"Do you mind if I go? I'm sorry, I'm missing flight sessions today. Meet me in the center of town in 3 hours?" Toothless asked me. My face feels like falling.
"3 hours?" I asked, trying to hide my disappointment.
"3 hours." He stated.
"Okay. I'll see you then." I say, showing as little emotion as possible.
"'K bye!" He whips around and runs like the wind towards town. I turn towards the forest.
"Okay. Bye." I start walking towards the cove, the only place I know to go in this forest.
I'm almost there when I hear a rustling in the bushes. I'm not nervous, so I sit down and wait for whatever it is to come out. I mean, I'm a Night Fury, what's going to eat me?
A human girl walks out of the bush and mutters angrily at something. "Gods forsaken, stupid, jerk-off, mentally insane… Oh, hi Toothless." Her feet are wrapped in many animals skins of which I don't want to think about, and they stumble over each other. Her skirt of snakeskin covers her legs, which are tightly wrapped in some other animal skin. The shirt she wears is loose over her well sculpted body. Most of her face is covered by loose, curly brown locks of hair, while the rest of her hair is in a sloppy braid over her shoulder. Her face is stern, and I can see a few small scars on it. Her eyes blaze a dark, dark brown, and they show her obvious anger. I consider running away from her for a few moments, but I realize that she is in too much distress to hurt me. Plus, she thinks I'm Toothless, and on Berk, nobody kills dragons. So I'm probably in the clear.
I roll my eyes at being called Toothless, and I hold up my tail. She notices.
"You're not Toothless, are you?" She asks, almost like she doesn't care.
I shake my head. I then cock my head to show I'm confused. This human doesn't seem too excited to see me, but more like she needs a friend. And I figure, why not be one?
"Are you wondering why I'm so upset? Well, I'll tell you." She wipes her nose. "My jerk of a boyfriend told me that his dragon was more important to him than me. He gave it to me straight and said after that "You're just too clingy, Gwen. Crooked-eye and I need some time alone together. You don't understand because you don't have a dragon." Well you know what, Bryce? I don't need a dragon to be a good person!" She is very fired up, so I place her hand on my head for her to pet me. Her hand pets me absent-mindedly. A small, forced smile forms on her mouth after a few pets.
"Thanks for the comfort. I just needed to get away from Berk. So I came out here in the forest. And I thought I'd end up alone, throwing large logs at other large logs. But here I find you, the only other Night Fury we know about. I have a weird question for you. Can I ask it?" Do I have the capability to say no? I want to hear her question though, so I nod my head.
"Are you a boy? Because, like, I'm creepy and I want to know if I'm complaining to a boy about girl problems." I shake my head.
"You're a girl?" I nod my head. She sighs with relief.
"Good. I was worried that I wasn't talking to a girl. Can I go on? What am I saying? You don't have to listen." I shake my head, trying to show that I want her to say more. Even if I'm fairly sure that this situation is going to result in tears. I want to hear more because I've heard about these breakup situations, and they sound hard. I was watching a girl dragon go through it once, it included a lot of tears. I want to help if I can, even though I'm not really sure how. Being alone for most of your life doesn't exactly get a male dragon to date you, let alone breakup with you so you can experience the breakup.
"So… have you ever had a boyfriend?" I shake my head.
"Well let me tell you...don't get one. They're jerks." She says, wiping her tear-stained face.
"Sit down and stay awhile. I'll tell you how annoying guys can be." She pats the area next to her. I was supposed to sit with her? Really?
