Many thanks to AtkiakFF for the review!

Astrid's POV

I decided to think my way around this for a bit, since panicking probably wouldn't help. However it might make me feel better, I mused. Funny how that is. I felt my heart rate pick up slightly in my new dragon-y chest, and I snorted in disgust.

I had been surprisingly passive about the whole turning-into-a-dragon thing, I figured it was because of the blue light, maybe residual energy from that keeped me calm. Maybe if I had actually FOUGHT BACK while I was changing I wouldn't be covered in scales right now!

Silently cursing the blue light that had done this to me, I suddenly realized how much I loathed my new body. I was a viking, not a dragon, and I wanted back, NOW!

I let out a screech and rolled onto my back, thrashing about and screeching some more. My new tail thumped on the ground erratically, and my wings flapped despite me being the wrong way up to create any lift.

Panting, I got to my feet. My four feet. I grimaced, trying to take a step forward or two. Easier said than done, I tripped over and landed flat on my *shudder* scaly face.

Moaning, I felt my stomach rumble. I hadn't eaten anything since breakfast, and I could see the sun low in the sky from where I was, just starting to come into view from within the cave. How long had I been there? It had felt like minutes, but was it hours?

I pushed myself back to my feet and struggled my way out. The sun felt good on my back and face, I let out a sigh. It didn't sound like a sigh, however. It sounded like a noise a dragon would make. The thought crossed my mind that I could just except what I was now...

NO.

I couldn't. I wouldn't. I needed to get back to my life! Despite myself I spread my new (ugh) wings and glided down to a cove. I had been up high and I figured that trying to scale down a cliff face in a body I wasn't used to may not be a good idea.

THUMP.

Sloppy landing. I was on my back again somehow. I flipped over and got to my feet.

How was I going to fix this?

Hiccup's POV

Astrid still hadn't came back from... well, wherever she went. I was getting worried, after all I did have a crush on her. Pacing back and forth from outside the Chief's (aka my fathers) house, I came to a conclusion.

I was going to go and find her.

It was crazy, I know. A crazy decision for a... well not crazy but defiantly unpopular and a awkward sorta person. But I figured there was nothing else to do apart from have dinner and go to sleep, maybe do something at the forge.

All of which I did not want to do at this point of time. Yep, I was going to find her.

Ok, so I got lost in the forest. Big deal. The sun had already set by the time I admitted it to myself.
Just brilliant.

I looked around nervously. Anything could be out here! And it was only a matter of time until "anything" found me. I groaned at my own stupidity. Here I was, thinking this was such a good idea! And then this just has to go and happen.

I could have been her hero. Astrid's hero. And then I got lost. I guess it was just wishful thinking.

I was surprised to find a cove with a lake in it, just in the middle of nowhere. I looked down it, I guessed it was a good as place as any to spend the night, or at least I thought it was until I saw what was in there once I had already entered the place.

A dragon.

I gasped, trying to hide myself on the flat rock I was crouched on, but to no avail. It had seen me.

And it started to growl.

Have a nice day.
