Everyone, including Ech and Clovis were inside the Dragon Training Academy practicing accuracy. Hookfang, Meatlug, and Stormfly had finished and Toothless was up next. After him would be Clovis. Hiccup stood next to his friend and smiled. "All right Toothless! Let's show them buddy!" Toothless readied himself and then fired his Nightfury blue projectile at the targets. Hitting each on the Bulls'eye
"Good job buddy." Hiccup patted his dragon and he purred. Ech smiled and walked up to the firing mark with her dragon. Once they reached the spot Clovis began preparing her acid fire. All the heads fired simutaniously. All hitting the target, all his the Bulls'eye, cept one. June, Powder, and Flourish gazed at their sister, Venus. Venus lowered her head in embarrassment.
"It's all right Venus we all make mistakes." Ech said, comforting her dragon. Laughter was heard behind her.
"Hahaha! Are you kidding me! That was hilarious! Your dragon can't aim!" Snotlout was laughing hysterically and Ech's dragon. Everyone gave him a distasteful look, even the twins.
"Don't listen to him Ech. Clovis did good. You two are so well bonded, especially on such a short time. I'm impressed." Hiccup's words of praise made Ech blush.
"Uhh right... So that's it for today everyone." He quickly turned his back to Ech and was about to mount Toothless when Astrid grabbed him and punched him in the arm. She began whispering to him and you could see Hiccup's face turn red. Ech laughed softly and turned away to face her dragon. She hugged Venus's neck softly and reassured her.
"All right Astrid... I will." Hiccup said, finally consenting to whatever Astrid ordered him to do.
"Now go..." Her voice was intimidating, but a hint of kindness was in it. Slowly Hiccup shuffled over to Ech, his voice was low.
"Ech... If you are free later... Would you like to go... on a date?"
Ech's heart felt a warm flutter in her heart and an enormous burst of happiness spread throughout her body. Without thinking she hugged Hiccup tightly and spoke quickly and loud.
"Yes of course I will go on a date with you Hiccup!" She quickly covered her mouth and mouthed Sorry with her lips. Hiccup chuckled and told her it was fine.
"In a few hours, meet at Black Heart Bay, Okay?" The girl nodded and Hiccup smiled then took off on Toothless. Ech just had a blissful moment, that moment with Hiccup. She did like Hiccup, but she also knew that Astrid liked him. Did she make him ask her out, if so... then why?
"Hah! A date with Hiccup! That's funny. Wouldn't you rather go on a date with me?" Snotlout was standing next to Ech. Showing off his muscles, hoping to impress her. She only rolled her eyes and walked over to the twins. Quietly whispering to them and they smiled.
"That's it. I officially love this girl now." Tuffnut said happily, Ruffnut agreed with her brother and they both mounted their dragon. The Hideous Zippleback named BarfBelch.
"Barf- Belch-, Fire!" The twins said together. Barf and Belch stared at Snotlout and fired at him. Snotlout screamed like a little girl and demanded that Hookfang retaliate on the twins. That should keep them busy for awhile.
Ech climbed on Clovis and waved Astrid goodbye. She left the arena and flew to her house. Ech has been on Berk for more than a month now. Everyone knew she needed a place of her own so they all pitched in to build her a house.
It was a small, simple, three room house. The first room was the entry room and living room, where Ech could relax from the hectic days. Next was the kitchen, where she could obviously cook. Last was her bedroom, it was a small, simple wooden bed with blue sheets. There was a door on the far end of her rom though that led out to Clovis's sleeping chambers. It was big enough for the dragon to stretch it's necks and take in the sun. There was no roof, so the rain could come in, which Clovis so dearly loved. Outside it looked like everyone else's except the dragon statue on the hood of the house. It was a Snaptrapper. Not only did Ech love it, but Clovis did too.
Ech had to prepare for her date. But what could she really do? Vikings showered rarely, one pair of clothes and hair was kept the same... Hair. That's what she could do. It was something small but it would do for a date at the least. She grabbed her pine brush and brushed it back. Usually Ech had her hair parted. The right side of her face was covered by her hair, she liked it that way too. Now both of her deep almond eyes could be seen.
After about an hour Ech was ready to go. She exited her house and Clovis was there waiting for her, like a loyal dragon. Powdered lowered her head so that her's and Ech's eyes were horizontal to eachother. She purred, approving of her master's simple, but new look.
"Thanks Powder, we should probably go now." Venus gently lifted Ech and placed her on their back, took flight and headed to Black Heart Bay.

When Clovis and Ech arrived Hiccup and Toothless were all ready there. They were over at the shoreline, the waves lapping at the sandy beach. Hiccup was silently, but nervously talking to Toothless, his dragon was smirking. Clovis landed and Ech jumped onto the sand. Hiccup looked over at her, his face red. Toothless was laughing.
"I'm glad you could make it Ech." He was holding out his hand to her. Ech smiled and graciously accepted it. He took her toward the ocean and sat down in the sand. Ech remained standing, quite unnsure what to do, but Hiccup gestured for her to sit as well and she obeyed. Toothless went over to Clovis and guided her away from the vikings so they could be alone together. Ech gazed at the ocean in the horizon. Such beauty this island had, she never wanted to leave.
"Ummm... Ech?" Hiccup voice was quiet, but Ech heard him and turned her attention to the boy.
"This is where we first met. Of course you were unconcious and I brought you back to my place." He paused and laughed weakly. "That sounded a bit weird didn't it?" They both laughed. Hiccup could feel his nerves going down. Ech meanwhile could feel her heart flutter with joy as she was spending time with Hiccup.
"I'm glad I washed up here on Berk. I've met new friends, befriended two dragons... and met you Hiccup." She gazed at Hiccup and his face was all red again. However, Ech put a frown on her face.
"But... You like Astrid though. Right?'
Hiccup quickly turned on the defensive. " No- I mean yes... But I like you more Ech! I mean, she practically forced me to get the courage to ask you out."
The girl smiled at Hiccup and touched his cheek lightly. Hiccup instinctively did the same and their faces slowly pressed closer. Then a magical feeling happened. A feeling neither of them would forget. A soft, but passionate... Kiss.
