As I was deep in thought I heard a rustling in the bushes.

I quickly wiped my tears and turned my head.

"Hello?" I sounded stuffy...great

There was no answer. I stood up and took a step fowards towards the sound. "Hello? Who's there?"

Suddenly, Snotlout came out of the bushes

"S-Snotlout? Why are you here?" I looked at the bush and pointed at it "How long have you been in there?"

He rubbed his neck awkwardly "Actually I've been here almost all night. I...heard you sing. It was really good."

I blushed, my heart was racing "Thanks. I don't think I'm that good."

I sat back down at the edge of the cliff and looked back into the calm ocean.

He came to the cliffside and sat down beside me.

"No! You are good...Also, I come here to think and..." He trailed off

"Have you been crying?" I asked innocently

"No! Men don't cry." He said as he looked away and crossed his arm

"Oh," I said disappointed "I was hoping someone I know was at least crying a little bit."

"Why?" He asked looking at me

I shrugged "So it doesn't feel like I'm alone...Feeling like this. Crying my face off."

There was some silence

"Why did you hide?" I asked Snotlout

He looked down "Oh...heh...because..." He muttered something

"Because you were crying? And you thought I would see?" I said softly

He hesitated "N--"

I side hugged him. I felt like we are good friends now and I needed to comfort him "It's okay to cry sometimes. Men can cry too."

We both looked at each other. I gave him a soft smile until I realized I was staring at him a second too long and so was he. I looked at the moon as I cleared my throat.

I slightly scooted away and so did he. I felt the awkwardness grow between us.

I tried to break the awkwardness so I sighed and looked at the moon.

"I promised (y/d/n) that we would have fun but instead I had to send (him/her) away."

A tear fell down my cheek and I quickly wiped it away. I softly sniffed and shook my head

"Um, so how long are you going to stay?" I asked looking at him, blushing.

He quickly looked away and stared at the moon. I noticed a blush lightly covering his cheeks.

"Just a bit longer." He whispered

This is when I realized how pretty his eyes were. They were so blue and shiny, they were beautiful. I wanted to tell him but I didn't want to embarrass myself.

I nodded "I think I'll stay here for a bit too." I also stared at the moon.

There was some more silence between us except the sounds of the insects around us and the wind blowing through the tree tops ever so slightly. After some time, Snotlout broke the silence.

"(Y/N)?" Snotlout called out to me as he looked at me

"I know. Don't tell anyone" I said laughing quietly as I gave him a quick glance and looked back at the beautiful moon.

"No, I mean yeah, but no. What I wanted to say was..." there was a pause and then I heard him sigh "...thank you." He softly spoke. I turned towards him with my mouth slightly opened. I saw his eyes and mouth were smiling.

I was really surprised but quickly recovered. I gave him a softly smiled "You're welcome Snotlout."

•●●●•

The next day I woke up. On the forest ground with the sun shining on my face.

'Guess I fell asleep.' I said to myself. I looked around and Snotlout was gone.

I sighed 'he could of at least woke me up.'

I walked out of the forest yawning and ran into the group. I rubbed one of my eyes.

"Hey! We are going to look for evidence on the beach. Uh, by the way, did you just...nevermind." Hiccup said hastily and went towards the beach.

"What?" I asked groggily

All my friends just shrugged at me and I just followed.

•●●●•

Once we got to the beach Hiccup said we were supposed to look for Zippleback feet and claws on a stick because Mildew had them and threw them in the ocean.

"Arrrrrrgggh! We've been here for hours and we haven't found anything!" Snotlout shouted

I gave him a 'what-are-you-talking-about' look

"We've been here for ten minutes! And you've done nothing than build that!" Hiccup said gesturing towards Snotlout's rock and stick...thing.

Snotlout pointed at his rock and stick creation "That is Snotlout Manor. And all I need now is a queen."

He said as he looked at Astrid.

To be honest it irked me for some reason.

"Ugh." Astrid groaned, it made me feel a bit better in a strange way.

For some reason, I wanted to get Snotlout back. I whispered to Tuffnut "Storm the castle!"

Tuffnut smiled at me and then smashed Snotlout's 'manor' "Aaaarrrrrrrgggh!" He yelled

Snotlout shouted, "What-What are you doing?!"

"Storming the castle," Tuffnut said

I sniggered. As much as I cared about Snotlout, it was funny.

Snotlout glared at me and I stuck my tongue out at him

"Come on, guys! I'm telling you, Mildew framed our dragons! I saw dragon feet in Mildew's house and I watched him throw them into the ocean." Hiccup said in annoyance

Fishlegs spoke "Don't mean to be Norbert the Negative, but the ocean is really, really vast. And our chances at finding those dragon feet are as good as Snotlout and Astrid--"

Astrid and I glared at Fishlegs.

Astrid said in a dangerous tone "Don't go there."

"Going nowhere." Fishlegs whimpered

I blinked at myself, surprised that I didn't like the sound of Snotlout and Astrid being together and then glared at Fishlegs for saying such a thing.

'What's wrong with me!?' I yelled in my head

Meanwhile, Astrid walked up to Hiccup "Look, Fishlegs is right. Even if Mildew did throw them in the ocean, they're not just gonna wash up on shore here."

Coincidentally, as if on cue Snotlout shouted, "I found it!"

Hiccup got excited "Great!" Then ran towards Snotlout but stopped to look at Astrid "Ehm... You were saying?"

Snotlout picked something up and turned around, it was a... bludgeon?

"I haven't seen this since I was a baby. You never forget your first bludgeon." And hit himself with it

I facepalmed myself and sighed "Oh, Thor."

Hiccup sighed "Just keep looking."

We have been looking for about almost an hour now.

"Hiccup, this is just getting sad now. There's nothing here!" I said as I was throwing sand around in frustration.

Hiccup sighed in defeat.

"Sorry, Hiccup," Astrid said as she placed a hand on his shoulder

•●●●•

We all left the beach and I announced to my friends that I was going to go collect some plants for Gothi.

She told me the other day she was running low on Yarrow.

As I was gathering some plants for a while I heard some rustling in the bushes. I looked up and it was Snotlout running towards me.

"(Y/N)! We need to go to the Great Hall, now!" He grabbed my hand and started to drag me

"What? Why? What's going on?" I was confused and worried

I ended up dropping all the plants I've collected.

"Alvin the Treacherous and the Outcasts are here." Snotlout said without looking back at me

"Alvin? Outcasts? I-I don't know who they are." I stammered

"Basically, they're bad people. They will kill people here on Berk so they can claim Berk as their own." Snotlout said as he led me out of the woods and to the Great Hall.

I started to panic. I don't know how to fight well. I'm only good with medicine! Besides, I'm useless without my dragon!

We both entered the Great Hall and everyone was there.

"This is no time to panic! That's what the Outcasts are counting on!" Stoick yelled

A Viking came up to him and said there were thirty men. Fully armed.

'Okay! Don't worry, don't worry we have weapons!'

Gobber walked up to Stoick "Without my weapons, we'll never be able to fight them head-on." He said in a worried tone

'Okay! Time to panic!'

"No weapons! And Outcasts on our shores! All thanks to your boy and his dragons!" Mildew said aggressively.

Astrid walked up to Stoick. "We can help fight! We've been trained as warriors."

'Except for me!'

Snotlout commented, "She may have been trained, but I was born a warrior."

Stoick gave a double-headed ax to Astrid "Take this. It was Alvin's. But go with the others. You can help protect them."

Hiccup went to get the dragons so they could help us. I was excited but contained it. I could see (y/d/n) again.

Meanwhile Astrid, the twins, Snotlout and I were going to protect the elders and children as they go to this cave to hide.

•●●●•

As we were going through the forest I realized something.

"Uh, guys? Where's Fishlegs?" I asked

They all looked at me

"I don't know but we can't go back and risk everyone getting caught," Astrid said

We kept on walking. We were close to the beach which meant we were close to the cave.

Suddenly, three huge Vikings surrounded us.

They made us stand in front of a pile of rocks and this Viking who had a big beard and a scar on his right cheek stood on top of the rocks and looked down at us.

"For those of you who haven't figured it out... I am the one and only Alvin the Treacherous. And let me be clear, that name was earned." He boasted

Tuffnut snickered " 'Alvin'? Pft... How did he earn that?"

Alvin added "Your leader has abandoned ya. But Stoick doesn't concern me. I'm not here for him. I want the Dragon Conqueror."

'Hiccup? I thought

I heard Mildew whisper to Astrid "Say goodbye to Hiccup." He then yelled at the Viking named Alvin to get his attention "Alvin!"

'He's going to tell who it is!' I gasped but luckily Astrid knocked him out. Luckily, Alvin was looking the other way and didn't see.

Astrid then grabbed the knocked out Mildew before he hit the ground.

Astrid looked up at Alvin "My grandfather's frail. He needs his nap."

Then dropped him when Alvin looked away

Alvin continued "Well like I said...tell me who the Dragon Conqueror is and you can all go free."

Snotlout whispered to me "I'm going to go up there and kick his butt!"

"Snotlout, I don't think--" before I could finish Snotlout pulled out his bludgeon

"Conqueror? Come on! I'll show Alvin who's a conqueror." He said out loud and ran up there but then he stopped when Alvin turned around. Snotlout then handed his bludgeon with both his hands "For you, sir."

Tuffnut and I both facepalmed. I got second-hand embarrassment but he tried nonetheless

Alvin pushed Snotlout out of the way "Well, you'd better check your trousers, son. I think you've soiled yourself."

Astrid got the ax, that Stoick gave her, ready and threw it towards Alvin, who had his back turned, but he caught it without even looking!

Alvin turned towards Astrid and grinned "Will you look at that! My old hatchet. I was wondering when I'd get that back."

One of the Vikings grabbed Astrid and placed her on the rock pile where Alvin was standing

Alvin smiled at her he was circling around her "Trying to kill Alvin the Treacherous? Ooh hoo! You're not as smart as you look. Tell me, who's your Dragon Conqueror, eh?"

Alvin stood behind Astrid and pulled her braid "Tell me!"

I growled. "Don't touch her, you creep!" I yelled. I don't know this Alvin the Treacherous guy. He sounded very scary when Snotlout first told me about him and the Outcasts and what they were going to do to us but my fears of him vanished when he pulled Astrid's hair.

Alvin looked at me and I stared back. I was about to go up there, no one messes with my friend! Alvin opened his mouth to say something but then...

"Leave her alone!" A familiar voice yelled from behind a rock in front of us. I looked around Alvin and it was Hiccup!

"Hiccup! What are you doing?" Astrid exclaimed

Hiccup came out behind a rock "I'm the Dragon Conqueror."

Alvin turned towards Hiccup and laughed "You? Stoick's little embarrassment?"

Hiccup stood his ground "I drove the dragons from Berk. Look around. You don't see any on this island, do you?"

Astrid caught on and turned around and looked at Alvin "I-It's true! All the dragons are afraid of him. He even conquered a Night Fury!"

Alvin let Astrid go and got in Hiccup's face "You're bluffing."

Hiccup wasn't backing down "Am I? Well, there's only one way to find out. Take me to Dragon Island."

•●●●•

Like Alvin promised he let us go. Then, Stoick found us.

Stoick was looking for Alvin but Astrid explained to him what had happened.

We sailed off to Dragon Island immediately. We were half way there and the sun was rising up.

"When we get there, we'll lay down cover fire with these catapults. Astrid, you get your dragons." Stoick said to Astrid.

"No! Save your cover fire for the others, sir. I can handle myself." Snotlout said cooly as he leaned against the lever to the catapult and triggered it.

Then the boulder went into the water with a huge splash. I grimaced.

"Oh, Snotlout." I groaned

Gobber looked unamused "I'll fire extra rounds to cover that one." He pointed at Snotlout

Tuffnut and Ruffnut walked up to Stoick. Tuffnut then punched his open palm "Sir, we'd like to personally volunteer to kick Alvin's butt." Tuffnut said aggressively.

Stoick replied "This isn't about Alvin. It's about Hiccup. We're here to bring him home."

We made it to Dragon Island, finally. Everyone but Astrid waited on the boat and just as planned Astrid brought back our dragons.

We all finally reunited with our dragons and hugged them.

-Start music here-

"(Y/d/n)! I missed you so much." I hugged (his/her) face

"Come on guys! We got to go help Hiccup!" Astrid said, who was already on Stormfly.

We all nodded and got on our dragons. It was kind of foggy but I saw a figure up ahead moving haphazardly.

It was Hiccup and I saw three Vikings with crossbows aiming at them and ready to shoot. I noticed Astrid was ahead of me.

Astrid didn't notice the crossbows and was more concentrated on Hiccup.

I shouted as loud as I can so Astrid could hear me.

"Astrid! The arrows! They're going to hit Hiccup and Toothless!" I pointed.

As if it was on cue they shot their crossbows. They were close to hitting them but Astrid got to them first and knocked them out of the air.

"Yes!" I cheered out loud

'That was a close one.' I thought

I flew closer towards them.

"Hiccup!" I heard Snotlout yelled out.

There was a boulder that almost hit him and Astrid but luckily they dodged it and there was another one that got catapulted and they also dodged it too.

I dodged the boulders that were now coming down. Avoiding them, trying to not get crushed.

We were now all flying together!

"We've got to get in closer!" Hiccup yelled.

We flew around the ships. Then our ship started to catapult Alvin's ship which forced Alvin to command the Outcasts to move offshore.

"Here's our chance! Come on!" Hiccup shouted

We all flew in following Hiccup's lead.

Hiccup was in the front while Astrid was flying close behind, but not too close, and I was right behind, followed by the others.

We flew around and in front of the boat, flying close to the front mast. Toothless flew past the boat quickly.

Suddenly, a boulders went though the first mast.

Stormfly sensed the bolder coming. She did a barrel roll to dodge the boulder and to make sure Astrid didn't get hit but Astrid wasn't holding on and fell onto the boat.

"Oh, no! Astrid!" I yelled. I flew up not wanting to be next and get hit.

Hiccup shouted "Hold your fire! He's got, Astrid!"

Hookfang then spewed fire into the water

"What are you doing?!" Hiccup asked bewildered

Snotlout looked at Hiccup "I heard you say 'fire'!"

"I said, 'Hold your fire!' Hiccup said to Snotlout

"See?! You said it again!" Snotlout said

"No, he's right!" Stoick shouted up at us.

"Thank you!" Snotlout shouted back

Stoick yelled at us "Fire again, Hiccup! All of you!"

Hiccup looked around and then got an idea

Hiccup commanded "Everyone! Fire into the water!"

We all started to fire around the ship creating a lot of steam.

We backed up while Hiccup got Astrid

Stoick jumped onto Alvin's ship to take care of Alvin. He walked up to Alvin and like a great Chief he is kicked his butt!

Stoick quickly jumped back to his ship "Now, Hiccup! Burn the ship!" He commanded

Hiccup yelled at all of us with determination "Here we go, guys! Hit'em with everything you've got!"

"Let's do this (y/d/n)!" I said ecstatically as I patted my dragon's head

(He/she) roared in approval

We all flew in. The Outcasts jumped out of their ship in a panic.

Hiccup shot a plasma blast

Astrid shot a magnesium blast

Snotlout shot a fire blast

I shot my sand blast, firey harden balls of sand, which did some awesome mini explosions.

The twins came in and gassed the ship

And finally, Fishlegs lava blasted

The ship exploded into a huge flame. Burning the ship down.

We turned and headed towards home cheering

As we were flying Astrid looked over at me with a smile "So, (Y/N). How did you like your first fight on a dragon?"

Everyone looked at me waiting for an answer

I couldn't help but smile "It was...it was amazing! There were some scary moments but it was really something!" I said grinning

Everyone laughed happily as we flew back home.

•●●●•

When we arrived at Berk we heard people cheering

We landed on the docks and walked upon the wooden platforms scaling up against the cliffside as the whole village comes out cheering and chanting 'dragons'.

I felt so happy that the village seems to be happy that we are back along with our dragons.

Oh, and of course I didn't forget to give Mildew a smug smile when I passed him.
