On the other side of the island, it was a bright and early when a Titan Winged Night Fury with glowing green fins on his back descended on Night Wing island. He landed on a different spot earlier to offload the food he gathered from the other islands but he returned to the main land where the other dragons could see him. A dozen of Night Furies gathered at his landing and bowed their heads in respect.

"Welcome back from your hunt Alpha." One of the Night Furies greeted.

"Aye, I left the prey at the usual spot. Tell Spitelout and the others to distribute them later. Make sure the twins don't go near it." Stoick ordered as the green glow on his fins dissipated, reverting back to its obsidian color.

"Yes Alpha."

With that command issued, the rest of the Night Furies scattered to get work done. Stoick would ask his usual aids to report if anything happened while he was gone but he wanted to get some rest. Before he could retire to his caves, he saw Astrid approaching him, "Alpha." She called and he had no choice but to face her.

"Astrid? What is it?" He asked fondly. Since Astrid was born the same hatch year as Toothless, he had high hopes for her when she emerged to be a very powerful fury.

"The Misfortune came over here a few days ago while you were out on your hunt." She informed him.

The Alpha's blue eyes widened, rightfully surprised. He hasn't dealt with Hiccup for quite some time so he was shocked to hear her title being brought up. "What?! Was there any damage, casualties?" He assumed and expected the worse.

"None surprisingly, there wasn't anything. She was completely defenseless while dropping off a hatchling." Astrid shrugged her wings as if there was nothing else to expect from Hiccup.

"A hatchling?" Stoick was confused.

"Firewalker's hatchling made it over to the Misfortune's side and the Misfortune claimed she was just bringing Fang back. Also, she said some Night Fury got injured saving Fang but I think she was lying." She explained to him.

"Hmm, I'll go and take care of that matter. Bring Gobber to me." He commanded.

"Yes Alpha." Astrid quickly takes off to find him.

Moments later, Astrid returned with Gobber beside her. She flew away to leave the two old friends alone. "Hey Stoick! If it's about Toothless, he says he's going on a long hunt!" He relayed the cover up story he mentioned to all of the other Night Furies. Thankfully they bought it and so far, none of them linked Toothless's disappearance to the injured fury Hiccup mentioned.

"I see, but there's a pressing matter I need to ask. Astrid told me that the Misfortune came on our side. Are you absolutely sure she didn't do anything?" Stoick pressed.

"Eh, all she did was drop of a hatchling that somehow got swept up on her side. She didn't do anything dangerous Stoick." Gobber answered nonchalantly as he usually does.

Despite Stoick exuding some pressure as he edged close to Gobber, the two-limbed fury wasn't scared at all. He knew and understood all of his different moods and behaviors. He's known Stoick since they were hatchling's and he's the only Night Fury who's brave enough to call him by his name without a care in the world.

"I assigned you and Gothi to keep an eye on that fury. Who knows what unfortunate things will happen again now that she crossed the threshold?" Right now Gobber knew Stoick was cranky, probably from the long flight he had. He didn't want to deal with any more problems.

"Mind you, she's just your son's age, young and curious about the world. Just like we were!" Gobber tried to shift subjects. "Remember that one time our parents told us not to go near the nest of the Fireworm Queen and we did it anyway?"

"That was something different Gobber. I'm still going to warn that Night Fury." Stoick turned away from his friend, rearing to take off.

"Stoick wait-" Stoick hissed at Gobber to stop his ascent.

"You stay here. She might get some ideas to escape." Stoick turned himself towards the mountain and flew in that direction.

"If that's the case, she would've left long ago! Stoick!" Gobber tried calling out to him but knowing he'll get angry if he were to follow him, he could only stay in the spot he was on. "Hiccup..."


Toothless wing was still sore from overworking it a few days ago. He didn't think those humans would show up again so quickly but this time he manage to damage their ship. He hoped that they won't be back anytime soon.

"Ugh, what is that smell?!" A strange yet pungent scent filled his nostrils when Hiccup landed into the cove. She briefly flew off to grab more medicine and apparently, this one was new to Toothless's snout.

"Remember when I mentioned a smelly plant not too long ago~?" Hiccup couldn't prevent the grin forming on her muzzle.

"I thought you were kidding?!" Toothless took a step back and moved his head away from the smell.

"I don't like smelling this as much as you do but Gothi was the one who told me to give it to you. This is the best herb to use for the pain." Hiccup shook her head dismayed at the scent herself. "Come here and let me put it on you."

"No way! That brown plant smells weird!" When Hiccup came forward, Toothless curved around her to avoid the plant.

"Come on Toothless, it only smells bad for a while. It's supposed to help you!" Hiccup spun herself after him but Toothless continued to evade the plant. She understood that he's a stubborn dragon but he couldn't run away forever.

Toothless pulled his head back and instantly dashed away. Hiccup dropped the plant so she could chase after him. "Toothless, get back here!" She called.

He ran ahead of her, "No way!"

Hiccup growled, "Toothless!"

"Nope!" He yipped happily. Despite Hiccup chasing him, he found this little game of tag a lot of fun. He grinned while circling around Hiccup and she had to shake her head mid-way to prevent herself from getting dizzy. With newfound determination, she leaped to catch Toothless which he dodged with ease as he skipped ahead of her. "Catch me if you can!"

Hiccup started to get less and less frustrated and began wondering why she was chasing after Toothless in the first place. She could almost reach with his tail but Toothless swerved it away before she could pounce on it. She pouted at the male Night Fury when he snickered deviously at her.

The chase went on with Toothless still in the lead, chuckling while Hiccup glared at him playfully. "So, you're going to play it that way huh?" Hiccup had a smug look on her face as she jumped over to him but Toothless rolled himself away from her. Eventually, she accepted that they'll be playing tag for a while.

"Come on, you're having fun too!" Toothless's tongue flung out as he ran. Hiccup was right behind him, following on on all fours. Finally after what Hiccup thought was an eternity, she chomped on Toothless's tail. "Hey!" He yelped surprised. Thankfully, he only felt Hiccup's gums instead of her teeth.

"Caught ya." She smirked. Hiccup placed the tail down and used her own paw to keep him from moving. He grumbled that he lost and Hiccup caught him.

Knowing that neither of them wanted to inhale the scent for long, Hiccup chewed on the plant mixing it with her saliva and rubbed the medicine onto Toothless's wing as quickly as she could. "Cheer up, we'll play tag again later if you want. I had fun." She admitted in the end as she spat out the left over bits of the brown plant that was still on her tongue.

"Really?! Then let's play after- By the skies, that smells awful!" Toothless shook his head when Hiccup finished. The foul smell permeated his nostrils making him cut off his suggestion.

"Talk to Gothi and maybe she can come up with a better scent. Until then, we gotta stick with what we have Toothless." She explained sitting next to him.

"Ughh, I wanna fly! This is so frustrating-OW!" He was flailing his paws but accidentally moved his wings in sync with them.

"How comes you can never stay still?" She shook her head amused at Toothless's antics.

Toothless stood up tall and strong, "I am a Night Fury, offspring of lightning and death itself! I have no reason to stay still!" He beamed with pride.

"Well offspring of lightning and death, might I suggest you take it easy for a bit?" She ran the tip of her tail under his chin once again, causing the great and powerful Night Fury to fall before her paws. He shifted his eyes at her weakly as Hiccup laughed softly at Toothless's paralyzed state. "The mighty fury has fallen! You're too easy Toothless!" Hiccup found it adorable how Toothless could be tricked so easily. Also, it was pay back for the dragon nip Toothless fooled her with the other day.

Toothless couldn't help but croon in his current state. A mixture of pleasure and embarrassment was interlaced in his mind but he felt warm seeing Hiccup laugh so delicately at his blunder. She has been the only one to render him in this state and he honestly didn't mind Hiccup teasing him like this. He purred not wanting to get up yet, "I'll get you someday Hiccup."

"Oh? Is that a challenge?" Hiccup began to tease but her ears suddenly twitched in alarm along with Toothless's ears. Both of their pupils became slit as they sensed a familiar presence approaching them from the skies..

"That's gotta be dad! What is he doing here!?" Toothless jumped up frantically but slumped down the moment he felt pain.

"I have no idea! What are you going to do?!" Hiccup swerved her head from Toothless to the air constantly.

"I'm going to hide, if he knows I'm here and can't fly, he'll be furious!"

"Isn't this the best opportunity to get you out of here though?" Hiccup suggested hesitantly. Even though she was really enjoying her time with Toothless, she knew he couldn't stay with her for long. As his friend, she was willing to sacrifice her time with him for the sake of his health and for Toothless to return home safely. "You can just make up some story and he might buy it."

"No, I can't!" Toothless barged up to her, "You know how unreasonable he is. He's just going to blame you for what happened to me and won't give me the chance to explain, that's how he is. This is probably the best and only time I can stay away from him. There's some stuff going on that I don't want to talk with him about. Besides, he'll get angry at you and I don't want him punishing you because of me. Me getting injured was all my fault and...I don't want to leave you."

Hiccup's eyes softened, making her fully convinced. "Toothless," She says gently until they both hear flapping wings not too far from the cove. She swiped her head to a cave with the entrance half covered by a pile of rocks. "See that cave there? Hide in there. The smell from the plant will hopefully prevent him from catching your scent. I'll figure out why he's here."

Toothless didn't need to be told twice hiding in that cave. He jumped over the rocky fence and crouched himself into the shadows.

"Hiccup!" The Alpha roared.

"Eeek!" His loud booming voice sent a chill down Hiccup's spine as she watched him land. "Alpha?" She couldn't bear to look at him in the eye. Hiccup gulped wondering what he wanted, and hoped that he wouldn't find his son's scent. "W-What brings you all the way out here?"

"I heard you've crossed to our side while I wasn't on the island."

Hiccup was relieved that was the only problem he had. "I-It was only for a few minutes! A hatchling somehow ended up here and I-"

"I also heard another Night Fury was injured saving it. So, where is he?" Stoick sniffed around until the pungent smell of the plant graced his nostrils, "Phew! What in the world is that smell?"

"That's just a-a herb Gothi was telling me about! She wanted me to try and..." Her ramble was cut short when Stoick's dangerous blue eyes stared at her to get back on the previous subject. "Oh the injured dragon! Yeah they um, left not too long ago actually! I just gave them that herb b-before they left!"

"Who were they?" He demanded.

"Ah um actually, I didn't get their name cause you know...I'm a Hiccup! I'm bound to miss something when it comes to dealing with other dragons! Hahaha." She lied.

"Aye, now that is true. That's why you're a Hiccup in the first place. Ever since you've been here, one misfortune after another happens!"

Toothless growled lowly and his pupils became slit with anger. He was thankful it wasn't loud enough for his father to hear, but he could hardly keep himself together.

"You say that, but I haven't done anything wrong!" Hiccup proclaimed. She jumped in front of the cave Toothless was hiding before the Alpha could get any ideas.

"Oh yeah? What about that one time you sneaked in and all the eels somehow got into our waters?" The Alpha reminded.

"I was just a hatchling! I didn't even know what eels were yet!" She defended herself. She didn't know this but this was before the famous Tuffnut incident.

"Or the time you threw those strange flowers from on top of the mountain and got everyone sick!"

"Hey, I got sick too! And I didn't throw it on your side, I was trying to get rid of it and the storm pushed the rest over to you guys! I didn't mean it!" She countered.

"Or that one winter when that avalanche-"

"For the last time, I didn't cause that avalanche! I was asleep in my cove during the whole thing!" She cut him off indignantly.

With a loud sigh he declared, "I've made my decision. Hiccup, the next time you cross our lands, I will take away your flight if you disobey me again." It was the worse punishment any dragon could have, especially Night Furies. Losing the ability of flight is another way of saying death.

"What?! Aren't you being a bit unreasonable?! Please hear me out first-"

"I am not being unreasonable, you had your chance far away from the other dragons but who knows when your misfortune will end up killing someone! Just like my mate!" His intimidating glare made Hiccup lower her ear plates upset that he was still hung over his mate's death. "I only showed you a bit of mercy since you were still a young dragon but since you still have this tendency of causing trouble, I'm not going to let it slide now that you're older. Do you understand?"

"Alpha-"

"Hiccup, I am not leaving until you've settle with your punishment!" He interrupted arrogantly.

"Well, this conversation feels very one-sided." Hiccup rolled her eyes unable to contain her displeasure.

"Hiccup!" He shouted at her.

"Yes Alpha, sir!" She complied hastily.

"Remember: My island, my rules." He made those words clear before flying out of the cove.

When Stoick was out of her sight, she suddenly felt weak and collapsed on the spot. "Hiccup!" Toothless brushed past the rocky fence to check on her.

"Wow, that was worse than dying." She snorted, refusing to get back up.

"No, he threatened to kill you! That's worse!" He emphasized.

"Trust me, he always does. That isn't the first time he said that..." She muttered with a touch of sarcasm, since there was some truth to her statement.

"Hiccup, be serious!"

"I am being serious while trying not to think I'll end up with me dying in some ditch without a tail fin in the end." She remained cynical about it all.

"Hiccup."

She knew from the look on Toothless's face that he wanted answers and her sarcastic coping mechanism wasn't helping his agitation. "Okay Toothless, tell me how horrible I did in front your dad. I can take it." She resigned to whatever words of cowardice she would be inflicted with in a mocking tone.

"Is that how he really is to you?"

Well, Hiccup didn't expect that question. She shook away the fazed look on her face before answering. "You know the part where you said he's unreasonable and doesn't listen to anything you say? That was a pretty good example of it."

"I'm...sorry." Toothless didn't know what else to do but apologize. "Maybe I should've came out."

"Don't say that, it's better that he didn't find you. I think it's good it ended the way it did since he would've actually killed me if he saw you were here and injured. I wouldn't want to imagine the consequences of that." Hiccup nudged him gently when she noticed he was still agonizing over what happened, "Come on, I'll go grab some food. I'll even take the five hour flight to grab some fish for you." She suggested in hopes to lift his spirits.

The male fury remained silent and Hiccup couldn't help but worry. "Toothless?" Hiccup called him again softly, "I'm fine, really. I'm not 'The Dragon of Misfortune' for nothing." She joked at her given title.

"Misfortune or not, next time it'll be different." He pressed his forehead against hers, "I don't want that to happen to you ever again." He swore to her and Hiccup nearly melted at his protective words. She responded wordlessly with a nod that brightened Toothless's face immediately. She smiled along with him while wondering why her scales felt so warm when she heard those words along with his happy expression.


The smelly plant part was suppose to mimic the scene where Hiccup tried to put the saddle on Toothless. I wonder if you guys spotted all of the other scenes that mimicked the movie yet so far? There are still a few I haven't done yet.

LlamaQueen666- Aww thank you! Here's some more! :)

TheSilentFury- The power of the fandom is too strong to resist! Haha, Toothless is already falling for her and he doesn't realize it yet XD It's a good thing Hiccup is comfortable with him now!

Mana- I'm really glad you're liking this so far! And thanks for the suggestion! However, in terms of the continuity and the current plot at the moment, I have to pass on that idea, but I really do appreciate it! (Also Gobber actually acts as the one who tells Hiccup all of his tales and adventures but that hasn't been fully established in the story yet). However! Windshear will be appearing in some way later on the story for sure, so I hope you look forward to that (if I ever get to that point and I don't give up on this fic).

Guest- Here's another one! :D
