Winner Winner, Stormfly's Dinner

Pairing: Hiccup 'Horrendous’ Haddock III x fem!oc

Word count: 6.7k

Hiiii I was wondering if you could write a fic about the dragon races? I’ve seen your fic about the Lightfury stealing a dragon rider and really enjoyed it and I loved the dynamic the Lightfury had with your oc, Toothless and Hiccup even tho she doesn’t seem to like him too much. I was hoping you could incorporate that dynamic into an x reader fic? Also, you're free to use Stardust as the name of the Lightfury since I thought it was so cute. Since I know it probably wouldn’t fit into your original story I thought it might be easier to do it as something completely new with similar characters if that’s alright? Love your work and can’t wait to see more! From Anonymous

Hiii i was wondering if u could do something like a dragon racing fic with the sheep since I thought that might be fun. I’ve seen most people have requested Hiccup so I’m just going to request him as well since that’ll be fun and easy for you. So maybe like just segments where the reader is singled out with each rider so she can have some fun banter or moments with them and then maybe she gets the black sheep and wins the whole thing and hiccup is super proud of her <33333 From Anonymous

(Y/N): Your name

(H/C): Hair colour

(D/N): Dragon name

A/N:

A loud horn rang out as (Y/N) stepped into the old dragon training arena, her Lightfury–Stardust–following behind her. The noise signalled the nearing of the annual dragon race, letting those know to start making their way over soon. The stands were empty but the pit of the arena was full of dragon riders and their dragons, applying paint to the wings and heads of their dragons.

"Running a bit late now, are we?" Astrid called out as (Y/N) passed her. She wore a smug grin on her face, coloured orange and blue just like Stormfly behind her. Stormyfly perked up at the sight of (Y/N) and Stardust, trying to take a few steps towards the pair to greet them. At the sound of her talons scraping along the stone floor, Stardust's head snapped towards her, and a flash of teeth and a wrinkle of her nose deterred Stormfly from getting too much close. (Y/N) placed a hand on Stardust's head, lightly pushing it in the direction of where a mass of darkness sat patiently and with his chest puffed out slightly as its one-legged rider smeared paint across his head. At the sight of the other fury, Stardust went gracefully over without a second question, leaving (Y/N) to fend for herself.

"Hi, Stormfly. Looking good," (Y/N)'s voice rose as she ran her hands under the Deadly Nadder's chin, earning an elated hum from the beast. A bubble of joy rose from the pit of (Y/N)'s stomach to her chest, lighting her up until her soft laughter rang out around the arena. Astrid soon joined in on the laughter as she followed after her wayward dragon. "You ready for today, Astrid? Been feeding Stormyfly as much chicken as possible?"

At the mention of chicken, Stormfly lit up. Rising from (Y/N)'s grip and stomping her feet lightly in excitement. Astrid raised both her hands to try to calm the Deadly Nadder down, shooting (Y/N) a feigned annoyed glare. "We've definitely been getting some extra practice in, though I wouldn't say… you know what is needed to beat all these knuckleheads. What about you? Got any secret flights in with Stardust in preparation for today?"

(Y/N) ticked her head to the side, the corners of her lips lifting. Her body language showed indifference, but Astrid could tell something was going on that (Y/N) wasn't telling her. "Stardust and I will do just fine without any extra help. We always have a few tricks up our sleeves."

"We'll see about that once we get in the air," Astrid comments as she leads Stormfly back to her painting station. She dabbed a small sponge into the bowl filled with orange paint before lifting her arm to run it along Stormfly's outstretching wing, leaving a trail of paint behind that she would later go over to make the colour brighter and the lines steadier. "I took the liberty of setting up your station near Hiccup's. I hope the colours are to your liking."

"I'm sure whatever you picked out will make Stardust and I stand out amongst the rest of you," (Y/N) called over her shoulder with a laugh ringing through her words, choosing to ignore any undertones of teasing that she could find in Astrid's voice. (Y/N)'s eyes now landed on a new target. A target that she wouldn't be able to reach as quickly as she would have hoped to.

"(Y/N), I need your honest opinion–well, not too honest, or I might cry–about my battle paint!" Tuffnut called out as he saw the (H/C) haired girl walking past. As (Y/N) turned to take in the mix of colours on his face, she jumped back at the closeness of the boy. Tuffnutt had run up to her and was standing with his face pushed outwards with his eyes widened. On it was a yellow skull with the rest of his face blacked out. "Is it too much? Too little? I think I should add more paint but Ruff disagrees."

"It's, uh, very you," (Y/N) said slowly, her palms extended in front of her and faced up as she acknowledged the thought-out design. (Y/N) took half a second to think out her answer before she was closing a fist and lightly punching Tuffnut in the shoulder with it, "You know, I think you should go with your heart. If you think you should add more, then by all means, add more."

Tuffnut stared at her for a few seconds before he threw both hands into the air, "This is one of the many reasons you are my favourite," He exclaimed with a large grin overtaking his feature before he was spinning around and walked back towards his sister, arms still in the air. "You hear that, Ruff? (Y/N) thinks I'm brilliant!"

A smile displayed itself on (Y/N)'s face as she watched Tuffnut happily run back over to his paint station, his half of Barf and Belch looming over as he watched Tuffnut happily smear more paint on his face. The groan that rang out did little to wipe the smile off (Y/N)'s face as she turned to see Ruffnut glaring at her with her arms crossed. "Great, now I'm going to have to deal with the aftermath of all that."

"If it makes you feel any better Ruff, you get to dunk water on his head later. Maybe even repeatedly," (Y/N)'s words got an evil grin stretched across Ruffnut's face as she rubbed her two hands together, shooting her twin brother a sideways glance as she imagines the future that awaited for her.

(Y/N) didn't stick around for too much longer after that since she was losing time. Everyone else had finished painting at least themselves or their dragons and were now either going in for more details or working on whatever they hadn't done yet while she was still yet to even see the colour of her paint. Her hope for getting started didn't stay around for long as a short Viking called out to get her attention.

"Oi, (Y/N)," Snotlout yelled as he waved a large hand at her. Hookfang stood behind his dragon rider, sporting some red and yellow paint along his wings and a little bit on his jaw and cheeks. (Y/N) quickly walked over to greet the boy, not one for ignoring anyone. "You mind helping do my face? I would use the mirror normally, but the twins shattered it earlier while trying to call dibs on it."

"Are you sure you weren't in on the shattering of said mirror?" (Y/N) questioned with a grin as she came to a stop in front of Snotlout. The shorter boy's shoulders dropped as he tried to fight to string a sentence together to defend his honour. It only ended up causing a laugh to rise from (Y/N). "I was kidding, Snotlout. I totally believe it was just those two causing their normal ruckus."

"Good, because you know I would never stoop so low to join in or whatever it is those two get up to," Snotlout puffed out his chest as he said this, earning another huffed-out laugh from (Y/N) at his actions. "Now, about that face paint?"

The laughter slowly died down as the question was brought up for a second time. One of (Y/N)'s arms was raised as she wrapped it around the forearm of her other arm. Trying to let the boy off gently, she spoke softly, "I don't know, Snotlout. I haven't even started on Stardust or my own paint, so I don't think I have the time."

"It will only take a second, I promise," Snoutlout said as he tried to push the bowl of paint into (Y/N)'s hands.

But at the sound of a second horn (Y/N) shook her head and pushed the paint away from herself and back to Snoutlouts chest. "I'm sorry, Snoutlout, but I don't have time. How about if I finish myself and Stardust and still have time afterwards, I'll come back over and help y

The offer was a good one, and the best (Y/N) would be able to give as she could already hear the first group of Vikings arrive early for the race later. Snotlout seemed to ponder the offer, taking his time in weighing it out in his head before giving a single nod of his head. "But I want you coming straight back here once your done. No faffing around with Hiccup afterwards."

One of (Y/N)'s hands shot up to her forehead in a salute as she looked down at Snotlout. "Hearing you loud and clear, soldier."

(Y/N) could hear the huffing of Hookfang, along with some muttering from Snotlout, as she turned away from the flaming duo and tried, once more to get to her desired destination. This time she thought she'd finally be able to. She had gotten through nearly all the dragon riders, and Fishlegs wasn't one to socialise much before a big race, having some pre-race ritual he had to forgo. But as she started walking once more, a Gronckle-loving dragon rider attempted to get her attention.

"Ooh (Y/N)! (Y/N)," He called as he left Meatlug behind, the Gronckle happily snacking on some rocks. Fishlegs held a card in his hand as he made his way over to the (H/C) haired girl, a nervous grin on his face as he came over. (Y/N) came to a stop even though she was a little annoyed at being stopped for the fourth time. She tried to hide that annoyance as Fishlegs hadn't done anything wrong. "I stayed up late last night trying to finish this new card I made for Lightfury's. I thought we needed a newer version since we've found out so much more about Stardust and her species."

A smile fought its way onto (Y/N)'s face as she saw the carefully drawn Lightfury on the small trading card. (Y/N)'s eyes widened as she swore she could see every detail on the small picture that replicated her very own dragon. "Wow, Fishlegs, I don't know what to say. It looks amazing."

"This one's for you," Fishlegs quickly said, placing the card in (Y/N)'s hand before she could decline. "And before you say anything, I have a second one at home. I made this one just for you since I know you love everything and anything dragon related."

"Thanks, Fishlegs. I don't even know what to say," (Y/N) grinned as she stared at the small card before delicately placing it in a small pouch she had attached to her belt so it wouldn't get ruined while she was racing. As she thought about the race, she realised how much time she lost between getting to the arena late and having to talk to all the different dragon riders. "Good luck with the race, yeah?"

"I'll see you out there," Fishlegs concluded as they both turned away from each other.

This time, (Y/N) was finally able to get to where she needed to be.

"Hi, Hiccup," (Y/N) said as she trailed her fingers along the brunette's arm. The taller boy looked up at (Y/N), a soft smile on his face as he watched the girl dance around him. "And hi, Toothless. Red is such a good colour on you."

A gargling noise quickly erupted from Toothless' throat in his way of saying hello. Stardust was wrapped around the other dragon, head resting under his chin as she was careful not to smudge any of the red paint, mainly because she didn't want any of it getting onto her scales.

Before (Y/N) could take another step forward, she felt two arms wrap around her waist and pull her backwards. As she fell back into Hiccup's chest, a bubble of a laugh rose from her chest as she felt him pull her down to sit on his lap as he rested his head on her shoulder. At the action, Stardust let out a small growl. Her nose scrunched up as she threatened to take a step forward, the gentle coaxing from, Toothless stopping her from doing so.

“I was wondering when you were finally going to make your way over here,” Hiccup said as he rocked the both of them back, completely ignoring Stardust’s warning as he was already used to the untrusting behaviour on her part. He was sure he was slowly starting to get a breakthrough with the dragon. Having Toothless around certainly helped with that. “Once Stardust over there came bounding over, I knew it was only a matter of time before you would follow. I didn’t know it would take that long though.”

“All the other dragon riders seemed to want to keep me as far away and for as long as possible,” (Y/N) said as she wiggled out of Hiccups grips to the Viking's annoyance. She quickly turned around however and stood between his legs, forcing the Viking to look up at her from where he sat as he extended both of his arms so they could gently rest on her hips. “I’ve got a lot of time to make up for. So, if you could help me by painting Stardust with me, I’d appreciate it.”

At the mention of her name, Stardust stood and stalked a few steps away from Toothless, getting ready to be coated in paint. But when she heard her name in the same sentence as the Viking (Y/N) likes to keep around, her head shot around so she could watch Hiccup with a heated gaze.

“I’m not too sure Stardust likes the sound of that,” Hiccup said slowly. Rising from his seat, he followed after the shorter girl as she moved over to where three bowls of paint sat. Of course, there was the bowl of red paint that Hiccup had used for Toothless, but the other two bowls were left untouched.

“Nonsense. Stardust will stand still as you help me,” (Y/N) announced confidently as she picked up a bowl filled with light blue along with a sponge that sat near it. As she turned back around she sent Stardust a warning look, silently telling her to behave. “I want to do a sort of spiral along Stardust’s back where the colours intertwine with one another. But I don’t know what markings I want to do on her wings or face yet.”

Hiccup came up next to (Y/N), a step or two away from Stardust as he watched (Y/N) dip the sponge into the paint and slowly start to trail it along Stardust’s back. A soft purring began to emit from the Lightfury as (Y/N) worked her way down, her other hand gently trailing along with her. Hiccup took this as his chance to step up beside her now that she had gravitated further down Stardust’s body. At the sense of his presence, Stardust’s head whipped around while the rest of her body stayed eerily still.

“Easy girl,” Hiccup reassured gently as he raised a slightly shaking hand for Stardust to sniff. The dragon however scoffed a bunch of air out of her nose, the wind smacking against Hiccup’s hand as she turned away from him once more with a grumble. As if on cue, Toothless waddled over to them and stopped in front of Stardust to keep her busy while Hiccup worked.

When a hiccup got about halfway, (Y/N) left his side as she walked over to Stardust’s other side. Patting the white dragon on the edge of her wing, Stardust extended it for (Y/N)’s use. (Y/N) started to run the blue paint over the groves of Stardust's wings. As Hiccup walked over to help finish off the wing, he got a similar response to when he stepped up to her once more.

(Y/N) didn't pay too much mind to her, shushing her as Hiccup watched what she was doing. "I want this done on the other wing but in reversed colours. Also, can you fill these in with pink? And trace the back of her wing with it as well before you start on the other side with me?"

"Sure I can," Hiccup agreed, quickly doing what the (H/C) haired girl had asked him to. Again, (Y/N) was able to finish and move on to Stardust's other wing as Hiccup fought to catch up, trailing behind her as he copied her work. When Hiccup finished, he could see the girl crouched in front of Stardust's face while the dragon leant her face down low. Coming to a stop behind her, Hiccup saw the two bands of blue wrapped around Stardust's front legs while she now trailed some paint up her face. Looking at the close proximity between the two, Hiccup said, "I think you should finish Stardust off."

Once the final stroke of paint was drawn, (Y/N) turned back to smile at Hiccup. "Come on Hic, you know Stardust won't bite."

"That's the thing," Hiccup unwearily said as he cautiously stepped forward, an immediate response rising out of Stardust. (Y/N)'s head instantly whipped around at the noise emitting from her dragon. A light scowl was on her face, slowly making the rumbling calm down. "I'm not completely sure she won't."

(Y/N) took a second to think over what she was going to do before she reached a hand back for Hiccup to take, waiting patiently until she felt the steady weight of it. At the contact she pulled him forward, the light ring of his metal foot hitting against the stone floor as (Y/N) pulled him to crouch down next to her. Stardust's face twisted at the sight of the other dragon rider but tried to stand still as (Y/N) was still crouched in front of her.

Grabbing onto Hiccup's other hand, the one that had the bowl and sponge held in it, she pulled it forward before making another grab for his previous hand. Together they dipped the sponge in the paint before trailing it along Stardust's front legs, having two rings on each alternating leg. Since (Y/N) was doing most of the work, Stardust couldn't find it in herself to try and scare them off. She still however made her annoyance known as she glared at Hiccup, the boy only being able to give her a throaty chuckle in response.

As they moved onto Stardust's face, (Y/N)'s hold on Hiccup's hand loosened, giving him the chance to back away if he wanted. But the boy's hand stayed where it was, trying not to seem too keen to get closer. As the sponge dipped back into the paint before moving up to the Lightfury's face, Stardust slowly closed her eyes, allowing the paint to trail across her face. Hiccup could feel a smile slowly starting to etch across his face. Never before had he been able to get this close to the Lightfury with Stardust's willingness. Even if there wasn't much of it right now.

"All done," (Y/N) happily cheered as she pulled Hiccup's hand away from Stardust's face. The dragon's eyes instantly shot open, a smile starting to stretch across her face as she turned to find Toothless to show off the finished work. (Y/N) watched happily as the dragon bounced over to Toothless, spreading her wings as she pranced around Toothless, forcing him to turn to follow her as he showed one of his famous toothless smiles.

"Now it's time for something more important," Hiccup said as he stood. Balancing the paint in one hand, he pulled (Y/N) to her feet before tugging her slightly closer.

"What could be more important than painting Stardust?" (Y/N) questioned, smiling softly up at Hiccup as she waited to see what he might do.

"This," He said as he dipped his thumb into the pink paint and brought his hand up to (Y/N)'s cheek. He waited half a second before running his pink-coated thumb across her cheekbone, making sure he curled the paint up the higher he got. A laugh rang out of (Y/N) as she pinched close one of her eyes when Hiccup ran his thumb underneath it. Once he was done with that half of (Y/N)'s face he wiped his thumb into the palm of his hand, trying to get rid of as much of it as possible before he bent down to place his bowl down and pick up the one (Y/N) had put down earlier. "Nearly done."

"You have to let me do your paint after this," (Y/N) demanded with a grin, leaning forward as she bounced forward on her toes.

"Absolutely not." Hiccup was careful not to mess up the swirls he was painting onto the girl's face. "What I want is simple and I can do it myself. Plus, I know you're going to try and add something to the design if I don't keep a close eye on you."

"Alright," (Y/N) said as a hum in return. She stood still as she waited for Hiccup to finish. "Here, I'll take the paint back over."

At the offer, Hiccup handed the bowl of light blue over, watching as (Y/N) turned to get the pink bowl off the floor before walking over to the table it had originally rested on. Dipping a thumb into the blue paint, she let it coat her thumb before grabbing the bowl of red paint for Hiccup and bringing it over for him. "Thank you, (Y/N)."

"No problem, my love," (Y/N) said as the bowl was handed over. Hiccup's eyes flashed up at her, trying to hide a smile as he dipped his pointer and middle finger into the paint. While Hiccup was distracted by his own paint, (Y/N) reached her thumb up and smeared the blue paint she had gotten on it across her lips until they were completely covered in blue. Hiding her face by knocking her head down, (Y/N) circled Hiccup until she stood behind the dragon rider. Wrapping both of her arms around the taller boy's waist, she rested her chin on Hiccup's shoulder like he had done to her earlier. As Hiccup dipped his two fingers into the paint again so he could drag them along his face, (Y/N) lept forward and placed a small kiss on the boy's jaw.

"What was that for?" Hiccup asked as he lifted his hand up to draw on the paint, ignoring the sensation of the paint (Y/N) had left behind.

"Nothing," (Y/N) grinned, hiding it behind Hiccup's head as she moved to his other side before placing a longer, drawn-out kiss on his cheek. The blue paint wasn't as vibrate as the first kiss but still was a clear outline of her lips. "Am I not allowed to kiss my boyfriend?"

"I never said that," Hiccup said as he twisted in (Y/N)'s arms. His eyes locked on the colour of (Y/N)'s lips too late as he had already dived forward to catch her lips with his own. (Y/N) smiled at the sensation, keeping her arms tightly wrapped around Hiccup's midsection while the boy's brows pinched together. His tongue edged forward, waiting for (Y/N) to part her lips when the taste hit him quickly. Just as (Y/N) was about to grant him entrance, Hiccup pulled back, staring confusedly down at (Y/N)'s lips. "Why is there paint on your lips?"

"No reason," (Y/N) quickly said, feigning nonchalance. Maybe she spoke too quickly or should have been quicker since when she surged forward to try and leave another kiss mark on Hiccup's face, the boy planted both hands on (Y/N)'s shoulders, a groan leaving his now blue-coated lips as he hung his head onto (Y/N)'s shoulders.

"Please don't tell me your blue kisses are all over my face." (Y/N) didn't respond, causing another groan to rise from Hiccup as he lifted his head again, scowling lightly at the shorter girl when all she could do was smile. "You know what?"

"What?" (Y/N) asked, her brows furrowing at the lack of reaction from Hiccup. Once she saw Hiccup's thumb dip into his red paint, her eyes widened at what she knew was coming her way. Dropping her hands from Hiccup's side, she tried to wiggle back and out of his grip.

"No, you don't," Hiccup quickly exclaimed as the bowl of red paint dropped from his hand and spilled across the stone floor. Not to matter though since Hiccup's lips were already coated red. (Y/N) tried to fight Hiccup's arms off her as she backed away with a laugh. Hiccup's arms shot out and tightly secured themselves around (Y/N), trapping her arms to her side in the process. (Y/N) tried to lean back as far as possible but Hiccup only followed after her. Leaning up and forward, Hiccup placed a large kiss on (Y/N)'s forehead, marvelling at the red that was left behind. "There. Now we match."

(Y/N) pretended to be annoyed as she felt Hiccup's arms loosen around her. She wasn't doing a very good job at hiding her true emotions as a large smile blossomed across her face. At that moment, (Y/N) didn't have to worry about anything. Certainly not about the betting that was going on above her.

“My money’s on Snotlout,” Spitelout said as he stood neck to Stoick. Spitelout was looking down at his son as he pointed an all-knowing finger towards him.

“You sure he ain’t gonna throw it all away again?” Gobber asked from the other side of their chief as he scratched his beard with his fake wooden hand, looking down at Snotlout with a less then keen eye.

Spitelout flashed Gobber a glare, both of his arms crossed tightly over his chest as he said, “I’m sure he has it this time around.”

"What about you Stoick?" Gobber asked, turning Spitelout's glare away from him as they both turned their attention to the man sitting down. "Who have you got your eyes on for today's race?"

Stoick didn't even need to think about his answer as he brought a large hand to rub against his chin while saying with a bellowing voice, "My golds going towards my daughter-in-law."

"Oh? Hiccup's popped the big question?" Gobber asked he turned back to look at the pair still wrapped in each other's arms. He could see the splatter of paint they had been leaving on each other's faces, but Gobber was more than content to let them stay in their own little bubble for a bit longer.

Stoick's face pulled downwards at the question. In a grumbled-out response, he said, "Not yet."

"If that boy doesn't hurry up, she's going to do it for him," Spitelout stated, getting silent agreement from the Vikings he was conversing with."Now, back to business. Not putting your gold on Hiccup, eh?"

"Not today, no," Stoick shook his head. "(Y/N) and her dragon have been looking promising recently."

"We'll see if your judgement has grown clouded soon enough," Spitelout teased, grinning as he heard the final horn ring out. Some of the dragon riders got on their dragons as soon as possible, flying up to where they stood on their baskets, waiting for the race to begin. "Normal amount?"

"Hm? Sure," Stoick absentmindedly said as he stood from his seat and walked a few steps forward, gaining the silence from the crowded arena stands. The silence urged the remaining dragon riders to mount their dragons and get to their starting positions. "Vikings and dragon riders, today we join for the first race of the year. On the Gronckle we have Fishlegs, the Monstrous Nightmare being flown by Snotlout-"

Stoick was cut off by a loud cheer from Spitelout, the man yelling, "That's my boy!"

"Yes, thank you for that wonderful display Spitelout," Stoick deadpanned as he turned briefly to face the other Viking as he calmed himself down. "The twins, Ruffnut and Tuffnut of the Hideous Zippleback, Astrid on the Deadly Nadder, and my son of the Nightfury."

Stoick paused as he got to (Y/N)'s part, drawing the crowd into suspense. "And on the Lightfury we have my hopefully soon to be daughter in law, (Y/N)!"

(Y/N) turned and grinned at the Viking chief, her face light and full of joy as she laughed along with the other Vikings watching from the arena stands as Hiccup gave off a slightly sheepish smile. At his smile, Gobber banged his wooden hand on the arena's railing before pointing accusingly at Hiccup and saying, "We see you, Hiccup and we're all waitin' for that question to be answered."

"Moving on," Stoick yelled as Hiccup threw his hands in exasperation. "I hear now begin the first dragon race of the year! Release the sheep!"

Once the horn rang out, all six dragons took off. At first, it was a battle of speed as they all raced straight up before breaking away from each other so they could scower Berk for any of the painted sheep they needed to win this. There were twelve sheep that they needed to find before the black sheep worth ten points would be shot to the sky.

As (Y/N) guided Stardust a bit closer to the huts when she noticed another fury trailing behind her. Looking over her shoulder with a grin, she saw Hiccup flying not too far behind them, the paint from earlier still smeared across his face and lips. "Love that colour on you. Is it maroon?"

"Oh, laugh all you want," Hiccup waved her off as he leaned forward on Toothless's back a bit more, his hands tightening on the saddle as Toothless tried to speed up.

(Y/N)'s head quickly turned back around, copying Hiccup's movements as she leaned down to Stardust's ears. "Come on girl, it's time to disappear."

Stardust let out a soft mew at (Y/N)'s words. Spreading her wings wide, speeding up as much as possible in the time to heat up a plasma blast in her mouth. Without warning her wings shot inwards towards her body as she turned into a nosedive. As the shot rang out, (Y/N) buried herself as close to Stardust's body as possible. As the both of them dived through the blast, the same cloaking that took over Stardust danced across (Y/N) and the few white scales she had woven into her clothes.

"Whoo!" (Y/N) yelled as they vanished without a trace, the only lingering part of them being her voice. It took a while for (Y/N) to spot her first sheep, the fluffy animal trying to hide under the hut of some Viking. But when both her and Stardust's eyes landed on it, they changed paths without a thought and swooped down. Twisting her body so (Y/N) sat upside down on her back, Stardust flew upside down so (Y/N) could hang down and pick the sheep up from where it lay. Pulling the sheep to her chest, Stardust helped to right them up as they burst back into the sky.

To everyone else, it looked like a sheep had somehow been granted the ability to fly but those who truly knew could just see the ripple in the air as (Y/N) and Stardust tore through the air.

Taking a sharp turn, the two of them with their extra passenger dived back towards the training arena, careful to keep out of sight of any other dragon riders. As they swooped in, the crowd cheered as they faded back into view to drop the sheep into the Lightfury's basket. Taking a quick look at the other baskets, (Y/N) could see that Astrid already had two sheep while Hiccup had three, meaning there were only six more sheep to find before the black sheep was released.

Pulling back on Stardust's saddle, the whistle that commonly was handed to the Nightfury rang out, filling the air as she shot away from the arena. The two of them didn't have time to waste as Stardust looked out for any stray sheep while (Y/N) looked for any dragon riders in the air with sheep.

As her eyes landed on Berk's Nightfury, a grin spread across her face. "Stardust, we need to go after Toothless. Make sure he doesn't see us coming."

Stardust shot out another plasma shot, cloaking them as Toothless looked back as the noise echoed. The dragon's eyes narrowed as it searched for Stardust but eventually had to look away when nothing turned up. Hovering above him though was Stardust as (Y/N) began to climb from her back. (Y/N) kept a hand situated on the saddle as she got ready to drop. Her feet touched down on the leathery back of Toothless, a confused yelp escaping him as his head shot back once again. As the feeling began to climb along his back, he tried to hiss out a warning to Hiccup.

"I'll be taking that," (Y/N) yelled as she tore the sheep from Hiccup's hands before launching herself off and over Toothless's head. Toothless gargled as (Y/N) went falling off of him, diving through thin air as she waited for Stardust to catch her. She continued to fall for a few seconds before she saw a floating sheep hurtling towards her in the claws of Stardust as she faded back into existence once more. (Y/N) landed on Stardust's back harshly, her bones rattling as one of her hands unlatched from the sheep to grab onto Stardust as she turned to the arena, a Nightfury on her tail.

"I'm going to need that back, (Y/N)," Hiccup called as he tried to keep up with (Y/N) and her Lightfury. Adjusting his metal foot, Toothless's tail changed directions, giving them a gust of speed. The soft grunts of a Monstrous Nightmare behind him were slightly startling with how close Snotlout and Hookfang were to catch up to them. Stating his thoughts, Hiccup said, "We can't let that happen, bud."

Toothless made his agreement known as he flapped his wings once, shooting away from Snotlout as they grew closer to Stardust. But no matter what they seemed to do, Stardust had an impossible lead on them. So there was no stopping it when Hiccup watched as both sheep were dropped into the Lightfury's basket. Hiccup and her were now tied. Astrid still had two but the twins had been able to score themself a sheep of their own. Nine sheep found, three to go.

(Y/N) and Stardust shot up once more, hoping to make one final round before the black sheep could be found. They didn't bother to vanish again, shooting through the sky as they tried to find more sheep. It was when a commotion could be heard above them. Meatlug had a sheep clutched in her claws while Stormfly and Barf and Belch tried to herd the sheep towards them. Fishlegs was panicking from atop the Gronckle, a perfect opportunity for (Y/N) to steal it.

Barf and Belch slammed into the side of Meatug, making the Gronckke growl as the sheep was dropped from her to retrieve the fallen sheep already gone after it. Stormfly was close to grabbing it within her claws when Stardust shot forward, sweeping the sheep from the air as she spiraleD up. “You’re going to have to be quicker than that if you want to win this!”

"Stormfly fetch!" Astrid yelled and the excited growl that erupted from Stormfly was anything to go by, (Y/N) was going to be in trouble.

"Fly Stardust, fly," (Y/N) screeched as the Deadly Nadder's eyes locked onto the both of them. Stardust's head shook as she shot forward, taking sharp turns to try and lose Stormfly as they were chased down. (Y/N)'s eyes landed on the last two remaining sheep. Patting on Stardust's neck, the Lightfury's eyes also landed on where (Y/N) was looking. "This is going to be a close one."

Dropping down, Stardust got all of her claws ready, planning on holding one sheep in each pair. As they reached the sheep, Stadust's front claws were able to score the first sheep but as she started to lift, her black claws pointing out to latch onto the sheep's fur, something snatched it out from under her. "I think it's only fair that I get this one after what happened earlier."

It was Hiccup. Both Stardust and (Y/N) were left slightly dumbfounded as they followed after the Nightfury. The others had caught onto their catchings and were trailing after them, making a train of dragons and dragon riders. As Hiccup threw his sheep down, followed by (Y/N) and her two, a final horn rang out, signalling the black sheep as the scores rested five to (Y/N), Hiccup at four, Astrid at two and the twins at one. Whoever grabbed this sheep would seal the victory.

"It's just one more sheep, Stardust," (Y/N) whispered to her dragon, the two of them shooting away from the arena along with all the other dragon riders. (Y/N) could hear them also muttering encouragements to their dragons. "We've come far enough to win this all."

As she spoke, she heard the launch of the sheep, the subtle clank of the chains smacking against wood as the black sheep went flying. It was a fight of flames and talons as all eyes locked onto the black sheep. It was a certain Nightfury that was able to shoot forward and steal the sheep into his clutches. That's when the chase broke out again.

Toothless had an advantage with speed, taking a small lead as Stormfly and Stardust were close behind. Both dragons were trying to shoot forward in front of the other, the riders on their back yelling jeers at each other as their dragons did the work. It was only when Stardust was able to push herself forward in a burst of speed that Astrid let out a frustrated yell. "He's right there Stardust. It's now or never."

As her agreement Stardust flew under Toothless, getting close enough that (Y/N) could reach up and snatch the Blacksheep from his claws, earning a snap from the dragon. "Right, let's go."

As they lowered themselves even further, Stardust let out a roar as they flew. The arena could be seen coming up, crowds of Vikings hitting each other and jumping up to see who had the black sheep as they all rode in.

It didn't stop there though. As they began to dip into the arena, Snotlout came hurtling around from the other side of the arena, an axe in hand as he tried to swing it toward (Y/N)'s head. Stardust already acted as (Y/N) yelled, "Dive, dive, dive!"

Nearly falling from Stardust's back because of the lost grip she had, a not-very Viking-sounding squeak as she fought to grip onto Stardust's saddle. Stardust rumbled from below her as she knocked her tail up, bumping (Y/N) further up her saddle as she swung around the arena, weaving in and out from the different dragons as they tried to steal what was theirs.

As the black sheep made contact with the Lightfury's basket, the sheep getting squashed in with the other ones, a ripple broke out through the stadium as the race ended.

"Yes," (Y/N) yelled as she threw both her arms out, Stardust throwing her own call to the wind as they sailed across the arena perimeter, close enough to the stands that some of the Vikings could read out and congratulate her.

"That's my girl," (Y/N) heard the yell from Hiccup as he flew up next to her, the tips of Toothless and Stardust's wings overlapping. "I almost thought I'd be able to win one over you."

"That is where you must have gone wrong," (Y/N) called back before Stardust was steering her to Stoick's seat, the man waiting happily with a grumbling Spitelout not too far away from him. "Have I won you enough gold, Stoick?"

His booming laugh shot around. "You have this time."

"Placing bets again Dad?" Hiccup questioned as he fell from Toothless's saddle, climbing over to (Y/N) where he pulled her from Stardust's saddle and placed a kiss on the side of her head.

"Of course I was Hiccup," Stoick said as he watched the two. "Picked the right dragon as well."

Turning around to face Hiccup, (Y/N) grinned up at him. "You want to go on another race?"

Hiccup x ! Fem oc !

Previous Chapter, Next chapter

Evelynn stood behind the covering of the rocks Hiccup and his mother had emerged from, watching their interaction with curious eyes. She didn't think the boy she once knew, who was now a young man, would handle the situation of finally meeting her like he was now. She knew that he was still in shock, but he was more calm about it than she might've ever been.

Aurora purred gently beside her and, although she couldn't see her due to the invisibility she once again went under, Evelynn knew that she wanted to go meet the newcomer. She just couldn't find it in herself to interrupt the special moment between a long lost mother and her newly found son - it felt like she was intruding into something that she had no right of exploring. That, and she didn't want to be awkward.

Evelynn wasn't angry at Hiccup, per say, she was moreso..confused. She was sensible enough not to blame him for how she got in this place alongside Valka. She was the one to chase after him, knowing full well she didn't have to, and in return she got 'kidnapped' by the dragon she now called her best friend. Sure, he didn't slow down and wait for her but she figured it was best, considering the outcome of the situation.

Valka threw a couple of glances her way, trying to see if she would come out, all without Hiccup noticing - somehow. He was too consumed with fixing his eyes on his mother and the dragons around him that even Toothless hadn't noticed the two 'strangers' behind the rocks they were crouching behind. The night fury was rather indulged in the attention and care Valka was giving him, which she found amusing.

Evelynn's thoughts began to wander as she continued to watch the dragon Hiccup had came with be so vulnerable to the mother and son duo. If she remembered correctly, the last time Evelynn had seen Hiccup was when he had the mission to 'hunt down' a night fury. She sometimes thought he would actually kill it out of the desperation to be accepted, especially by his father. After a while of contemplating it, she was confident that he wouldn't do much harm to it. Something in her just knew Hiccup Horrendous Haddock wouldn't willingly do such a violent thing a viking back home would've done.

If her assumptions were correct as well, then the night fury who bathed in all of the attention the two gave them would be that very dragon Hiccup had tried to get rid of. They weren't an everyday species to encounter, so it had to be true. Evelynn rolled her eyes, questioning why she didn't just listen to their conversation. Valka began to stride towards the Bewilderbeast, seemingly forgetting that Evelynn was watching, before Toothless had finally come to his 'senses' and noticed her slightly shifted behind the rocks.

'Oh goodness..' Evelynn tried her best to push Aurora, who was no longer under her invisibility, further into a cleft in the rocks but it was no use when the dragon she crouched next to was glowing pure white. "Aurora! Get down!" She whispered to the best her voice could give her without yelling out. Her efforts were deemed quite useless as Toothless started skipping to them both, a gummy and curious smile on his face as he quickly stood at the entrance of the cave.

"You've got to be kidding me.." Evelynn silently groaned, rolling her eyes and gently pushing the night fury's nose back as he leaned over to sniff at her figure. "Go back! Back-" She grunted as the dragon hadn't moved an inch, his piercing green eyes staring directly into her blue ones. "No-no! Go away! Not right now, okay? Just -"

"Toothless? What're you doing, bud?" Hiccup's voice rang in Evelynn's ears, her hands suddenly going numb with worry as she hurriedly tried to pull Aurora with her in the direction where they had come from, only to hear a pair of footsteps arrive at the entrance where they stood. The sound of a prosthetic sounded one final time before it abruptly stopped. Evelynn knew she wouldn't be escaping anytime soon now.

"Uh-" Hiccup faltered in his steps, his attention now focused on the stranger who had their back turned to him, not moving a muscle. He noticed their hand on the back of the white dragon, whom he he had seen previously, allowing the pieces of an unsolved puzzle to begin to be put together in the slightest. "H-hey! You're the one from earlier! Is that your dragon-"

Hiccup was too caught up in the zeal of realization that he didn't have a chance to reach out for the Rider that had now bolted off, mounting their dragon and letting it take them away. He threw his hands up in the air in a shrugging motion as though to ask the heavens what just happened, for a moment not knowing what to do, before he ran after them as fast as he could. "Toothless! Come!" He heard his dragon grumble in confusion before he nudged the future chief on his saddle, hurrying after the run-away-stranger.

Valka hesitated beside CloudJumper, her hands slightly reaching out with concern and then flinching them back to her sides. "Ah.. what do you think?" She glanced at her dragon to see him tilt his head as if asking her what she meant. "Think they'll get along?" She sighed, gently rubbing his chin before setting her eyes back on the cave entrance where they had all ran into. She decided to give them a little extra time to sort out their.. reunion. "Do you think she'll even reveal who she is to him?"

CloudJumper cooed beside her, slightly shaking his head - whether it was a 'no' or an 'I don't know' was unsolved to Valka. She heaved another sigh as she turned to the Bewilderbeast, who slept soundly. "Looks like you'll have to wait a bit to meet him after all... Sorry."

---------------------------------------

Evelynn ducked her head at an upcoming rock that dangerously hung close in her range of the path she was taking. Her sweat was bothering her even more underneath the mask she wore but she couldn't find it in herself to take it off yet as Hiccup still raced after her. Aurora was just as much confused as she was earlier, having not seen her friend be so skittish before - even more than her. Evelynn knew her dragon felt that way, yet she couldn't explain her whole life story to her being that she was a dragon. She also was the one to take her away so Evelynn found herself silently laughing at the fact.

"W-wait! We're not trying to harm you! We just need to - AHH-" Hiccup quickly managed to duck underneath the rock she had dodged, not seeing it before the last second, due to the struggle they were already having trying to keep up with this stranger. Toothless wasn't exactly small either, so he stumbled a few times trying not to get stuck in between secret gaps in the floor. "Can you slow down at least? We-" He tightly directed Toothless to the right to avoid hitting another wall, "We aren't as familiar with this place as you are!"

"Then why don't you quit it and go back to your mother?" Evelynn spat behind her mask, swiftly glancing back at him before turning her head forward as Aurora skillfully leapt over a small ledge of rocks that jutted out from the ground. The light fury purred as Evelynn rubbed next to her ears in a silent form of praise for getting them out of there so far.

"Ah, so she speaks!" He recognized her voice to be feminine as he watched Toothless jump over the same small ledge, not as beautifully as the other dragon had but it was good enough. "That's the first step! Now do you mind telling me who you are-" His voice got caught in his throat as he barely stopped Toothless from running into another wall. It looked like they had a bit of climbing to do to reach the top of that ledge the stranger had just climbed over.

"You've got to be kidding me.." Hiccup groaned in annoyance as his eyes scanned the surroundings before Toothless started to grasp the edges of the ledge, failing to fully climb over with Hiccup on his saddle. Without exchanging much words, the night fury allowed Hiccup to hop over by himself before he heard the dragon make his way up by himself as they finally reached the other end on the ground. "Y'know.. it's quite rude to run away from someone who was in the middle of talking to you."

Evelynn rolled her eyes as she glanced back, watching him mount Toothless as quick as he could once more. "Well, pardon me, but I didn't ask to be talked to. So-" Her eyes turned forward again to see a narrow path that was pushed in by two walls on either side. Thankfully, the sides weren't as jagged as the previous ones. If anything, they were almost perfectly smooth, giving Evelynn an idea as she saw a small rock sticking out from on top of one of the walls. "Aurora, go! I'll come after." She peeked back at Hiccup and his dragon who were still a far ways off, "I think we still have some time anyway."

Aurora grumbled underneath her before Evelynn stood on her back as she leapt up to hook her staff around the rock while she watched her dragon let out a defiant roar before jumping off the side of the wall, darting through the narrow pathway with her wings tucked into her sides as much as possible. Evelynn felt pride swell up within her as the light fury safely made it to the other side before she swung herself through, managing to grab on to Aurora's tail as she continued to run.

Aurora got the 'signal' and lifted her up by her tail, settling her back on her original spot as Evelynn grinned behind her mask, thankful for the cooperation the two had. Hiccup, on the other hand, watched most of the scene play out with uncertainty for how Toothless would get through the small space. He knew that if the other dragon could do it, Toothless surely must be able to do the same.

"Think you can do the same thing, Toothless?" He tapped his dragon's neck as they watched the two strangers get farther away. Hiccup felt the rumbling of Toothless' growl as he prepared himself to jump through the narrow space and he found himself closing his eyes for a moment, not knowing how it'll play out. The night fury roared as he jumped, tucking his legs and wings in to the best of his abilities before they suddenly halted - midair.

Hiccup opened his eyes, glancing around their surroundings to see nothing but the narrow wall still present. He sighed, annoyance gripping him so much to the point that it was giving him a headache. "They're getting away, Toothless! Cmon, let me go through first and then you're just going to have to twist your way out of here, bud." The night fury growled in the same annoyance Hiccup had probably felt, making them both rolls their eyes, "I know, I know. I'm sorry! But we really got to work on your tight turns again. I'm serious!" He leapt off of Toothless, running towards the direction the other two strangers were running off to as he heard Toothless claw his way out.

Evelynn glanced back, noticing neither of them behind her so far. "Looks like we finally lost them, girl! Good job! You did such a good job! That's my girl." She affectionately rubbed Aurora's neck as the dragon purred beneath her, closing her eyes for a mere moment as Evelynn glanced back up. "Yeah! You're the best dragon I -" She quickly screamed when she noticed a split in the ground. It wasn't hard to soon figure out that it was a crack big enough to send Evelynn falling down in it and Aurora was too caught up in the neck rubs that she hadn't noticed the upcoming danger.

"Aurora! Jump!" The light fury beneath her quickly realized the situation and struggled to slow down, knowing that if she jumped at the speed she was currently running at, Evelynn would crash into another wall that was close to their landing. The dragon scurried against the rocky ground, her eyes widened in surprise as she came up with a last solution and flung Evelynn off before barely managing to roll and jump over the opening in the ground.

Evelynn screamed as she narrowly missed being accidentally crushed by Aurora, causing her arm to hit the wall next to them instead. She grunted in pain but tried her best to brush off the growing aching that was already making itself known as she limped to her dragon "C'mon, girl. We need to-"

The sound of an approaching night fury caught her attention and she froze where she stood, allowing herself to see Hiccup notice the sudden opening in the ground that she missed. "Woah! Toothless, jump!" Evelynn watched as the two landed much more better than she had and she couldn't help but grimace at the fact. It ticked her off even more when she saw the night fury proudly sit up taller, as though to impress them both with his accomplishment. Hiccup had taken the opportunity to get off Toothless, seeing that the stranger and her dragon were both down at the moment. He thought everything was now going to plan before he heard Toothless yelp in pain, causing Hiccup to slip off of his wing and fall on the ground.

"Toothless! What was that for!?" His eyes glanced at the dragon behind him, seeing that he had stepped on a sharp rock that hurt even something like him. "Are you serious?" Hiccup grumbled and began lifting himself up from the ground as he heard the stranger laugh at his distress.

Evelynn was too caught up in the adrenaline of the chase to even consider her next words as she spoke. "Well, you're still the same old kid I knew back then! Always making the silliest mistakes and-" Her laughter soon came to an end as she finally noticed her own mistake. "Ah, I mean-" She hurriedly shook Aurora, signaling for her to get up as the light fury grumbled but obeyed nonetheless. "Time to go..!" Evelynn began to lead her away, preparing to get on her dragon once more before Hiccup started to run after them both.

"Wait! What did you just say?" He continued to run after them both, causing her to try her best to get on top of Aurora. The pain in her arm, however, was not allowing her to fully mount her like she wanted and she nearly fell on the ground again if she had not clung to Aurora's neck, who had nudged her back on her feet.

Out of all the things that had happened today, Evelynn did not expect for Hiccup, out of all people, to suddenly jump towards her dragon and hold onto her face like some sort of animal. Aurora flinched and tried shaking him off but his grip was surprisingly strong enough to hold on as the light fury struggled to decide whether or not to seriously harm him. "Hey! What do you think you're doing-" Evelynn stomped next to Hiccup, anger starting to fill her as she watched him ignore the shock on both of their faces.

"Look, if you would just listen to me then-" Evelynn gave him no time finish his words as she forcefully grabbed his ear and pinched it enough to cause pain and she watched as he fell to the ground, grunting in agony. Aurora shook her head and sneezed, gazing at the scene in front of her unfold as Hiccup groaned, "Why would you do that?"

Evelynn scoffed. "That's for running after me when I didn't ask you to." She turned to her dragon, signaling with her head for her to do something to him. Aurora hesitated with cautious steps towards Hiccup who was struggling to get off his back before she barely nudged him back to Toothless, who was watching everything that was happening as he licked his 'injured' paw. Evelynn knew that Aurora didn't even use half of her strength to do what she did, but when Hiccup rolled back to his dragon she knew that it was enough to leave him annoyed. "And that's for throwing all of.." She gestured to his lean frame as she struggled to come up with the right words, "..This, on my dragon's face!"

"But you just pointed to all of me!" Hiccup wheezed out as Toothless helped him back on his feet, feeling a strange sense of familiarity. The stranger scoffed once more, shaking her head as she rubbed her dragon's head, ignoring his complaining.

"Exactly. Now if you would please excuse us, me and Aurora need to leave." Evelynn didn't entirely care at this point that she had spilled Aurora's name to Hiccup, knowing that as long as he didn't see her behind her mask she would be fine. "Thank you for nothing!" She grabbed onto the light fury's neck, preparing to run off once more, before she felt her other hand being tugged away. A shooting pain traveled throughout her arm as she realized she had been grabbed by the same arm that crashed into the wall earlier.

"Wait! Not until you tell me who you are." Hiccup tried to peek underneath her mask, seeing her blue eyes that were filled with, what looked like, anger and annoyance. He noticed her flinch slightly when he grabbed her hand and she pushed him away from her, reaching out for the staff that rested on the back of her 'armor' and held it in front of her, pointing directly at him.

"If you don't get away from me this instant, I'll make sure your mother will find you here unconscious-" Evelynn narrowed her eyes at Hiccup before Toothless protectively charged forward, wrapping his tail around him as he growled at them both. Evelynn found herself scoffing carelessly as she didn't back down and instead take a step forward. "Y'know, I can have your dragon on his back again begging for more scratches just like Valka did earlier."

Hiccup held his hand out to make Toothless take a step back, which he did begrudgingly, as it was his turn to narrow his eyes at her instead. "Wait, you were there when... that.. happened?" He watched as the stranger before him falter slightly in her confident stance, slightly chuckling at the hesitance that clouded her as she slowly let her staff fall away from his chest.

"I-I mean, what does it matter anyway? You just need to leave me alone now before I-" Evelynn didn't have a chance to step back as she caught Hiccup a second too late as he reached out and grabbed her mask, hauling it off her as he threw it to the ground before she could even think of taking it back.

"I'll be taking that, thank you." Hiccup dusted his hands off as if he accomplished a great task as his breath nearly got knocked out of him. The young woman stood, almost terrified, as the realization hit her that he now seen who she was. Hiccup felt as though the whole world around him was about to crash as he slightly fell back; if not for Toothless catching him he probably would've went straight to the ground again. "I-I thought I recognized that voice.."

Hiccup struggled to stay still with the sudden weakness of his legs that refused to let him stand on his own. Shock had pierced through his veins much more than he anticipated and it left him nearly breathless as he stood before the girl he presumed to be dead. "Evelynn..?"

He watched her stumble as well, needing to lean on her own dragon for help. She didn't mutter a single word to him, instead finding the ground more interesting to stare at as Hiccup's eyes continued to gaze at her. She had definitely grown. Physically, she was taller than the last time he remembered seeing her. He could tell she had grown in her maturity as well, despite the short 'conversation' they had so far. Her face had also matured but he remembered Evelynn enough to know that it was still her despite the five year age difference between her 15 year old self and the one that stood before him now.

"Well, a-are you going to at least say something!? I-" Hiccup motioned his hands towards her as if she were the crazy one, "I-I thought you were dead this whole time, Evelynn! You can't just-"

"What do you want me to say, Hiccup!? Oh, gee, sorry I got kidnapped by a dragon that's now my best friend. How is your day going by the way?" She shook her head again, finding enough strength to stand on her own as Aurora stared at her with concern. "Look, don't you have a mother to go to now? I mean, for goodness' sake, Hiccup! You should be with her right now! Did you even notice you left her to chase after a stranger that you shouldn't even be concerned about?" Evelynn noticed him flinch at her words as if finally noticing what he did. "Yeah, real mature, Hiccup-"

"But you're not a stranger.." He cut her off, sighing as he got up from relying on Toothless to stand as he slowly walked towards Evelynn, who began to step back and hold her staff close to her chest. "I found my mom and now I found you. C-could you at least try to be a little more understanding for a minute-"

"Well, I didn't ask for you to chase after me! You could've continued on with your reunion with your mother alone until you thought of it to be a good idea to run after-" Evelynn stumbled slightly over a small rock, catching herself as Hiccup continued to walk closer to her with nervous steps, "I didn't ask you to do all of this!"

Hiccup scoffed, still approaching her as she didn't notice the wall that was behind her. "I didn't either! I didn't ask for my mother to be hidden away in a giant secret dragon cave for 20 years! Nor did I ask for one of my closest friends to be carried off by a-" He halted in his tracks, slowly letting his green eyes find the ones of the dragon who stood a little next to Evelynn, watching them both. "Wait... a white dragon.. Evelynn, is this-?"

She watched as Hiccup gestured to Aurora, asking the question she didn't need to hear him physically speak. "Yes. That's her." She shakily breathed out, clutching onto her staff with more strength that caused her knuckles to turn white. "She's, uh, she's a light fury, Hiccup." Evelynn watched as he ran his hand through his auburn hair, eyes widening in pure bliss and shock.

"Y-you're kidding. It's really true?" Hiccup bit back an excited scream, stepping closer to his lost friend whom he had finally found. "I've been searching and searching for another night fury and then she suddenly comes out of nowhere, with my mother nonetheless, and you're here with her? I-" He was too busy throwing his arms around in the overwhelming emotions that took over him that he didn't notice Evelynn had finally backed into the wall she didn't know was there, making Hiccup stop in his tracks just two steps away from her.

She swallowed down any remaining fear, trying not to break down in tears in front of Hiccup, who had stopped talking just to stare at her - making her even more uncomfortable. She held her staff protectively in front of her, giving a silent warning to him not to come any closer. Aurora wasn't being much of any help as she was sitting down, plainly watching her distress.

Hiccup had taken the small opportunity to really look at her. Her eyes still held the same shade of blue he remembered. Her hair had grown out, cascading slightly down below her shoulders. Her face looked different but still carried the youthfulness she always had when they were 15. She was still - if not more - as beautiful as she was when he had last seen her. It put him in a slight daze as he ignored her empty threats and carefully pushed away her staff that held the remaining distance between them both.

Without fully thinking, Hiccup reached out for her arm and pulled her closer to his figure, quickly embracing her in a warm hug. He felt tears begin to prick at his eyes as he tried his best not to sob over her shoulder. The weight of everything had come crashing down on him once more today. Not only did he find his mother, who he thought of to be dead for his whole life, but he also discovered one of his closest friends, that had been carried away by a dragon he was searching for this whole time after he had made peace with Toothless, hiding away in the same place.

"Evelynn, you're back.."

The said girl remained stiff in his gentle, and yet, firm hold. She couldn't move. She didn't know what she should do. She too was overwhelmed by the emotions that threatened to show through the form of tears that welled up in her eyes. She forced herself not to cry, choosing instead to glance at the two dragons around them. Aurora silently stepped away to give them more 'space.' Toothless, on the other hand, purred with a curious gaze settled on the two, his tail slightly swaying in both directions.

And for the first time in a while, Evelynn had finally allowed some tears to fall - on Hiccup's shoulder nonetheless.
