EPILOGUE

One year after...It was already graduation day of the Seniors of Berk Highschool. Every student has received their diploma, a fulfilling moment for them, for they have worked very hard for it.

Hiccup and his friends are there too. Of course, they are part of the graduating batch. Each received a prestigious recognition which caused their heart to flutter.

Meanwhile, their parents are very proud of them. You can see them crying except Hiccup's father,Stoick who is booming and boasting about his son ,who is the valedictorian. He is carrying a puppy, who belonged to Hiccup, named Toothless. Also with him is Gobber, because he is already a part of their family. Someone which they can't afford to lose.

Anyway, Hiccup is the valedictorian and because of that he is going to deliver his speech of gratitude in front of everyone after the recognition of the graduates. Time passed by and Hiccup already went up to the stage. A little bit nervous but luckily, he delivered his speech with confidence and heartfelt emotions. Everyone paid attention to the said speech which in the end gain a standing ovation.

(Hiccup's speech goes like this:)

"To the administrators, teachers, guests, parents and fellow students, good afternoon.

Today, I am standing here in front of you as a graduating senior of Berk High, delivering his speech.

I am very happy to see myself and my fellow students in this occasion. I would like to congratulate all of us for that. For I know that everyone strived hard to get this honor of graduating Highschool. I, myself, witnessed all the hardwork that in the end, will be worth it. I know that after this, we will all take different paths to college to pursue our biggest dreams. And for that, good luck. But before I thank all the people who helped me attain where I am today, I would like to tell you something. Well, as a saying goes, you cannot reach your destination if you didn't know how to look back from where you started our came from.

The past few years of my life are the most memorable to me. Why? Because it contributes a great amount of who I am today. Anyway, few years ago, I have entered BHS as a freshman, a newbie, a nobody. I used to be a small and scrawny teenager who is looked by other people asa nuisance or a curse. They picked me up, bullied me, ignored me and belittled me. They even called me 'Hiccup the Useless' instead of my real name, Harper. But that never stopped me and it never brought me down. It became my inspiration and hope. Even though, sometimes,I wished to give up already. But, no!I never quitted for I wanted to prove everyone, including myself, that they're wrong. That went in everyday until the past year. A year that has changed my life a lot. I was given a chance to reconcile and befriending with my former bullies, and now they're my best buddies. Though they did something bad to me before, I decided to forgive them and give them a chance, for they've learned already their lesson, which is enough for me. They helped me showcase and let out the talent that I have. Because of that, many opportunities came, which changed my life, that I am very thankful for.

Moving forward,I would like to express my gratitude to the following: To my teachers, for teaching us not only what can be found in the books, but also live lessons we can bring in our daily lives.

To my classmates, who gave company for the past years.

To my friends, Fiske, Heather, Shaun, Riley and Tyler or together the Dragon Gang, Squad, whatever you like to call it. Thank you for helping me improve my life for the better, and also for giving me undying support and good time.

To Gobber, my mentor, thank you for being a second father to me especially when dad was busy in his work, for treating me like your own son and for raising me up. I owe you a lot.

To Astrid, my best friend, girlfriend, partner and confidante. Thank you for everything. For supporting me always, loving me and encouraging me when I'm down. I love you.

To my mom, Valka Horrendous Haddock, may God bless her soul, even though you left us early, Good knows how much I am thankful to have you in my life even if it's granted in a short time. I miss you.

To my dad, Stoick 'The Vast' Horrendous Haddock, Thank you dad, though you are always busy from your work, you never forget to give me your time and attention. Thank you for taking care of me, teaching me and loving me. You are always there for me through my ups and downs. You are my hero. I love you dad and all of this (gestures to his medals) are yours.

And lastly, to our Almighty God, thank you for everything. I am here today because of you.

Before my story ends, always remember that you are who you are, you are the one to make your own paths, as well as, decisions and never give up on the things you wanted to achieve. For no one can bring you down and remove everything you have from you. Be strong, brave and courageous to face challenges. They may be hard, but I assure you, they're worth fighting for. That's all and goodluck. Once again, congratulations all of us, the graduates of Berk High. May God bless you always. Let us soar high like an eagle!"

After the speech, they were proclaimed official graduates of Berk High. Everyone bid goodbye and goodluck to each other. Then the graduation song was sang and the program ended.

Everyone went home but Hiccup, his family, friends and all the others celebrated their success in The Mead Hall,everyone is happy and went they got there, they chowed,partied and chat whole night long. Things went great, I mean, greater especially when Hiccup called the attention of everybody and kneel in front of Astrid to propose.

"Astrid Hofferson, I would be the happiest guy in the world if you would agree to spend the rest of your life with me." he said as he smiled opening a black box revealing a gold ring with sapphire stones in it.

Astrid was so shocked of what happened. She is very happy and her tears streamed down to her face. She nodded and replied,"Yes Harper. I would love to."

Hiccup placed the ring on her finger and passionately kissed her in front of all the people which help them gain wolf whistles, cheers and claps.

"I love you Astrid, Milady."

"I love you too, babe."

Everyone is so thrilled about that news. They are now engaged but decided to get married after finishing college.

Few months later...

The gang went to the New Wilderwest Central Integrated University in Archia to attain their college degrees. They were very ecstatic and knew that a good future was in store for them.
