Chapter 3
-Jason's POV-
I woke up this morning with Amber's head still in my lap. She looked peaceful, so I decided not to wake her. A few minutes later, Amber slowly opened her eyes and yawned. She looked up to me and licked my cheek. "Morning dad." She said.
"Morning Amber." I said. I then kissed her forehead and hugged her neck. She put her forward left arm around my back and held me for a minute. After we let go of each other, I stood up and looked at our guest. They were both sleeping soundly so we decided not to disturb them as we went get food. We walked outside the cave and went towards the stream not too far away. "So Amber you want to fish today or should I?"
"Hmm, I think I got it this time." Amber replied. She walked to the water's edge and started looking for fish. She then saw a school of them and fired a plasma bolt under them. The shot exploded and the shockwave killed the fish. They floated to the surface and I grabbed them.
"Good work Amber, I see you've improved your technique." I said to her.
"Thanks dad." She stated. Amber fished for a little bit longer until we were satisfied with what we caught. After we brought our haul to the cave, we noticed Toothless trying to wake up Hiccup. Hiccup was ignoring his dragon and kept rolling around in the bed. Toothless eventually got fed up and started licking his rider across the face. Hiccup started pushing Toothless away and the night fury eventually relented.
"Toothless that wasn't my bed. You know that doesn't come out." Hiccup said.
"Oh it is quite alright, Amber does the same thing to me at times. Unlike you however, I don't mind it." I called out.
"Hear that Hiccup? You should learn to enjoy it." Toothless said. Amber and I laughed. Hiccup guessed what he said almost perfectly and crossed his arms. The both looked over to us and saw the fish we were carrying. "Is that for us?" Toothless asked.
"Not all of it. We need to eat to." Amber replied. "Males and their big stomachs." Toothless pouted a little bit and Amber chuckled at her joke. We dropped the fish piles on the ground and I lit a fire for Hiccup. As we were eating, I was Hiccup look at me as I at the fish raw.
"Aren't you going to heat up your fish Jason?" Hiccup asked.
"Its fine, I prefer it raw. After all raw fish is healthy for you." I replied. Hiccup looked a little disgusted and Toothless stopped eating for a second and glared at me curiously. I shrugged them off and continued eating my fill. After we ate, I stretched myself out a little and we walked to the cave entrance. Hiccup climbed on Toothless and I climbed on Amber. I'm not ready to tell them about my ability to shapeshift yet since I don't know how they will react to it. Amber doesn't mind me riding on her back, but I never made a saddle for her. Hiccup then spoke up.
"Hey Jason, before me and Toothless shove off, would you want to come back to the edge with us? I'm sure it would be better living conditions than the cave you live in now and it would give you the chance to meet more dragon riders." Hiccup stated. I looked down to Amber and she looked back in the cave. She then nodded and looked forward again. I pated the side of her head and she looked up to me.
"I'll be fine. I'm sure it will be a better arrangement anyways." Amder said.
"We don't mind. Lead the way Hiccup and Toothless." I told them. They nodded and shot into the sky. Before we followed them, I leaned down and strapped the phone I brought with me to a strap I made for her arm. "So what you want to play this time?" I asked Amber.
"It's your choice today." She replied. I smiled and found what I was looking for. I tapped the song and the phone began playing Crush 40 – Free. After the song started we shot into the sky after them. As we caught up with them, Amber was singing the song and Hiccup and Toothless gave us curious stares. Amber really didn't care and kept up with the song. Soon the song ended and we approached our destination. We landed at their gathering building and we noticed the doors were closed. Hiccup and I dismounted from the dragons and Hiccup walked over to the door. He opened the door and walked inside followed by his dragon. I heard him get chewed out a little by a female voice and then I heard him call to us. I turned to Amber. She seemed a little nervous.
"You ready?" I asked her. Amber sighed.
"Ready as I'll ever be dad." She replied. I patted her head and we walked towards the door. Ready to open a new chapter of our lives.
