Hiccup hooked the tail piece to a saddle and put it on Toothless' back, hooking the buckles under his belly and tightening them. She then got on and sat on his back for a minute before adjusting the mechanism to where the proper position would be and waited for Toothless to make a move, she held on to a bar that had been placed on the saddle for protection and had also clipped a safety bungee cord to herself and the saddle just incase she were to ever fall off.<br/>"Lets give this a try bud..." She said softly and reached down petting the dragon.
