AS HICCUP LAID ON TOOTHLESS'S BACK, HE LET OUT A FRUSTRATED SIGH AS HE LOOKED AT THE SKY ABOVE HIM, BUT INSTEAD HE WAS MET WITH A PAIR OF DARK BLUE EYES.

"Your Highness."

"Princess."

"So. . ." she said, making him sit up straight so she could sit behind him. Only he laid himself against her, his head falling on her shoulder. "We have lots to talk about."

He let out a deep sigh.

"Or, we could wait."

"N-No, you're right," Hiccup muttered. "You're always right."

As she examined his face, she could tell he had matured over the years she was gone. They were not the same eighteen-year-old kids that had fallen in love.

"No, I'm not. It's been three years—"

"Two."

"N-No, three."

Hiccup straightened up and turned his body towards her.

"For me it's been three years."

His face blanked out. She'd been waiting for three years to have a conversation with him. He examined her suit and when his eyes trailed down to her wrist, he saw the bracelet he had given her long ago.

"Look, we don't have to get married right away," she told him. "I mean, I did just get back."

"H-How?"

She shrugged her shoulders and said, "I had a little help. Now, tell me, what's bothering you?"

Alora placed her head on his shoulder wanting to receive an answer. But that was soon interrupted when Alora heard Toothless growl. In the corner of her eye, she saw someone.

"Aw, come on Dad!" Hiccup exclaimed. "Really?!"

But when the couple turned they saw a person. A figure standing on top of a dragon. They wore a turquoise painted mask and armor that Alora had never seen before. They stared at them before disappearing underneath the clouds.

"Aly. . ."

Alora slowly stood up and started flying beside Toothless.

"No sudden moves," he said.

Then, the dragon popped up in front of them causing the three to skid to a stop. The person circled them and Alora used her x-ray vision to see who was inside. It was a woman. A woman whom Alora was not familiar with. The dragon stopped and Alora felt the wind from both sides. The dragons were flapping, making the clouds surround them.

As much as she had her guard up, Alora failed to notice a Nadder coming from behind. It picked up Hiccup and he screamed. Toothless started falling and Alora flew down to pick him up. She watched as he was tumbling down towards the ice. The ice broke and the Night Fury went under. A big splash was made when Alora went under with him. Then, she carried the Night Fury out and placed it on her back. He was tired and probably didn't have the strength to fly.
