Dragon Girl

Target Practice

"Hey, Fishlegs?" I walked into his hut and saw him studying notes.
"Oh, Hiccup, did you need something? Oh! Is there a dragon to study?" he got excited and I felt kinda bad saying no.
"I-I'm just looking for Luna, she said she'd help Toothless and me with target practice," I looked around, "Um, where's Meatlug?"
"Uh, Meatlug went with Luna for a bit to some hidden pools Meatlug and I go to sometimes, Luna wanted a place to swim, someplace away from the twins and Snotlout so she could relax, she couldn't find the place so Meatlug went to show her where it is, she either decided to spend a bit of time at the pools too or she decided to stop for a snack as she was coming back," Fishlegs said.
"Well that was nice of both of you, honestly I could use a break from them too but I don't believe I'm getting that anytime soon," I sighed, "I guess I'll just wait for her to get back, don't wanna intrude on her relaxation time unless I have to."

Fishlegs and I decided to chat about dragons and some of his notes until the girls got back which they did about an hour later, Luna looked relaxed and refreshed and also looked surprised to see me there.
"Hiccup! What- Oh! I'm sorry, I totally forgot about training," she said.
"No problem, um...where's the baby Zippleback?" I asked, noticing he wasn't with her.
"I found his mother on the way to some pools to swim and returned him, turned out his mother had been out hunting on the other side of the island so she didn't hear the distress call, she was grateful to have him back but she was sassy and knocked me against a tree," she giggled, "just goes to show how dragons can have very different personalities."
Fishlegs walked up and hugged Meatlug who also seemed very relaxed, "Oh, you spent a bit of time in the hot spring, didn't you?" Fishlegs smiled.
"This girl," Luna scratched behind Meatlug's ear, "decided to play around while we were headed to the pools, shot a lava blast at me then acted like she didn't do a thing," she laughed, "You're lucky you're one of the cutest Gronckles I've ever seen or you wouldn't have gotten that little obsidian treat while we were heading back."
"Oh, she does love obsidian," Fishlegs hugged his dragon.
"A wild Nadder got spooked by a Terror and I had to stop a couple spines from hitting Meatlug, got my side scratched a little deep by one but it's not too bad," Luna said.
"You got scratched by a Nadder spine? Let me take a look at it," Fishlegs grabbed Luna's hands and led her over to his bed, making her sit, I was surprised that she didn't seem to tense a bit and only laughed as she let Fishlegs pull her.
"I'm fine, Fishlegs, it's not the first time, my immune system is really strong so the poison does little more than discolor the wound," Luna said.
"Still, let me patch it up at least, wouldn't want blood all over your clothes," Fishlegs smiled.

Luna relented easily and lifted her top just a bit to expose her midsection and the scratch that looked more like a gash on her side. She was totally relaxed while Fishlegs patched her up and even let him hug her afterwards, maybe she's come to trust us. I approached and went to set my hand on her shoulder but she visibly tensed at the contact so I quickly took my hand back and apologized.

"Looks like you and Fishlegs are really getting along," I commented and Luna pulled her top back down to cover the new bandages.
"Yeah, I've come to trust him, he's always so gentle when he examines my wings and just...well, look at him, you and him have been friends for years, he's the most trustworthy guy I've ever met, you just can't get mad at that face," she giggled.
Fishlegs blushed, "Well many have but I'm usually forgiven," he said.
"I should stop praising him lest Heather come in and think I'm hitting on him," Luna stood then hugged Fishlegs, "Thanks for patching me up, Fishy," she smiled, "Hey, we still on for trading dragon facts later?"
"Definitely! I look forward to it," Fishlegs said.
Luna looked at me, "Ready for target practice? And maybe a race just for fun afterwards? I wanna test my speed to Toothless', see if I'm getting any faster."
"Oh, y-yeah, let's go, Toothless is in your hut though, he came with me to look for you and he decided to wait for you," I told her.
"I'll get him, then, meet you at the dome," Luna flew off toward her hut.
