DISCLAIMER:

I JUST OWN MY O.C.

MOVIE FACT:

TOOTHLESS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A ORDINARY 'GARDEN DRAGON' BUT WAS LATER CHANGED TO A 'NIGHT FURY', THE RAREST OF DRAGON SPECIES. HE WAS ALSO ORIGINALLY SUPPOSED TO BE RED AND GREEN. (I cannot imagine toothless as red and green instead of black, can you?)

The commotion in the room finally died down and Sherina turned to resume the movie when wind blew rustling hair and chocolate wrappers. Sherina smiled, "Finally," she muttered as she rose up from her place and clapped her hands together to get everyone's attention. Didn't work.

She clapped louder, "Can I have everybody's attention, please?" her voice boomed across the room and echoed. Everyone grew silent and looked at her quizzically. "We have a guest," she said, bluntly. When no one replied or raised any questions, they were probably still stunned, she continued, " She'd be here any moment now," she looked at her phone to check the time.

"I'm sorry, who's the guest again?" Elinor asked trying her best to stay calm. Although Elinor was intrigued by what was happening, she had duties she needed to attend to. The clan leaders will be arriving soon and she had make room in her castle. She had no idea what the time was so she was beginning to get anxious and Merida's rebelliousness hadn't helped her calm down.

" You'll see," Sherina smirked then paused and added dutifully, " Your Highness." Just then, tiny lights, that appeared out of no where, swirled together to give a mini cyclone-like effect. Everyone jumped up and a few assumed defence positions. The lights tightened together creating a humanoid looking figure and dissipated leaving a young girl in it's wake.

The girl, in question, had long jet black hair that flowed down till her elbows. She wore a Disney t-shirt that had the words 'Never stop dreaming' with the classic Disney symbol and dark blue ripped jeans. Her green eyes twinkled mischievously.

"Took you long enough," Sherina smirked at her and then turned to the bewildered spectators, "This, everybody, is Jess. Fishlegs, remember when you accused me of witchcraft?" she raised her eyebrows at Fishlegs whom turned red with embarrassment.

"Sorry about that," he mumbled to her as his face grew even redder. He hated being in the centre of attention.

" It's okay," she waved him off smiling and then said, "Well, Jess here is an actual witch. But not that spooky stuff you know, black cat, pointy hat, bad curses and spells.. Well, she sometimes does do spells.." she trailed on.

"You're muttering again," Jess nudged her.

"-but they don't mean harm to anyone." Sherina concluded slightly embarrassed at herself.

"So she's like a White witch?" North asked. He worried about the safety of the children present but the children were rather fascinated by Jess.

"You can say that," Jess answered to his question and looked around. She smirked, " Nice ambience."

"Thanks," Sherina beamed at her and went sat down in her place. She patted the empty seat next to her, "C'mon. Sit down. Too much of time as passed," Sherina said impatiently.

"Alright alright," Jess chuckled at her friend and in split second she was in her seat next to Sherina. That unnerved a lot of the people present.

"Guys, settle down. I'm gonna resume the movie," ,Sherina called out to the others. That got them going and soon everyone was in their respective seats. Apparently, they were more interested in Hiccup's story than in young witch. Or maybe they were just too scared to ask any questions.

Curses are a scary thing.

The movie continued.

HICCUP

"Ack."

He passes a silent ox of a Viking, picking his ear.

HICCUP (CONT'D)

"Yep, just Ack."

Enter STOICK, the biggest Viking of all. He yanks Hiccup from the path of a strafing dragon and holds aloft to the crowd.

Hiccup held his breath. His father. He felt Astrid placing her hand on his shoulder, he looked at her and gave her a weak smile while his mother hugged him from the side.

"I'm Ok," he breathed out. Time to let go.

STOICK

"Hiccup!?"

(accusingly; to the crowd)

"What is he doing out again?!"

(TO HICCUP)

"What are you doing out?! Get inside!"

The flames light up his scowling face and matted red beard. He sets Hiccup down and turns to the sky, searching.

HICCUP (V.O.)(IN AWE)

That's Stoick the Vast. Chief of the tribe. They say that when he was a baby he popped a dragon's head clean off of its shoulders. Do I believe it?

"Nope," Bunny muttered under his breath.

Stoick grabs a wooden cart and hurls it, knocking the strafing dragon out of the sky.

HICCUP (V.O.) (CONT'D)

Yes I do.

An EXPLOSION forces Vikings to DUCK. Stoick stands firm, brushing flaming debris off of his shoulder.

STOICK(barking; to his men)

"What have we got?"

VIKING #1

"Gronkles. Nadders. Zipplebacks. Oh, and Hoark saw a Monstrous Nightmare."

STOICK

"Any Night Furies?"

VIKING #1

"None so far."

"Good thing I found you, huh, Toothless?" Hiccup nudged his dragon who licked him. "Aw, C'mon on!" Hiccup's mood had lighten a bit. His mom was right. It was time to let go.

Merida smiled at this scene. It was gross but cute.

Cute?

She ignored her own thought and focused on the movie.

STOICK(RELIEVED)

"Good."

VIKING

"Hoist the torches!"

Massive flaming braziers are raised on poles, lighting up the night sky... and revealing swirling dragons of all types. Below, Hiccup crosses an open plaza and ducks into an open building with a tall chimney.

INT. BLACKSMITH STALL – CONTINUOUS

He crosses behind a counter, where a peg-legged, one-armed hulk of a Blacksmith reshapes blades with a hammer and tongs appendage.

GOBBER

"Ah! Nice of you to join the party. I thought you'd been carried off."

Hiccup dons a leather apron and starts to put away Gobber's scattered appendages.

HICCUP

"Who me? Nah, come on! I'm way too muscular for their taste. They wouldn't know what to do with all this."

Hiccup strikes a bodybuilder pose.

Everyone in the room burst out laughing, a few wiping their tears away from their eyes. "So, this is what happens in the blacksmith's stall, huh?" Astrid raised her eyebrows at Hiccup in amusement. Hiccup's face grew red.

"Leave the kid alone, will ya?" Gobber said. Although, it would've been more effective if he weren't laughing so hard.

GOBBER

"They need toothpicks, don't they?"

"Oh Hiccup," Valka ruffled her son's hair.

Hiccup gets to work, transferring bent and chipped weapons to the forge as Vikings crowd the counter for replacements.

HICCUP (V.O.)

The meathead with attitude and interchangeable hands is Gobber. I've been his apprentice ever since I was little. Well...littler.

"What did you just call me?" Gobber asked Hiccup humorously.

EXT. VILLAGE - CONTINUOUSON STOICKSTOICK

We move to the lower defences. We'll counter-attack with the catapults. Armed men rush past, flanking others who carry sheep to safety. Stoick follows up the rear as, overhead, a dragon strafes the rooftops with Napalm-like fire.

HICCUP (V.O.)

See? Old village. Lots and lots of new houses.

VIKING

"Fire!"

In response, the fire brigade charges through the plaza - four TEENS, tugging a large wooden cask on wheels. From it, they fill buckets of water to douse the flames. One among them is a blonde, energetic Viking girl. Hiccup leans out of the stall to watch her.

"Hey! That's us!" Ruffnut exclaimed, pointing a finger at the screen.

"How are you still surprised?" Jess asked her.

HICCUP (V.O.)

Oh and that's Fishlegs, Snotlout. The twins Ruffnut and Tuffnut. And...

"Oh Gods.." Hiccup said knowing his sixteen year old self he knew very well what was coming next.

(DREAMY)

Astrid.

Astrid smirked at him, although, a blush was evident on her cheeks. Their friends snickered.

Merida frowned. She some how didn't like this.

"Please, do embarrass me further," Hiccup said dramatically to Sherina who hid her laugh in her palm.

A SLOW-MOTION explosion erupts behind her, framing her in a sexy ball of fire. The others join her, looking awesome and heroic.

"Whoa.. We look AWESOME!" Snotlout punched the air.

HICCUP (V.O.) (CONT'D)

Their job is so much cooler.

Hiccup tries to join them as they pass, but he's hooked by Gobber and hoisted back inside.

HICCUP (CONT'D)(PLEADING)

"Ah, come on. Let me out, please. I need to make my mark."

GOBBER

"Oh, you've made plenty of marks. All in the wrong places."

HICCUP

"Please, two minutes. I'll kill a dragon. My life will get infinitely better. I might even get a date."

Again, snickering started.

"Stop." Hiccup said.

GOBBER

"You can't lift a hammer. You can't swing an axe," Gobber grabs a bola (iron balls connected by rope) "you can't even throw one of these."

"How can I ever repay you for that?" Hiccup asked Gobber sarcastically.

A Viking runs by and nabs it out of Gobber's hand, hurling it at a dive-bombing Gronkle. The bola binds its legs, sending it into a heavy crash.

HICCUP(ready with the answer)

"Okay fine, but," He rushes to the back corner of the stall and presents a bizarre, wheel barrow-like contraption. "this will throw it for me."

Hiccup OPENS the hinged lid of the device. An arm springs up, equipped with twin bows. They prematurely launch a bola, narrowly missing Gobber... and taking out a Viking at the counter.

VIKING

"Arrgh!"

GOBBER

"See, this right here is what I'm talking about"

HICCUP

"Mild calibration issue."

GOBBER

"Hiccup. If you ever want to get out there to fight dragons, you need to stop all," Gobber gestures in Hiccup's general direction, "this."

HICCUP(ASTONISHED)

"But... you just pointed to all of me."

GOBBER

"Yes! That's it! Stop being all of you."

"Ha! I was wrong!" Gobber exclaimed.

"Uh-huh no spoilers!" Sherina tut-tutted at him.

This boy reminds me a lot of my Merida, Fergus thought.

HICCUP(THREATENING)

"Ohhhh."

GOBBER (MIMICKING)

"Ohhhhh, yes."

HICCUP

"You, sir, are playing a dangerous game. Keeping this much, raw...Vikingness contained. There will be consequences!"

Gobber tosses him a sword.

GOBBER

"I'll take my chances. Sword. Sharpen. Now."

Hiccup takes it begrudgingly and lobs it onto the grinding wheel.He stews... fantasizing...

HICCUP (V.O.)

One day I'll get out there. Because killing a dragon is everything around here.

Toothless snorted.

EXT. VILLAGE - LOWER PLAINS – CONTINUOUS

Nadders land, gathering like seagulls around a seemingly vacant house.

HICCUP (V.O.)

A Nadder head is sure to get me at least noticed.

. The Nadders clamber onto the building, tearing the roof and walls apart. Sheep pour out and SCATTER. Elsewhere, hippo-like Gronckles pick drying racks clean of fish and fly off like loaded pelicans.

HICCUP (V.O.) (CONT'D)

Gronckles are tough. Taking down one of those would definitely get me a girlfriend.

"Dude.." Jack eyed Hiccup warily.

"I was sixteen!" Hiccup threw up his hands in frustration.

"Teenagers," Bunny grumbled.

"Shush!" Tooth hissed.

A stealthy, snake-like dragon head peeks over a rooftop, breathing gas into a chimney.

HICCUP (V.O.) (CONT'D)

A Zippelback? Exotic, exciting. Two heads, twice the status.

A second head pokes through the door and lights it. KABLAM! The two heads fly through the explosion, their necks zipping together to reveal a single body. It flies past Stoick as he climbs to the top of a CATAPULT TOWER.

CATAPULT OPERATOR

"They found the sheep!"

STOICK(FRUSTRATED)

"Concentrate fire over the lower bank!"

CATAPULT OPERATOR

"Fire!"

Boulders are catapulted at the corralling Nadders... Just as a huge red dragon whips past, spraying the base of the catapult with sticky fire.

HICCUP (V.O.)

And then there's the Monstrous Nightmare. Only the best Vikings go after those. They have this nasty habit of setting themselves on fire.

It emerges from the flames, climbing the catapult with a leering, toothy grin.

STOICK

"Reload! I'll take care of this."

Stoick takes on the Nightmare, face to hammer. Suddenly, a LOUD BALLISTIC MOANING streaks overhead. The catapult crew ducks.

INT. BLACKSMITH STALL – CONTINUOUS

ON HICCUP, looking up from his work, reacting to the same sound.

HICCUP (V.O.)

But the ultimate prize is the dragon no one has ever seen. We call it the—

VIKING

"Night Fury! Get down!"

Vikings everywhere take shelter. The moaning sound BUILDS.

EXT. VILLAGE - CATAPULT – CONTINUOUS

The Monstrous Nightmare suddenly stops fighting and takes flight. Stoick looks skyward.

STOICK

"Jump!"

KABOOM! The Catapult EXPLODES as though hit by an artillery shell... sending Stoick and the crew leaping for their lives.

HICCUP (V.O.)

This thing never steals food, never shows itself, and...

The sound recedes, leaving the crippled catapult in flames.

HICCUP (V.O.) (CONT'D)

…never misses.

No one has ever killed a Night Fury. That's why I'm going to be the first.

"Yeah, right." Snotlout snorted.

IN THE STALL

GOBBER

"Man the fort, Hiccup, they need me out there!"

Gobber pauses. Turns with a threatening glare.

GOBBER (CONT'D)

"Stay. Put. There. You know what I mean."

Gobber charges into the fray, HOLLERING. ON HICCUP, a smirk crosses his face.

"Uh oh, that's not good," Merida smirked at Hiccup.

"Nope," Hiccup said smiling bashfully.

Merida laughed. It was a spirited laugh.

Astrid watched this frowning. What was about this exchange between Hiccup and that girl that bothered her?
