Chapter One: Obedience School
"Come on Toothless stop fighting you have to learn to behave!" Hiccup grunted trying to drag his two year old German Shepard into the dog obedience school. Toothless wasn't the easiest dog sometimes, he had a nasty habit of chewing on the legs of his dining table. Toothless wasn't stupid, he knew what was going on and he hated going anywhere that wasn't the park or anywhere that he couldn't run free.
Eventually Hiccup got the dog inside, and Toothless upon seeing it wasn't the vet, started trying to bound around like a mad animal. "Toothless calm down!" Hiccup said getting frustrated. Hiccup loved this dog, when he'd been younger he'd had a lot of health problems. He hadn't been aloud outside much, and the kids in school had hated him.
Hiccups parents were pretty important, his mom was a world renowned Dog Whisperer and his dad was the owner and CEO of a big company called 'Hooligans Construction'. They did a lot of big projects and built a lot of Steele framed buildings. His parents had been busy when he was little so he spent a lot of time with his uncle Gober, who spent a lot of time teaching him how to use a blow torch.
About to years ago, his 11th grade year in highschool, He'd found a stray dog tied up with its leg badly hurt. He'd fallen in love with it instantly and brought it home. It took a while to get the dog back on his feet, but after a couple of months Hiccup soon discovered what a handful he was going to be. But hiccup loved having him around, he spoiled Toothless rotten. Let him sleep in bed with him, eat next to him at the table, play fetch in the house.
But his father insisted that the dog needed to be trained, and Hiccup wasn't one to argue with his father. So here he was, Toothless running around the training area like he owned it as Hiccup chased after him. "Toothless no! Sit! No Don't do that its bad!" He yelled as the dog bounced off the walls. They got through the first class relatively easily, Toothless was a pretty quick learner, once he and Hiccup both paid attention.
On the way home they stop into their favorite dog park and Hiccup let Toothless off his leash. He sniffed around but stayed close to Hiccup. Even though Toothless sometimes acted a little wild he was a loyal and faithful dog. He hardly ever went far from Hiccup, always there if his master needed him. Today was no different, he stuck close to Hiccup till they got to a secluded area in the park. "Okay boy want to pracitse some tricks?" Hiccup asked rubbing the dog under the chin.
Toothless gave a murmured groan and wagged his tail. Even though Toothless was in desperate need of obedience training, he knew a few really cool tricks. "Okay buddy, find the star." Hiccup said. Toothless laid down and buried his head in his paws. Hiccup ran around and hid a star shaped squeaky toy before coming back to the dog. "Alright pal go find it." Toothless ran around and after a bit found it tucked away in the bushes nearby.
They played for a while before Hiccup laid down in the grass, at first Toothless laid with him but then he got up and wandered around a little. Suddenly Toothless was barking and ran off and Hiccup swore as he launched himself from the ground to chase after the rowdy dog. It took a while but he eventually found Toothless snuffing around a serious looking Doberman Pincer. The Doberman didn't move just sat there and watched Toothless evenly.
"Is that your dog?" Asked a female voice from behind him. Hiccup whirled around knowing exactly who that voice belonged to. Astrid Hofferson stood there with her arms crossed looking as stunningly serious as ever. "Astrid?! Hi uh yeah that's Toothless." He said rubbing the back of his neck as he looked at the ground nervously.
