Authors' Note:

Razor: And we're back!

Nuse: We're not so doing well on views. Maybe its' because we forgot to put characters in the characters section.

Ninja: Because everyone in this fandom seems to be obsessed with Hiccup and Romance. No generalization, it's the truth.

Nuse: Yea, a lot of the fanfictions here are romance...it's kind of annoying when you're trying to find a decent adventure fanfiction about Hiccup and Gang. And over half of them are about Hiccup shipping.

Razor: BUT, we're not going to insult other FanFic writers, are we? We acknowledge the fact that people like Romance and good for them. It's just that it overpopulates 90% of 's stories.

Ninja: I feel like one of those rare adventure-fantasy-mystery writers.

Razor: You can think anything you want. I'm assuming that since we put Hiccup in the characters section, we might get more views. It's just that I'm way too proud of this story for my own good.

Nuse: Yup, you can say that again.

Razor: So anyway, enjoy the story!

DISCLAIMER: We do not own HTTYD, but we are planning to take over it.


CHAPTER 2: LOST AND THEN FOUND

Ruffnut crossed her arms as her brother climbed the tree. She was upside down and scowling at the fact that she had to be the one tossed into the tree with her foot wedged in between a tangle of branches. Her brother, Tuffnut, had been tossed into a thorn bush, along with Barf and Belch, who was currently knocked out. It had taken him almost half an hour for him to pick out all the thorns and get his bearings back before he decided to climb up the tree to get his sister down. Ruffnut had tried to pull her leg out of the tree, but she couldn't do it. It hurt too much and she got dizzy every time she tried for too long.

"Would you hurry up?" she asked impatiently.

"Be quiet will you? I'm trying to concentrate, this isn't easy as it looks." sniffed Tuffnut as he climbed another branch.

"Well concentrate faster." She huffed.

Suddenly, the bushes rustled and Tuffnut grew tense. He stood perfectly still and watched the bushes. Ruffnut held her breath. A plump figure tumbled out, along with a large brown creature.

"Quiet. Don't move. There's a giant fat monster that rolled out of the bushes." Tuffnut said, holding up one hand to silence her.

"Like I can anyway." She retorted rather loudly. She looked at the figure for a moment. "It's just Fishlegs."

"Meatlug! We found someone!" exclaimed the plump Viking. Then he saw the twins in the trees and frowned. "Um, are you guys okay?"

"You know, I'm just hanging around." Said Ruffnut. "Until this idiot brother of mine decides it's time for me to stop."

"Haha, very funny." Tuffnut said sarcastically. "Do you want to get down or not?"

"Just get it over with." answered Ruffnut tiredly.

It was clear that his sister was losing strength and hanging upside down wasn't going to help with that either. He shimmied over to where his sister's leg was wedged in between the branches. He kicked at some of them, causing them to fall to the ground. He tried gently to push the leg out, but it wasn't working. So he kicked it as hard as he could

"Ow! What are you doing up there, dragon-breath?" she shouted angrily.

"I'm testing something. It didn't work, so yea. It's more stuck than it looks." Tuffnut yelled back. She looked up and glared at him. He broke off a branch and used it as leverage. After a couple of attempts, the leg slipped out and Ruffnut landed on a ground with a thud. "Hey, I did it." He smirked as he stared at his sister.

"Ruffnut are you okay?" asked Fishlegs as he approached the Viking teen.

Suddenly, Ruffnut stood up. It was so sudden that the movement startled Fishlegs who fell backwards. She had a stone in her hand. She threw it at Tuffnut who was standing precariously on the tree. The rock hit him square in the chest. The teen toppled over and fell to the ground, grunting in pain.

"Okay now we're even." She stated and started to brush the dust and dirt off her clothes.

"I don't think we should be fighting now."sSuggested Fishlegs. He was honestly afraid of the twins, especially when they were angry. "We should try finding Hiccup."

"Nu-uh." said Tuffnut, pointing at his Zippleback who was still unconscious. "They're still knocked out. We won't leave our dragons behind."

Fishlegs lumbered over to the unconscious Zippleback and saw that they were indeed knocked out. He called out to Meatlug who obediently wandered over to him. He stood on his back and saw that there were no serious injuries. Good thing he had learnt from Gobber about a bit of Dragon First-Aid. He searched his clothes.

"What are you doing?' asked Ruffnut. "Are you itchy?"

"You look kind of like a Monkey." Snickered Tuffnut. Ruffnut laughed a bit.

Fishlegs looked at them grumpily. "I'm looking to see if I have any dragon nip in any of my pockets. A small dose could probably wake up your dragon." He said simply. He pushed his stubby hand and his fingers found a smooth wet object. Taking it out, he saw that it was bits of Dragon Nip. He leaned over and rubbed the dragon nip on the Zippleback's noses. Instantly, it's eyes opened and it purred contently.

"They're awake!" said Tuffnut ecstatically. He ran over to greet Belch, the head which he rode.

"Barf! You're okay!" Ruffnut ran over to her head. She suddenly tripped and landed face-planted on the ground. Barf leaned over and picked up the fallen teen with his teeth. He helped steady her, purring joyfully that his rider was okay. "Thanks ,Barf."

"Nice to see you as graceful as ever, sis." Chuckled Tuffnut.

"Well, at least I'm not the one with billions of thorns covering their but." Retorted Ruffnut.

"At least I wasn't hanging from a tree for half an hour-"

"Because someone decided it was more important to get thorns out of their butt to help their sister."

"Oh yea? Well you-"

"Guys stop it!" The twins turned to look at Fishlegs, who was timidly and awkwardly watching the sibling rivalry. "We need to find Hiccup. He's probably somewhere close by." Tuffnut started towards the Zippleback "You can't ride your dragons. They're to tired."

Tuffnut veered around and walked off in no particular direction. "Alright, we'll walk. Let's go find the, Dragon conqueror." Said Tuffnut grinning.

Fishlegs nervously followed behind. Meatlug lumbered behind. "Do you know where you're going?"

"Not a clue, but don't worry. My Thor-given instincts tell me to go this way."

"We're going to die." Ruffnut chimed in. She stuck out her tongue at her brother and followed Fishlegs.

She felt his brother's pressing glare, but she didn't look back. After a while, Tuffnut took lead of the small group of dragons, going no particular direction. Ruffnut just followed the footprints made by Meatlug, she was too busy to look up. She was carefully picking out a safe route for her to follow because her foot hurt. She stayed silent though. Barf and Belch was right behind her and she knew that if she fell, they'd be ready to steady her.

"Would you two hurry up? Gothi can walk faster than you two put together." Shouted Tuffnut. When she looked up that he was a ways away. She slightly quickened her pace.

"Maybe if you slowed down a bit." Huffed Ruffnut angrily. "Maybe we'd be able to walk faster."

"Meatlug and I are not built for speed." Added Fishlegs.

"We can see that." Snickered Tuffnut. Ruffnut chuckled quietly.

Fishlegs shot them a look of annoyance. "Are we even going the right way?"

"How should I know? I'm just following the sound of the ocean."

"Why the ocean?"

"I like the Beach." Grinned Tuffnut.

"And so do I." added Ruffnut. "So let's get out of these trees. I've never seen so many roots clumped up in one place."

The group was about to start walking again when they heard a rustle in the bushes. Everyone froze. Meatlug took a defensive stance in front of his rider. Tuffnut withdrew from being in front of the group to being closer to his sister and dragon. Nervously, Ruffnut shoved her brother towards it.

"Go check what that is." She hissed.

"Why me?!" he whispered back.

"Because you like danger."

"But you like danger too."

"Just go!" Ruffnut kicked him swiftly in the leg.

Tuffnut stifled a cry of pain and hopped over to where the bushes were. He stuck out one of his hands to draw back the leaves. Without warning, a large black shape shot out and pinned Tuffnut to the ground. Tuffnut started yelling, then Fishlegs and then Ruffnut. Startled, the dragons started flapping wildly and growling aggressively. Tuffnut stopped yelling when the black figure grumbled happily and stepped off him.

"Toothless?" he asked hesitantly. Toothless grumbled again. More rustling shook the bushes and two more figures emerged.

"Fishlegs! Ruff, Tuff!"

"Hiccup! Astrid! I thought I'd never see you again!" shouted Fishlegs gleefully and he lumbered over to give him a hug.

"Nice to see you too! Snotlout is with us too. He's back at the beach."

Ruffnut helped up her brother up before rushing over to greet the other Vikings. Barf & Belch and Meatlug waddled over to Toothless and exchanged a long greeting. Toothless purred in pleasure that none of his friends were badly hurt. Toothless retreated to Hiccup's side and gestured for the other dragons to do the same, so Meatlug and Barf & Belch returned to their respective owners.

"Where were you?" asked Astrid, glancing at the uneven way Ruffnut was standing and the many scratches on Tuffnut's arms and legs.

"Well, Ruffnut was stuck in a tree and I fell in a Thorn Bush." answered Tuffnut. He rubbed his sore arms.

"You should feel lucky you two survived." answered Astrid sternly.

"But it wasn't half bad being upside down. I mean I do it all the time. I'm just happy that I didn't have thorns on my butt." Ruffnut said indifferently. Her brother gave a fierce gaze, but she ignored it and pretended to inspect her braids.

"I fell into a lake and took cover in a cave until the wind blew over." Said Fishlegs proudly. "We have great survival instincts, right Meatlug?" The Gronkle licked Fishlegs in reply.

"Excellent work, Fishlegs. Let's get you and the twins fixed up and then we can figure out what to do next." Hiccup said as he beckoned Toothless to go first. The Night Fury gave a roar of acknowledgement before vanishing in the bushes.

"'Excellent work, Fishlegs'? What about my survival instincts? I lead him here." Protested Tuffnut as Astrid slipped behind Hiccup, followed by Fishlegs and his Gronkle.

"And we're probably the useless ones, just like that time you trapped yourself." Muttered Ruffnut as she walked after them.

"Hey, who's the one who didn't pay attention to Gobber?" countered Tuffnut with a menacing eye.

"You're the one who didn't pay attention!"

Barf & Belch rolled their eyes sleepily and followed their riders into the bushes.
