Hey guys! A couple of you already know this, but for those that don't, I have been hit with another wave of major writer's block, so I won't be able to update my three stories for a while. But I have started writing a story to keep you(and myself) entertained. Unfortunately, it will be a while before that one is uploaded. But(once again) I had the idea for this story come to me in a dream after reading 'The Queen, The Shieldmaiden, The Hiccup.' by Jinouga.

Quick shout-out to my brother, because without him, this story wouldn't be here. He helped me with a lot of the stuff for this story.

I hope you enjoy it and please review.

I do not own anything apart from the plot.


HICCUP'S POV

I ran all the way home from school after being beat up by Snotlout and his gang again. Snotlout's words rung in my ears: 'You'll never be good at sport, Useless. Just run along to your girly gymnastics.'

I got to the gates that marked the beginning of the driveway. They were unlocked. Good. That meant that Dad was home, and I needed to talk to him about something.

As I reached for the button that opened the gate, Johann, our butler, came up to me and opened the gate from the inside.

"How was school today, Master Hiccup?" Johann asked me as he bowed slightly.

"It was the same as usual. And I've told you time and time again not to bow when you talk to me."

When I got to the front door, I pushed it open and chucked my bag on the floor next to Dad's workbag.

I slipped my trainers off and went through to the kitchen.

"How was school, son?" My Dad asked me as I opened the fridge and took out the leftover steak pie from the night before.

I took a deep breath as I put the plate of food in the microwave, "Dad. I want to go to a different school."

"What?"

I turned around and saw a very surprised expression on his face.

"I absolutely hate it there. Everyone picks on me just because I'm the thin, useless, nerd. And I'm not getting enough of a challenge. I've tried asking if I can move up a level, but the teachers just look at me like I'm crazy."

The microwave beeped and I took out the plate and set it on the table as I went to go get a fork and knife from the cupboard.

"Well, if that's what you want...Which school do you want to go to instead?"

I sat down and took out a flyer from my pocket, "It's a boarding school in Burgess for gifted kids. They give teenagers college level work and help them in subjects they might not be good at, sports, for example. There's also an entire building devoted to arts and crafts, and a massive scientific lab."

Dad looked at the flyer and sighed, "Ok, I'll put you on the train tomorrow and you can start as soon as you get signed in."

I looked up at Dad in shock, "Really? You mean it?"

Dad nodded, "All I want is for you to be happy."

I jumped up and gave him a hug, which he returned a little too roughly.

"Dad...can't... breath!"

"Sorry." Dad let go and I sucked in some air before smiling widely.

"You better go pack your stuff if you're leaving tomorrow."

"Yeah, that might be helpful." I said as I ran up the stairs to my bedroom.


The next day, me and Dad were at the train station with all my bags, and for strange reason, a cardboard box with holes in it.

Finally, my curiosity won me over, "Dad, what's in the box?"

Dad turned to me and smiled, "It's a goodbye gift from Gobber. He said to take good care of him."

"Him?"

Dad opened the box and I looked inside.

"He's amazing!" I said as I lifted out a small bearded dragon.

The lizard looked at me and stuck his tongue out to the side, catching a fly.

I smiled, "I'll call you Sharpshot. Could you say thanks to Gobber for me?"

Dad nodded, "I'll tell all the students at the school that you're going traveling for a couple of years. I'll probably end up spending the entire assembly answering questions."

"All passengers going to Burgess please board the train at platform six."

I turned to Dad and hugged him, "I'll try to stay out of trouble while I'm away."

Dad laughed, "And promise me that you'll win loads of medals."

I smiled and put Sharpshot back in the box, "Can you help me get all this stuff on the train?"

Dad didn't reply, but picked up two of my suitcases and put them on the train.

We then shared one last hug before Dad had to get off the train.

I spent the next hour sitting in a chair, stroking Sharpshot.


When the train finally stopped, I held Sharpshot with one arm while I grabbed my bags with the other.

According to Dad, someone from the school was going to meet me and take me to the campus to get settled in.

As I stepped out onto the platform, I saw several people holding white signs with names on them.

I searched for my name and saw a boy with white hair and pale skin leaning casually against the wall.

I walked up to him and smiled, "Are you from the Burgess Boarding School?"

The boy smirked, "That depends. Who's asking?"

I put my bags down and held out my hand, "Hiccup Haddock."

The boy shook my hand and grabbed two of my bags for me, "Frost. Jack Frost."

He started towards the car park and headed over to a white Dacia Duster.

Jack opened the boot of the car and chucked my bags in, before climbing into the back of the car.

I placed my last bag in the boot and shut it. Then I walked over to the open door and climbed into the car.

Jack poked the old man who had fallen asleep in the driver's seat, "Can we get going now, Mildew? I have practice in like, ten minutes."

The old man jerked awake and started mumbling under his breath while he started the engine.

I turned to Jack, "I don't mean to be nosy, but what did you mean when you said practice?"

Jack smiled at me, "Basketball practice. I'm the captain of the Burgess Dragons."

My eyes widened, "No way! You're the captain of the Burgess Dragons!? You guys are fifth in your division!"

Jack laughed, "Yeah, we are. But not for long. We're close to being shunted down by the other teams in our division."

My face suddenly lit up, "I have an idea to keep you in the top five, but you're going to have to do as I say."

Jack smiled, "That's great! Oh, before I forget, are you any good at basketball? We just lost one of our best players, and there isn't anyone else in our school who plays."

"Are you serious? I would love to try out, but I don't know if I'm good enough."

Jack waved it off, "Nonsense. If you know how to play, then you're on the team. If you're not that good, then I'll help you."

After about five minutes of talking about sports, Mildew stopped the car and we got out.

I felt my jaw drop as I stared at the school.

The school was so big, it was like a city. There were several massive buildings-probably for the classes-, and small house-like buildings were everywhere.

I closed my mouth when I heard Jack laughing.

"What's so funny!?"

"Your face! Oh! You should have seen your face when you saw the school!"

Mildew dropped my bags in front of me and scowled, "Here, take yer bags and get inside!"

Jack stopped laughing and whistled.

As soon as he heard the whistle, Mildew froze, "Oh no."

He whirled around and his breathing became shorter when the gates swung open.

Jack smirked, "Bella! Mildew's been naughty again!"

I heard growling and saw a Dalmatian walk towards Mildew.

Mildew started walking backwards, slowly, "Jack, please, call 'er off. Please! I'll clean yer room for ye! I'll do anything, just call 'er off!"

Jack pretended to be deep in thought, "Let me think about that. You haven't been nice to our new student, so...Bella! Go easy on him. I don't want him going to hospital."

The dog turned to Jack and nodded, before quickly jumping towards Mildew and biting his ankle.

Mildew leapt into the air and screamed in pain.

Me and Jack doubled over laughing as we watched Bella chase Mildew around.

After about three minutes, Jack finally called Bella off Mildew and I picked up my bags.

Jack smiled as he took one of my bags, "I'll show you to your room, or house, rather."


Alright! Thank you for reading and I hoped you enjoyed it. Unlike Jinouga, I will actually be showing you what Hiccup did during his time at Burgess Boarding School. If you have any ideas concerning what he and Jack get up to, please review or PM me.
