HICCUP
My wings carry me at a lazy pace over the ocean. 
I hear the girl shout out at me and I take off.

Wings pumping like oars of a long boat and fins pushing like the sails,  I gain speed like mad. 

I take a sharp turn,  pointing to Outcast island.

I flap harder,  and I sense the masses behind the sea stacks coming up. 

I fly quickly,  to avoid the incoming fray. 

I see the dragons behind the sea stacks,  carrying all the buckets they can. 

I fly a ways ahead. 

I watch as the dragons drench their riders...
I let Toothless drench me,  to make this more fair.

The difference?
My clothes are suited to water.
Theirs aren't. 

How?
I shifted. 

I shift back,  dry as a wheat stalk. 
They all lock onto me at once,  eyes intense with mounting rage. 

I realize they don't find this funny.
I pat Toothless. 

Our silent command for retreat that we made up. 

He takes off and I do too. 

My wings strain like mad until I make it to the safety of a ship holding. 

I dive in and hide. 
I hear someone yell. 

He sees the angry teens and let's me hide. 

After they leave me alone,  I run into the woods and find a cove. 

I doubt they could find me here. 

I construct a shelter and call Toothless. 

We'll be here a while.
