First of all, I told you all I was working on a fanfiction called "THIS IS BERK." Since I am not extremely good at one shots, it will take me longer to get that fanfic updated. This was an idea my younger brother and I came up with after reading book 4 to the How To Train Your Dragon series (book four is titled 'How To Cheat a Dragon's Curse'). So, I am NOT giving up on "THIS IS BERK", it will just take me longer to get chapters out (maybe once or twice a week). Meanwhile, this fanfiction is a little bit on the short side compared to my others, but still, I think it's sweet. This happens just a few months after the season finale to "Riders of Berk", taking place just a few weeks before "Live and Let Fly".

Also, TODAY is my two-week anniversary of Fanfiction! YAY! Thanks to all who have stuck with me! :) Beyond is out!

Every dragon has something that makes them unique. Some of them breath fire. Some of them spit acid. And some of them are just so mysterious to even get recognized as a threat. Unfortunately, those are the ones who often pose as one.

"GUYS!" shouted Snotlout, running into the Dragon Academy. "YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE WHAT JUST HAPPENED!"

"What?" asked Astrid. "What happened?"

"There was a mine, see," said Snotlout. "Well, not really a mine...one of those old dragon traps. You know, from when we used to kill dragons."

"What about it?" asked Hiccup, getting interested (which was seldom when it came to Snotlout).

"A dragon got caught in one," said Snotlout. "I don't know what kind of dragon it is, I've never seen it before. It's small, about the size of a Fireworm, and very, very, very mad right now. It can't get out, because some boards fell over the top of it."

"Boards?" asked Hiccup. "What do you mean?"

"Not boards exactly, Hiccup," said Snotlout. "Hookfang crashed into a tree, and some of the branches and stuff blocked the dragon's only way out. He...or she, I don't know...is trapped!"

"Okay, mount up, gang," said Hiccup. "Let's see what this dragon is."

The youths mounted their dragons, and they shot into the sky, Snotlout and Hookfang flying in the lead, and the others following.

Snotlout looked down before spotting it. "There!" he shouted, pointing to said location.

"Okay, down, Toothless," Hiccup instructed. Toothless obeyed, followed by the other dragons and their riders. They landed in front of a rather large looking hole in the ground, covered with debris and sticks.

They heard roaring; sounding almost like an aggravated Terrible Terror. Hiccup dismounted and walked over to the hole, Toothless right behind him, teeth unsheathed.

"Hey, settle down, bud," Hiccup told the Night Fury as he strode over to the place in the ground where the roaring was coming from.

When he approached, he couldn't see anything of significance, besides the fact that it was a dragon (although he couldn't see its colors because of the bad lighting), and it was trapped.

"Okay, Toothless," said Hiccup. "I'll need your help getting the dragon ou-ahhh!"

The ground was unstable. Suddenly, it caved in underneath Hiccup, and he fell into the trap, wailing.

"HICCUP!" shouted Astrid, racing forward.
