Chapter 1

Ok so the first chapter takes place right after episode 11...

Hiccup, toothless and astrid see heather off at the port

Heather: thanks astrid.. for everything, I'll never forget what you did for me and my family, you risked your life to save them

Heather hugs astrid and astrid reluctantly pats her back and smiles, when she releases astrid she looks to toothless and hugs him, then she looks at hiccup who was kinda expecting a hug as well, but was given a smile instead

Heather: I'm gonna miss you boy... You too hiccup

Hiccup: heather.. Next time don't be afraid to ask for help, ok

Astrid: he's right, who knows maybe someday we'll meet each other again

Heather: sure I'd like that.. Well goodbye

Heather boards the ship and proceeds to wave at the two

Astrid: goodbye (waves her hand)

Hiccup: oh and better watch out for pirates, just in case (cupping his hands to his mouth)

Heather just smiles at hiccup and waves at him, hiccup clearly meant that as a joke referring to her previous excuse of being attacked by pirates. Astrid notices their somewhat friendly conversation and punches him in the arm

Hiccup: whaat? Why would you do that?

Astrid: what was that?

Hiccup: what was what astrid?

Astrid: that (gestures at hiccup)

Hiccup: you just gestured to all of me

Astrid: you know what i mean "better watch out for pirates heather" (imitates his voice with a nasal tone)

Hiccup: Is that supposed to be me? (Laugh)

Heather spots the two from her ship apparently they started arguing the moment heather set sailed so the boat didn't get much distance away from the docks yet, heather just smiles at the two figures visibly arguing but in a playful way. She lets out a sigh

Heather: that's why I didn't hug you (laugh)

Heather's mom: what was that dear?

Heather: nothing mom, I'm just gonna miss my new friends at berk

Heather's dad: well then why not stay there?

Heather: huh? You know that's not possible dad.. I've already caused enough trouble for them

Heather's mom: it sure didn't sound that way at the docks

Heather: you heard that?

Heather's mom: of course dear, we were only a few sheeps away from you.. besides i bet that boy would be really happy to see ya

Heather: what? Mom it's not like that

Heather's dad: heather, whatever you choose we're ok with it

Heather: it's not that simple.. I mean what about our home

Heather's mom: heather.. Were outcasts now, our home is this ship

Heather's dad: just think about it heather, we could start our new life at berk.. And you'll have someone to talk to too

Heather: there's plenty of people to talk to back home, there's glunda and-

Heather's dad: i meant people your age, not old viking hags

Heather's mom: we just want you to be happy dear, you risked your life for us.. It's the least we can do

Heather: aww that's ok, you don't have to do anything I'm perfectly happy wherever we are. As long your both safe (hugs both of them)

Heather's dad: great, then it's settled were heading back to berk

Heather: what!? (Let's go)

Meanwhile the two were now at the dragon academy preparing to race each other. Astrid decided to have a little chat first with hiccup as they were waiting for the official log keeper, fishlegs, to time their speed and to declare a winner..

Astrid: so hiccup are you ready?

Hiccup: huh? for the race?

Astrid: no, to eat stormfly's dust of course

Hiccup: (laugh) oh really.. you saw how fast toothless is.. It's stormfly who'll be eating toothlesses dust.. if she's not too busy eating chicken (laugh)

Astrid: laugh all you want hiccup, cause when stormfly and I beat you to the finishing mark, I'll have the last laugh

Hiccup: we'll see astrid, juust make sure you have enough chickens ready (laugh)

Astrid: that's it!

Hiccup: woah!

Astrid: stop running!

Hiccup: stop chasing me

Astrid: get over here-aw

Hiccup: astrid!

The two dragons were oblivious to their riders argument, so they were just playing with each other chasing one another across the arena. Then astrid lunges for hiccup but hiccup evades the first frontal assault, astrid continues her chase until she is tripped by toothlesses tail-fin while they were running around. Hiccup notices astrid nearly about to fall, so he catches her by reflex and they end up in a position where astrid is holding on to Hiccup's chest and hiccup firmly grabbing onto her arms. Astrid's eyes are closed but they open to find hiccups staring down at her, and then dundunan.. Fishlegs finally arrives

Fishlegs: um.. Am i interrupting something

They both stand up straight getting as far away as one step can take them from each other coughing and mumbling something at the same time, astrid fixes her bangs and hiccup scratches his neck

Hiccup: sorry we were um.. She was falling an.. And i didn't..

Astrid: were weren't like.. Um i fell and.. He tried to uh..

Fishlegs: ook.. I'm just gonna go now.. Maybe give you two some privacy, let's go girl

Astrid: hold on! Fishlegs.. where're you going? It's not-um.. the race's still on

Fishlegs: it is? Cause from my point of view it looked like you were about to ki-OH

Astrid punches fishlegs in the gut and makes him stop talking for a second

Fishlegs: is violence your answer for everything!.. A simple yes or no would've sufficed

Hiccup: yeah.. I'm pretty sure she meant no

Fishlegs: you can read Astrid's mind?

Hiccup: sorta.. juust trust me.. (He holds his arm) you'll get used to her way of "communication"

Astrid: oh so you're used to it huh.. (She rolls her fist)

Hiccup: a-astrid the race, remember (awkward laugh)

Astrid: fine, we'll settle this with our dragons.. Fishlegs time our dragons.. Stormfly!

Hiccup: (sighs in relief) toothless

Fishlegs: alrighty then.. Are your dragons ready?

Hiccup\astrid: yes!

Fishlegs: on your marks... Get seet.. fly!

Astrid: go stormfly!

Hiccup: let's go bud

Time skip, the first lap was surprisingly even, hiccup even considered losing to astrid since they were flying at almost the same speed. When the third lap came, toothlesses started to gain a significant amount of distance from stormfly, and astrid soon realizes that toothless wasn't getting any faster but stormfly was in fact getting slower, well what do you expect from racing a night fury, the unholy offspring of lightning and death itself or something like that. And what's worse she's all out of chicken, she just pats her dragon's head and sighs accepting the inevitable

Astrid: it's alright girl, we'll get them next time

Stormfly cheerfully replies with a slight dragon purr and continues flying, hiccup and toothless on the other hand noticing Astrid's disappearance from their back slows down their pace maybe to lessen the blow to astrid. They were at the last lap which was above the docks, hiccup was slowly gliding through the sky, when toothless suddenly calls his attention

Hiccup: what's the matter bud?

Toothless looks at hiccup and then directs his view to the docks just below them

Hiccup: what? Is there something down there toothless? Wait.. Isn't that.. Heather?!

Toothless cheerfully nods his head and looks at hiccup again, hiccup stops toothless for a second and hovers above the docks, it doesn't take long for heather to notice the black dragon in the sky. Heather waves at them and hiccup is just dumbfounded

Hiccup: why would she? Oh, I think she saw us.. Take us down bud

Toothless was happy to oblige, as soon as they landed toothless flashes a gum smile at heather which heather takes as a sign of hello and pats toothlesses head.
Heather: (laugh) i missed you too toothless

Hiccup: uh heather, whaat are you doing here?.. is there a problem?

Heather: (grins) it's awful hiccup.. we were ambushed by pirates on the way back and they took all the silver we had so we had to come back to berk (faking a depressed look)

Hiccup: it's ok, your safe now... Um, sorry heather..

Heather: huh? What are you apologizing for? It's not your fault hiccup

Hiccup: i know it's just.. Sorry about what i said that time I didn't actually think there would be-

Heather couldn't hold back her laughter, she giggles at the sight of the boy genuinely worried and sorry for his earlier comment

Hiccup: uh? Heather.. Is everything ok?

He looks at toothles and they both give a confused look to one another

Heather: you really are something hiccup (smiles)

Hiccup: uh thanks i guess

Heather: you're too nice for your own good, maybe that's why she likes you so much

Hiccup: ook whaat? mind filling me in? Who's she (looks at the ship) aand.. I'm starting to think you weren't attacked by pirates at all

Heather: you got me (laugh) i was fooling you, didn't think you'd fall for it a second time buut.. I guess i was wrong, what is it with pirates and ships that makes it soo believable

Hiccup: good for you.. con-gratulations (sarcastic clapping) you've successfully made me look like an idiot.. Again (laugh)

Heather: (laughs) sorry hiccup, it's nothing personal you know.. Old habits

Hiccup: yeah, don't worry.. You're not the first one.. soo, mind telling me why you're really here..

Heather: yeah about that..
