A/N: Hey guys! This is a story my younger sister wrote for How to Train your dragon (she's slightly obsessed with it, but then again, I'm that way with Danny Phantom LOL). She's just slightly under the age limit so she asked if I would post it here for her. :) Please let her know what you think of her story by leaving your thoughts in the reviews section.

Hiccup couldn't help feeling worried as he approached the plaza where his father had called for a village meeting.

Fights had been breaking out at the drop of a hat these past few days, mostly between Viking and dragon.

Stoick had promised many people he would try to settle the petty disputes, but Hiccup was certain there wasn't a solution besides seven words: Build a bridge and get over it.

However, Stoick was absolutely positive nobody would be too pleased if he told them that, so he had turned to Gobber for advice.

Gobber had responded readily with a solution, and Stoick could've sworn he was joking. But no, Gobber was being serious.

And, come to think of it, it really hadn't been that bad of an idea, but Stoick knew the people of Berk would never agree.

Still, he felt he owed it to Gobber to at least propose the idea as a possibility.

So, as people trickled into the square in twos and threes, Stoick waited until he was certain everyone had arrived.

Then he cleared his throat loudly and began to speak. "I couldn't help noticing there has been some unpleasantness between the Vikings and the dragons these past few weeks."

Hiccup was standing beside the rest of the gang and he whispered to Astrid, "Don't tell me he's going to place another ban on the dragons..."

Astrid gave his hand a reassuring squeeze and smiled at him, but their attention was quickly recaptured by Stoick, who was continuing.

"Many of you seem dissatisfied with our new ways. For awhile there, it looked like dragons and humans really couldn't live together. But Gobber had an idea, even if it is a..." Stoick paused here and caught Gobber's eye in the crowd, trying to figure out how much criticism the man could take. "...A bit of an unusual idea, certainly not the normal way to settle things..."

"But...well, Gobber, you can tell them your idea..."

Gobber emerged from the crowd and hobbled up in front of the crowd and Stoick stood off to the side, watching but not interfering.

"Okay..." Gobber began pacing back and forth in front of the rapt audience. "I know what everyone is thinking...that we need a break from dragons, right?"

Plenty of people nodded, but Hiccup felt a spasm of horror. He thought he knew where this was going...

"Which is exactly why we should do the opposite!" Gobber said, flashing a smile that no one returned. "Instead of taking a break from dragons, we take a break from are several unclaimed islands in the area. We can camp out on them for two weeks! With our dragons alongside, of course," he added.

Everyone stared.

"A camping trip?" Hiccup repeated, thunderstruck. "He thinks a camping trip will help us?"
