Note: I do not own HTTYD, just Aurora

Chapter 4:

[Toothless Point of View]

I woke up just as the sunlight leaked over into the hole. I stood up and stretched before looking at Aurora. She looked peaceful while she was sleeping and I decided not to wake her up. Instead, I opened my wings and flew up to the ledge. I would go get Hiccup so we could get Aurora's breakfast and then I'd be back. I took off toward the village.

I found Hiccup with Astrid. Big surprise. They were watching the sun come up, and even though Astrid was taller than Hiccup, she still managed to place her head on his shoulder. I sat behind them. My eyes narrowed, but not completely in a mean way. I snorted to get their attention. I don't like being ignored.

Astrid suddenly threw her head up, almost as if she was embarrassed being caught. Hiccup looked back at me, his cheeks a little flushed.

"Hey Toothless! Sleep well?" he asked me. I guess I slept okay, Aurora tends to kick, just so you know. I simply nodded in response to Hiccup's question. He nodded back.

"That's good."

I looked at Hiccup and motioned with my head to the direction Aurora was in. Hiccup smiled.

"Come on Astrid, let's go." I growled at Hiccup. He was NOT about to bring her to see Aurora.

"What's wrong Toothless?" he asked me. I looked at Astrid and back to Hiccup. "You are so selfish Toothless, Astrid can see too."

"See what?" Astrid questioned.

"Toothless found a Night Fury, and we've been looking after it for a little while."

"Another Night Fury?" Astrid inquired.

Hiccup nodded. "And a girl at that." Astrid smiled brightly.

"Maybe I could train that one! And then we can both have Night Furies!" She clapped at the thought.

"But what about your Dragon?" Hiccup asked, referring to her Deadly Nadder. He was nice enough, not my first choice in a buddy.

"He won't mind a friend. And maybe they'll be more than friends! Aw, I can see it now!"

Oh heck no. She did not just say that. Did she?

"Yea, that'd be sweet," Hiccup told her encouragingly. Astrid punched his arm playfully.

"Well, come on! Let's go!" She grabbed Hiccup's arm and dragged him onto my back. Hiccup patted my neck.

"Okay, come on Toothless, let's go see your friend."

I sat there. First he wants to take Astrid to see Aurora after she gets to tag along with everything else, then he lets Astrid just TAKE Aurora and then let her make plans on who she's gonna like? I had no idea why, but it made me kind of mad. So I sat there.

"Toothless," Hiccup repeated, more stern. I looked back at him as if to say 'yeeessss?' He huffed and climbed off of my back. He helped Astrid off after he was on the ground.

"Come on Astrid. Toothless is being rude today, we'll just walk." Astrid nodded and hand in hand, then walked toward where Aurora was.

I let them walk a little ways ahead of me before taking off to head back to Aurora.

[Aurora's Point of View]

I woke up slowly, fluttering my eyes. I stretched and stood up, flexing my wing slightly. Huh, didn't hurt nearly as bad as yesterday. Maybe that kid could do a thing or two.

I walked in a circle to flex my muscles a little bit. I had just stuck my head into the water to get something to drink before I heard Toothless in my ear.

"Boo."

I jumped, spraying water everywhere. Toothless was laughing so hard and I simply narrowed my eyes and stuck my head back into the water. I slurped it slowly.

"Are you mad Aurora?" he asked, placing his head closer to mine. I ignored him. "Aw, don't be mad. I was just picking." I took my head out of the water and looked at him. "Honest, I am." I looked at him a little while longer before shooting the water in my mouth at him. His ears flopped down, but he had a half smile on his face.

"If you're honest." I giggled slightly.

He chuckled. "So do you forgive me?"

"I was never mad." I told him, walking away.

"Nice." He thought sarcastically. I smiled before laying down. He laid down in front of me and clicked his claws on the dirt, making a muffled beat.

"So, no breakfast?" I asked, only half kidding.

"I went to go get Hiccup, but he just HAD to bring his mate… girlfriend… whatever the humans call it." I nodded.

"Why don't you like her?" I questioned.

"She's nice and all but she just gets in the way too much. It used to be just me and Hiccup. But now she always has to tag along."

"Am I in the way?" I hoped I wasn't. I didn't want Toothless to hate me.

"Huh? No, you're fine, but she's just always there and… I don't know."

"I get what you're saying," I told him comfortingly. He smiled his thanks. Obviously he wasn't good with words.

We sat in silence for a few more minutes, the water slapping easily on the bank. "So do you have a mate?" I asked, curiosity getting the best of me.

"Me? No." He answered simply. I wondered why not. Being the only Night Fury in his village, I'm sure the female dragons would kill for that position. "You?" he said, cutting into my thoughts.

"No."

Then we were back to the silence, but it was a calming silence, the kind you have when you're really comfortable around someone, and words aren't really necessary.

"Oh, by the way," Toothless started suddenly. I looked at him. "Hiccup and his girl are coming after they get your breakfast. Astrid, the girl, is gonna make you her pet dragon."

"Excuse me?" I asked, shocked that the human girl would just pick me like it was nothing.

"Hiccup let her, don't blame me." I snorted. "Oh, and she thinks you and her other dragon are going to be 'special friends'."

My eyes widened a little at that. First the girl just picks me as hers, and then she picks who I'm going to like? She must be crazy.

"That's what she thinks," I told Toothless. About that time, Hiccup and Astrid came through a small opening in the rock wall.

"Hey you two!" Hiccup greeted, waving with his hand that wasn't holding Astrid's. The girl looked at me and smiled, letting go of Hiccup's hand and coming to me. She held her hand out for me to sniff.

Her hand smelled vaguely of Hiccup, but other than that, she had her own distinct smell underneath that.

"Have you named her yet?" She asked Hiccup. Oh that's right. They didn't know my name. Crap.

"No, you can if you want." Hiccup told her before going back to whispering to Toothless. Astrid looked back at me, her expression thoughtful.

"Hmmmm… I like… Cloud!" She must've been referring to me my skin, but still, what kind of name is that?

"She's kidding, right?" I asked Toothless.

"You're asking the one named 'Toothless'," he replied and I sighed. The human girl hugged me softly around the neck.

"Cloud, you and I are going to be great friends, and just wait till you meet Stinky.

That's what she thought, and that meeting didn't sound very appealing in the least.

That was chapter 4, R&R, next chapter will be up soon!
