CUT TO: EXT. COVE - MAGIC HOUR CLOSE ON A fish... being thrown into the cove. It hits the ground and slides. A moment later, Hiccup peeks through a gap in the rock, looking around cautiously. Nothing. Hiccup squeezes through and enters the cove.

"So if one time makes me idiotic and the second makes me suicidal what does the third time make me," hiccup asked his father. Stoick is silent.

A BEAT, then Hiccup hears a SNORT from behind him. Hiccup turns to see the Night Fury, crouched on a rock like a stealthy panther. It descends, approaching him... ready to pounce. Hiccup swallows his fear and offers the fish. Doing so reveals the dagger at his waist. The dragon sees it and hisses.

"This is it your going to die," Tuffnut says.

"I wonder if there will be any serious mauling?" Ruffnut asks. No body but Gobber seems to see stoick turn white at the twins words.

"Guys this is in the past and I am obviously still right here alive and well," hiccup tells them.

Hiccup reaches for it, eliciting a growl. He pauses, carefully lifts it by the handle, and tosses it away. The dragon calms. As it approaches the fish, Hiccup notices that it's missing teeth.

"I'm confused didn't the Dragon have teeth a little while ago?" Anna asks the question almost everyone is thinking.

HICCUP Huh. Toothless. I could've sworn you had...

A set of razor sharp teeth emerge from its gums to grab the fish. Toothless snatches and gnashes it up, swallowing it.

HICCUP (CONT'D) ... teeth.

"Does that count as a near death experience?" Jack asks.

"You wouldn't really die by losing a hand," Gobber says waving his prosthetic around.

"Yeah but if he lost his hand there in the cove it would be hard for him to get out with only one hand and nobody knows how far away it is so by the time that he got to the village he would have lost a whole lot of blood, and who knows what kind of animal might be attracted by the blood, and then of course there is the risk of infection." Jack said.

"Point made,"Faye said making another tally on the board.

The teeth retract again. Toothless presses closer with an expectant look. Hiccup retreats nervously.

HICCUP (CONT'D) Uh, no. No, I don't have any more.

The Fury backs Hiccup against a rock, placing himself the same position as before. The dragon closes in over him, staring blankly. A tense moment passes...

"What's going to happen? Are you going to die?" The twins ask hiccup.

"This is probably one of the worst experiences of my life," Hiccup said shuddering.

then Toothless regurgitates a chunk of fish onto Hiccup's lap. They exchange stares. Hiccup realizes what Toothless wants him to do.

"no you didn't," fishlegs said in disbelief.

Hiccup crouches slowly and squeamishly picks it up. The dragon waits expectantly. Hiccup gags and gnaws off a bite of the slimy fish. He forces a smile.

The dragons were shocked not only did the night fury offer the food to the human boy but the human boy also ate it.

Toothless mimics him. Amazed, Hiccup sits up and tries to touch him. Toothless HISSES and flaps off to a crash on the other side of the cove.

"somebody has personal space issues," Flynn and Kristoff say while Jack and Hiccup laugh.

He BLASTS the mossy ground to a red-hot temperature... and curls up on it like a giant dog. He turns to find Hiccup seated beside him. Toothless tolerates his persistent presence... until Hiccup tries to touch his damaged tail. Toothless SNAPS at him. Hiccup takes the hint and leaves.

"how have you not died yet?" Gobber asks hiccup who just shrugs.

DISSOLVE TO: EXT. COVE - LATER It's MAGIC HOUR. Toothless wakes, hanging upside down from a tree. He spots Hiccup sitting on the other side of the cove. Sketching in the sand.

"That's weird. Who knew a Dragon slept like a bat. Well have to add that to the book of dragons." Gobber mumbled to himself.

CLOSE ON a sketch of Toothless. Hiccup draws with a stick, minding his own business. Toothless appears behind him, watching carefully. Aware of his presence, Hiccup continues, trying not to scare him off. Toothless walks off. A moment later, he reappears with an entire sapling, drawing lines in the sand. He rushes here and there, making haphazard lines in every direction.

"what's he doin'?" Merida asks.

Finally, Toothless drops the tree and inspects his work. He seems pleased. Hiccup stands and takes in the sprawling scribble, amazed by it. He accidentally steps onto one of the lines, eliciting an instant growl from Toothless. He steps on it again. Toothless growls again. Realizing how sensitive he is, Hiccup steps carefully between each line, turning round and round until he unwittingly bumps into Toothless.

"something is going to happen. I just know something's going to happen!" Anna and rapunzel say starring wide eyed at the screen.

Toothless snorts. Once again, they're face to face. Hiccup slowly extends his hand. Toothless hesitates. Hiccup turns his head away and closes his eyes. To his amazement, Toothless bridges the gap and presses his muzzle against Hiccup's hand. In a flash, the dragon is gone, leaving Hiccup astounded.

"well that was interesting," Flynn says summing up everybody's thoughts.
