Um…. I'm not dead?

SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING GUYS IM SO SORRY!!

So SPOILER ALERT this is when Stoick comes in, along with the rest of the teensGobber. So not only do they find Hiccup and Alex, they find Valka as well! So this one is all explanations, and reunions! HOPE YOU GUYS ENJOY!!!

We hadn't planned on staying so long, it just happened. But when we learned it was time to go, we got a rude awakening.

From my father.

I wasn't exactly happy or angry to be reunited with him, because I still had touchy feelings towards him.

And when we ran into him...Alex definitely wasn't happy. It might've been my fault, because I might have given away our location…

Yeah definitely my fault.

So we were taking a break from exploring for a few minutes, because Toothless and Starfire were exhausted from flying so much. I was snoozing on Toothless while Alex played with the babies,(she loved baby dragons. Once she sees them, you can't get her away from them.) none of us even heard the vikings walking in the tunnels and sneaking up on us. Until they actually came out of the tunnel opening in the wall.

Guys-

Star was cut off when Gobber clamped his snout shut, and then Toothless was on his feet in an instant. I, on the other hand, took a minute to understand what was going on, and found out only when my father covered my mouth with his large hand, and held out his other one to Toothless to calm him down.

"Easy, dragon." he calmed.

Toothless did not stop growling.

I looked up at Alex, who was a bit occupied with Gobber, who had one arm around Starfire, and the other around Alex.

"Let me go you slut!" She yelled.

"And who are ye to talk to me like that?" He countered.

Alex tried to reach for her swords, but thankfully, her hands were strapped to her sides. Alex was strong, but she was no match for Gobber.

I finally got out of my father's grip, and stood in front of him. A small gasp escaped his lips as he got to see the full view of me, the first time for five years, and I him.

His beard had grown a bit more, and he added a few more braids, which were streaked with gray from his many years. His axe still hung at his side, the same one he threatened to kill me with when I was held captive after the battle with the nightmare.

"Hi-hiccup." he muttered. "You...you've grown."

"Yeah." I said. "Getting older can do that to you."

"Hiccup where have you been?" He asked. "We've been searching for years and you never came back! You never even mentioned the girl!" he gestured toward Alex.

"'The girl' has a name." She retaliated. "And if you let me go, I might not chop off your limbs!"

Gobber let her go, and she reached for her swords.

Not surprised.

"Alex don't do it!"

She froze, but kept her eyes steady on Gobber before she lowered her hands. I turned to my father once again.

"Now why are you here and how?" I asked.

"Because we need ye back at Berk, 'Iccup." Gobber answered.

"I was already coming back." But I didn't want to. I added mentally. "We had a little...setback."

"We know." Stoick said. "Astrid told us."

"Astrid?" I exclaimed. "You met the others?"

"They came back to Berk and told us what happened." he quickly explained. "So astrid had her nadder track you down using your helmet that was left when you were taken, and led us here."

"So all of you are here?" I asked.

He nodded. "We need all the help we can get with this rogue rider going around."

My breath hitched.

Uh oh.

I looked at Alex and we shared a look. "Um, actually we found the rider." I told him.

"Good." My father said. "Then let's go have a little 'chat' with them." He said, and grabbed his axe from his side. Before I could stop him, he was in the tunnels and heading straight towards the cave my mother was in.

"Uh, dad!" I called after him, and ran to catch up with Gobber behind me.

"I don't think you really need that axe, dad." I said to him, but he didn't put it away nor stop.

"And why shouldn't I use it?" He asked me.

"Because this rider is a friend, and very good friend, family even!" I answered. He still didn't stop.

"In your opinion maybe, but we don't know this person, Hicup." He said. "They can't be trusted."

I was about to retaliate, but he slipped through a crack in the rock and disappeared. I ran after him, and met a very shocked father. I turned up and saw my mother standing in front of a wall of ice, looking just as shocked as Stoick.

But despite the shock, she spoke.

"I know what your gonna say, Stoick." She started. "How could I have done this." My father started to slowly walk towards her, dropping his axe on the ground.

"To you, to our son." She continued. "And why didn't I ever come back?"

He came closer to her, and took off his helmet. Still, she continued.

"What sign did I have that you could change, that anyone on Berk would change." She started to back up to the wall, but Stoick got closer to her with every word.(literally and metaphorically)

"I thought that Hiccup would be better off without me." She was almost crying, but she held back her tears. "But I was wrong, I see that now."

She was against the wall and Stoick had gotten close enough that he could touch her.

"Oh, stop being so stoick, Stoick." She said. "Shout, scream, say something!"

He reached her, and cupped her chin in his hand while staring into her eyes.

"You're as beautiful as the day I lost you." He whispered.

That was it. Those few words, they meant so much more than they sounded. The years alone without his best friend, his wife, all poored into those words.

A single tear fell from her face, and it was silent. But in the air, I could feel the emotion of what had happened, and I had a feeling everything was going to be good.

"You would never believe what's happened to Berk!"

Fishlegs was giving my mother a run down of what's happened with Berk in the past years, while my father tried to convince her to come back with us.

The rest of the riders, including Alex, were out scouting the island, while exploring every inch. Toothless was asleep beside Gobber, snoring with no end. I wanted some time with my mother but I needed someone to explain what had happened in my absence. But she still didn't know that why I had left…

Which was going to be hard to explain.

"We have stables, grooming stations, even all you can eat feeding stations!" Fishlegs continued. "Its all basically a perfect balance of Viking and dragon."

"It all sounds amazing," my mother said while setting some fish on a plate. "And I want to go, really, but I can't just leave the nest." She set the fish down on a table and turned to Stoick. "And what about Hiccup? Why just now is he going back to Berk? And come to think of it, why did he leave in the first place?"

I looked at the ground and suddenly found it very interesting. Toothless finally woke up, and noticed that things were getting tense. Fishlegs whistled. "I guess I should be going. Lots to see, and little time to see it." He walked out of the cave, leaving eerie silence.

After a minute, my mother spoke. "Well? Why did he leave?"

I cleared my throat. "It's a long story, and not very happy one either." I warned her.

She leaned against the table. "I have time."

I sighed. "Alright. I warned you."

We're doomed. Toothless said.

"And I haven't seen Berk since." I finished. I stared at my mother after the story, but she wouldn't meet my eyes, or Stoicks. But after a long moment of silence, she spoke.

"You were sentenced to death by your father?" She asked, and I nodded.

"You defeated the Red Death, and in doing so, almost died for the island that wanted to kill you?"

I nodded.

"And you told you're father you would only be gone for a few day, but you haven't seen Berk for five years?!"

Again, I nodded.

She put her hands on her head and I swallowed nervously. This wasn't going well at all.

"Val?" My father took a step towards his wife. "Are you alright?"

My mother wouldn't meet his eyes. Instead, she walked past him and grabbed a vase off of a table. "I just need to think for a minute." She walked past him and held the vase under a melting icicle.

It became silent again, and I didn't think things were gonna get better. But then I heard something that surprised me.

Whistling.

I looked at my father and saw that he was the one making the sound, the clear, beautiful sound I would never expect him to be able to make. The whistling became a tune, but I couldn't recognize it. But Gobber did.

"Oh, I love this one." He said, twirling a chicken bone.

My father stepped towards my mother, who looked like she was listening to every note. He gently took the vase away from her and set it down, causing her to set her hands down. He stopped whistling, and whispered in her ear.

"Remember our song, Val?" He said, but she was silent.

"I'll swim and sail on savage seas." He began to sing, and it was a bit rusty I could tell, but it was better than most Vikings I've heard.

"With ne'er fear of drowning." He continued. "And gladly rose the waves of life, if you will marry me."

The tune I still couldn't put my finger on, but it seemed familiar, like an old memory. He kept singing. This time a little bit louder and clearer.

"No scorching sun, nor freezing cold, will-"

"Will stop me on my jour-" Gobber began to belt out the lyrics, but realized that he was inturrupting something. "-ny. Sorry." He sat back down and looked at the ground apologetically, and Toothless rolled his eyes.

"If you will promise me your heart." Stoick continued.

"And love," he waited for Valka, but she did not join. Stoick started to walk back, but the song was then resumed.

"And love me for eternity." She sang, and it was beautiful. Her voice was warm and loving, and filled with emotion.

She took in a breath and continued the tune. "My dearest one, my darling dear. You're mighty words astound me." She walked away from Stoick but started to hold out her arm. "But I've no need of mighty deeds when I feel your arms around me." She was smiling by now, and so was Stoick. He joined his arm with hers in a dance.

"But I would bring you rings of gold, I'd even sing you poetry."

"Oh would you?" She laughed.

"And I would keep you from all harm, if you would stay beside me." He sang.

"I have no use for rings of gold, I care not for your poetry. I only want your hand to hold,

"I only want you near me." Stoick finished, but the song wasn't done.

"To love, to kiss, to sweetly hold, for the dancing and the dreaming." They sang in perfect unison, as if they had practiced for years for this moment.

"Through all of life's toils and delights, I'll keep your love beside me. I'll swim and sail on savage seas, ne'er a fear of drowning. And gladly ride the waves of life, if you will marry me!"

They left on a long note, which was carried on by Gobber. And it wasn't nearly as pretty. He held it for a few seconds before I finally stopped him.

I thought my head was gonna burst. Toothless complained.

Lighten up, this is a happy moment. I told him, and laughed.

Stoick sighed happily. "I thought I'd die before I would sing that song again." He said, and Valka laughed.

"No need for drastic measures." She laughed.

"For you my dear," he said, getting on one knee. "Anything."

I took a step towards them. "So, what do you say mom?" I asked. "Will you come bacl with us?"

She looked at Stoick, then back at me. "Yes." She simply said.

"Great!" Gobber came up behind them and swung his arms around them. "I'll do the cooking." We laughed, but the moment was short lived.

Outside, we started to hear dragons roaring, canons booming, and arrows whirring in the air. And a single voice rang out.

"DRAGO IS ATTACKING!"

Well, it probably wasn't worth the wait, but here it is!! Next chapter should be soon, don't worry. And for my explanation of not posting for a month:

I had a big, major, writers block.

That, and ANOTHER thing happened, along with a bunch of other stuff. As for the contest story, it will still happen, don't worry. But next year, its gonna be one shot only. It can still be in any fandom, and now It can be Supernatural as well! I just got to season six, so no spoilers.

HOPE YOU ENJOYED AND PLEASE REVIEW!!!!
