The atmosphere of Berk city at night was calm and quiet. At least for the moment. The Outcast and the other criminals were laying low. And with good reason, for it had three heroes constantly patrolling, vigilant and always prepared to stop any criminal activity.

On this particular night Frost and Calamity stood atop a tall building, side by side, neither talking as they listened to the sounds of the city, watching the people go about as they watched over them. Calamity sighed at Frost's side. Already it had been nearly two years since she'd become a hero. Since she'd met her two best friends in the entire world and got to experience what it was like to be human.

But no matter how much time had passed, Calamity's thoughts were never far from one person. The one she'd given up. The one she'd let go. The love of her life. The boy who'd captured her immortal heart. Her zing.

Johnny.

She let out a sigh again, prompting Frost to look to her. "You alright M?" he asked.

"Yeah, I'm good," she answered back casually. She was...content with her life. She had good friends, a job, a place to live, an exciting life that was rewarding. But she still had no one special. Even during these two years Mavis hadn't formed another special bond with another person. She'd been on a few casual dates, but they never amounted to anything.

All because they weren't Johnny.

She shook her head, trying to stop moping and thinking about the human boy who was probably better off without her.

"So M, can I ask you something?" Frost asked out of nowhere. Calamity looked to him and nodded. "You ever think of Johnny?" he asked.

Calamity flinched at the strange, and frankly unwanted, question that forced her to think about her ex. She huffed and turned away. "Let's not talk about this," she said quietly.

"C'mon M. Me and Hiccup have seen it. Lately you're all mopey and down. You can admit it. You miss him," he pressed.

Mavis thought back to the past few weeks, and truth be told she had been getting a little sad as the day that marked her two year break up with Johnny approached. "Really Frost, I don't want to talk about this," she repeated a little more seriously.

"M c'mon-"

"Enough Jack!" Mavis shouted as she turned around, blue eyes glowing in warning.

But Jack didn't even flinch. He didn't fear her. Something she was normally always glad to know. Though she sort of missed the days where she could intimidate him and Hiccup into silence. "Do you think about him?" he asked again.

Seeing as Jack wasn't likely to drop the subject she let out a sigh. She looked away, staring out over the city, looking at the people, the couples down below that walked hand in hand. "Of course I do. I loved-love him," she whispered. "I still do. But it doesn't matter," she said with a shrug.

"Why not?"

"Because he's probably gotten over me by now. Probably found himself a human girl," Mavis muttered softly in sadness, heart clenching at the thought. She looked up to the sky, trying to convince herself that she was ok with that. Ok with Johnny moving on and giving his heart to someone else.

"I'm just a monster. And he's a human. We could have never worked out in the end," she said to herself, trying to cement the idea into her mind.

"Do you really believe that?" came a voice that made every muscle in Mavis' body lock up. She gasped, eyes widening in disbelief before turning around.

And standing there was Hiccup in his Night Fury armor. And at his side was a red haired human who made her undead heart flutter.

"Johnny," Mavis said softly.

He smiled at her and gave her a weak wave. "Hey," he said to her.

"How?"

"Hiccup tracked him down and flew him here," Jack said at her side. Mavis looked to Jack and then to Hiccup in shock. Hiccup nodded before taking a step back as Johnny began to step forward. Mavis pulled down the bandanna covering her mouth before looking down, unable to meet his eyes as he came to stand before her.

"So...you became a superhero. That's pretty awesome," Johnny said with a weak laugh, but also genuinely impressed. He had heard of Calamity Bane of Berk. But he never imagined it could be Mavis. "Mavis," Johnny said, trying to get her to look at him.

"You shouldn't be here Johnny," Mavis said to the ground.

"I had to come Mavis. I've been looking for you for two years," he said. Mavis looked up in surprise. "I've called the hotel like everyday. I've practically begged your dad to tell me where you are," he said to her. He grabbed her by her shoulders. "I haven't stopped thinking about you Mavis. There was no way I could. You're my Zing. I love you," he said to her.

Mavis felt her eyes beginning to water. "But your parents-"

"I talked to them Mavis. I made them see that you aren't a monster. That you would never hurt me or anyone because you're the nicest person I've ever met. They feel terrible. They want to apologize," he continued. Mavis sucked in a breath.

Johnny let out a breath and took a step back. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a plane ticket. "It's to Transylvania. I thought it'd be nice to see your dad. And I'm sure he'd want to see you too," he said with a small smile. He held it out towards her. "The plane leaves in tomorrow night. If you want to get back together and join me, I'll see you then," he said as he grabbed her hand and gently placed it into it.

"If you don't...well then I'll have my answer," Johnny said. He smiled and took a step back. "I hope to see you then," he said to her in earnest. He looked back to Hiccup, who led him to the edge of the building before grabbing him and taking to the air.

Mavis stared after them, wiping at her eyes before looking down to the plane ticket in her hand.

"M?" Jack said behind her.

Mavis said nothing.


Mavis stayed awake all night. She was in the Cove, staring down at the plane ticket on her bed. She had her knees to her chest, mulling the biggest decision of her life. Well at least one of them. On the one hand, this was her chance to be with Johnny again. The boy she loved. Still loved and wanted to be with.

But on the other hand...what about Jack and Hiccup? What about their little team? Her life here in Berk?

It may have been only two years. But they were some of the best of her life.

She let out a frustrated breath before standing and leaving the room, going to find them and maybe ask for their opinion. She went to the supercomputer, and sure enough she heard the two of them speaking in hushed whispers. But it only took a little concentration to listen in. She stayed in the hall and out of sight as they spoke, about her.

"So what do you think she'll do?" she heard Jack ask.

"Whatever she wants to," Hiccup said back nonchalantly. Mavis couldn't help but feel a little hurt. She'd thought that Hiccup would be a little torn up about this.

"Do you not care?" Jack asked in irritation.

"Course I do," Hiccup said back.

"You aren't acting like it."

"I'm trying to seem impartial so she'll decide on her own," Hiccup stated.

"Well I know I'd be bummed if she left," Jack said. "Wouldn't you?" Jack asked.

Hiccup didn't respond right away. Mavis held her breath.

"Of course I would. I love her," he said. Mavis couldn't help but flinch. "We both do," he added, making her let out a breath. She nearly thought he'd been harboring romantic feelings for her all this time. "But this is her chance to be happy. We've both seen it. She hasn't stopped thinking about Johnny. And even if she never admits it that makes her sad," Hiccup continued.

"But if we love her, then we have to be willing to let her go."

"Yeah. I guess you're right," Jack muttered back.

Mavis stood against the wall, heart clenching but also swelling with love for her best friends. She loved them too. Even if they were annoying, smelly, stupid boys. But they were her annoying, smelly, stupid boys. She sniffled before heading back to her room. As she went Toothless joined her, nosing her hand for attention until she stroked him. She let him into her quarters before kneeling down to his level. She hugged him close.

"Those guys are idiots, aren't they Toothless?" Mavis asked with a weak laugh. Toothless gave a whine, probably in agreement. "But I love them both so much," she said as she smiled to herself, a tear trailing down her cheek.

In that moment Mavis came to a decision.


The next night Johnny waited at the gate, looking at his watch repeatedly and tapping his foot. He looked around anxiously, ticket in hand and beginning to crinkle as he clenched it in his fist. Then to his disappointment the stewards began to let the passengers in for boarding. Johnny gave one last hopeful look around, but he saw nothing. He sighed sadly as he grabbed his things and began to head toward the line.

Until a hand fell onto his shoulder and stopped him. He glanced over his shoulder and into the blue eyes of the most beautiful girl he'd ever known. She gave him a shy smile, ticket in hand. Johnny whirled around and wrapped his arms around her. He grabbed her hand before joining the line.

Mavis smiled, clutching his hand tightly before looking out the window of the airport, seeing the lights of the city in the distance.

"Bye guys. It's been fun...I love you," Mavis whispered softly to the people who'd never hear it, but still meant more to her then they'd ever know.


After that night Calamity Bane disappeared, turning the superhero trio of Berk into a duo.

Night Fury and Frost stood atop a building, having found Mavis' note and knowing what her choice had been. But they were happy if she was happy. After all, they loved her, enough to let her go if it would make her happier.

Frost looked to his partner, smirking to himself. "Ok Fury, so now that Calamity isn't here and there isn't any feeling to hurt. Who do you really like more, me or her?"

Fury chuckled underneath his helmet. "Calamity, Frost. Not even a question."
