A/N: Apologies in advance for this plotless and completely irreverent bit of fluff. Thanks, Yondaime Namikaze, for the suggestion, and forgive me: this is probably not what you had in mind, but it is nevertheless dedicated to you.

From Riders of Berk, Episode 5: In Dragons We Trust

Idea no. 1: Keep all of your friends up way past their normal bedtimes.

"We're going on night patrol."

Idea no. 2: Get Tuffnut wound up about being up past his bedtime.

"Night patrol? I love it! What is it?"

Idea no. 3: Invite the dragons.

"It's where we patrol...at night...to keep an eye on the dragons, and make sure they don't get blamed for anything else."

Idea no. 4: Don't tell the grown-ups. Especially the Ingermans.

"Um, have you cleared this with our parents? Because some of us might not be allowed out after a certain hour."

Idea no. 5: Get Snotlout to tell a few ghost stories.

"Not allowed? Or afraid?"

Idea no. 6: Turn out the lights.

"Hey, things happen after dark."

Idea no. 7: Positive peer pressure. If you need to, use it.

"Guys, we have to do this. You heard Mildew: he wants the dragons banished."

Idea no. 8: Bring the water guns. Have Ruffnut ask about water balloons, if you can.

"Permission to shoot first and ask questions later."

Idea no. 9: Okay, just bring the balloons. The more, the merrier.

"Permission to skip the question."

Idea no. 10: Water guns are out. Definitely bring the balloons.

"We're just patrolling. Nobody is shooting anyone."

Idea no. 11: Don't tell Tuffnut everything you're planning ahead of time. He's a bit of a wet blanket.

"I have a question: what's fun about that?"

Idea no. 12: Make sure everybody knows this isn't Astrid's party.

"It's not supposed to be fun. It's a Hiccup idea."

Idea no. 13: Do it again next year.

"Exactly! What?"

It was the best sleepover/water war they'd ever had. Even the dragons had a good time.

A/N: It is with a heavy heart that I must announce that this is the final chapter of this series, Random Words of Wisdom. Thanks are due to everyone who read, reviewed, favorited, or followed, but especially to biancaruth and Yondaime Namikaze for their frequent kind words and much support.

Keep your eyes open for my upcoming story Hidden, a multi-chapter work set two years after the end of How to Train Your Dragon 2. You can see my profile page for a full summary. It should be finished in a few short weeks, at which time I will begin publishing it.

Until then, I remain very sincerely yours,

Constantinus
