Time Warp

Ch. 1 - Change In The Wind

Three weeks later. . .

(Third-Person POV)

Hiccup woke up in the middle of the night to a cold chill. He was very confused since he had no window, and there was a fire fiercely burning downstairs in the fire pit. The house had a comfortable atmosphere through it that welcomed people when they stepped inside. Hiccup looked around to see if Toothless was playing a trick on him, but he was sound asleep. Hiccup got out of bed, and walked into the hallway, and immediately the warm air burst into his room like he just walked into an explosion.

He was confused how his room was the only room that wasn't warm.

Well. . .I mean it was, but there is no possible way that his room was at least 7 degrees colder than the rest of the house. Especially with the fire, and insulation of the house.

Hiccup left his door open, thinking that it would do the trick. Which, it pretty much did.

He fell into a deep sleep, having nothing else go awry for the rest of the night.

Hiccup was still asleep when Toothless got up. Now that he can fly by himself, he flies in the morning for at least half an hour or so, and then goes back into Hiccup's room to see if he got his tired butt out of bed.

And to Toothless' surprise, Hiccup had actually gotten out of bed. This was the first day EVER that Hiccup had gotten up without his 'help'.

"Hey bud. I was wondering where you were. I looked around the house for about 5 minutes, and didn't see you. So I knew that you must of gone for a short flight, so I went ahead and got ready for the day."

Toothless still stood there, shocked, and mouth agape.

Hiccup laughed and walked over, closing Toothless' mouth.

"Keep your mouth closed bud, or a Terror will fly in."

Toothless snapped out of it, and saw Hiccup walk downstairs. He was acting. . . .different today.

(Toothless' POV)

I followed him outside, and saw him walking towards Astrid.

"Oh brother. . ." I thought.

I was right next to him when he was talking with Astrid.

"Hey Astrid. . .Ummm. . .What are you doing?"

"Umm. . .Talking to you. . ."

"Oh Yeah! Right! Because if you're not talking to me then you're not talking to anyone, and if you're not talking to anyone then how are you talking? And I don't really know why I asked that, but I think you're hot! O My Gods! I just remembered that I have to go somewhere! Bye!"

He started to walk away, when Astrid grabbed his shoulder.

"Hiccup? Are you alright? You're not acting like yourself today."

"What me? Yeah. Yeah! I'm fine. Just. . .not enough sleep last night."

"Well, alright. Later Hic."

"Yeah, bye."

Hiccup looked down at me, and scratched behind my ears, almost putting me into a coma of joy. It just felt so good.

He stopped soon after, and I was a little upset that he did so. He turned to me and spoke.

"Toothless. I'm sorry if I've been acting weird today, but today is a special day! And I'm just really excited about it!"

I turned to him with slight shock.

"My birthday is today!" I thought. "If he found out, then HOW did he find out? I never told or showed him."

He looked at me confused, and followed my eyes. When he saw that I was staring at nothing in particular, he turned back to me with curiosity in his face.

"What is it bud? What are you thinking about?"

I snapped out of my train of thought and looked at him.

"If only I could talk to you!" I thought.

Just then, Jade walked towards us.

"Hiccup. I have what you wanted."

He got up and kindly took the necklace from her.

"Thanks Jade."

She smiled a weird smile after Hiccup turned around. It was like she did something that Hiccup didn't know about.

You see, two weeks back, I accidentally slammed into a rock, and one of my black scales came off. Hiccup picked it up, and had that 'I've got an idea!' expression on his face.

He ran over to Jade's house, with me right behind him. When we got there, Hiccup knocked on the door, and Jade answered it.

"Hey Jade. I know you're an expert healer, but do you think you can fashion a necklace from Toothless' scale?"

She took it from Hiccup's hands, and examined it.

"Yes! I certainly can! And don't worry, it won't cost you a thing."

"Jade, I've got to pay you something. ."

"No Hiccup! I will not accept the money if you try to give it to me. This a gift from me to you."

"Well, alright Jade."

I followed Hiccup back to the house while we were playfully shoving each other.

(Jade's POV)

"Hiccup and Toothless. . ." I said. "Such a legend. They are the closest friends I've ever seen in Human and Dragon. Their friendship is unbreakable, immovable, and invincible. But the one thing that many dragons and their riders don't have is communication."

I looked down at Toothless' black scale that Hiccup gave me. I looked out the window to see the pair playfully shoving each other. And at one point, Toothless tackled Hiccup. They were such good friends, probably the strongest friendship I've ever seen in my life.

Then. . .I had a revelation.

"What if," I thought, "What if I could give Hiccup and Toothless that communication? What if I can let them talk to each other?"

Then, a smile spread across my face.

"I know what I'll do." I said to myself.

And I immediately got to work. . .

(Toothless' POV)

When we got back to his house, Hiccup turned towards me and showed me the necklace. It looked a little bit different. My scales were pure black, but this one had the slightest hint of green.

He looked at me and said

"What do you think, you like it?"

I shook my head.

"Yeah, it looks alright." I said, already knowing that Hiccup wouldn't understand me.

"Alright, let's see how I look with it on."

He put it on, and we both looked at it as it glew a greenish-black for a few split-seconds.

"That was weird." I said.

"Yeah, tell me about it." Hiccup replied.

I shot up and stared at Hiccup who didn't understand that he just knew what I said.

Just to make sure this wasn't a freak accident, I asked him a question.

"Hiccup, where did you find me after you shot me down?"

"What? Oh, well. . .I found you just South of Ravenpoint." he replied.

I stared at him with mouth agape, and he shot up as well.

"Toothless?" he asked in anxiety. "Did I just. . .?"

I looked at him, with excitement in my eyes.

"Yes! You did!"

Hiccup made a smile, and fainted.

I walked over to him, and said,

"Typical."

I picked him up and walked back to his house. But on the way there, he woke up, and I set him on the ground.

I sat back on my hind legs like a bunny, and looked at him when he finally stood up.

"Toothless. I'm sorry. I guess I was overly excited about me being able to speak dragonese and talk to you. . ."

"Ya think?" I said sarcastically.

He laughed at me and said,

"Hah! Yeah, i guess. . ."

I smiled at him and said,

"Is this what you were excited about?"

He turned towards me and said,

"The necklace. . .yes. But, I never expected that it would let me talk to you."

We both sat there quiet for about a minute or so when I asked,

"You want to go flying?"

"Sure! Let's go!" he said excitedly.

He jumped on my back and we were off into the sky.

We flew for a while, enjoying the gentle breeze and salt-watery air that swept over our bodies.

"Hey Toothless! You want to go to play a prank on Snotlout?"

I smiled deviously.

"Yeah! Let's scare the crap out of him!"

Hiccup directed me to where Snotlout was. He was next to Astrid's house, showing off.

And where there was Snotlout, there was his Nightmare - Blaze.

We landed in a dark shadow of the house, and I called Blaze over.

"Hey pssst! Blaze! Come here!"

Blaze walked over and looked at us curiously.

"Yeah Toothless? What do you want?"

"We're going to play a prank on Snotlout, but we need your help."

Blaze looked over at Snotlout who was showing off his muscles to the vikings. And he looked back at us with that devious smile of his.

"Count me in. . ."

"Great! Now, Hiccup will fill you in."

Blaze looked at me confused.

"He can't understand us Toothless, how is he going to explain anything?"

Hiccup got off of me, and stood right in front of Blaze.

"For your information, I can explain what's going to happen, and yes. I can understand Dragonese."

Blaze looked like he was about to run away screaming.

"Umm...Hiccup? You can understand me? Well then, Let's see. . .Am I orange?"

"Yes, I can understand you." Hiccup said.

"Oh, and yes, you're orange." he added.

Blaze stood there with mouth agape like I did when Hiccup could talk to me.

He closed Blaze's mouth while saying,

"Keep your mouth closed. A Terror will fly in."

Blaze snapped out of it and asked Hiccup.

"Okay what's the plan?"

Hiccup smiled deviously and said,

"Okay. . . This is what we do."

(Third-person POV)

After Snotlout was done showing off to basically everyone, he turned to see that Blaze wasn't there.

"Blaze! Where did you go you overgrown lizard!" he hollered.

He walked around until he saw Blaze sitting next to Toothless next to Hiccup's house.

Snotlout didn't see Hiccup anywhere, and he looked back at the two dragons.

Toothless seemed ticked-off at him, and so did Blaze.

"Blaze! What are you doing over here?" he asked, trying to hide his rising fear.

Blaze just ignored him, and started a quick conversation with Toothless.

After the conversation, Toothless got up, and started to walk towards Snotlout in an assaultive way.

With every step the Night Fury took, Snotlout backed up one.

Then, Blaze walked next to Toothless, having the same expression on his face.

"Hiccup! Where are you?"

Snotlout was now scared. Especially when Hiccup was nowhere to be found.

Snotlout saw Toothless and Blaze begin to come after him, and he turned, speeding out of there as fast as he could.

But, since Snotlout is not as agile and fast as Hiccup in a longshot, it didn't take that much time for Toothless and Blaze to catch up to him.

They cornered him in a dead-end canyon.

"Hiccup! Where the heck are you!" Snotlout yelled with fear.

At that, Blaze looked at Snotlout, and then to Toothless, and walked off towards the canyon exit.

"Blaze! Where are you going? There's a crazy Night Fury in front of me!"

Blaze ignored him and walked out of the canyon, and climbed up the outside edge of the canyon. When he got to the top, he saw Hiccup there according to the plan.

"Alright Blaze, you did good. Now let's really see if we can break him!"

Hiccup walked over to the ledge of the canyon that overlooked it, and quietly called Toothless.

Since Toothless' ears are much more sensitive than Snotlout's, Toothless heard Hiccup and Snotlout didn't.

With Toothless' attention, Hiccup gave the go-ahead, and Toothless nodded.

With extreme concentration, Toothless changed into the Ultimate Night Fury, scaring the living daylights out of Snotlout.

Toothless ran over and pinned Snotlout to the ground, snarling.

Blaze and Hiccup were trying their best not to laugh yet, while Toothless just pretended to be furious with Snotlout.

Toothless reared up as of he was going to blast Snotlout with his fireball, but he did the same thing he did to Hiccup all those months ago.

He screamed a deafening scream at Snotlout, and now the teen was about to cry.

Toothless got off of him, and flew up to where Blaze and Hiccup were, ans saw the two of them rolling around from laughing so hard.

Seeing this, Toothless concentrated, turned back into his regular Night Fury form, and joined in on the laughter.

They were all laughing for about 10 minutes when Snotlout called for Blaze.

"Well, go on. . .go to your brave boy. . ." Toothless said sarcastically, earning a chuckle from the both Hiccup and Blaze.

Blaze smiled, and flew down to where Snotlout was.

"BLAZE! Where were you you overgrown lizard! Hiccup's crazy Night Fury changed into some kind of big Night Fury thing, and almost killed me! Why did you walk away?"

Toothless and Hiccup flew down next to Blaze moments later, making Snotlout cringe with fear.

"What's wrong Snotlout? Not as tough as you think?" Hiccup said, earning laughter from the two dragons.

"Hiccup? You saw that? But. ..but. . ." Snotlout said with his eyes growing from realization.

"Hiccup! That WAS NOT funny! You're such a jerk!" Snotlout angrily said, earning a warning growl from Toothless.

"Snotlout. Take a joke. I mean seriously, you've been playing jokes similar to this one on everyone, so I decided for you to have a taste of your own medicine."

Snotlout gazed at Blaze then Toothless, then Hiccup realizing that he was defeated.

"Fine! Okay! I get it. . .I deserved it. ."

The trio smiled triumphantly over Snotlout, while he walked over towards Blaze.

He got on his back, and left for Berk without another word.

(Toothless' POV)

"Well, that went well, don't you think Toothless?" Hiccup said with a satisfied smile on his face.

"Yeah. You should've seen his face when I turned Ultimate Night Fury! I thought he was going to pee his pants. . ." I said with a smile on my face.

"Hahaha! Yeah. . .I thought that he was going to cry for his mom or something. . ." He said chuckling.

"Heh. .Well, we still have half a day, what do you want to do Hiccup?" I asked.

"Well, I thought we could go flying for a bit before we head back to Berk."

"Okay, where to?" I asked as he was getting on my back.

"Let's go to Ravenpoint. I want to check out some of the plants there. Jade told me they make a really good seasoning for fish."

My mouth watered a little when I heard Hiccup say 'Fish'.

"Alright bud, let's go!"

I jumped off the ground, and shot into the sky completely vertical. I leveled out when we were high enough, and I headed towards Ravenpoint.

"Hey Toothless?" Hiccup asked.

"Yeah?"

"Don't you feel that? It's like there's a change in the wind."

I concentrated and felt it too.

"Yeah, it's like there's electricity in the air."

I didn't like this subject so much, so I decided to change it.

"So. . .What kind of plants are at Ravenpoint?"

"Oh, Well. . .I think we call it the Markow plant."

"That's a weird name for a plant." I said.

"Tell me about it. . ."

I smiled at him, and he said,

"Toothless! There! Land there!"

I looked where he was pointing, and saw a bush with orange-red buds.

I landed next to it, and Hiccup jumped off of me, and started to collect the buds.

He only took half if what was there to save the rest for later or something. . .

He jumped on my back, and said,

"Alright Bud! Let's go home!"

I shot back into the air, and flew towards Berk.

On the way there, the air felt more and more electric with every passing moment.

We ignored it, and landed in the village square where everyone usually is.

Hiccup jumped off of me, and headed towards our house, when all of a sudden, a large vortex opened above the town's square.

It wasn't even natural, it just. . . .appeared. Out of thin air!

I was so confused, because the only person who was being pulled towards it was Hiccup.

"Holy crap! HICCUP!" I screamed as I jolted myself out of my confusion.

"Toothless! Help me!" I heard Hiccup shriek.

I was full of fear, for this was exactly the way it looked in my dream. . .

In my dream, Hiccup said the same exact thing, and this was the same exact spot where the portal would open.

I couldn't believe that I had a dream that basically predicted the future, but in my dream, I was sucked in along with Hiccup, but in the real world, he was only pulled in.

I flew up and tried to grab him, but I only managed to grab his necklace.

I tried to pull him to my forearm, but the necklace snapped from his neck, making me fall to the ground.

I landed and looked at the necklace in my paw, and looked back towards the vortex to see Hiccup being sucked into it.

"NO!" I screamed. . .but of course, nothing happened.

And I just watched in horror as Hiccup disappeared into the vortex, along with the vortex dissapearing into thin air.

The entire village stood there, not believing what they just witnessed.

I looked down at the necklace and quietly cried.

My best friend was taken from me, and all I have to remember him with is his necklace. . .

(Hiccup's POV)

"Toothless! Come back!" I screamed, knowing that it wouldn't change anything.

I was being transported in mid-air through some kind of vortex, because there was swirling colors everywhere, and I saw colors that I never knew existed! But I was still scared out of my mind.

I almost burst into tears, since my best friend was taken from me.

I don't know how long I was in the vortex, but just as soon as it started, the vortex vanished.

I looked around, expecting to see Toothless there, longing for me to come back. And that I would run to Toothless, and hug him the tightest I've ever hugged him before, but I could not believe what I saw.

I recognized exactly where I was.

I was at the dragon raid of December, where on that fateful day, I shot down Toothless. . .

I knew that because I was on my catapult that shot Toothless down all those months ago.

Then, my eyes shot open.

"Wait! This was FOUR MONTHS AGO!"

"What? Hiccup goes back into the past? What will happen? Next chapter coming up!"
