Chapter 6:

[Toothless Point of View]

It had been a week or so since I had met Aurora, and we were growing closer every day. I would go with Astrid and Hiccup when they went to feed her, and I spent most nights talking to her until she fell asleep. Stinky had excepted that we were friends, though his lust for Aurora didn't go unnoticed. Aurora and Astrid had been getting along pretty good for the most part and they seemed to be forming a love-hate relationship more or less.

When Hiccup and I went to check on Aurora today, we noticed her wing had healed and she was in the process of taking off when we got to the ledge. I thought she was just flexing so I didn't worry too much. But when she opened up her grey wings and took off into the air, I got a little worried. After a few minutes, Hiccup patted me on the back.

"Sorry buddy." And with that he turned around and walked back towards the village. I sat down, a little shocked that Aurora would leave without saying good-bye. I sighed, looking at the ground, getting mad at myself for not convincing her to stay before her wing even got better in the first place.

"Aurora," I called out, hoping maybe she would hear me. When she didn't say anything back, I stood up and turned around, my eyes on the ground. I stopped when my nose hit something and I looked up.

"Boo."

Aurora was sitting down, a smirk on her face. I roared out in shock, stumbling back a bit. She laughed when I fell on my butt.

"Where'd you come from?" I asked.

"Uh, the sky?" She told me, not getting what I was saying.

"No, I mean, you left… or at least I thought you did…" I explained, repositioning myself so that I was sitting.

"Did you miss me?"

"Well, yea…" I told her.

She chuckled. "I was just stretching my wings. I did the same thing yesterday, you, Hiccup and Astrid just weren't here then." I nodded my head. "Besides," she started. "I would at least say bye if I was going to leave for good."

I was glad, she was my best friend, next to Hiccup of course, and I would at least want to say good-bye if she happened to want to leave.

"Come on," She said after a minute of silence. "I'm better now, let's go see that village of yours."

"You sure?" I asked. I didn't know how the other dragons would react to her.

"Positive," she smiled, and I smiled back at her.

"Well then, let's go." And with that, we opened our wings and took off towards Berk.

When we got to Berk, we walked towards Hiccup's house slowly, so Aurora would have a chance to soak it all in. Her face was filled with amazement as she looked at the buildings and people as they walked by with their dragons.

"This is so awesome!" She told me, a smile spread out on her face.

"You get used to it," I responded nonchalantly. She looked back around, taking in everything. Even though she wasn't paying attention, I could see the looks some of the male dragons gave her, and could pick up an occasional thought. I didn't know why, but it made me mad, so I ushered Aurora to Hiccup's place a little bit faster.

When we finally got to Hiccup's place, I got her through the door and closed it before exhaling deeply to myself. I opened my eyes to see Hiccup rubbing Aurora's head.

"So she came back after all, huh Toothless?" I nodded in response. Hiccup and Aurora had grown close enough so that Aurora didn't mind an occasional rubbing.

"Glad you guys have so much faith in me," Aurora thought, her eyes still half shut as Hiccup rubbed her.

"Sorry," I told her just as Astrid came down the steps of Hiccups house and ran over to Aurora.

"Hey Cloud," Astrid said, putting a hand on Aurora's shoulder. Aurora held back a comment as she smiled a toothless grin at her human. Astrid patted her arm and turned around to Hiccup.

"Thank we should take them out riding?" She asked. Hiccup shrugged his shoulders.

"It's up to you. Cloud's wing seems pretty good, so I don't think it would be a problem." Astrid put her hands on her hips and smiled.

"Got an extra dragon saddle?"

[Aurora Point of View]

I was new to this whole flying with a human thing, so I was a bit nervous. I stood still as Astrid saddled me up. I smiled when I saw Toothless in his saddle, he looked great.

"Ready?" He asked me. I took a deep breath.

"As I'll ever be," I replied as Astrid climbed on my back. She looked over at Hiccup.

"All set?"

"Yep," he told her, and Astrid hit my sides with her heels and I opened my wings and Toothless opened his.

"Go!" Astrid said and I took off into the air. Toothless started after me, gaining up more with every beat of his wings. I smiled to myself as I climbed higher and higher. Soon, I bust through the clouds and into the open atmosphere. Toothless came up beside of me and smiled.

"Having fun?"

"You know it!" I laughed as I spun around. I heard Astrid laugh and once I was right side up, she leaned over so that she was next to my ear.

"Wanna show these boys how it's done?" She asked. I nodded enthusiastically. She chuckled. "Alright. On your mark… get set…" Hiccup looked at his girlfriend oddly. "GO!"

I fixed my wings so that Astrid and I torpedoed through the air, picking up more and more of an advantage on the boys.

"Hey!" I heard both boys say simultaneously. I giggled and sped up even more. I looked back to see Toothless picking up speed.

"Go Cloud, go!" Astrid called between laughs, tapping my sides with her heels. I pushed myself even harder before diving downward.

"Wahooooo!" I heard Astrid call. I smiled and we broke through the clouds, the sun setting beautifully, casting a warm orange light on the open ocean. I looked around at it, enchanted by the view. At that time the boys came up beside us and we just glided as we took in the sight.

"Amazing isn't it?" I asked Toothless.

"Yea, it is," But when I looked at him, he was looking at me and wasn't even glancing at the water. I blushed slightly and looked forward.

I looked at him once more, the orange light coating his black skin, his eyes glowing a warm yellow from the light. That's when I decided. No matter how it happened, somewhere along the way I had started to like Toothless; as more than a friend. I didn't know if he felt even remotely the same, but I didn't care at this exact moment. And I was falling for him;

I just hoped he was there to catch me when I finally fell.

That was chapter 6 :) R&R! Hope you liked it!
