Hey, guess what? I GOT A REVIEW! Thanks Angryhenry, though I have no idea what you said…. This chapter came up tonight thanks to Angryhenry, because he reviewed. muahaha

Anyways, I KNOW I HAVE 5 FOLLOWERS, AT LEAST REVIEW.

Holding a steak to his darkening eye, Hiccup wondered what he had said.

His father threw something at him. "Put that on."

Hiccup could see it had arm sleeves. He pulled it on, and the odd bit on top flopped over his eyes. "What is it?" He shoved the top part back and put the meat back on his eye, Skoll watching it with more interest than necessary.

"A hoodie." He looked at Hiccup and sighed. "Son, are you sure you didn't run into a door?"

"Dad."

"Now hear me out. That girl has been over the moon about you since the attack. You must have said something or another to upset her."

"Upset is a bit mild. I- Just- She wanted to talk, and she invited herself in the house. I thought it would be inappropriate if she were in here."

He gave his son a look of pity. "It's not inappropriate, Henrik. Anneka has been over more than a handful of times. You are tutoring her in mathematics."

"What are mathematics? T- That's beside the point! Won't people t-think, um, b- poorly…of her?" He set the steak down on the ground where it was gobbled in two bites.

His father's face switched from 'pity' to 'suspicious.' "I can't tell if you're serious. You're not pulling an old man's beard, now, are you?"

Hiccup started to turn red as he sputtered, "But, I mean, it's not like, um, I- we- I'm, uh, courting Astr- er, her, um, am I?" Rather the face his father with a red face, he got up and went to – what was it called? It looked like a water basin.

"Courting? You mean dating? Well, even if you were you wouldn't exactly be telling your father first, would you? But you had better ask someone before you stick your other foot in your mo-" His father blinked several times before coughing out a "Sorry."

Hiccup glanced at his metal peg. He turned one of the knobs by it and water poured out. He splashed it over his face, careful of his eye. "It's fine, Dad."

A knock at the door sounded before Gobber came through, holing a pile of books in his good arm. "I figured it out, Erek, Henrik! Gobber were an ancestor of mine. Now Mum was a big history buff in her day and got the whole family tree, starting with our ancestor Bork." He threw a very old leather book down and opened it to the back page. Hiccup and his father stood around it as Gobber pointed. The first name at the top was indeed Bork. Gobber trailed a finger down and tapped to the name 'Gobber,' alone on the edge of the page.

"See, obviously not a part of the direct lineage to yer 'Gobber,' Henrik, but he is in the family. Now let's see what Mum said…" He grabbed another book and dusted off the cover to show 836-1049. Looking at the index, he flipped through several pages until he got to 969. He pulled the book close to himself and scanned the words. While he read, Hiccup wandered up the stairs and grabbed his sketchbook. He could hear Gobber clearly as he bellowed, "Ah-ha! Here's Hiccup, son of Stoic the Vast and Valka Haddock."

I'm glad the bellowing hasn't changed… Hiccup thought quietly.

"Gunnar, do you know if Henrik had ever seen these before?"

"Not possible. They were under a chest that weighed twice as much as 'im, and the dust was about as old as I was. They haven't seen the light of day since Mum put 'em there."

Hiccup frowned, unknowingly stuffing his hands and book into the pouch over his stomach. "Wha- you think I'm lying? Or that the gothi lied?" Hiccup huffed and walked back out the door. "Who the Hel would come up with such a lie…"

Skoll followed behind him, and once outside, was lying down in front of Hiccup. He squatted next to the wolf and rubbed his head.

He was not the scaled friend he remembered. He did not have wings. Hiccup was mostly certain that the wolf would not be able to breathe fire any time soon. He sighed, asking, "What do you say we get out of here for a bit, huh, bud?"

Skoll snorted and trotted off towards the trees. The direction was vaguely familiar, somewhere in his mind. As he stumbled over large tree roots and rocks the familiarity grew until was was confidently avoiding and weaving around them.

Skoll walked off until he stopped in front of a noticeable pile of boulders. One Hiccup easily remembered. "No way…" The wolf rolled his eyes before lumbering between the two and vanishing. The boy followed closely behind.

Once he got down, it was as if he was back home, on the island in the Meridian of Misery. The cove was still a spot of sun filled green, clear pond located in the middle.

Stepping down the steep incline carefully, he came across a hunk of wood that looked like a club. He ducked under it and stumbled forward, falling onto his hands and looking at very big hooves.

He looked up just as a long snout snorted into his hair.

He is scrawny for a human. Are you sure he is the one, Moon-Howler?

Hiccup didn't feel as surprised as he might have, if his day had started like it used to.

The mountain goat was almost as big as Skoll, the horns a menacing curl over its ears.

I am certain, Rock-Climber. Skoll growled, menacing as he stood next to Hiccup. I will not have you doubt me now. Was I not correct about All-Eater?

A white blur rammed into the mountain goat. The Dall sheep's horns curled wide enough, Hiccup could probably stick his whole head through and his nose would not brush it.

Be silent, Rock-Climber! Before I beat the noise out of you!

The mountain goat reared then came down to crash its skull into the Dall's. I would like to see you try! Back and forth the two butted heads against each other, trading insults as they wandered around the cove.

Skoll snort. Do you see what I must deal with? You think it is difficult with the other humans.

"Um, h-how are you doing this? How am I hearing you?"

Skoll looked all around him. This place is sacred. Looked upon by the gods. He looked at Hiccup. They have woken again. Time is moving forward at last.

SO we have a speaking wolf! And goat. And sheep…and…other animals BUT I won't go overboard on this I swear! If you feel like I am, yell at me! I mean it! This is not a Barbie movie!

Ahem, anyways. We find out what a gentleman Hiccup/Henrik is ("aww") and we learn Gobber/Gunnar in a descendant to THE Gobber.

NEXT LINE IS A SPOILER

Not to forget, but I just found out GOBBER IS GAY IT WAS HINTED AT IN THE SECOND MOVIE AND ACTOR/PRODUCERS CONFIRMED IT WHOO

He might even get a partner in the third movie….

"Can I buy ticket NOW? And the DVD? And the DreamWorks Dragons: Masters? And maybe all the merchandise while we're at it?"

"Sure, that'll be a gazillion dollars."

"…can I pay that in Fanfiction?"

"No."

Ahem, sorry, bit of a freak out there. Requests/prompts are open, seriously guys. AND REVIEWS, REVIEWS WILL GET YOU MORE CHAPTERS I PROMISE
