Annie: Thanks! :D That's a great idea! :D I'll keep it in mind! :D

The Clubhouse of Dragon's Edge was lit by oil lanterns hanging in brackets on the walls, and on their round table sat more candles, half-burned, so wax dribbled over the ledge, creating wax icicles. Around the table, Tuffnut danced with Macey, and Fishlegs approached Ruffnut.

"Hey, Ruffnut," said Fishlegs nervously, twiddling his thumbs a bit. "I was wondering, um...would you like to dance…? With me?"

Ruffnut looked at him oddly. "Dance? With you?" she repeated, looking somewhat disgusted.

"Erm, yes," said Fishlegs. "I mean, we're celebrating, and I just thought...you know what, nevermind…"

"Um, sure, Fishlegs," said Ruffnut, "we can dance. But honestly, I'm not any good at it-"

"Really?" said Fishlegs, excitement gleaming in his eyes. "Oh, thanks!" Ruffnut offered him her hand, which he took, and the two stepped into the center of the room.

Astrid leaned back against the far wall casually, watching. Snotlout approached her, taking up leaning against the wall beside her, sighing.

"Look at them," he said, waving a hand at Fishlegs and Ruffnut.

Astrid looked at Snotlout, and then back at Fishlegs and Ruffnut dancing. Both of them were smiling; both of them were having fun. "Snotlout," said Astrid, "are you jealous? Of Fishlegs?"

"Of course not!" said Snotlout, sounding offended. "I just, you know! Thought that maybe…" He glared at her. "You know what? I'm not even going to answer that question."

Astrid smirked and rolled his eyes. His refusal to answer was all the confirmation she needed.

"Excuse me a moment," said Snotlout sweetly, and he stomped towards Fishlegs and Ruffnut with purpose. Astrid watched him, shaking her head. While Fishlegs spun Ruffnut, Snotlout leapt in, grabbed Ruffnut by the hand, and dragged her into a dance with him. Fishlegs shouted "HEY!" furiously, and Ruffnut laughed.

"Wow!" said Ruffnut. "I've never been fought over before! This is great!"

Tuffnut danced with Macey, and the dragons, standing on the other side of the room, watched in somewhat amusement and somewhat concern. Concern, because their riders had lost their minds, and amusement, because their riders had lost their minds.

Hiccup approached Astrid from the side; when Fishlegs stole Ruffnut back from Snotlout, Hiccup looked over his shoulder at Snotlout's angry shout.

"Evening, milady," said Hiccup, smirking goofily, holding out his hand. "May I have this dance?"

"I don't dance, Hiccup," said Astrid.

"You're telling me," said Hiccup, still smiling, "and you're the one with both your legs. Come on, Astrid. We're celebrating. Please?"

Astrid paused, considering, and then, she sighed. "Fine," she said, and she put her hand in his, and stepped out. "But don't step on my feet."

"As long as you don't step on my foot," said Hiccup. She put her hand on his shoulder, and he put his arm around her waist, their other hands still entwined.

"I don't dance much," said Astrid.

"Meh, neither do I," said Hiccup, "but, you know...it isn't hard." He spun her, and she spun, coming back around and taking his hand again. "See? You've got it."

For a few moments, it was just them, no one else. They didn't notice that Snotlout and Fishlegs had stopped fighting over Ruffnut and were watching them. They didn't notice Tuffnut grinning at them, the dance with Macey long forgotten.

"So, Heather," said Astrid.

"Yeah," said Hiccup, spinning her again, "she was Knife, behind the mask. Viggo manipulated her with Dagur's life. He threatened to kill Dagur if she tried to back out of it."

"He's devious, isn't he?" said Astrid. "Viggo?"

"Definitely," said Hiccup

Astrid sighed. "I would've liked to see Heather, say goodbye to her, before she ran off again…"

"I think right now, Heather is going through some crazy stuff," said Hiccup; Astrid spun again, and then they went back to their earlier stance. "She's torn between loyalty to us as her friends, and loyalty to Dagur as her brother."

"I couldn't imagine what that'd be like," said Astrid.

There were a few more moments of comfortable silence, and then, Astrid spoke again.

"Hiccup?"

"Yeah?"

"Why aren't you...you know...upset?" said Astrid.

"Upset about what?"

"Viggo has the Dragon Eye." Hiccup spun her again. "Last time Viggo got the Dragon Eye, you were...well, you were devastated. It was like you changed. Like you were a different person."

"Oh, right…" Hiccup hesitated, choosing his words carefully. "Well, I guess through all this, I realized there are more important things than some stupid artifact. Sure, the Dragon Eye is useful and whatnot, but choosing between the Dragon Eye and you guys...the answer is pretty obvious."

There were a few beats of silence.

"And besides," said Hiccup, "this time, Viggo didn't take the Dragon Eye. I gave it to him freely, as a bargaining chip for you and the others, because your life, and their lives, are so much more important than the Dragon Eye."

"Right," said Astrid, nodding. "You're right, Hiccup. And of course, we could always get the Dragon Eye back."

"Exactly," said Hiccup. "The Dragon Eye is retrievable. A person's life isn't."

For another few moments, once again, comfortable quiet befell the Clubhouse. Fishlegs and Ruffnut took up dancing again, and Snotlout watched on the sidelines, arms crossed. Tuffnut nearly bashed Snotlout upside the head when he stood to dance with Macey again.

"You know...we're actually not bad," said Astrid, "dancing, I mean."

"Huh. What do you know?" said Hiccup. "We aren't bad, are we? We should do it more often."

"Don't get used to it."

"Too late."

Astrid sighed. "Fine," she said, "but only because you're a hopeless idiot and I love you."

"I wouldn't want to be anything more, milady."

The night was clear, the sky was dark, the stars were visible. The moon was nearly full, supplying light to Dragon's Edge. The Night Terrors soared in formation over the sky. There were no ships approaching from the Berserkers or the dragon hunters. There were no sounds of metal against metal, sword against sword, or axe against axe.

Though the Dragon Eye was within the dragon hunters' clutches, for the first time in a long time, there was peace.

All was right.

WHAT'S NEXT FOR "RACE TO THE EDGE FANFICTION SEASONS"?

"Race to the Edge Season 3B" will not be posted until after the release date of Race to the Edge's third season. The season 1B episodes may be posted beforehand; however, I might not have enough time to get all thirteen episodes out before season 3.

If there is a season 4 of Race to the Edge, which I think there will be (as we are promised 52 episodes total of RttE), a season 4B will follow, depending on how season 4 ends, as we know the end of RttE will tie in to How To Train Your Dragon 2.

If the forth season does NOT end by tying itself into HttYD 2, I will write a season 4B. If it does, well, the Fanfiction Season B series will end there.

Season 1B will most likely be posted AFTER seasons 3B (and 4B if possible). I am considering, after RttE Seasons B, going back and writing Riders/Defenders of Berk B seasons, though I am unsure of whether or not I'll do it for certain.

AND WHILE I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING:

You. Guys. Are. Amazing. I cannot thank you enough for all of your continued support on these stories. It means so much to me.

And I really can't stress that enough. I really, really, honestly AM UNABLE TO SAY JUST HOW MUCH YOUR SUPPORT MEANS TO ME.

Throughout this Race to the Edge Season 2B series, I have posted 13 "episodes", which have either above or below 20,000 words.

Through that time, this has happened, and looking back, I really can't believe it:
