funny.
Tomorrow I'll find that dragon again. I said in my head as I watched the best movie ever.
I most definitely will. After the movie I then wrote all that happened to me today in my diary. It was a little book I got at a Pajama Party I went to at school one day. I then spent the last few minutes reading some How T Train Your Dragon Fanfiction. After that my mom said goodnight to me and then I went to sleep, but the strange thing is as I slept I dreamed about me and Gaby riding the Night Fury in the sky. I felt so free and happy as was Gaby and the Night Fury. Somehow Test Drive was playing in the background but I didn't care. I was so exhilarated I could have sworn I laughed when I suddenly woke up.
