OK, so this is the first story in my one-shot series.
The pairing will be Danny x Heather, in the Dragons: Race to the Edge universe.
Quick note; Danny will have his powers in some stories, and will not in others.
In this one, he will not have any powers.
Enjoy!
In the night sky, a black figure could be seen orbiting a Dragon Hunter ship, but only if you look hard enough. Something Dragon Hunters are too stupid to do. Most people would think its Hiccup and Toothless, and they would be wrong. This dragon was too big to be a Night Fury. As this dragon was about to attack, a high pitched whistle stopped it, the whistle of a Night Fury. The dragon looked in the direction it was coming from, and saw 5 dragons flying towards the ship, the leader, a Night Fury, was shooting at the ship.
"So much for subtlety." A voice said behind the mysterious dragon. The dragon let out a laugh and dove to join the dragons that were attacking. When the dragon got close, it could see the 5 dragons each had a rider. This surprised the dragon, since it thought itself to be the only dragon that had a rider. This shocked its rider as well as you could see him now if you looked at the dragon. He thought himself to be the only dragon rider. They stopped their dive just a few yards away from the ship, still far enough away to not be seen though.
"Well, looks like we're not alone girl." The rider said to his dragon, who cooed in response.
"Let's shock them as much as we are." He said through his mask. He was wearing black leather pants, black boots a dark blue tunic, a black leather hooded cuirass over the tunic, and a mask that covers the bottom half of his face.
The dragon gave a roar and streamlined towards the ship, and as she got close, she opened her mouth and a bolt of lightning shot out, destroying the winches that were holding the Monstrous Nightmare.
"It's the Phantom!" One of the Hunters yelled.
"A Skrill!" The girl on the Deadly Nadder exclaimed in shock as she got a good look at the pitch black dragon.
"You don't say!" The Nightmare's rider shot at her, sarcastically, but in just as much shock.
"You can ogle at my dragon, or we can help the dragons on that ship!" The Skrill's rider shouted, shocking the other dragon riders. They all shook it off and nodded.
"OK, riders on the Nightmare, Zippleback and Nadder, keep the Hunters distracted and draw their fire away!" The Skrill's rider, Phantom, ordered.
"Gronckle boy, destroy the winches! Night Fury, with me!" Phantom ordered. They all looked at him with confused faces.
"Who are you to order us? Maybe I have a better plan!" The Nightmare's rider exclaimed.
"What a baby!" Phantom thought.
"Snotlout, just do as he says!" The Night Fury's rider hissed. They all nodded and went to do as Phantom said.
"Thanks, this way!" Phantom said to the rider, who appeared to be the leader, and flew to the side of the ships.
"What do we do?" he asked Phantom, who pointed to particular parts of the ship.
"Shot there. They're weak spots in the ship's structure." Phantom said. The leader nodded and obeyed.
"Toothless, Plasma Blast!" He instructed his dragon.
"Nightling, Shock Wave!" Phantom instructed his dragon. The 2 dragons fired at the same time, creating massive holes for the trapped dragons to fly out of.
"Nice!" The leader exclaimed.
"Thanks." Phantom said with a smirk under his mask. The pair released the remaining dragons and flew off, the others close behind.
"Nicely done. Name's Phantom, and this is Nightling." Phantom introduced.
"I'm Hiccup, this is Toothless." Hiccup said with a smile. The remaining riders introduced themselves.
"So, I take it you have bad blood with Viggo?" Astrid, the girl riding the Nadder, Stormfly, asked. Phantom nodded in response.
"The man kills innocent dragons and sells them. It's despicable." Phantom growled. They all nodded in response. Phantom flew close to Toothless and petted his snout.
"You better watch out for Viggo, he'd probably sell his own Mother for a Night Fury." Phantom advised as Toothless purred. The other riders laughed.
"Do you maybe want to join us? We have a base where we live and plan our attacks. We also have plenty of space." Hiccup offered. Phantom thought for a moment.
"That sounds great. We have a common goal and enemy. Plus, it'll be nice to not live alone anymore." Phantom said. They all smiled, except one rider.
"Hiccup, you can't just trust this guy out of nowhere!" Snotlout yelled in protest. They all rolled their eyes.
"Snotlout, he helped us free the dragons, and Toothless trusts him. That's enough for me." Hiccup said. They all nodded in agreement and Phantom smiled gratefully.
"This place is awesome." Phantom said as they landed on Dragon's Edge.
"Glad you like it. The Dragon pens are over there, there's a spot you can build a hut, and we'll show you the rest later." Hiccup said, pointing as he spoke. Phantom nodded and took his mask and hood off.
"I suppose if I'm gonna stay here, I should tell you my name." He said as he pulled his hood, revealing his raven black hair, and ocean blue eyes. Ruffnut and Astrid blushed a little. They had never seen someone so handsome before.
"Even so, I like Hiccup." Astrid thought, shaking herself out of her daze. Ruffnut just kept drooling.
"I didn't think you're real name was Phantom." Hiccup laughed. Phantom laughed too.
"Phantom was an alias the Dragon Hunters gave me because i always free their dragons before they see me." Phantom explained. The Riders nodded.
"Name's Danny." He said with a smile. They all looked at him.
"It's short for Daniel, an English name." Danny explained. They all nodded in understanding.
"You can sleep in my hut with me." Hiccup said. Pha- Danny nodded and smiled gratefully.
"OK gang, let's get some sleep." Hiccup announced. The riders nodded and flew to the dragon pens, and then walked to their huts.
"So, you're English?" Hiccup asked. Danny nodded.
"You speak Norse so well though, you hardly have accent. It is their though." Hiccup commented as they entered his hut.
"I've been speaking Norse for a long time. My parents died in a dragon raid when I was 6, so I was living with Vikings until I was 10. Then, I met Nightling and went my own way." Danny explained as he set his sleeping bag, that he took off of Nightling's saddle, down on the ground.
"Wow. So, how old are you now?" Hiccup asked.
"19." Danny shrugged.
"You're older than all of us then. Fishlegs is the oldest, and he's 18. So are Astrid and I. Snotlout and the twins are 17." Hiccup said. Danny laughed.
"I hope that doesn't create any awkwardness." Danny said. Hiccup shook his head.
"It shouldn't. Come on, go to sleep, we have training tomorrow. We'll get you acquainted with our formations and such." Hiccup said as he took off his boots, er boot, and lay down. Danny nodded and did they same.
"Goodnight." Danny said.
"Goodnight Danny." Hiccup responded.
~~Timeskip~~
It's been a few weeks since Danny arrived at the Edge. He's proven to be a valuable asset to the Riders. He gets along with Hiccup and Astrid the most. Astrid has someone she can talk about weapons with, and Hiccup has a fellow inventor he can work with. He talks with Fishlegs about dragons a lot, and also pulls pranks with the twins. All in all, he fits in well, as does Nightling. He only doesn't get along with Snotlout, who seems to think everybody likes Danny more than him.
Danny, Hiccup and Astrid were talking about what to do about Viggo, when they noticed the twins and Snotlout chasing a Terrible Terror.
"Nice to see they're doing training on their own." Hiccup mused with a smile.
"Not really like them though, is it?" Astrid asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I agree." Danny added. They looked at each other for a moment and ran after the 3 lunatics to Fishlegs' hut, finding them all restraining Fishlegs.
"Hey! What is going on with you 3?" Hiccup asked with his arms crossed.
"And why are you all on top of Fishlegs?" Danny asked, looking confused.
"The Fish-Man has been getting quite a few Terror-Mails recently." Tuffnut said, holding up a rolled up letter.
"And since we didn't send them…" Snotlout trailed off as they all got up.
"That begs the question, who has our sly little friend here communicating with on the..." Tuffnut trailed off, not knowing what to say.
"Sly?" Danny asked, shrugging his shoulders.
"So, we decided to take matters into our own hands, since he won't give up a name." Snotlout finished. Fishlegs rolled his eyes.
"OK if you must know, I've been sending letters to a certain someone who has been returning them in kind. Happy?" Fishlegs explained.
"Does that mean…?" Danny asked.
"Fishy's got a girlfriend!" Snotlout teased.
"More than I can say for you." Danny said to Snotlout with a grin, making the others laugh. Snotlout just huffed and turned away.
"Who is she Fishlegs?" Astrid asked.
"I must admit, I'm curious too as to whom you're courting." Hiccup said. Fishlegs shook his head.
"It's not like that. It's more of a 'brother-sister' thing." Fishlegs explained. They all nodded in understanding.
"It's Heather." Fishlegs said, shocking the Riders, sans Danny.
"Who's Heather?" Danny asked. The others gave Danny a quick explanation of who Heather is.
"I see." Danny said, thinking her story over.
"You're telling me, my future wife, the future 'Mrs Lout,' who just disappeared, you knew where she is, and told no one?" Snotlout exclaimed in anger.
"Yep, pretty much." Fishlegs deadpanned.
"I can't imagine why." Danny remarked with a roll of his eyes, making Astrid and Hiccup laugh.
"Guys, Heather's been on her own for a while. We should have known we'd hear from her soon." Hiccup said.
"But she and I have that connection. She should have written to me." Snotlout complained.
"How many letters Fishlegs?" Astrid asked. Fishlegs sighed and opened a chest, revealing about 50 or so letters. The others looked at them with wide eyes and picked a few up, except for Danny, who rolled his eyes.
"Go ahead, read them all." Fishlegs said sarcastically and went to take Meatlug for a flight. Danny just rolled his eyes again and headed to the forge.
"I'm gonna go sharpen my sword." Danny said as he mounted Nightling. He received no response and went to the forge.
After a few hours, Danny flew to the main hall to find everybody discussing Heather.
"What's going on?" Danny asked.
"We're contemplating offering Heather the chance to be a Rider." Hiccup explained.
"We can't just let anyone waltz in and be a Rider." Tuffnut said.
"You let me waltz in." Danny said with crossed arms and a raised eyebrow. They all looked sheepish. Danny sighed.
"OK, simple solution. Heather spends a few days a here, to hang out and we can see how she's doing. Maybe she helps us on a mission or 2, and then we see what she wants to do. Nothing permanent without all of us agreeing, Heather included." Danny said. They all looked at him and nodded.
"Good plan Danny." Hiccup said with a smile. Danny returned the smile and mounted Nightling.
"Its settled then. Fishlegs, send her a letter. I'm headed to my hut, I need to sleep." Danny said and took off.
"I hate to say it Hiccup, but Danny sometimes makes a good leader. Better than you at times." Fishlegs commented. Hiccup nodded in agreement.
"I agree. I'm thinking of asking him to be my 2nd in command." Hiccup mused. Everybody nodded in agreement, even Snotlout. He may not get along with Danny, but he does respect him.
"She's here!" Fishlegs announced to the Riders. They all flew to the landing platform where Heather was waiting to greet them, having already said hello to Hiccup, who was there when she landed. Fishlegs approached, running, since he was eager to see his little sister.
"Fishlegs!" Heather exclaimed happily.
"Hey." Fisahlegs breathed out.
"Thank you so much for the letters." Heather said gratefully. Fishlegs smiled back and nodded.
"We should sing the Dragon's Edge welcome song!" Tuffnut exclaimed.
"As far as I know, such a song doesn't exist." A voice said from above them. They all looked up to see Nightling hovering above them. She landed and Danny dismounted her, pulling his hood down. He took 1 look at Heather, and blushed.
"Uh hi, you must be Heather." Danny said with a friendly smile. Heather also blushed.
"Yeah." She said with a nod.
"I'm the new guy, Danny. I'm English that should explain my name. This is Nightling." Danny said. Heather gave a slight chuckle.
"It does. This is Windshear." She said, gesturing to her dragon.
"Heather, do you want to set your gear down? You're rooming with me." Astrid offered. Heather smiled and nodded.
"I'd love to hear your song later Tuff." Heather said. Tuffnut nodded and began to stretch his vocal cords with tongue twisters.
"And I'd like to get to know you better Danny. Later though." Heather said. Danny nodded with a smile.
"I look forward to it." He said with a gentlemanly bow as he kissed her hand. He mounted Nightling and flew off, leaving Heather doing an impeccable imitation of a tomato. Astrid giggled a little and dragged Heather to her hut.
"You could have come back in the first place. You just disappeared." Astrid said, handing Heather her axe to mount.
"I know, and I feel terrible. But, sometimes you need to figure things out by yourself." Heather said, forlornly. Astrid nodded.
"Your letters to Fishlegs seemed like you were struggling with a lot." Astrid said grimly.
"You read them?" Heather asked in shock.
"We were worried, and wanted to know what was going on. Danny didn't read them though." Astrid said. Heather nodded, understanding her reasoning.
"All that time with Dagur, we were playing a part. I never really thought about the fact that he's actually my brother." Heather said, deep in thought.
"Then maybe, you shouldn't think about it." Astrid suggested.
"I have to. What if I have that insane Berserker blood, deep within me?" Heather asked.
"Heather, you're nothing like him. If you were, we would have dropped you in a volcano a long time ago." Astrid said with a laugh. Heather laughed too.
"Let's talk about something else." Heather suggested.
"How about Hiccup?" She asked with a sly grin.
"What about him?" Astrid asked, playing dumb, but unable to hid her blush.
"Astrid, life is short; you need to express your feelings. Stop wasting time. You 2 are perfect." Heather said with a smile.
"I could say the same thing about you and our local Skrill trainer." Astrid teased, making Heather blush.
"I saw you glancing at his rear end when he got on Nightling." Astrid said with a smirk.
"I have no idea what you're talking about." Heather said, her blush deepening. The 2 girls giggled.
"You're not gonna leave without saying goodbye, are you?" Danny asked as he landed behind Heather and Windshear.
"Oh. Hey Danny." Heather said sadly. Danny sighed sadly and dismounted Nightling.
"Do you really have to leave?" Danny asked her.
"I wish I had a choice, Danny." Heather said, holding her arm and turning away.
"You do have a choice." Danny responded sternly.
"Windshear doesn't belong with other dragons." Heather said as she petted her dragon.
"The only one she gets along with is Nightling. As much as I love it here with you guys, I won't choose you guys over her." Heather explained sadly.
"I get it Heather, I really do. But-" Danny started, but Heather cut him off.
"Look, I really appreciate all you guys have done for me. But I just can't take the risk." Heather said sadly. Danny sighed.
"I wasn't going to say this, but here goes." Danny said and took a deep breath.
"For the first time in 9 years, I feel like I found someone who can understand me. Someone who knows what it's like to lose everything and be alone. That someone is you. I want you here, Heather." Danny said, trying to be stern. Heather smiled and took Danny's hand.
"I feel the same, I really do. But Windshear has spent her whole life protecting me. It's all she knows how to do." Heather said with a sad smile. Danny suddenly got an idea.
"That makes sense!" He exclaimed and ran to mount Nightling.
"1 more try." He said, looking at Heather.
"Danny, I-" Danny cut her off.
"1 more idea, and if it doesn't work, you can leave. Trust me, Heather." Danny said sternly. Heather looked at Windshear, and then back at Danny, nodding reluctantly. She mounted Windshear and the pair of dragon riders took off.
"So, is this a 'goodbye' dinner, or a 'welcome to the team' dinner?" Danny asked as the gang ate some of Heather yak chops.
"It's not a 'goodbye' dinner." Heather said with a smile.
"My stomach thanks you." Tuffnut said with a bow. Heather giggled.
"Danny here deserves the credit." Heather said, gesturing to Danny.
"It was nothing." Danny said, trying to hide his blush.
"It wasn't nothing, Danny." Hiccup said as he fed Toothless, Nightling and Windshear.
"You figured out how to integrate Windshear into our pack." Astrid said, giving Danny a friendly punch to the shoulder.
"I just remembered when you guys told me about the time you found dragon root in a cabbage farm and Hookfang and Stormfly went berserk. I just applied that to our situation. No big deal." Danny said with a smile.
"Well, big deal or not, Danny, I am hereby asking you to be my 2nd in command of the Dragon Riders." Hiccup said, smiling. Danny looked at him with wide eyes for a moment.
Are you sure?" He asked. Hiccup nodded.
"Well, I guess I accept." Danny said with a smile, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly.
Everybody cheered, but stopped when a Terrible Terror entered the dining room with a scroll in its hind paws.
"What is it?" Danny asked Hiccup as he picked it up.
"I didn't send it." Heather added. Hiccup finished reading it and put it down, staring at it with a calculative gaze.
"And?" Danny asked.
"It's Dagur. He's looking for his sister." Hiccup said. Danny went over to Hiccup and skimmed through the letter.
"And he wants our help in finding her." He said, looking at Heather.
"I knew he would come looking for me." Heather said with a slight hint of fear in her voice.
"Is that so bad?" Hiccup asked Heather. She just gave him a small glare.
"Maybe it is." He said, trailing off.
"Heather." Danny said, putting his hand on her shoulder.
"You're 1 of us now. If you don't want to be found, we'll make sure you stay hidden." Danny comforted. Heather smiled gratefully and hugged him.
"Thanks Danny." She said and went to her hut to sleep.
~~Timeskip~~
"Come on Shattermaster, let's show them what a real Rider and his dragon can do!" Dagur exclaimed as he steered the green Gronckle into the flames. He let out a battle cry, and the last anybody saw of Dagur, was 1 of his knives falling into the ocean.
"Come on! We have to do something!" Hiccup yelled, and urged Toothless to fly forward, only to be stopped by Astrid and Danny.
"Hiccup, stop." Danny said sternly.
"There's nothing we can do." Astrid said sadly. Hiccup looked at the destroyed ships sadly. He nodded and the Dragon Riders turned to go back to the Edge. Heather stayed behind for a few moments, staring at the flames. Danny stopped and turned to her.
"You OK?" He asked her as he took her hand and squeezed. She looked at him and nodded. They turned around and headed back to the Edge with the others.
"This is my fault; I should have listened to him." Hiccup said grimly as he packed away the models of the battle field.
"You're not at fault Hiccup. You can't be blamed for not trusting him, given his history." Danny comforted. Hiccup nodded sadly.
"He knew it was a trap and still flew in." Astrid said.
"We never saw him hit the water, maybe he survived?" Snotlout asked with little hope.
"I will never forget his noble sacrifice." Fishlegs said sadly.
"You think my brother sacrificed himself? Not with his ego. He expected to come out unscathed." Heather said with crossed arms. The whole gang looked at her.
"What?" She asked.
"You've never called him your brother before." Danny said as he put a hand on her shoulder. Heather sighed and pulled her hood up.
"I need some sleep." She said and headed to her hut.
As Heather approached her bed, she found a note on her pillow, written in Dagur's handwriting.
Heather, my sister.
If you're reading this, I guess that's bad news for me. Sorry, but I couldn't let Hiccup fly you into a trap. I think you should know, when I set you adrift all those years ago, it was because our Father ordered me to. Being 5 at the time, I did as I was told. I later found out it was because there were multiple attempts on your life. 1 more thing, I didn't kill our Father. When he disappeared, I let people believe that I did so that they would think I was tough enough to be chief. I did a lot of things I'm sorry for, but I couldn't rest in peace knowing you thought I did that. Be safe.
Your brother, Dagur
Heather finished reading the letter, tears running down her face as she noticed it was raining.
Danny entered his hut, also finding a letter on his pillow, but a pendant of a Skrill's fang was next to it. He picked the letter up and read it.
Danny.
If you're reading this, I didn't survive the mission. I couldn't let Hiccup fly my sister into a suicide mission. Tell Hiccup that if he really wants to hurt Viggo, hit his next dragon auction. It moves around, but if you turn over enough stones, some worm will tell you where it is. 1 other thing, I've seen the way you look at Heather, and you have my blessing to court her. If she has to give her heart to someone, I'm glad it's you. I haven't known you for too long, but I know you can take care of her. Please, promise me you'll make her happy. I can tell she feels the same way about you.
Your brother, Dagur
Danny also had tears running down his face as he finished reading the letter.
"I promise Dagur, I will never let anyone hurt her again. I will make her happy. I am proud to call you my brother." Danny said to the sky, hoping Dagur heard him. He assumed he did, since the rain stopped at that point.
~~Timeskip~~
It's been a few weeks since Dagur died, and Heather was still depressed. She hardly ate, and didn't go on missions very often. Hiccup and Danny were in the main hall, trying to think of a way to help Heather.
"We can't just let her wither away. She's going to starve to death." Danny said with crossed arms. Hiccup nodded.
"I know, but we can't force her to move on." Hiccup said.
"What if we did something that makes her happy? Give her a nice meal, or a new weapon or something?" Hiccup suggested. Danny shook his head.
"You can't wash grief away with gifts Hiccup. We need to do something that will give her real happiness." Danny said. Suddenly, and idea popped into his head.
"I got something." He said as he mounted Nightling.
"You going to share?" Hiccup asked with a raised eyebrow. Danny shook his head in response.
"This is something I'd like to do myself." Danny said. Hiccup nodded as Nightling took off.
"Heather? You OK?" Danny asked as he slowly entered Heather's hut. He found her lying in bed, wearing simple leather leggings and a brown tunic. She was lying down, facing away from Danny.
"Go away Danny. I don't wanna talk." She said, her voice laced with sadness.
"It's a good thing I'm not here to talk." Danny said as he quietly picked up Heather's axe and gave it to Nightling, who flew off to the forest.
"Why are you here then?" She asked, not moving at all.
"I'm here to take you out." He said with a smile that Heather couldn't see.
"No thanks Danny." She said, still not moving. Danny smirked at her.
"That's so cute Heather; you think I'm giving you a choice." He said, still smirking evilly. Heather turned to him, looking confused.
"What?" She asked. Danny chuckled.
"If you want to see your axe again, meet me at the landing platform at sundown, with Windshear." He said and turned to leave.
"What did you do with my axe?" She hissed angrily. At that point, Nightling landed outside her hut.
"Nightling over here hid it in the forest. I hope no wild Hotburples or Armourwings find it." Danny mused, looking at his nails with a triumphant smirk. Heather growled at him.
"Sundown. Landing platform. Bring Windshear." Danny said sternly, but with a smirk, and mounted Nightling. Before Heather could say anything else, the Skrill shot up towards Danny's hut.
Danny was waiting for Heather at the landing platform, looking proud of himself. The sun was setting, so Heather only had a few minutes to arrive. Just as the sun faded from view, Danny heard the familiar flapping of Windshear's metallic wings. Danny looked at Heather with a smile, only receiving a glare in return.
"I'm glad to see you decided to come." Danny said, still smirking. Heather approached him, and tried to punch him in the face, but Danny easily caught her fist.
"Uh uh uh." He said, waving his index finger. Heather growled at him and crossed her arms with a huff.
"Well, let's go." Danny said, mounting his dragon. Heather did the same, but stayed silent.
After half an hour of flying, they arrived at an island that Heather had never seen before.
"Where are we?" She asked Danny.
"I call it Starstone Island." Danny answered with a smile as he dismounted Nightling.
"Nightling, Windshear, stay here. We may be a while." Danny instructed the dragons, who nodded.
"Come on." Danny said to Heather as he walked into the forest, Heather following. They walked until Danny stopped her.
"Close your eyes." Danny said. Heather hesitated, but did as she was told. Danny took her hand and lead her forward.
"OK, open." Danny whispered in her ear, making her shiver. She opened her eyes, and was mesmerized by what she saw: A beautiful waterfall, crashing down against a line of rocks, creating multiple mini-rainbows. And, to add a little icing on the cake, there were fire flies everywhere.
"Wow…" Heather muttered, staring at the scene with a smile.
"It's nice to see you smiling again." Danny said, smiling at Heather, who chuckled at him.
"You really should smile and laugh more, it's cute." Danny said with a blush. Heather blushed too.
"Uh… Thanks…" She mumbled, looking like a tomato.
"We're not done here." Danny said, breaking the silence. He took Heather's hand and led her to the side of the waterfall. He let go of her, much to her hidden disappointment, and hopped on to the rocks, gesturing for her to follow him. She followed, and stopped right next to him.
"OK, in we go." Danny said, jumping into the waterfall. Heather was reluctant, but followed him nonetheless. They ended up in a dark cave, with a glimmer of light at the end.
"You OK?" Danny asked.
"Other than the water crawling through my clothes, doing great." Heather remarked, making Danny laugh. Danny took her hand and lead her to the light.
"This is my favorite part of the island." Danny said as he led Heather into the end of the cave. Heather gasped at the beautiful sight. There were millions of small crystals scattered across the walls and ceiling of the cave. They glowed with a faint light, and in multiple different colors; red, blue, yellow, green, etc.
"It's beautiful." Heather muttered.
"Not as much as you." Danny said, taking Heather's hand. Heather blushed and looked into Danny's eyes. They seemed to be sparkling with the crystals.
"Heather, ever since I met you, I've felt a sense of peace, something I haven't felt since my family died." Danny said as he smiled softly and squeezed Heather's hand.
"I told you before that I felt that you understood me, I still do." He said as he brought her hand to his chest.
"The very second I laid eyes on you, you stole my heart." He said, looking into her eyes, which had widened.
"I've fallen in love with you Heather. My heart is yours, if you'll take it." He said, smiling softly at her. Heather started crying and brought Danny in for a kiss. Sparks flew as their lips danced. Heather let out a small, quick moan of pleasure as Danny wrapped his arms around her waist. They separated for air and looked into each other's eyes.
"And my heart is yours." Heather said, leaning into Danny's shoulder, letting out her suppressed sobs. Danny held her close, and brought her to the ground, where he lay on his back, and just let Heather cry into his shoulder.
After an hour of crying, Heather looked up at Danny, her hair messy and her eyes red from crying. She still looked as beautiful as ever to Danny. He pushed some of her hair behind her ear and kissed her on her forehead.
"I love you." He whispered. Heather blushed and smiled.
"I love you too." She said and kissed him on the lips.
The kiss quickly turned into a full blown make-out session. Danny was straddling Heather's hips, with his hands on either side of her waist, and Heather was running her hands through his silky smooth black hair. This went on for about an hour before they stopped and headed to meet their dragons. Windshear was happy to see Heather smiling again. The new couple mounted their dragons and took off to the Edge.
When they arrived, it was still dark. They put their dragons in their pens and walked, hand in hand, towards their huts. They stopped at Heather's hut and looked at each other.
"Goodnight Heather." Danny said as he held her close.
"Goodnight Danny." She said with a smile and gave him a kiss goodnight. Heather entered her hut, after sending Danny a beautiful smile, and saw her axe on her bed. She rolled her eyes; she should have known Danny didn't really leave her axe in the woods. She disrobed and got into bed, smiling happily as she fell asleep.
Danny arrived at his hut and also disrobed and got into his bed. For the first time in many years, neither Danny, nor Heather felt alone.
A/N: And, we're done! Did you enjoy it? Please review! If you have any suggestions for girls for me to pair up with Danny in this series, don't hesitate to comment!
