Hello, sorry for not updating soon! Terrance, my guy friend, moved yesterday. So that's one of the reasons. My other friends had gotten me hooked on the band Black Veil Brides so that's another reason I'm so late. I finally reached a conclusion to write while I listen to music. (Music I listened to at the bottom)

Enjoy!
Astrid lay down on her bed. Day two was nearly approaching, and all she could ever think about was when this horrible curse would end.
It was so strange staring back at another person's reflection, or wearing their clothes, even speaking. Yet the most horrible thing was that their friends had no idea and they had to actually act like each other.
Astrid turned, pressing her face against her pillow (what did they call it?). Well, at least she didn't end up in Snotlout's body, that's one thing she will never be able to stand. Heck, she'd throw herself down the steepest cliff before the day even ended. So out of all of her friends, she was kind of glad that it was Hiccup's body she was stuck in.
Maybe it wouldn't end that bad for them at all. Maybe they could actually tell their friends about this. And maybe Thor is really a girl.
Yeah, this was bad. Astrid had stranded herself in a deep pit of trouble and the only way out was to wait for help to come. Help was about a month away.
The sun finally reached her room and the darkness hid behind the various items in her room. Day two was here at last. At last meaning it had taken it a whole entire sea voyage around the world.
Not wanting to start the day just yet, Astrid turned her head. She ran her hand through her now rusty brown hair. It was so very soft, were all people's hair like this? Why hadn't she noticed it before? There was so much she didn't know about him, take the scar on his face for example.
Her hand went to that. It was short and barely noticeable, unlike his other war wound. Speaking of it, it made her unhappy that she wasn't able to do anything that she was able to do before without it throbbing. Nor was she able to sprint that far. Oh well, only a day minus a month left, right?
Astrid's thought were interrupted. The door opened just a wee bit and made the quietest sound.
"Anyone there?" A voice whispered into her room. She knew that voice. She knew it better than the handle of her axe.
Siting up Astrid replied, "Come in."
He came in, stepping slowly and her brown boots making tap sounds as they hit the floorboards. The person sat on the edge of her bed and focused his attention on her.
"Hey." He said, smiling a tired smile.
Astrid nodded, "Enjoyed sleeping back at your house?"
"Yep, there's nothing like your dragon not being able to notice you when you walk into your room" Hiccup sighed heavily. "Speaking of dragons, I have to show you how to ride Toothless."
Ride his dragon? Wow, she never thought about ever having to do that. "Why? It's just a month. Not like anything bad is going to happen."
"Astrid, a lot can happen in a month. We're Vikings anyways, we should be ready for anything no matter what." Well, he did have a point there.
"Fine. When should we begin?"
"Does now sound good for you?"
^.^
Astrid
I stood at the cliff; Hiccup had told me that this was where he had learned how to control the tail. The tail, as in control it. How am I going to be able to do that? Maybe I'd make him pay by making him learn how to fight.
"Astrid, are you paying attention?"
My gaze switched from the blades of grass lying near my foot to Hiccup, "Honestly, I don't think this is possible."
"Says the girl who witnessed Vikings and dragons practically become one," he remarked.
Did he inherit my attitude when we switched bodies?
Hiccup went back to the lesson, explaining which way to tilt it for each possible move and whatnot. I listened this time, wondering how he was able to build something as amazing as that.
The time had finally arrived where I was able to actually ride Toothless. I sat on the brown colored saddle and secured the prosthetic to the…thingermabob—whatever he had said what it was.
These are now the words I had regretted saying, "Ok. I'm ready."
^.^
I really don't want to explain what had happened during the torture lesson; I wanted to still keep some of my dignity after that little mishap. Not like it mattered anyway.
I did, though, kind of learn the basics of the whole thing and according to Hiccup that was pretty much all I had needed to know for the moment. Hopefully nothing would happen—nothing so bad that they needed to call in the teens for help. Hopefully I didn't need to show Hiccup how to swing and axe. Hopefully I did not just jinx it by saying those two things.
It was only the morning and something not necessarily good already happened, who knows what the rest of the day will be like?
