A/N There you go ;) now you don't have to have that nasty cliffhanger. :)

Enjoy!

As the water flows around them, the two riders feel their lungs start to give out. When Hiccup is almost unconscious and Astrid feels herself boarding on that ship, the chest creaks before exploding completely.

Astrid grips Hiccup's hand tighter his lax grip is all she gets in return. Toothless is next to them suddenly, as well as the twins and Stormfly, with hardly any strength left in herself Astrid pushes herself to her Nadder, dragging Hiccup with her.

Stormfly zooms up to the surface and when she breaks it, Astrid takes in gasps of air, sucking it in greedily. Hiccup coughs, once then twice before his eyes shoot open and he echoes Astrid.

"Whoa, that has got to be the angriest I have ever seen Toothless." Ruffnut says and Hiccup scans around himself and Astrid for said Night Fury, instead all he sees is little bits of broken wood.

"What, did that?" Hiccup hisses, any higher and his voice would have given out.

"That my friend would be Toothless." The twins say in sync.

"Good ol' T. wasn't very happy." Tuffnut adds.

"Oh my Thor! Are you two all right?" Fishlegs asks Meatlug coming to a stop next to them. Hookfang and Snotlout are right behind him, Snotlout looking bored.

"We're fine." Astrid answers after a second. Hiccup's eyes narrow before he points forward.

"There! I see Toothless." He says. Astrid pats Stormfly's side and Hiccup grips the Hofferson's shoulders tighter.

"HICCUP THIS WILL NOT BE THE END OF THIS!" Ryker yells furiously up at them. Hiccup and Astrid look down at him. For one brief second, Hiccup is tempted to pike his tongue out but resists.

Astrid snorts, "Find a hobby!" She shouts.

The other riders trail after them and Stormfly lowers to where Toothless looking alive and alert is sitting on a large piece of driftwood. Hiccup looks at Astrid.

"His tailfin is still broken."

After a few hours of the dragons trading Toothless off, they finally made it back to Dragon's Edge. Hiccup and Astrid, beyond wet and dizzy are both fine. The day had carried out like normal, but at the end Hiccup went to sit on a cliffs edge, thinking.

"What are you doing?" Astrid asks walking up to him.

Hiccup stops tearing at the grass long enough to look up at her. "Nothing really. Just...can I ask you something?" He asks.

Astrid plops down next to him, blue eyes bright, "Sure." She says.

"Well, its just, did you really mean it?" Hiccup asks. Astrid shakes her head.

"I dont understand."

"That you love me? Did you mean it?" Hiccup asks. Astrid's lips form a O and she wrings her hands together. After a minute, she meets Hiccup's eyes again.

"Every word. I love you, Hiccup." She says. Hiccup smiles softly.

"I meant it to. I feel the same," he says and drops the grass he's holding to lean over and kiss Astrid on the lips.

No the day hadn't gone good for either of them, but, this, this made it worth it.

A/N: Short, I know, but what else is there to add? :)
