This still feels really weird. Like falling forever. The entry isn't all that great though. You land on the floor with a thump. Wonder were I'll end up... .
"Indi your back!" Astrid squealed running across the room to greet me.
"I missed you so much Astrid".
"Come on. You're dragons are missing you like crazy". She grabs my wrist and pulls me out of her hut. My eyes marvel at the sight of the ocean and the clearness of the sky. She then jumps up onto Stormfly and pulls me up with her and flew in the direction of the forest.
"Umm Astrid why are we heading to the forest?"
"Well he and the othersare out checking for wounded dragons but I said I'd stay here on lookout. I'm really glad you kept your promise" she said, emphasising the last part.
"Well I remembered something that I had to do and I also wanted to come back and see everyone including you". I emphasized the last part. I really missed Astrid's bold personality.
"They're just down there. I bet they'll be ecstatic to see you".
"Indi your back!"
Hiccup and Fishlegs yell as they run over and ingulf ne into a hug.
"Hey guys it's nice to see you again". The twins walk over.
"Hey it's nice to see you again lovely". Looks like Tuffnut remembered that he won't be able to get a date.
"Just ignore him. He's been talking about you non-stop since you left". Ruffnut shoves her brother out of the way as she talks. Snoutlout walks over and puts his hand around my waist. "Snoutlout get off me. Don't ever touch me like that again! On second thoughts just don't touch me in general". Yep, still gross.
"So I take it you managed to get your umm oh yeah your software working" Hiccup walks up and gives me another hug.
"To be honest I could get back anyway. It didn't need repairing". Astrid looks at me a little hurt.
"No no its not like that. I've been working on something and once I got it working I quickly packed my bags and rushed right here". That bring a smile to everyone's face.
"Well shall we head back to the edge and catch up".
"I'd love to Hiccup. Lets go".
"I'll go get your dragons. You want to come. They're practically bursting to see you" Hiccup says as we land.
"Sure. I can't wait to see Shadow and the others. Lets go". I can't wait. I love all my dragons and...
"hey guys. I missed you so much". The dragons all jump up and try to shove me on top their back.
"Wow wow. Calm down. I have a idea so come on and lets go flying". The dragons super excited eagerly run outside.
"Do you guys want to come flying with me. I'll show you how awesome we are".
"Of course. Lets go guys".
"Oh you're in for it now Indi. Come on Toothless, lets show her how a real rider and dragon do it".
"Ok so I'm going to start off with jumping from Speed Stinger to Speed Stinger and when I land on Road Runner he'll jump up and throw me into the air. The Buckstitch will catch me and I'll dangle from his tail. He will then flick me up into the air. Right before I hit the ground Flare will catch me, throw me into the air and catch me again. We'll do that three times before I jump off her back and onto Arrow. We will loop the loop a couple of times before I jump off of her back and dive into the ocean. Right before I hit the water Shadow will dive in and we'll fly out of the water. Shadow and I will go once around the island in record time and then land. Sound good guys?" The dragons all warble and crow.
"Well let's do this!"
"Ready! Three two one go!" I start jumping from Speed Stinger to Speed Stinger. They are incredibly strong. Ok so there's Road Runner. Here goes nothing.
"Yes! Ok Buckstitch! Ok three, two, one flick!"
"And Flare catch! Nice job girl. Lets do that again three more times". To be honest I didn't think this was going to work. I really should have in a flight suit but I don't have one so... .
"Nice! Get ready Arrow. Ok go". Wow I really hope I jumped hard enough.
"YES! Ok Arrow lets do some loop the loops". Wow I really hope I don't fall off. Ok so here goes. Brr the water is chilli.
"Hey Shadow. I missed you incredible speed. Now lets show off that incredible speed. Around the island!" Yep, still as fast as the first time I rode her. Looks like we're almost done. That only took about twenty-five seconds. We land in front of everybody.
"Ok that was amazing!"
"Thanks Astrid. What do you guys think?" I turn to the rest of the group.
"They were spectacular flying skills and considering that you've only flown a couple of times I would have called that impossible. I'm definitely taking you to meet my mother".
"Thanks Hiccup. I'd love to meey Valka".
"Well then I'll take you to meet her tomorrow. She got back from the nest last week and is having a break".
"Ok then it's settled. I take it I'm staying with Astrid again".
"Yeah you are" Astrid buts in.
"Ok just don't let it be a repeat of last time. I'm still trumatised from last time". Hiccup blushes slightly remembering what happened. Myself and Astrid giggle remembering his face.
"Sorry Hiccup, I can't promise you that. It was your fault for not waiting outside for us to answer" Astrid sniggers.
"Yeah that was halerious. See ya everybody". We walk to Astrid's hut after feeding the dragons. Shadow only had a few fish and quickly hurried after us. The rest stayed behind to play with the other dragons.
"Hey Toothless I can see you ya know. You don't have to sneak around. You can come if you want". Toothless walks over to Shadow and they nuzzle each other.
"Awww that's just too cute. Don't ever tell anyone I said that or else".
"Ok. I get it. You need to be seen as tuff. Astrid I promise I won't tell".
"Lets go. It's getting colder".
"Hey how long was I away?"
"Well about a month and a half. It was just the start of Winter when you first got here. Hey it's Snoggletog, do you want to stay?"
"Well how long until then?"
"About a week and a half".
"Well I should be able to stay. If I need to I'll just jump back home and grab some extra clothes and check on my dogs".
"So you'll stay?"
"Of course. Lets go hang out".
