Hiccup managed to get up the next morning. Stoic was eating his breakfast when Hiccup took a seat.
"Dad, can I go flying today?" Hiccup asked.
"Sure, be back by midday, you have a appointment with the healer" said Stoic.
"Great" Hiccup grabbed food and, with Toothless, limped out the house.
Camicazi, the daughter of Bertha, was walking about with other children who were the children of cheifs, discussing what they discovered last night when they heard a female voice.
"Hiccup, your out today" they children rounded a corner and looked at the sight.
"Yeah, Dad is letting me go flying" said Hiccup as he saddled Toothless.
"But?" questioned Astrid.
"I've to back by Midday, the healer is coming to see me" sighed Hiccup.
"Wanna race?" asked Astrid.
Hiccup laughed. The other children looked on shocked.
"Like you could me" he glared.
"Your both still recovering" said Astrid.
"Yeah, and we can still beat you" said Hiccup. They both climbed onto their dragons and took off. Hiccup screaming in delight.
"Quite a sight, ain't it?" a voice behind the children said. They turned to see Snotlout, Fishlegs, Ruffnut and Tuffnut.
"What is?" asked Camicazi.
"Watch this bit" said Fiashlegs. They all looked up to see Hiccup disappear in the dark clouds gathering above the village only to swopped right down to the ground before Toothless swerved and they flew back up again.
This performance was followed by a yell of:
"Told you we would beat you!"
"Hiccup and Toothless did those moves when battling the Big Dragon Thing" said Ruffnut.
"So that was all true?" asked a random boy.
"Yeah" smirked Hiccup from behind them.
