Disclaimer: I wish that I owned it, but sadly I do not.

My name is Hiccup Horrendous Haddock. I know what you're thinking, who in their right mind would name their child that? I'm not quite sure why my parents named me this, but that's what they did. You get used to it.

I live with my father, my mother died in a car crash not long after I was born. I can't even remember what she looks like, but my dad and I are doing just fine on our own.

Another thing you should know about me before reading this, I had no friends. None at all. It might have something to do with me being a social outcast. But it could have been worse. I could have been beaten up everyday, but I only got beaten up every once in a while, so I guess that's good.

I'd never told my dad about the bullies, worried he'd think I was some kind of weakling, as if my size didn't already tell him that.

My dad is a pretty important man, the mayor of our small town called Berk. One would never guess that I was his son, I didn't tell anyone and nobody had figured it out. Something tells me that if I had told everyone at school that I was the mayor's son, no one would've believe me.

My life may seem pretty bad to people who didn't live it, and maybe even people that have. But to me, it could be worse. My father may have wish I was bigger and stronger sometimes, but it's not like he hated me or anything. And I may have had no friends and be pushed around sometimes, but at least I was alive, right?

Some days were better than others, but I wasn't depressed or suicidal. I promised myself I'd never sink so low, never give those people the satisfaction of knowing they had won.

So, yes, my life was not amazing or even good, but at least it wasn't horrible. And I was pretty thankful for that.

Hey guys! I'm back with a new fanfiction! This is my first How to Train Your Dragon fic, but I have seen the movie like a hundred times, so it's all good. This is obviously centered more around the first movie, so keep that in mind. I also don't plan on having the Viking gang in this story for a little while, but they will eventually show up. Also, Snotlout is not going to bully Hiccup in this story because I just don't want him to. This is my version of the movie and I will write it how I wish. I really hope you guys enjoy it! I will be updating everyday so look forward to my chapters! Bye!
