I don't own anything in How to Train Your Dragon

Chapter 1: Date

Astrid's axe made a satisfying 'twop' sound as it embedded itself in the tree trunk. Astrid let out a shout of success, racing over to grab the axe. Behind her, Stormfly made an impressed chirp. Both her and Stormfly had been getting closer and closer, soon becoming inseparable. Patting her on the head, Astrid retrieved the axe.

"Want some target practice, girl?" she asked, which received a happy clicking sound. With deadly speed, the Nadder crouched and lifted its tail, shooting spikes at the tree.

"Nice aim, Stormfly!" Astrid encouraged. Stormfly raised her head proudly and puffed her chest out.

"Now, now don't get too cocky." Astrid laughed as the bird-like dragon deflated. Before Astrid could react, the Nadder was watching the skies, a black blur coming near them.

"Hiccup." Astrid said fondly as the skinny boy hopped off of his Night Fury. He gave her a smile before limping over to her.

"Last night, I had an idea." He said, looking like a child on Snoggletog. The Viking girl put a hand on his shoulder, amused at his behavior.

"What was the idea that made you think it was okay to come racing here not even fully dressed?" she couldn't hold back her laughter as he looked horrified. He was barefoot, and his tunic was inside-out.

"Oh gods oh gods oh gods." He repeated, looking at his state helplessly.

"All right, now. What was the idea?" Astrid finally stopped laughing. He brightened at this.

"I want to take you on a date!" his voice was almost shrill with nervousness. The girl didn't react at first, studying his face to see if he was being serious.

"Hiccup. What on Berk made you want to take me on a date?" she continued to stare. Hiccup grinned again.

"I realized that I haven't been very romantic to you, so I wanted to change that." A determined look found its way on his face. Astrid couldn't help but laugh at his strange proposition.

"Okay. Well what do you have planned?" as soon as the words left her mouth he jumped on Toothless.

"Just follow us!" he called as he took off. Astrid rolled her eyes before joining him in the air with Stormfly. The flight was long, which made Astrid even more curious as to where he was taking her. After what seemed like an hour, Hiccup landed, with Astrid following.

"Okay, it's just behind these bushes." He moved the foliage out of the way for her to cross. Thanking him, she stepped out into a clearing, surrounded by bodies of water and finally at the very end, a waterfall.

"W-what is this place?" she asked in awe, spinning around to get a full view.

"It's a place I found while flying with Toothless. Oh! And wait until you see what happens with the water!" He gave her a wink. She approached one of the small ponds, wondering what he was talking about. Looking back at Hiccup, he motioned for her to watch. A little head popped out of the water, then another. And another.

"Terrible Terrors!" she exclaimed in surprise. They were everywhere. Bathing in the water, riding down the waterfall, even in the trees.

"Pretty neat, huh?" he asked, watching the little heads continue to pop up. Before he could look back at Astrid, she pulled him close to her and gave him a hug.

"This is amazing." She said, before leaning forward to kiss him lightly on the nose. He sighed dreamily, following her to pet the little dragons.

Stormfly and Toothless just looked at each other and simultaneously made a noise that sounded like 'yuck.'

How was that? I hope it was good. Review and tell me what you think!
