AN: Here comes the second part, where it is Hiccups turn to find out what it means to be a hatchling. I will tell you now that the Garden Dragon 'Toothless' will not be a major part of this story, he will still be there, just more of a bystander because I haven't read the books and am making it all up as i go along.

For those who do not understand how my mind works:

"Norse"

"Dragonese"

"You've got me!" Right as I said the last word I tried to jump on my friend, the way I had seen other hatchlings do in Berk. Unfortunately, I am still rather clumsy, enhanced by being in a strange body, and so he avoided it easily. Too easily in my opinion. I landed a bit awkwardly where he was standing a moment before and span around to find a black blur pounce on me, sending us both rolling across the floor.

"How did you dodge that so easily" I grumped

"Easy, I saw you get ready to jump, then I moved out the way" Even without looking at him I could tell he was rolling his eyes. "It was soooo obvious when you started shifting around that you was going to jump me. Besides, you are still fairly clumsy"

"There is a reason for that" I retorted dryly "It is bad enough when I knew what I was doing, but now I can barely figure out what muscle moves what!" I paused for a moment, considering, before saying determinedly "Teach me how to be a hatchling"

Toothless smiled again, before going into his 'Professor mode' "Ok, first things first. When moving around, always keep your wings tucked in close to your body"

I focused everything on moving my wings. Nothing. "How do you move these things?" I asked, frustrated.

"Just twitch your back muscles and you'll find them" he said patiently.

There! Wait, no, there! After working my way down my back I found a new set of muscles. After flexing them slightly I tried to move the muscles that felt nearest to them. After a minute I found that I could actually feel my wings, and their positions. I glanced at Toothless, who was watching my progress, and manoeuvred my wings to imitate his.

When I managed to get them into position, Toothless nodded approvingly. "Good. Now try walking while keeping them like that."

I knew from my years with Toothless that Night Fury's walked by moving the legs diagonal to each other at the same time, front left and back right, then front right and back left. I knew that focusing on moving each leg perfectly would be a recipe for disaster, so I simply started walking around as best as I could. It felt awkward at first, and I stumbled more than a few times, but after a dozen stumbles or so it started to come more naturally.

Suddenly Toothless slapped my wing with his tail, causing me to yip in surprise (which surprised me even more) because I did not realise that he had been beside me all this time. "Keep your wings tight!" he commanded.

Realising that while walking I had let my wings droop slightly, I held them tight to me and continued walking around for a while. After a minute of walking around in a giant circuit, Toothless obviously felt it was time to move on. "Ok, that looks good now. Try running now, still keeping your wings tight. When you can control your wings properly you can use them to assist with running, but for now just keep them tight."

As if to show me how to do it, he ran ahead of me. Watching him, I immediately saw that running was nothing like walking, as you used your front two legs together and then the back two together. Watching him run I realised that it was a lot like jumping, as the back legs were the ones providing the majority of the power. I suppose this all comes naturally to him. Lets see how this goes.

Determined to make Toothless proud of me, I pushed off with my back legs as if I was jumping straight forwards, using my front legs to keep my momentum going until my back legs could push me forward again. I did my best to avoid jumping up as I ran, trying to keep it flat, as I had seen Toothless do it. After a few bounds I realised that my wings weren't as tight as they should be, so I quickly adjusted them without losing my stride. Before I realised it I reached where he was waiting for me.

"Wow. Better than I thought it would be." I hopped up and down a few times with joy from his praise "But there is a better way to practice than going in a line"

I looked at him curiously, but before I could ask him what he meant he tackled me, then scampered off into a run shouting "Catch me if you can!". With the challenge set I took after him, his amusement giving me extra motivation. Toothless kept to a simple course at first, allowing me to start to catch up, then he started making sudden turns, leaving me struggling to catch up. After a few attempts to mimic him I caught on how to do it, so he started swerving around the wooden pillars. Wait, if we're in a house they must be chairs and tables!

After many unsuccessful attempts to follow him I started to try to anticipate where he was going, cutting across his course to catch up. The first time I did so I could almost reach out and touch him, but he used one of the wooden pillars (A table leg, I think) to change course too fast for me to catch up.

After a good ten minutes of running around, I finally managed to tackle him. We both lay where we stopped, utterly exhausted but amazed at how fun that was. After a minute of simply lying there panting, Toothless got up with a chuckle. "Good job, much better. I didn't actually think you could get me at first. Proved me wrong there." I started purring slightly at his praise again.

"Time for you to learn how to pounce now." Toothless wandered off to the fire pit, so I followed him, wondering what he was up to this time. When he got there, he swiped a small half burned piece of wood onto the floor, then joined me where I waited, confused.

"You're going to practice pouncing on that" He flicked his tail at the piece of wood on the floor. "Remember, stay low to the ground, lift your front slightly, then use your back legs to push off, and pounce!" With that he pounced on the wood, smacking it to the side with a paw.

Moving towards the wood, I stopped at a good pouncing distance and lowered myself to the floor. Shifting my body around slightly, I prepared to pounce. Launching myself into the air I landed just short of my target, but gave it a good slap anyway. I turned to Toothless with a question in my eyes.

He tilted his head to the side before answering the unspoken question "Not bad for a first go, but keep your body lower, and remember keep your body straight when jumping up. Try again, but on me this time."

I could see that he was planning something, but I decided to humour him and do it anyway. Crouching down a little further away from him than I was previously, I recalled what he had just mentioned and consciously adjusted my posture, then jumped. Immediately I could feel the difference between this one and the previous, I was moving both faster and further than my previous jump. I could see that I would land dead on top of Toothless.

But instead of staying still, he had obviously decided to give me an extra lesson. Just before I landed on him he turned sideways, so when I hit him he rolled to the side using my momentum against me. Unexpected, he wedged a paw under my chest he pushing against me after we had made a complete roll, sending me crashing into the floor while he nimbly rolled back onto his feet.

Dazed, I pulled myself back to my feet, just to be knocked back down by Toothless, who was laughing playfully. Deciding to let him have a taste of his own medicine, I sprang up and caught him by surprise, knocking him over. Before he could retaliate against me again, I ran off, hearing him growling playfully behind me.

Swerving around a particularly large wooden pillar I still don't know what they are I decided to try to climb it. I slowed down enough to let Toothless get into pouncing range, keeping a careful eye on him. I waited for him to jump, and as he did so I reversed direction. As I ran under him I caught the surprise on his face and felt it at the back of my mind. Returning to the larger pillar I thought of the best way to scale it.

I decided to start off by jumping at a good handhold. As I tried to grab hold of a protruding bit (forgetting that I no longer had hands) I felt some unfamiliar muscles ripple in my hand, causing a set of small claws to pop out of my fingers - toes - whatever they are. Only my front paws got a firm grip on the wood, leaving me dangling by my paws.

I heard Toothless pad up to the base of the pillar, a picture of what I looked like flashing through my mind along with amusement "Having fun up there?"

"I thought I could climb this thing to get a better view of where we are"

He considered this for a moment before reaching up grabbing hold of the pillar, then climbing up to where I was, giving me a good idea of how to climb as a hatchling. When he reached my level (not that high, really) I started climbing up myself, making sure each time that I had got a firm hold before pulling myself further up. Reaching the top I realised that there was a small blocky overhang that I would have to get over. After a lot of wiggling, and a narrow escape from a fall, I managed to pull myself up and over it.

Looking first at what I was standing on I realised that it was a chair, then I got my first good look at where we were.

It looks soooo different to when we were on the ground, I can actually recognise things for what they are from up here! I could see the fire pit that we ran around. I could even trace the path we took when running around aimlessly. And there's the chunk of wood Toothless pounced on! Wait, where is he? Abruptly, I realised that he wasn't up here yet, despite being a better climber. Looking down I saw no trace of him.

"Over here!" Toothless's voice came from behind and above me. Looking in the direction of his voice I only saw the door and the wall. Only when Toothless waved his tail from the top of the door frame did I notice him.

"That was fast. What are you doing up there?"

"I was going to jump the boy when he gets back" He answered with a smirk "Just don't give me away when he returns. Wait, here he comes!"

As the door opened I got a waft of delicious smelling fish. I had never smelt a fish this good for a long time. Ignoring my suddenly demanding belly, I looked at the person who had entered. It was not the same one who was here earlier, but he had a nice smelling fish so I didn't care. The boy looked similar to the one who said he was Hiccup, but not enough so that I thought they were siblings. Hiccup came in after, and moved to stand beside the newcomer.

They both looked at me, confusion written on their faces. "Wait, where's…?" was all that Hiccup managed to ask before Toothless jumped out of his hiding spot, pushing him over. I noticed the other dragon fly up to perch on one of the rafters as his previous perch was floored.

At this point my belly rumbled again, louder, and my attention was drawn to the other boy. Seeing that he was distracted by Toothless's antics, I gauged the distance between us. Preparing myself, I took a running leap at the fish in his hands.

Success! I managed to snatch the fish out of his hands, and found out that he is a good, soft landing pad as well! Before I realised what I was doing I had torn into the fish like I hadn't been fed for the last week. Well, more like the last few centuries, but who cares? Damn, I never realised fish could taste this good!

I was admittedly surprised at how I was eating the fish. Particularly the mess that I was making with it, and the fact that I really didn't care about it either. Whoops! I'm still sitting on that boy! I've probably ruined the shirt, but this fish tastes too good for me to care.

Finishing off the last few pieces of fish I had left, I suddenly felt like all my energy had vanished, leaving me drowsy. I heard my seat ask the other Hiccup "Wow, what species are they? I've never seen anything like them before!"

Without realising that I was speaking Norse, I blurted out "We're Night Furies." Realising that I had spoken Norse by the expression on his face I decided to press on before I fell asleep on my feet.

"Unholy offspring of lightning and death itself" I yawned, barely able to keep my eyes open. "Fear the fury of the night..."

I was barely conscious enough to register Hiccups words "C'mon. lets put them in bed".

The moment I touched it I was out like a light.

AN: Sorry, you don't find out their names just yet, but you will in the next chapter. I have to say that i have got a major case of writers block about the next chapter, i have done about half of it at the moment, but have no idea when it will be finished. Hopefully i can do it by next Thursday or Friday.

Please review! I want to know if it is worth continuing plz! I have got other story ideas that i can start if this one is dying off...
