Hey you people. This is my second story. ;) Let me tell me how this whole thing started. *clears throat* I've finally gotten the chance to watch HTTYD2 in theatres! It was so awesome! Music, so touching-almost made me cry :D, Plot, so amazing, gripping-mixed feelings, Characters, as awesome as always So, after actually watching it, I thought of how the lives of our favourite Vikings would be some years after all these events occurred. After some years when Hiccup becomes chief, his father is gone *sigh*, his mother has been found, Toothless discovers his Alpha Mode, Ruffnut has to choose between Fishlegs and Snotlout, Drago seems to have disappeared and the Vikings are old enough to take on responsibilities and perhaps, get on a job.

More less, this is my own version of how life in Berk would be after a couple of years. Also, there will be some OC in some chapters (if I ever manage to get to these), Rufflout (of course) and Hiccstrid (yeah…). Enjoy and review if you liked it or not. This chapter is just an ode to my story, "Changes". I hope you like it. *breaths out from hours of speaking* hehe

Oh! And just to know.

Hiccup, Astrid, Snotlout: 22

Ruffnut,Tuffnut,Fishlegs: 21

Chapter 1

"An ode to Changes"

It's been two years since Stoick's death shocked everyone, seven years since Hiccup met Toothless, since Berk established peace with the dragons. The whole gang has grown up, all turned into "responsible" Vikings. The past seven years have brought rapid changes in their lives. Apart from the necessary adjustment to living with dragons, the teens had to go through personal and interpersonal hurdles; Deaths, new friends, people from the past, ferocious battles, ruthless villains and, the most important, a brand new dragon world stretching in front of their eyes. All these consist of their past, their present and, probably, their future…

Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III, now called Chief, has left his old skinny "talking Fishbone" self behind and transformed into a more well-built, charming and diplomatic Viking. Nevertheless, he could, by no means, get rid of his dramatic flair and, surely, his affection to his dragon, his best friend, Toothless. Being a chief has proven to be quite a challenge for him, especially during the first year, when his father was no longer alive and Hiccup had drowned himself into a deep inward depression. However, his mother, Valka, and his sweet girlfriend, Astrid, who is meant to become his wife in some months, stood by his side and helped him get on his feet and make himself such a respectful chief.

And talking about Astrid, she's been acting as a role model for the little girls of the village. Astrid Hofferson, the mighty competitive female warrior of Berk, runs the Defense Dragon System, an association Hiccup has introduced to improve the defense system of Berk. Apart from her tough side, Astrid spends most of her free time teaching fighting methods at the young maidens of the village, when she doesn't struggle to cook a proper meal or do the house chores without breaking anything. Of course, spending quality time with Hiccup is never out of the plan. Besides, they've started living together.

Then, comes Fishlegs Ingerman. Although that husky shy boy has grown up and turned ten times his 15-year-old size, he is still the boy with a golden warm heart, friendly attitude, strong mind and extreme dragon knowledge. So, he decided to take head of the Dragon Academy and name himself Mr. Fishlegs, the great respectful teacher of the newcomers, riders of Berk. Regardless to say that all his students love him and some, don't even want the lesson to end. All these years, Fishlegs has dedicated his love life to winning Ruffnut's affection and he still does, without any results yet…

Tuffnut Thorston, the male half of the twins, the joker and the prankster (along with his sister) has now turned into a manlier version of his teenage self. Dreads and, of course, spikes on his boots mirror his manliness. However, what left everyone completely mouth agape is his sudden crave for organization and perfection. Hiccup, taking advantage of his friend's yet annoying habit, assigned him responsible of the Dragon Stables. He has to clean the stables along with the staff, take care of each dragon's needs, mind for any illnesses and monitor the fish importation. He's been doing excellent so far.

Ruffnut Thorston, the other side of the coin, the blonde female twin is currently working with Eret (yes Eret) at Gobber's workshop, making saddles, weapons and traps. She has never believed that she could become adept at a job like that and actually like it… or that she would work with Eret, her old crush, in the same room every day. Still, Snotlout and Fishlegs are fighting over her and, as always, she keeps ignoring them. But for how long? Her life has changed and will change rapidly in the future, that's for sure…

Talking about Snotlout, this heart-conquer is Hiccup's second hand, apart from Gobber. The Jorgenson boy is responsible for Berk Army System's function and continuous development. At last, his arrogant and selfish character can be of use somewhere. Now about his relationship with Ruffnut, these two don't seem to have something special, except friend zone. However, he could get really pissed off when she flirted with Eret. Now, that these two work together, Snotlout is ready to do anything in order to win her heart and show her his deep love. He doesn't want to be 'another guy passing by' and, surely, not see his 'princess' ending up with that 'fluffy' guy, Eret.

Okay, I'm done with the ode in my story. I hope you somehow got an idea of how the plot will develop. I will also upload a chapter of the main part to just get you more familiar with the storyline. I hope you enjoyed it and leave a review, if you wish. Also, mistake corrections, ideas, follows and favourite are more than welcomed. Thanks
