Hello, people! I bring you another chapter!

I do not own How to Train Your Dragon.

Enjoy!

"Astrid is a Dragonborn."

Toothless just stared at Hiccup.

"This changes everything," he said slowly, his eyes widening. "If she's not human, then you can ask her out! Don't worry, Hic. I'll think up a plan." He grinned proudly at his brother. Hiccup just shook his head.

"I don't need your help," Hiccup replied. He still hadn't stopped smiling, but it seemed that Toothless hadn't noticed.

"Don't be silly! I want to help!" Toothless exclaimed.

"Tooth, I honestly don't need any help," Hiccup assured his brother. Toothless narrowed his eyes. He finally noticed that Hiccup hadn't stopped smiling the entire time he had been back.

"You kissed her, didn't you?" he said his eyes narrowing even more. When Hiccup didn't answer but his smile grew, Toothless' eyes widened. "You kissed her?!" He had forgotten that the others were sleeping.

"Who kissed who?" Snotlout asked, running into the room with Stormfly, Fishlegs and the twins behind him.

"Hiccup kissed Astrid," Toothless said crossing his arms. Hiccup's smile finally faded now that he was surrounded.

"You kissed a human?! Gross! Hiccup! Why would you do that?!" Tuffnut exclaimed, his face showing how disgusted he was. The others all looked shocked. How could he kiss a human? That was like the ultimate betrayal to his own kin.

"She's not human," Hiccup replied. Just like Toothless, they all stared at him with confused looks on their faces. And then they all realised. All except for the twins.

"If she's not human, then what is she?" Ruffnut asked.

"Is she a troll?" Tuffnut added.

"No, you muttonheads," Stormfly replied. "She's a Dragonborn. I just don't understand how."

"None of you will remember because it was before any of you were born. I only know because my father told me. Her parents are the Sigurd and Ingrid Hofferson. They disappeared a few days after I was born. Ingrid was pregnant at the time, with Astrid." They all stared at Hiccup. If what he was saying was true, then there was another girl their age that should have been their friend all along.

"Does she know anything about Berk?" Toothless piped up from where he sat on his bed.

"She found out today," Hiccup replied. "So it's our job to teach her everything she needs to know." The others all looked at each other excitedly. It wasn't often an opportunity like this came around. "Just try not to scare her," Hiccup added as he remembered who his friends were. They nodded and all left to go back to their beds. Hiccup turned out the light and lay down.

"So you're not going to tell me anything?" Toothless asked in the darkness.

"Nope," Hiccup replied grinning to himself. Toothless could hear his smile in the way he spoke and scowled.

"Oh come on! Was it short? Was it long?"

"When you ask Stormfly out, then we'll talk." Toothless scowl deepened. He crossed his arms and lay on his back and didn't say another word.

The morning came and the atmosphere in the mill had changed. They kept giving Hiccup knowing looks and he kept waving them off. They all headed out to school and pestered Hiccup for details the entire way.

Hiccup sighed in relief when they all went their separate ways. As he walked along with Fishlegs, he talked about the scout that he and Astrid had met the day before.

"Do you think they have any idea where we're hiding?" Fishlegs asked nervously.

"No. I was leading him in the wrong direction when he came across Astrid. But it wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't long before they send another scout." Hiccup and Fishlegs shared a worried look. If they were found by scouts then the humans would send a small army to kill them. They were only a few. It wouldn't be like a raid on the village. They would be completely outnumbered.

They walked into their first class and took their separate seats. It was one of the classes that they shared with Astrid. She walked in and found her seat next to Hiccup.

"Hey," she said quietly.

"Hey," he replied. They sat awkwardly together, neither knowing entirely what to say.

"I spoke to my parents more since last night," Astrid finally broke the silence. "My mom keeps trying to find ways to make going to Berk sound exciting."

"Oh really?" Hiccup replied smiling. "And what is she saying?"

"Well she told me a few things you left out. Like the incredible views of the sunsets, the fact that it's normal to see people walking around with axes and the whole racing thing. That sounds like fun." She turned to see Hiccup grinning to himself. She couldn't help but think about how cute he looked.

"Did she explain the rules?" Hiccup asked looking up at her.

"Oh you mean the whole 'catching sheep for points' thing?" Astrid laughed. "Yeah. She did. I didn't believe her at first but when I finally realised that she was being serious, I realised how fun it sounds."

"I feel sorry for the sheep," Hiccup put in. "I'm pretty sure they think we're trying to kill them." Astrid laughed but quickly quieted as the teacher walked in.

The class went on as any other and soon it was over. Astrid went off to her next class while Hiccup and Fishlegs went to theirs. They soon met up again at lunch. Hiccup sat with Fishlegs on his left and an empty chair on his right. Next to the empty chair sat Stormfly. Snotlout sat across from Fishlegs and next to Toothless who sat next to the twins. Astrid soon walked up holding a tray.

"Do you guys mind if I sit with you?" she asked slowly.

"Why do you think we saved you a seat?" Toothless asked pointing to the empty chair beside Hiccup. Astrid wasn't expecting his reply and seemed a little shocked but smiled happily. She sat down and began eating. No one really knew what to say. Hiccup was about to ask Toothless about his classes when Snotlout decided to speak up.

"So I take it that you two had fun yesterday," he said wiggling his eyebrows with a sly grin on his face. Astrid seemed a little shocked.

"You told them?" she asked Hiccup.

"No," he replied. "I told him," he pointed to Toothless, "and he decided to yell it out in the dead quiet in the middle of the night."

"I'm sorry!" Toothless replied holding up his hands defensively. "I had just heard that my brother kissed the girl he told me he was falling in love with."

"You said that?" Astrid asked turning to Hiccup, her face full of surprise. His hand went to rub the back of his head.

"Yeah," he said with a nervous laugh. "I did."

"That's sweet," she said with a smile. He was about to reply when the bell rang reminding them that they still had classes. They went their separate ways but promised to meet up later.

They all met outside the school afterwards and began walking to the mill together. Now that they were away from the town, Astrid felt more free to ask them questions about themselves. She found out that Fishlegs was training to become a strategist like his father and that Stormfly was learning about being a seamstress from her mother. She found out that Snotlout and the twins enjoyed a game they called 'cow tipping' and that Hiccup hated it because he was usually the one that had to clean up their messes.

Snotlout was bragging about how he was a great warrior and the fastest flyer on the island. Astrid glanced at Fishlegs knowing that as a strategist, he would surely know who the fastest flyer was. He shook his head and she nodded. But now she wondered who it was. She mouthed 'who?' and he nodded towards Hiccup.

Really, she shouldn't have been surprised. She had asked her father about the kind of dragon Hiccup was. He told her all about Night Furies, nicknamed 'unholy offspring of lightning and death itself' by the humans. They were fast and they never missed. She had felt a little afraid at first, but then she remembered how sweet he was. From what she had heard, the humans on their world attacked without researching first. They saw an island full of people who could turn into dragons and decided that they were monsters.

Astrid was snapped out of her thoughts by the sound of running water. She looked up to see that they were approaching a building that sat on the side of a river. As they got closer she saw that it was an abandoned mill.

"You've been living here?" she asked her eyes widening. "It's falling apart."

"On the outside!" Tuffnut replied.

"But on the inside…" Ruffnut finished. They opened the door and she stepped inside. She was surprised to see how nice it looked on the inside. Clearly someone had remodelled the inside but left the inside looking a wreck.

"You can leave your things in here if you want," Hiccup said putting his backpack down on the table in the dinning room. Astrid did the same. "We're going to the clearing," Hiccup said to the others who all waved him off and turned to do their own things.

He walked out of the old building with Astrid close behind and headed off back into the forrest. A few minutes later they were sat on the ground opposite each other with their legs crossed.

"So what are we going to do first?" Astrid asked nervously.

"First we need to figure out what kind of dragon you are," Hiccup replied with a thoughtful look on his face. Somehow that made Astrid even more nervous. Was he going to make her shift forms? She wasn't ready for that.

"Relax," Hiccup said, clearly sensing her slight mental breakdown. "Each dragon has a different kind of fire. All I need you to do is create a flame in the palm of your hand and I should be able to tell."

She still felt nervous. He could tell. He took her hand in his and held it out, palm up. He was so gentle, it was calming. She slowly felt her nerves settle and took a deep breath. He smiled and she felt her stomach twist, in a good way.

"First all you need to do is concentrate," he said slowly. "Somewhere deep within you is, sort of a core," Hiccup began trying to think of the easiest explanation. "Once you've found it, using it is easy. But finding it is the hard part. It's not so hard in dragon form because it's more natural, but in human form you're going to have to really concentrate."

"How do I know when I've found it?" Astrid asked unsure of what exactly she was looking for.

"Trust me. You'll know when you find it." Understanding that this was the only answer she was going to get, Astrid nodded and closed her eyes. She dug deep trying to feel something that resembled any kind of core. It was strange, trying to find something in her body. Trying to find something that had been there all along but that she only knew of now.

And then she found it. She knew she was right because it was the same sensation she had felt before fire exploded from her hands when the Viking attacked her the day before. It felt so foreign and yet at the same time, so familiar. She opened her eyes to see that Hiccup had not moved. He still held her hand and he was watching her in a way that showed his concern. She nodded and he understood.

"It feels hot? Like it's burning?" he asked. She nodded and he smiled. "Good. Concentrate on the heat and try to move it through your body. Move it up to your shoulder, down your arm and into your hand." She followed his instructions and soon her arm felt like it was on fire. But somehow it felt nice. It was oddly calming and she found herself not really wanting the feeling to end.

Once the heat reached her hand, her body somehow knew exactly what she wanted it to do. Fire began to form in the palm of her hand. It wasn't like normal fire though. It reminded her of a firecracker. It was sparking and spitting in her hand. She sat staring at it, amazed that she was actually doing this. She was actually holding a ball of crackling fire, that she had created in the palm of her hand. Hiccup sat forwards taking a closer look. Soon he looked up at her and grinned.

"It seems we have another Deadly Nadder."

So what do you think? I guess Astrid being a Nadder was going to be kind of obvious.
