Chapter 2 - A Plan Goes into Action

Hiccup walked back through the village after his long and hard working day at the forge. He started to take in the scenes taking place in front of him. A little kid was running around with a terrible terror.

"Thunderstrike come back!" the little girl shouted to the little purple dragon running around frantically.

Hiccup chuckled to himself remembering that it was like the first couple of times he tried to fit a saddle onto toothless in the cove.

He let out a little sigh as he thought about how life used to be before toothless came along. I have a lot to thank you for bud. More than you know. It was true as well and Hiccup knew it because without toothless where would he be right know, probably still being the disappointment his father and the whole village not to mention being picked on by his peers and his own blood who saw him as nothing more than a toothpick that just got in the way all the time, but that was before he met toothless after that his life became infinitely better by his now friends stopped bullying, him he even got kissed by the girl he has loved since he first saw her, and if that wasn't enough she kissed him TWICE he could hardly believe it at the time he thought for sure that he was dead from the Red death, there was no way in Valhalla that Astrid Hofferson would be interested in him that way, HIM of all people, but nevertheless he was grateful for it... well he was a bit more than grateful he was ecstatic about it. Yeah i have a lot to thank you for bud, you made my life the best it has ever been and probably the best it will ever be i hope that's the way it'll always be.

"Ouch! Hey!" Hiccup shouted as he was brought out of his thoughts be Snotlout punching his arm. "What was that for!" he demanded

"Sorry cus but you weren't answering and i just wanted to do it anyway." the bulky viking replied to his smaller cousin.

"What is it that you want snot?" hiccup asked with the lacking enthusiasm in his voice evident.

"Well we, as in the twins and I..."

"Wow you know grammar snotty I'm proud of you." Hiccup said mocking his dimwitted cousin even though he knew what could happen.

"Aha very good fishbone now where was I. Ah yes the twins and I were wondering if you and your dragon would be up for a little race around the island? As I want to prove something to the both of them." Snotlout said with a little hint of confidence in his voice.

"Umm I don't know snot i was planning to continue my metal rod project for toothless' saddle but if you want we could do the race tomorrow after training."Hiccup said trying to compromise with his cousin who he was a little suspicious of at the moment as he didn't usually ask for a race that often, well near to never in fact, but he didn't want to disappoint everyone. Plus it might give him a chance to test out the new rod for the saddle.

"Awesome!" Snotlout shouted out in excitement "I'll see you then cousin just don't be late ok?"

"Snotlout we're in the same training group remember ill be there with you." Hiccup said holding back a laugh.

"Whatever. Just be ready to get your rear handed to you on a silver platter cus." Snotlout replied with a bit of annoyance and confidence.

"I'll make sure I am. See you tomorrow then." Hiccup said as he started walking to the forge to finish the rod for the saddle.

"Looking forward to it." Snotlout said while he winked at the twins who were hiding in a bush watching the whole thing. "I really am cousin" He said with a grin.
