RECAP: With the Dragon Races taking place today, Hiccup is constructing a bunch of new equipment in preparation. On the other hand, Morgan is still trying to settle in, and is finding it hard to do so due to Toothless. It doesn't look like the dragon will ever grow a liking of the teen. Morgan and Toothless were left in Hiccup's bedroom whilst Hiccup attended to the workshop to construct catapults for sheep, helmets, and other essentials for the upcoming races. Morgan has yet to meet the other Berk Dragons as well.

You know that feeling when you're just being watched and you feel on edge? that was exactly what Morgan was feeling as Toothless just laid down on the stone slab he sleeps on usually, watching Morgan as he types on his phone. Morgan sat up from the bed, looked around the room and tried to find something to do to keep himself busy. His phone winded all the way down to 10% thanks to how much he just used it. He walked over to Hiccup's soup bowl and saw that it wasn't entirely washed, so he attended to that. Behind him, he heard a yawn, almost as if it came from a puppy. He looked behind him and saw Toothless drifting off to sleep on his slab. The yawn made Morgan feel heart warmed, and quite emotional, because it indicates a cute and friendly creature, but Morgan couldn't bring himself to believe it with Toothless not showing any signs of forgiving the 17 year old. He wiped the soup bowl with his hands as he couldn't find any tissue, which was what he'd usually use if he was at home. He walked towards the door and made his way to the corridor. There, he heard Hiccup humming to himself in the workshop, or Grotto's workshop. He opened the door slowly and saw Hiccup with a catapult-looking device.

"Wow, what's that for?" Morgan asked.

The voice caught Hiccup by surprise because he didn't hear Morgan open the door.

"Oh, uh, this is what we call a sheep catapult.." Hiccup said.

Morgan looked at Hiccup as if he was crazy. "You what? a sh-sheep c-catapult? what for?"

Hiccup looked amused "What do you think, it's for the races, we use it to catapult the sheep into the air" he said.

Morgan needed time to adjust his brain into what he just heard.

Hiccup reached into his workshop and pulled out a manual. Morgan was stood at the doorway, still with an eyebrow raised as if his brain just broke down. Hiccup flicked the manual to the page that describes how the Dragon Races work.

"Here, take it and have a read" Hiccup said, offering the manual with his hand.

Morgan obeyed, and took the big book with carefulness. He opened it, but all he could see was symbols; the viking language, and he couldn't understand a single word of it. Hiccup could see that he was struggling to read it, so he took the manual off of Morgan slowly to read it out, as Morgan had no grasp on the viking language when it comes to the writing aspect of it. Speaking it, it sounds like regular English.

"In a dragon race, the maximum amount of points is 10. When a rider has 10 points, they win the thing. There are variations of sheep that are worth different amounts of points. The Black Sheep is worth 10, and the white sheep are worth 1. Dragon riders must catch these sheep and get them to the starting point for the race. The sheep get tossed into a basket that is labelled with a picture for each dragon rider. When a black sheep is about to be thrown, the racing horn will be sounded, so the riders are aware ahead of time. Laps must be completed before tossing the sheep into their respective basket" Hiccup read.

What a funny sounding game, yet at the same time, cruel sounding, in Morgans mind. The poor sheep are used as equipment essentially, yet Berk seems to enjoy playing this game. Morgan walked back into Hiccup's room after being read the rules of the dragon races, and he yelled out to Hiccup across the rooms and corridor.

"That game sounds awfully cruel, Hiccup!" he yelled.

Hiccup had just finished on whatever he was building, and stood in the doorway in the entrance to his room.

"Uh, yeah, but it's just so much fun, why don't you try?" he offered to Morgan.

Morgan's hands rose up waving left and right at the thought of him participating.

"That's never going to happen, Hiccup, after that first flight?" Morgan said.

Suddenly, Toothless stood up, with the mentioning of Morgan participating clearly disturbing the dragon. He walked over to Hiccup, and Hiccup started talking to him.

"Alright bud, we've gotta get ready, Morgan, you coming?" Hiccup asked.

Morgan was unsure, but he just couldn't miss this opportunity to see a Dragon Race in person.

"Yeah, why not?" he said, in a positive manner.

"We were actually about to go to the Docks now, I think everyone else is getting their dragons there as well" Hiccup said.

Morgan took a few deep breathes and walked over to Hiccup and Toothless. He followed them as they went down the stairs slowly. They all got to the main room and stepped to the outside where they overlooked the village. Hiccup placed the sheep catapult he constructed into the saddle pack on Toothless. Whilst doing so, Morgan looked up into the sky. What he saw wasn't a cloud, but something of a blue shade coming towards the village. Upon further inspection, he could see that somebody, presumably a viking, was riding it. Morgan realised that it was another Dragon of Berk, one in which looked to be the most intimidating. Hiccup was distracted to notice, but Morgan was backing up to the door. Hiccup noticed Morgan, and he also noticed where he was looking. Hiccup looked up at the direction Morgan was, and the new dragon made a crash landing in front of Toothless, followed by a female voice.

"WOOOOOHOOOOOOOO"

Morgan tripped on the steps leading up to the house in panic, and the rider of this blue dragon noticed him. She got off her dragon and walked over to Hiccup and Toothless. Morgan recognised her; this was Astrid. The dragon name he wasn't sure of, but the viking was easily recognisable from the blonde hair.

"Hiccup!" Astrid yelled.

Hiccup turned to her. Toothless and (what looked like Stormfly) started flying together playfully, knocking each other around. Hiccup and Astrid got together in preparation for the Dragon Races. Meanwhile, Morgan was still petrified of the size of the Stormfly Dragon in comparison to Toothless.

"Who's he?" Astrid asked, pointing up at Morgan on the steps.

"He's new around here, and uh, quite nervous" Hiccup said. "He's not viking material but uh, he makes a good friend" he added.

Astrid's dragon came back to her as Morgan slowly walked down the steps to meet up with the female viking. The sheer presence of Stormfly gave Morgan wobbly feet, but he pushed through his fear. He walked up to Hiccup and Astrid. Toothless also landed next to Stormfly, but he moved nearer to Hiccup's position. Morgan, out of experience, raised his right hand out to Astrid.

"I'm Morgan" he said.

She raised out her right hand slowly, almost looking like she's on edge with the new person.

"Uh, Astrid.." she said. "What's a kid like you doing here?" she added.

Morgan looked at her with his head up.

"Actually, I don't have a clue, if you want the honest answer." he said.

Hiccup looked at Astrid, shrugging his shoulders, as he too was unsure as to how Morgan got here. Suddenly, her dragon moved up closer to Morgan. The eyes of this creature were locked entirely on him, and he didn't know what to do nor did he understand how safe he was at this scenario. The orange spikes on Stormfly's head didn't help Morgan in the slightest.

"She's friendly, Morgan" Hiccup insisted.

Morgan had an idea; he would try and do what Hiccup did when he first met Toothless; stick your hand out and hope for the best. He turned over to Hiccup as Stormflys head was within an arms reach of Morgan.

"See? they don't hurt anyone.." Hiccup said.

Astrid was quick to fire back at that, "Yeah well...unless I have anything to say on that.."

Morgan's confidence levels were at an all time high, and Astrid seemed okay with Morgan doing what she realises he's going to do. He looked down to the side of the floor and stuck his left palm out to Stormflys head. At the moment, nothing was felt on the palm, and Morgan's body felt like it was melting out of Jelly. It was intense; with no sight as to what's in front of you, yet you're testing the waters with it, you could end up with a broken hand. He debated on whether or not he should pull his hand away- Morgan's head tucked in further...as something rough yet...somewhat soft was within his senses...he looked up at his hand and saw Stormflys head against his palm...this was the first time Morgan had ever layed contact with a Dragon since arriving on Berk, and the feeling he had was phenomenal. It felt like he had a protector, knowing that the dragon trusted somebody they'd never seen before. He looked at Astrid with the biggest smile on his face.

"I did it...I d-..." he couldn't contain himself.

Astrid looked on at Morgan, "That's Stormfly for you, she's the best dragon ever" she said.

The female viking put her head onto Stormfly's head afterwards. Morgan then turned to Hiccup, as Hiccup nodded at him with positivity.

"Well done...you've finally picked up the confidence...I uh..guess the only left to fix now would be the situation with Toothless" Hiccup said.

Morgan didn't want to bother with Toothless. Suddenly, his confidence with dragons soared, meaning now he feels like he can do anything with them and go up to any of them and touch them and befriend them. Of course, there is some risk to this that might make it's presence felt later...

"Oh Hiccup, the races!" Astrid said.

"Morgan, are you coming or what?" Hiccup said, as Astrid got onto Stormfly and Hiccup moved onto Toothless.

"Morgan? who's Morgan?" Astrid asked, scratching her hair.

The chief pointed to the teen, with her eyes following his finger.

"Oh, well uh, how are you gonna get there?" Astrid asked Morgan.

"He can come with me" Hiccup insisted.

Out of nowhere, Toothless reversed away from Morgan at the mention of bringing him along. Hiccup kept his balance on the Dragon's back, but barely. Astrid got off Stormfly to attend to Toothless.

"It's alright, calm..what's wrong with him Hiccup?" she asked, scratching her head once again.

"He doesn't seem to like Morgan" Hiccup replied.

Astrid looked back at Morgan. "I don't think you'll be able to come at this rate, kid.."

Morgan looked at Stormfly and his eyes brightened up.

"Well maybe I can ride on Stormfly?" he said, walking towards her dragon. Astrid was cautious about Morgan's speedy ways. Her dragon wasn't used to strangers boarding her. In Morgan's mind, because Stormfly let him touch her, he thinks he's befriended her. His soar in confidence is based all around that, so obviously he'd be hyperactive with the dragon he got to touch.

Astrid looked on as Morgan started climbing up the saddle. "She's not gonna hurt me, she's friendly" Morgan said.

Astrid scratched the back of her neck in fear, as did Hiccup. "You might not wanna do that..yaknow.." she said.

More vikings emerged from their huts to see this complete stranger climb onto a berk dragon. Toothless looked on at the teen, but he didn't seem phased by it. Ruffnut and Tuffnut were amongst the crowd of vikings who watched on. Suddenly, due to an overcrowding state and the fear of this stranger climbing onto her, Stormfly charged forwards and flicked her body forwards, sending Morgan flying in the air at a medium height over the path leading to the house. He crash landed headfirst onto a patch of grass in between one of the huts further down, causing Hiccup, Astrid and the other vikings to run towards his crashed body in panic. Toothless seemed to follow on, as well...Morgan's confidence got the best of him.

It was only a matter of time...Morgan was too confident, and now he's unconcious in a state of a severe concussion. What if it's too severe to the point he might die? What will Hiccup do? what will Astrid do? will the entirety of Berk, including the other Dragons, be informed of this? if Morgan wakes up, where will he be? Things just got a whole lot more interesting...
