Yep, here's another one. I'm gonna try to not do these short stories too often, but this was one I thought was too valuable to not put into writing. The next one will probably be written after the final HTTYD Hidden World trailer in the fall, and then after that, when the third film's released, ADR 3 will be started (at long last).
Impatience was emerging in Morgan. He's been waiting for over a year now to go back into the HTTYD universe, and after seeing that initial trailer of the Hidden World back in June, his patience was only shortened significantly. Of course, being one of the most passionate How To Train Your Dragon fans, it was no wonder that he was trying to find out as much information on the new film as possible. He was sweating, and he was completely apprehensive about getting lucky enough to experience what every HTTYD fan wants again; to go to the HTTYD universe. Morgan himself literally had no idea how it worked, but he figured that some things were perhaps better without being questioned, and if he's looking to return to the HTTYD world after the third film's release, he shouldn't really be questioning how it was possible in the first place.
Morgan didn't rate the Light Fury at all; the so-called call of the wild for Toothless, the one who's going to take the Night Fury away from the grasp of Hiccup. Morgan's experience with Toothless, though, which was basically before he woke up back in 'our world', had made him feel a sense of anger and negativity whenever he saw pictures on an images website or even the trailer itself of the Light Fury. He'll literally go through her in order to get to Toothless, no matter what the outcome of the third film; whether the dragons disappear, go into hiding, or the whole of Berk goes with the dragons into the hidden world, Morgan's coming for the Light Fury and Toothless. Of course, that is IF he can even return to the HTTYD universe at all, which, as a reminder, happened to him out of pure randomness one night, specifically, on the night of one of the days of April 2017.
"Nubless?" Morgan said, in reference to the name people are giving the Light Fury all over the internet, as he was just looking precisely at his laptop screen, with a fan nearby to cool him down from the hot steaming weather outside, "more like go fuck off and don't drag Toothless away?" he added.
He didn't want to self-provoke himself, but he was tempted to just look up some more pictures of the Light Fury from the trailer. He proceeded to do so, regardless of the fact that it'll probably anger him. Whilst many fans across the world are praising the trailer and calling the interactions between Toothless and the Light Fury funny, Morgan's the only fan to have experienced being in that very world, so to him, it was personal and somewhat emotional, and mind messing. Just seeing the very dragon he had that experience with being gradually taken away because of the Light Fury had caused him to be angry, not at Toothless, but again, at the Light Fury.
It's a whole different story for the fans all over the world; they didn't spend three months in the HTTYD universe like Morgan did last year, before waking up back in our world. He had a personal connection to Toothless for one specific, and (probably for the better) hidden reason. Not only that, but he was also keen on seeing Hiccup and the gang again. When he wasn't thinking about Toothless and the Light Fury, it dawned on Morgan that Hiccup actually hasn't aged all that much from when he saw the Chief of Berk in person during his time in the HTTYD universe. In fact, in that bearded scene in the trailer, Morgan noticed that if the beard was off, Hiccup looked exactly the same as he did in the previous scenes in said trailer.
Morgan loaded up a ton of images of the Light Fury; first, he caught his eye on the one with her going face-to-face with Toothless, just studying him. Then, he loaded up the one with her looking to the side with the water on the beach on her left. Then he loaded up the one with her flying Hiccup, where he uttered 'save him'.
"Look at her, she looks like a piece of plastic?" Morgan said, just talking to himself again at his laptop screen, as the rest of his family were out.
The more Morgan looked at her, the more negativity he could feel; sure, some fans considered her to look quite 'cute' in a sense, but despite that, all Morgan could think of was what he'll be doing and saying to her when he returns to the HTTYD universe after the third film (which again, can only happen if he gets lucky enough to return, which is highly unlikely given that it's been over a year since it last happened). Morgan didn't give a damn about the dragons going away, either. He used to worry about the inevitable ending, but upon his experience in the HTTYD universe last year, he felt completely confident that, should he be lucky enough to return, the dragons will actually be closer than people think, meaning he can return to Toothless's presence and in turn, meet the Light Fury.
The most exciting thing for Morgan, in the midst of all this anger, was the possibility of Toothless remembering him IF he manages to find the Night Fury, IF he gets lucky enough to return to the HTTYD world post-Hidden World. He was coming up with ways in which he could reveal himself; he could walk to Toothless's black scaly presence wearing a mask, in his typical shorts and casual clothing, and then he can remove the mask to unveil himself to Toothless. Toothless, being a Night Fury, and the alpha, and the most intelligent dragon, most likely gave him the ability to remember things at a gigantic rate, and that was where Morgan was coming from. However, Morgan was also looking forward to potentially being remembered by all of the other characters, the ones he also met in his time in the HTTYD universe; Astrid, Ruffnut, so on. And if Toothless remembers the 18 year old? Well, Morgan's excitement would probably result in him tearing up, and in turn, wanting to return to the way things were before he woke up back in our world. He was just too excited about imagining Toothless's reaction.
Morgan loaded up the trailer, and stopped it right at the point where Toothless was looking up at the dark sky where the Light Fury had cloaked herself to 'disappear', with Toothless whining for her to come back. Morgan didn't know why, but he felt like Toothless was wasting his time. He paused it right at that moment, and as insane as it sounded for somebody to be talking at an animated film's trailer, Morgan had a good reason to be doing it.
"For god sakes, Toothless, since when did you want her anyway?" Morgan said, not wanting to mention the secretive occurrences that happened with Toothless way before the Night Fury met the Light Fury (and those occurrences obviously involved Morgan himself whilst he was still there).
If he has to drive a wedge between the Light Fury and Toothless if he returns to the HTTYD world, then Morgan will do just that, if it means he can get Toothless's attention and in turn, just the Night Fury himself generally, for a specific reason. He didn't find the Light Fury intriguing, nor did he find any of the moments between her and Toothless funny. The more he saw those moments, the more he wanted to punch something. It was just far too provocative, but he had a VERY good reason to be thinking this way.
"I've been waiting for over a year man, COME ONNN..." Morgan said, slightly yelling, keeping the trailer paused at one of Toothless's interactions with the Light Fury.
As far as Grimmel was concerned, by the time Morgan himself returns to the HTTYD world, if he does at all, Morgan concluded that Grimmel would probably be dead, or defeated, so he didn't really care about the seemingly dangerous person.
Morgan's experience of watching the trailer initially, and again now, had made him cringe, only at the moments where Hiccup was making gestures to help Toothless engage with the Light Fury. The thumbs up at the end had drove Morgan into an angry vibe, because it wasn't funny for him; why is Hiccup encouraging Toothless to be dragged away? The Light Fury, as far as Morgan was concerned, can hate humans all she wants; and actually, if she still does by the time Morgan himself returns to the HTTYD world, it'll make his goal of returning to Toothless all the more easier. And that was the weird thing; Hiccup was the nicest to Morgan whilst he was there, despite Hiccup himself being competitive when he was holding that viking election.
"Oh my god..." Morgan said, laughing, not at humour, but out of his attempts to keep himself cool, "look at her...why do they think she's funny, why do they think she'll be a good contribution? She's a fucking disgrace...I swear to god if I see her, I'm gonna chase her to the point that she'll cloak and disappear into the sky...if she's that unsure about humans.." Morgan concluded.
He just could not stand the Light Fury at all; she was a new obstacle for his future return to the HTTYD world, in terms of getting back to Toothless.
As far as the 'fight for their freedom' speech was concerned, Morgan didn't take that all too seriously. What mattered to him was simply finding out, assuming he can get back to that universe obviously, how he can get to the hidden world, the place he's assuming all the dragons will be hiding out in after the third film. Luckily, Morgan's knowledge of HTTYD gives him an advantage over everybody in said world; when he was there before, he kept on shocking and surprising Hiccup with how much he knew about Toothless, how he and Hiccup got to be friends, and how everything fell into place. Morgan intends on using that very tactic to potentially persuade somebody, or even Hiccup, if he knows where the dragons have hidden to, to take him to the hidden world.
The front door of the house opened, and Morgan instantly toned down himself so he wouldn't be speaking to himself any more in front of his family. He didn't want to come across as somebody with madness, but the fact is, after waiting for over a year for the opportunity to potentially reunite with your favourite characters in your favourite universe, it'd be hard not to. And plus, Morgan's last few actions in the HTTYD world before returning here was why he was so intent on finding the Night Fury should he go back. The Light Fury was despicable to him, no matter how similar she looked, or how relevant she was. She's no girlfriend to Toothless, she's just an occupation for Toothless, and nothing more. Morgan was genuinely bursting at the beam about revealing his returning self to the dragons and everybody, but at the same time, he has to potentially consider that it'll be harder than the last time; the dragons will have gone into hiding, and to find them, Morgan will have to make his own path to their location, which'll most likely be from persuading somebody, maybe Hiccup.
After speaking with his mum briefly about general things, Morgan left his laptop on. He crossed off the images of the Light Fury, and the trailer of the Hidden World on the video website, and proceeded to go for a bike ride across his estate to calm himself down. Going on the bike helps Morgan to release his mind, and he'll have to do that right now, given that he's getting, to be blatant, pissed off at the Light Fury's intention of being with Toothless. Was it jealousy? Morgan didn't want to think it was, but it was hard to tell. Just before he went off to get his bike from the hallway, Morgan held up his Samsung Galaxy S5, slotted his earphones into his ears, and looked right at his laptop.
"I'll be back soon, and when I'm back, you're gonna be in for one hell of a treat, Toothless..." Morgan whispered.
It felt normal to talk to himself, despite just pledging to not do it in front of his family; after seeing all of his favourite characters in person, he felt like he could do it without it coming across as strange, as if he was talking to Toothless and the rest.
"I'm gonna find you, and I'll meet your little 'Nubless' as we here are calling her. I hope she's still scared and distrustful of humans by the time I'm back, because I ain't letting her stay with you, Toothless, fuck her, fuck her entirely..."
But Morgan was so confident with this plan of his, that he was still not thinking about the possibility that he might not even return to the HTTYD world ever again; it's been over a year, how does he know that he'll return? He didn't, but he had a good feeling about his chances, especially after the third film. He wanted to remind Toothless of where he was at when Morgan himself was there in his last moments before returning back to our world, and if that meant stepping up to the Light Fury, despite her being a capable, rapid and elusive dragon who could easily end Morgan's life, then so be it.
"We're in July, since I'm in the UK, I've only gotta wait till February...see you then, Toothless, see you then, Hiccup...get ready for me, 'Nubless'..." Morgan said, whispering, as he began to walk towards his bike in the hallway.
Morgan's new hairstyle he's been doing as of late had prompt him to consider keeping it for when (IF, emphasis on IF) he returns to the HTTYD world. Still, going on the bike was precisely what he needed, in the midst of getting ready to maybe return to the HTTYD world, to return to what he was doing there before he left.
