"Calm down." Astrid grabbed her boyfriends arms. He was so exited to show her the knew stables. He was jumping with excitement. He was practically dragging her. "See. See. Isn't it cool?" He bit his lip to keep from yelling. Astrid smiled. For the past month Hiccup and Toothless spent ever moment helping to build the stables." See now the baby dragons don't have to worry about the cold." He scratched and baby Nadder under the chin. "Hi Hookfang." Hiccup waved at the Nightmare who flicked his tounge in response." And the dragons can stay on Berk to lay their eggs." He pointed to a hole in the ground full of water. Astrid shook her head smiling.
"Oh and...um, hello." A baby Gronkle tumbled into his hands and cooed joyfully. "Aww." He looked up to see a mother Gronkle peering over the ledge. "OH." Toothless lowered his head. Hiccup climbed on and the night fury lifted Hiccup up to the mother Gronkle. "There you go little guy." he let the baby crawl onto it's mothers snout. He pat the adult on the nose. "HI Meatlug." Toothless lowered him down. "Thanks bud." He rubbed Toothlesses neck and grabbed Astrid.
"Come on." "I'm coming, I'm coming. Slow down." Hiccup yanked her down behind a pile of door."Hey!" Hiccup covered her mouth with his hand. He pointed over the dirt. "OH what is it?" She peered over the mound. It was a Thunderdrum!" Hiccup, where did she come from?" Hiccup sat up next to her. "Toothless found her on the beach. Her tail was smashed. See?" He pointed to the splint on her tail. "We moved her in first thing. Look." "I see her Hiccup." Hiccup shifted his leg and shook his head grinning ear from ear." I mean that." He gently grabbed her jaw and turned her head. "Whoa. When did that happen?"
Astrid stared in awe at the large blue egg the Thunderdrum had her wing wrapped around. "I don't know when that happened but I'm glad I wasn't there." Astrid glared and raised and eyebrow at her boyfriend. "Sorry you asked." Astrid crawled over the mound of dirt. She slowly crept toward the Thunderdrum and carefully held out her hand. The Thunderdrum made a deep rumbling in her throat."It's okay." Astrid whispered. The hostile dragon calmed. Her eyes dilated and the growling stopped. She brushed her snout to the girls hand and lifted her wing. While a good way to tell a dragon trusts you it gently touching the hand, the best way to tell is if a dragon trusts you with it's offspring. Hiccup grinned. "That was impressive."
He scooted toward them and patted Astrid's shoulder. The dragons closed her wing again and became aggressive again." Looks like we've found a dragon who just doesn't like you." Hiccup pouted and kneeled holding out his hand."Hey Fig. I'm not going to hurt you. Not that I even could with these noodle arms." Hiccup grinned. He couldn't smile with teeth or she might mistake it for growling. He looked the Thunderdrum in the eyes. This normally isn't a good idea seeing how a dragons eyes are hypnotic, but that never quite seemed to bother Hiccup." Fig?" "That's her name." Astrid tried not to laugh. The Thunderdrum finally calmed and began to purr. She licked his hand and lifted her wing again.
Astrid's eye twitched. "How did you do that?" She hissed. "When my dad had Thornado you had to look him in the eye to get his attention. For a dragon that tends to lock people out, looking them in the eye some how relaxes them. Fishlegs says that dragons can see into your soul though your eyes. I don't really believe it but it works." Astrid sighed and scratched Fig by the eye. The rumbling noise started again. "Whoa what did I do?" Astrid jumped back. Fig's eyes widened and slit."Um..." She looked back at the egg and dashed away from the stall."Where's she going?" Hiccup's eyes flowed her."Uh, Hiccup." He looked back at the egg. It was rocking back and forth. It was hatching! Oh no."Astrid get behind the dirt mound." Hiccup yanked Astrid back. "Wait why?" She looked back at the egg.
Hiccup panicked. He put his hands over her ears, practically crushing her head and pulled her down. A huge bang filled the stables. Even with Hiccup covering her ears, Astrid could hear it plenty loud. Astrid moves Hiccup's hands and looked at the baby Thunderdrum. Many dragons peaked in to see what was going on. Fig rushed back in to protect her new born baby. "That was loud." She shook her head to and tried to pop her ears. "Aww." All the other dragons went back to there own business."WHAT!?" Hiccup screamed. The baby dragon began to wail. "Hiccup." She smacked his arm. He narrowed his eyes confused. "I CAN'T HERE YOU!" Some of the dragons began growling. "Sweet baby Thor in a thunderstorm will you please shut up?" She whispered covering his mouth.
He pulled her arm away."WH-" Astrid pulled him close and kissed him on the lips. She pulled away. Hiccup's eyes were closed still but she was in shock of what she just did. Hiccup shook his head and opened is eyes. "Wow." She said under his breath. "Can you hear again now or something." Hiccup squinted still not hearing her. "I guess , let's get you Gothi." She pulled his arm and dragged him out of the stables. All the dragons had been watching their kiss. Stormfly laughed approvingly. All the other dragons started to chuckle, well the dragons version of chuckling. Huh, young love.
