Okay, so this is my SECOND update today, and I know, this chapter is my shortest one yet, but I had to get something out there for you nice people. I don't know where this story is going, but I promise you it will be fascinating. :) I was so surprised by how many follows and stuff this story has, and I am still surprised now. I didn't think I would get so many...everything. :) Shout-outs:

AnimeAngel: EEEEKK! HTTYD2 OUT NEXT WEEK! AAAAAAAAAAAGH! *dies* XD! Seasons 3 and 4 will be out this spring, and I'm like...AAGH! :) SO EXCITED!

snowflakeangel21: I'm glad you like it! :)

flowingcrane3: Yeah, I guess she should have, but she also knew she had a place on Berk. And she knew that she was better helping Berk than staying with Hiccup, because Berk really needed everyone they could get, and in my opinion, Astrid's one of Berk's best warriors. :)

Wanli8970: Saaaaaaaad...

Snowstar: Okay! I have dialed in your vote! :)

silverwolvesarecool: YES! GET HIM FOR HURTING HICCUP!

Guest (#1): I wouldn't dream of giving up on it! XD!

xFaerieValkyriex: Yeah, I don't think anyone could keep Hiccup away for very long, if you ask me. :)

Wudelfin: I'm glad you like it! Details mean a lot to me when I write. :)

GuardianDragon98: Seriously. Don't die, Stoick. Don't die, Hiccup. Just...nobody die.

Guest (#2): Haha! XD!

Jesusfreak: Yes, I don't like writing about people dying, so...well, unless it's Dagur. :)

Guest (#3): I am amazed! You are epic too! :D

"Stoick?" Astrid asked, almost timidly. "Who is she?"

"Valka is Hiccup's mother," said Stoick.

Astrid froze just for a second. "Wait...Hiccup's mother?" she asked, just in case she hadn't heard right, which she really thought she hadn't.

Stoick nodded.

"But...how is that possible?" Snotlout spoke up.

"It's a long story," said Stoick.

Astrid nodded and decided to leave it at that for now. She would ask Valka herself later. Or Hiccup, if he felt up to telling her.

The baby dragons flew all over what was left of the dragon sanctuary. Their eyes were almost too big for their heads, and their flying was off, so they always ended up crashing into each other and then falling back to the ground in either unconsciousness or a dizzy daze.

"Oh for crying out loud," said Snotlout.

"How are we supposed to ride those things?" said Fishlegs. "They can hardly fly without a rider, much less with one! We'll be killed!"

"See how they knock their heads together until they pass out?" Tuffnut whispered to Ruffnut. "It's glorious."

"Come on, guys, we are professional dragon trainers!" said Astrid with enthusiasm. "This shouldn't be too big a deal!"

...

It was "too big a deal."

"Come on!" shouted Astrid. "I just...want to get...on your...back!" She held a dragon by its tail as it tugged her around. At the last second, Astrid managed to jump on its back and show it that she was in control.

"Ha!" she shouted. "Success!"

Behind her, Stoick and Gobber were already on their dragons. Fishlegs was just getting on his, Snotlout was chasing his around all over the place, and Ruffnut and Tuffnut were fighting over who would get which dragon.

"Get over here, you crazy dragon!" shouted Snotlout angrily. He dived, just barely wrapping his arms around the dragon's neck and holding on for dear life.

Eventually, they all were mounted on the baby dragons. As soon as they were, they headed off towards Berk.

"How do you fly these thing!?" shouted Tuffnut.

"Yeah!" said Ruffnut. "They don't listen to anyone!"

"What's the plan, Stoick?" said Gobber.

"We get back to Berk, and give Drago what he deserves!" said Stoick.

"Look!" shouted Astrid.

Looking ahead as she had commanded, the Berkians saw Drago and his army already there. The Bewilderbeast was there, taking control of all the dragons.

"Let's finish this," said Stoick.
