Lilly's POV

"So what do you think, shall we find Shadow to try this out?" Hiccup asked after a while, holding up the saddle.

Slowly shaking from my daze I looked up into Hiccup's shimmering eyes and nodded slowly. He grinned at me, winking.

"Oh, have I made you speechless?"

I blushed a deep shade of pink. "Shut up."

He chuckled, "I see you're picking up fast on how we talk around here."

He offered me his hand as he got up and interlaced our fingers as we walked down the path from his hut to find our dragons.

Soon we spotted Toothless and Shadow playing in the meadow next to the dome along with the other dragons. The gang was sitting around, obviously having a blast listening to the twins jokes. Hiccup squeezed my hand lightly before letting it go as we approached them.

"Can I?" I asked, pointing to the saddle.

"Sure." Hiccup handed it over to me and I smiled happily, turning around to show Shadow our gift. "Shadow! Look what I have here!" I called out to her while running down the hill.

Hiccup went to sit down along with the other riders, but I could still feel his eyes on me. Shadow looked up perking her ears as I stopped right in front of her.

However the moody dragon sniffed the saddle suspiciously: "And what would that be?"

"A saddle! Hiccup made it for us, so you can wear it whenever we go on a flight."

"Oh there's no way you're putting that saddle thing on my back!" She huffed, her eyes turning to slits. 

"Oh come on Shadow, big please?" I tried my best puppy eyed look but it was useless.

"No." Shadow said before she ran off.

Oh you annoying, moody lizard. I thought as I spurted after her.

Hiccup's POV

Watching Lilly chase after Shadow made me chuckle, it reminded me a lot of my first times with Toothless.

"Funny, it looks like they would actually talk to each other." Heather pointed out as everyone's eyes were focused on the scene before us.

"That's because they are." I spoke up, still amazed by the fact that Lilly could speak to dragons.

"You got to be kidding Hiccup." Astrid said in disbelief.

"Yeah, no one can talk to dragons, duh. You're so easily fooled Hiccup, but to convince the amazing Snotman Lilly would have to bring an foolproof evidence." Snotlout gave himself air.

I rolled my eyes and was about to retort when Lilly stepped up to us, panting heavily but without the saddle.

"Proof what?" she asked, brows furrowed.

I chuckled once more. "How have you convinced Shadow to put the saddle on?"

She turned her gaze to me and sighed. "I promised to catch her salmon...lots of salmon. But proof what?"

"Hiccup says you can speak with dragons, we find that hard to believe and it's really not easy to say but I agree with Snotlout. Could you proof us that you really understand what the dragons are saying?" Astrid said, her arms crossed.

I frowned, not liking where this was going. It wasn't my intention to put Lilly into this position of justifying herself. But again, as I was about to say something, I was interrupted. This time by Lilly.
