now on with the story!

Hiccup (haha! Didn't see that one comming did ya?)

"Hey bud." I say, walking up to my horse, toothless. I hear a neigh and smile as I stroke his smooth pelt. I scratch him behind the ears and climb on, hooking my fake foot into the mechanics in the saddle. The mechanics connected to a muscle in his thigh that I had shot with an arrow. Wild horses used to be a problem at Berk, my hometown. They would run through the village destroying buildings and running over people. There were so many, it was crazy. The people in the village were crazy, they'd kill the horses, but when I shot this particular jet-black horse and shattered a whole bone, everything changed. To make a long story short, let's just say I befriended him, things happened but now everyone back on Berk has their own horse. I keep mine here though, in the stables my school and the neighbouring one shared, which wasn't always a good idea.

I mounted my horse and patted his mane, clicking a lever with my fake foot and his metal bone snapped into place. He neighed and we sped out of the stables, racing across the 6-acre lawn towards the forest three times the size.

"Woooohooo!" I yelled throwing my fist into the air and I sped across the grass. "Yeeeaaahh baby!"

Toothless neighed happily and kept over a fallen log, and slowing down immediately as we noticed something strange, I unmounted him and jped off the foot of the saddle, landing shortly on my feet.

We heard a break in the branches behind us and we both spun around to see snotlout, my loud and obnoxious cousin, barrel through in his dragon.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! HEEEEEELLLLPPPPPP!!!!" he screamed and his horses eyes widened and he went out of control. They barrelled towards a low branch and although his horse, hookfang, did, the rider did not, and the poor (note the sarcasm) boy smashed his head into a tree but held his ground. I winced at the sight as the pair took off into the clearing. I chuckled and shook my head. That pretty much summed up their relationship as horse and rider. I headed back into the clearing and raced toothless around a bit until I saw a horse come out of the stables I'd never see before. It was being pulled by a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes.

Astrid

"Astrid? What are you doing here?" I asked, getting off toothless.

"I need you to train this horse, she's beautiful! I was thinking you could do that hand thing."

"Uhhh..... S-sure."

I walked up to the horse and Astrid moved away. I stood a little more than reaching distance from the horse and held up my hand, looking into its narrowed eyes as it gave me a cold, hard glare. I shut my eyes and turned my head to the side, keeping my arm out. I bit my lip as I waited, eyes still tightly shut.

No more than five seconds later, I felt its warm muzzle on my hand, and my eyes opened. I smiled and looked at the horse, petting it.

"Astrid come here." I said, not breaking eye contact with the horse. Astrid approached me slowly and nervously. I grabbed her hand and I looked at her, one hand on the horses' muzzle.

She tried to pull away. "Hiccup!"

"No, gently. You'll scare her."

Astrid huffed and let me take her hand. It was warm, and I'm sure o blushed. I mean, its not everyday you get to hold your crushes hand.

Hiccup! Focus!

I gently guided her hand to the horse's snout and placed hers on its smooth blue-grey pelt and removed mine.

"Stormfly." Astrid said proudly.
"What?" I asked.
"Her name, its stormfly."
"How do you know?"
She rolled her eyes. "Because I just named her you dork!"

Astrid climbed onto the horse. "Thanks hiccup." Then she looked at me, like right into my eyes. "Say... You wanna race? I bet Stormfly's faster than toothless."

I whipped my head back to face her and raised an eyebrow, also mounting my horse. "Excuse me?"

"You heard me." She said, examining her nails as stormfly trotted away. "Toodle-doo!" She giggled and waved her perfect hand at me.

Was Astrid Hofferson flirting with me??? Oh Loki, please let it be so! I will welcome her with open arms and teach her the ways of the- okay I just let out my inner ruff and tuff.

I indicated to toothless to move forward and we stopped I front of the girl and her horse, face-to-face, and narrowed my eyes. "Okay, you asked for it. You, me, race, now."

Astrid smirked, knowing she'd won. She wanted to know this the sneaky, adorible, sweet, cute, beautiful, smart, lovely- wait where is this going.

We trotted to the edge of the clearing.

"First one back around wins. And NO CHEATING!" I said sternly.

Astrid fake pouted. "Awwww... You're no fun."

I ignored her. "OK on my count. Three-"

"Go!" Astrid shouted, taking off.

"Wait what? Hey! Astrid! No fair!" I complained, taking off after her. The beautiful tinkling sound of her amazing laugh filled the air. I sighed and looked at her, knowing she'd never fall for a guy like me. Even if I looked better and more mature now, I was still the same Hiccup with the nasal voice and the nervous smile.

But I wasn't going to let her win. "Let's go bud."

Toothless sped up until we were passing Astrid. "Oh I'm sorry! Faster horse, coming through!" I say, laughing.

I hear Astrid scream in protest.

I'm laughing until Astrid catches up. We're almost at the end. I can still win this. I look at Astrid. She's fully focused on the end.

I remember what she said before when I'd beaten snotlout in a race.
"I knew you were always such a nice loser, but whoever knew you could be such a bad winner. You're not the hiccup I know."

We interrupt this story with a brief message to all readers:

Continue!

I whisper into Toothless' ear and he slows down, only by a bit so she wouldn't suspect we did it on purpose.

We fall behind Astrid and she pulls ahead, winning the race. "Whohoo!" She yells, standing up in her saddle as she bows and waves to a croud that's not really there.

I smile and get off toothless, staring at her as she dismounts her horse and walks towards me. Toothless bounds off to play with storm fly. I just stare as she walks towards me. Im unable to move, mesmerized by her hair, her face, her hips, her... Everything.

"I know what you did."

I stare at her, startled. "Wha- I mean, I have no clue what you are talking about." I said unconvincingly.

She rolled her eyes. "You blew the race. You remembered what I said, didn't you?"
"I did nothing of the sort."
"Uh huh?"
"Ugh. OK, fine, I remembered what you said. But I did not blow the race on purpose."
"Come on hiccup, we both know that Toothless can go faster than Secretariat when he's not even going his fastest. You could've won that race, easy."
I crossed my arms, refusing to admit. "You were just the better racer Astrid."

"Fine say nothing, but you were the better racer out there, not me." And with that she punched me.

"Ow! What was that for!?"
"That was for losing the race on purpose and lying to me about it."

I looked at Toothless like, can you believe her? and shook my head in disbelief as I motioned to Astrid with my free hand. The other was rubbing my hurt arm.

Then she kissed me. On the cheek. But still. Astrid kissed me.

"That, was for everything else." And she whistled, mounted her horse and sped off. As soon as she was gone, I smiled.

"WHOOOOO HOOO!!! YAHAHA!!! OH MY GODS! YES! WHOO HOO SOME BODY PINCH ME IM DREAMING!"

Then I heard a deeper voice from behind me. "He dreams about Astrid kissing him? Sweet. I'm so going to tell her that!"

"Tuff! Snotlout! Ruff! Fishlegs! Get out of there. How long have you guys been here?"

"The whole time dude! Why would you cheat on your girlfriend?"

"Hiccup has a girlfriend? Now this is definitely now info I have missed out on." I heary room mate come up beside me on his horse, blizzard. He looked at my cousin. "Tell me, snot dude, who is this girlfriend?"

"I don't know her name, man. But damn! She's fucking hot!" (Sorry for the language, but there will be swearwords in this story, but I'll try to keep them to a minimum if possible.)

"Is she?" Jack asks, raising an eyebrow. "Is my baby all grown up now?"

I rolled my eyes. "I dont have a girlfriend guys."

"Sure you don't hiccup. She's only got the bluest eyes you'll every see, even bluer than yours Jack, and her hair kinda looks like yours too frost, but its not as ugly, like she takes some sorta care of it-"
"Hey!"
"Oh and her body- hooo damn! Hol-eeee chips. Now that's something I want! Oh and she- she's right there!"
This probably saved Snotlouts life as jack looked like he was about to murder my cousin right there and then.

Everyone turned to see Elsa ride down on a white horse. Her ponytail trailing behind her in the wind. I looked at jack to see he was blushing like crazy. I laughed and everyone looked at me but Jack, who was looking at Elsa.

"I'm not dating Elsa! She's my friend! If its its anyone who has a chrush on Elsa its- actually its a secret." I say, knowing how snotlout would get the word around quickly.

"Aww! No fair." Ruffnut whined.

"What's not fair?" I stiffened as I heard Astrid's voice from behind me as she walked up to her best friend.

"Oh hey Astrid! Hiccup won't tell us who likes elsa!"

"I'm pretty sure that's a secret between Hiccup and that person, so I'm not sure he should really share it. But if it was his secret, you could make him tell you." She said.

"Thank you Ast- wait what?"

"Hey Hic we should go if we're gonna help Elsa with her room." Jack suggested, mounting his horse once again.

"Yeah you're probably right."

"I'm always right!"

"Don't get full of yourself Frost."

As we rode away, I looked back to see Astrid smile at me and wave.

This could have easily just been the best day of my life.
