Sorry guys, this chapter is going to be kinda short. I have a 5-page essay on Elizabethan medicine due tomorrow and I haven't started. :( Major procrastination, I know.

Chapter dedicated to: idontcare14. Thanks so much, you are so inspiring!

"Svea," Hiccup whispered. Svea kept her eyes closed, shielding herself form the sun and preserving the last strands of her dreams.

Toothless grumbled.

"Hush bud, we'll just go when she gets up," Hiccup whispered to his dragon. He stood up to leave her to rest, but couldn't help gazing at her.

Her long golden hair was spread around her head like the rays from the sun, and her sun-kissed ivory skin shone. Her eyes opened slowly and caught on Hiccups, the same as the first time she woke to see him.

"Umm, uh… morning." Hiccup stammered.

Svea yawned and stretched her arms. "So are we going after that Changewing today?"

"Yeah, I thought we would. The rest of the gang is coming too, sure they seem sort of…"

"Stupid," Svea finished.

"Yeah, but they can have their moments." Hiccup said.

Svea smiled, "I'm fine with it Hiccup."

The two got on toothless and leaped into the air, their destination was the arena.

"Finally!" Astrid yelled as toothless landed. "What took you two so long?"

Svea stared at Hiccup, who was wearing a slight look of guilt. Svea knew why they were late; hiccup allowed her to sleep in. "It's my fault, I slept to late." Svea said.

Astrid nodded, and turned back to her Nadder.

"Lets go already!" Snotlout whined.

"I agree with that," Tuffnut said.

"Ooo! Ooo! When we get there, can Barf and Belch blow stuff up?" Ruffnut asked, pressing her hands together.

"No guys, this is a training mission, not a blow-stuff-up mission," Hiccup said.

"Aww," Tuffnut, Ruffnut, and Snotlout said in unison.

The teens mounted their dragons. Just as Svea was getting on Toothless's back, Snotlout spoke. "Why does she always have to ride on Toothless? You know, there's plenty of room on Hookfang," He gestured to the space behind him. "And if you need something to hold onto, I'm here for you," He said.

"No offence, but I would never get on that thing while you're steering it," Svea said with a smirk. Hiccup chuckled.

Snotlout scoffed, "that was offensive."

"Good"

"But, you said no offense!" Snotlout whined.

"I said that to Hookfang." Svea said. Hiccup nudged Toothless and they plunged into the sky, leaving Snotlout to complain. They landed in the forest, where birds chirped, and other sounds illuminated the trees.

"Ruff, Tuff, check east, Snotlout and Fishlegs west, Astrid south. Svea and I will check the cove." Hiccup said.

"Umm… which way's east?" Tuffnut asked.

Hiccup groaned, "Just look wherever."

The teens proceeded to look. Every branch snap transformed into an ominous Changewing's steps, every tree creaking was the grumble of its awaiting attack.

Fishlegs screamed. "It's right behind me!" Hiccup raced to Fishlegs, Svea followed close behind.

"Don't be stupid Fishlegs, that was you brushing against my elbow" Astrid said.

"Oh… F-F-False alarm then," He stuttered.

Hiccup squatted down and observed a bush. "Guys, it was here." He said softly. A hole was burnt in the bush, as if acid dripped down from above it. Shivers ran down Svea's neck. They continued to look. Hiccup continued to observe the burnt bush.

"I forgot what we were looking for," Tuffnut whispered to Ruffnut.

Svea wandered into the forest, trying to find the spot where she was hit by the rock.

A low gurgling rumbled from behind her, she spun around and searched the area. A leaf twitched on the tree, Svea approached that tree cautiously, and extended her hand. She reached her hand forward, and touched the bark of the tree; She was wrong. Or was she? The dragon appeared in a flash of crimson, almost blinding Svea. She let out a whimper as the dragon growled and snarled. Svea tripped and fell on her backside, completely vulnerable to the dragon. She pushed herself up and stood on her hands and knees, facing the dragon. The Changewing stopped, and looked at her curiously. The dragon took one step closer and tilted it's head. Svea stepped closer, still on her hands and knees, and did the same as the dragon. The Changewing seemed intrigued in the girl's actions. Svea stood up, and stared at the dragon.

"You just like to copy, don't you?" Svea whispered.

The Changewing grumbled; not an angry grumble, it sounded more like a purr.

Svea reached her hand out and closed her eyes. Suddenly, the silky soft scales of the dragon caressed her palm. It felt softer than Toothless's. At that moment, she trusted the dragon completely and understood all of hiccup's words.

"Svea," Hiccup said, astonished. Svea opened her eyes and pulled her hand away from the dragon.

"Yes?" She asked. The Changewing stepped up next to Svea, glaring curiously at Toothless and the boy.

"You—You trained it!"

Svea looked proudly at the dragon next to her.

Fishlegs scrambled through the trees. "Oh my Odin! We have so much to learn, so much to document!" He said, out of breath. "The first Changewing ever trained!" He gasped, then collapsed out of exhaustion.

Svea smiled at the Changewing, her very own dragon. What should she name it? What gender is it? Thousands of questions ran through her mind.
