Amazing

A/N: Hi!I don't own HTTYD or the characters. This is my first httyd fanfic. This happened in RTTE Episode 4, kind of right after Tuffnut's yakdragon and giant snakes discussion. This is purely random and I apologize if it seems.. off… I actually typed this in just a few hours…. Huh…. I just needed to get this off my chest before I do the other stuff… Anyways, read and review!

The fire cackled in front of Astrid's eyes as she sat in silence, half-listening to the Ingerman's ramblings and excitement. They had just found their island far off from Berk. Far from home. A new adventure awaits them, as if this was what they had been meant for all along…

"Astrid?" Slightly dazed, her eyes darted at Fishlegs in question.

"Hmmm…?"

"You okay?" he asked, a puzzled look was written on his face.

"Huh? Oh, yeah. Just thinking." She replied and her gaze went back to the fire.

"About?"

She shrugged, "Being on this island, away from home, starting a new adventure…" Fishlegs smiled blissfully.

"Yeah, it's exciting…! With so many other dragons out there…" He squealed, a habit whenever the dragons came to topic. Astrid giggled at his gleefulness and another thought came to mind.

"We never would've gone if it weren't for Hiccup…" She muttered as her lips curled into a smile. No one heard except Fishlegs.

"You are wholeheartedly correct, Astrid! It was all thanks to him..!" He agreed, "He was the first to ride one after all."

"Mhmm, yea…" She glanced at the chief's son, who was talking to his dragon best friend.

"Wait, weren't you the one who first got to ride with him on Toothless?" Fishlegs asked. She nodded.

"What was it like?"

"I don't really know how to describe it…" She began, "It was like seeing a whole new world… We soared through the sky and touched the clouds and for the first time, I felt… free. Free from war, free from worrying about our survival, free from… everything… It was beautiful, majestic, wonderful and… Amazing.. He's amazing…"

"Who's amazing?" asked Ruffnut, as her twin was already asleep after their discussion of yakdragons and giant human-eating snakes. Astrid realized she was talking loud when all eyes were on her, daring her to answer that one simple question. Even Toothless was curious.

"Duh, of course it's me." Snotlout intervened before she could say anything else, "I'm amazing. Right babe?"Astrid rolled her eyes.

"As if! Hi-" and she elbowed Fishlegs. He turned to her and she shook her head.

"Well?" Dared Snotlout.

"Well you are amazing… at creating so much disaster in everything." replied Fishlegs.

"Who's the guy anyway?" Ruffnut asked again, "You sound like you like him or something."

"He's just… someone.." Astrid replied weakly. She was starting to feel nervous just by the watchful eyes of the said amazing guy. She didn't want him to know right now, not when they were just beginning their new adventure with him being so hyped up about the Dragon's Eye and Dagur on the loose to be cautious about…

"It doesn't matter anyway." And she stood up. "I'm going to bed. Goodnight." She laid beside her Nadder, her back facing the rest of the group. She closed her eyes, drowning out the noises and falling into deep slumber.
