The Day Dragon Fruit was introduced to Berk
Ruffnut burst into her house excitedly. "Hey brother! Look what I just acquired from Trader Johann!"
Tuffnut eyed the object in his sister's hands. "What's this? A fancy looking fish?"
"No! It's called Dragon Fruit!"
Tuffnut was delighted. "There's a fruit named after dragons? Cool!"
"I know!"
"Very colorful too. I didn't know fruit looked like this. Where'd Johann get it from?"
"Who cares? Shall we eat it?"
"Yes, let's—wait!" Tuffnut held up a finger. "You know what would make it even better? What would make it the most amazing fruit in existence, sister? Let's boil it!"
"Boil fruit? Sounds good to me! But we'll have to get the skin off first."
"All right, you get the skin off and I'll get the water going."
As they went to work they began to speculate what the Dragon Fruit would taste like. As they talked about it they started, unintentionally but in a habit forming way, to refer to it simply as the 'Dragon', rather than the 'Dragon Fruit'.
"Ha! The Dragon sure looks weird with no skin on."
"Wonder what it'll taste like when boiled."
"The water's ready!"
"And the Dragon's all ready to be put in it!" Ruffnut announced.
"Stand back, sister of mine! Enjoy your hot bath, Dragon!" Tuffnut grinned as he prepared to toss the fruit into the pot from a distance of five paces. At that moment Astrid walked in.
"Hey guys, have you seen Stormfly? I can't find her any—"
"Hey Astrid!" Tuffnut cried, not listening to her question, "We've just skinned the Dragon and now we're gonna boil it and eat it! Want some?"

Snotlout and Fishlegs were playing Maces and Talons, with Hiccup watching, when a loud series of screams suddenly jolted them out of their concentration.
"Dear Odin, what's that?" Snotlout exclaimed.
They listened for a moment.
"Sounds like Astrid is attacking the Twins again," Fishlegs observed.
They listened another moment, shrugged their shoulders, and went back to their game.
