A/N: I found this one on my laptop today (I don't even remember that I wrote this before I found it), and I think I should post it. This one is just a short story of Hiccup and Valhallarama, cause I love family stories. =D
Sorry if there're some grammar mistakes, English is not my first language.

"Ew ... Mom, what is that?" Hiccup asked, a bit disgusted of what his mother is showing him on the plate. Hiccup always loves fish, but he doesn't know what the heck is on that plate now. Even he feels like he's about to throw up by just looking at it.
Valhallarama smiled warmly, "It is a roasted eel. Here, try it,"
"NO! It's disgusting!"
"Come on, Hiccup ... Just try it first, then you can decide if you like it or not,"
"I don't wanna eat it, Mommy," Hiccup whined over and over again, making Valhallarama desperate. It's snowing outside and the air is pretty cold. If her son doesn't eat tonight then he will caught flu in the morning.
Valhallarama kept trying to persuade him, when her husband came home with a sack full of fish. Her eyes lit with joy as if the gods just sent her someone to help. She looks at Stoick pleadingly, and when Stoick doesn't understand anything his gaze drops to the plate of eel and his pouting son. So, Stoick came up with his lamest idea of excuse. "Well, Gobber needs me, I'll be back later!" he said as he slammed close the door. Vallhalarama rolled her eyes with a heavy sigh; she's even more desperate than when she tried to give Hiccup a bath when he was way younger. "You both are just the same. Neither of you are helping!"
Hiccup chuckled silently. Oh yes, he won't forget his father's eyes when he tried to escape earlier.
"Just tell me why you don't want to eat it, dear," Valhallarama said softly, rather tired, actually.
"It's disgusting! I bet a dragon won't eat it too!" the gods would laugh when Hiccup finally found out that he was right about the dragon, but Valhallarama? Probably not so much.
Then, she came up with a plan. "How do you know that it's disgusting?"
"Because it looks ... disgusting?" Hiccup is a bit doubtful of his answer, because his mother looks at him with that glare that simply says 'I'm going to teach you something'. Oh great, Hiccup thought to himself.
"Well have you tried it? Did Gobber ever force you to eat one before?" Hiccup shook his head. "So you never tried it but you already judge it?"
Hiccup didn't respond, he was trying to keep himself pouting, but somehow the walls he build between him, his mom, and the roasted eel on the plate starts to crumble.
"It's not fair for you – and the eel," she said, as a matter of fact. Finally she throws the biggest weapon she has to make his wall crumbles, "If you don't know something, don't judge it!" she said, rather happily. That's it ... she thought as Hiccup raises his eyebrows, as if he thinks that there's some truth in her words. Finally, Hiccup sighs heavily and opens his mouth wide, signaling that he's ready to have his supper.
Valhallarama's heart is beaming with joy – mostly because she can finally have some sleep after this – the other time she felt like that was when she held Hiccup for the first time. That dinner is totally one of the things she's going to remember the most about her son. Because Hiccup had accepted her teachings, and she's very sure that he will pass it to everyone he cares about. She had her turn, and now it was Hiccup's turn.
Hiccup was actually blaming himself for giving up. Well, at least his mom is happy.
Although he did throw up in the end.
A/N: Well how was it? Tell me what you think. There're three more chapters, should I post them?
