What up peoplezez

New chapter, Same craziness

Enjoy

Johnny could not be in any worse of a mood than the one he was in the week following Stoick's announcement that Berk was now at war with Turku. Not only had almost the entire village effectively ostracized him due to the belief that it was his fault all of this happened, but the feeling of sticking out like a sore thumb that had hung over him ever since he arrived in that time period seemed to be a lot worse than usual as well. With most people preparing for the war, it was hard for the time-displaced teenager to even start a conversation, much less ask if he could help. Stoick had pretty much cut off all communication between himself and Johnny, which gave him a sort of bittersweet relief since it meant no more attempts to help him for the foreseeable future.

Johnny was currently staying with Astrid and her parents, who were part of the few people who still sympathized with him and believed it wasn't his fault Mordan decided to stick his nose into Berk's business. Hiccup and the others dropped by on regular intervals to see how he was holding up with being the village's newest social pariah. Gobber had even dropped by on a few occasions to tell him that his attempts to get Stoick to talk to him were, as of now, not going well.

"I told you before, Gobber." Johnny said during the last visit. "I don't care. The less I have to do with that joker, the happier I'll be".

Yet Johnny wasn't happy at all. The longer Berk made him feel unwelcome, the more he missed being in his own time. It was already bad enough that he was in an area that had too many dragons in it, though his tolerance for them had been improving bit by bit as he was now in such a bad mood that he had forgotten to be mean to Toothless, but now he was more or less made out to be the source of all of Berk's troubles. He was now wishing for something to take his mind of the gloom that had surrounded his life.

Ironically, that something came the night after he shot down Gobber's last message about Stoick. Like every other night that week, Johnny was having a hard time getting to sleep that night from all the stress he's been in. With nothing going on at this time of night, he just sat on the edge of his bed and wondered if he was ever going to get back to his own time.

As the thought was going through his mind, Johnny heard a faint rumbling outside. Aware that there was no sort of rain outside, he made his way over to the window and looked out. Staring right at his window, harness lying right in front of him, was Toothless. Had it not been for the prosthetic tailfin, Johnny would have assumed that it was some sort of burglar or something. It took him a while to realize it had been a while since he had a problem with the dragon's presence.

"What do you want?" Johnny asked miserably.

Toothless made a grunt toward the harness and looked back up at Johnny. It didn't take a rocket scientist for Johnny to figure out what the dragon was referring to.

"Oh, no way man," Johnny said. "You know full well how much I hate flying, Toothless".

Toothless hung his head, ears dropped in obvious sadness. Johnny stared down at the dragon for a while. As much as he detested Toothless being anywhere near him, he couldn't help but feel a little bad for him for some odd reason. With a hard groan, he slunk out of the house without waking everyone else up and went over to the dragon.

"All right, I'm only going to do this one time," he said. "But just promise me you'll leave me alone after that".

Toothless gave a low growl but did not complain. He just stood there as Johnny shakily strapped the harness around him. Luckily, Johnny had long since known how to attach the harness because his mother had made him study the blueprints tediously even though his still had the full effect of his fears at the time it happened. After a while, Johnny managed to get the harness fully on and had strapped himself in.

"All right, start it nice and slow, Toothless," Johnny said. "I don't want any of the villagers to know that I'm going…!"

Johnny barely had time to react to Toothless taking flight and maneuver the tailfin so that they would stay in the air. The dragon then kept making all the sudden and drastic turns in the air that Johnny was being rocked around just trying to hold on. When Toothless finally stopped making those movements and was flying slowly, Johnny was not only freaked out but was seriously winded.

"Thanks for nothing… you useless reptile," he gasped.

Toothless' response to this usual insult was by smacking him with one of his long ears. This got Johnny to stop spazzing out about being in the air long enough for him to notice that the dragon wasn't trying to kill him at all. On the contrary, it felt as if he was on top of the world and never wanted to go down. Toothless looked up at the human and shot him a smile, to which Johnny hesitantly replied with his own.

After what felt like an eternity in the air, Johnny and Toothless finally landed back outside Astrid's house. Johnny slowly unhooked himself from the harness, slide off Toothless' back, and began making his way back toward the door. Just as he got to the handle, however, he heard Toothless' low whine behind him. Turning around, Johnny saw that the dragon was edging toward him, as if he expected to be patted on the head, something that Hiccup always did after a flight.

"Ugh… bleeding hearts of the world unite…" Johnny groaned.

Without even bothering to leave the door, Johnny took his free hand and held it level to where Toothless' head was. Taking the hint, Toothless walked up and placed his forehead on Johnny's palm. It ended up not lasting too long, and when Johnny finally went back inside, Toothless just stood in front of the door slightly dejected about what had happened.

Yes, I know there was nothing in regards to action in this chapter and yes, I know some of you are thinking I'm making Johnny warm up to Toothless a little too fast. Just trust me you guys, this is all part of the story
