You know, I'm really not that surprised that this story hasn't gotten very many reviews. I guess not a lot of people like the HTTYD stories very much unless it's just Hiccup who's involved, eh? Or does it have to do with the length of the chapter? I don't know? But either way, the poll for Yang's dragon partner is still up, so remember to vote. I'll leave the current results at the ending note so you know who's currently in the lead.

*I still don't own RWBY or How To Train Your Dragon!*

Missing Friend! - Shipwrecked!

The next day at Beacon Academy was a relatively quiet one. Being a Saturday, many of the students used their free time to do one of three things.

Relax, go into town to restock on supplies or go to the library to finish any incomplete assignments. Usually the last option.

Really, sleeping in is considered a brief reprieve from the mundane and taxing schedule that all students at Beacon have. Even more so, they're all just glad that on weekends they don't have to sit through any of Professor Port's boring and seemingly meaningless stories about his glory days as a Hunter. I say seemingly meaningless because it's possible there's a more legitimate reason he tells them, other than to hear himself talk.

But for Ruby Rose, she was anything BUT okay. She'd stayed up all night knowing that Yang had left Beacon, possibly forever. She had hoped desperately that her big sister was just going out to train late at night and then come right back. But deep in her heart, Ruby knew that it was a fool's dream.

Looking over to the bottom bunk of what was Yang and Blake's bunk bed, Ruby saw that Blake was still sleeping just like she knows that Weiss is still asleep. She quietly got out of bed and stumbled over to the closet to get some fresh clothes before hopping in the shower. The young redhead was hoping that the warm water might help her relax enough to think straight and maybe ease some of her worries revolving around Yang's disappearance.

...It didn't work…

She still couldn't shake the feeling of hurt and loneliness at the prospect of her only sister gone from Beacon… out there all alone! With nary a thing to eat or drink! And to top it all off, she left her Ember Celica gauntlets here before she left!

HOW WILL YANG FIGHT AGAINST THE GRIMM WITHOUT HER EMBER CELICA?!

Oh, the stress…!

She sighs as she wished her sister good luck… wherever she may be.

*With Yang…*

Yang had a big smile on her face as she sailed out on the open sea. Riding the waves of the ocean, she saw multitudes of sea dragons like the Scaldron and the mighty Thunderdrum, and even the occasional Sand Wraith! The sparkling glitters of the sea made Yang laugh as droplets of water splashed her in the face.

Oh, if only Ruby was here to see this. That would make her day even better than it already is!

Thinking back to her baby sister made Yang lose her smile. She misses her dear sister so very much, it made her heart ache just thinking about her! After spending so much time having practically raised her, Yang knew she felt more like Ruby's mother than her sister. She wondered how things would go if Summer hadn't died on that mission…

But she was forced to stop that train of thought when she heard trouble.

She looked behind her to see a giant wall of water rising up from behind! Thinking fast, Yang quickly put out the oars and tried rowing to make her boat move faster. But it was a futile endeavor. As the wave came crashing down, Yang could say only one thing.

"Oh, Odin! How could you?!"

And so, the wave crashed right on top of her, sinking her ship in one foul swoop!
