It is a cold winter morning in Berk. Hiccup heads up to wake Maria up. He couldn't see her in the bed so he walks over to Edda. Edda opens her eyes and looks at Hiccup, then lifts her wing to and Hiccup saw a sleeping Maria. Maria wakes up and sneezes.
"Are you okay?" Hiccup asks worry.
"It's so cold." Maria whispers.
"Didn't it snow where you're from?" Hiccup asks.
"No." Maria replies and Hiccup sighs.
"Come on." Hiccup said and Maria sighs as she got up and follows Hiccup down stairs. She then sits down and Stoick looks at her.
"I better go, take it easy." Stoick said getting up.
"Bye dad." Hiccup said and Stoick walks out. Maria shivered when the door was open. "You really don't like the cold." Hiccup said as he sits down, placing a bowl in front of her and Maria sighs.
"I never could stand the cold back home, but this, this is crazy cold." Maria said as she starts eating. "But I better get used to it." Maria adds.
"Don't worry." Hiccup assures her. Maria finished up and headed off with Edda and Toothless behind them. "Come on, the others will be waiting at the arena" Hiccup said and Edda nudges Maria.
"I'm fine." Maria whispers and Edda nods.
"Are you okay?" Hiccup asks.
"Yeah, don't worry." Maria replies. They made it to the arena to see the others waiting.
"Are you ok Maria?" Fishlegs asks as he walks over to her.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Maria replies.
"You look cold." Astrid said and Maria sighs.
"I didn't have snowy winters where I'm from." Maria tells them.
"Can we go to the Great Hall?" Fishlegs asks.
"I will be warmer there." Astrid adds.
"Sure, let's go." Hiccup said and they headed off. Maria sneezes again and sighs as Edda pushes her. Then Stoick walks over and sighs. "Hey dad." Hiccup said
"I need you to do a round and go as far out you can." Stoick tells Hiccup, then saw Maria shaking. "I guess Maria will be staying." Stoick then said and Maria sneezes.
"Yeah, can you take her to the Great Hall?" Hiccup asks.
"I should stay, you know, with Meatlug being so slow." Fishlegs said.
"Come on." Stoick said and they started walking.
"It is so cold." Maria whispers as she walks closer to Stoick who wraps his arm around her. Maria smiles. They made it to the Great Hall and they sat down. Fishlegs sat next to Maria with a book and Maria smiles.
"Okay, we will work more on your writing today." Fishlegs said as Stoick sits two cups down.
"How is everything going?" Stoick asks.
"I'm getting better with reading and spelling, not that good with writing and I'm really bad at combat training. Astrid has faith in me though and hasn't given up. Which is nice." Maria explains.
"That's good." Stoick said. "You just take it easy." Stoick said walking off.
"Let's get started." Fishlegs said.

Hiccup and the others are scanning the ocean and Hiccup sighs.
"Why are we here?" Snotlout asks. "We have better things to do."
"You just want to be with Maria." Astrid said.
"Just keep your eye out." Hiccup said.
"There is nothing here." Astrid said.
"Hey look!" Ruffnut shouts and Hiccup looks over to see a fleet of ships in the ice, close to Berk.
"They look abandoned." Astrid said and they went down.
"It's the Outcast." Hiccup said.
"But where are they?" Astrid asks and Hiccup look at her shock.
"We have to move." Hiccup tells them and they headed back.
