Hey guys! Sorry it took so long to write another chapter. I spend 99% of the time working on the last word. I don't know why :/ This is probably my shortest chapter, and it probably sucks. Anyways, I hope you like it!
BTW did anyone notice that I edited chapter 2?
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]
"You really have a death wish, don't you?" Astrid asked Hiccup. Hiccup shrugged nonchalantly.
[Nothing. Hiccup squeezes through and enters the cove. 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]
Most vikings closed their eyes. Was this going to be the end of little Hiccup?
Hiccup rolled his eyes. Judging from the viking's expressions, they probably thought that he was going to die. Vikings could be so dense sometimes. Wait….
[Hiccup swallows his fear and offers the fish. Doing so he reveals the dagger at his waist. The dragon sees it and hisses. 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]
"Hang on! All this time, we've been scared of a toothless dragon?!" Snotlout exclaimed. "I can totally take this dragon by myself." he boasted proudly. He totally missed Hiccup's and Toothless' glares that were sent his way.
Hiccup: Huh. Toothless. I could've sworn you had…
[A set of razor sharp teeth emerge from its gum to grab the fish. Toothless snatches and gnashes it up, swallowing it.
Hiccup (cont'd): ...teeth
'On second thought, maybe not." Snotlout thought as he shrank on his seat.
[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.
"Here's a friendly tip. NEVER say that to a hungry Toothless." Hiccup advised.
"Why?" asked Fishlegs, eager to learn more about the Night Fury.
"You'll see. Probably." Hiccup answered. Fishlegs nodded and started watching the screen with close attention.
[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… the Toothless regurgitates a chunk of fish onto Hiccup's lap. They exchange estares. Hiccup realizes what Toothless wants him to do]
"Did you eat it?" A little viking toddler asked. No one answered him.
[Hiccup crouches slowly and squirmishly picks it up. The dragon wait expectantly. Hiccup gags and gnaws off a bite off the slimy fish]
Everybody gagged. That was SO disgusting. And that's coming from a viking!
[He forces a smile. Toothless mimics him]
Some of the toddlers giggled. The dragon was just so cute!
[Amazed, Hiccup sits up and tries to touch him, Toothless hisses and flaps off to crash on the other side if the cove. 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.
"Why you gotta be so rude?" Hiccup asked playfully as he scratched Toothless. Toothless just gave an adorable smile.
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. It was a sketch of Toothless. Hiccup draws with a stick, minding his own business]
The vikings stared at the sketch with awe. Gobber basically worshipped Hiccup's drawing abilities. He always talked about them when people asked him about how things were going in the forge. No one really believed him because they thought that he was exaggerating, but now...
[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]
The teens, except Hiccup, stared at Toothless' drawing. What was it? They turned their heads slightly to the right. It still looked like a one-year old scribbled it. They turned their heads slightly to the left, hoping that they could make out… something.
"I think that it's supposed to be you, Hiccup" Tuffnut guessed. Toothless nodded excitedly. He was happy that someone could finally make out what he drew. Was it really that hard?
[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 on one of the lines, eliciting an instant growl from Toothless]
"You're so moody. You know that, right?" Hiccup asked Toothless. Toothless just gave him an annoyed look and laid on the floor, sulking.
[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. 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]
All vikings stared at the screen with awe. That what the most touching scene in this whole entire 'movie'.
Hiccup and Toothless both smiled at each other. They remembered the moment as if it had just happened yesterday.
While all vikings were staring at the screen, no one noticed that the wall between Hiccup and the vikings started to flicker.
