ON SET

Hiccup placed a hand on Toothless's head to get him to sit still. "Okay, Astrid? So you don't fall off whilst filming, we've got hooks attached to the back of Toothless' saddle. Grab on to them and wrap your legs around my waist; I'm attached to Toothless due to this," he showed her the wire attaching them both. "Okay?"

He stared at Astrid, waiting for her to get it. After a few seconds he waved his hand in front of her face. "Helloo?"

"What- huh? Oh, hey," Astrid blushed deeply.

"Astrid, did you just hear anything I said?" Hiccup asked, sounding slightly frustrated.

"What? Yeah," she said, and walked away before Hiccup could catch her out. The blood-red was still burning her cheeks – she'd been having a few daydreams about him.

TAKE ONE

"Down, Toothless. Gently," Hiccup warned, and the camera zoomed in on to Toothless's face, the camera man sitting precariously on Hookfang, who was being directed by Snotlout for the directions to go in.

"Remember what I told you," Hiccup muttered to Astrid, who was suddenly filled with panic. What was she supposed to do without falling off? Screw Hiccup and his good looks, distracting her like that. Who did he think he was?

Toothless shot up in the air, making Astrid scream loudly. She wasn't acting. Her heart was hammering as she started to slip, and as she fell backwards Hiccup glanced back and his eyes widened. "Grab them, Astrid!"

She screamed again, because suddenly she was hurtling towards the water at what seemed like 100 miles per hour.

"Astrid!" she heard the director shout, and she could see Hiccup and Toothless do a flip in the sky so they were plummeting down towards her, their eyes wide with terror. Toothless reached forwards with his front legs, letting out a squawk, but suddenly Astrid thumped on to something scaly and warm.

She twisted round so she was hanging on to the familiar set of scales and gently her beautiful, heroic dragon settled her down on the ground, letting her slide off and nuzzling her worriedly.

"Astrid!" Hiccup shouted, running over to her. She was suddenly enveloped in a pair of warm arms and she could feel him shaking. "Did you not listen?"

She shook her head and blushed again.

He sighed. "Let's try again."

TAKE TWO

"What are you doing Toothless, we need her to like us!" Hiccup shouted, Astrid hanging on to him desperately as they flew towards the ocean.

Hiccup's wire had snapped a few minutes ago and he hadn't noticed, but maybe it was for the best.

Toothless ducked under the water and Hiccup was thrown off him as the currents pushed him off. In the water he saw the outline of Toothless swim off after some fish.

Useless reptile, he thought, and then Astrid yanked him out of the water and swam over to the side where they were picked up by Stormfly.

"At least your dragon is actually helpful," Hiccup muttered as he watched Toothless get pulled out the water, thrashing and throwing a tantrum.

Astrid spared a glance and laughed.
