I do not any of HTTYD or MLP (My Little Pony)
'The Whisperer of Death' had asked if I was a fan of this fandom too, (and I am) and recommended I rewrite some MLP songs. This is the first of a few I have planned to add to this little series of mine.
This song isn't one from MLP that u recommended specifically, (I thought of this one myself) but I hope u and every other reader of this that is a fan of both these fandoms likes it.
"I just want to be one of you guys," Hiccup said over his shoulder, to Gobber, as he entered his house through the front door. Hiccup closed the door behind him, leaving his mentor on the front step, slightly baffled and feeling sorry for his best friend's son.
Gobber walked away from the house, heading back to help clean up the damage to the village from the dragon raid and from Hiccup's mishap; as usual. But what Gobber didn't notice was Hiccup sneaking out the back door of his house and heading into the forest.
Just about everyone in the village was watching when his father, the chief, was bragging him away by the back of his tunic after his mistake let serval dragons escape with a good number of their livestock. He knew they heard him say he shot down a Night Fury, but as usual, no one listened.
So he would go out and find it himself. He would find that dragon and prove once and for all that he was one of them. That he was a Viking.
But he didn't feel like a Viking.
Although he thought that if he did this, if he found that dragon and brought back its head or something, his people would not look at him like he was a nuisance and utterly useless in everything. As he walked along the edge of the village that lead into the woods, Hiccup had to think; 'it this who I am?'
Gobber had told him when he last saw him that he should stop trying to be something that he isn't.
But what else was he supposed to do? What else was there?
Stopping to think more about this, Hiccup stood by a tree at the edge of the forest, making sure not to be seen. The misunderstood heir looked out at the village he had grown up in, watching the other Vikings; true Vikings, work and interact with each other.
Hiccup:
If I'm a Viking, then why is my life so rough?
I'm the son of the chief, even that's not enough.
I'm so different to them with every move that I make.
I thought that Vikings were tough, though I feel I could break.
(Hiccup shifted his stance to fully lean his back up against the tree he was hiding by.)
Would you believe, that I've always wished I could be somebody else?
Yet I can't see, what I need to do to be the Viking I wanna be.
(Hiccup clutched one of his hands into a fist while his other grabbed at the bark of the tree behind him, his eyed closed in frustration.)
I've been told my whole life what to do, what to be.
Everyone said there was no other way for me.
(Hiccup opened his eyes and looked to the sky, brushing a hand through his auburn hair.)
And now I feel like I'm lost, I don't know what to do,
The ground is sinking away, I'm about to fall through.
Would you believe, that I've always wished I could be somebody else?
Yet I can't see, what I need to do to be the Viking I wanna be.
(Hiccup turned over, leaning just his right shoulder onto the tree, looking back at the village meaningfully but quickly one more time. Hiccup turned around towards the forest, one hand still resting on the tree. He looked over his shoulder again.)
To be the Viking I wanna be.
After that last look at the village, hoping that the next time he saw it he would be full of pride, Hiccup turned back to the woods and began his search for the dragon he shot down.
The dragon that was going to change his life.
Hiccup had been right about two things; that he wasn't meant to be exactly like all the other Vikings, and that that dragon he shot down was going to change his life.
And now, looking around at his village, seeing Vikings and dragons together on the streets, not fighting or trying to kill each other, he realized that it didn't just change his life, it was changing his entire world around him.
His friends had done a great job of integrating the dragons into Berk while he was in a coma, but now that he was awake, everyone eagerly awaited for the input of the young man who started it all.
And Hiccup couldn't wait to get started.
Looking at all the villagers around him, the people who once looked at him with distain, now looked at him with respect and sincerity, Hiccup finally felt like one of them.
Hiccup walked forward, still getting used to his new metal leg but he was fine enough to walk for the time being, with a big smile on his face.
Hiccup:
We'll build a new life for every Viking and dragon here,
So full of peace and love, without hate or fear.
I want to help and do everything that I can,
I'm here to show you a change. Listen up, here's the plan.
(Hiccup, with Toothless beside him, lead everyone through the village, stopping a lot of Vikings with dragons, showing them things he had learned from the Night Fury while with him in the cove. Telling and showing them tricks on how to get them to trust you or how to calm them, what they like, what they hate, what you should and shouldn't do around them. And they not only heard him, they all listened.
Hiccup walked around the village, watching everyone interact with their new dragon companions, mimicking everything he had just showed them.
Hiccup could now say that he looked at his village, filled with more pride then he could have ever imaged.)
There's so much I can do to help everyone else,
I see the light that shines in me, I know I can now be myself.
I can free the past, 'cause now the future's bright for me,
(Hiccup patted Toothless' head happily. Then, out of nowhere, in swoops all the other Vikings his own age flying above him on the backs of the dragons they flew into battle with him on. Smiling down to him, giving encouraging gestures for him to come up and join them.
Hiccup mounted Toothless, the dragon giving him a proud smile.)
The dragons have set me free, to reach up high,
And be the Viking I wanna be!
(Hiccup opened Toothless' tail fin, allowing them to take to the sky, joining the younger Vikings on their new dragons. Hiccup looked from left to right as he flew over the village, those same younger Vikings who used to pick on him, all there by his sides, giving him friendly smiles.)
And be the Viking I wanna be!
And 'Whisperer of Death;' u did recommend 'This Day Aria' from MLP, so I wanted to let u know I am working on that one and will post it when I can.
'Unleash the Magic;' I don't think I can work with. And 'Bats!;' I'm playing with, but am not entirely sure if I can parodize it justice.
