(Astrid P.O.V)
It was finally the day of the dragon race. Everyone was was shaking in there boots from exitment. The course was all around the island including the village except the village and the the beaches. The baskets had flip kids over top with the pictures of the dragons. Toothless and Hiccups face paint was red. He had two lines on each cheek. It look really good on him. Ruffnuts face paint was a yellow line on her cheeks surrounded by a light green/blue. Tuffnuts face was a mess of black and yellow mixed together. Snook out had two red lines on his cheeks with yellow underneath a nd a red line going down on his chon and between his eyes. FishLegs had is official zinger man crest, an orange line under his chin with a half green circle finishing just under his eyes with a line of orange underneath. Heather had two light blue lines on her cheeks, much like Hiccup but she also had and dark purple in between the two lines and one going down her chin with a small dot in line with her eyebrows. My face paint went over my eyes. It was a cyan blue in the shape of a butterfly with two orange lines in the centre a small upside down triangle in orange on my chin with blue surrounding the bottom.(Like in HTTYD, Sorry for bad explanations.)the dragons had the same paint as us and the patterns were fairly similar. Me and the rest of the gang were at the arena, just talking and getting ready. Hiccup wasn't allowed to shapeshifter since he is faster than Toothless who is a full Night Fury, but Gothi said it was normal for a hybrid to be bigger in size,strength and speed than a full Night Fury. So he had to ride Toothless but none of them seemed to mind. Finally the horn was sounded. We all mounted and took off. We touched down in front of our nets.the lids were flipped back to your could see the large drawings of the dragon faces. I(thankfully)was standing next to Hiccup so I had time to admire him. It felt like I stared at him for hours but I was snapped back to reality when the countdown began.

Go! The horn blew and we all took off. Me and Snotlout were neck and neck. I saw a white sheep up ahead in a clearing. Unfortunately Snotlout saw it aswell. We were both heading straight towards the white ball of wool."I'M NOT TURNING BACK!" He shouted. "WELL NETHER AM I"I replied. We were meters away, but he quickly pulled away at the last minute and Stormfly grabbed the sheep in her claws. I laughed as we flew back to the nets. I heard the cheering become louder and louder as I got closer. Stormfly flew overhead and I dropped the sheep in, I noticed the twins had one sheep and hiccup already had 2 I could see heather had one as well but was coming with another. Then a Large black dragon was seen and flew above the nets. The dragon turned upside down and the rider dropped the sheep in."THAT LEAVES SNOLOUT WITH ZERO, THE TWINS AND FISHLEGS WITH ONE, HEATHER AND ASTRID WITH TWO AND HICCUP WOTH FOUR.!"Stoic boomed as the crowd cheered. Finnally aster a few minuted before the black sheep was released stoic shouted again."SNOTLOUT AND FISHLEGS HAVE THREE, THE TWINS HAVE FOUR, HEATHER AND ASTRID TRAIL WITH FIVE AND HICCUP IN THE LEAD WITH SIX!"Another minute later the horn sounded."Last Lap!"Gobber yelled. "The black sheep!"I shouted enthusiastic,y."C'mon Stormfly, we can still win this!"I encouraged her. The black sheep came onto view and Stronfly spread her claws out."Up,up,up!"I repeated. We were centimetres away when a large brown dragon came from under, taking the black sheep with it."FISHLEGS!"I shout and he laughed in return. Then all of a sudden Hookfang flew into the boulder class dragon and the sheep flying into the air"NO!"Both Snotlout and FishLegs yell.A green blur zones past taking the sheep before a certain Razorwhip could." Haha!"I heard ruff shout."No one can stop we now!"she yells in victory. Obviously not noticing the Night fairy behind them, and the rider in a standing/jumping position. I smirked, knowing what was coming next. "Except me Doofus, were on the same dragon!" Tuff shouted taking the other end of the sheep and they pulled it back and forth between them."Hey!Stop stealing my Glory!"Ruff replied. " Get them Hiccup!" I heard Stoic shout. Just then the young Night fury hybrid jumped onto the back of the zipple back running up and jumping in between it's head and grabbing the sheep. The rider landed safely on the Night Fury which flew at the bottom of the green dragon."Hey!"tuff shouted."Hiccup..." Ruff droned. The Night Fury zoomed towards the nets and there was an uproar from the crowd. Then, a monstrous nightmare appeared in front of the black beast. The rider, with a hammer in hand. He swung the weapon but Hiccup leant down and dived underneath him. The hammer ended up hitting poor FishLegs who was chasing the black beast. The Offspring flew above the nets, the rider jumped off and dunked the sheep onto the net then mounting onto the dragon again."AND HICCUP TAKES THE GAMES WITH 16 POINTS!"Stoic boomers while standing up the crowd cheers and claps as the rider stand on the dragon. Waving and leaning down to give multiple high fives to the crowd. Hiccup then jumps off Toothless and transformed mid-air. Both the Nigth furies fly up. Stomachs facing eachother. Once the reached a high climax the both roared and shot two plasma blast at the sky before splitting and diving back down. As the connected closer to the ground hiccup morphed back and landed directly onto the saddle, receiving another uproar from the crowd. I smiled.
