I'm sorry about the lack of author's note or whatever the heck this thing is here on the first chapter. My lack of computer skills plus the fact that this is my first fanficion should give me enough of an excuse right? Probably not. I could go back and edit it but I'm too lazy and far too busy. Well, busy in my own opinion. Anyway, it's short, it's not very good, but I wrote it anyway! Feel free to insult my work as long as you come up with an interesting insult…
Enjoy!

If Tomorrow Never Came
If tomorrow never came, if today was the last day I ever spent on this earth, I think I'd be ok with that. Everything was just how it should be. My dad could look at me and be proud. The village and the dragons were at peace, living amongst each other willingly. Astrid loved me back. And who could forget the scraggly group of teenagers who were always there to pick me up, usually literally. But these weren't the main reasons why I finally felt happy. It was the love and companionship of a single creature, a creature so vicious it once killed for pleasure that made my new life more than wonderful.
I leaned back on a moss covered rock and took in the world around me. The evening sun poured golden light through the dense forest, its reach slowly retreading from the lake's glittering surface. Songbird's trills and calls echoed through the silence of the forest, and only glimpses of their colorful wings could be seen from beside the water. A light spring breeze tousled my brown locks, moving them back and forth, back and forth. Undoing the strap, I pulled off my harness of and placed it gently aside. Today had been a good day. We had soared higher and higher until the clouds were a distant memory, weaving and spinning, dancing in a world all our own. In the air there was only him and me, two friends as one. It was my escape, it was my world, it was the only place where I could be…me. And it was all because of him.
Breathing deeply I closed my eyes. I let the day's simple pleasures sink in and drifted off into sleep, where no dream could ever be better than reality again…before a dark form appeared out of nowhere and knocked me a clean five feet sideways. After shaking off the blow, I looked up to see Toothless crouching down, ready to play.
If tomorrow never came, that would be just fine.
