Another chapter in this month, I'm on fire! I feel so happy minus the acid refluxes (you guys did not need to know that) Anyway, please forget about what I just wrote and enjoy the chapter!

I had to wait until the middle the night, where Jenna was fast asleep, for me to sneak out. I quietly sneaked down stairs past the sleeping figures of the bottom floor. 'Now I know how Heather felt,' I thought to myself. 'Except I'm not spying on anybody.'

I had to be very quiet as I snuck through town, as in I might wake up the dragons. Waking the dragons would wake the people, and I didn't want that. I just wanted to make a saddle and take a basket of fish and go see my dragon again without anyone seeing so they wouldn't know I had a dragon.

I was making my way to the forge, when I realized I forgot something: Dragons have advanced senses.

Stormfly woke up when I passed by.

"Ella? What are you doing?"

"Shh," I whispered. "I'm going for a walk. Don't wake Astrid."

"Okay," She said. Then she went back to sleep.

"Phew."

I quietly made my way down to the forge. It was a good thing I had already took a glance at the saddle designs Hiccup had made for Toothless before coming down. So, I grabbed some leather, and started to work.

I had finished the saddle in an hour; hopefully it would be good enough. I was lucky for my 'It comes easily'. I snuck to the store house, and took a basket of fish. I was off to see my dragon.

"Why are you back so late? Do you have any idea of how hungry and bored I am? Do you know how worried I was?"

"It's just Berk," I said as I came through the cove. "What's there to be worried about?"

"That the secret may have come out; that they may have shipped you off the island for being too weird or for just plain lying to them in the first place."

"You're not making me feel better. I had to rat out to Toothless today of long I was actually here. Now I only have four days before I have to tell everyone the truth, and I don't know how they're going to take it; I don't even know how much of the truth I should tell."

"How's your relationship with Toothless?"

"It's worse than before, now that he knows I've been lying again."

"Maybe we should go flying; that will cheer you up."

"You should eat first," I said, dumping the fish out of the basket.

"Yay, Food!" She ate her fill. I didn't have to eat with her for a change because I've had all the meals for a day. After eating, we went flying in the darkness, away from the village. We were free to be ourselves and have the time of our lives. After flying, I said goodnight to Star, then went back to the village for some rest. Since I was up all night, I slept in pretty late.

When I woke up, I found a note. It said 'At lunch' in runes. I slept in till Lunch! That wasn't good; people are bound to notice something when you sleep in that long on the floor.

I made it to the great hall. Surprisingly, Jenna was there alone. None of the other riders were there. I went to sit next to her.

"Where are the other riders," I asked.

"Haven't you heard," said Jenna, taking a break from her soup, but not looking at me. Uh oh, "The other riders are busy training for Thawfest. It's the day everyone finds out what the dragon competitions are." She turned to look at me, oh phew. "You know, the day the episode starts."

"I guess we're changing it a little by being here, huh." I started to eat my own soup.

"As long as we're not in any of the important scenes, I don't think it will matter." She turned back to her own soup.

"It might," I said, stirring my soup. "They know we're here. We're the newcomers; they're bound to talk about us. Plus we're still staying in Hiccup's house until we find a way home, which we're no closer to doing."

"Stoick said that when trader Johan comes back to Berk, we'll be leaving with him. Since our island is in the trading route he seems like it is the best option for us to get home." Jenna seemed a little sad in saying that, but I guess we both knew it was coming.

"Since Trader Johan doesn't return until the 17th episode, and this is the 12th, we have 5 episodes and therefore about…5 weeks."

"5 weeks, I think we can manage that. How many days do you have until you tell the truth, a week?"

"Actually, I have 3 days," I said meekly.

"What? I thought you said Toothless gave you an extension for when you got back."

"Yeah, he did, but I was actually here longer than I said. I was trying to delay for time," I lied.

"Wait, for you to have 3 days left, it would mean you would have to have gotten here before me. How is that even possible? I left before you."

"I must have miscounted," I said hastily. Maybe telling her the truth was a bad idea. "Let's just say I have 3 days. It's a nice number."

"But in three days is the end of Thawfest. You're going to tell everyone the mind-blowing truth right after an episode?"

"I'll do it the next day then."

"Okay." We went back to eating. In the background, we could hear some Vikings arguing.

"I told you that everything was accounted for yesterday."

"Then how come that basket was empty this morning? That was a day's worth of fishing!"

"Hey," I asked Jenna.

"What," she replied.

"You've been here a while, do you know what they're talking about," I asked, gesturing the two arguing Vikings.

"Oh yeah, apparently a basket of fish was missing from the store house this morning."

"Did they find it," I said playing dumb.

"Oh no, the basket was empty, all the fish was gone."

"Oh."

"You don't know anything about it do you?"

"Why would you ask?"

"Seeing how late you slept, I would think you were up last night, you might have saw something."

Oh no, she knows I'm up to something.

"I couldn't sleep, so I went for a walk around town. I was feeling really guilty about lying to the people I shouldn't have been lying to, like you and the dragons. I got a little hungry around midnight, plus I thought food might help the stress I was feeling, so I went to the store house."

"And ate a whole basket of fish," she said looking at me quizzingly.

"No, I ate a little bit, but I left the door open and some terrible terrors got in and started eating out of the basket. I had to drive them out before more got in and ate everything, so I sacrificed all the fish from the basket, so I could close the doors."

"Okay, no more midnight snacks for you." She went back to eating. I can't believe that worked. I'm going to have cover my tracks more if I'm going to make 3 days, let alone 5 weeks.

How was that? Fun fact: when I planned out the conversation between Ella and Jenna, I had a 'Monday Morning' tone in mind, so for fun you can reread that conversation with that tone in mind. Besides that, tell me what you think of the chapter in reviews and stay tuned!
