To Guest 1- I got a bit confused with that as well myself (and I was writing it, what does that say? :P ) but I got it! :D *pats self on the back*

To Guest 2- You'll have to get in line! Hiccup, me, Elmlea and then you :P (And I'm not very good with sharing :D )

"You're going to be in so much trouble." Jack didn't know a lot about dragons, but he did know that if you became best friends with one, your chiefly father wasn't going to be particularly happy with you.

But Toothless- great name- wasn't like everyone had feared. If you were nice to him, he was nice to you. They had even drawn pictures together and the dragon had gifted Hiccup with a regurgitated fish and insisted that he ate it. Jack had never had so much fun at someone else's expense.

And there was the other thing as well- Toothless could see Jack.

At first, they weren't sure, but Toothless bounded right up to Jack one afternoon and floored him, licking his face affectionately and covering him in slobber, much to Hiccup's merriment.

"Oh, this is priceless."

"Hey, you ate the fish. Shut up."

"We're even now though." Hiccup handed over the towel he had learnt to bring along. Jack dried himself off as best he could, the Night Fury rambling about, pawing curiously at butterflies. "Strange dragon." Hiccup turned to his friend to say something, but was caught off guard by Jack blowing on his face.

Jack had icy breath. Frozen snowballs hurt; a cold face was just as bad. He knew how much Hiccup hated that, so- of course- he did it when Hiccup least expected it. "I'm going off you." The smaller boy grumbled, massaging warmth into his face. Jack smirked cheekily, turning back to the dragon.

"What are you going to do?"

"Oh, I don't know. How does disappearing for five years sound?"

"Can talking fish bones survive that long?" Hiccup's shoulders slouched, unimpressed. "Just curious." Jack smiled. "I suppose if you take him with you, you'll be fine." He nodded at Toothless, who was now watching them curiously.

"I'm not completely useless you know."

"I didn't say you were."

"You implied it."

"I'd do no such thing." Jack protested rather pompously. Hiccup gave a very sarcastic, disbelieving 'hmmph!' Jack, being the bigger person, froze Hiccup's legs together.

"Aaaahhhh, that's cold."

"Jack Frost. Winter powers." Jack huffed. "And you're supposed to be the smart one." Hiccup frowned at him, trying to break the ice with his hands. "You're going to hurt yourself."

"No, I can do it."

"Hiccup-"

"Shush." He whistled and gestured to Toothless. The dragon scrambled to help, padding around Hiccup and burning the ground. The ice started to melt and Hiccup was able to break chunks off. "I've gone off you entirely now."

"Oh, that's fine. I've got two other friends to annoy."

"You do?"

"Unlike you, Hiccup, I get out."

"Who are they?"

"You should meet them." Jack smiled. "One of them might try and shoot you, but she tries to shoot everyone. The other one…" He made a face, wincing, "if you see her with a frying pan, run."

"A what?"

"A frying pan."

"What's that?"

"Uh… it's like a flat sauce pan. You fry stuff in it." Jack paused. "You don't have those?"

"Don't know what they are."

"Genius!" Jack declared, bopping Hiccup on the head playfully. "Absolute genius! How I grovel at you superior intellect."

"You don't have to be sarcastic for everything."

"You do! Why can't I?"

"I'm not sarcastic about everything."

"Uh huh."

"Shut up, Jack."

"I'm starting to annoy you."

"Oh, you haven't just started." Jack laughed triumphantly. Hiccup kicked a chunk of ice at him, but missed.

"Go on, Hiccup, show 'em who's boss!" Jack yelled happily. "But don't get partnered with him!" The other boy- Jack couldn't remember his name- was always spouting dragon facts that didn't really help Hiccup's nerves.

A two headed dragon billowing green smoke bumbled from its cage. Each trainee had been given a bucket of water to douse the head that sparked the smoke into an explosion.

Within a minute, four trainees were down. The nerd boy threw water at the wrong head and ran away screaming and choking on the green gas. "Get him, Hiccup!" Jack shouted, balancing on the bars above the ring. Hiccup tried, but his water fell to the floor into a pathetic puddle. "What was that?!" Jack protested. "You're not even trying!"

"Back!" Hiccup demanded, making a shooing motion at the dragon. "Back! Back! Now, don't make me tell you again! Yes, that's right, back into your cage." From where Jack was sat, he could see Hiccup pull something from under his jacket. "Now think about what you've done." He threw whatever it was into the cage and closed the doors.

Everyone else was staring at Hiccup, gob-smacked. Jack started to laugh at their gormless expressions and floated down.

"Nice one." Hiccup excused himself, the others still staring after him. "What did you throw at it?"

"An eel. Dragons don't like eels."

"Does anyone? Yuck." Hiccup smiled in agreement. "So, what are you going to do next? I doubt you can throw eels at every dragon."

"I'll think of something."

And he did.

With Toothless's help, Hiccup learnt that a certain grass was favoured immensely by dragons; they had a certain spot that made them collapse when scratched and they always chased little lights from reflective objects.

Jack would have learnt that too, but he was too busy catching Hiccup whenever he fell from his dragon. Eventually, Hiccup made a leash to stop him from falling, but that broke and he and Toothless were stuck.

"Keep still!" Hiccup demanded, trying to find his footing. Toothless didn't listen, happily jumping around and snuffling at the small figure hanging from his side.

"I got it." Jack smiled, holding up an Atlantic Cod. Toothless liked those. "Sit." Jack ordered. Toothless eyed him and then the fish. He growled. "No, if you want this, you have to sit." The dragon whined. "Sit." He sat. "Good boy!" Jack beamed, throwing the fish at him. Toothless wolfed it down in seconds, cooing.

Hiccup was on his feet now, balanced. He tried to pull the leash loose, but it was no good. "What are you going to do now?"

"I need to get back to the workshop."

"Teeny tiny problem with that…" Toothless chortled, huffing and making Hiccup's hair stand up on end. "How are you going to hide a dragon?"
