Chapter 3: Dragon Training

This chap is a bit more like the movie, hope you don't mind.

Criticism is also welcome under reviews.

Don't like the story? DON'T READ IT THEN!

Warned you.

The next morning, I woke up with a bad thought: Dragon Training starts.

I got dressed in my usual clothes: a sky blue top, a dark blue leather skirt with a grey belt, a pair of ice blue pants, my leather dark brown boots and my iron fingerless gloves.

I braided my long blonde hair before I got downstairs, where my sister was already waiting.

"Finally you got up." Astrid said. "Your breakfast is over there, I already ate cause Snotlout will pick me up for training."

I rolled my eyes, Snotlout Jorgenson was one of the promising younger Vikings and he was 17 years old, his hair is short jet black and his eyes are dark brown. Oh, did I already mention he's Hiccup's cousin via his mother's side?

"Yeah, go have fun with your boyfriend." I murmered.

"He's just as much my boyfriend as Hiccup is yours." she said and checked her nails. "But actually, he could be."

I rolled my eyes.

"Good luck." I wished her before I started my breakfast.

When Astrid was gone, I throwed away the rest of my food.

It was not that I didn't like it or so, I just hated to eat so much like uncle Finn tells me to do.

I don't care about gaining weight, there are enough Vikings who will kill dragons, they don't need me to do that.

Then someone knocked on the door.

I walked towards it and opened up to see Hiccup with his hands behind his back.

"Hiccup? Have you seriously waited till Astrid was gone with Snotlout?" I asked.

"Yeah… could I come in?" Hiccup asked.

"You're lucky uncle Finn isn't home." I said and let him in.

He didn't show what was behind his back, but I saw something purple.

"What do you have there?" I curiously asked.

Hiccup looked down at his feet and moved his right foot from right to left a few times.

I was surprised, Hiccup was usually never this nervous around me.

"Hiccup? Why are y-" I was cut off when Hiccup suddenly stepped forward and put his lips against mine while he was blushing heavily, his head red like a tomato.

I didn't pull away but I closed my eyes instead, returning the kiss.

While I did, I felt my cheeks become red.

We parted slowly.

"H-Hi-Hiccup?" I asked while I flickered my eyes.

"I just wanted you to know…. I love you. I've had a crush on you for 2 years now, just wanting to know how you feel." Hiccup shyly replied.

"Y-you just could've told me." I said as I took his hand.

"I was afraid you would reject me…." Hiccup said, still a bit shy.

"Don't be shy around me." I told him. "I do love you too."

Hiccup looked at me.

"The same way as I do?" he asked with a fearful face.

"I do." I answered. "I know which kind of love you mean. We're more than best friends Hiccup, we've always somehow been that way."

Hiccup smiled at me.

I pulled him in a hug and I felt his arms around my back.

We broke the hug and he gave me a bouquet of purple flowers.

I was speechless, I smiled. "They're beautiful!"

"Glad you like them. You're going to Dragon Training too?" he asked.

"My uncle said I had to." I sadly replied, taking the flowers from Hiccup.

Now I noticed he also wore fingerless gloves, dark brown leather ones.

"My father wanted me to." Hiccup sadly told me.

"Shall we, go to the Dragon Arena?" Hiccup asked.

"One moment." I said, running upstairs to put the flowers in a bucket with water.

I ran downstairs.

I grabbed my axe from the wall. "Let's go."

We stopped at Hiccup's house to get his axe and we walked to the Dragon Arena where Gobber and the other teens already waited.

"Welcome to Dragon Training!" Gobber said.

"No way back now." my sister said.

I rolled my eyes.

"I hope for some good burns." Tuffnut Thorston, one of the T-twins said.

The Thorston twins are actually the most brainless teens in town, they constantly fight and LOVE when things are destroyed. We've got Tuffnut, the boy, and his sister Ruffnut.

"Or at least a few deep scratches!" Ruffnut agreed.

"No kidding. Pain, love it!" Hiccup sarcastically said as we came into the Arena.

"Who let him in?" Tuffnut asked.

"No fight yet, ye need to be fit for the Dragons." Gobber said.

"So, what types do we have?" I asked.

"We've only got 4 training Dragons and two that will be the victim of our Champions, the ones who will get the honor of killing his first Dragon." Gobber said. "The training Dragons are Deathly Nadder, Zippleback, Terrible Terror and Gronckle."

"Bet that are a Monsterous Nightmare and a Thunderdrum." I said.

"How'd you know?" Gobber asked.

"The security of the cages." I replied. "A Monsterous Nightmare is able to burn anything on its way and a Thunderdrum can blast things with only it's roar."

"You're a specialist!" my cousin via mother's side, Fishlegs Ingerman, complimented him.

"Thanks 'Legs." I said.

"Don't think you know more than we do." Astrid warned her.

"Of course I don't." I told.

"Good." Astrid said.

I groaned, Astrid could be really annoying sometimes, especially when she was hanging out with Snotlout and the twins.

"Okay then, let's start with the Gronckle!" Gobber shouted and opened the cage.

"Aren't you going to teach us first?" Fishlegs asked in disbelief.

"He's a Blacksmith, he believes in learning on the job!" I called.

"Think fast! What do you need?" Gobber asked.

"Uhm… plus 5 speed?" Fishlegs guessed.

"No! A shield!" Astrid shouted.

"Good thinking work Astrid, now everyone, grab a shield! When you're blasted, you're death!" Gobber called and the Gronckle came out of its cage.

All the teens grabbed a shield.

Ruffnut & Tuffnut were already fighting and the Gronckle blasted them.

"Ruffnut & Tuffnut are out!" Gobber called.

I rolled my eyes, were they really that dumb?

"Jeeezzz, will those two ever learn?" I heard Snotlout saying that to Astrid.

'And you need to stop being so arrogant.' I said in my mind, not shouting it out loud.

The Gronckle roared and shot a lava-blast to Snotlout & Astrid, who both ducked another way: Astrid to the left and Snotlout to the right.

It went after Snotlout.

"Hiccup! Watch out!" I shouted.

But it was too late, the Gronckle had already blasted Hiccup's shield.

"Hiccup is out!" Gobber called.

"Must've hurt." I whispered to myself.

The Gronckle hadn't seen me yet, but I knew it would see me if I didn't watch my steps.

Hope you liked it.
