It has been a while, hasnt it? Like, 3 months.

But alas, i have a rather bad chapter to make up for my time away, but I promise you all this: I will finish this story, even if it is a crappy ending which leaves the possibility of a better sequal, I will finish it. And to go with my promise here, I added a cheesy bit by Paul on at the end of this fanfic which, by the way, is completely true for me.

So, thanks for your patiance and please review, good reviews = happy me = more updates cos I no people like this :-)

Thanks

When I arrived, I was greeted by the sight of none other than Hiccup's crush herself. Astrid. And wouldn't my luck have it, she had an axe with her, so if I were to try anything I would be cleaved in half by an inch of sharp metal. She was currently stood next to Hiccup – with Toothless thankfully hidden – shouting at him for answers.

Running over to the gap in the fence I quickly squeezed through it, throwing down the tent next to the horsebox and coughing to make my presence heard. Astrid immediately whirled around, drawing out her axe; I held my hands in the air in immediate surrender, her gaze faltering slightly at my actions.

'Who the hell are you?' she asked, staring at me straight in the eyes, weapon held at neck level.

'Errm, I'm Paul, and I'd really appreciate it if you would not point that at my neck Astrid, it's really not the co-'

'How do you know my name?'

'The same way I know Hiccup's name, Toothless's name, and part of your life. I'd be happy to tell you but first I'd like you to lower the axe – ask Hiccup if I'm trustworthy or not, I have told him everything and it sort of makes sense.' I must have had a way with words lately, after calming Toothless and Astrid just by talking to them, except for one small mistake. I had mentioned Toothless, thinking Astrid knew about him already, where as she didn't as picked up on this seconds after I had finished.

'Who's Toothless?' she asked, her axe rising back up to my eye level.

'Err, I'd ask Hiccup about that; he knows Toothless a bit better than me but ill warn you now, you'll never know if you don't lower this dam axe!' I semi-shouted, Hiccup sending me a rather pathetic death glare at the mention of asking him. Turning back around on the spot, Astrid asked Hiccup who Toothless was, just to be met by a few stutters.

'Spit it out Hiccup! Tell me now or so help me I'll –'she was cut off by a deep growl residing in the other side of the bush behind us. Toothless, who was perfectly hidden by his pure black scales behind the dense shrubs immediately burnt them away with his fire, pouncing on Astrid and pinning her to the ground, dropping her axe for me to pick up. Hiccup was unusually quick to respond, instantly diving to Astrid placing himself between her and Toothless's mouth and claws – considering they had only met (in their world) two days ago, the amount of trust Hiccup had in the dragon was blatantly obvious. At this, Toothless stopped his growling, turning his head to look at Hiccup with slightly expanding pupils, curious as to why he doesn't want the Night Fury to attack the person threatening him.

'STOP TOOTHLESS! That's Astrid, she's a friend. Come on Toothless, get off her' he said, slowly coaxing the dragon from the shaking girl (note to self, Astrid was incredibly scared of Toothless – use this in future). As soon as he was clear, Astrid bolted to the place her axe was finding it now in my hand. Once I had made it clear that there was no way I was going to give it to her, Astrid stopped, slowly rotating her head to look at Hiccup.

'A-a-a-Astrid, look, he's not dangerous ' stuttered Hiccup, patting the head of a rather ticked-off looking Toothless.

'Hiccup? What in hel's name are you doing patting a DRAGON? She yelled, causing Toothless to lower himself down slightly. After several failed attempts by Hiccup to get him the Night Fury to calm down, I decided once again to take a page out of his own book. Walking over to Toothless's head, he eyed me cautiously for a second, but when I started scratching his neck he fell into another light coma, giving us fifteen minutes or so to talk.

'Right, Astrid, listen. Hiccup here did manage to shoot down a Night Fury, but because you and everyone else in the village think of him as useless, you all missed your chance to find one. After not having the heart to kill him, Hiccup cut the ropes freeing Toothless here, and after Toothless pounced on him and freed him in return, he flew away. Because Hiccup pulled off Toothless's tail fin, he crashed into a valley and couldn't get out, so Hiccup made friends with him in a really –forgive me- heart warming way, then after making him a prosthetic, they flew through a blue portal of some kind. Then I found them and told them about my world, compared to yours.'

All I got in return was a blank stare, which to be fair, I should have been expecting.

'He's telling the truth Astrid' agreed Hiccup, walking to her front and staring at her straight in the eye. 'I did manage to actually shoot down Toothless and we have become friends, hence why he hasn't killed me yet.' After another awkward silence, the girl managed to speak.

'So... You let the only Night Fury any Viking has ever taken down go free, without killing it?'

'Yes. I know it's not what a Viking should have done but I think we've agreed by now I'm not a Viking. I'm a dragon rider.' Then, to top off all the events of the past few minutes, the Great Astrid Hofferson fainted, earning a small snicker from Hiccup.

'What should we do with her now?' I asked Hiccup, who was trying to wake the slumbering dragon.

'I really have no idea – she has never fainted before and when she wakes up she will want to know how to get back – I want to know how to get back, but I have no idea. I just don't know'. After a few more nudges and scratches to Toothless's head, the mighty, scary, formidably Night Fury stood up and blinked it's wide eyes slowly, looking as adorable as a common housecat.

'I can't say I do either, but I'll try help you get home. I promise you will get home Hiccup.'

'What's a promise to you Paul?'

'Let's just say, apart from when I was too young to remember, I haven't broken one since.'

'Really?'

'Yes'.

I shall update this again, I swear it on Toothless's blood - the blood of a night fury. No pun intended. If you didn't get that joke, see my other fanfic
