"Misto, everything's going to be fine." Astrid said trying to comfort Mistoffelees. He was still upset about what happened between him and Victoria.

"How can you be sure?" Mistoffelees asked.

"You have to stop moping, come smile, please."

"I don't know Astrid, I-"

"Hey, Astrid you home?" Dragon called from down stairs, Misto and Astrid heard Dragon run up the stairs, down the hall and stop at Astrid's bedroom door, and began to knock.

Knock, knock, knock

"Astrid?"

Knock, knock, knock

"Astrid?"

Knock, knock, knock

"Astrid?"

"You know that you sound like an idiot do that right?" Astrid asked.

"Yes I know I just do it to bug people. Am I bugging you?" Dragon replied.

"No, you just sound as annoying as Ruffnut."

"Oh, sorry."

"It's OK; I was just joking come on in."

"OK."

Dragon opened the door, and walked in. Misto noticed something different about her, when he meet her she was wearing a forest green kimono with burnt sleeves. But now she was wearing a black long-sleeve tunic, she was wearing her Night Glider, and her silky black hair was tied back in a high ponytail, she looked like a very determined warrior. She also had a samurai sword tired to her belt. Astrid finished sharpening her axe and jumped off her bed.

"Well there Dragon, you look like you're very ready for a good hunt." Astrid said.

"You bet I am, while you and Toothless take ground patrol, I'll be taking to the sky for a bird's eye view." Dragon replied. "I'm so ready."

"I'm excited; I haven't been on a good hunt in a long time."

Misto just sat there on Astrid's bed, minding his own business. Dragon looked over Astrid's shoulder and saw Misto there; she noticed that he had a sad look in his eye. Astrid noticed that Dragon was looking over at Misto, so she moved out of the way.

"What's wrong Misto?" Dragon asked sitting down beside him. Misto willingly told Dragon what was wrong.

"Oh my gods, Misto I'm so sorry. I-I don't know what to say, or do." She said.

"It's OK, Dragon, I-I'm fine." Misto replied, he tried to hide how choked up he was. Fortunately for him Astrid didn't notice, but unfortunately, Dragon had hearing as good as a, well a dragon, so she did notice. Cue bright idea, and 'bright idea' light bulb. Ding!

"I have an idea! My old friend Stillman, he might be able to help you with your girl trouble. I know he helped me with boy trouble, so there's no doubt in my mind, I know he can help you." Dragon said. Misto seemed to brighten up.

"You really think that your friend can help me?" He asked.

"Yes, I give you my word."

"OK, where can I find him?"

"Why don't I take you to him?"

"But Dragon, what about the hunt?" Astrid asked.

"No problem Astrid, Stillman's place is in the forest, we'll just go there first, and then look for Snotlout." Dragon replied. "Friends come first." Astrid nodded. Dragon winked at Misto, and he smiled. She gave Misto her left arm and he clamber up it and sat on her shoulder.

"Uh, nice sword Dragon." He said taking another look at the samurai sword that hung from Dragon's belt.

"Oh, this thing?" Dragon asked removing the sword from her belt and showed it to Misto, who backed up a bit. "This is just my dagger." She said very calmly, Misto raised one eye brow in confusion.

"That is your dagger? No it can't be I saw your dagger before, that can't be it, can it?" Misto asked very much confused.

"Yes this is my dagger, it has unbelievable power, my godfather Draco gave it to me. This sword is just one of the many things it can do, I only know a few 'cause I really never fully understood it, but now I sorta do."

"Oh, now that's reassuring.

"You're such a bum sometimes."

"Sometimes."

"Let's go."

Astrid and Dragon walked out of the room and soon out of the house, Misto still sitting high and mighty upon Dragon's shoulder.

-Line Break-

Soon they meet up with Toothless at the edge of the forest. They walked for a short while before taking a sharp right and climbing over a giant fallen tree, and there by a very small fire sat a small dragon. He was indeed small, he was only as tall as a Terrible Terror standing on his hind legs, indeed this dragon did walk on her hind legs very much like a human, the tips of his ears and tail were black but the rest of him was a bright poppy red.

"Hey Still!" Dragon called as she dropped down from the top of the fallen tree. The small red dragon turned only for Dragon to see how big of a smile he had on his face as he ran up to her. Dragon dropped to her knees and the dragon gave her a very big hug.

"Oh my gosh, Dragon I haven't seen you is ages." The dragon replied, Dragon giggled, even Misto let out a little chuckle.

"Oh, Stillman I was only here last month."

"Ya, I know but it seemed like ages."

"You silly dragon," Dragon wrapped her arms around Stillman and gave him a hug. "Still, I'd like you to meet Magical Mr. Mistoffelees." And she gestured to Misto sitting on her shoulder.

"Nice to meet Mistoffelees, my name's Stillman, I'm a guardian dragon. Also one of Dragon's very good friends." Stillman introduced himself.

"Nice to meet you too, Stillman." Misto replied giving Stillman his paw, and the two of them shook paws.

"Stillman don't flatter yourself, you know you're my best friend." Dragon added in.

"I thought your best friend was Toothless." Misto asked.

"Half and half, T's my boyfriend Misto, Still's looked out for me for years, and never let me down, that's what makes him my best friend."

"Oh, okay."

"Anyway, Still the reason we're here is Misto's having girl trouble, I thought since you helped me, maybe you could help him, can you?"

"Can I ever! Uh, Dragon, why do you look like you're ready for a war?"

"A war, oh hell no, Astrid, T and I are going to go look for Snotlout."

"Oh, okay have fun."

Dragon lifted Misto off her shoulder and put him beside Stillman; she smiled at both of them and stood. She climbed back up and over the tree and was gone.

-Line Break-

"What'd ya see Dragon?" Called Toothless from the ground below.

"Nothing so far!" Dragon called back from high in the sky. "Wait, I see something!"

"Well where? Show us!" Astrid called. Dragon dived down and pulled up right before she hit Toothless again.

"North, fallow me." Dragon flew ahead, Toothless turned to Astrid gestured for her to hop on.

"You walking or riding?" He asked, Astrid hoped onto Toothless' back, "I'll take that as riding." Toothless then ran after Dragon, easily keeping up with her. Dragon then stopped, well not in mid air, she grabbed a tree branch swung around it, then dropped to the ground, Toothless stopped beside her. Dragon pulled out her sword from her belt, Astrid slide off Toothless' back and readied her axe. They climbed up a small hill and walked around a large tree, they stopped at the back side, some vines were covering a gap in the tree, it was definitely unnatural. Dragon took her sword and with one swift slice she cut through half the vines, then Astrid cut the rest with her axe, and there shivering with fear was, yup you guessed it, Snotlout Jorgenson. Dragon took the rope from Toothless' saddle, that she had put there earlier, and tossed it to Astrid, she then tied Snotlout up. Both girls dragged a complaining Snotlout out from his hiding place. Astrid got on Toothless' back and while Dragon lifted Snotlout up, and Astrid pulled him onto Toothless' back, laying him on his stomach letting his feet dangle on one side and his arms on the other. They then began their journey back to the village, Dragon walked beside Toothless making sure Snotlout didn't fall off.
