(Johann's POV)(The docks)

"Son?" Stoick said in disbelief looking at him carefully then to me and Ripper "You three are alive? After five years you didn't come home?" he asked

"We couldn't, we wanted to but we couldn't, you see we aren't Viking we're well… dragon riders." Hiccup said bluntly to his father

"You what?" he asked looking slightly angry "You mean you don't kill dragons you ride them?!" his voice rising as Stoick took a step forwards I drew my short bow and said "you really do not want to do that." I said harshly suddenly the teens had drawn their weapons and stood in front of their chief "we will kill you lot as well if we have to. If it means that we don't get harmed then we will and I don't want to do that." I said and looked at Astrid who looked at Stoick then back at me, she then did something I never believed would happen, she stepped up to us and turned around and said "I choose the dragons." The group from Berk looked at her as if she just killed someone "what are you talking about? We are Vikings! We have kill them or else we die!" Stoick said then the rest of the teens joined Astrid, Stoick turned to Gobber who was lowering his axe "you too?!" asked Stoick looking shocked that his friend had choose those beasts rather than his friend "I'm sorry Stoick but you haven't seen what they have done with the dragons." He replied looking down and moving over to us "well then I will try!" Stoick shouted as he charged with the rest of the men from the ship

"Wait." I ordered the teens they looked at me as if I was crazy, then suddenly riders on Nadders appeared with short bows drawn "you see Stoick this island is one of the best protected because we don't kill dragons." I walked forwards and looked into his eye level with mine "you lost your son five years ago because he knew you would never listen to him and look at him now he is as strong as Spitelout and as fast as Astrid, he's changed." I shrugged "yes some can say he has changed for the better but look at him now. Really look! You made us into this and we prefer it now." I said then Stoick looked at his ex-son he had changed. A lot. Stronger. Faster and more Viking-like than ever walking over to Hiccup I asked "you alright?" he looked back at me and said "you were a little harsh but it was the truth." Astrid came up to me and Hiccup and said to me "Can I talk to Hiccup alone please?" I nodded and left the couple

(Hiccup's POV)

"What's up? I asked her after Johann had left us she turned back to me and said;

"I've missed you." She looked at me shocked I stayed still for a few seconds for it to register me then looked at her and replied "I've missed you too." Closing up to her and hugging her "what's up?" I asked her, I could feel her silently sobbing against me looking down I saw the tears streaming down her face she then began to tell me her story…

(Johann's POV)(With Stoick)

"Listen Stoick you may not like us working with the dragons but it's our choice although we have a proposition for Berk." I said he turned and looked at me "we will help you train dragons if you want it might even bring Hiccup back if you're willing to allow it, I mean it would be best since I can still see that Hiccup still likes Astrid a lot." I smiled then the look on Stoick's face was bad "what's the matter?" I asked now worried

"a few years ago Astrid was well attacked by some foreigners and well she lost something special to women if you know what I mean." I understood perfectly I felt a wave of anger pass over me "and you know the rules. No woman can marry the next in line if their bounds have been broken." Stoick recited from the elder's book

"Ah but it worked with you if I remember correctly." I saw a quick smile on Stoick face

"yes but the village was in favour for it because if I remember correctly the rest says 'unless the village is in favour of the marriage, no woman can marry the next in line if their bounds have been broken or the next in line is a traitor." I sighed at this then I looked up and said

"but hiccup is no traitor and every other village we have been to have had their traditions changed why not berk?" at this he brightened and said

"Would you say this is a start to get my son back?" he asked hopefully

I replied "it would be a start." I watched him run down to the docks "GET THE BOATS READY WE'RE GOING HOME!" Ripper then came up to me and asked what have you done?"

"hopefully changed his mind about everything."
