A different view

The sheep

*7 Months Later*

(Hiccup P.O.V)
Things had never been better since dragon training started. Now, everyone on Berk had a dragon of there own. Me,the twins, Snolout, Heather, FishLegs and Astrid became the riders of Berk. Astrid became more tolerated in Berk. She was practically part of the group now and I was beginning to notice her more. I could see she never received any scowls or insults from the village anymore and people would actually smile and greet her with kindness. Her and her Nadder Stormfly were the best in the deadly Nadder riders.
I on the other hand had become for.....fluent in transforming. I had gotten and pitch black, yet comfy saddle for Toothless in case something happened and I could ride him. The saddle was only noticeable if you looked very very close and squinted your eyes. My dad had gotten a rumble horn he found injured in the woods. His names Skullcrusher, a tracking dragon. He suited my dad perfectly. We even managed to get Spitlout on a dragon. A monstrous nightmare named Destroyer. Gothi had all the terrible terrors on Berk, and i mean all of them.
Right now, me and the gang were flying around Berk (Im on Toothlesses back) when we heard the nasally voice of Sven the silent, who wasn't so silent anymore. His voice made the toughest Viking cringe. We looked down to see Sven chasing a large flock of sheep, waving his arms in the air and yelling at the top of his lungs."M'A SHEEP, SOMEBODY GET M'A SHEEP. OH NO, NOT M'A PRECIOUS BLACK SHEEP!!" I didn't know what I should be more worried about. Sven's new found voice or the fact that I could still hear his voice. "Hey maybe we should help him so he'll stop yelling" FishLegs suggested shyly. They all nodded in agreement and turned there heads towards me. I sighed."Fine...but please"I directed my attention to the twins."Don't set the sheep on fire."I could see the look of disappointment in the faces but they nodded anyway."Okay, Snolout, you and the twins go to the south side and gather any sheep there, Fishlegs, you and heather go to the west side, Astrid you go east and I'll go north. meet back here once you think it's all clear."The nodded and quickly flew off. Me and Toothless zoomed through the trees and into a clearing. I saw 2 white blobs scattering off at the Night furies arrival. He swooped down and grabbed both the sheep in his claws. We turned towards the edge of a cliff and saw 2 more sheep. One was pitch black, much like Toothless. He turned up side down so my arms were hanging down above me head. I grabbed both the sheep and Toothless, being the show off he is. Twirls a few times in the air before balancing out."okay bud, let's head back"I said once we had sweeped over the area.

(Astrid P.O.V)
Me and Stormfly zoomed past the trees, picking up a strong breeze. I saw 3 sheep scattered all across a RockyMountain/Hill. Stormfly flew around and up the cliff grabbing the first two in her claws. She slightly tipped to the side so I could reach out and grab the third one. Once I had we flew above the tips of the trees before heading back to Silent Sven's farm, but I guess it's just Sven's farm now.
As we flew I couldn't help but think.....about Hiccup, per usuall. A lot had changed in the past 7 months. I was no longer considered the 'village runt' or 'useless'. I hung out with Hiccup hand the gang now, I talked to them and they answered without a scowl, willingly. This also meant I got to spend more time with Hiccup. I sighed happily. Me, Heather and Ruffnut were practically best friends. Snotlout didn't tease we anymore, nether did Tuffnut and FishLegs talks to me. No one in the village glares at me or gives me the most idiotic nicknames. But the best part was, my parent were actually proud of me.
My mind went back to the auburn haired boy with the mesmerising forest green eyes. A few months after we had made peace with the dragons, Hiccup offered to teach me how to fight. I, off course, said yes. A bit to enthusiastically for my liking but Hiccup didn't seem to notice. Thank Thor. My weapon if choice was a double sided axe. The reason I chose it was because I wanted to be like my dad. His weapon of choice was a one sided axe. My mother preferred knives and her fists. A few days after, Hiccup had gavin me a small yet suitable sized axe. I was a bit reluctant to pick it up at first, in fear of embarrassing myself. But to my suprise, when I picked it up it was very light in my small hands. I threw it from one hand to another, getting use to the grip. He said it was made out of gronkle iron. The lightest, yet strongest metal known. It was gronkle lava cooled down. After explaining he Laid a normal, metal sword on a boulder in front of me and said to hit it. I looked at him in disbelief but did it anyway. As soon as the gronkle iron came in contact with the metal. It snapped in half. I started between the broken sword and Hiccup in astonishment. He simply smiled at my action and I blushed a dark scarlet.
I was snapped back to reality when Stormfly squawked and slightly shifted. "Down girl"I whispered, lightly patting her side seeing Sven's farm up ahead, my thoughts still on the chiefs son.

Once I got to Sven's farm I saw the gang was already there. The twins and FishLegs had 2 white sheep. Astrid and heather had 3 and Snotlout had 1. I landed and dropped all 4 of my sheep and they scampered away."Oh, of course Hiccup has the most sheep AND the black sheep! Unbelievable!"Snoulout yelled before leaning in Hookfang with his arms crossed over his chest, mumbling. I raised and eyebrow at Fishlegs. "Apparently there was a competition,whoever came back with the most sheep, you won"FishLegs explained with a dull tone." Must everything be a competition?"I asked while jumping off Toothless and giving a scratch behind the ears. He crooned and nuzzled into my side."ooooh, that's the spot"he said dreamily. I laughed at his action and slightly pushed his head away."Yes"Snotlout, the twins, heather and Astrid said in unison. I was surprised when Astrid agreed. I shrugged, not really wanting to get into a conversation."OHHH!, I have an idea!"FishLegs said excitedly.'to late' I thought to myself."What Legs?"Heather said, obviously bored."What if we turn this into a race.?"By now FishLegs had all attention drawn to him." What do you mean by race"?"Tuffnut said, While stroking his imaginary beard. "He means a race you idiot!"Ruffnut said while smacking the back of his head."OW! Evil!"He said, dramatically pointing at her. I rolled my eyes and turned back to Fishlegs."Shat are you suggesting Fish?"I asked drawing attention away from the twins. "What if we have a race were we have to fly around Berk collecting sheep then bring them back to the arena or the hall and into our personal baskets or something, and whoever has the most sheep wins.!"FishLegs claimed excitedly. "That's......actually not a bad idea"Snotlout said pushing off of Hookfang." Yeah. The white sheep can we 1 point and the black sheep can be 10!"Astrid said, joining in. Heather nodded" We could also do face paint!"Heather added. We then began having a small descusion."Wait!"I said suddenly capturing all the attention." What am I going to tell my dad!"I asked. There facial expressions signified they hadn't thought of that. "Tell me what?" A booming voice said, cutting through the silence. I spun around coming face to face with a large red head Viking." Heyyyyy dad"I said nerviously."What's going on here?" He asked gesturing towards the chalk boards filled with messy sketches and writing."Ummm well you see dad...-"I began thinking if a believable excuse but was then interrupted by a loud voice." We're planning dragon racing!"Tuffnut said enthusiastically completely oblivious to scene playing out. We all groaned." What?" He asked dumbly. Ruff smacked him again, silencing him."Dragon racing?"Stoic asked looking directly at me. I was about to reply when he began to laugh." What a wonderful idea! Tell me all about it." He said in  booming voice. I smiled and we began to explain. Once we finished he didn't say anything."Dad?"I asked taking a step towards him" What are we waiting for. Let us prepare!" He bellowed. The gang all cheered in agrement. I chuckled at there actions as my dad mounted on the rumble horn and took off saying"You prepare, I'll notify the village." He shouted before disappearing. I turned towards the teens." Alright, let's get going." I said while transforming. We took off into the blue sky. 'Tomorrows gonna be a long day" I though as we headed for the village.
