DISLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON.

Previously...

-"Ugh. How could I forget?" Sharpshot yawned, standing up lazily, and stumbling over to his trainer. "Every year," He explained, "Me and Toothless go to Outcast Island, and spend a week there. Say, do you want to come with us?" The more, the merrier! "Bud? You don't think we'll encounter that... Dragon..." The dragon shook his head thoughtfully. No... It wouldn't, he said to himself... Hey, Toothless was trying to be positive here!-

CHAPTER THREE: Get Your Own Human!

"Oh, come on..." Hiccup moaned, staring at the two dragons, direct contrasts to one another. One was tiny and green, while the other black as night and the most lethal species of all. They were glaring at each other, snouts turned on each other and wings tucked tight in indignation. "You're only going to go get breakfast!"

They growled, snorting, before turning tail, heading into the forest as Hiccup sighed heavily, crouching down to start a fire to cook the fish- hopefully- brought back by the dragons.

oOo-O-o-oOo-o-O-oOo

Sharpshot flew overhead, flapping to keep up with the walking Night Fury, who was set at a fine pace.

'Come ON, can't you take a joke?' He asked, braving to land on the thick dragon's neck and perch himself there. Toothless didn't look overly impressed.

'No, so shut it.' Toothless growled, and the conversation advanced as such was the topic.

This was, until the appendages on his head that served as ears perked up, twitching. Shuffling and movement ruffled in the bracken and the bushes, faint glimmering between the dark and the greenery. Toothless snarled threateningly, placing a paw in front of Sharpshot protectively. No matter what he felt about the Terror, he would make sure his salvation remained, if he could help it. No dragon would harm the green and red creature with him around.

'Well... That escalated quickly...' Sharpshot muttered, pressing himself against the black scales and watching the movements.

Toothless hissed to silence him, heart beginning to race. Then, it skipped a beat.

Out the shadows, a long, huge dragoness emerged, the sunlight hitting each of the bands of rainbow colour all over her serpentine body and making them glimmer, sparkle and almost radiate with beauty. Her wing membrane was translucent, shimmering in the light, and her pretty blue eyes landed on the Night Fury. Fine, thin black strands of membrane rested at the end of her upper eyelids, looking exactly like eyelashes. They batted generously, as the dragoness lowered her long neck to look at the ebony dragon.

It was a Breathquencher.

'My, my, who are you...' Her eyes widened slightly as she realised who she was talking to. 'Forgive me, Night Fury, but what ever did I do for such a handsome, brave, legendary, lethal and proud dragon to enchant my presence...?'

She purred, her warm breath, smelling like perfect roses, awfully close on Toothless' scales. He stammered, staring at her, breath sucked away.

'My na... name is... T... Toothless...'

The dragoness chortled lightly and sweetly, batting her eyelashes again and slithering around the smaller dragon a bit, resting the tip of her tail under his chin. 'Toothless, you say? Well, isn't that a lovely and simply adorable name...'

Sharpshot stared at the two, restraining laughter and a growl of anger towards this new dragon. Who did she think she was? And what was Toothless doing?!

He began talking, but her tail quickly snaked and wrapped around his snout to silence him.

Toothless didn't even notice.

Sharpshot could only watch and listen helplessly, watching as the dragoness flirted with the Night Fury. She swooned and played at him, purring affectionately, sliding her tail over his lithe body, and whispering almost seductively.

The little green dragon whimpered, a sad whine choking up in his throat, and considered what could happen if she won Toothless over, possibly running off with him, just like that. Hiccup would be heart-broken!

NO! He suddenly thought, a burst of red hot vigour and anger rushing into his veins. No dumb dragoness will take Toothless from Hiccup! Sharpshot thrashed and writhed in the sly beast's grasp, much to her annoyance.

She snaked her narrow snout around Toothless' neck to snarl at him, baring her razor sharp fangs. Ignoring the clear threat of his demise, Sharpshot hissed back and narrowed his eyes thinly.

Toothless shook his head, frowning as his ear plates twitched. He slightly turned to look at the two- and his mind wavered. What was going on? His lime eyes averted back to the beautiful female dragon, and his snout wrinkled, agitated now- what was he doing? Since when did Toothless fall snout over tail for a mere dragoness? He had to stop this silly and stupid fit, and now. Sharpshot was starting to get unnerved.

'Let me go...' He growled lowly, and she turned back to him, smiling sweetly, eyes big, wide and innocent.

'Why?' She asked, batting her eye-lashes. 'I thought you enjoyed the coil of my body...'

Toothless snorted. 'Your snake body is just as hideous as your tongue-of-Loki, beast. NOW. Release me at once!'

The dragoness hissed, disapproving, but did let him go, backing up. She rose up above them, fanning her wings and glaring down at him with icy eyes. 'Well then...' She growled. 'Perhaps, instead, I can offer a trade?'

'You possess a two-leg in your grasp-' She said, throwing aside Toothless' fury. '-And I have jewels, silver, gold, and treasure. Whatever you desire, dra-'

Slap.

She blinked, shocked, and raised a wing to lightly touch her jaw, where the scales had been bruised by the ebony tail.

'First,' He snarled, 'You try to seduce me. And if that wasn't insulting enough, you then try to trade worthless riches for my rider! Who do you think you are?! You are a vicious, lying, despicable, tongue-twisting deceiver of a vile reptile! You do NOT deserve the honour of being called a dragon!'

And with that, Toothless roared in the rainbow serpent's face, scooped up Sharpshot in a paw and planted him on his neck, and turned tail, heading for the lake and not looking back.

oOo-O-o-oOo-o-O-oOo

Sharpshot looked at Toothless once again, for what had to be the fifteenth time since they had escaped that awful dragoness.

They had caught their breakfast, a large bundle of fish. Hiccup was getting ready for the trip to Outcast Island at the given moment, eyeing his map. The Night Fury was almost completely silent, laid down, head on the ground, only the occasional shuffle of his paws or a flick of the tail to render him active.

...To the unknowing eye, he didn't appear upset much.

But Sharpshot did have a knowing eye.

'Hey, uh... Toothless?' The Terror asked, and the Night Fury decided to give him a glance. 'Are you... Are you still bothered by all... That, from before...?'

'Of course I am... Hiccup is my other half, my everything... And I was willing to give it up, just like that...' Toothless stared, forlorn, ears drooped, at his paws. 'Just like that. I didn't even know that wretched serpent!'

Sharpshot crooned sympathetically. 'Wasn't your fault, it was all your instincts... Try not to think about it.'

'That's kinda hard...'

The two dragons, for a while, said nothing, only silence between them. Hiccup seemed to pick up on the awkward emotions, and he sighed deeply. He mounted his partner, securing his other scaly friend onto the saddle as they took off again, flying high into the clear, cloudy blue skies. The wind was aiding them for once, obeying the Night Fury's every commandment in his ebony wings as they cut through the air.

Thank Shenron that we're off the ground now... Toothless thought to himself, casting one last glance at the island, before pushing it out his mind and pushing onwards. Making a bee-line for Outcast Island, he snorted to himself quietly.

He'd eventually forget about that dumb dragoness, any way.
