Everyone made their way to the snack bar as expected.

Vikings piled up their plates with food they never even heard of.

Hiccup was in a daze. He didn't really feel like eating, so he made his way to an empty table to think about what just happened.

He couldn't believe it! He actually hung out with a dragon! He got a dragon to trust him! And a Night Fury at that!

He gave off a small smile in his dazed state. Maybe Vikings have given dragons the wrong name. Maybe, dragons weren't that bad. What he just witnessed on the screen, and what was supposed to happen in the future, proved that much.

He felt a tap on his shoulder and he turned around to see Olympian smiling at him.

"So, not hungry, huh?" She said, sitting down beside him, her plate piled up with food.

"Nope. But, you sure are."

She laughs.

"When am I not?"

They both gave off a small chuckle.

"What do you think? About your future?"

Her grin is contagious and he smiles.

"It seems great, actually. I mean, I'm friends with a Night Fury aren't I? It seems pretty great. Though, I do wonder what the other Vikings are going to think about everything."

Olympian sighs and gives him a sad smile.

"Well, at first its pretty rough, but I promise, it definitely gets better at the end."

"As long as everything works out ..." He trails off as he looks up to see the strange Dragon Warrior staring at him, acting like they are talking to their Stormcutter. "Olympian? You've never told us ... just who is that 'Dragon Warrior' person? I've never seen anyone like him."

"Well, first off, it's a she, and second off, she is a very important person to your past and future."

Hiccup stared at the girl.

"Wait, so you mean, we've met before?"

"Oh, you have more than just met, Hiccup"

With that, she gave him a wink, picked up her plate, and walked away, leaving a very confused Hiccup behind her.

He sat there, thinking of what the strange girl was talking about when he heard a soft growling sound coming from behind him.

He jumped and turned around, shocked to see who was behind him.


The Night Fury finally decided that he was going to communicate with the small boy from the woods.

He looked around for him and spotted him sitting alone with that strange girl that kidnapped them.

He waited for her to walk away before he went to the dragons snack bar, which was just fish, and grabbed a bucket full of Icelandic cod.

He carried it over to the boy that didn't notice him and gave off a small growl to grab his attention.

Hiccup jumped and looked seemingly surprised and scared to see the Night Fury behind him.

The dragon grunted and dropped the bucket of fish at his feet. They stared at each other for a while, both not sure what to do next.

Hiccup fiddled with his hands, trying to think of something to say to the creature. I mean, what do you say to a creature that has been terrorizing your village for years, that you shot down, and then befriended?

Finally, the Night Fury spoke up, tired of the awkward silence.

"Hiccup, it has come to my attention that, in our future, we are to become friends. So, I wanted to go ahead and take the chance to get to know you."

Hiccup stared. The Night Fury talked in a deep, but a wise voice. Hiccup knew that this dragon was smart, and he was sure that it wasn't just the Night Fury, but almost all the dragons were very intelligent, a lot more than Vikings give them credit for.

"Oh! Well, um, okay. What do you wanna know?"

"Whats your favorite color?"

"Green. You?"

"Black."

"Of course!"

They talked for the rest of the break. They talked like old friends that haven't seen each other in years. Vikings gave them weird looks, but they didn't care. The Night Fury ate his fish as he talked with the boy.

You know, he thought. I think were gonna be great friends.


Olympian sat by the Dragon Warrior, looking around the cafeteria in joy.

Everything was working out just as she planned.

She looked over at Hiccup to see him smiling and laughing with Toothless.

She chuckled and the Dragon Warrior did the same before she sighed and looked over at the girl.

"Dear, when can I show them?"

Olympian looked over at her and rested her hand on her shoulder.

"Soon, Valka. We just need to wait until the end of the movie, when everything is better."

Valka sighed again.

"They treated him so harshly, Olympian. Sometimes I think, maybe it would have been better if I came back."

"None of this is your fault, Val. This was Hiccups' fate. This is how it was supposed to be."

Valka gave off a faraway look, deep in her thoughts.

"I came to late. One day. One day as a family was all I could give to both of them. If I came back..."

"Then Hiccup wouldn't have met Toothless. Hiccup wouldn't be the Pride of Berk. Hiccup wouldn't be the same 20-year-old man that you know. This is just the way it was meant to be."

Valka gave her a sad smile.

"I understand."

Olympian gave her a pat on the back before she stood up and made her way to the middle of the room. Everyone was yelling and chattering, not paying attention to anything around them.

"HEY!"

There was an abrupt stop in the commotion as everyone turned around to see the brunette.

"Okay, guys! Now that you have all enjoyed your snacks, it's time to go back to the theater room and finish the movie!"

There was a loud roar of cheers as the rowdy Vikings threw away their trash and made their way back to the original room.

Hiccup and Toothless walked in, glued to the hip, still talking about whatever.

Olympian smiled.

Their already great friends.


I appreciate the reviews!
