Toothless yawned and stretched. It was the very early morning and sunlight poured into the cave. He blinked and looked down at the sleeping form next
to him. Terra's scales seemed to be silver in the early morning light and Toothless's heart jumped. He had never seen anyone so beautiful in his life. She
shook her head and slowly opened her eyes. She jumped up and tried to fly away. She yelped in pain and tears welled up in her eyes. Toothless leapt
over to her and checked her wing. It was even more damaged.
"Oh, Terra," he whispered. She moaned in agony.
"Toothless, please help me," she slurred in pain. He nodded quickly and started towards the entrance.
"I'll be back as quick as I can," he rushed, "Hiccup will help. Just stay put." He ran as fast as he could until he went into the village. He soared into Hiccup's
house and onto his bed. He jumped around and finally aroused his friend and his wife.
"Toothless! Odin, where have you been?" Hiccup cried.
Hurry up, I need you somewhere! Toothless seemed to say to him.
"Okay, okay, I'm getting up for our flight," Hiccup laughed. He leaned over and kissed Astrid on the cheek. Toothless felt a pang of envy for their love. He
quickly shook it away.
The two best friends went outside and saddled up. Before Hiccup was even buckled up, Toothless took to the sky.
"What's gotten into you!" Hiccup exclaimed and frantically strapped himself in. They made it to the cove in record time. "Toothless, why are we here?"
The Night Fury impatiently waited for Hiccup to dismount. When the man finally did, Toothless sprinted into the cave. "Toothless, wait!" Toothless
remembered that his friend had a metal foot and rushed back to him. They made their way into the cave to where Terra was laying. She lifted her head
slightly and growled weakly.
Hiccup gasped at the sight of the female Night Fury. He made his way over to her and held out his hand. She snorted and passed out. He examined her
and stretched out her broken wing. Terra whimpered in her unconsciousness and Toothless moved closer to her.
"I'll need to reset it, and then bind it. Bud, could you please go find some broad leaves and vines? And maybe bring back something that will harden."
Toothless reluctantly left and brought back the things Hiccup asked for. It was a long process, but luckily Terra remained under during the procedure.
When Hiccup was finally done, Terra's wing was in a cast that had a vine sling to keep it steady. Toothless gently nudged her and she woke up. She
looked at her heavy wing and hissed.
It feels a little better, just a dull throb now, she said to Toothless. Thank you.
Your welcome, he replied, anything for a friend. They smiled at each other.
"You're a pretty dragon, aren't you? I've never seen another Night Fury, I thought Toothless was the only one," Hiccup said, sitting on the edge of the
nest. Terra looked Hiccup over suspiciously and went closer to Toothless. He was glad his scales hid his skin, because he was blushing with her nearness.
You may want to thank him, Toothless said to her. She snorted.
How? she asked. Toothless walked over to Hiccup and nuzzled the boy.
"Your welcome, bud, anything to help a dragon," Hiccup said. Terra approached very slowly and then licked his hand. Hiccup laughed when she lunged
away and made sour face. "Yeah, I probably don't taste very good, but your welcome anyway." He smiled before standing.
I have to take Hiccup home now, but I'll be back when I'm done, okay? Toothless said to Terra. She nodded and walked with them outside of the cave.
"I'll see you later, dragon, to check your wing," Hiccup said as he readied himself and Toothless for the flight. Terra nodded to them before going back
inside. Toothless couldn't help but stare at her. Even in this state, she was still beautiful. "Let's go bud."
They flew all around the island in silence and Toothless felt very joyful to feel the wind under his wings. He remembered the day's where he was a
grounded dragon. Hiccup had came along and fed him, taken care of him, and let him enjoy the freedom of the sky.
Fishlegs flew up next to them on his Gronkle, Meatlug. "Hiccup, you've got to come quick!" exclaimed the pudgy Viking. Hiccup and Toothless followed
Fishlegs in silence until Hiccup couldn't take it any longer.
"Is there an emergency in the village?" Hiccup asked.
"Well, in a word, yes," the Viking replied. Hiccup gave Fishlegs a hard look and the chubby Viking cringed.
"What?" Hiccup pressed.
"Astrid's having the baby," Fishlegs said. Hiccup's eyes widened and he accidentally kicked Toothless.
"Come on, bud, we have to hurry!" Toothless pressed his wing strokes faster and they were at Hiccup's in record time. The entire village was gathered in
front of the home and Toothless had to push through them to get Hiccup to the front door.
"Astrid!" Hiccup cried when he burst through the door. Her back was turned to them and Hiccup rushed to his wife.
"Where have you been?" Astrid screamed. She hit Hiccup in the arm and then pulled him into a bone crushing hug. Tears stained the woman's face and
this caught Toothless and Hiccup by surprise. They were used to seeing Astrid as a strong willed and minded woman, not broken like they saw in front of
them. Her Deadly Nader, Stormfly , stood close to her mistress and whined.
She will be all right, Toothless said to the fretting dragon. Stormfly nodded and sighed.
I know, I'm just worried, she replied.
The process of birthing Hiccup and Astrid's baby was long and hard. It was well into the night when, finally, the child was born. Astrid went to sleep and
Hiccup help the precious bundle in his arms. He went outside and lifted it in the air.
"It's a girl," Hiccup said, "and her name is Serica."
