"I'm going to fly... to you know, allow more space for everyone." jack says, eyeing the dragon.

"Please, you're just scared!" I mock.

"The thing blows fire! ice and fire aren't really compatible, okay?"

I smirk and rapunzel giggles lightly.

Hiccup hoists himself up onto toothless and offers me his hand. "c'mon. I don't want this to take long."

I take his hand and Jump up behind him, and punzie behind me.

"Hold on." says hiccup. "dragons fly fast."

Rapunzel brings her arms around me awkwardly. and I hesitantly put my arms around hiccup's waist, loosely.

"Do you want to fall off?" he says.

"No."

"Then hold on a little tighter... and bring your arms down to my stomach. for support."

I give out a squeak but eventually moved my arms lower, tightening my grip.

"You're blushing princess." jack smirks and flies up next to us.

"Would you shut up?"

Hiccup completely ignored us both, thank god. "ready?"

"Ready." rapunzel and I say in unison.

He grins and I swear a saw toothless grin too before we dashed up even higher.

I yelp and held onto hiccup tighter, bringing myself closer to him. I looked behind me to see if rapunzel was still there, but I yelped again as I realized she wasn't on the dragon.

But I heard her giggle next to me.

Jack was holding her by the waist as she held onto jack and her braid.

"We're going to slow down soon once we get above the clouds!" hiccup called and flew up straight. I nodded and rested my head on his shoulder.

Everything was silent once we were up on top of the clouds. we flew calmly and peacefully.

I glance over at jack and rapunzel and saw jack kiss her lightly on the lips. it was sweet but I wasn't big on love myself.

When I looked at hiccup, he didn't seem happy. and he's been his happiest when he was with toothless. something was on his mind.

"What's wrong?" I loosened my grip on him.

"I'm just thinking... that's all." he pets toothless's head and avoids any eye contact.

"You can tell me what you're thinking. I'm a great listener. and besides, you calmed me down when I saw that picture."

Hiccup stayed silent for a moment. "I... I had a girlfriend before I died. and we used to come up here at night a relax above the clouds. I just want to know how she is, but.... I'm afraid to know..."

"I think I understand." I nod. "I didn't want someone special. I rebelled against marriage. I mean, who wants to marry this young when you want to be free. but something happened where I could've lost my mother forever... I guess now she lost me."

Hiccup turned and looked at me. and I guess right now was the first time I actually looked at him. he wasn't too geeky when you thought about it. geeky wasn't a word to describe is smartness and logic. he was... inventive. and aware of his surroundings. his girlfriend must've been the luckiest girl alive.

Toothless roared which gained everybody's attention. even jack and rapunzel stopped kissing.

"We are almost there. say goodbye to this cloud place thingy." hiccup sighed as jack nodded. the both made us go down under to find a small village.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I give you... berk."
