Summer time on the edge wasn't always the best. Especially when it's so hot, you feel as though your skin is melting.
The dragon riders all had gathered in the club house that afternoon, the room filled with complaints about the heat.
"Well, why don't we take a trip down to the beach just to cool off and relax a bit. Considering we've been training all morning, I think we deserve it," Hiccup asked, leaning back on his chair, looking at the others.
Murmurs of 'definitely', 'let's go' and 'come on then' all sounded as the teens walked out of the clubhouse and into the blazing sun.
When reaching the beach, Snotlout immediately ran to the ocean, jumping in and floating on top. "Now this is relaxing!" He called to the others who were still on land.
The twins had taken to building their very own graves in in the sand, making sure they were big enough to fit themselves in and to burry anyone else if needed.
Fishlegs had gone over to Meatlug to lean against her to take a break but had decided against it when the sand burnt his skin beneath him.
Hiccup and Astrid had claimed a spot on the edge of a rather large rock facing towards 'The Great Beyond'. As they sat down, the sand from the Twins shovels flung a load at them, then, with good aim, all landed on top of Hiccup's head.
Astrid couldn't help but burst into laughter at his facial expression, but turned away, covering her face, when he shook his head like a wet dog, to get it all off.
Still laughing, Astrid began to brush out the loose bits of sand and then began to create a third braid in his hair.
"Uhhh, what are you doing?" He asked, turning to look at her.
"What does it look like I'm doing, muttonhead," She mumbled, furrowing her brows in concentration.
Hiccup gave her yet another look of uncomfortableness, but never the less, let her carry on anyway.
"Yo, lovebirds, you comin' or what?" Snotlout called from in the water, not too far away where he, and the others were swimming.
Without hesitation, Hiccup leapt off the rock and dived into the water below, popping his head up not long after.
Astrid laughed, and did the same.
The gang stayed at the beach until the sun had gone down, telling each other crazy stories and just having fun.
'Cause at the end of the day, being with each other is what really matters.
