Hiccup had perfected his dragon saddle now.

"It should be good."

"That's what you said last time." I reminded, not hiding a smirk.

Hiccup refused to dignify me with a response. Doesn't mean Toothless wasn't chortling at me. I gave the dragon a grateful smile. Lilac was doing her best to not acknowledge me.

"You have no faith in me."

"Said the pot to the kettle." I snarked. At Hiccup's silence I remembered the self-imposed rule on my own language. "Ugh. The kettle pot says to black."

Hiccup snorted.

"I can throw shoe!" I warned him.

Hiccup's snorts evolved to full on laughs at my expense. Seeing an opportunity to have some justice on my account, I carried the Plan out. My fists were raised high in the sky as I rushed towards him.

The viking made a long whine of distress, jumping back. Toothless stepped up in his defense. His wings flared out at the right moment to knock me aside. For the purposes of this, I embellished how hard I'd been hit so that I'd go over the edge of the cliff.

"Mommy!" Lilac cried out. Thought as to what she was doing next, I was too busy falling to pay it note.

Lucky for me I could work this one on the fly.

Hiccup looked over the edge. He was searching for me, calling out the name I'd taught him to say. He managed to duck to avoid my return flight. He flopped back on the ground, gawking up at me as I floated above the ledge. Lilac was too, but Hiccup was funnier.

On my back were two wings. Nothing fancier in design than what a bird would have, maybe an eagle. The wings were dark pink, spread out to beyond my arm's length. Some of the lower feathers moved in the breeze of the ledge, while the rest worked to keep me from being swept off by it.

I flew over towards Toothless. The dragon hopped in delight- mindful not to mess up his saddle. He enjoyed seeing he had a new flying buddy.

Hiccup seemed to be getting over his shock. "Are those wings?!"

"Yes." Came out the boastful reply.

Hiccup stood up. He walked towards me. I made sure to be flying out of his reach. "Pink?"

Lucky for us we'd gone over colors in the early weeks of my language training. The wings flared out proudly before correcting my flight. "Yes indeed."

"Mom! How long could you do THAT!?" Lilac waved her hand to the wings on my back.

"Since viking-land. Fell off a cliff, these things popped back on." I explained. Dashing down to Hiccup's face, I looked him in the eye. "Ready to fly, tiny viking?"

He got over the shock quicker this time. He put on his game face. "Only if you're ready to get beat, witch."

I laughed at the challenge. Then I rushed down to pick up Lilac in my arms. The purple baby dragon laughed in delight. She cheered in delight as we flew in circles around Toothless.

Hiccup climbed onto his dragon. With a few quick switches and clicks of the saddle, it was ready.

"Go Toothless!" Hiccup instructed.

The dragon leapt off the edge.

I followed after him, holding Lilac tight.

The four of us successfully stayed in the sky.

==TST==

Now we were coasting in the clouds. Lilac stretched out her hands, letting them be touched by the clouds. She cooed at the feeling of them against her claws. They were different than the clouds of her homeworld, less firm.

"Okay there, bud, we're gonna take this nice and slow." Hiccup told Toothless. He looked down to the cheat sheet he'd clipped above the saddle. "Here we go. Here we go...position three, no four."

He moved the peddle beneath his feet. Lilac made noises of awe at the sight of Toothless turning with the new direction. I made sure to keep pace with them as Toothless picked up speed.

"Alright, it's go time. It's go time." Hiccup advised me.

I nodded in agreement. My arms adjusted their hold of Lilac. The dragon clutched to my arms- mindful to keep her claws on my arm guards.

We dived.

The island of Berk had some large rock formations. Hard to ships to navigate, perfect to train a dragon in flight. I embraced the feel of the air flying through my hair. It came with the strong calming scent of the ocean.

"Come on. Come on buddy. Come on buddy!" Hiccup encouraged.

I clutched to Lilac, spinning around as we passed under an arch formation. She could see the seagulls perching themselves under the arch. Lilac made a noise of adoration.

"Yeah! Yes, it worked!" Hiccup cheered.

"Good job!" I gave him a thumb's up as I swirled back to normal.

Hiccup gave me a thumb's up back...which distracted him from the rock pillar ahead. He and Toothless grazed it. When Hiccup corrected it, he ended up grazing on another rock formation.

Toothless grumbled. Lilac whined. I chuckled.

"Sorry." Hiccup apologized. "My fault." Toothless used his ear to whack Hiccup's arm. "Yeah, yeah, I'm on it. Position four, no three."

On that command, I pulled us up towards the sky. Lilac stretched her arms out again for the clouds. Hiccup and Toothless joined us. They were both cheering as they could in delight at their success.

"Yeah! Go baby! Yes! Oh, this is amazing! The wind in my- CHEAT SHEET!" Hiccup's cheat sheet fell off the saddle, flying in the air. "STOP!" He reached for it.

Lilac did too- only to unfortunately sneeze. Her eyes widened in dismay as she watched the ashes of the cheat sheet fall.

I laughed. "No more cheat sheet!"

Hiccup yelped.

Though that may have been because he'd fallen off Toothless. Without Hiccup, he had nobody controlling his other tail. He ended up flailing in arm.

Lilac reached out for them. "Mom! We gotta do something!"

"If I do anything, it means letting you go!" I told her. "As much as I hate it, they need to do it themselves!"

Lilac frowned. She looked over towards them, reaching out in panic.

"Oh gods! Oh no!" Hiccup yelled. "Starfire! Could use some help!"

"Have to let go of Kori!" I yelled back. "No cheat sheet!"

Hiccup looked down towards Toothless, distressed. Not gonna lie, I was a tiny bit panicked. Hiccup saw the panic on his dragon, doing his best to figure out a game plan.

"Alright, okay. You just gotta kinda angle yourself. No, no...come back down towards me. Come back down-" He reached out for the flailing dragon.

Toothless whacked Hiccup- accidentally- with his wing. Hiccup quickly corrected his fall to work himself towards the saddle. He made a quick grip, pulling himself back. Without the cheat sheet, he had to work the pedals off of memory.

Just in time to avoid the approaching forest.

I clutched tighter to Lilac as we flew behind the viking and Night Fury.

Hiccup pulled Toothless up. The dragon roared for a moment then followed suit. His wings flared out, catching the wind like a parachute. They both soared above the trees. I flew above them, watching the spectacle in awe. Lilac applauded in delight.

As we flew past the forest, off the island once again, more rock formations in the sea came up. These were more foggy than the last ones. My wings went into a more alert mode- best way of describing it. Lilac held me tighter.

I couldn't focus on how Hiccup was doing just now. The fog made it too hard to keep track of him, and myself. So for now I had to focus on coming out of this intact. Using my wings, I made quick work of moving through the rocks. Lilac stayed frozen in my arms, the warmth beneath her scales the only assurance that she was there.

Turn.

Turn.

Duck.

Flip.

Turn.

Loop.

Dodge.

Duck.

Dip.

Dive.

Dodge.

It was only when I felt the sunlight again that I let myself have a breath of relief.

"YEAHHH!" Lilac and Hiccup cheered.

Looking down I saw that yes indeed, Hiccup and Toothless had made it through. I cheered with them, flying circles around them. Lilac began laughing. Toothless squealed, shooting out a fireball.

I ducked once more.

"Ah, come on." Hiccup complained as he and the Night Fury flew through it.

==TST==

To the surprise of no one, I was still laughing.

Hiccup was sitting on a rock, in shock. His clothes were covered in ash. His face had it too, his hair was flared back and shaded with black now.

"You can stop whenever."

"No." I chuckled, tossing another fish in the air.

Lilac leapt at it. She grabbed it with her paws, giving it a quick roast with her fire.

We'd flown to the other side of the island, to a nice cove surrounded by rocks. We'd caught a lot of fish, made an evening out of it. The sun was setting in the distance.

Lilac landed back on the rocks. She chowed down on the fish she'd been given. I grinned at her, proud. To share my pride I turned to Hiccup only to laugh again.

"You look stupid."

He tossed a pebble at my head. I dodged it, rolling on the ground to laugh and lounge. I'd let the wings go back not long after we'd landed. They were bothersome when it came to relaxing.

Hiccup was holding up a fish over a small campfire. My own fish had been snagged by Toothless, so there was no hope there.

Yep.

Even when Toothless spat the head of my fish back out.

No thanks.

Toothless pushed it to Hiccup.

Hiccup smiled with the politeness of someone not comfortable swearing in front of another person. "Uh..no thanks." He held up his stick. "I'm good."

A handful of Terrible Terrors had spotted us. They went straight to the hug pile of fish saved for our dragons. Toothless snarled at the Terrible Terrors.

One Terrible Terror tried to grab the fish. Toothless growled at him, making him cower away. A different Terror grabbed the barfed up fish head, dragging it away. He fought with another Terror for it, firing fireballs at each other.

Lilac climbed on Toothless to watch it all. She settled herself on his saddle, chewing idly on a fish.

The first Terror tried again to nab a fish. Only his ability to sneak was lost in his ability to hold the fish flat. Toothless dragged the upright fish out of the pile, exposing the Terror. It growled at Toothless, huffing up for a fireball.

Toothless took him out with a well timed blast of fire down the throat.

The Terror hiccuped out smoke, wobbling over towards Hiccup.

I laughed at how adorable it looked.

"Not so fireproof on the inside, are you?" Hiccup mused. He gave away his fish to the Terror. "Here you go." He settled back down against Toothless as the Terror ate his dinner.

As the Terror made it's way over, I set myself up beside Hiccup. The Terror crawled between us, purring as it rested against Hiccup's leg.

The viking stared at it, in awe. Maybe, in his mind, he was realizing it wasn't just Toothless and Lilac that were like this. Maybe he was realizing all the dragons he'd been training with had the same potential.

But there was one thing I knew for sure he'd learned.

"Everything we know about you guys is wrong." Hiccup realized.

I grinned, pressing myself back against Toothless. On his back, Lilac purred. She curled up in the saddle, finishing up her fish.

All in all, it was a good-

"Starfire...why were you kicked out?" Hiccup asked, pensieve. "You and Kori?"

-moment ruined.

A deep sigh fell out of my lips. Looking towards the sunset, I wondered what I could say. What could I even say in words to describe everything in a way he'd understand?

I fiddled with the rocks on the ground. Lifting them in my magic, I began to show Hiccup a story. The pebbles couldn't do much, except serve as visual aids for the point.

"I am different." I began, showing many other rock people. My own rock figure had been given wings. "Always different, from others. Never fit in at Home. So I move. Constantly moving from where I go. Myself and Kori." A second rock figure appeared with mine. "She different too. Others don't like that I have taken in Kori. Wanted me older- more...big. Not ready to be a...not-dad to her."

"Mom." Hiccup translated after a heavy pause.

"Yes. Not ready to be a mom." I nodded, sagely. Looking back at Lilac, I saw her being whacked by Toothless' ear. She giggled at it, poking it with her claw. "Prove them wrong?"

"Yeah, you did." Hiccup looked back.

He watched as Lilac leapt off Toothless, grabbing another fish for herself. She quickly roasted it in flames, then chomped on it. Toothless chuckled at her from deep in his throat. Lilac chuckled too- but it sounded like squeaking from a mouse.

"My magic is good. I want it to be good." I went on to say. "Use it for good."

Hiccup put a hand on my shoulder. I smiled proudly back at him.

All in all, it was a good day.

==TST==

AN: Well...I didn't update for the entire summer. I decided to lessen the workload, work on a handful of stories instead of ten. As school starts up and I'm in five classes, apparently I decided to go back to working on ten stories! Clearly this is why I need more education.

As for the wings, there's a logical explanation. Morgan/Starfire goes to other realities, and in one such reality she had those wings. After one intense meditation session, she realized she could call upon those powers from where they were dormant in her body to actually being useful. That's also how she can do magic- those two powers come from the same place, so it's an easier transition.

It all makes complete sense-I promise. Still have questions? Leave a comment.

Also I'm on Instragram! Same username as here- give it a gander if you want.
