Here comes the drama…

And, in response to my Guest Reviewer, MMM's questions: 1. I am currently focusing on my current stories and have no plans as of now to do a Race to the Edge story with Zenna although I have plans of making a "Watching the Series" someday. 2. No, I haven't watched Dragonheart but it sounds interesting.

In the meantime, here's the next chapter. Prepare thy feels and tissues.

NOTE: I OWN NOTHING

Chapter 3: No Longer Okay

Zenna's POV

Knowing Hiccup, I know he had headed for the Cove so I got on Toothless and clicked open the stirrup. Soaring into the air, with Stryka following us, Toothless and I flew to the Cove. I spotted Hiccup sitting at the edge of the pond, looking down at the ground, and I landed behind him. Getting off of Toothless, I was about to say sorry for surprising him with the news of my sudden departure when Hiccup turned around to face me with an emotionless look on his face.

"So you're leaving next month just like that?"

I winced a bit upon hearing the icy harshness in his tone but kept my composure. "I know I probably shouldn't have kept this a secret from you, Hiccup, and I'm sorry. But there was a pretty good chance that I wasn't going to get in so I decided not to tell anyone…" I said carefully. Hiccup laughed coldly at me, something he's never done before, and sarcastically said, "You know, you should get an award for 'Best Secret Keeper' because that's one of the things you're really good at."

Toothless and Stryka both whined at the sudden change in Hiccup's demeanor and I bristled in slight fury. "Rude much…" I muttered under my breath. Hiccup glared at me and his hands clenched into fists at his side. "All this time…You'd been planning this all along…" he murmured. "Planning what?" I asked, already getting annoyed. "Leaving me! I thought we'd always have each other's backs! We promised to each other to never leave each other alone! And, now, you're just going to leave me alone for five years and toss everything we've been through together down the drain?!" Hiccup suddenly yelled at me, shocking me to no end. "Well, excuse me for trying to pursue my dreams of helping people! I'll only be gone for a few years! Why are you overreacting?!" I snapped at him.

Normally, when Hiccup and I would argue, we would both try our best not to get into a shouting match but the rule's already been thrown out of the window since Hiccup and I were now yelling at each other.

"Overreacting?! I'm pretty sure that my reaction's completely appropriate for someone who's about to be abandoned by his best friend for almost eight years!" Hiccup shouted at me. "Oh, so now you think I'm abandoning you?! Very mature, Hiccup, real mature!" I shouted right back at him.

The shouting match continued for who knows how long. I'm pretty sure our fight was so loud that the whole village could hear it because I could vaguely hear the footsteps of several people, most likely my parents, Stoick, Gobber and Hiccup's and my friends, getting closer. But, in that moment, I didn't care. Blind fury filled every nerve of my body and compelled me to keep up with the argument.

Then…I went too far.

"You know what? Maybe it was a mistake on my part to be friends with a mistake like you!" I shouted at Hiccup with such fury that I was seeing red. That's when Hiccup's scowling face turned into one of unmasked shock along with Toothless, who was gaping at me with his toothless mouth wide open. 'Oh, you've really gone and done it now…Nice job, Zen…' my conscience told me and I realized my mistake. I was just about to try and say something to take back all of those nasty things I said when Hiccup glared at me and said darkly, "Well, then, you just admitted that you and Elias both made the mistake. I guess that means you've admitted to yourself that you're just like everyone who looked down on me, except, now, you're a one-eyed freak."

And, just like that, the anger in me resurfaced.

"A one-eyed freak?! Oh, you did not just go there, you…you…one-legged runty human pogo stick!" I screamed at him before I lunged at him.

Hiccup's POV

Zenna made the partial mistake of training me in hand-to-hand combat because, thanks to all those workouts and sparring sessions she made me do with her, I can already deflect her blows and tussle with her like it's no big deal. We rolled around on the ground, yelling insults at each other, with Toothless and Stryka both desperately trying to pry us away from each other.

"You sicken me, Haddock!" Zenna shrieked at me as we grappled. "I've heard better comebacks from a dead eel, Fiersome!" I snapped at her. Suddenly strong arms grab me and pry me off the girl I had once considered as my sister. Thrashing around, I look up to see Dad restraining me while Zenna's parents hold her back from me. Only when he saw that Zenna and I weren't planning on attacking each other again did Gobber give them the signal to release us. But no physical pain was ever going to combat the emotional pain I felt inside. Not only was Zenna abandoning me but she had also called me what everyone else had called me back before I met her.

A mistake.

Worse than that, she regarded our friendship as a mistake now. Maybe that's what it had been all along…

As if we could read each other's minds, Zenna and I both began to shout again.

"That's it! I've had it with babysitting you!" Zenna yelled at me. "I'm tired of always having to hide behind you and let you take over everything!" I yelled right back at her.

"From this moment on…"

"Starting today…"

"WE'RE NOT FRIENDS ANYMORE!"

I could hear Dad, Gobber, Zenna's parents, Astrid, Fishlegs, Snotlout, the Twins and even the dragons all gasp. Bet they weren't seeing that coming. But Zenna and I had made our minds up. We were no longer friends…and we were no longer siblings. From now on, we were on our own.

"I'm not even gonna stand being in the same space as you anymore!" Zenna snapped at me. "Fine with me!" I snapped back before mounting Toothless as she mounted Stryka. When we both lifted off, Toothless and Stryka both tried to get us to reconcile by flying closer to each other but Zenna and I stubbornly steered them off in opposite directions. "No, bud! We're not going anywhere with them, not anymore!" I said and harshly gripped the edges of the saddle and yanked to make Toothless go North while Zenna commanded Stryka to fly South.

And not once did I look back…so Zenna wouldn't see me cry.

Normal POV

Once the two teens and their two Night Furies had gone, Astrid, Edgar, Fishlegs, Gobber, Henna, Snotlout, Stoick, Ruffnut and Tuffnut all looked at each other. To say that what they had just witnessed was shocking would be a massive understatement.

For as long as they knew Hiccup and Zenna, they all thought that the two best human friends would remain a dynamic duo forever. Their friendship was just as strong as their friendship to their dragons and they honestly thought that Hiccup and Zenna's friendship would last forever.

Now it was no more. And the two siblings not by blood but by bond had cut off their ties to each other…and it looked like it was for good.

"Can somebody please tell me what in the name of Thor just happened?" Fishlegs squeaked out, breaking the silence. "Hiccup and Zenna just broke up…" Snotlout mumbled, blue eyes wide. "Wait, I thought they weren't dating," Ruffnut said, confused. "They weren't. What Snotlout meant was that they broke up their friendship. Still, I did not see that coming," Tuffnut remarked. Astrid could only look at Stoick and Zenna's parents worriedly. Gobber sighed and patted Stoick's shoulder, knowing that his old friend was reeling from shock.

"This can't be happening…Today was supposed to be a good day for them…" Stoick muttered worriedly. "Stoick, we're so sorry. Apparently, our daughter's announcement angered Hiccup. We're so sorry," Henna apologized profusely. "We just need to let them calm down for a while now. When they've let go of their anger, we'll try to convince them to make amends…" Edgar sighed.

"I just don't understand why Hiccup got all mad just because Zenna announced that she was leaving. If she's going away to become a doctor, shouldn't he have been happy that she was finally about to fulfill her dream?" Snotlout wondered out loud, making everyone else look at him in shock. "What?" the Jorgenson boy asked them. "You just asked a question that made sense," Gobber pointed out. "And to answer your question, Snotlout, I think the reason why Hiccup got mad was because he thought that, after everything she's been through with him, Zenna was going to stick around for a long time," Fishlegs told him. "Then she got into that Hippocrates guy's school and, now, she's going to be leaving him in a month," Ruffnut added. "And she just had to make her announcement today, which is her and Hiccup's Friendaversary," Tuffnut chimed in. "The worst possible day to make an announcement like that," Astrid finished the complete thought.

No other words were said but everyone had the same hope that Hiccup and Zenna would eventually reconcile.
