Thanks for the reviews last chapter guys. It means a lot. This chapter explains how Toothless and Lightstar met. Again, thanks for the reviews.

Previously, on Gift of The Night Fury:

"It really is you… Nightwing."

"That's right. I remember now."


Chapter 2: Old Memories

*The Village*

Toothless' P.O.V

"Nightwing, I can't believe I found you." Lightstar said, moving back in front of me, "We meet again, like we promised." She said.

"Excuse me, but what's going on?" Stormfly asked. Lightstar and I turned around to look at her.

"Well, Lightstar and I used to be good friends twenty years ago." I said. I then started to remember about when we first met.


Toothless' Flashback

*Snowy Mountains Twenty Years Ago*

I walked through the snow covered mountains, completely unsure of where to go. It wasn't a snow storm or anything like that, there was just snow on the ground, but I was lost. I hen saw a forest off in the distance. I needed to find some shelter soon, so I started looking there.

I landed in the snow filled forest and walked forward. After a few minutes of searching, I found a cave in a cliff face. I walked in and looked around.

"This will be a good place to stay for the night." I thought.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" A voice asked. I turned around and saw a female, white Nigh Fury. My eyes widened in shock. She looked about my age. The female backed up a bit in fear, "Oh gods; you're a Night Fury." She said. She turned around, about to run away.

"Wait!" I called out, making the female stop, and turn around, "Please, I'm lost and I have nowhere to go. Can I say here for the night?" The female looked at me with confusion.

"Why would a Night Fury be asking a Snow Fury for help?" She asked. So she was a Snow Fury, not a Night Fury.

"I'm not like other Night Furies." I said. The female smiled.

"How so?" She asked.

"Well for one thing, I didn't kill you on sight." I said, smiling. The female nodded.

"True; true." She said, "Anything else?" She asked. I thought about it. There was one thing, but I was afraid to admit it.

"I was also the weakest on my island." I said. The female looked surprised.

"You don't look weak." She said. That made me amused.

"Trust me, I'm not lying." I said. A moment of silence passed before, "Well, my name is Nightwing." I said.

"Nice to meet you Nightwing." The female said.

"What's your name?" I asked. She then turned her back to me.

"You're going to have to earn the right to know my name." She said, straightening out her posture. I was taken aback, and impressed by her pride.

"Well I'm going to have to call you something." I said. She turned back around and walked passed me, into the cave. I turned around and thought about a name for her. As she laid down a the end of the cave I had some up with something, "So why are you by yourself beautiful?" I asked, smirking. She then quickly stood back up in surprise.

"Don't call me that." She ordered. My smirk quickly turned into a grin.

"Ok fine. Why are you here though?" I asked. She sighed as she lied back down.

"I'm running away." She said. This surprised me.

"What an extraordinary coincidence." I said. The female looked up at me with a puzzled look, "I'm running away too." She looked intrigued at my statement.

"Why are you running away?" She asked.

"Everything was so unfair, being the weakest just makes you a target for bullying. I tried to get help by having someone train me, but it didn't help that much." I said.

"I'm sorry." She said. I looked up at her.

"Why?" I asked.

"I'm sorry that you were bullied a lot." I nodded in understanding.

"What about you?" I asked. She looked down at the ground.

"I'm running away, because my parents wanted me to be someone's mate, even though I didn't love him." She said, "It's even worse because my parents are the leaders of my clan." I realised what that made her.

"So that makes you, like a Princess, or something." I said. She shrugged.

"I guess." She said. I then thought of something else to call her, and smiled, "What is it?" She asked.

"Nothing princess." I said. She looked at me angrily.

"You're not going to stop giving me nicknames until I tell you my name are you?" She asked. I shook my head.

"Nope" I said. Princess chuckled a bit.

"I'm feeling a bit tired; we should get to sleep." She said. I nodded and lied down a few feet away from her.

"Goodnight princess." I said, closing my eyes. A few seconds passed.

"It's Lightstar." Princess said. I perked my head up and looked at her.

"What?" I asked.

"My name; it's Lightstar." She said. I laid my head back down on my paws.

"Goodnight Lightstar." I said.


*The Great Hall Present Day*

"…and that's how we met." I said. After I had reunited with Lightstar we had gathered Hiccup, Lars and the other dragons in the great hall, and sat around the fire pit.

"Why didn't you tell us about this before?" Hiccup asked.

"I kinda forgot about her until now." I said.

"Wait, you forgot about me?" Lightstar asked.

"Well after being controlled by two Alpha dragons, you kinda forget some stuff." I said. Lightstar laughed.

"Well I didn't forget you." She said, snuggling up against me, making me feel awkward. I looked over at Stormfly and noticed that she had an angry look on her face. I lightly pushed Lightstar away, "Hey!" She exclaimed.

"I'm sorry." I said. Lightstar looked upset about me rejecting her, "Come with me." I told her, heading towards the door.

"Where are we going?" Lightstar asked, following me.

"We're going to talk in private for a moment." I said to the others. After we walked outside I closed the door behind me. When I turned around to speak, I was interrupted by Lightstar kissing me on the lips.

"I've missed you so much." She said without breaking the kiss. I pushed her away with my paws.

"I'm sorry, but we can't do that." I said. Lightstar looked at me with a sad face.

"What; why?" She asked.

"Things are complicated right now. Like we said, Stormfly's my mate." I said. This made Lightstar look even sadder.

"But, you promised me that we'd be together again. You can still keep your promise. Just leave Stormfly and be with me." Lightstar said. I growled in irritation.

"There's no way I would do that. For Thor's sake I have a son who's going to take my place as Alpha someday." I said, raising my voice. Lightstar looked shocked.

"Fine" She said in a soft tone, "I see how it is. Here I thought you were special, but you're just like every other male out there. You're just a selfish, lying bastard." She said.

"No, it's not like that." I said as Lightstar walked passed me, and to the door, "Wait" I ordered. Lightstar stopped just before she opened the door, "There may not be a way that we can be together as a couple, but there is a way that we can be together as good friends. Isn't there?" Lightstar turned around and smiled.

"Yeah; sure" She said. I smiled and walked over to her side, pushing the door open and walking through.

"Sorry about that."I said to everyone.

"That's ok, you didn't keep us waiting." Hiccup said.

"So what's happening with the Snow Furies?" Lars asked. Lightstar and I exchanged glances.

"They're staying." I said. I then heard Stormfly growl. I looked over at her and she walked passed me, towards the door, "Stormfly what wrong?" I asked, turning around. Stormfly didn't respond and she just shoved the doors open with force, and walked down the hill.

"What just happened?" Lightstar asked.

"I don't know, but I have to go ask her what's wrong." I said right before running out the door to go talk to my mate.


I'm sorry for updating this so late, I've had my hands full with a lot of stuff. But anyway, see you all next time, XenoX out.
