A/N: Here's a code I made up for you so this is easier to read.

Bold: Dragons are talking
Italics: Humans are thinking
Bold italics: Dragons are thinking
Underlined: Any language being spoken that isn't either Norse or Dragonese by bilingual/multilingual characters. It will be written like this for humans:

*Language goes here "Insert speech here."

And like this for dragons:

*Language goes here "Insert speech here."

If there isn't a language in front of the speech, assume that they are speaking Norse if they're human and Dragonese if they're dragons. Sorry about giving such a long A/N, but I felt I had to explain this for you.

When Brenna and Starlight landed on Berk, they were amazed. The teens were right: nearly everyone they saw had a dragon. And these dragons were treated as part of the family, like a son or daughter. They even helped the humans with their jobs, carrying the baskets of fish from the docks or chasing yaks back into the fields. Brenna hugged Starlight with joy. They finally had a place to call home. The island wasn't so bad, but they preferred to live with other people, and now, other dragons.

"So, you like it round here?" Hiccup asked. Brenna and Starlight nodded. The teens continued to walk to the Great Hall, Toothless inching closer to Starlight with every step. Starlight was walking over to Toothless, and eventually, the two bumped heads.

"Ow! What was- oh, hey, Starlight," Toothless said, all his anger dissipating the moment he realised who bumped into him. "Sorry."

"No, it's my fault," Starlight insisted. "I should have known something like this might happen."

"Hey, you mind moving?" Hookfang asked. "You're causing a blockage."

"Sorry!" both Night Furies squeaked, as they hurriedly separated. At that point, Stormfly decided that she needed a little girl talk with Starlight.

"What happened to you?" Stormfly asked, as she moved closer to Starlight. "Are you OK?"

"Fine, fine," Starlight told her. "It wasn't that bad, and Toothless didn't seem hurt. He was actually pretty cool about it."

"You did say that you should have known something like this might happen," Stormfly mused. Then she gasped. "You have a crush on Toothless, don't you?"

"No!" Starlight denied. Stormfly saw right through her.

"Aww, you totally do and you're too shy to admit it! That's so cute!" Stormfly gushed. "Is bumping into him your way of flirting with him?"

"It was an accident!" Starlight lied. Secretly, she was in love with the Night Fury, but one thing confused her. "Who's Toothless?"

"That's the Night Fury you have a major crush on," Stormfly explained. "We know, it's a silly name, but Toothless doesn't mind. It's the only name he's ever known and he hates being made fun of for it. I did that once and he refused to speak to me for a month until I took back what I'd said!"

"Oh, so that's his name," Starlight mused. "He never told me, and I only know you, Meatlug and Hookfang."

"I'll make sure you're properly introduced, don't worry about it," Stormfly soothed. Starlight was relieved.

"Thanks, Stormfly," Starlight whispered.

"Don't mention it," Stormfly grinned. "No, really. Don't mention it, especially around Toothless. He has really good hearing."

"Got it," Starlight answered, going over to properly talk to Toothless. Hookfang saw her and gave Toothless a heads up.

"Hey, lover-boy, your girlfriend awaits," Hookfang teased. Toothless growled.

"Shut up and go away!" Toothless hissed.

"Well, that makes sense. Young love needs plenty of space," Hookfang grinned, leaving Toothless and Starlight alone . . . well, that's what they thought. What he'd actually done was hide behind a house to watch everything unfold.

"Hey, Toothless," Starlight nervously greeted, terrified. "What's your name?"

"It's Toothless, you just said it," Toothless answered, confused. "Why are you asking if you know already?"

Starlight panicked. "Oh, I know what your name is. I just wanted to know why you're called this."

"The first time I met Hiccup, my rider, he thought I didn't have any teeth, which explains the name," Toothless told her. Starlight was still curious.

"How could he possibly think you didn't have any teeth?" she asked. Toothless grinned and retracted his teeth, exposing his gums.

"Does this help?" Toothless asked. Starlight was confused.

Toothless, you're an idiot, Hookfang thought, groaning.

"Oh, right," she whispered in shock, before she returned to her normal voice. "Wait, quick question. What's the name of the two-headed green Zippleback that insulted Brenna?"

"That's Barf and Belch," Toothless told her. "Barf is the one that breathes gas, Belch ignites it. I warn you, though, they might try to mess with you because you're new."

"Oh, they're going to mess with me? If they even think about messing with me, they'll wish they never hatched out of their rotten eggs!" Starlight shouted. Toothless took a step back with shock.

Starlight, you're an idiot, Stormfly thought, groaning. Hookfang, frustrated, decided to get Toothless out of there.

"Oh, there you are, Toothless! You need to come with me," Hookfang hurriedly excused, dragging Toothless away.

"What?" Toothless yelped, trying to get away from the Monstrous Nightmare, but Hookfang had it his way. Stormfly had the same idea pretty soon.

"Starlight, Meatlug wanted to speak to you,' she cooed, grabbing Starlight and taking her away.

"Hey!" Starlight whined. "I was talking to him!"

"You were scaring him," Stormfly scoffed. "You were supposed to be introducing yourself!"

"So you're not supposed to do that?" Starlight asked.

"No!" Stormfly told her. Hookfang was having a similar conversation with Toothless.

"What were you thinking, retracting your teeth?" Hookfang hissed. "You freaked her out!"

"I thought she'd be able to do that!" Toothless replied. "I figured it was a Night Fury thing!"

"You can't just make assumptions like that!" Hookfang told him. "What did you think of me when you first met me?"

"I thought you were a jerk and an idiot," Toothless replied.

"And what do you think of me now?" Hookfang asked.

"I think I was right the first time," Toothless answered. Hookfang hit his head against a wall with frustration.

Time to change tactics, I guess, he thought.

"Starlight, there you are!" Brenna sighed, accidentally walking in on Stormfly and Starlight's girl talk. "Come on, we have to meet the chief so we can properly live here."

"Oh, yeah!" Starlight remembered. "Right behind you, Brenna! Come on, Stormfly! Astrid will be there, too!" Starlight bounded over to Brenna, keeping at her side the entire way.

When the gang entered the Great Hall, everything seemed to stop as the people of Berk looked the new arrivals over. Whispers about a new Night Fury hit Brenna's ears like raindrops. Some people stopped and stared, looking away when Brenna looked at them. Some women scrutinized the hooded blue cloak and silver trimming that she wore that gave nothing away. The whispering stopped completely when Stoick the Vast strode over to meet them.

"Hiccup, you're back!" Stoick smiled, pulling his son in for a tight hug. "And who are the new arrivals?"

"This is Brenna Bloodsword and her dragon, Starlight," Hiccup introduced.

"Pleased to meet you, sir," Brenna said politely. Then, turning to Hiccup, she asked, "Hiccup, who is he? I have no idea."

"That's my father, the chief," Hiccup explained. Brenna gasped, and quickly kneeled on the floor.

"Brenna, it's fine. You don't have to kneel before the chief," Astrid corrected, secretly glad to show the new girl up. Brenna hurriedly stood.

"Sorry, Astrid. I didn't know. Where I came from, if you didn't kneel before the king, you'd be thrown into prison," Brenna told them.

"Well, you don't have to worry about that on Berk," Stoick told her. "Why do you want to live on Berk?"

"I want somewhere to stay that isn't an uninhabited island with only a dragon for company," Brenna answered nonchalantly. "I'm tired of traveling from one place to another and would like a place to put down some proper roots without being chased out because of my dragon."

"You went traveling?" Ruffnut stuttered. "Cool!"

"Brenna, you said you had a dragon," Stoick continued, changing the subject. "Where is she? Or is it a he?"

*Norse "The word you're looking for is she!" Starlight corrected. Loud gasps echoed through the whole of the Great Hall. Even the normally stoic Stoick had to take a step back with shock.

"Your dragon can talk? But how?" Stoick asked, incredulous.

"I'm not quite sure how. But she's been able to talk for as long as I've known her," Brenna answered honestly. "She must have learned how to talk from watching the other people we lived with."

"Then why haven't the other dragons learned how to talk?" a random Viking asked.

"I have no idea," Brenna said politely.

"Brenna, you may stay here as long as you like," Stoick decided. "Consider Berk to be your home."

"Thank you, sir," Brenna replied, beaming with unbridled joy. Astrid, in the background, was seething. Here was this crazy girl with her weird Night Fury, who trapped them all on a lonely, distant island, and now she'd have to see her face all the time! She had to keep this Brenna Bloodsword girl away from Hiccup in case she harmed him. But she had to pretend to be happy for her in the meantime.

"Hey, Brenna, want a tour of Berk?" Snotlout asked. "It looks beautiful from above."

"She could always come with me and discuss the plants she has," Fishlegs suggested. "I've got so many questions to ask."

"Leaving her with you? Are you trying to ensure death by boredom?" Tuffnut scoffed. "The new girl is coming with us. We have pranks to plan."

"The sooner she gets a chance to learn the ways of Loki, the better," Ruffnut grinned.

"You know, we've never dealt with a female Night Fury before, and definitely not a talking female Night Fury. Why don't we add her to the Book of Dragons?" Astrid chimed in. Everyone agreed.

"That's a great idea! There's so much more we have to learn about the Night Fury, and all the information we have is about Toothless," Hiccup chirped. "Gathering information from Starlight will make it so much more comprehensive."

Astrid exhaled deeply, getting rid of the breath she didn't know she was holding. Thank Thor Hiccup thought this was a good idea. Just showed that she was the one who knew him best.

"Then it's settled," Astrid decided. "Brenna, once we're out of the Great Hall, saddle up and follow me. Now." Surprised at Astrid's tone, Brenna followed her to a round stone arena that was bare except for a chart she didn't understand. This must be where they trained dragons, and where they'd learn about Starlight.

"Brenna, here is Berk's dragon training arena," Hiccup announced. "We're just going to have Starlight take a few tests so we can learn more about her."

"You're not going to hurt her, are you?" Brenna asked, scared for Starlight's sake.

"Of course not," Hiccup assured. "First, we measure her."

"Ooh, ooh! Can I do this part?" Fishlegs volunteered. "This is so exciting!"

"Go ahead," Brenna decided. Fishlegs hummed a happy time that annoyed Starlight as he measured her wingspan, then the length from her snout to the tip of her tail, all while taking plenty of notes.

"So?" Astrid asked, careful not to make either Starlight or Brenna suspicious of her behaviour. "What have you got?"

"She's slightly smaller than Toothless is, except for her wings which are much larger, her claws are thinner than Toothless' claws and she has no head frills," Fishlegs reported.

"Hey, are you finally done with all the boring stuff? Can we get to the part where stuff gets annihilated?" Snotlout interrupted.

"Yes, Snotlout, now we can test Starlight's firepower," Hiccup admitted. The twins cheered and raced to get targets set up. They occasionally bumped into each other, but they were so happy about stuff getting destroyed they didn't care. Eventually the targets were set up in a straight line, and everyone turned to Brenna and Starlight.

"Sister, you know what to do," Brenna smiled, snapping her fingers. Starlight grinned and fired at the targets, going from left to right. Each shot hit its mark and filled the arena with a thick black smoke that forced everyone to cover their mouths. Once the smoke cleared, everyone got a good look at the pyramids of dust that had once been used as targets. Everyone was impressed, dragons and humans alike.

"That is incredible," Hiccup smiled.

"This has got to be noted down in the Book of Dragons!" Fishlegs squealed.

"Awesome!" Snotlout and the twins cheered.

"Impressive," Astrid complimented.

"That was so powerful!" Stormfly squeaked.

"Again, again!" Barf and Belch encouraged.

"That's a lot of firepower for one dragon," Hookfang mused. "Looks like you've got competition, Toothless."

"Shut up, Hookfang," Toothless muttered.

"Thank you," Starlight nodded, almost beside herself with glee. Her friends thought she was cool!

"How long did you have to train for accuracy like this?" Hiccup asked.

"Years," Brenna answered simply.

"So that's how long we'd have to train Barf and Belch to be able to blow stuff up?" Ruffnut asked. Everyone groaned.

"But we'd need more Night Furies for that," Tuffnut disagreed.

"Well, we have a guy Night Fury and a girl Night Fury right here. They can have hatchlings and then you just have to train them to blow stuff up for you," Snotlout suggested.

Everyone glared at Snotlout. Toothless and Starlight's respective jaws dropped at the nerve of Snotlout to suggest it so openly. Hookfang was already teasing them about the idea. Both Night Furies turned away from each other with indignation and embarrassment.

"Yeah, that doesn't sound too bad. How hard can it be to deal with Night Fury hatchlings?" Hookfang laughed.

"It's not like the humans wouldn't like the idea," Barf chuckled.

"I bet they're already preparing a place for the hatchlings to stay and what their names will be and - oh, spike," Belch giggled. Eventually, both heads collapsed to the floor, laughing their tails off. Toothless and Starlight had had enough. Both of them aimed a plasma blast at the Zippleback, and both hit their mark. Toothless got Barf. Starlight got Belch.

"That was a bit much," Barf and Belch chorused before passing out. Toothless and Starlight looked at the unconscious Zippleback, then to each other.

"Wow, you're really good," both Night Furies commented, before looking away with shock.

I can't believe she thought I was good! Toothless thought. She's the one that's been practicing, not me!

Toothless thought I was good? Starlight wondered. So he was paying attention when I was shooting at those targets?

"Seriously? You still can't talk to each other?" Hookfang groaned. "I figured that would get you to start a conversation, or at least say hello!" Sighing, he stayed away from the Night Furies for the rest of the day. There goes that idea. I've got no choice but to seek help from an outside source.

That night, Hookfang snuck out of his pen to meet with Stormfly. They had a common goal and, as much as both of them hated to admit it, couldn't do it alone.

"So you came after all," Hookfang mused. "Not so independent, are you?"

"Don't get too smug, Hookfang," Stormfly growled. "If you could do it on your own, you would never have told me."

"Of course I would have told you!" Hookfang teased. "How would I have been able to resist rubbing it in your face?"

"Luckily, while you were dreaming of the impossible, I thought of a plan," Stormfly told him. "What we need to do is make them tell each other how much they like each other. Simple!"

"Well, your plan is simple, just not in the way you think it is," Hookfang answered. "Both Night Furies are too embarrassed to dare do something like that. We need to get them to stop thinking completely."

"That is a ridiculous plan!" Stormfly criticized.

"Can't be any worse than yours!" Hookfang insulted.

"Hey, you mind keeping it down?" Barf and Belch groaned sleepily. Both Hookfang and Stormfly froze with shock. They had been caught.

"What are you doing?" Hookfang hissed.

"We could ask you the same question," Meatlug replied quickly, hovering out of the shadows. "Who died and made you two matchmakers?"

"Matchmaker? What are you talking about?" Stormfly fibbed nervously.

"Don't lie to me. I heard you saying that you needed to make them tell each other how much they like each other. I suppose by "them" you meant Toothless and Starlight?" Meatlug interrogated.

"I - you - yep," Hookfang agreed.

"Good. I wanted to make sure that I heard correctly before I helped you," Meatlug told them. Gathering Hookfang, Stormfly, Barf and Belch, she told them her plan.

"Why didn't we get you to help us in the first place?" Hookfang marvelled.

"For once, I agree with you. She's way more useful than you are," Stormfly praised. Hookfang huffed and turned away from Stormfly, but even he had to admit that the blue Deadly Nadder had a point. Meatlug, unlike them, actually knew what she was talking about.

"So, what do we do?" Barf and Belch asked.

"Let me handle all the planning," Meatlug soothed. "Don't worry about a thing. Just go back to your stables and go to sleep."

"But-" Hookfang interrupted.

"Now!" Meatlug ordered. Sighing, the dragons obeyed.

This had better be good, Hookfang thought.
