HEY EVERYBODY! GUESS WHO'S BACK!
That's right, readers. Madame Falconstar, at your service! I have returned!
I was starting to feel that I would never finish this fic, as I have a notorious habit for starting stories and never finishing them. But after three months and twenty-one chapters of work, I was able to prove to myself that I am perfectly capable of completing a novel, so why couldn't I try this again?
I also want to add that it was all your reviews that got me fully going again, as without them, I would have let this fic die in the lonely corners of FanFiction. Thank you all for making me feel guilty enough to get off my lazy butt and continue. This chapter's very short, sorry, but it's just a tidbit for you as a way of apology, while I work on the next chapter. Enjoy!

"W-what?" Echoed Hiccup. "What do you mean, save the-"
"You remember that dragon? The huge one?" Asked the Doctor.
Hiccup nodded.
"I'm going to say this without sugarcoating it, so it may seem a little upsetting." He took a breath. "There are several hundred unhatched baby seadragons in the Nest which are going to hatch very soon and the Dalek is going to use as a personal army to wipe every living thing off of this planet. Any questions?"
Hiccup paused. His mouth opened, then closed again.
"Good. Let's go then!" Said the Doctor cheerfully, heading towards the TARDIS. Tiny, as the Doctor was calling the little Terror, landed on his head, looking excited.
"Go... where?" Asked Hiccup, looking at Amy. She shrugged, giving him a don't-ask-me look.
"Where you found the Dalek, of course."
"What are you-"
"We," The Doctor corrected.
"...What are we going to do?"
"Find a homocidal alien, stir up a lot of trouble, and make a very big mess. And if we're very lucky, we might even find some information on how our friend plans to kill us all."
"You make it sound like you do this kind of thing all the time."
"Well, some days are more exciting than others," Admitted Amy.
The Doctor turned back to them.
"Chat later, move now!" He said, practically jumping up and down in impatience. "You think you can find the place, Hiccup?"
Hiccup struggled to remember. "Um.. I think..."
Toothless, who had been licking the wound on his chest until now, growled something.
The Doctor looked at him. "Really?"
He came closer to the Night Fury as the dragon replied.
"Well, I always thought it could help.."
Amy and Hiccup stared as this continued for another minute.
"You can... actually understand what he's saying?" Asked Amy in disbelief.
"I made it a priority to learn Dragonese while on a planet who's name I can't recall right now." Said the Doctor dismissively. "A lot of lizardy things lived there, mostly immigrants from other galaxies... Of course, Dragonese was considered a dead language but when you live in a time machine-"
Toothless growled, nudging the man with his claw.
"Sorry, carry on." He listened intently for a few seconds, then nodded.
"Right!" He said, looking pleased. "It seems your friend here can remember the exact place you bumped into the Dalek. There's just one problem."
"What's that?" Asked Amy.
"I have a feeling that a large blue box flying through the air isn't very normal around here. We may have to go on foot."
"But that could take too long," Amy pointed out. "The Dalek could get away."
"I know, but we don't have much-"
Hiccup held up his hand. "Hold on a minute," He said.
Both turned and looked at him. "What?"
"We do have dragons here,"

Like I said, shamefully short, but I'm back on a roll! It doesn't matter if you've commented before, because reviews are like cookies to me: lovely sweet loveliness that proves people actually care about what I write. If I don't update within two weeks, I'll need you all to start getting me off my butt again, though.
Still, hoping to see you soon!
