Chapter 16

So this is a bit of a fun chapter that doesn't really relate to the actual story but I still think you will enjoy it. (Disclaimer at the bottom)

Toothless and the former dragon gang got bored one day so they decided to try out a little prank on their former humans. Toothless asks everyone, "Alright, we clear on the plan?"

Belch replies. "Yep, we get our riders to take some dragon nip and see what happens."

Barf chuckles. "This is gonna be so awesome."

Everyone nods except for Meatlug. She asks with a somewhat worried tone, "Should we really be doing this? I mean, I don't want these guys getting hurt."

Hookfang raises a brow to this. "You know it's just dragon nip right? The very same stuff Hiccup used on you to trick his friends to think he was good at taking down dragons. It doesn't actually hurt it just makes us see things and makes us really happy for a few minutes."

Meatlug's eyes widen. "Oh, right. But still, it just seems wrong to trick our friends like this."

Stormfly pats the fat blonde on the shoulder. "Don't worry. I'm sure Fishlegs and the rest will find this funny once we tell them about it."

Meatlug wanted to say something further, but Toothless steps in and says, "Besides, I wouldn't be ok with doing this if I thought it was going to hurt them."

This did settle Meatlug's mind a little. She sighs, nods and says, "You're right, this will be fine."

Toothless smiles. "That's just what I wanted to hear. Ok, here's the nip." He hands everyone a bit of dragon nip then says, "Ok, remember, they can't know what we are doing until after the effects wear off so figure out something. Now, let's do this." With that, they all head off to their respective homes.

(Hiccup)

Toothless enters Hiccup's house with the dragon nip in his back pocket. He calls for Hiccup and was relieved that neither him nor his dad was home, giving Toothless a perfect chance to come up with a plan of attack.

He looks around the living room and kitchen for anything he could use to hide the nip until he opens the fridge and sees a few gutted fish, Stoick seems to prefer his fish this way while Hiccup doesn't mind a few guts. Perfect.

He stuffs the nip into the fish and places it in a bowl under a bunch of fish before hearing someone walk up the steps to the front door. He puts the bowl on the table and sits down with his hands together trying to look as innocent as possible.

Hiccup then enters the house and sees Toothless sitting at the table with the bowl of fish in front of him. He says to the black haired human, "Hey, babe. What's going on?"

Toothless simply smiles. "Nothing, it's just that I thought I'd make you some dinner. You know, to help my mate not go hungry."

Hiccup's ears perk up. "You had me at dinner." He lies down on the floor and has Toothless place the bowl in front of him. Hiccup licks his lips at the fish and was about to dive right in when suddenly his dragon nose picks up a scent. Not that of fish, but something more…herbal and grassy and… in that moment, his mind starts to go blank and his pupils go wider than normal.

He looks up to Toothless and sees one eye getting bigger while the other gets smaller and once Toothless blinks, the reverse happens. He asks in a loopy tone, "Tooth. Less. This isn't just fish is it?"

Toothless shakes his head. "Nope."

Hiccup then looks down at his paws and sees them getting smaller and smaller until they were the size of toothpicks. He thinks he has a piece of food stuck in his teeth, so he moves his toothpick paw up to try to get it, not realizing two things. One, his teeth were currently retracted and two, his paws were the same size. Toothless couldn't help but laugh at the display.

For the finale, Hiccup rolls onto his back and thinks that he sees a butterfly flying up to his nose, so he tries getting it using his paws. He swings his paws three times before leaning his head all the way back and passing out with ecstasy.

Toothless croons. "Aw, he's all tuckered out. Does make me wonder how the others handled it."

(Astrid)

Stromfly walks into her house and sees that Astrid isn't home, so she decides to trick her by making her some tea using the nip. She crushes up the nip a little and puts it into the teabag where she steeps it into the hot water, giving it a greenish color.

Right as the dragon nip tea was finished, Astrid walks in having just met up with her secret partner, Dagur. "Hey Astrid, good to see you're home. I made you some tea if you want it." Stormfly says, placing the cups on the living room table.

Astrid walks up to the tea and says, "Oh, thanks Stormfly. Tea sounds good actually." She sits down with her legs crossed under her and has Stormfly bring the cup to her face so she can take a sip. But as soon as the green liquid entered her mouth, she noticed an odd taste. "Hmm, is that a new tea? I don't believe I've had it before."

Stormfly puts the cup down and says, "Oh yeah, it's just this new brand I bought that looked good."

Astrid moves her tongue around her mouth, trying to identify the taste. "Well, what is iiiiiiiitttt?" As she was trying to finish her thoughts, the dragon nip had started to take effect and cause her to lie down on her side. Stormfly puts the tea on the windowsill and sits down to watch it all take place.

Astrid doesn't really see anything unusual, the nip pretty much just caused her to feel uncontrollably happy. Although one noticeable effect the nip was having was she seemed to be laughing at literally nothing every couple of minutes.

Stormfly couldn't help but laugh herself. "What's so funny?"

Astrid tries calming herself enough to explain. "Oh, oh, just…" and then the laughing starts back up. She would laugh anywhere from 30 seconds to three straight minutes at the most.

In the midst of all this laughing, an orange beaked bird stops by and takes a sip of the dragon nip tea. The bird then falls out of the window and lands on the grass, unable to stop chirping and squawking. (Hi Puffin)*

(Snotlout)

Hookfang opens the door to his and Snotlout's house and sees the Monstrous Nightmare in his usual spot on his bed. It was interesting, somehow being turned into a dragon has made Snotlout even lazier than normal. He would constantly lie around the house and would only really get up for food or to use the bathroom.

Hookfang walks up to Snotlout and kicks him awake. Snotlout initially snapped at Hookfang for waking him, making his neck flame up, but as soon as he saw who it was, he calmed down. He asks, "What do you want, Hookfang? Can't you see that I'm taking my afternoon nap here?"

Hookfang chuckles. "Oh, I'm sure your afternoon nap is just as important as your morning nap, and your midday nap, however there is something I'd like you to do." He holds up the dragon nip. "I dare you to take a big sniff of this."

Snotlout raises a brow, forgetting that dragons don't have brows. "Wait, isn't that dragon nip?"

Hookfang shakes his head. "No, no, it's…just some random grass that I found."

Snotlout looks to him suspiciously but shrugs and says, "Alright." He leans in and takes a big sniff before moving his head back. "There you hap-" His head collapses on the floor.

Hookfang thinks out loud, "Idiot."

Snotlout then sees Hookfang growing wings and sprouting a second head. He asks, "Hey, when did you become a Zippleback?"

Hookfang chuckles and decides to play along. "Uh, I've always been like this. You've just never noticed my other head."

This got a huge smile from Snotlout as his eyes roll into the back of his head and he passes out. Hookfang smirks, "Huh, went out sooner than I expected. Guess the kid can't handle his nip. Does spoil the fun a little bit, oh well."

(Fishlegs)

Meatlug, being the most nervous about doing this, had to scramble to think of a way to get Fishlegs to sniff the dragon nip without knowing. She enters her house and sees Fishlegs, once again, chowing down on a heap of rocks.

It seemed that becoming a Gronckle had increased Fishlegs's appetite over time to the point where he can eat all day and still feel hungry. He hears someone walk in and looks to the door and looks to see Meatlug standing there. He says with his mouth still full, "Uh, hey Meatmug."

She nervously walks towards him. "Uh, hey Fishlegs. Uh, you know it is rude to talk with your mouth full."

Fishlegs nods and swallows his current mouthful. "Sorry, it's just that I never realized how so many rocks tasted so good. Graphite, diorite, river stone, oh and of course limestone, oh I could eat limestone every day. One second though." He goes to a metal tub where he spews some of the lava he made. He wipes his mouth before asking. "Anyway, what's up?"

Meatlug nervously chuckles. "Yeah, I thought that for years. Anyway, uh, nothing's up, I just got back from hanging out with the gang."

Fishlegs nods before going right back to the rock pile, which gave Meatlug the perfect idea. She grabs a green geode that she found in the pile and stuffs the dragon nip into it before holding it for Fishlegs. "Here, why don't you try this one?"

Fishlegs looks at the geode and says, "Oh, I actually haven't tried geode yet, so this could be exciting." He opens his mouth wide and eats the geode. He makes a slightly confused face. "Huh, that tastes…grassier than I thought."

Fishlegs's eyes widen as the nip takes effect. He sees Meatlug inflate like a balloon before deflating and becoming skinnier. He blinks and sees her shrink to half her size then grow to double her size in the blink of an eye.

He tries to speak. "Meat…lug…what…what's happening…to me?"

Meatlug puts her hands in front of her face. "Sorry Fishlegs, I didn't even want to do this."

Fishlegs puts a paw on her shoulder. "No…no…I feel…I feel great! I…I've never felt so…happy. Tha…thank you."

Meatlug moves her hands away. "Y-you're ok with this?" Fishlegs nods before his legs give out and he collapses. Meatlug had to jump back so she wouldn't be crushed.

Suddenly, hearing that Fishlegs was happy made all the worry she had melt away. She hugs him. "Oh, Fishlegs it's so good to hear you say that. And…I promise I'll be right here for you, until the nip wears off." With that, she pulls up a chair and watches Fishlegs drift off into slumber.

(The twins)

Barf and Belch simply walk up to Ruffnut & Tuffnut and hold out the dragon nip where Barf asks, "Hey guys, wanna try some dragon nip?"

Tuffnut's ears perk up. "Dragon nip? Hell yeah!"

Ruffnut adds, "We've been wanting to try dragon nip since we transformed but haven't had the chance what with all of Hiccup's lessons and whatnot."

They both lean their long necks in and smell the dragon nip. Just then, both of their minds turn to ecstasy as the nip does it's job. Barf and Belch pull up chairs to watch the show.

Ruffnut sees a fairy fly up to her while Tuffnut sees a chicken. The fairy and the chicken move, so they move, making them wrap their necks around each other until their heads bump into each other. They try unwrapping themselves by moving their heads in the opposite direction, only to end up wrapping them up all over again and bumping heads. Barf and Belch were laughing their asses off at the display.

Tuffnut says in a loopy voice, "Hey, man, I'm just trying to catch a chicken. Can't you just, you know, cluck off?"

Ruffnut replies, "Bruh, you're over there clucking your chickens while I've got to get to this fairy."

Belch decides to play with them a little. "Hey guys, you might be able to get them if you use your tongues."

"Oh yeah!" They both say as if it was the most brilliant idea ever. They stick out their tongues and extend them as long as they'll go, finding that the fairy/chicken was just out of reach, enticing more laughter from Barf and Belch

"Darn it." Ruffnut says with total disappointment in her voice.

Barf finally calms down from laughing to say, "Aw, I think they just got away. Unless they went off to the side."

Ruff and Tuff's eyes widen as they unwrap their necks and extend them to their side to check, only for their heads to bounce back, bump into each other again but with greater force, and cause them to get knocked out.

Barf and Belch stare at them to make sure they're ok. After a minute of no movement, Barf asks Belch, "Do you think they're ok?"

Belch flicks his hand. "Nah, they've taken harder hits to the head when they were human, I'm sure they'll wake up soon. Besides, they are still breathing." Another minute passes without movement. "We'll check on them in about five more minutes."

So, that was that chapter. I hope you all enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Disclaimer: This chapter involved the use of drugs. I do not use nor endorse the use of drugs but I do understand that there are those who do and that's fine, just as long as you use them responsibly, even if you are a dragon.
