Hey guys I know I'm a little late again, but I'm trying. Some days I just don't feel like writing at all, I bet some of you guys have that problem too every once and a while, but at least its done now! Enjoy!

"Alright everyone, get into your positions!" Heather roared then looked at Astrid. "You and Hiccup are the fastest ones here, you guys check it out, if he's friendly call him over but if not stun him with a plasma blast and we'll come in and help you fight him off, understand?"

"Got it!" Astrid called back and hopped onto Hiccup's back. "Let's go pal."

The took off and began to zip through the air, Astrid had to hold on tighter then usual, it was very rare that they would go this fast, the last time they did was at least a month or more ago when they ran away from Berk. The rest of the group was in the clouds, preparing to surround the dragon and fire if necessarily.

Astrid ducked down on Hiccup's back allowing him to go faster, he too decided to fly parsley into the clouds, to at least allow some cover in case the dragon was hostile. After a few minutes they were almost directly above the dragon, but they could only see the silhouette of it through the thick clouds.

Heather commanded softly for them to slow down, then told Astrid to wait until they were almost directly above their island, then knock them out of the sky like she had with them.

"Won't that make him think we're a threat?" Astrid whispered.

"We've done this with plenty of other dragons, just be gentle, grab it's wings and gently lower it down."

"Are you sure that we should be doing this? It's our first time doing this, can't we just stick to our first plan? It seems like a better approach."

"Okay, okay, do it that way, but if it does not work out, we're doing this my way, understand?"

"Definitely." She replied then leaned in towards Hiccup so she was only a few inches from his ear, just to make sure the dragon couldn't hear her. "Let's do this pal, NOW!"

Hiccup dove down from the security of the clouds just behind the dragon. He was huge, probably about 2-3 times the size of Hiccup, and he was brown and white, and he had... Riders on his back?

"Hiccup, there are riders on his back, lets check it out."

They flew beside the dragon, and Hiccup cooed at them, trying to be as nonthreatening as possible. The dragon turned to look at them, and as soon as he saw Astrid he roared happily, then turned to the two riders hiding on his back.

"Um, hello?" Astrid shouted to the two people hiding on his back.

Toby and Storm were trying to hide themselves on Bandit's back, which was difficult. They were being surrounded, by dragons, they could hear them roaring above them in the clouds, but they didn't know where in the clouds.

Toby still had a tight grip around Storm's waist, and she placed one of her hands over his. Bandit was looking around for the dragons, but was having no luck finding them.

Suddenly something dove out of the clouds, it was going so fast that it made a loud high pitch whistling sound, it leveled off just behind them, but no one dared to look back. Toby's grip around her tightened and she squeezed his hand.

They were both sure that it was the end for them until they heard Bandit roar happily, then a familiar voice say "Um, hello?"

Storm sat up immediately, and looked in the direction of the dragon. She had not noticed before but the dragon had a rider, and the rider just happened to be her twin sister.

"Astrid!?" She shouted, just to make sure she wasn't seeing things.

"Storm!? Toby!? What are you guys doing out here?"

"We can looking for you, and Hiccup." Toby shouted. "Is that-"

"This is Hiccup." She said "I'll explain later."

"No need Astrid I accidentally turned Bandit into a dragon." Storm replied and patted Bandit's neck.

Once they arrived back on their island Storm leaped off of Bandit's back and dove into Astrid's arms. She buried her face into her sister's shoulder and started crying.

"I thought I lost you, I was so scared." Storm sobbed.

"Hey, Storm it's okay. I'm right here now." Astrid said and wiped the tears off her sister's face.

The three of them talked about the past month or two, and how they all were.

Later that night they all sat around a small campfire they were eating their supper off fried fish and Hiccup was eating his pill of raw fish. Storm was pressed up against Astrid's side and Astrid had one arm around her.

"Astrid?" she asked "Where are we going to stay?"

"Hiccup and I are staying in a cave in that big rock formation over there." Astrid replied and pointed at the rocks on their left. "You guys could probably stay with us until we find you a permanent place."

"Why permanent, aren't we going to go home?" Storm asked her sister.

"Storm, they all ready shot at Hiccup once, and they called him a monster and everyone was terrified that he would attack the city. Everyone is scared of him, if we go home they'll kill him, and Bandit too." Astrid said and patted Bandit's neck. "It's too dangerous to go home. And since we don't know if there is a reverse for this curse or how long it would take to get it, we should be prepared to not go home for a very very long time, that is if we can go back at all."

Storm frowned and wrapped her arms around herself and the sun was beginning to set on the horizon and Storm rubbed her eyes and yawned.

"But don't stress over if we can go back to berk or not, just try to get some sleep tonight, we are going exploring early tomorrow morning." Astrid stated and then hugged her sister once more before everyone went to bed.
