Writers blocks sucks.

Zero, glad to be back! (I really did mean to get this up sooner, but I've gone into a depression. Family matters. So it's been hard to really… Do anything. Sorry if the quality of this chapter has gone down because of that.)

Midnightsky0612, thanks, I'll try and add some bonding moments.

Guest, yea, I can see plant magic being useful.

Erza Ashley, oh no! Not the trees! I might end up stumped! Or maybe I'll get to the root of the problem, and branch out. Well, for now, how about a peace treety? Hehehe… I love puns…. (Also, I'm really sorry this chapter ended up shorter as well, please read my response to Zero's review. It explains why.)

Now that Gajeel had a Dragon, another problem decided to add itself to the mix. Thunder, as it turned out, had a borderline compulsive fear of saddles. The gray Dragon growled at Gajeel, baring its fangs. "Ok, ok, sheesh, no saddle. How am I supposed to ride ya now?"

The Dragon stopped growling, as if that was the first time it had thought of that. Gobber took that opportunity, as no one in their right mind gets close to a growling Thunderdrum, to plop a saddle onto his back. "Got ya now, ya beastie!"

Thunder reacted like Toothless the first time he saw a spider, which unfortunately included a lot of jumping around, some roaring, and destroying the closest building. Luckily, just before Thunder could get to the roaring part, Lucy called out Aries, and had her place her wool over everyone's ears.

Finally, after a few minutes of struggling, Thunder successfully got the saddle off, directing his roars at the offending piece of leather until it was nothing more than a few tattered pieces of material. Satisfied, he sat down, letting out a large yawn. Gajeel reluctant pulled the soft wool away from his ears, only to sigh in relief, they had totally cut out all the sound of Thunders roars. Gobber used his flesh hand to poke at the wool. "This is finely made, lass. If ya could make some more o' this, I'd be grateful."

Aries crossed her arms across her chest, shyly. "I.. I'll try."

She held her hands out in front of her, and conjured up enough wool to last many winters, as well as plenty to trade. "How's this?"

Gobber patted her on the shoulder. "Thank ye, lass. This will help us with many winters." He held a ball of it up closer to his face. "If only it wasn't pink."

Hiccup scratched the back of his head. "Well, I've tried every possible saddle design I can think of, and not one of them has he liked. I don't suppose you have any ideas?"

Hiccup looked up from his notebook, only to see Gajeel laughing like a madman, barely holding onto Thunder's back with his legs, which he had extended and wrapped under the stout Dragons belly. "I'll take that as a no. Gray do you have…"

Gray was using his ice to fix Gajeel to the Dragon. Natsu then decided to join in. "That's not how you do it, ice princess! Gajeel, get comfy, cause I'm gonna melt you on to you Dragon. FIRE DRAGONS RO-"

Thunder ran Natsu over, disrupting his spell. One of Thunders paws landed on Natsu's stomach, causing him to let out a small ball of flame, which hit Gray. "What was that for, Flamebrain!"

"What was what for, Popsicle?" Natsu grinned evilly.

Hiccup sighed, back to the drawing board."Fishlegs, do you have any ideas?"

"No, nothing that you haven't tried yet. Except, maybe Gronckle Iron might work."

"I would have suggested that, but is Meatlug up to making that much Iron?" Fishlegs patted Meatlugs head. "I hope so. Are you girl?"

Meatlug grunted, and licked Fishlegs hand. Hiccup turned back to Gajeel. Erza had joined in, and was glaring at Natsu and Gray, who had their arms over each other's shoulders, pretending to be great friends. Juvia was trying to put out a nearby fire, which Igneo had started, and Lucy had another one of her spirits out, was that a cow? Which was holding Thunder still as Gajeel tried to untangle his newly tangled legs. as he took in this scene, Hiccup couldn't help himself. he burst out laughing, causing a somewhat concerned reaction from Fishlegs. "Sorry. I just… I just realized how this is normal now, but, what, three? Four? Weeks ago, this would have been absurd." Fishlegs took in the scene in front of them, and he too laughed.
