Third POV
Once out of the arena, Sam hugged Hiccup tightly. "You did great!" Sam said to Hiccup who responded with a blush, "Thanks. Now let's go to the forge." Hiccup made a saddle for Sam. At the cove, Hiccup put the saddle on Sam while she was in dragon form. Hiccup flew on Sam with only the saddle and Sam veered right and Hiccup fell off. Hiccup took the saddle off and he made a harness that hooks on the saddle for himself, so that he wouldn't fall off. Every night Sam slept with Hiccup at his house. Sam and Hiccup were at the cove and Sam was in her dragon form. Hiccup was scratching Sam's back. Then she lifted her head high, and Hiccup scratched under her chin. Sam immediately fell to the ground.
At training, the Deadly Nadder went to attack Hiccup, but Hiccup dropped his weapon. The Nadder looked at him in confusion. Astrid ran to the Nadder with her axe, but Hiccup scratched the Nadder on its back and then under its chin. The dragon fell to the ground. Astrid was confused at how Hiccup could become so good at training. Sam was third best in training, with Astrid in second and Hiccup in first.
Everyday Hiccup went to training and everyday he made adjustments to Sam's tail fin and her saddle. When she transformed into her hybrid or normal form, her fin would shrink or disappear. Hiccup and Sam were flying and Sam made an unexpected turn and they fell into tall grass. Sam rolled around in the grass, loving the dragon nip. At training Hiccup used the dragon nip to put the Gronckle down to the ground. "I've never seen a Gronckle do that!" Snotlout said as the teens crowded around Hiccup and Sam. "Oh I left my axe back in the ring. I-I'll catch up with you later," Hiccup said while turning around, almost crashing into Astrid and Sam followed her mate.
Astrid was practicing throwing her axe at the trees when she rolled and was about to throw it, but she saw Hiccup and Sam. Hiccup was holding a bag of fish and then he pulled Sam behind a rock. Astrid followed, but they disappeared. Astrid banged her fist against the rock, obviously mad at how good Hiccup was becoming at training.
At dinner Hiccup and Sam's table that used to be lonely now fills up with people wanting to know Hiccup's way with dragons. Astrid wasn't so fond of the attention that Hiccup was getting. Hiccup made new improvements to Sam's tail fin and saddle. While playing with Sam, in her dragon form, Hiccup used a hammer to make a light on the ground and Sam followed it like a cat follows a laser. At training, "Meet the Terrible Terror," Gobber said as he let out a little dragon. "Ha. It's like the size of my—" Tuffnut said before being cut off by the dragon attacking him. The dragon was biting Tuffnut's nose. Hiccup used his shield as a light and lead the dragon back to its cage. "Wow. He's better than you ever were," Tuffnut said to Astrid who was becoming frustrated.
Hiccup and Sam were practicing flying. Sam's saddle was connected to a rope that was tied to an old tree stump at the top of a cliff. Hiccup was on top trying the stay on her. Sam landed and Hiccup regained his balance. They took air again, but the rope ripped and they went flying backwards. Hiccup's harness got stuck in Sam's saddle. Sam didn't change because she didn't know what would happen. At night, Hiccup brought Sam into the village and into the forge where Hiccup pried the hook out of Sam's saddle.
Astrid heard something in the forge and she went to investigate it. "Hiccup, are you in there?" Astrid asked and Hiccup quickly put on an apron to cover his harness. He jumped outside of the window while Sam stood behind the window. "Astrid. Astrid. Hey Astrid. Hi Astrid," Hiccup stuttered. "I normally don't care what people do, but you're acting weird," Astrid said as Hiccup was being pulled by Sam who smelled something across the room. "Well weirder," Astrid said and Hiccup began to float in the air and he looked confused before being sucked in the window by Sam. Astrid opened the window to find nothing, and she didn't notice Sam and Hiccup take off behind her.
The next day, Stoick and the village came back in bad shape. "At least you found the nest at least," Gobber said. "Not even close," Stoick replied obviously angry that he couldn't find the dragon's nest. "Uh. Excellent," Gobber commented, unsure what else to say. "I hope you had a little more success than me," Stoick said to Gobber. "Well, if by success you mean that your parenting troubles are over with, then yes," Gobber said to Stoick. "Congratulations Stoick, everyone is so relieved." "Out with the old and in with the new, right?!" "No one'll miss that old nuisance." "The village has thrown a party to celebrate!" "A fine chief's wife she'll make!" Vikings said to Stoick as they passed him. "He's gone?" Stoick asked Gobber who replied, "Umm. Yeah. Most afternoons with his girlfriend. But I mean who can blame him the life of a celebrity is very rough. He can barely walk through the village without being swarmed by his new fans." "Hiccup?" Stoick asked, stopping Gobber. "Who would have thought it, eh? He has this way with the beasts," Gobber said in a mystical voice and Stoick looked surprised. "Hiccup has a girlfriend?" Stoick asked and Gobber answered, "Well, he never said she was his girlfriend, but they're always holding hands whenever I see them." "Who is she?" Stoick asked.  "She said her name is Sam," Gobber said before continuing, "Most likely an orphan. I mean she makes him happy," Gobber finished and Stoick thought about it.
With Hiccup, he and Sam were flying out over the sea. Sam was in her dragon form with Hiccup on top of her back. "Alright, let's take this nice and slow. Alright here we go. Uhh. No sudden changes for now. Alright," Hiccup said while looking at the tailfin. Sam hit a little turbulence and Hiccup gripped onto the saddle tightly. Sam looked back at her tailfin before looking back forward. Hiccup checked his harness and then the tailfin. "Alright, it's go time. It's go time," Hiccup said before diving down. "C'mon Sam. We got this!" Hiccup told Sam as they dived down to the water. Sam and Hiccup flew under a tall rock. "Yes, it worked!" Hiccup said and then he accidentally hit Sam into two rocks. Hiccup was controlling which way Sam would go, by leaning. "Sorry. That's my fault," Sam hit him with her ear. "Yeah yeah. Sam, I'm on it," Hiccup said to Sam. Then Hiccup pulled Sam up. She flew up higher and higher. "Yeah. Go baby! Yeah! Oh this is amazing. Good thing I'm hooked in—" Hiccup's harness somehow came undone. "STOP!" Hiccup tried to hook himself back in. Sam immediately stopped flapping her wings. Hiccup's other hook unhooked and Hiccup fell off of Sam. Sam noticed and she roared at him. "Sam you gotta kinda angle yourself. No come back that way!" Hiccup said. Sam's tail accidentally hit Hiccup. Though Hiccup's contraption allows Sam to fly solo, Sam is still unsure of how it works and how to use it, besides the fact that it's still a prototype.
Hiccup grabbed onto Sam's saddle. They were approaching the ground quickly. Hiccup hooked his harness in before noticing that they were going to hit the trees. Hiccup pulled up. Sam was scared, but she trusts Hiccup. She roared. Hiccup tried to think of another way out, but they were approaching the rocks too quickly. Hiccup went on instinct and trusted Sam just as she trusted him. They maneuvered through the rocks. Acting as one, they made it through the rocks. Once they made it out Hiccup cheered and Sam shot a plasma blast. The fire burned Hiccup's hair back.
