I intend to tell you all thank you in the start of the next time I get around to a new chapter! I hope you guys like this new chapter!

You closed the door behind you and threw yourself on your bed with a growl. Those creatures ruined everything. If it hadn't been for them, you might have still had your mother, you might not have left, and you wouldn't feel so secluded. You were the only one that made sense here. You'd be smarter to try to train wolves than dragons. At least a wolf was small enough for a man to handle on his own. You stared at your ceiling for about an hour before finally deciding to move. You sat up and moved to stare out the window at the village. You heard Astrid coming up the stairs and smirked glad to have someone around that wasn't completely against you.

A dragon screeched outside as you saw the others coming back with their dragons. Hiccup glanced up at you giving you a halfhearted smile and wave. You rolled your eyes and slammed the wooden shutters.

You growled and turned around to see Astrid leaning on your door frame. She didn't say anything until she was sitting on your bed waving you over. You grudgingly got up and moved over to sit in front of her. "You know no one is mad at you, right? We understand that you aren't used to dragons being around. That's something that may take time to get used to."

You nodded, "I'm not worried about anyone being mad at me. I'm upset that everything is immediately being forced on me. I mean, you and Hiccup forced me to ride a dragon today. I just got here yesterday."

Astrid now nodded, "Yeah, that was our fault. We shouldn't have rushed you." She bowed her head shamefully. "You know, I think you'll find your place around here before long."

You smiled at her, "You really think so?"

She pushed your shoulder with her fist smirking, "Of course!" A mischievous smile spread across her face, "After all, how many people could go from trying to kill a dragon to riding one in five minutes flat?"

You pulled the pillow from behind you and hit her over the head with it. Laughing she snatched it from you and counterattacked. A war waged as the two of you started beating each other with pillows. Before long you were hanging upside-down off the side of the bed as Astrid continued to hit you with both pillows now. "Okay! Okay! Mercy!"

"Well, look at this!" a voice said from the doorway. You both looked up to see Hiccup standing there with a smile. Astrid gave you another mischievous look, and you knew what she was thinking. She pulled you back up on the bed handing you a pillow. The moment you were upright, you and Astrid chucked the pillows at Hiccup. Astrid's hit the frame of the door, while yours slapped him in the face knocking him on his back. "Oof! You've got a real arm! Remind me not to try to fight you!"

You breathed on your nails and polished them on your shirt. "It's a gift. Now, what are you doing here?"

He climbed up and dusted himself off, "I came to apologize again for what happened today. I was trying to show something onto you that you weren't ready for. That ride with Toothless was never supposed to turn out that way either." He rubbed the back of his neck, "Plus, I'm sorry for mistaking you for your sister yesterday."

You smiled, "Apologies accepted. Why don't we start over?" You stood up from the bed and walked over to him with your hand out, "(Name) Hofferson."

He chuckled and accepted your hand, "Hiccup Haddock"

"Now, I assume I wasn't the only reason you're here." You turned to your sister and tipped your head toward the door signaling her to go.

"Thank you, (Name)." She walked past you and slapped your shoulder.

They closed your door before walking next door to her bedroom to talk. You flopped on your bed and stared at the ceiling. After a few minutes, when you were just starting to drift off, you heard Astrid and Hiccup yelling at each other. Then, the door slammed and Hiccup stomped down the steps with alternating thumps and metal clanks, and slammed the front door as he left.

You cautiously got up and walked to Astrid's room listening at the door. You could hear muffled sobs on the other side. "Astrid?" you asked hoping she'd hear you. With no response, you opened the door to see her curled up on her bed her face buried in a pillow. You quietly walked over to her and sat on the edge. She sat up and looked at you will already puffy red eyes. Silently, you wrapped your arms around her. You knew that were she with anyone else, she would have pushed them away, but it was you. She let her head fall to your shoulder as you held her.

It seemed to be hours that passed, and it was possible that it was true. When her head came up from your shoulder, she wiped the moisture from her face and have you a halfhearted smile. You two didn't have to speak to know what was happening. Even a child could piece things together. They'd broken up. They were no longer Astrid and Hiccup. Now, they were Astrid...and Hiccup.

Astrid's voice came out gravelly from her constant sobbing, "I'm sorry. I really didn't mean to keep you up."

You shook your head, "I was still up." A comforting smile graced your features, "I'm always there when my sister needs me."

She scoffed, "As long as it doesn't have to do with dragons, right?" Both of you chuckled.

You placed a hand on her shoulder. "If it had to do with a dragon, I'd still be there for you. You're the only sister I'm ever going to get, so if it makes you feel better," you paused taking a deep breath, "then, I'll learn to trust the dragons."

Astrid stared at you in shock not believing what she'd just heard. "A-Are you serious?!"

You pursed your lips and nodded. If it made her quit crying and made everything else a little better, it would be worth it in the end. "I'll do it, but we both need some sleep. I'll help you with chores tomorrow, and only then can we work on my dragon desensitization." You smirked and tried to push the fear in your stomach as far away as possible.

She smiled at you, "Sounds like a good plan. I'll let you get back to bed. Good night, (Name)."

You gave her one more smile before getting up to leave her room, "Good night, Astrid."
