We Have Dragons

Hiccup was suddenly awaken by something breathing on me, and making a loud whimpering noise. It was Toothless. "Hey, Toothless," he said and Toothless licked his face. "I'm excited to see you, bud. Ahhh, my-. I'm in my house. You're in my house." His dragon began pouncing around his room after his best friend had woken up. "Does my dad know you're here?" Hiccup became nervous for a moment. "Ah, but-. Okay, Okay," he stated trying to calm down the joyful dragon. His new pet continued to prance around his room. "Toothless. Aw, come on," Just before he could get out of bed Hiccup noticed something. Oh, my god, he thought with much fear. One of his legs was gone and had been replaced with a something else. Toothless sniffed his new leg and watched as Hiccup struggled to walk. After almost falling on his face, the black dragon caught him and brought him back up. "Thanks, bud," he said as they reached the door. Once the door was open he saw a dragon growling outside and immediately slammed it shut. "Toothless, stay here." However, after he opened it again, he saw all of his classmates from dragon training flying around on their own dragons and having a good time. Completely blown away by what he saw, Hiccup brought his attention back to the rest of the village. They're dragons everywhere! He swore he was dead. The Vikings weren't killing them, but feeding them. "I knew it, I'm dead." All of the sudden his father walked up to him with a smile and began laughing.

"No, but you gave it your best shot, though," he said while placing his arm around his son. "So, what do you think?" Pointing toward the town?

"Look, it's Hiccup!" Someone shouted. Everyone would gather around to see the hometown hero who single-handedly changed the culture of the Viking legacy.

"Turns out all we needed was a little more of—this." Pointing at all of Hiccup.

"You just gestured to all of me." His father couldn't help but smile and nod his head.

"Well, most of you. That bits my handy work. With a little Hiccup flair, do you think that'll do?" Stated Gobber.

"I might make a few twinks." Everyone let out a small laugh. Astrid immediately walked up and punched Hiccup in the arm causing him to turnaround.

"That's for scaring me."

"Well—what, was it always gonna be this way-," just as he was about to finish, she leaned in and gave him a kiss. "I could get used to it," he stated as she exchanged a smile of approval.

"Welcome home," Gobber said as he handed Hiccup his gear. But for what?

"Night Fury! Get down!" Someone in the crowd yelled and Toothless jumped over and on people in the crowd to rejoin his friend. Toothless made a small gesture as he made it to the front causing people to laugh. Next thing everyone knows, Hiccup readied his dragon. The foot latch had been adjusted for him and Toothless' tail had been repaired. He looked up at Astrid and then back at his dragon.

"You ready?" Toothless nodded his head. While waiting for all of his friends to get ready, he couldn't help but stare around the village feeling proud of what he'd accomplished. Once they all took off he realized he wasn't dreaming, but was living the dream. Now, this town had a big upside rather then just bad qualities.

This is Berk. It snows nine months out of the year, and hails the other three. What little food grows here is tough and tasteless. The people that grow here are even more so. The only upsides are the pets. While other places have ponies, or parrots... we have dragons.
