My favorite chapter! Stoic is going to be amazed! Snotlout might be Hiccup's slave!
Amazing! got it! It is… JAYFEATHER! (read warriors people. awesome series with over 50 books in it)
What are we on, number 5? Well, he has raven black hair, is an orphan, and has a magic stick.
I don't think I can make the deadline. Sorry. My mom only let's me do half an hour of computer at a time so it takes a while. Sigh.

It's the afternoon. Toothless and Hiccup soar over the sea, passing puffy white clouds.
HICCUP Okay, bud. We're gonna take this nice and slow. Here we go, here we go.
Stoic paled. What was Hiccup doing on a DRAGON a thousand feet in the air?
"Oh, Snotlout, you said that vikings couldn't fly." I said smugly.
"Well, technicly, he is not flying. The dragon was." Well, he had a point. Oh well. When they see the trailers he will get it.
He locates the correct position on a piece of paper attached to the saddle.
HICCUP Position three. No, four.
The tail flares open. Hiccup looks around to see if everything is going well. All clear. He tugs on his cheat sheet just to be sure it will stay on.
HICCUP Alright. It's go time. It's go time.
They dive down toward the sea. The tail seems to be working alright. Now time to see if they could make it underneath a sea stack.
HICCUP Come on buddy! Come on buddy!
Hiccup both smiled and frowned when he realized when and where this was. It was great flying with him, but he almost died. Then again, almost dieing was kind of a daily thing.
Toothless momentarily dips his wing down into the spray. The duo pass underneath the arch along with a few gulls. A perfect maneuver.
Gobber was impressed. That boy had a sharp mind, and he could make practically anything.
HICCUP Yes, it worked.
Still unaccustomed to flying, Hiccup doesn't push the pedals right and the crash into a pillar.
HICCUP Sorry!
He pulls back trying to avoid another crash.
HICCUP That was my fault.
Toothless whacks him with his ear, clearly annoyed.
HICCUP Yeah, yeah, I'm on it. Position four, uh three.
Toothless gave Hiccup a look that clearly said 'you have got to get your positions straight.' Astrid noticed and laughed.
They soar upwards, clouds streaming past them. The tallest peak on Berk looms in the distance, but is nothing compared to the height the best friends are at. Hiccup yells with joy.
Woah! Flying is so cool. Hiccup was the first to ever see that sight.
HICCUP Yeah! Go baby! Yes! Oh, this is amazing! The wind in my… CHEAT SHEET! STOP!
The paper has come loose. Toothless obeys Hiccup's command and stops flapping. Weightless, Hiccup's hook and rope come off. They both free fall. Toothless roars in dismay.
The whole room goes silent. It truly was a miricle that the boy as alive.
HICCUP Oh gosh! Oh gods! Oh, no! Alright, you got to angle yourself.
Toothless starts to spin without the control from his rider.
HICCUP Ok, no, no, no! Come back down towards me! Come back down…
Hiccup gets hit in the face from Toothless's tail. By now, they are only a few hundred feet above Berk. Hiccup grabs for the saddle. He fails and tries again. Finally, he gets a grip and pulls himself on. He clips the harness onto the hook and stabilizes Toothless. With the cheat sheet in his mouth he screams. They are gliding just over the tree tops, barely missing them.
Toothless shrieks in fear. Hiccup tries to read the paper to avoid the oncoming rocks, but the wind makes it impossible. Finally he just throws it away. He starts moving his foot to control the pedal, and dodges every rock! The two make it out with perfect coordination.
HICCUP Yeah!
Everyone lets out the breath they didn't realize they were holding. Those two were really amazing. Stoic marveled at the sight. He had never seen Hiccup this happy. Ever. When he was with the dragon, he was a totally different person. He felt shame for ignoring his son. Maybe… the dragon was what let Hiccup out of his cage. Perhaps… NO! He could not feel sympathy. They took Valka. They KILLED her. 'Remember Val, remember Val' Stoic thought.
Toothless shares his excitement and lets out a victory blast. As the purple shock wave passes them, Hiccup groans. A fireball is straight ahead.
HICCUP Come on.
"Did you have to do that bud? I had to explain that I dropped a bucket of oil on a fire to get out of that one." Hiccup complained. Toothless crooned and wrapped around Hiccup to tell that he was sorry. 'Hmmm. Maybe I could make some armour to protect me.' Hiccup mentally made plans to make it awesome!
Well, time for another mini chapter.
Hiccup sits in front of Toothless with burnt, messy hair. He still looks shocked after being torched by a Night Fury. A jlucking sound brings Hiccup back into to reality. He glances at Toothless who has disgorged the head of a fish.
"Umm, awkward!" Ruffnut said.
"Sorry bud, not going through that again." Hiccup apologized with a smile.
HICCUP Ah, no thanks, I'm good.
He gestures at his fish cooking over the fire. Suddenly, a troop of Terrors come in, smelling the fish. Toothless growls and pulls his food closer. One comes up, but Toothless growls. Another takes the fish head and pulls it away. When one tries to steal it, it gets a blast of fire. Back on the pile of fish, one starts moving. It is revealed to be a sneaky terror. Toothless grabs the fish and eats it. The terror paws the ground like a bull. It opens its mouth, but Toothless shoots a miniscule fireball into its maw and the Terror staggers away.
About half of the dragons winced. Accidentally breathing in when shooting a fireball was not pleasent.
HICCUP Not so fireproof on the inside, are ya?
He tosses a fish to it.
Nearby vikings looked at Hiccup in shock. Using his well refined techniques Hiccup said, "Well greedy over here wouldn't share his fish!"
HICCUP Here you go.
The Terror eats it in one gulp and approaches Hiccup. It crawls under his arm like a cat and rests, its little body moving up and down as it breathes.
HICCUP Everything we know about you guys… is wrong.
The vikings looked shocked at a dragon that did not torch Hiccup the first chance it got. Stoic's confidence about evil flying lizards wavered.
