Chapter 1

Hiccup's POV

I sighed as I packed my things, ready to leave Berk. I was prepared to leave my hometown. No one really accepted me anyways. Just a few months ago I was humiliated when I tried to ask Astrid out and she just laughed at my face, saying why would she ever like a talking fishbone like me. That lowered my self-confidence in myself. I know I'm not the most attractive guy out there, with my freckles, green eyes, auburn hair, and round nose. Not to mention that I was more on the scrawny side. Healthy, but scrawny nonetheless.

I was also picked on by my own cousin Snoutlout. Aren't we supposed to be a family you might ask? Tell that to Snoutlout because he was obviously not getting the message. Then I found Toothless and my life has gotten a bit better. People don't pick on me anymore, I'm being respected because I lost my leg, and I'm getting attention from the ladies.

Too much attention, that is. Because then, just two days ago, Astrid had asked me out. She told me that she had always had feelings for me and wanted to give it a try. I had a feeling she was lying to me however, and just wanted to be with me because I was the Dragon Trainer, so I politely refused and walked away. I've been trying to avoid her since then, because she looked so surprised that I had rejected her. It would have been hilarious if that stare wasn't directed at me. My dad realized the danger she could be to me and we decided to move to a town called Burgess.

"Hiccup, son, are you ready to leave now?" dad yelled at me.

"Dad, I thought we were supposed to be quiet. You know, so no one, especially Astrid, finds out where we left," I replied.

"Hiccup, ye seem to forget that we are Vikings. Vikings can sleep through anything!"

"Sure Dad. Whatever you say."

I dragged my heavy suitcase (leg didn't help) and we hurried to the airport. We knew that we couldn't leave Toothless behind so we went to the town witch and asked if she could turn Toothless into a cat. Once she did, we thanked her and hurried to the nearest ship to head to another town with an airport.

This was going to be a long trip. I just knew it.

Hours later….

I felt my eyes groggily open as I woke to someone shaking my shoulder. I glanced at the window and saw that we were preparing to land. I put my prosthetic back on and waited until the plane landed so I could get up and stretch. Then me and dad walked by our luggage to grab Toothless and called a taxi. Turns out that Dad had already bought a house over here to stay and there was a moving truck behind us too, so all he had to do was tell the guy the directions to the house and we were off.

As the driver turned a corner, I took a moment to look at the houses in the street. I decided to have a guessing game with Toothless to guess which one our house was. I gave up after a moment, when dad announced that our house was near the end of the street. It was a green and brown two floor house with a patio in front so I could read my books. A smile inched its way on my face as the driver parked in front of it. My dad beamed when he saw the smile on my face, which didn't happen often. The smile I made, not his.

"So how do ye like it so far?" he asked, as his smile grew wider.

"I think its perfect dad, thanks. So this is our new home now?" I replied.

"If you want it to be, then yes it is our new home, Hiccup. Glad you like it."

"Like it? I love it! C'mon Toothless let's go check this out!"

Before I went inside though, I took a double take as I saw a boy around my age next door and smiled at him. He smiled back, and then quickly closed the curtains, realizing he had been caught.

"Well Toothless, looks like we have neighbors, huh?" I said as Toothless just meowed and jumped from my arms to run inside the house.

I chuckled and followed soon after.

Jack's POV:

I had woken up this morning to the sound of a moving van coming up next door. I quickly got changed and headed downstairs to ask my aunt Tooth what was going on.

"Why don't you eat breakfast first then you can watch what's happening? How does that sound?" she said.

I quickly nodded and took out bread and Nutella. I had to remind Tooth to buy some more since it was almost empty. My cousins Aster and Sandy, my sister Emma, and uncle North all came down the stairs as well, wondering what to eat for breakfast.

"Mom what's all that noise outside? It woke me up," Aster said.

"Oh just some new neighbors is all," Tooth replied calmly.

"NEW NEIGHBORS? YES OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY! THIS IS SO EXCITING!" Emma yelled, as she jumped and down with enthusiasm.

Sandy couldn't really say anything because he's mute so he just jumped beside Emma with an excited look on his face.

"Now, now Emma. Remember what I told you about all that screaming in this house," Tooth scolded.

"Sorry auntie."

"Good. Now let's eat."

Minutes later….

After I was done eating, me and Aster decided to watch how our new neighbors looked like. We watched as the people in the moving truck moved the things inside the house. We then saw a man who was six feet tall, like uncle North. He even looked like him, all bulked up with a red hair instead of white. He was as scary as North too, which worried me and Aster because this guy seemed more serious. Then Tooth called Aster to help her with the dishes and he left. I stayed there watching and hoping for at least a cute girl or a guy my age to be friends with. Then I saw a scrawny kid with auburn hair, green eyes, and freckles all over his body carry a cat over to the porch. I watched him go toward the porch and I felt my stomach flutter the tiniest amount. I mistook it as excitement for another boy my age, not realizing that the boy was staring back at me with a smile on his face. I felt a blush creeping on my face as I smiled back and quickly closed the curtains, a goofy smile coming across my face as I realized that I needed to meet this boy.
