First of all, I am really sorry it's been taking so long to update. School just got a lot harder, and I have writer's block right now. I hope this makes up for it. Hope you enjoy.

One year later,(sorry for the time lapse.) It was almost mating season, and I was practically going nuts with worry. What if Luna didn't wanna be mates? I would make myself look like a fool and someone who was just desperate for a mate. I did not want that to happen.

Toothless and my dad encouraged me to do it, and not to worry. That didn't stop me from going insane.

I had also grown a lot. I hadn't turned into human for a long time, and I decide to just now do it, just because. My hair had grown a bit longer, I was definitely taller, and my face had changed. But just a bit.

It was only a week before mating season started, and I was in the Moonstone cave with Toothless.

"Hiccup, just stop stressing. She's gonna say yes!" He said.

"I don't know." I replied. "Maybe she won't say yes, and she'll just leave me." I set my head down between my paws.

"She will say yes. You heard dad, she does love you!" He pointed out.

"Yeah, but maybe she's changed. Maybe she doesn't love me any more." I stared at the shimmering crystals around the cave. What if she did change and my dad was wrong? I would really make myself look like a desperate dragon. I really wanted her to be my mate, but she probably didn't even feel the same way.

"Come on, Hiccup. Do you want her or not?" Toothless said.

"You know I do." I lifted up my head and looked at him.

"Then stop saying she won't agree!" He said. "You have to believe she'll say yes, Hiccup."

"Who will say yes?"

We snapped our heads over to the entrance and saw Luna standing there.

"Nothing." We both said quickly, and Luna stared at us.

"What were you two talking about?" She asked.

"Nothing." I said, and walked out. I did not want her to find out about this.

. . .

Before I knew it, it was the day before it was Mating season.

I kept practicing what I was going to say, so I didn't accidentally say something else, or stutter so much she couldn't tell what I was saying.

If she did say yes, then the mating rituals would be easy. In order for two dragons to become mates, they must perform a sort of ritual. The two dragons would fly into the air, side by side, and fly one round around the nest. Then they would go right to the top of the nest, lock talons, and fall to the ground. But before they hit, they had to let go of each others' talons, and glide across the ground while producing a beam of fire that had to scorch the ground, indicating that the mating was a success. It was the ultimate trust test for any dragon. And because Luna and I had been together for the past three years, we had formed a strong trust in eachother. Granted it's only been three years, but it was enough to form enough trust to do the rituals.

I stood outside the nest, watching the sun go down. Watching sunsets always calmed me down, no matter how stressed I was. I looked at the scars on my left tailfin from when I was held captive on Berk. My time there was enough to make me believe that Vikings could never trust dragons, much less ally themselves with them. And the scars on my tailfin was proof that I was right.

"You okay?"

I looked beside me and saw Luna. "Yeah. I'm just thinking." I replied.

"What about?" She asked, and sat beside me.

"Tomorrow."

"What about tomorrow?"

I started to think if right now would be a good time to ask her. But mating season started tomorrow, not today. But I might not get as good of a chance as now, so I decided to go for it.

"Luna, could I ask you something?" I asked.

"Sure." She said.

"Luna… will-you-be-my-mate?" I said quickly.

She looked at me for a second, and I thought she would wap me upside the head with her tail right then and there. But she just let out a laugh and smiled.
"Yes, Hiccup. I will be your mate." She said, gave me a small lick on the head before going back into the nest.

I jumped into the air and roared in celebration. She said yes! Luna was going to be my mate!

. . .

The the next day, I met Luna at the entrance to the nest. I had told Toothless and my dad that Luna said she would be my mate, and they both went nuts. It was time for dragons to start mating, and we were about to go in and start the ritual. I looked over at her.

"Ready?" I asked.

She nodded, and we flew into the nest. The thing is: You can't practice the rituals. That's why it's such a big trust test. You have to let go of eachother at the same time, or you could go off course and get severely injured, resulting in failing the mating, and you have to try again next year. I was really hoping that didn't happen.

We started out with simple part, flying side by side, and almost touching each other, and went around the nest. Then came the hard part; The dive.

We reached the top, locked talons, and nose-dived toward the ground. I could feel the eyes of the watching dragons, seeing if we would succeed or not. I could almost smell Luna's fear coming off her in waves. The ground came dangerously near, and we were ready to let go. Sensing Luna about to let go, I released her claws and so did she. I blew a low flame across the ground beside Luna's, and silently celebrated. We did it! We were finally mates!

I looked over at Luna and smiled. This was the best day of my life.

I did not expect it to be this long at all. I thought it would only be like two scrolls down and it was done. So, I need you guys's help. Let me know in the reviews if you think I should bring Heather into this story or not, cause I have no idea what to do for the next chapter. But if you guys have ideas for what I should do next, I am open to ideas. Hope you enjoyed and please review!
