Y/n gave a few flaps the next day, testing out her new wing. She looked towards Hiccup with another flutter of her wings. She leapt off the slightly elevated rock, gliding for a moment. Her grin was wide and joyous.

Of course, that was before falling in the lake. She huffed, glaring at the water before using her good and working wing to paddle towards land. Toothless gave out a guttural laugh, his eyes squinting. Y/n huffed, flicking water at him with her tail.

Toothless sneezed and pouted towards Y/n, making her and Hiccup laugh. He looked to his gear and thought about safety hazards.

...

"Oh, great." Said Hiccup, now stuck with Toothless. He, Y/n, and his dragon left into the village of Berk in the dead of night. He shoved the nosy Toothless and curious Y/n into a shed, laughing mervously at this new blonde who treated him rather meanly. Y/n growled lowly, causing Hiccup to laugh nervously yet again towards the mean girl he was speaking to. He was hoisted into the air as Toothless tugged at the rope... Which probably looked strange to the girl on the other side.

The door was flung open, but the shed was.. empty?? Astrid huffed and furrowed her brows.

...

"Alright, position 3- no 4!" He exclaimed as he and Y/n glided. Toothless and Y/n were tied to a spike in the ground, gliding along the strong breeze. Soon, the spike snapped, causing Hiccup and the other two to fall.

Y/n shrieked before landing in dragon nip. Toothless purred, rolling around wildly. Y/n also sighed in content, inhaling the sweet smell of dragon nip. She offered some to Hiccup.

"Nip?" She asked. Hiccup smiled and took it. "..Thanks."

...

"Alright, for real this time." Inhaled Hiccup. Y/n spread her wing and her prosthetic, Toothless spreading his tail fin and Hiccup adjusting the prosthetic. "1," Began Hiccup. "2," Continued Y/n. She fanned open her prosthetic that had a bar hook up to her good wing to that the prosthetic flapped at the same her real one did. As for the folding up and down, smaller rope was tied to a fingerless glove on her hand, tied on with even more ropes. She closed her fist, the ropes tightening, pulling, and opening her wing.

On the last number, Toothless joined in with a roar as they sprinted towards the cliff. Y/n leapt off, getting the hang to having to position her hand in different ways on her fingerless glove. She practiced it alone at night when Hiccup had to leave. Y/n weaved between sea stacks, slamming into Toothless a few times- as well as sea stacks.

Y/n apologized. Hiccup did, too- more than her, actually. Y/n laughed, continuing on with her journey. Her back, shoulder, and pectoral muscles got to work by flapping her wing and her core muscles was busy with her keeping up her plank position. She moved her fingers into an open palm, making her wings spread open completely. She and Toothless built up speed towards the sky.

"Aha! This is amazing!" Laughed Hiccup before his cheat sheet flew off.

"Wooohoo! Oh, no- cheat sheet!" He cried, reaching back. As he did, the ring keeping him on Toothless's saddle because unhooked from the seat. Y/n's eyes widened as her friends began to fall. She placed her hand into an open palm, allowing her to skydive after Hiccup and Toothless- who began to free fall from a dangerous height.

Hiccup was smacked into Toothless's tail and vice versa. "Han- Hang on! You need to angle yourself!" He called, getting dangerously close to thier deaths. Y/n snatched up Hiccup in her arms, flapping her good wing and prosthetic in order to speed up and literally throw Hiccup towards Toothless.

Hiccup shouted in surprise, but got onto Toothless nonetheless. Y/n focused, gritting her teeth as she fell alongside the other two. Hiccup exhaled sharply, threw away the cheat sheet, and went with his gut instinct. He and Toothless pulled up at the last second, Y/n opened her palm roughly, flying into the air. She opened her tail fins, a slight pained yell emitting from her throat as she felt her wing get yanked back aggressively in response to the sudden change in aerial direction.

Note to self: don't do that. She reminded herself. Hiccup and Y/n continued to rely purely on luck and instinct as they all raced through the sea stacks. Toothless and Y/n looked to each other, remembering thier friendly competitions. Y/n grinned widely, flapping her wings faster. Toothless also sped up, making Hiccup yell in surprise as they raced.

....

Toothless, acting as a backrest for Y/n and Hiccup, rested on the sandy beach. Y/n started a fire by holding a stick in her hands and lighting it aflame with her heated palms and tossing it in the pile. The hot flames quickly spread, making Y/n smile. She watched as Hiccup cooked thier fish the human way. She had offered to cook it faster for the both of them, but he refused and insisted that he wanted to do it for her.

Toothless regurgitated a fish head for Hiccup to eat. "Uhhh, I'm good, thanks." He declined. He lifted up one of the cooking fish to show Toothless he already had something to eat. Y/n laughed.

"You're strange, Hiccup." She complimented. Hiccup chuckled. "Er, thanks..?" He asked rather than said, unsure if it was a compliment or an insult in the first place. Suddenly, one of Toothless's fish stood up, making the dragon growl in surprise and caution. He huffed, seeing how a few Terrible Terrors began to rob him of his precious fish. Y/n watched as the Terrible Terrors ran around, some making it away with some food. Toothless even had to snatche one away from one of the Terrors. This seemed to tick off the smallest creature of the four because it began to charge up a fire ball in its open mouth

Toothless took it upon himself to make the first move and shot a tiny plasma ball into its mouth. Y/n laughed.

"Not so fireproof on the inside, huh?" Teased Hiccup after Toothless had shot the plasma inside of the Terrible Terror's mouth.

"How adorable." She commented nonchalantly, petting one of the Terrors that fell asleep on her lap. She sighed, lying down a little furthur and shutting her eyes for a nap. Hiccup looked towards her wing and Toothless's tail before feeling a pressure on his side. Hiccup tossed one of the Terrible Terror his fish before another laid next to him. He exhaled softly, setting a hesitant hand on its head.

"Everything we know about you guys..." He trailed off, recalling Gobber's words. "is wrong." He said, the truth finally soaking in his mind. It was truly remarkable, how Vikings refused to allow themselves to see this beauty simply because... dragons were different.
