After two hours, Hiccup finally arrived at Berk. He was welcomed by a few men and Gobber who discharged the metal and the material from the boat. Hiccup let them do and walked up the docks to the village.
He was still thinking about his sister and her weird behavior. Why did she fly away that fast? What if she was dragged into a trap? What if she needed his help? He shook his head. Meg was smart, sly and strong. And besides, Luna was with her too. He didn't have reasons to worry right?
His frown suddenly changed into a warm smile when he saw a dark brown haired lady with her feathery dragon next to her, waiting for him.
-"You're back.", she welcomed him by walking toward him and wrapping her arms around his neck.
-"Hey you.", he chuckled, putting his hands her thin waist and pecking her lips.
He was about to do it again when the young lady looked behind his shoulder.
-"Where's Meg?", she asked.
-"Oh. She went back to the market.", he sighed.
-"Oh. Is that why you look so worried?"
-"I don't know. We were on the boat to head back and she suddenly snapped and flew back, ordering me not follow her. I mean, it's weird because she tells me everything usually but she looked annoyed and just... left me behind. We're twins, aren't we suppose to share everything together?", he exclaimed.
-"Yes. Perhaps. But she still a girl. A 21 years old girl. She has her intimacy and her own secrets.", the young lady caressed Hiccup's cheek gently.
-"Oh yeah? Since when? We already took our shower together. Intimacy is passed us. You don't have any intimacy or secret with me?", Hiccup smirked.
-"Ooh ho ho, I have more to hide that you'll ever know mister.", she grinned and pinched his nose.
Hiccup chuckled.
-"Maybe she just met someone?", she proposed.
Hiccup froze in her arms.
-"Huh?! Haha no. No no. No. Please let's not get too far.", Hiccup laughed nervously.
-"Why not?", the lady raised an eyebrow.
-"Because it's Meg! Meg don't do love. She isn't the type of just "forget everything and fall in love.", Hiccup admitted.
-"Hiccup. You know she won't forget you and probably will never."
-"Yeah. Maybe. I don't know Ana. I hope you're right tho.", Hiccup sighed in defeat.
Ana kissed his cheek and hugged him, hug that he returned, with a small kiss on her forehead.
Meg wasn't hiding any secret guy behind his back. Was she?
-"And that's how we learned we were twins!"
-"Haha, I wished I could have seen your face."
-"Yeah! Me too!"
Meg and Ace were resting on the beach. Luna and Foxy were playing with a branch next to them after a lot of insistence from the red dragon. Luna, being the sassy dragon that she was, ignored him but Meg asked her to try be friends and finally gave up to his advances. She brought a branch from the woods to entertain them while their hoomans were talking.
Ace explained to Meg that Foxy was still a really young dragon, probably around 8. That's why he was still looking smaller than Luna and that he always wanted to play with other dragons, not thinking about being wary or cautious.
A few hours passed and the sun was starting to set.
-"Well, it's probably better if I go now, my brother and my mom will be worried.", Meg said, standing and rubbing the sand out of her fur skirt.
-"Aren't you a big girl now?", Ace teased, mirroring her action.
-Yeah. But let's just say they probably have a good reason to worry. I'm not the kind of girl that avoids fights. I always go for it or fall into the middle of an ambush. I'm an impulsive type of girl. Staying put is not my thing.", she shrugged, "Besides, I also worried to death when he's not home in time so.", she chuckled.
-"You have a really good bond with your brother right?", Ace asked.
-"Yeah. I do everything with him. We were apart for too long. And he got hurt too many times just in attempt to protect me. And I'm still feeling guilty about it. So from now on, I'm trying not to leave his side. And he does the same for me.", Meg said, walking toward Luna, "I already killed for him.", she breathed.
-"Haha, yeah right.", Ace laughed.
-"I'm serious.", Meg turned to look back at him.
Her eyes were cold and could shot actual daggers.
-"No one touches my brother.", she said with in an icy ton, that send shivers down Ace's spine.
Ace walked toward her, Foxy joining his side.
-"Well, I enjoyed today. I'm glad I didn't give up on looking for you.", Meg grinned.
-"Me neither. I'll send you a terror mail.", Ace proposed.
-"Hope so."
The waves were crashing on the sand.
Boy and girl were staying quiet, not moving. Luna blinked and poked Foxy with her tail, catching his attention. When he was looking at her, she pointed her head to the humans and walked around them. Foxy blinked and did the same. They wrapped their tail around their riders, crashing them against each other, nose almost touching.
Meg blinked. She saw Ace's embarrassment and small blush. She didn't understand it and just stared at him.
-"Luna, stop it now.", Meg called.
Luna groaned and let go. She was stunned by how her rider could be so innocent and naive sometimes.
Meg climbed on her and gave a last smile to Ace. He waved at her and she headed up to the sky.
No need to precise that she was smiling the entire flight.
