I see the island and Toothless circles back around so I'm facing my team. "Okay, gang! Stay with your teammate and lock down your specific island. This dragon hunter is sneaky." Ivy nods along with Astrid and Fishlegs hovers in place beside Heather.

Given that Heather's time with us is currently a trial run she's moved into Astrid's hut and Ivy has moved back into mine. I'm happy to have her back and Toothless is glad to have Nightwing back.

"He comes in, transfers his cargo, and slips out under the cover of darkness. Very mysterious."

"Very boring. Can we get to it?" Snotlout exclaims, still as impatient as ever. Toothless turns back around and flies toward the island. We each split up to different sections of the island. "So, I need you to put in a good word for me, Hiccup."

I glance over at Snotlout in confusion. "What? With who, Astrid? Ivy? Or Heather?"

"Please. I'm so over Astrid. And Ivy for that matter. You can have her."

"Wow, thanks, I appreciate that," I say sarcastically, trying to keep from lecturing him about how women aren't objects that can be given or taken. "Anytime, I'm a giver. Listen, I know Heather's been dying to approach me but her fear's got her “scurred”."

"Yeah, I don't think Heather gets “scurred,” Snotlout. Besides, I'm not sure you're ready for a woman like Heather. She's far too, uh, sincere, honest, brave."

"I can fake honesty, I can fake sincerity, I can fake all those things."

"Oh, yeah, and by the way, she's smart, too." With that said Toothless climbs higher, leaving Snotlout behind. Snotlout and I are checking our part of the island when Astrid's distress signal lights up the sky. Snotlout and I share looks before heading in the signals direction.

Soon I spot a Dragon Hunter ship and we make a beeline for it along with the other Riders. Just before we can reach it they active a catapult and I gasp when I realize they just launched a dragon egg. The twins rush forward to catch it and so does Snotlout.

"We got it! We got it!"

"Back off, Twidiots. It's mine!"

"Back off, Snotlout!" Instead of catching it both their dragons collide and plummet towards the water. Fishlegs comes rushing in and Meatlug swings her tail, connecting with the egg and sending it flying toward Astrid, who then hits it toward our newest member.

"Heather!"

"Got it!" She reaches her hand up only for it to miss and roll down Windshear's back then her tail. "Huh! No!" I gasp as it tumbles over a cliff and run my fingers through my hair.

That's when Nightwing flies upward and I see Ivy has the egg. I sigh in relief as the other Riders cheer. "Well, that was fun. Hey, I've got an idea, how about we get this back to the Edge, safely."

"Couldn't agree more," I tell her after flying up to her with the others and she smiles. We fly back to the Edge and cross the bridges to the clubhouse. Fishlegs, Tuffnut, Ivy, and I start trying to figure out what kind of dragon the egg could be.

The other Riders go off and do what they need to. "That's definitely not a Changewing," I say looking down at the Book of Dragons, with Ivy standing beside me. "Thank Thor," Fishlegs says and Ivy makes a noise of agreement.

"And it's not the type of any of our dragons."

"Oh, can you imagine Meatlug with her very own egg? It would be so cute. Aww." He wraps his arms around Meatlug, rubbing her jaw. "I don't think it's in here, Fishlegs."
