One: Fishing Trip

=Hiccup's POV=

My name is Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third, only son to Stoick and Valka Haddock. My parents and I live on an island called Berk; it's twelve North of hopeless and a couple degrees South of freezing to death. My family and I are members of a Viking Tribe; the Hairy Hooligans. Now, my father is the Chief of the Tribe, and my mother, his Chieftess. What does that make me? The Heir. One day, I would be Chief with a wife beside me, and maybe a few kids. Who knows? Right now, I'm only sixteen and not worried about any of that.

"HICCUP! Get to the Great Hall, now!" my father's voice called from below.

"But my flight with Toothless?!" I protested.

"You get fifteen minutes, then I want you on the ground and in the Hall!" Stoick yelled. I nodded and took off with my dragon. Yes, there were dragons residing with humans; we have peace between our species. Of course, it wasn't always that way. Last year, Vikings and Dragons were at war with one another because the dragons used to raid us; stealing food and setting things on was because of me seeing the truth that they were only trying to survive that the battle ended after Toothless and I defeated Red Death. Oh, you want to know who Toothless is? Well, he's my best friend, and he's also a dragon. A Night Fury to be exact. Now, this dragon was likened the unholy offspring of lightning and death itself, rumored to never allow it's victims to live.

However, I shot one down during a raid, and nobody believed me. See, I was known as the worst Viking that the Tribe had ever seen because I'm not all into killing and fighting; I like to invent. Anyway, back to the story. After everyone dismissed me, I went looking for the Night Fury, and when I had the chance to kill it to prove I could be like the others, I wouldn't do it. Instead, I let the Night Fury go, and then he let me go after roaring in my face. After that, I only got more curious about why he allowed me to live. So for a few weeks, I was continually learning about the dragon since it was trapped in a cove below Raven Point on Berk. I discovered that me shooting him down cost him his left tail fin so he couldn't fly away.

Over those short weeks, we bonded and became friends. The first person to learn I had befriended a dragon was Astrid Hofferson; she is my age and strives to be the best she can be. Her parents are Asvora and Colby Hofferson. Oh, and Astrid is bonded to a female Deadly Nadder she named as Stormfly.I was the first Viking to bond though, everyone else got their dragons after peace was restored. See, Toothless and I sort of kidnapped Astrid to show her that dragons weren't what everyone believed. Subsequently, we ended up finding the Dragon's Nest, something that Vikings had been after since they first sailed to these islands three hundred years ago. All in all, after Toothless came to save me in the kill ring during my final exam to kill a dragon because I placed first in dragon training, all the truth came out.

For a bit of time; I had lost everything. My parents, my Tribe, even Toothless because the Vikings took him to find the nest. However, Astrid pulled me up, and I trained Snotlout, Ruffnut, Tuffnut, Adelaide, Astrid, and Fishlegs how to train and ride dragons. We rushed to the nest, then I saved Toothless, and we went up against Red Death; an enormous Stoker Class dragon that sat in the corona of a volcano. This dragon could emit a homing signal to control the others, and that is why they raided; there was no other choice but to serve Red Death or be killed by it. In the end, I escaped the fight by only losing my left leg. It was taken by Toothless who bit it off saving me from the explosion. I suppose that it made us even; I took Toothless tail fin when I shot him down, and he took my leg to save me. I walked with a metal prosthetic now, and I had built Toothless a saddle and flying rig that let me control his left tail fin so he could fly again.

Anyway, after I woke up two weeks later; my parents told me dragons were welcome on Berk, and we would have peace with them. That was a great day, and things have been perfect. It had been a year since all that happened, and we've even spread some of the peace to other Tribes. At the moment, I was flying on Toothless, and we were enjoying the sunset together. A morning and night flight; it was just our thing. My father summoned me to the Great Hall, but I didn't want to go.

"So, should we just bail, Toothless?" I asked him. Toothless warbled at me, and I sighed understanding what he was trying to tell me; go and get it over with. Toothless and I couldn't talk the same language, but I knew he understood me, and I got picked up a lot of what he was trying to suggest, hint at, or say."Yeah, I guess you're right," I replied to him while rubbing his head. After the flight, Toothless landed outside the Great Hall as I climbed off his back, then sent him across the way to my parent's house so he could eat. I pushed the door open and walked in to see my mom, dad, then my friends and their parents too. I already felt like I wouldn't like whatever this meeting was about.

"There you are," Valka smiled.

"I did mention I was taking my night flight with Toothless," I reminded.

"Well, now that you are here, have a seat so we can get started," Stoick informed. I took a seat next to Astrid as all of us looked up at my dad. "Now, there's an old tradition the group of us adults do every year; we all take a boat, and go fishing together," Yeah, I didn't like where this was going.

"And we feel that now you kids are older, you should be getting some time off the island. So this year, you will all be joining us on the annual trip," Spitelout, Snotlout, and Adelaide's father smiled proudly.

"We go for two weeks, just sailing around the Archipelago. And sometimes stop in to visit the other islands. We're leaving in three days, so you'll need to pack up, and we leave before sunrise while the sea is calm," Valka informed.

"This shouldn't be so bad with the dragons," Ruffnut stated as her twin brother, Tuffnut, did the same. My friends were an odd bunch, and three of them were my cousins. So we have the twins, Ruffnut and Tuffnut Thorston who are fifteen-years-old. The two of them share a male Hideous Zippleback named Barf and Belch. Ruffnut rides the neck belonging to Barf, which is the right head, and Belch is the left; ridden by Tuffnut. The twins are a troublesome duo but have proven to get the job done when they work together. Their parents are Sharpnut and Magna Thorston.

Next, we have Astrid, but I already mentioned about her. She is the only daughter of Asvora and Colby Hofferson; rides a female Nadder named Stormfly, and she is sixteen like me. Did I also say that I had a massive crush on her? Well, I do, but she only sees me as a friend I guess. My cousins are Snotlout, Adelaide, and Fishlegs. Snotlout and Adelaide Jorgenson are two years apart, and their parents are Spitelout and Freda is fifteen, and Adelaide is thirteen. Spitelout is my father's adoptive brother, and when he married Freda, he took her last name of Jorgenson. Snotlout is bonded to a male Monstrous Nightmare that he calls Hookfang, and Adelaide has a female Razorwhip named Graythorn. Now, Fishlegs who is fifteen also, has a different backstory.

Fishlegs Ingerman is the son of Alvin and Termagant. However, initially, Alvin was the Chief of Outcast Island. Also, Fishlegs is mine, Snotlout, and Adelaide's third cousin because we all share the same Great-Great-Great Grandparents; Speedifast 'Grimbeard the Ghastly' and Chinhilda Haddock. Those two had three sons; Thugheart, Chucklehead, and Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Second. Hiccup the Second was killed by Grimbeard after being tricked to do so by his eldest son, Thugheart. Chucklehead was the fourth Chief of Berk and married Buffintruda; together they had one son; Squidface the Terrible who is Stoick and Spitelout's father. Remember though, Spitelout was adopted into the family. And also, I have five aunts on my father's side.

Those five are Brenda Bigarms the Seventh, Egginbreeza, Burly, Gladioli, and Glugga Haddock. My grandmother was Brenda Bigarms the Sixth. Anywho, Thugheart Haddock was exiled when the truth came out that he lied to his father to get Hiccup the Second out of the way. Thugheart formed the Outcast Tribe and was it's first Chief. Thugheart married Sychofanta and had one son; Algarick Ogglebert, which became the name Thugheart adopted once he was banished, and stripped of his title as a member of the Haddock family. Algarick went on to marry a witch, Excellinor, and together they had Alvin Ogglebert. Now, Alvin ran away from Outcast Island and resided on Berk; he became great friends with my dad. However, after Stoick became Chief, the two disagreed on how to handle a raid, so my dad cast him out. With nowhere left to go, Alvin became Alvin the Treacherous and took back his birthright, becoming Chief of the Outcasts.

Here is where it gets a little crazy. Alvin fell in love with a woman named Termagant Holgerson, and when she became pregnant with Alvin's child; he knew that he had to better for his family. Alvin returned to Berk, and pleaded for my father to turn over the banishment so he could do right by his wife and son, Stoick agreed. Alvin turned command over to Savage, then moved to Berk and adopted the last name Ingerman just as their son, Fishlegs, was born. So yes, Snotlout, Adelaide, Fishlegs, and I are all related because of Grimbeard and Chinhilda. Interesting bloodline, right? However, I was brought from the train of thought regarding my friends and families origins to hear my father clear his throat.

"That's the other thing. You will not be bringing your dragons," Stoick said as all our heads snapped in his direction. "We've all been doing this since before dragons, and we used to go with our families as a group. That will not change just because there is peace with the dragons now. Your dragons stay on Berk and will be okay for two weeks without you. Gobber is gonna take care of them,"

"Okay, Gobber can feed them and do their stalls, but what about flying them? No one can fly Toothless except me," I countered quickly. "And what if something goes wrong on the trip, we should have at least one dragon for emergencies. It might as well be Toothless; he's the fastest,"

"The boy has a point, Stoick. Remember that one trip when we were about twelve, and got attacked by dragons? We had to kick our way to Bog-Burglar Islands to get a ship home," Colby, Astrid's father reminded.

"What if we just had a Terrible Terror messenger, Stoick?" Astrid offered.

"I suppose that will be okay. Alright. Hiccup, you will bring Sharpshot, but the rest stay," Stoick ordered firmly. The group of us teenagers groaned heavily about the decision, but I guess we couldn't get out of it. I didn't see how this could get any worse than being forced on the upcoming fishing trip.
