Isabella is my own character. This has some plot changes from How To Train Your Dragon. I don't own HTTYD. (Or do I? Never mind, I don't)

Chapter 1 Isabella Meets Hiccup And The Gang; Isabella Learns Something New

Isabella's POV

I had the village in my sights. I peered from behind a bush, hiding myself without having a problem of seeing( I was doing a lot of hiding today). I was about to get up and head into the village, until I realized people would wonder about my eyes. I was pretty sure that different colored eyes were unusual in, well, just about anywhere, even animated fantasy places. I opened my leather bag again and saw something else that I accidentally took with me from my world: my contact lenses that changed my eye color. My eyesight wasn't bad, but sometimes, I put them on so people wouldn't think of me as a weird freak. Since they changed your eye color, I decided to go with a plain, normal color: dark, dark brown that almost seemed like black. I put them on and looked at my reflection in a puddle nearby. 'Perfect,' I thought. I finally left my hiding place and headed for the beach. I knew I couldn't just waltz into the village without an explanation, so I decided to pretend that I shipwrecked onto Berk by drenching my self with seawater and tearing my clothes a little. I tried to look like I was weary and collapsed when I was in front of someone. To my luck, it was someone I actually knew from the movie: Hiccup.

"Whoa, are you okay?" Hiccup asked, gently shaking my shoulder.

I acted like I was awaking up after 'fainting'. I shook my head and looked around, trying to be surprised, " Hmm, where am I? Who are you? How did I get here?" I tried hard to contain my excitement from meeting the real live Hiccup.

Hiccup answered, " Well, I'm Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III and you're on Berk. I don't know how you got here, but first, let's take you to the island healer. Just in case. Mind telling me your name?" I got a better look at Hiccup's face and he still looked the same from the movie: shaggy auburn hair, a scrawny body like mine, lots of freckles on his face, and he was still wearing his green, long- sleeved tunic, fur vest, dark green leggings, and fur lined boots.

"Umm, Isabella," I said. I got up and felt that my scaly friend was missing from my shoulders. I frantically searched in the sand and yelled, " Slither? Where are you?"

Hiccup stared at me, confused. " Who exactly is Slither? Your family member?" Hiccup asked, sounding sarcastic.

I found Slither, buried in some sand, and showed her to him, " In a way, yes. Meet my pet snake and best friend, Slither," I proudly presented Slither with a bright smile.

Hiccup's jaw dropped to the ground. My smile fell and I thought 'Oh, no. He's going think I'm a freak now, just like everyone else.' Instead, Hiccup smiled back and said, " O-Kay, well, nice to meet you two," reaching a hand out to pet Slither. Slither accepted his calm touch and happily hissed at him.

Now it was my turn to be confused. "You don't think it's weird that I have a pet snake?Other people think it's bad since she's scary-looking and venomous," I asked with a bit of curiosity.

Hiccup sarcastically replied, " Naww, I don't think it's weird since I'm part snake." I giggled and simply said, " Come on, tell me the real reason."

Hiccup turned to me and, with a serious voice, whispered, " I don't care how they look, as long as they're a real friend: kind, loyal, and honest. There are kids my age around here, but they aren't my friends. You seem like a friend to me: you're nice to me, seem loyal to your snake even though people think it's weird, and you're honest about yourself. You're probably the first friend I ever had," I trembled at the last part, knowing I wasn't completely honest.

" Yeah, you seem like a friend to me, too. But how can you know I'm all those things if you just met me?" I asked.

Hiccup shrugged his shoulders and told me, "Let's first get you to the healer, then we'll talk."

We walked into the village and people stared at the both of us, mostly me because of my clothes. We arrived at the healer's place. She examined me and told me that I was fine; just tired from the shock I had earlier. When I came out, Hiccup gave new clothes: a dark blue tunic with long sleeves, tight black pants made of a strong cloth, and fur boots with light brown fur lined at the top and dark brown at the bottom. He handed me the new outfit and I loved it. It was simple and perfect for me.

"Thanks, Hiccup," I said with happiness in my voice. He handed me my bag and Slither came up to my shoulders. I went back into the healer's where I changed into the new clothes and tied my hair back with some tough fabric I found. I also put my fingerless gloves back on, checked my bag to make sure everything was there, and placed my necklace in the center of my neck. I placed a hand over it and thought of my mom. I cried a little, but quickly wiped my tears away. I grinned at my new outfit and stepped outside. After I talked to Hiccup for a little bit. Hiccup showed me the village, even though I already knew some places like the forge, the docks, and the Great Hall. But I also saw some new things like a place on the beach where they sometimes had bonfires.

Hiccup's POV

"And last, but certainly, not least, my house," I announced, overdoing it a bit, " My dad said you can stay here until you get back home."

Isabella looked around in amazement and asked, " How come your house is different from the other ones? It's a lot bigger, there's more detail to it, and it's on the top of hill, away from the rest of the village."

I explained, " Well, my dad is a pretty important person in the village, so yeah."

" Wow! So what's it like having a dad who's a powerful man on the island? It probably sounds great, but the more I think about it, it also sounds stressful. You have to try to live up to his high expectations," Isabella said, completely understanding my thoughts.

" Yes, yes! I can't believe you understand exactly what I felt about it. How'd you know?" I asked with the excitement like a little school girl.

Isabella thought for a moment and simply said with a mysterious smile," I just know."

I wondered how mysteriously and easily she understood me, but pushed the thoghts to the back of my mind. " Well, what do you want to do now?" I asked, eager to do keep my mind busy.

Isabella smiled and said," I was hoping to meet kids around our age. You're 13, right?" "Not really. I'm fourteen." I admitted.

I decided that even though I didn't really want to see Fishlegs Ingerman, Ruffnut and Tuffnut Thorston, Snotlout Jorgenson, Astrid Hofferson, and Darmion ( since they teased me a lot), but since Isabella was new in town, it was probably best for her to get to know other people.

" Okay then, come on," I said, racing down the stairs that led to the bottom of the hill. When I got down, I was gasping for breath. "And the winner is-" I stopped my gloating when I realized that Isabella was already waiting for me. I looked at her and back up the hill and asked, " How did you do that? I didn't even see you pass me!"

" I just slid down the hill. Total accident, but way faster and cooler than taking the stairs." She looked at me and continued,"Came with a price, though." She turned around, showing that the back of her tunic had some grass stains on it." Still totally worth it," she answered, smirking a little bit.

I sheepishly laughed and said," Let's just forget about that little race and get going."

She eyed me, knowing it was a bit humiliating losing to a girl, and made a gesture for me to lead the way. While we were walking, we talked about the things we saw. It was surprisingly easy to talk to Isabella, but I still considered her more as a friend than a, you know, girlfriend. My heart still only belonged to one person. Sigh, Astrid. I ended up having a lovey-dovey expression when we got to the other kids. Everyone just stared at me, including Astrid and Isabella since I just stood there with that dumb expression stuck on my face. I didn't even say anything. The other kids were wondering why the fishbone came to talk to them.

Isabella had to shake me out of my coma. "Hello? Earth to Hiccup? You better wake up before the others leave." I finally became aware of my surroundings and saw everyone staring at me. I blushed slightly from embarrassment and finally said, "Everyone, this is Isabella. She got shipwrecked onto Berk, so she's my guest until she gets back home." Both Isabella and I could tell that everyone was surprised because a. There's a new girl on the island and she was pretty and b. She seemed to be friends with Hiccup and staying with him, too.

They all just stood for a while, with an awkward moment of silence, until Isabella finally said something, " Hiccup, do you mind introducing the others to me?"

I finally realized I forgot that and said," Yeah, that's Tuffnut, Ruffnut, Fishlegs, Snotlout, Astrid, and Darmion." Isabella and Darmion stared at each other in amazement. I was pretty confused by all this, including the others.

Isabella asked, "Dare?" Darmion asked back, " Bell?"

Isabella and Darmion hugged each other(to everyone's surprise) and Isabella said, "I can't believe you're here! I haven't seen you in forever!"

Darmion replied, "Me either! How did you get here?"

"I'll explain later," Isabella said, finally breaking from the hug and noticing that we were looking at them. "Oh, I should probably explain. Darmion is my nephew." This surprised us even more.

Snotlout asked, "How is that possible? You two are the same age."

Darmion explained further," Well, my mom or Isabella's older cousin gave birth to me when she was 25 years old. At the time, Isabella's parents decided to have another kid, so then, Isabella came a few days before me.

" That's weird, but a very logical explanation," Fishlegs decided.

I got a breather and said, "Well, that's everyone. Let's go back since it's almost time to eat. You guys can catch up then and Isabella can get to know people on the island." Me and Isabella were about to leave when my cousin, Snotlout, decided to try and hit on Isabella.

Snotlout asked, with an oversized ego and trying to put an arm over her," Why are you with that fishbone? Why don't you hang out with a real man?" He was about to lean in for a kiss when he let out a ear-piercing scream. I saw that Slither had bit him and left two small bite marks on his neck.

Isabella patted Slither's head and with one of her famous smirks, answered," I'm already hanging out with a real man," backing away from Snotlout to next to me. " Also, you might want to check with the island healer. It could be a matter of hours, no, minutes before the deadly venom takes effect." Snotlout turned as pale as a ghost and started running to the healer as quick as he could, screaming.

Ruffnut turned to me and said, "I like her." Tuffnut agreed, "Me too."

Since Isabella already got pretty chummy with the twins and Darmion, I was left out from the group with Astrid. Isabella winked at me. I wondered' What?' Then I realized that Isabella wanted me to be alone with Astrid. I blushed and tried to start a conversation with Astrid, but the blond haired beauty ignored me, acting like I wasn't even there. It went like this for the entire time, even when we were eating. Isabella finally said good bye and we walked back together to my house. When we got back, Isabella was practically interrogating me. "What did you guys talk about? Did she ask you anything? Does she like you back?"

I replied,"Again, slow down." I heard her last question and asked her, with a slight blush on my face," What makes you think I like Astrid?"

Isabella smirked again and answered, "Come on. I'm a girl. I can notice if a guy likes a girl or if a girl likes a guy. Like whether Astrid likes you back." I dragged her back to my house, shut the door, started a fire, and we sat down.

"Well, does she?" I asked. Isabella acted dumb and replied, "Does she what?" I got a bit mad and yelled, "Like me!" Isabella didn't answer and instead said, "If I told you, you would freak out either way. I think it's best for you to figure it out for yourself."

I face-palmed myself and sarcastically said,"Yeah, because I'm doing just fine on my own." Isabella laughed and I started laughing, too. Our happy moment was cut short when we heard a loud roar.

Isabella seemed to only act surprised and asked, "What was that?" I opened the door, saw a red Monstrous Nightmare that was about to fire, and slammed again, only letting a little bit of burning lava through. I looked at Isabella and said one word. "Dragons."

Isabella's POV

"And, now the movie is starting." I thought.

Author's Note

If you think that Isabella is going to date Hiccup, you are wrong. Hiccup is going to be someone else's.
