After the 'meeting' was dismissed, everyone went off to do what they wanted to do, Hiccup following Rapunzel to the kitchens.

"Hey Punzie," he called out to her, making her turn around "You er... You mind if I ask a question. I know it should probably be Eugene I ask this to but the way he looked didn't seem that he'd want to talk about it."

"Um... Ok," Rapunzel said, Pascal on her shoulder glad to be back with her annoyed that she left him behind when they went to get the boys.

"Well... Why did he look so... upset? is that the right word? when I made that small joke about our parents acting like Fugues?"

"Oh..." Rapunzel said blinking not expecting that and looking to Pascal for the answer, who did nothing but shrug his tiny shoulders. "Well... It's because he doesn't, because he didn't..."

"He's never had any has he?" Hiccup said picking up on what she was trying to say and not say at the same time.

"No..." Rapunzel sighed, rubbing her arm.

"I should say sorry to him shouldn't I?" Hiccup said after a bit.

"Huh?" the brunette asked confused.

"I should apologize for bringing something like that up, and thinking that everyone..."

"I think that will be really sweet Hiccup," Rapunzel said smiling "My guess is he's somewhere in North's library," she said stifling a laugh a bit. "Last time he was in there he found his very most favorite book and promised to read it to the Triplets when they wake up. Bit of a warning he kind of likes to play the main charter in that book from time to time."

Confused but thankful for the advice and suggestion on where Eugene might be, Hiccup went to the library to find him.

(*)(*)(*)

Hamish, Hubert, and Harris were all on the floor looking up to Eugene with smiles and paying attention to every word he said as he read from the book he held in one hand as he pretended to wield a sword with the other.

"Flinn dodged the criminals' attacks jumping, ducking, attacking, and defending, left, right and center," Eugene said smiling as he read he most favorite book, it had been so long since he had done this. "After a bit, the thieves gave up, running away back to the woods where they had their camp, forgetting the loot they had stolen from the townsfolk.".

Slowly the door to the library opened and Hiccup and Toothless came in, but no one noticed, they were all too busy with their own things.

"After collecting the bags of stolen goods up off the ground, Flinn slowly began to make his way back to town giving the mayor the bags and explaining that he, for now at least, had scarred the thieves away." Eugene said standing tall as he said how great this character was. "'Please Flinnagain Ryder,' the mayor said thanking him once again 'Please accept this medal as a token of our small town's thanks to you for protecting us against those bandits.'" Eugene said deepening his voice making the Triplets and Hiccup laugh a bit. "'No thanks or medals are necessary, Sir,' Flynn replied gently declining the medal the mayor was holding up. 'I'm just doing what any good hero would do.' And with that he got onto his horse and rode off into the sunset, looking for the next adventure the world would give him, always there to help those in need." Eugene said posing as if for a portrait "The end."

"Aww..." the Triplets moaned together upset that the story was over already.

"Well that was... something," Hiccup said clapping a bit smiling "Never heard of this character back on Berk, I must say."

"Are you kidding me?" Hubert asked loudly getting a look from the Librarian Yeti making him quiet down a bit "How can someone a great as Flinn Ryder not be in any of your stories?" the boy asked shocked.

"I'm not sure," Hiccup said slowly "But you mind if I speak to Eugene for a bit?" he asked.

Quickly nodding the boys got up and went off to find some more books for him to read to them once Hiccup was done.

After some awkward silence and a shove from Toothless, Hiccup said what he came to say.

"I'm... Sorry for... Well for that joke I made about our parents."

"Wait how..." Eugene began looking over the boy's head seeing Rapunzel by the door. "Ah... It's alright Hiccup, I have a family now so it doesn't really matter, it just... Well it just took me by surprise that's all."

"You... You sure?" Hiccup asked trying to find signs of lying but not finding any.

"I'm sure," he said nodding. "So. Berk's never heard of Ol' Flynnagain Ryder ay?" he said holding up the book 'The Tales of Flynnagain Ryder'.

"Well we have Thor, Odin, Loki, Frost Giants, Fraya, Hela," Hiccup began counting off the Gods and Goddess' Viking's have going into some of the legends as well, "But no." he said after being cut off by Toothless after he got to fifteen "We do not have 'Flinn Ryder'."

"Well technically you do..." Rapunzel said coming over laughing slightly loving the way Eugene was trying to tell her not to say anything.

"What do you mean," Hiccup asked.

"Why don't you explain... Flynn Ryder,"she said looking to her husband smirking.

"You can really cruel sometimes you know that Blondie?" Eugene said sighing shaking his head.

"I learn from the best," she said laughing a bit.

"Still not getting it over here..." Hiccup said drawing their attention back to him.

"After I left the Orphanage, before I met Rapunzel, I... Wasn't really the same person you see here," Eugene said slowly.

"Meaning..."

"Meaning I was a pick-pocket, a wanted 'Dead or Alive' thief, a criminal, Basically all the bad things you can think people can be," Eugen said taking a deep breath "And I went under the name of Flynn Ryder." he said holding up the book again. "because being a child with nothing, who admired a hero who could do almost absolutely anything at all... I don't know just seemed like the better option."

"You know I never really liked my name much either," Hiccup said grinning shaking his head "What with it being Viking Tradition to name the runt of the little a 'Hiccup' and all."

"So why'd you stick with it?" Rapunzel asked confused.

"Because one, it was the name my mum gave me," Hiccup said looking up smiling "Two, we Vikings think that horrible names will scare off gnomes and trolls, like our charming Viking demeanor wouldn't do that," he said to himself "And finally me and my friends found out a couple of months ago, what a hiccup lacks in these muscles," he struck a body-builders pose "He gains in this muscle," he said pointing to his head beaming.

"So you going to tell them the story of Hamish's treasure, Hiccup," Astrid's voice came in to the conversation, "Or are you just going to leave them confused?"

"Ok keep your hair on Astrid," Hiccup said waving her off him, "How about we get everyone in here and tell them all at the same time?" he suggested looking to everyone.

After a few minutes everyone was in the library, all waiting on silence to come so Hiccup could start.

"It all started when our village artist Bucket, was asked to do a portrait of me and my father..."
