A New Rider

Dragon Auction

"I hate this." I grumbled looking down at the white and gold dress that I was wearing. It had a sun symbol on my chest and gold detailing.

I looked at Luna, who had a dress almost identical, but with silver details and a moon symbol on her chest instead of the sun.

Her dark hair was pulled up in a high ponytail and strung with silver pearls. Then, it fell down her back in a waterfall like waves.

My own light brown hair was tied up with a thick golden ribbon. Then my hair fell down over one shoulder. As a finishing touch, a strand of hair hung on either side of my face, right in front of my ears.

I walked to Luna, careful not to stumble in the high heeled golden shoes that I was wearing.

"You are beautiful," I murmured, before kissing her on the cheek. As I pulled away I corrected, "Well, more than usual."

Luna's cheeks turned a light pink as she gave me a small smile.

"So are you." She pushed my hair back a bit as she kissed me on the cheek. I felt my cheeks get hot.

"So, what's the plan?" I asked, trying to change the subject.

"We are going to be princesses. Apparently, you are going to be my assistant, or whatever it's called. Also, remember to not blow the cover no matter what. Our exit is going to be that we will be grabbed by Toothless or Stormfly so it looks like we are being kidnapped."

"I think I can do that. At least I will be by your side." I smiled at my girlfriend. I felt as though we could defeat anything in our way if we do it together.

"Another thing. We can't be romantic towards each other. We don't know how accepting the dragon hunters are about LGBTQ."

"You realize I don't know what that means, right?" I said, tilting my head slightly.

"Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer. There is a lot more but that is the main 5."

"Why wouldn't they be accepting?"

"Some people where I'm from say that people that are gay and stuff are going to hell." Luna responded.

"But why? I mean, Loki turned himself into a female horse and later gave birth to Sleipnir, an eight legged horse."

"I forget how wierd Norse mythology is." Luna laughed.

"So, we are going by ship?" I asked, suddenly remembering our mission.

"Yes. To pay and to show that we are able to pay, we are bringing a chest of pearls."

"So what ship are we using? No doubt they would recognize a Berkian ship."

"That is why we have a special sail. Hiccup helped make it. Follow me." Luna walked off, her silver heels clicking on the stone floor of Berk's training arena. I quickly followed her, focusing on not falling. I stared at my feet, angling my feet to hit toes then heel, which felt strange and uncomfortable. I wasn't even paying attention to when Luna twisted her ankle. For support, Luna grabbed my arm. I lost balance and we both tumbled to the ground.

"Sorry." Luna apologised. She stood and helped me stand.

"Let's try not to do that near the Dragon Hunters." I told her.The sail Hiccup made was a bright white like our dresses with a sun and moon symbol matching our dresses. "Let's go over the plan again." I said, afraid that I would mess something up. "Right." Hiccup nodded, his emerald eyes piercing into my brown ones.

***************************

I stood on the deck of the ship, staring up at the sun and moon insignia on the white flag.

Luna walked over to me and placed a hand on my shoulder.

"We got this." She said. Her lips brushed my cheek.

"One last kiss for luck. I want you to know that I love you."

"I know." I blushed.

"Good. Because I am going to be flirting with the hunters."

"What!" I exclaimed, feeling my voice crack in surprise. "They kill, and cage, and sell dragons!"

"I know, but we have to get close enough to them to get imformation and to free the dragons they have."

I took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. "Fine. We will do it your way."

"I promise I'll take you on a date, just me and you. I have the perfect place in mind." Excitement filled me, replacing my indignance.

"Alright," I said, seeing land ahead, knowing it was the island the auction was taking place. "Let's do this."

Sorry this chapter is so short, but someone has been bugging me to continue. Thanks for support and my question for today is: What is your favorite color? I don't think I have asked that before.
