(A/N: hey peeps! Sorry I haven't updated in like forever, I was just trying to get used to my new classes and stuff and I got my wisdom tooth pulled yesterday so I am in pain right now, but that won't stop me from updating! Anyway, this chapter the story is going to pick up a bit so I hope you're ready! Now let's get on with the show!)

The End of Day One and the Hatchery

As I parked my bike in the garage, I headed inside to find my family. I walked from the hallway that leads to the living room from the garage…and got swarmed by my two brothers

"She's finally HOME!" Casper yelled.

"We were SO BORED without you around; we didn't have anyone to beat on Kirby Air Ride!" Axel agreed. (A/N: one of my favorite games!)

"You set up the Wii already?" I asked.

"Yeah, well, what else were we going to do on a beautiful summer day like this one?" Axel defended them.

"I will never understand that, why you would stay inside on a great day like today?"

"Because those two are crazy teenage boys, haven't you figured it out?" Mom said, walking up to me and giving me a hug. "How was your day sweetie?"

"It was awesome! I got to meet Toothless and meet other interns and almost get eaten by a Gecko Foot dragon!"

"Wow, I wouldn't think they would let you go near the dragons on your first day." Mom commented, looking a bit worried.

"It's OK mom, they have a great security staff and wouldn't let anything happen to us."

"How was Toothless?" Dad wondered, walking over from the kitchen.

"He definitely knew whose family I belonged to, and just as playful as ever. But I could tell he really missed Berk a lot." I explained.

"That's terrible! He must be lonely, but now you'll be there! I know he'll appreciate that." Mom assured me. "Are you hungry Tove?"

"Naw, I already had lunch. But I am hungry for some action. Axel, Casper, I challenge you! You both will get your behinds handed to you when I win at Kirby Air Ride!" I laughed and raced them to the living room. We played for what seemed like hours, and before I knew it was dinner time. I told everyone more about my day and the kids I had met. Then I decided to go to bed early because I had to get up on time to get to work.

…

RING! My alarm clock yelled at me. Pressing the snooze button, I got dressed, grabbed a granola bar and headed out to the zoo. Since I didn't have a uniform, I just decided to wear something close to it. I had on a green shirt that was lighter than the uniform, but it was close. I also had regular jean shorts and a purple baseball cap because it was the only one I owned. I parked my bike in the same spot as yesterday. Showing my pass I walked in the gate and headed to the stadium where Rio was waiting for me, just like yesterday.

"Hey Rio, where is everybody?" I wondered.

"They're all off with their individual mentors, I need to show you what specific work we'll be doing with Toothless and the hatchery."

"Hatchery?"

"I didn't show you yesterday because only a few people at a time are allowed inside, but I can show you today, it is a really special place."

"Cool, sounds fun!"

"Then let's get started!" Rio then led the way beck down into to basement and into a new door I hadn't been into. Rio then put his finger to his lips so that I would be quiet. "This is the Hatchery, when the dragons have eggs we bring them here to study them and check on their growth progress before giving them back to the mothers. We will be doing most of the busy work here, like weighing and marking them for the experts so they can do the more important stuff. They determine if it is a purebred species of dragon or a hybrid between two species and then catalogue them on these shelves, go ahead and take a look around." I nodded and began to step forward, lightly so I wouldn't disturb any of the shelves, which seemed to double as incubators. Saw how different the eggs of different dragon species looked. The Gronkel eggs were more oblong and ones like the Zippleback were more circular. Then I saw on a shelf in the back were the hybrid dragon eggs. I saw Terrible Terror/ Nightmare eggs, Gronkel / Nadder eggs, and even one that was Night Fury / Gecko Foot!

'Wait' I thought to myself, 'I thought Toothless was the only Night Fury here, does that mean…?'

"Whoa" I breathed at my revelation. That is when I saw the egg jump! "Did it just…" I started, but then cupped my hands over my mouth, realizing my mistake. Relaxing that the egg didn't move again, I sighed. Rio walked over to me and saw the egg I was staring at.

"I know what you're thinking, and no, it is not Toothless' child." He said very quietly. "We have other Night Furies, you will be working with them in the future, and you just haven't seen them yet." I nodded as he led me out of the Hatchery and back to Toothless' room. He showed my things I would have to do daily like feed him, practice his tricks with him, and scratch the loose scales off him with these special gloves (you can guess how much Toothless liked that, he was rolling all over the floor!). I could see that Toothless really liked having me here, if he couldn't have Hiccup, I guess I was the next best thing. Rio had to go consult with some other workers, so he left me and Toothless alone for a while, me still scratching him with the gloves. We were sitting down on the ground, just relaxing.

"Hey Toothless," he responded to my call by perking his ear-thingies up and looking at me. "Do you miss Hiccup a lot?" his ears went down again and I could tell he was sad. "Well, you'd like my brothers, they probably look more like him then I do. I bet you miss Berk too? I do to, we had to move off of Berk because my Uncle sold it right under out noses." Toothless perked up at this, like he knew what I was saying. I continued "Yeah, it was sad, I had lived there my whole life, and I don't think I am ready to go to public school. But hey, if that hadn't happened I would never have met you, right?" Toothless nodded at this and gave me a lick. I laughed, "Ha-ha! Well, I think, when I'm older, I will go and buy Berk back, and I'll bring you and all of the other dragons with me, so it can be just like it was when Hiccup was here, you'd like that, right?" Toothless nodded eagerly. "I knew you would!" just then, Rio came back in.

"We gotta go and feed the other Night Furies." He informed me.

"Alright, bye Toothless! I'll come back after lunch, OK?" I asked, petting his head. He responded with one of his "Toothless" smiles. I laughed and we headed out.

…

after I had met and fed the other Night Furies, we did some cataloguing in the Hatchery and then lunch, then I went back and played with Toothless some more. By then it was about 3:30, which is when the Night Furies eat their dinner and get their afternoon training sessions, after which is was 5:00, closing time.

"Is it always this slow here?" I asked Rio as we left the stadium.

"Not by a long shot. We just aren't that busy because we have no shows scheduled this week, that's when it gets hectic."

"Hmm, I guess that's when everyone has to be in top form right?"

"Yeah, that's why we cancelled all our shows for the next four weeks so we can get the interns trained and ready for the first show of the new season."

"But I just saw the show two days ago?"

"That was the last show of the summer season; we have to get ready for what we call the school year seasons because of field trips and stuff like that. For that we make the show different."

"I get it, but what about me? I won't be able to work here when school starts. I'm starting junior year."

"We provide High school credit for working here during the year, so you come here to work in the morning and then go to school in the after noon."

"That Rocks!" I exclaimed, excited.

"It sure does, but you better get home, I still have a lot to teach you and I don't want you all tired when you get here."

"Sure thing Rio, see 'ya tomorrow!" I said, going through the gate to get my bike to head home.

…

I was welcomed home the same way as yesterday, Axel and Casper complaining they've gone through every video game they own and that none of them are fun without someone to beat, Mom asking me about my day and Dad asking me about Toothless. We had steak for dinner (my absolute favorite!) and then, because it was so nice out, I decided to do a little exploring in that forest behind our house. I walked along worn paths and grass trails until I found a little clearing to sit in. It kinda reminded me of Berk, I took in a deep breath of the fresh air, which wasn't the same. I sat down, propped up against a tree…when I heard a rustle in the grass to my left.

"Whose there?" I called in a voice that sounded a little scared. "Come on out!" the grass rustled again, and parted to reveal…A BABY DRAGON!

(A/N: DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUN! Why is there a baby dragon in the forest? Did it follow her? Find out next chappie, please R&R!)
