I took his hand and we flew into the sky. I assumed he wanted to take me home but he was flying the opposite way.

"Snotlout, this isn't the way to Astrid's house."

He looked over his shoulder to look at me

"I know. I just want to show you something." He said with a serious tone

We went higher and higher into the sky I started to get worried.

"Uhm, we are going pretty high don't you think?" I clutched onto him

"That's the point." He smirked.

I looked down to see how high we were and I felt a little dizzy so I looked away and noticed we were in the clouds.

Then, we flew through the clouds and now we were above them. In front of us was the moon and the many stars scattered across the night sky.

"Whoa." It took my breath away and suddenly all my fears washed away

As he flew I reached my hand down and touched the clouds underneath us. They just went through my hand.

Nothing like I thought it would feel.

"I like to appreciate the view from time to time." He said looking at the sky. He then turned his head

"Don't tell the others." he said seriously

I couldn't help but giggle at the silliness but agreed "Your secret is safe with me." I smiled

We flew for a few minutes in silence then I broke it.

"You know...I wish I had a dragon of my own," I said as I looked at the sky while the wind was blowing in my face, deep in thought of how wonderful it would feel to fly on my own dragon and having a strong bond with it.

Snotlout didn't say anything. It felt like he was just looking at me. I looked at him for a quick second right before he turned away. I blushed with embarrassment. I probably looked stupid.

•●●●•

Later he landed in front of Astrid's house.

"Thanks, Snotlout... for showing me that." I softly smiled

He stammered "A-anytime, (Y/n)" he returned an awkward smile. Then he turned to fly off but then stopped and looked at me, squinting at me "Remember don't tell anyone!"

I laughed out loud "I promise."

•●●●•

It's been a few days since that flight with Snotlout.

Today I woke up and headed towards the Dragon Academy with Astrid.

Before we started today's lesson Hiccup said something that shocked me.

"Today we are going to do something different. We are going to get (Y/N) her own dragon!"

Everyone looked at me. Smiling.

-Start music here-

"Wha--? Wait, now?" I said astounded

Hiccup walked up to me, "Yeah, you've been with us for a while now and I think you would be a great addition to the team."

"Wow, you really think so?" I asked blushing

Astrid came and put an arm around my shoulder

"We all think so." She smiled at me.

Hiccup lined up all the dragon's except for Toothless, obviously.

I looked at each one of them. I kept going back and forth between each dragon but I couldn't make up my mind.

'Man, how embarrassing' As I silently cringe

I went through each one

Hookfang lit himself up

Monstrous Nightmare, a very powerful dragon. Who can set itself on fire. Its mouth is so big it can swallow a Viking whole. It is highly aggressive, and will never run from a fight.

Stormfly raised her spines and roared

Deadly Nadder, it can suddenly raise the hundreds of sharp spines that stud their hides and tails and fling them with incredible accuracy.

Barf let out gas while Belch ignited it

Hideous Zippleback, it's unmistakable with its twin heads. The heads are distinct, with separate thoughts and different personalities. A Zippleback doesn't breath fire. One breathes gas and the other ignites it.

Meatlug was shaking her tail with a tongue out

Lastly, Gronckle, they're are one of the toughest dragons. They have gigantic heads, a short body, and round tails. They're pretty lazy and have been known to fall asleep while flying! A Gronckle can fly backwards, sideways, and even hover.

"Ugh, can you hurry up? We've been here for like four hours." Snotlout complained

I couldn't help it but feel abashed for being called out like that.

"I-It hasn't even been 10 minutes Snotlout," I said stuttering quickly glancing at him and back at the dragons in front of me.

"Anyways, I don't know which dragon I want. They're all good in their own way." I mumbled to myself

I looked at Hiccup

"Could you give me a day or two to figure it out?" I asked

He nodded his head smiling "Sure thing, (Y/N)."

•●●●•

The next day I woke earlier than usual. The sun wasn't even fully up yet.

I couldn't go back to sleep, thinking about dragons took a toll on me, so I decided to go out.

I remember I saw a nice spot on Berk and it was a very long beach.

I walked down to the beach and I sat down and looked off into the horizon.

It was weird being here, at Berk, but really fun. I made great friends and I think I'm starting to gain feelings for one specific person. I think it's just a temporary feeling. They don't notice so that's good.

I clutched my locket as I kept thinking and wondering about a lot of things. I was also thinking about what kind of dragon I wanted.

The sun started to come up higher and higher. I felt the nice warmth on my skin.

Then suddenly in the corner of my eye, I saw something moving in the sand. Ever so slightly

I turned my head and the sand started to move again. I was curious but also very scared. I cautiously got closer to it to see what this was. Then it popped up and growled at my face.

I fell backwards, it was a dragon that I have never seen before.

Nothing like what I have seen in The Book of Dragons, that I have been studying lately.

It sort of looked like Toothless except more brown, spikey, and way more scary looking.

I started to push myself away from the dragon keeping eye contact with it.

The dragon came up closer to me, teeth showing. I remember Hiccup doing the hand thing to calm dragons down.

"Hey, calm down, I won't hurt you! I want to be friends." I said voice shaking

I placed out my hand, trembling badly. I could hear my heart pounding. I kept making eye contact, afraid that it was going to rip my arm off.

It gradually started to calm down and it sniffed my hand.

It backed away slowly and gave a good look at me then jumped into the ocean.

I looked at where it jumped. I was in shock.

Did I just discover a new dragon species?

•●●●•

I ran towards the Dragon Academy.

I was excited to tell them the discovery I made. As I ran to the entrance everyone was already there ready to start.

"(Y/N), you're late! What's wrong?" Hiccup asked noticing I'm breathing hard

Everyone ran up to me waiting for an answer

"You guys...will not...believe this," I said out of breath.

Everyone got on their dragons as I rode on Stormfly with Astrid and headed towards the beach.

When we landed I jumped off of Stormfly running onto the beach.

"So you're telling us that you found a new dragon species?" Astrid asked said getting off of Stormfly

"Ooh! A new species! How exciting!" Fishlegs squealed as he was getting off of Meatlug

Everyone looked around the area

"Where is it?" Tuffnut asked

"Yeah, there's nothing here but sand," Ruffnut added as she kicked the sand

"It was here I swear! It went into the water. It should be around here somewhere. It can't stay underwater for that long. Can't it?" I said looking around the area.

"Are you sure? Maybe you just saw a ghost" Snotlout teased

Something started to rustle in the thick bushes behind us. We all turned around, all anticipating it was the new dragon.

But a sheep just popped out, bleated at us, and walked away.

Everyone turned to look at me, I can tell they were disappointed.

"Sorry (Y/N), but there isn't a new dragon here. You might have gotten confused with another dragon."

I was upset. Upset that they were not believing in me and was dismissing so easily!

"No! I didn't get confused. I know it was a new species. Just because I'm new to this dragon thing doesn't mean I don't know anything."

Hiccup tried to correct himself "(Y/N), that's not--"

Astrid placed a hand on his shoulder.

I turned around and looked at where the dragon dived in.

I sighed "I know what I saw."

They were silent and I assumed they all came to a silent agreement that they were going to leave me alone.

I heard them all turned around to get on their dragons.

I then started to notice something in the water. "Guys?" I called out still eyeing the water. Suddenly something shot up from the ocean.

Everything seemed like it was going in slow motion.

The water droplets glistening in the sun then everything felt like it went back to normal when this figure landed in front of me knocking me down.

It dropped a fish on my lap and then it started to shake itself off.

I looked behind me and everyone had wide eyes looking at me and the figure.

I looked at the figure and it was the dragon!

The dragon looked at me back. It tilted its head in curiosity

Does it remember me?

I lifted the fish off my lap as I stood up, slowly not losing eye contact.

I handed the fish to the dragon with both hands and it looked at me. Staring, almost as if it was waiting for me to do something but it gently and quickly took it off my hands. The dragon ate the fish in seconds.

I was about to reach out and touch the dragon but it saw my hand and started to walk towards me quickly showing it's teeth.

I kept my hand up absent-mindedly as I was slowly started to stumble backwards. "I won't hurt you...I promise." I whispered out.

It stopped as if it understood and it felt like we were standing there forever. Just staring into each other's souls.

I held my breath is it going to go away again? Will it attack?

The dragon came closer and slowly but surely.

Once it came close enough it sniffed my hand again and slowly pressed its snout into my palm as it closed its eyes.

I breathed out in relief and laughed. I turned around to see my friends who were still in shock.

"Guys? I think I just found my dragon." I said happily.
