It was already midnight, and the two men continued struggling on getting the barrels open. The crew was still unaware of their presence, despite their incessant talking.

"Okay...on three again..." Hiccup said, hoping that they'll finally get out. Jack nodded, refusing to speak again, despite the fact that Hiccup won't see him. Meanwhile, two men lifted the trunk off as they started to count.

"One...Two...Three!" They shouted victoriously, getting it off, only to see where they were. On a ship. With the sailors they bet with. Gobber was the first to say something.

"Hiccup?" They stared, then smiled, shrinking down as the men came toward them.

"We're sorry, um," Jack started, as Hiccup looked down.

"Who ordered the, uh...pickles?" They said, shrinking down.

...

They were then thrown into the captains quarters, chained.

"I have my rights, you can't just chain me up like this!" Jack protested, Hiccup looking up in fear. Jack looked up at what Hiccup was looking at and had the same fear on his face.

"Stoick..." Jack whispered, said man looking down at the two with the same disproving scowl he had when Hiccup told him he made friends with the guy.

"Hiccup...what are you doing on my ship?" Hiccup looked down.

"Well, we, were, um...we were just-"

"You know what, don't." He said, as Jack looked at the brunette's sad expression looking at the ground. Jack looked at him.

"Listen, Stoick, we were just-"

"I especially don't want to hear any excuses from you of all people." Jack glared at him. He hated Stoick. It was exactly why he convinced Hiccup to ditch him and just have fun elsewhere, away from Stoick the Ass, as he called him very often in front of Hiccup. (He of course laughed at it, even though he tried not to.) Stoick just looked at them, then sighed.

"Listen. I will not tolerate stowaways on my ship. Even if it is my own son. As soon as we dock for supplies, I'm having Gobber take you home, and you will be in for it when I get back." He said, Hiccup looking at him. He called someone over.

"Take them to the holding cell. And release them of their chains." He said, as they were both lifted and shoved towards the holding cell. Jack gave one last glare at Stoick, who was ignoring them and talking to Gobber. He scoffed.

"Freaking Stoick the Ass." He muttered under his breath, only hoping Hiccup would hear and hoped that his spirits would be better. He looked over at him and frowned. He still seemed like the most miserable kid in the world.

...

The Night Fury on the deck was angry. He's burst the crew to flames, if it weren't for the damn muzzle restraining him. The way he was captured was just unfair. One tail flap was missing, so he wasn't able to fly away, and the man had sneaked up behind him, taking him by surprise and muzzling him on the spot. Given, he had killed thousands of his kind, but he would've thought that the man would've fought fairly. He looked over at the man walking over, holding a plate of fish. He tried to get it, but was restrained by the chains bounding him, causing him to glare at them. It also earned him some ridicule from the man with the fish on the platter, turning his glare toward the man, who was just laughing at his pain like the rest of them.

"Try all you want, dragon, but you're not getting out of this that easily. And you're especially not getting this food." He said laughing and tilting his head back, causing a fish to fall. He reached for it, but it fell down into the holding cell. Right in front of Jack, who just looked down at it. He picked it up by the gills, holding it out with a disgusted face. He heard the slow and steady banging and looked over at Hiccup, who was the cause of the banging. He kept banging his head against the wooden pillar, just like he had when he was first put in here after seeing his dad for the first time. Three days. He sighed, walking over to him.

"So, how's the escape plan coming?" He asked tiredly. Hiccup looked at him, having a black eye on his right eye. He glared, then looked like a realization was made.

"Wait..." He banged his head again a few times, as if to assure himself of his plan. He looked back at Jack.

"That's it! In the dead of night, we can take one of those long boats, the same ones my dad plans to us to take us back, take a few provisions, and then we row back to Berk like there's no mañana!" Jack raised a brow.

"Like there's no huh?"

"It means tomorrow, I picked it up when we went on that trip to Barcelona." He said, Jack smiling.

"Oh yeah!" He then realized the plan and shook his head, holding up his hands.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute, wait a minute. Go back to Berk?" He nodded.

"Y-yeah...?" Jack deadpanned.

"Go back to Berk. So, in fact, that's your plan, is it?" He shrugged, giving a nervous smile.

"Well, that's...pretty much it." Jack just continued to stare, then had a smile, laughing a little.

"Well I like it! So, how do we get on deck, braniac?" He said, Hiccup letting out a breath, then stopping, realizing he hadn't thought that far ahead.

"...S-so, in the dead of night, we.." He said, starting to retell the plan, Jack groaning.

"Oh, no..." Hiccup glared.

"Well, I don't see you coming up with any ideas!" Jack looked at him incredulously, as if he had a second head.

"What do you mean, I'm not the ideas guy, that's you, I'm the fun guy!" They heard a slight growl, and what sounded like a sort of muffled roar. Hiccup thought about it, then looked at the fish. He gulped.

"Well...I have one idea...but I'll probably nearly get killed for it. Hoist me up." He said, grabbing the fish by the gills as Jack did. Jack raised a brow, but complied with the order, hoisting him up. Hiccup put the fish against the steel gate. The dragon smelled it instantly, moving toward it, looking down, before growling and backing away slowly. Hiccup frowned.

"No, no, no, it's okay..." He muttered.

"...I'm not one of them." He said softly, the dragon stopping his movement and moving forward slightly. He then just stared. Hiccup stared in amazement.

"...I honestly didn't think that would work." He said, Jack smiling.

"Well keep going, it's working for you!" Hiccup rolled his eyes and looked to see the dragon sniffing at the fish, his pupil larger and no longer slits. It was almost...adorable. Hiccup frowned, moving the fish down, the dragon giving a low humming sound.

"Um, hey, d-dragon? Or, uh, Night Fury...um..." He said, as he remembered his mouth when he reached for the fish. Completely toothless. He knew it was common for Night Furies to have retractable teeth. He looked at him.

"Um...Toothless?" The dragon seemed to respond to that name. He smiled.

"Yeah...Toothless. Um, Toothless, I need you to do a favor for me." Toothless's eyes narrowed into slits again, as he snorted, Hiccup shaking his head.

"Listen, if you do this for us, I promise to give you the fish. Please, just...do this one thing, okay?" He asked, as Toothless just looked at him. He sighed.

"Okay...I need you to get a pry bar. It's a long piece of metal. And it's got a piece at the end of it that kind of bends, I guess...can you please get that?" Toothless snorted, then walked off.

"C'mon, bud, get the pry bar..." He said, as Jack sighed.

"Hiccup, as much as I'm glad that you're not so afraid of dragons anymore, you probably shouldn't have named it. You know the saying, if you name it, you get attached to it. And, another thing, how would he know what a pry bar is?" He asked, Hiccup just looking at him with a deadpan expression.

"He'll know."

"There you go. He'll know. You're getting attached. And, how could it possibly know what a pry bar is, despite your description?! It's a dumb dragon. It doesn't know what a pry bar i-" He stopped, as something fell down quick, a growling sound erupting from Toothless. They saw that it was something better than a pry bar, the keys to the holding cell. They stood in silence for a while, as Hiccup gave Jack a victorious smirk. Jack glared.

"...It's still not a pry bar."

Author's Note: Okay, so, I CAME OUT WITH ANOTHER CHAPTER! YEAH! I hope you liked this chapter. Now, couple of things. Sorry for the shortness, for one thing. I'm using my brother's laptop, and he needs it, so I'm trying to finish this as quickly as possible. SORRY. And, also, sorry for any spelling errors. Sometimes I just don't like checking my work. I just hope it's nothing major like if I meant to spell "and" it ends up being "snf". Yeah. And, in relation to the story, yes. Stoick really hates Hiccup hanging out with Jack. Because, well, this is JACK we're talking about. He's a natural troublemaker! He even convinced Hiccup to leave Stoick and hang out with him, even travelling with him, if the mañana thing was any sort of hint. Now, don't take this the wrong way. They're buddies. This is not a HiJack fanfic, meaning no shipping. Actually, one pairing I will tell you it Raccup...or Hicunzel? ...Hiccup and Rapunzel, basically, that is one pairing here. I don't actually ship anything with the Big Four fandom, but for the sake of this fanfiction, I will. And, as for the naming of Toothless, I don't know. Also, as for the famous Hiccup line in this, I couldn't resist, I'M SORRY. ...I'm not sorry. But, yeah. I really do hope you enjoyed this and a shout out to roxas sailormoon, raven, and the Guest! Thanks for the reviews! Hope you enjoyed!
