"Hiccup..." Cried toothless, "Hiccup, wh...where are you?" Toothless was searching frantically for Hiccup but he was no where to be found. A few moments later, the whole city was rattled by the shouts from Stoick. Toothless, being curious, flew over to see what was wrong. He found Hiccup on the ground against a rock, and Stoick pacing back and forth talking to Hiccup. Toothless was nervous, but he didnt intrude, instead he hid behind a tree listening in on the conversation. He couldnt hear everything that was being said, but the one thing he could make out was Stoick telling Hiccup that the whole having a dragon thing was too crazy, and he had to let Toothless go. The look on Toothless' face when he heard this was the equivalent to a sad puppy...
Toothless didnt want to hear anymore of what was being said so he went back to where we was when him and Hiccup first met, and was pacing in circles not knowing what to do or if Hiccup would actually go through with what his dad was telling him. And suddenly Toothless saw Hiccup coming with his head to the ground mumbling something to himself and shaking his head. Toothless sat down and watched as Hiccup walked up to him, and when he came up, he put his hand on Toothless and immediately broke down. Toothless kept trying to make everything better and tried to get Hiccup to play, but Hiccup kept crying. When Hiccup got the courage to finally say something he said, "Toothless, you know i love you...and you know i wouldnt trade you for the world...but Stoick doesn't want me to keep you..." Toothless' heart dropped as Hiccup put his arms around Toothless, and they cried together.
Then, as Hiccup walked away to reset himself, Toothless flew off. When Hiccup turned back around and Toothless was gone. Hiccup was now really upset with Stoick and he went to go speak his mind. Hiccup couldn't lose Toothless. Toothless was his life, the part he had put so much effort into. Especially when Toothless was a rare night fury that no one else had caught.
When Hiccup reached Stoick, he said "Dad we need to talk. I can't let Toothless go. I just can't do it. He means everything to me and it just isnt humane! Please don't make me let him go. I dont know what we would do without me, nor i him." Stoick replied, "Hiccup, you have heard my mind, and it will not be changed. There is nothing you can say or do to change it. Go now."
Hiccup then left back to where he first met Toothless, and he threw himself to the ground and stared at the sky. After a while he heard footsteps and the sound of Astrids voice. He immediately got up, afterall he has to stay strong for his girl. When Astrid came up to Hiccup, she asked "darling, whats wrong? I know you arent okay." "Youre right Astrid, im not. Stoick made me let Toothless go...i dont know what to do without him," said Hiccup. Astrid places her hand on his shoulder and brings him in for a hug, but he pushes her away. "Astrid, darling, id rather be alone for now..." Astrid's face went long, and a single tear rolled down her face, and she walked away.
As Hiccup lay on the ground once more he noticed a shadow come over him and go away, and when he looked to see what caused the shadow, he saw Toothless flying away, and the tears came as a flood...
