I guess I shouldn't be surprised. So far as an author, there's always a time where viewers don't review, and I haven't heard from a couple of you.

But that's perfectly fine. :)

I am a grateful person for the names and people that are loyal (and have started to be loyal) to me and my story. I couldn't have asked for better readers. I do this for all of you and because of your encouragement. (And I accept cookies! :D(::) I really do recognize all of your pen-names, and I do get happy when alerts ring at my phone.

As the tenth chapter (*sweat drop* really 10 chapters? Barely more than half-way done. :s) I thank these people~

Chapter 10: Action of Worrying

Next Day

Toothless

Worry is something I never worried about before. It was only myself I had to take care of. I didn't need to think twice on my actions, because it was just me. I didn't have to to worry. It was never necessary. But once others get involved in your life, worry is something you're going to have to get used too.

Unfortunately, I'm not adapting so well. I don't know what to say, what to do... I don't know if I should do something! I had no one to speak to when I was alone... even with time since, nothing's changed.

Sure, my thoughts do go on... but it's hard to explain what I think. Talking to females is no easier. I think it's easier talking to Hiccup. He's a human that can't understand me, which means our conversations are mostly one-sided, with me listening, and him doing most of the talking.

That doesn't mean that worry doesn't keep biting at my tail... or what's left of it. What should I do? The last couple of times IcyEyes exploded, I reacted with action... not words. My whole life's been action... never really words. So if I can't speak.. what should my next actions be?

IcyEyes stood completely still as she slept. After she told me about 'danger,' she turned away and refused to say more. I did try to ask... but as I've said before, words aren't in my skills. My eyes darted away from her and I gradually stood up. There's nothing to fear. There's something that just seems too suspicious about dragons not even making good effort searching and finding.

The dragons over there are not unskilled, and they are very aware.. no matter how blinded they are by no hope. I watched IcyEyes stir. I forced myself to look away because I know worry would start to bite and tear at me. Maybe I should ask her later... when the subject doesn't seem as bad.

I walked towards the lake and stared down at this fish. What did I have to lose? I could loose IcyEyes... or even my human friend, Hiccup.

Again... with the worry.

~-O-~

I continued to stare at the pond feeling bored. IcyEyes was awake, but she had taken a flight, by herself. As much as I wanted to follow her, I couldn't. And as much as I wanted to beg her not to go, and to stay with me, I wouldn't. It would be unfair to ask her to be grounded with me. So, I am bored.

"Whoa, ah, ooh!" I heard. My ears stood up and my head snapped towards the new sound. I saw Hiccup stumbling to get down from the top boulders. Before, I could help him, he successfully stumbled down. Hiccuo landed on his front and face, with his objects landing near him. I ran towards him. Hiccup muffled a groan, with his face still planted into the ground.

How do I check if he's still alright? I'm not the one who knows these things! I sighed and poked Hiccup with my claw. Then, I nudged him with my snout.

"Are you alive?" I asked myself, more than him. He used his front paws to support his body.

"OK, that wasn't a good idea.." Hiccup said using his paw to rub his head. He stood up on his hind legs and collected his objects. "A great way to start the morning, don't you think?" he asked. I sensed his sarcasm, but I nodded.

"So, Toothless, how's your morning been, as a Night Fury?" Hiccup asked not looking at me, and digging through his things. I snorted and rolled my eyes.

"Just great." I replied sarcastically. He glanced at me, while taking grasp of the saddle.

"I'm guessing not good. By the way, where's your friend IcyEyes?" he asked attaching the saddle and tail. I shrugged and snorted again.

"I don't know." I muttered.

"Some how, I understood that. Anyways, my mornings been OK. I had to avoid some people, because I suddenly interest them. I don't really care too much for that. Hate to say it, but you're better company than my people." Hiccup said. I smugly smiled.

"I know." I replied sitting up straight. He narrowed his eyes at me in a playful manner.

"Judging by your body posture, you look proud... which means you already knew.." he said. I said nothing but smiled. He clipped something and it attached to the saddle. "See, now I won't fall off." I looked at the thin thing attached. Hiccup mounted the saddle and tested it out by pulling on it. He grabbed the other thin thing attached to the tail.

"Lets do a test run first, then we can see if we can find IcyEyes. She might be close," Hiccup said. I growled in agreement.

I fully spread my wings. After I knew Hiccup was prepared and ready, I jumped in the air. It wasn't until I was properly in the air, that I start to flap my wings. One long flap after the other. Hiccup pulled on the tail, and I was able to fly in the air. My main direction was going straight, but I did stumble.

When I stumble in the air, I mean that I go too left and lean too much. It makes the flight more shakey than it needs to be. Still, I wasn't complaining. I was in the air. I flapped harder and I was able to keep flying as Hiccup pulled in the tail.

"Woahh! We're doing great, bud!" Hiccup said. Just as he said it, I stumbled some more. "Spoke too soon.."

As I flew forward, I could see a black spec up higher in the clouds. I could clarify that spec as IcyEyes. I was sure of it. I roared to her. It wasn't loud, just loud enough to she could hear. The spec gradually made its way closer and I could make the shape out as the form of a Night Fury. IcyEyes came down, and leveled in the sky with me. She looked shaken up, but I didn't question something I wouldn't get an answer to.

IcyEyes

They had seen me. They had called out to me. They had chased me. I didn't hesitate to bolt. I didn't listen. I didn't turn back. 'They' were Monstrous Nightmares. Adrenaline was coursing through me, and I could afford to make mistakes, only guile choices.

I don't do well under pressure though. Especially since panic had struck me, and I had to leave before I would get violent. No, I was not agressive, but I could slip easily. Only, at this moment, I would appear to be apprehensive.

I didn't keep track of the distance I was creating... all I wanted to do was escape. At this moment, once panic had worn off, I contemplating with my choices. It's fight or flight. As a Night Fury, I should've picked fight. But, it's not in my nature. I couldn't attack.. no, anger has to stay and be calm, or else it affects your actions.. and your actions affect your fate.

After I fled, I just flew in the skies, feeling numb. My usual joy if flying submerged deep inside of me. I didn't even feel like I was the one flying. So, I froze in flight, unsure of what to do. What do I do?

Only when there was a familar roar was my trance snapped. The owner of that roar was like a savior to me. I finally felt free to move. If Toothless was up in the skies with me, surely Hiccup would be too.

I dove down and stood near Toothless. As a good observer as he was, I knew he knew something was irregular with me. Yet, no dragonese escaped from his thoughts.

"Hey girl, there you are, well, we'll have to catch up later... this is getting a bit too- ahh!" Hiccup yelled as they steered into a meadow. My eyes widened at they suddenly drifted downwards into the meadow. I followed them down, but they had a safer landing than expected. Hiccup was able to jump off, and Toothless fell into the softness of the grass.

Toothless seemed to love the grass by the way he was dazed out in it, tongue almost drooping out. It almost seemed like he couldn't get enough of it. It made my tension ease, and I managed to let a light laugh escape from me. It was soft, and almost silent, and I wondered how Toothless was able to hear it. I know he heard, by the way his ears rose, he froze, and his rather large eyes turned to look at me.

But, once Hiccup came into view, Toothless continued to roll around in the tempting grass. The small human took sone grass in his paw and observed it.

"Icy! Feel this grass, it's just so..." Toothless said drifting off. I chuckled as my ears stood up with mild amusement.

"I'll have to deny your offer, I am well with just observing." I said giving an eloquent smile.

"OK, I respect your wishes." he said starting to get up. I looked at Hiccup, but he was too busy scribbling in the object in his hand. I was momentarily distracted by the carefully drawn lines that came from Hiccup's paw. All the lines were delicately constructed and it reminded me of how I treat those that are wounded with my remiedies.

Then, whosh! I was pushed into the ground. Toothless smirked at me and grabbed the grass with his teeth, then placed it on me. As I was about to get up, I began to rub against the grass. It felt soo... soft! The grass released such a special scent, that it affected the way it felt. It felt so tantalizing. I rubbed against it some more.

"Do you still just want to watch?" Toothless asked. I could hear the smugness in his voice. I lightly laughed.

"Look! This could be used as healing remedy... for dragons!" Hiccup exclaimed holding the special grass up. My attention was turned towards Hiccup. That brilliant human was right!

"This would be perfect for healing! He even thought of it before I did!" I exclaimed with excitement. Toothless turned towards Hiccup and narrowed his eyes at him. Hiccup saw this.

"What did I do?" Hiccup asked.

"For getting too many good ideas." Toothless said. I laughed at his remark. Suddenly, Toothless launched at Hiccup and chased him around the meadow. It didn't take Hiccup long enough to realize he should run.

"Why am I running?! Aren't I supposed to be chasing you?!" Hiccup asked. Toothless laughed loudly and continued to chase after Hiccup. "IcyEyes... a little help?" Hiccup asked. I stood up and ran beside him. My paw steps keeping up perfectly with his. "Not what I meant.."

I looked behind and saw Toothless laughing, and I laughed along with him. Then Hiccup stopped and put a paw in from of Toothless.

"OK! Stop.." he said as he panted hard. Toothless stopped in front and put his paw infront of Toothless' snout. In Hiccup's paw, was the special grass. Toothless' eyes dilated and sniffed the grass. "Really? There's grass all over here, and you want the in in my hand?" Hiccup asked sarcastically.

Toothless snorted and rolled his eyes.

"Find then, go get it." Hiccup said throwing it behind him. Coincidentally, I was behind him. The grass landes on my scales and Toothless smirked. "Opps.."

Toothless pounced at me, sending my back towards the ground. He had me pinned, and he had started to nip at my neck to my ears where grass had landed. Toothless had nipped on my ticklish spots, and I couldn't help but giggle and laugh. I squirmed underneath him, but he wouldn't let me go.

"Are you on my side now?" Toothless asked. I narrowed my eyes playfully.

"Never." I replied.

"Alright then." he said. Toothless had started to nip at me again and I squirmed and laughed.

"Fine! Fine!" I exclaimed. He stopped and gave me one of his toothless smile. I decided to return a dragon smile to him.

We were interrupted by a small clicking noise. Our noses seperated and we turned. Hiccup was standing there with his object in his hand. He had a big human grin and his face was colored a shade of red.

"Was I interrupting something..?" Hiccup asked with a light cheeriness in his voice. I felt very embarrassed at the scene Hiccup had witnessed. Toothless stood up looking away, as did I. I distanced myself with Toothless. The small human walked towards the male Night Fury.

"So.. you and IcyEyes..?" Hiccup asked with a grin and ceratin tone. Toothless narrowed his eyes and used his tail to harmlessly swipping Hiccup's head. "What?! I didn't say anything! Here I'm thinking you guys are friends.. but turns out I was wrong." Hiccup said grinning. Toothless glared at him now.

"I didn't even get to finish drawing you guys.. and how adorable-" he was cut off by a grunt/growl from Toothless. "OK, OK! I'll stop...," he said laughing. Toothless stopped. I could tell more thoughts lingered on the human's mind.

"Any thoughts on having chil-" this caused Toothless to use his tail to hit Hiccup's head a little more ruffly, and cause Hiccup to fall back. I still felt a bit embarrassed, but I laughed. The worry I had.. had finally alleviated.

This can work.
