Chapter 9
"Well, I already know about the surprise party. Where are we going now?" Zenna asked as she and Stryka followed Hiccup and Toothless in the sky. "It's a secret." Hiccup stated simply and Toothless purred in agreement.
"Ooohh…Mysterious…I like that." Zenna smiled before Stryka chirped and nodded her head to another island down below.
"Here's our last stop, Zen." Hiccup told his best human friend.
Landing on the beach, Zenna looked around and noticed that the trees had…
"Are those orchids?" she asked, looking up at the flowers clinging onto the branches in wonder. "They are. You told me once that orchids are your favorite flowers, right?" Hiccup asked with a smile.
"I love orchids! And also tulips. They're my two favorite flowers in the whole world." Zenna gushed. Hiccup laughed and held Zenna's hand. "Then you'll love this." He said as he led her through the woods with Toothless and Stryka.
Every now and then they would stop for Zenna to admire the beautiful blooming orchids lightly swaying in the breeze. Finally they arrived at a small meadow that was filled with tulips of all colors.
"Holy…Holy…Holy…Shields…" Zenna murmured, her violet eye widening to the size of a plate. Toothless and Stryka looked at the flowers, smiling toothlessly at how pretty they were.
"How in the name of Freya did all these flowers get here?" Zenna wondered out loud. "A little time, patience and a lot of luck as well as frequent trips to water them." Hiccup enumerated, counting on his fingers.
Zenna looked at Hiccup in surprise.
"Wait…Hiccup…You…You're the one who planted all these flowers?" she asked in amazement. "Well…yeah. As soon as the dragons were accepted into the village, I began planning on how to make your 16th birthday really special since it was coming up. I got all the seeds and bulbs from various traders and when Toothless and I were just flying around exploring, we found this island. The climate here was good enough for orchids and tulips to grow so I planted them. Toothless and I have been flying to this island to tend to them ever since." Hiccup explained.
Then, the freckle-faced teen looked at Zenna and sheepishly asked, "So…do you…like it?" Zenna's face broke out into a wide grin. "Do I like it? I absolutely love it! Hiccup, this is the first time I've ever been surprised in my entire life! And this is the best surprise I've ever been surprised with!" she exclaimed, throwing her arms out wide before giving Hiccup a big hug.
"This is the most amazing birthday present ever…Thank you…" she whispered in Hiccup's ear, feeling overcome with emotion.
Hiccup gladly returned the hug while Toothless and Stryka trilled, happy that their Riders were happy.
I told you guys there'd be fluffy friendship scenes :D
