A/N: And no, there's not going to be any male-Astrid. Sorry, I thought I'd already made this statement, but I didn't.


(HICCA'S P.O.V)

It was the early morning and I was pretty happy today. I'm going to spend the day with Koryn, after she had asked me, yesterday. I was also amazed I learned that everything we Vikings knew about dragons was dead wrong. They aren't merciless killing machines, but gentle creatures that are much smarter than we gave them credit for. I owe that revelation to Toothless, my new best friend. Anyway, as I said, I got early, today, and spent an hour cleaning myself up. It took every ounce of my willpower not to fall asleep in the very relaxing tub. I was snapped out of my thought by someone knocking at the door. It's Regina.

"Hey, Hicca, did you fall asleep in there, or what? Don't forget you have a special outing, today" she said, in a teasing tone, much to my confusion. Ever since Koryn asked me out, Justin sent me these odd smiles that had some ulterior motive and now Regina's teasing me about it. What's with this? I'm just going out with Koryn, and that's it. Any, I think I stayed in this tub, long enough. I step out and dry off with a soft towel. I step out of the bathroom and see Regina giving the exact same look as Justin did. I ignore it and got dressed. I made some changes to my regular outfit after yesterday. I wore my harness instead of my vest, now, and I had sewed my new Sky Flier cape to the left shoulder pad of my harness.

"Welp, I'm going out. We might be out, all day" I said, climbing up the ladder. Toothless followed close behind. I still don't get how he's able to climb up this ladder so easily. We leave the tower and see Koryn standing, waiting for me, in front of the mess hall. As we got close, she spotted us and smiled, which made me smile back.

"Hey" I said.

"Hey" she replied, a faint blush on her cheeks.

"So, where do you want to go?" I asked. She never said where we would go, yesterday.

"Oh, there is a beautiful spring not far from here. I thought we could go for a nice, relaxing, swim" she said. I haven't swam in a while.

"Great. Hop on Toothless" I said, mounting Toothless. Koryn looked uncertain.

"Uh, are you sure we can trust him?' she asked, fearfully. I smile gently.

"Yes, he may look fearsome, but he's a big pussy cat" I said. To help, Toothless let his tongue hang out, making it hard to be afraid of him. She giggles at the sight and, slowly, she climbs on behind me, wrapping her arms around my waist. Once she was secure, we take off. Koryn yelps in surprise, as this is likely the first time she's ever been in the air, before. We stop in the air.

"Okay, which way?" I asked, glancing at Koryn. She hesitantly looks around and points to the South. We take off in the direction. The fight was quiet as Koryn leaned against my back, probably lost in thought or trying not to look down. Her eyes do start to drift around, in awe of the beauty that the sky had. I couldn't help but smile at her amazed expression. This must be her first time being up so high, and she's enjoying it. She looks over my shoulder.

"The spring is just up ahead, past those two large trees" she said, pointing ahead. I follow her finger and see the two large trees up ahead. We flew past them and landed in a large clearing and I see the spring. It was huge, almost like a lake with several waterfalls feeding into it from a cliff. We dismount and I gaze in wonder at this sight. I faintly hear Koryn giggle, likely amused by my reaction. I'm brought out of my awe by her tapping my shoulder.

"I'll go find us a shady spot to relax" she said, our eyes locking before she walks off. I hear Toothless give a throaty laugh and I turn to glare at him.

"Oh, you find us amusing, do you?" I asked, rhetorically, as Toothless gave me a massive smirk.

"You forget I'm the only reason you can fly, so don't get smart with me" I mock-threatened. Toothless didn't seem to care as he yawned, as if I just bored him. I give him another glare.

"Hey, Hicca! I found us a spot!" Koryn yelled.

"Coming!" I yelled back. I run off to Koryn while Toothless a spot to sleep, for the time being. I find Koryn standing under a large shady tree that covered a small ledge. Koryn was on her knees, waiting for me. She spots me and flashes a warm smile at me as I sit down next to her.

"This place is beautiful, Koryn" I said, nearly breathless. I barely noticed Koryn staring at me, blushing madly. She turned away when I looked at her after forcing myself to turn away from this amazing sight.

"Yeah… it is" she said. After a short silence, she stands up and proceeds to take off her dress and boots, leaving her only in her underwear. She undoes her bun, letting her long hair flow down her back. She glances at me.

"Well, shall we?" she asked with a raised eyebrow. I flash a small smile being stripping down to my underwear, as well. I ran my hand through my chin-length hair. I keep it short so it doesn't caught on anything. Koryn jumped in first and I followed suit. I don't know how long we stayed in the water, as I lost track of time. We did do some swimming, but it soon turned to playfully splashing water at each to diving under to see what was at the bottom. Neither of us could hold our long enough to reach the bottom, though. I laughed when a frog came and landed on her head, much to her confusion and own amusement. Eventually, we started getting cold, so we got out and wrapped ourselves with some blanket Koryn brought. The sun was directly overhead, meaning it was around midday. Toothless was still sleeping, seemingly not paying attention to our time together.

"So, Hicca. Did you have any boyfriends?" she asked, out of the blue. I stifled a giggle.

"Nope. Most of the boys back on Berk saw me as unattractive or too weak for their standards. They'd rather kiss a Monstrous Nightmare than me, I heard one of them say before" I replied. Normally, such words would hurt me, but I actually don't feel anything. Guess spending all this time away from Berk has made me forget all of that.

"That's kind of like me. Everyone thought I was ugly all because I have two different colored eyes. My parents ignored me except when I do something that they think is wrong. Guess that's the main reason I came here. To find acceptance" Koryn said, hugging her knees. I wrap my arm around her shoulder, not noticing the blush on her face because of that.

"Guess we have something in common. We're both outcasts in our respective homes. But, we're here, in a place that accepts us, so what they say doesn't matter anymore. They can't hurt us here" I said, hoping to lift her mood. It works as she flashes me a wide smile.

"Thanks, Hicca. You're a great friend" she said, then muttered something I didn't hear. To my surprise, she lays her head on my shoulder, but I didn't mind, as she looked comfortable. She closed her eyes and sighed in content. Man, she sure did look cute. Wait, where did that come from? I shake my head, trying to figure why I thought that. I let it go, quickly, though and just enjoyed this moment.


(THIRD PERSON P.O.V.)

Back at Heaven's Peak, Justin was grooming Silverbolt, who was enjoying every second of it and kept squirming a few times.

"Hold still, Silverbolt. I can't properly groom you if you can't stop squirming" he said with a chuckle. He heard grumbling and saw Bernice trudging up to him, covered in dirt and foliage of all kinds and had a few cuts on her exposed skin.

"Whoa, what happened to you?" he asked.

"Velociraptors. A whole pack of them" she replied. Justin cringed at that.

"Sounds like you had a rough day" he said.

"No kidding! Now, where's Hicca and Koryn? I haven't seen them at all, so far" Bernice said. Justin smirked widely at that.

"Out on a date" he said. Bernice did a double take.

"Seriously?!" she exclaimed. Justin nodded. Her mouth is now hanging open.

"I didn't think Hicca rolled that way" she said, out loud.

"Things like this, Bernice, aren't set in stone. They can change when in the right situation" Justin said.

"So, when will they back?" she asked.

"Sundown, most likely. And something tells me a new couple will be born, soon, as well" Justin said with a smile.


(HICCA'S P.O.V.)

Out of nowhere, I let out a loud sneeze. The sudden movement startles Koryn awake, as she was about to fall asleep on me.

"What's wrong, Hicca?" she asked, concerned.

'Oh, nothing. I just sneezed, for some reason" I said.

"Huh. They say that if you sneeze, someone is talking about you" Koryn said, matter-of-factly.

"You don't believe that, do you?" I asked her, skeptically. She just shrugs. Another hour past and we were dry enough to put our clothes back on, which we did. I noticed the sun was starting to dip, meaning it was getting late.

"Well, we better get back to Heaven's Peak. It'll be dark in a couple hours" I said. Koryn nods and head back to where Toothless was sleeping. He wakes up as we approach, seemingly knowing what we want. Once he was fully awake, he climbed on and took off back to home.


When we got back, Koryn was feeling rather tired and headed home. I walk back to my room, trying ignore the smirk Toothless was giving me the whole way. As we climbed down, I spotted Regina on the floor, messing with some gadget in her hands, as usual. I kept quiet as to not disturb her and head over to my bed while Toothless went over to his slab.

"Hey, Hicca. How was your time with Koryn?" she asked, suddenly, not looking up from her tinkering.

"It was great. I've never had such a good time in my life" I replied.

"Good to hear. Koryn's a really amazing girl if you can stand her overzealous thinking of some things. Come to think of it, she's been surprisingly reserved whenever she's around you" Regina said, thinking it over a bit. Huh, and I thought I was the only who noticed that. She has been rather level-headed with me, despite being known as rather enthusiastic, especially when it comes to making clothes. I shrug and noticed Regina finished her tinkering. It was a bronze colored ball that, suddenly, grew wings and started buzzing around, like a fly. It bopped me on the nose before flying off, which made her giggle.

"What's that supposed to be?" I asked, confused.

"A toy for Toothless" she replied. At that moment, it started bopping Toothless on the head. He tried his best to ignore it, but his patience wore out, quickly. He glared at it and tried to swat it with his paw, but the little gadget dodged. Toothless spent the next few minutes trying to swat it, but it dodged every single time. It was really funny. It eventually stopped flying and Toothless sent it one last glare before laying his head back down.

"I don't think he likes it" I said, trying not to laugh.

"Give it time. He'll grow to love it" she said, picking it up

"Right" I said, not really believing her. Without another word, I climb into bed while Regina heads back to her workspace. It takes about ten minutes for me to fall asleep, mostly since I hear the sound of a storm going on outside, and it sounded big. I didn't muse on it when sleep finally came over me.
