Dragon Music Tales

Welcome

Summary: After their first flight around the new and reformed village of Berk after Hiccup woke up after the Battle of the Red Death, the Misfit Trio have their own fun with their dragons in the place where it all began.

Post-HTTYD.

Requested by Arwen the Storyteller.

After the Trio circled the island with the other Dragon Riders, they broke away to have some quality time with each other and their dragons.

"You really scared us to death, brother." Ragnar said.

"Next time, let's avoid near-death situations." Cosette added.

Hiccup only laughed. "I don't know. I may have a feeling those might become more common, so you need to get used to it."

"Those things are things that one can never get used to." Ragnar said.

"Hey, let's hang out at the cove for a couple of hours." Cosette suggested. "We'll have plenty of time to head back to the village for Hiccup's "Hero's Welcome" feast celebration."

The Haddock boy sighed. "I never though that the day will come that I might have a hero's welcome." He admitted.

"Well, you deserve it." Ragnar told him with a smile.

His foster brother returned the smile and looked over over the forest. Call him a little crazy, but now that his tribe had made peace with the dragons, the atmosphere around him felt more... united. Like, this is how things should've been all along, and now that it does, the future does seem brighter.

From that feeling swelling through his being, Hiccup began to sing as Toothless slowly began to descend into the forest.

Hiccup: There is nothing complicated
About the way we live.
We're all here for each other, happy to give.
Proud of who we are.
Humble beneath the stars.

Cosette then joined him as she flew in with Violet beside him on his left, with Ragnar and Fossil following suit on his right.

Cosette: We've everything we need.
The moon, the sun.
There is more than enough here for everyone.
All we have we share,

Both: And all of us we care.

Ragnar: So come on!

The three then flew up a little higher to see the horizon before they dove back down to enter the cove.

All: Welcome to our family time!
Welcome to our brotherly time!
We're happy for givin' and takin' to the friends we're makin'.
There is nothing we won't do.

Welcome to our family time!
Welcome to our happy to be time!
This is our festival,
Ya know the best of all,
We're here to share it all.

The Trio landed in the cove and dismounted their dragons. They then began to massage them under their chins.

Cosette: There's a bond between us nobody can explain,
It's a celebration of life.

Hiccup: And seeing friends again.

Ragnar: I'll be there for you.

All: I know you'll be there for me too.

Ragnar: So come on!

After the massage, they went over to the pond while singing. Grinning mischievously, Hiccup reached his fingertips into the cool water and then flicked some of the water at Ragnar. He then got him back, but he also got Cosette as well. It soon became a full-out water fight.

All: Welcome to our family time!
Welcome to our brotherly time!
This is our festival,
Ya know the best of all,
We're here to share it all.

Soon, the brawl lessened, and Cosette wandered over to a nearby patch of flowers. But, she didn't pick them as she looked up at the afternoon sun. Ragnar and Hiccup soon joined them, along with their dragons.

Cosette: Remember love once departed;

All: Someone near to your heart.

Fossil and Violet decided to tease their riders as they pushed them closer to each other, making him blush at the other's proximity. Hiccup hid his laughter behind one hand, while Toothless laughed draconically. But, the two gave each other some space while give their friends, human and dragons, a glare. But, eventually, they all were laughing.

Hiccup: Finding love, planning a future.

All: Telling stories and laughing with friends.
Precious moments you'll never forget.

After their laughter died, Hiccup looked around the cove as memories from the past few weeks came back into his mind. He saw images of himself doing practice flights, trying to learn how to synchronize the prosthetic tailfin with Toothless' movements, while Cosette and Ragnar took notes on how to improve. And on breaks, they would all just hang out, eating lunch.

Hiccup: This has to be the most beautiful,
The most peaceful place I've ever been to.
It's nothing like I've never seen before.

When I think how far I've come I can't believe it,
Yet I see it.
And then, I see family,
I see the way we used to be.

His foster brother then came up beside him and placed a hand on his shoulder with a smile on his face. He then led him back to Toothless, and the Misfit Trio took back to the skies.

Ragnar: Come on!

All: Welcome to our family time!
Welcome to our brotherly time!
We're happy for givin' and takin' to the friends we're makin'
There is nothing we won't do.

Welcome to our family time!
Welcome to our happy to be time!
This is our festival,
Ya know the best of all,
We're here to share it,
We're here to share it all!

With that ending note, the three riders zoomed towards the horizon and back towards Berk. There was still the rest of the day to celebrate, and it will most likely carry on into the night.

A/N: Sorry! I wanted to upload this on Thanksgiving, but I was out of town for the holiday, and I had limited access to the Internet. Oh, well. I hoped you all have enjoyed this little one-shot.

The song I used is "Welcome" from Brother Bear. I love that movie. I got to find some time to watch it again. It's the Phil Collins version instead of the Blind Boys of Alabama, though I personally prefer the latter version.

I hoped y'all had a good Thanksgiving. And I have three one-shots planned for Christmas, my favorite time of year.

Until then, I'll see you guys soon. Please leave a review about what you think or if you have song requests.

Got to fly! ;)
