A lot of you guys have wanted me to update. To be frank, I had lost my inspiration for this story, until I had watched RTTE season 4. I was in love with the Hiccstrid episodes, and I want the new season to air soon too, because they once again left it on a cliffhanger. Curse the writers.
Astrid gently retreated her hand from the Nadder's head.
"This is amazing." She breathed.
"Wait untill you are actually up in the sky. Flying on a dragon's back is the best thing in the whole world." Hiccup said, a huge and goofy smile plastered on his face.
"Then prepare me to fly." Astrid said, as determined as ever.
His smile got even wider, and Astrid laughed.
"You look really stupid, youknow that right?" She laughed.
Hiccup looked at her fake offended.
"Now you will have to earn her trust over the weeks. Once she fully trusts you, you can try and take het for a flight." Hiccup explained. "The first step is feeding her. Give it a try." He encouraged the blonde Viking girl.
She nodded and picked up a the dragon had noticed the fish, it started waggin it's tail, and it eyes went big and round like saucers.
Astrid smiled. "You hungry? You want the fish girl?" She asked excitedly.
"Catch!" She said, and threw the fish up in the air.
The Deadly Nadder snatched it out of the air. Hiccup laughed happily at the sight.
"That's a great start." He commented.
"Thanks." Astrid said. She let out a little suprised sound, when the Nadder nudged her.
"She wants more fish." Hiccup laughed.
Astrid sent him a glare, but fed the dragon another fish.
Astrid patted the head of the Nadder.
"Can I name her?" Astrid asked.
Hiccup nodded. "I wouldn't know her name, I'm only just starting to learn Dragonese. Besides most dragons don't have names, only the old ones do sometimes." He said.
"Wait, Dragonese?" Astrid asked.
The boy nodded.
"The language of the dragons. It's a difficult one, I give it that." He chuckled.
She looked at him amazed.
"You really have changed much." She smiled. "And that's a good thing."
There was a short awkward silence as Hiccup didn't respond to what she said.
"So what about that name?" He asked after that short while.
"Oh...Eh yeah." She replied stupidly. She let her hand rest on the side of the Nadders head. "I think I'll name you Stormfly, do you like that name girl?" She asked. The Nadder nodded happily. Astrid smiled, and Hiccup got up.
"Hey, uhm we need to go." He said urgently, indicating to his father approaching.
He quickly led the Nadder to the still open pen.
"Come quickly." Hiccup grabbed Astrid's hand and pulled her with him. And they nearly made it, if he hadn't tripped.
The auburned hair boy took Astrid with her in his fall, and the noise caught his father's ear. Which Hiccup didn't fully understand, seeing all the yelling and shouting he and the village did.
"What are you two doing down there?" Stoic bellowed. Hiccup could see he was angry, if not furious.
The arena was forbidden, if you weren't training that was.
"Uh would you believe us if we told you we fell down from the gate there...hehe." Hiccup lied, badly.
Astrid groaned, and pushed herself up.
Hiccup scrambled up himself.
"HICCUP!" Stoick yelled furious.
"You can't punnish him, cause he isn't part of the tribe anymore, technically." Astrid told Stoick, who now was walking away, grumbling angrilly.
Hiccup let out a relieved laugh. "I can't believe you just did that." He said, suprised.
"Just stating the facts." She laughed. "Maybe a thanks, I did just save your skin." She stated.
"Oh why yes, thank you M'lady." He said jokingly.
Astrid elbowed him in the ribs. "Come on." She grinned and, dragged him with her.
