Third Person P.O.V

The Gronckle flies around the ring, the Nadder stocking around and waiting for its prey to come out.

Hiccup peeks around the wooden cover, smiling over at (Y/N) as she peeks behind hers.

She smiles and waves, making him chuckle before jumping when someone joins him.

Astrid glares at Hiccup, slamming his shield down, "stay out of my way! I'm winning this thing."

She rushes away as he sighs softly, shaking his head as he rises.

"Good. Please, by all means!" He looks back, raising his axe at his father as he waves his fist.

Hiccup forces a smile before sighing, looking back at the Gronckle.

...

(Y/N) gasps and ducks behind the cover as the Nadder chitters, walking by. It pauses, sniffing the air before sniffing the ground with a rumble.

She looks up, catching Hanna and Samuel's eye. They wave, making her reluctantly wave back before sighing.

...

Astrid peeks out, watching the Nadder slowly make its way back towards (Y/N). She takes in a deep breath before diving behind cover, nodding.

"She said she'd stay out of the way." She mumbles before nodding, leaping out from behind the cover and running towards the Nadder.

Astrid skids to a stop with wide eyes as the Nadder collapses, purring softly. (Y/N) stands in front of it, her hand outstretched slightly as she nervously smiles at Astrid.

"Are you kidding me, (Y/N)?!" Astrid shouts, making her flinch as she rubs her neck.

"It just kinda of happened!"

Astrid growls in anger, gripping the axe tightly before ducking behind cover as the Gronckle flies near. She watches it, grumbling lightly before rolling behind another cover.

She races to another, slamming against it with angry breaths.

"This time. This time, for sure!"

Astrid peeks out before yelling as she leaps over the cover, doing the same to another before she skids to a stop with wide eyes.

Hiccup stood in front of the Gronckle, his helmet and weapon on the ground along with the Gronckle.

He shrugs with a nervous smile, gesturing to the Gronckle as the crowd cheers.

"No!! You son of a half troll, rat-eating, munge-bucket!" She screams, waving her axe around.

"Oh, man. She probably hates me even more," (Y/N) winces, joining Hiccup.

"Wait, wait!" Stoick calls as Gothi motions for him to lean down. He does so, his eyes widening slightly as he grunts with a nod as he rises.

"I have just been told that there will be two Champions!" Stoick calls as the crowd cheers even louder. "And they will each kill a Monstrous Nightmare tomorrow."

"So... Later," Hiccup nervously mumbles as the two start to rush off.

"Oh, oh!" Gobber hooks Hiccup's collar, shoving (Y/N)'s face with his other hand. "Not so fast, you two."

"We're kind of... Late for--"

"What?!" Astrid demands, her axe pressed against Hiccup's throat. "Late... For what... Exactly?"

Her eye twitches as (Y/N) shoves the axe away from Hiccup, making him sigh in relief as he rubs his throat. (Y/N) and Astrid glare at one another, (Y/N) standing in front of Hiccup defensively as the crowd continues to roar with cheers.

"Quiet down! The elder has decided!" Stoick calls over the crowd as they begin to become hushed.

Gobber walks to the three, raising his hook above Astrid. Gothi shakes her head, making Samuel sigh softly with a frown.

The crowd murmurs as Gobber raises a brow, gesturing to (Y/N) and Hiccup.

Gothi smiles and nods, waving her finger in agreement as the crowd begins cheering.

"Oh, no." (Y/N) whispers with dread, her hand gripping Hiccup's sleeve as he flinches.

"Oh, you've done it you two!" Gobber cheers as Astrid slowly turns, a dangerous look on her face. "You've done it! You get to kill the dragons!" He hugs the two of them as the others rush over.

Fishlegs scoops up the two on his shoulders, the twins knocking their heads together and Snotlout cheering.

"That's my boy and his... friend!" Stoick cheers with a proud smile, nodding.

"I knew (M/N)'s and (F/N)'s lass had it in her!" Hanna cheers, pumping her fist in the air with a laugh.

Samuel nods at (Y/N), his face showing slight disappointment, but he smiles.

"Yes, we can't wait," Hiccup nervously laughs, sighing. "We are... so..."
