Winning Her Over

"And now he's spinning," Hiccup said while his dragon did a somersault. "Thank you for nothing you useless reptile," he continued.

"OK, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Just get me off of this thing," Astrid cried. As Hiccup and her nose dived toward the ocean, Toothless suddenly leveled out and finally slowed down. Now, that's better, Hiccup thought. As they glided toward the sunset, he looked back at Astrid to see she was still covering her eyes. Toothless then whisked into the clouds gracefully. The boy wanted her to fall in love with Toothless on her own, like he did. So he let Toothless take it from here. The farther they climbed, the more stunning the view became.

Finally, Astrid opened her eyes slightly while panting. She was immediately blown away. Eyes now wide open, and mouth to the ground. The clouds were completely surrounding them and the surface was out of site. The perfect flight was just beginning. The young female viking continued to be flabbergasted with the captivating atmosphere. Reaching her hand out to run it through the clouds. Soon after that, she had both arms up in the air with a sparkling smile. The once hard-nosed viking whom was sworn to kill any a dragon on site was quickly becoming emotional attached to one.

Once the night fell, the marvelous voyage pushed on. The view of the northern lights soaring through the evening sky was just extraordinary. The clouds began to clear as they flew over their village of Berk. Toothless turned his head and briefly saw the look on her face and smiled. Astrid then pulled Hiccup closer to show her approval of this amazing world that he was sharing with her. They quickly descended out of the clouds and closer to Berk. Being the first vikings to get a glimpse of the lights of their home town from above was an epic event. Casually flying near and around the village was electrifying. Fires were burning and the stars were shining bright, what a perfect night for a flight. Toothless then banked left out toward the other side of the island. Hiccup and Toothless had won her over and she was speechless the entire trip until, "All right, I admit it. This is pretty cool. It's..amazing. He's amazing," she stated while petting Toothless softly.
