Hiccup repeated my name over and over, and I ignored him... Over and over. I flew faster when I heard him say my name for the tenth time.

"STORMFLY, SPIKE ATTACK!" I screamed when Hiccup said my name again. Stormfly shot five spikes behind us, and Toothless dodged each one.

"ASTRID! LISTEN! PLEASE!" Hiccup screamed.

"UGH." Stormfly opened her wings, and Toothless passed us. Stormfly dove for the water and turned around.

"Come on, girl. Let's take the long way back to Berk." I said.

Stormfly purred in agreement and we flew around the island of Berk, landing in the cove. I turned behind me, making sure no dragons (or Monica) followed us.

"Coast is clear, girl. We'll stay here for the night. I don't want to put up with Hiccup. Not when Monica is here. You know what I mean?" I turned to Stormfly as I walked into the cave.

She cocked her head and licked her wing.

"And I'm talking to a dragon."

Stormfly walked over to me and licked me.

"Hey, I love you too. Now c'mon, get in there." I told her.

I sat in front of the cave, fiddling with my fingers, waiting for the sun to set.

Then Hiccup flew by; above us.

I sighed and shook my head.
