At night, Flynn and Gobber were sleeping in their separate hammocks peacefully after getting Hiccup set up with his own place not far from them.
"Flynn?" Hiccup called out in a hushed tone. "Flynn...Flynn!" Which caused Flynn to wake up and fall off his hammock.
"Yeah? What? I didn't do it!" Flynn promised until he saw it was Hiccup and Toothless. "Oh, hey, kid. What's up?"
"I gotta go." Hiccup says as he looks like he's panicking.
"Go where?" Flynn asks.
"You know...go. Bad!" Hiccup tried his best to explain.
"Oh, go! Why didn't you say so?" Flynn understands what he means eventually and lead him across their bridge that separates the bedrooms from the rest of the jungle, including the bathrooms, which Hiccup has yet to learn where to find. "When you gotta go, you gotta go."
Over time, Hiccup's overhyped attitude returned and became a bit much for the duo as they're used to looking out for themselves and not a young boy and a baby Night Fury.
That said duo was currently high up in a tree when Gobber and Flynn found him.
"Young Viking! Get down from there." Flynn tried to say in a demanding tone, failing miserably.
Hiccup and Toothless were messing around and playing together high on a few of the branches at the top of the tree.
"Hey, you guys look like ants from up here!" Hiccup comments on the two of them.
"I'm counting to three!" Flynn warns him.
Hiccup doesn't seem to listen as Toothless lands on a unsteady branch when Hiccup joined him and the branch breaks, sending the two plummeting.
"Uh-oh." Gobber says in worry.
"One, two..." Flynn was counting when Grump landed down on him, cushioning the fall for the two, but not much for Flynn. "...three..."
Flynn was resting peacefully, also bandaged since after Grump fell on him he got a bit of a bruising but nothing life threatening, just a few small bruises.
"Flynn?" Hiccup calls out, waking him up again.
"Again?" Flynn asks in confusion.
"No, I'm thirsty." Hiccup explains and Flynn sighs and gets up before crossing the bridge with Hiccup and Toothless behind him.
"You know this means you'll be up again two hours from now." Flynn warns Hiccup as they cross the bridge.
Then there was when Hiccup was peacefully swimming in the water and was unknowingly heading for a waterfall.
Toothless tried to warn him, but being so young he can neither swim or fly.
Flynn luckily noticed and swam as fast as he could to save him.
"Hang on, Hiccup. I'll save you!" Flynn promises, but he was a second too late as Hiccup went off the waterfall but was rescued by Gobber hanging from a tree, but that left Flynn to fall and drop all the way down and screaming all the way.
Flynn luckily wasn't hurt this time, and was resting it off that night when he was once again awaken from Hiccup.
"Flynn?" Hiccup called out and Flynn wakes up with a sigh as he leads Hiccup and Toothless across the bridge.
"We're gonna get old walking across this thing." Flynn informed Hiccup.
The next day was Toothless' first time flying which ended with him accidentally falling onto a Monstrous Nightmare which was mad by his rude awakening and ended up setting mostly everything on fire.
"Flynn?" Hiccup woke him up again, causing Flynn to finally explode in anger as he faced Hiccup.
"What have you got against the concept of a good night's sleep?!" Flynn asks as Hiccup looks down in sadness.
"Actually, I...I had a bad dream." Hiccup tells him sheepishly, causing Flynn to feel sorry for exploding.
"Oh, well..." Flynn starts to rub his neck as he doesn't know what to say or do before he elbowed Gobber, causing him to wake up.
"It's not my sheep!" Gobber says, half asleep as he faced Flynn.
"Junior had a bad dream." Flynn tells Gobber who looks to Hiccup who scratches his arm nervously.
"Ohh...hey, why don't you sleep over here with us?" Gobber offers him.
"Really?" Hiccup asks, feeling better all ready.
"Yeah, come on, kid." Flynn encourages him as Hiccup lays down with Flynn as his hammock was big enough for two.
"Good night." Hiccup tells them.
"Sleep tight." Flynn says as Gobber passes out cold immediately.
Flynn and Hiccup chuckle at that as the young boy snuggles up against Flynn, feeling safe when he's around as Flynn smiles and sees he's doing things pretty well, considering he grew up without parents.
He pulls Hiccup in close and holds him as if to protect him as Toothless walks over to a flat rock before he starts using his fire to warm it up enough before he lays down to get comfortable and rests.
On his eighteenth birthday, Flynn presented Hiccup with a night black streamlined dragon scaled battle armor that he had 'borrowed' from one of his heists with Gobber.
It didn't fit either of them , but it fit Hiccup perfectly. As time went on, Hiccup trained himself to be able to fend off attackers who come to attack his new home and his friends.
The trio were all resting peacefully as Toothless was the first of them to wake followed by Hiccup who woke up and at stretched, ready to start the day as Flynn shuttered at the smell.
"Whoa. Watch where you aim your morning breath, kid." Flynn says as he begins to wake up. "That should come with a warning of some sort. Not what I'd call the best wakeup call."
"Looks like someone woke up on the wrong side of the hammock." Hiccup mocks as he gets up and began to put on his normal clothes/dragon armor. "What's the matter, pops? Had to much hakuna matata?"
"Sonny boy, I invented hakuna matata." Flynn states as he begins to go back to sleep.
"Is that so?" Hiccup asks with a smug smile. "Well, I perfected it."
"Sure you did." Flynn says, unimpressed. "Gobber, who holds the record for the world's longest belch?"
"That would be Hiccup." Gobber answers, still half asleep.
Flynn admits defeat there and moves on. "Okay, how about dragon fish swallowing?"
"Hiccup. Gobber answers.
Flynn then gets up and looks to Gobber. "Dragon taming?"
"Hiccup." Gobber answers.
"Grub gulping?"
"Hiccup."
"Track swimming?"
"Hiccup."
"Yak milk drinking?"
"Uh...nobody." Gobber answers as he gets up. "We never did that."
Flynn then looks to Hiccup with a smug smile as a challenge but Hiccup welcomed the challenge.
The two stood face ahead of each other with a barrel of bad Yak milk with them, ready to see who could survive the longest.
"I don't think this is such a good idea." Gobber states.
The duo don't listen as Hiccup goes first and drinks a whole mug full, doing his best not to spit it back out.
Flynn looks unimpressed and drinks the whole mug with no problem.
The duo go back and forth as Toothless and Gobber watch from the sidelines in concern on how this ends.
Finally, it ended with the two of them with one mug left.
Hiccup looks as if he's about to pass out and drinks it down as fast as he could and Flynn just drops to the ground in exhaustion, can't drink another.
"Thus did the pupil surpass the teacher." Gobber tells Toothless who looks unimpressed and rolls his eyes before going over to Hiccup and sees he has already made it to the bushes and trying to get it all out of his system.
"Okay, I'm good." Hiccup tells Toothless before they go flying to try and clear his head from that.
"They grow up so fast." Gobber tells Flynn who gives up and drops to the ground.
The rest of the day, Gobber and Hiccup were spending time in the hot springs with their dragons off to the side.
After some time, Flynn joined in after finally getting over the milk.
"Just what the doctor ordered." Flynn sighed.
"Yep, it's nice to relax and do nothing after a day of messing." Gobber says.
"Three pals and no worries." Hiccup agrees.
As they all sigh, Gobber decides to call it quits.
"I'm gonna go turn in." Gobber says and the second that he leaves, all the bubbles they thought came from the heat suddenly stopped.
The last two looked at the water and back to Gobber before calling it quits themselves.
"I'm out!" Flynn races out of the water.
"Right behind ya!" Hiccup says as he races out.
As time passed, Hiccup has grown into a twenty year old outcast, and was living the great life in the Oasis with his best buddies, and his pet dragon, he had long forgotten about his days as the Prince of Berk.
"Hakuna matata. Hakuna matata." Gobber and Flynn are singing softly as Hiccup comes flying down on Toothless before leaping off his dragon and sliding right past his friends.
"It means no worries!" Hiccup sings as he comes to a stop ahead of them. "For the test of your days!"
"It's our problem free philosophy! Hakuna matata!" The three sing together.
"Hakuna matata." Gobber And Flynn keep repeating as Hiccup continued to sing the rest.
"It means no worries for the rest of your days! It's our problem free philosophy. Hakuna matata!" Hiccup sings. "Come on, guys. One more time."
"Oh, no." Flynn says.
"I think we got this one." Gobber replies.
"But we're just getting into the groove, guys." Hiccup says.
"Nah, we're good." Flynn agrees.
"Yeah, you've grown three hundred pounds since we started." Gobber says.
"Meanwhile we look exactly the same." Flynn comments.
"It means no worries!" Hiccup keeps singing as Toothless flies to the river and begins to search for fish.
"Will you tell him to stop?" Gobber asks Flynn.
"You insisted we sing it." Flynn replies.
"You're the one who started singing." Gobber states.
"It means no worries!" Hiccup keeps going.
"Oh, now he's riffing." Flynn complains.
"Actually, I kinda like it." Gobber admits.
As Hiccup grew up with Flynn and Gobber, things back in Berk grew more and more horrid. The kingdom was deteriorating under Drago's rule after the death of the king and prince.
Nobody took this more worse than Valka, who had lost both her husband and son in one strike. She had grown into a very emotionless woman now. And Berk had been isolated now as neighboring kingdoms didn't want to trade with such a vile king anymore.
It being after curfew, Elsa, who was at home with her family, peaked out the window and can't believe how bad things have gotten since Hiccup and Stoick died. She still hasn't gotten over her best friend being killed at so young and wonders if he was still alive if things would've turned out differently.
"Elsa." Elsa's mother, Iduna called out as she turned to see her family sitting around the table with whatever food they could get. "Come. Sit with us."
"Those Berserkers are killing off the last of our food before we can get any more." Elsa's father, Agnarr, comments.
Elsa walked over and took a seat next to her sister, Anna.
"Why don't we do something?" Elsa asks. "Why don't we stand up to him?"
"Elsa, Drago is our king." Iduna reminds her.
"Then we should leave before it's too late." Elsa states.
"Where would we go?" Anna asks. She was about a year old when Drago took control and doesn't know anything other than this life of hiding in fear.
"This is our home. We can't abandon it." Iduna says calmly.
"This isn't the home I remember." Elsa whispers to herself as she thinks back to when she was a child and the freedom everyone had back then.
"Our time will come. We must be patient." Iduna says as they go on with the rest of their day.
That night, Elsa got a crazy idea to go and search for some form of help. Surely there's someone out there who's willing to help.
She dawned a hood to cover her head and a scarf to cover her mouth as she was on her way to get some gear when she saw her sister staring at her.
"Where do you think you're going?" Anna whispers to her sister.
"I'm going to find help." Elsa whispers back as she grabs a quiver of arrows and a bow. Over the years, she has been training herself to take back her home, but that's going to have to wait until afterwards.
"You really think there's anywhere out there to find help?" Anna asks. "You can't get far if Drago finds you left."
"That's why I'm not going on foot." Elsa says as she also found herself a dragon: it was an injured Snow Wraith, which she nursed to health and gained trust to and named Blizzard. "I promise you, I'll come back."
Anna hugs her sister as Elsa hugs back before she begins to sneak out into the night.
Sneaking through the kingdom was difficult with the Berserkers everywhere, but she found her way to a hidden cove where Blizzard is hidden away.
"Hey, girl. What do ya say we get some help?" Elsa asks as she boards her dragon and takes off into the sky to find help, somewhere, somehow.
Back in the Oasis, Hiccup, Flynn and Gobber were sitting by a bonfire, relaxing after a whole day of doing nothing.
Flynn had his banjo out and was strumming a few tunes whilst Hiccup and Gobber were having belching contests, much to the amusement of Toothless.
As they laughed around, they all decided to lay down and stare at sky.
Gobber abruptly stared up onto the sky and asked. "Flynn, guys ever wonder what those sparkly dots are up there?"
Hiccup watched as Flynn snorted. " Gobber, my bulky friend...I don't wonder. I know! They're Fireworms...that got stuck up there in that big bluish black...thing."
Gobber scratched his head as that's not what he thought. "Oh...I always thought theat they were bit balls of hot gas burning billions of miles away..."
Flynn chuckled and rolled his eyes. " Gobber, why is it always about gas with you?"
Gobber then looked at hiccup, who hadn't said anything so far. "Hiccup, what do ye think ?"
Slightly surprised, Hiccup looked at both of his friends looking eagerly at him for his opinion and sighed. "Well...It's kinda crazy, but somebody once told me that.. the great kings of the past are up there...watching over us."
Gobber actually seemed intrigued. "Wow...really?"
Flynn, however seemed skeptical as he stared up at the sky. "Ya mean a bunch of royal dead guys are watching us?"
Hiccup then looked at Gobber and Flynn as the both of them burst out laughing.
"Who told you something like that?" Flynn asks as he tries to calm down.
"Yeah... pretty dumb, huh...?" Hiccup awkwardly chuckled with them for a second before his face fell. He remembered his father again than realized that his eyes had begun to tear up and he got up. "Excuse me for a second, guys."
Before they could say anything more, Hiccup got onto Toothless and flew off into the starry night. Flynn looked at Gobber with a confused and apologetic look.
"Wa-was it something that I said?" Flynn asks Gobber who shrugs.
Hiccup flew higher and faster until he got down, reaching the highlands, which was his place of solitude whenever he felt tense.
It was located just above the crashing waves of the emerald sea below on which the full moon shone on at the moment. He slid off his dragon's back and walked over to the edge of the cliff as the dragon cooed reproachfully.
Hiccup let out a big sigh as he wiped away his tears. He pulled out the locket he wore around his neck. It was a tiny bronze carving of a sword and shield; the Berk crest. It was the last present his father had given him. He looked up into the starry sky and sighed.
Hiccup plucked it off his neck and hurled it as far away as he could into the ocean. He then dropped to his knees and watched it float away rapidly as he let the tears flow down.
Toothless cooed and nudged Hiccup in concern, trying his best to comfort his rider as he kept on crying silently as he remembered his father.
A few hours later, the locket that he had flung got washed up on the sandy shores on the outskirts of Berk.
Grandpabbie, who had been scavenging the area for mushrooms and other things, picked it up and sniffed at it. He didn't recognize it as he hadn't known it belonged to Stoick.
Grandpabbie looked at it curiously and then rolled on back home and past all of the other trolls and into his cave where he usually stayed.
He then hobbled over to an Armageddon turtle's shell that was lying on a wooden table. He picked it up and dropped the locket into it. Smashing the locket into dust with a rock and poured some liquid potion he had concocted over it.
Grandpabbie then broke open a papaya fruit over it and bit into it as he stared at the broken shards of the locket.
Then, his eyebrows scrunched up, as if he didn't believe what his spell was saying as he grasped at the shell and took a closer look at the locket and his eyes widen in amazement as he finally realized who it belonged to.
"Hiccup..." Grandpabbie whispers in shock and amazement as he looked to the tapestry of the child he scrubbed out. "He-HE'S ALIVE! OHAHA!"
His face lit up in happiness as he rolled over and grabbed his staff. As he then made it to the tapestry and dipped his fingers in the thick black liquid, which was kept in a bowl made of sea shell, on the table next to it. He laughed heartily and joyously as he drew over the tapestry again, but this time, drawing Hiccup as a man.
He took a few steps back and admired his art. And then grinned widely and said to drawing as if it could hear him. "It is time!"
