Hiccup smiled fondly down at the little, warm snoozing lump under his shirt, right above his heart. The lump was his Seadragonus Giganticus Maximus, Toothless. Most Vikings would have been terrified at owning such a dangerous dragon. Hiccup, however knew his dragon will never harm him. For one thing, he was very young. Yet another thing, he was one of Hiccup's closest friends, though he would never admit it. He thought of how lucky it was none of the others knew Toothless's identity, or he will be killed and Hiccup exiled as a traitor. They all thought Toothless was a common or garden dragon.

Hiccup rolled his eyes heavenwards when he saw Snotlout, his cousin and enemy coming to him. "Hello, Useless!" He snarled, slapping Hiccup's chest. Right where Toothless's rear end was. At the sudden unexpected beating, Toothless shot right out the top of Hiccup's shirt like a little green rocket. Then again, he had grown somewhat since Hiccup got him.

He landed ungainly on his Master and friend's shoulder, and snarled. "Fos los ok diron!? Zu'u unt wah laag!*" Hiccup knew his friend was voicing his ire at being woken up.

"Oo Raxnu, dreh ni bo lost forahgol tantrum.**" He teased, smiling affectionately at the small dragon. Of all the Vikings in the village, Hiccup was the only one who could fluently speak dragonese. He could understand it since he was born.

Toothless snorted. "Zu'u los ni lost forahgol tantrum.***" However, he could not stop his soft smile. He was not one to act like this around humans but still, this was his closest friend.

"Horn creamer." The female voice made both boys stiffen. Toothless turned upset. It was Fireworm, Snotlout's monstrous nightmare. Nevertheless, Toothless knew she was not half as cool as he was, so he just ignored her.

"Ha, can't even teach your dragon to hunt. Either you're both useless or just you!" For Toothless, that was the last straw. Toothless stomped his small paw on Hiccup's shoulder, making him winch slightly. Toothless shot him an apologetic look, then turned back to Fireworm and her Master.

"Oo nu hi drehlaan nii! Hi gaav zey ko rinik volzah hahmoor!****" Then he changed, Not only did he fly at her that would have been bad enough. No, his whole body grew as he landed and stood on his hind legs. Soon a boy no older than Hiccup stood next to him.


Okay, this is my frist time writing book verse, so please feel free to review. Just don't send flames! (Ducks behind a hopefully fireproof piece of furniture.) (Peeks back out). Oh, and I made some translations for the dragonese at the bottom. (Ducks back).

*What is his problem! ? I am trying to sleep!

**Oh Toothless, do not go have a temper tantrum.

***I am not having a temper tantrum.

****Oh now you done it! You got me in a very bad mood!
