Sorry if I took a while! I got kind of busy again! But here's the new chapter!
Also, I just want to address something. A got a few comparisons to the Heather episode on this story. I agree, they are both similar, but they're also both different. You'll see as the story goes on! I just want you to know I'm not copying anything! That episode was my inspiration for this, but I'm not trying to copy it! I just liked the idea of it!

Chapter 5:

A few days have passed since Hiccup and Erika kissed in the woods. Since then, the two started a relationship. Erika was really eager to, but Hiccup was hesitant. After some convincing by Erika, he agreed. Then again, Erika could make almost anyone agree to anything. She has had that skill since she was a young girl. She was very much like a siren. She was very beautiful, alluring, charming, but had an aura of maliciousness to her. Nevertheless, Hiccup fell hard for her. Something about her just made him want to be around her. Her shady history meant nothing to him. He completely disregarded it, which was very unlike him. However, Erika's beauty was all Hiccup ever really needed.

They decided to let Berk know they were both off the market. They walked around town holding hands, laughing, and hugging. Public displays of affection often took place in the academy as well. After Erika completed a challenge correctly, a kiss or a peck was the reward. It wasn't long before the rest of the teens caught on. And it wasn't long before teasing caught on as well.
"Wow, I'm actually really surprised. Hiccup got a girlfriend before me," Snotlout said sarcastically. "I mean, I'm just holding out for the right one. Ladies ask me out all the time but I respectfully decline. So technically I could have had a girlfriend first, which means Hiccup didn't get one before me, so I win!"
"Win what?" Hiccup asked.
"Bragging rights! Duh!"
"I happen to think you two make a lovely couple" Fishlegs chimed in.
"Yea, and by lovely I think you mean disgusting." Ruffnut joked.
"C'mon, guys! Just let it go. If you want to keep training dragons, you're just going to have to accept the fact that we're a couple!" Astrid, who was quiet and in the corner choked a little on the word couple. She couldn't stand the fact that Hiccup was dating her. They only just met! It was absolutely crazy. She should be the one with him, the one getting made fun of for being lovey-dovey. She couldn't stand the fact that Hiccup's first relationship wasn't with her. She was his first everything! First friend, supporter, believer, kiss, and heartbreak. Now Erika was his first girlfriend. Just the thought of it made Astrid sick to her stomach.

After dragon training, Astrid pulled Hiccup aside and they went to Thor's Beach together. It was just like old times. Except this time, Astrid was going to tell him her feelings. She is a big strong, independent Viking, and she can defeat armies of men singlehandedly. But trying to explain her feelings was probably one of the hardest, most daunting things she'd ever have to do.
"Hiccup," she began, sitting on the same rock Erika sat on only a few days earlier. "I want to talk to you..."
"If it's about Erika, I don't want to hear it." Hiccup interrupted.
"Yes, you do. Look, I'm a girl. And last time I checked, you are a boy."
"You checked?"
"Never mind that! My point is, I understand women better than you! I can tell when they are just using you, and that's what Erika's doing! She's using you! Oden knows what for, but she's using you. It's all a ploy, a trap."
"I'm sick of hearing this, Astrid, please!"
"Then hear this instead." She took a deep breath and began to speak, but before she could get two words out, Hiccup interrupted.
"Look, Astrid. It was nice talking to you, but I have to go. My dad's going to be worried if I stay out too late. I'll talk to you tomorrow."
"No you won't." She muttered under her breath. Hiccup boarded Toothless and flew off. Astrid had a feeling he knew what she was going to say and wanted to get out of it. But then again he was stupid enough to fall into Erika's trap, so maybe he was just plain clueless after all.

Hiccup said goodnight to Toothless and walked inside. Normally, Toothless would go with him, but since the air was warmer than usual, Toothless decided to sleep under the stars. While he was settling in, Tuna nudged him, as if to say "hello". Tuna slept outside each night, since there was no room for her in the house. Hiccup had begun plans for making a new barn to accommodate the Night Fury, and possibly another one, or multiple other ones. But for now, they slept out in the open. But Tuna didn't mind. She liked looking at the stars. She was confined to one place her whole life, and never got to see the world. She had a taste of it now, and yearned for more. But her loyalty to her master was stronger than her passion to travel. So, as many dragons do, she stayed where she was put and did what she was told.

Toothless sensed her welcoming nudge and nudged back. They were both too tired to roughhouse, but they still acknowledged each other. They communicated though small noises, the dragon equivalent to whispering sweet nothings. Toothless was pretty fond of Tuna. Never before had he seen another species of his own. He hadn't even known his own two parents, which, contrary to popular folklore, were not lighting and death itself. They were in fact two Night Furies. Nevertheless, Toothless had strong feelings toward Tuna. He really liked her, and felt the need to protect her, just like Hiccup. Except he was more drawn to her. It would be wrong to say these two dragons weren't in love. They definitely shared a special, unbreakable bond. Even if Toothless thought Erika was sketchy, he didn't think her dragon was. At the end of the day, Tuna is a Night Fury, and Night Furies will do what Night Furies do. They nudged and whispered to each other until they fell asleep, comfy in each other's company. The air was warm, but still had a brisk chill. The two dragons didn't mind though. They had all the warmth they could ever want just laying beside each other.

The next day, Toothless rose bright and early for a morning flight. Tuna tried to get Erika to do that same thing, but she refused to get up before sunrise. Seeing how disappointed Tuna was, Hiccup offered to take her out flying with them. Excited, she flew off into the sky, leading the way. Finally being free of control, she swooped, dipped, and turned all over the sky. Toothless longed to do it with her, but was confined to control. Hiccup took notice of that, and tired to keep up with Tuna, but he could hardly do it. They flew all over Berk for at least a few hours. It was the first time that Hiccup and Toothless had ever missed watching the sunrise. After many air tricks later, the trio landed back in the Village. The sun was high in the sky, and village life was in full swing. Erika stood at the front door of Hiccups house, arms crossed and foot tapping. She had a vaguely angry expression on her face.
"Where were you?" she asked Hiccup.
"Just flying Toothless as usual, why do you ask?"
"You took my dragon with you."
"I know, she wanted to come! I could see it in her face! I let her tag along! Was I not supposed to?"
"No, of course not! That's my dragon! My dragon, my rules! I don't want her flying all over some island she doesn't know! What if she got lost or hurt?"
"She was with me, it's alright."
"But you saw how fast she is. She... she's not like yours. She can fly freely, but I don't want her to." Sensing that they were talking about her, Tuna sank her head and made low moaning sounds.
"I'm sorry, I won't do it again."
"You bet your ass you won't."
"Whoa, hold on there, no need to swear at me."
"You could have killed my dragon!"
"I'm sorry, babe! I didn't know. It's just that she wanted to go so bad. I could tell. And, man on man did she looks happy up there."
"She's happy with me!" Toothless sensed Tuna's uneasiness and went to comfort her. Hiccup took Erika aside and into his blacksmith's shop.
"Look, I'm sorry. Just let it go. I made a mistake and I won't do it again! I don't know why you're getting so angry! If you really want to keep your dragon safe, I'd hightail it out of here and go back to where you came from."
"Excuse me?"
"What, if we're throwing insults out, I want to get in on it. Can't let you have all the fun."
"Well, you know what, mister? Maybe I will get out of here. Maybe I will leave. Scauldron Cove is better anyway."
"Well, fine. Your times almost up anyway."
"Good."
"Fine."
"Great."
"You staying anyway?"
"Yup."
"I thought so." Hiccup stormed out, leaving Erika behind. They just had their first argument, and a pretty bad one to. But Erika knew Hiccup would let it go soon and forgive her, for she had already forgiven him. She walked out, but not before snagging a pretty good-looking knife sitting on one of Hiccups work tables.

Hope you liked it! I'll be updating soon since it's almost February break for me! :)
