"Build a fishing boat?!" Tuffnut shouted for what seemed like the hundredth time.

"Yes Tuffnut!" I shouted back "You and Ruffnut are going to rebuild a new fishing boat since it's your fault that we lost the first one. Now please drop the subject!"

"But neither of us know how to build a boat."

I let out a groan. Ever since I had suggested their punishment, Tuffnut has not stopped complaining. Ruffnut finally stopped her complaints after she found that no matter what, nothing was going to change and went up to the Great Hall for lunch. Tuffnut decided to stay and continue to complain (along with continue to get on my nerves).

"Listen Tuffnut, building a fishing boat is not that hard." I said, trying to reason with him.

Tuffnut just rolled his eyes and crossed his arms. "Says the builder."

I glared at him. Even if I wasn't a builder, I probably could still build a fishing boat."

That didn't do anything for him. I let out a sigh and pinched the gap that was between my eyebrows. "Alright Tuffnut, how about this? I make you and your sister some plans and sketches on how to build a fishing boat. How does that sound?" I asked and he started to think about that idea.

"But neither of us know how to read."

"Then I'll come with you and help you build the stupid boat!" I shouted, almost yelling at the top of my lungs. Tuffnut took a few steps back from me. I honestly don't know what made me suddenly blurt that out without thinking, or why I shouted as loud as I did. Maybe I was just getting tired of all this. But I knew I couldn't take it back now. Especially now that I started to feel the guilt of shouting at him like that, even though I know it didn't have any effect on him. He's been yelled at by Stoick and he's much louder than I am.

"Really?" Tuffnut asked.

I didn't reply. I rubbed the back of my neck and started biting the tip of my tongue.

"The chief never said anyone couldn't help us."

"I know…" I muttered.

"So, are you serious about your offer to help build the boat?"

I let out a sigh and put my hand on my forehead, took it off, then put it back on. "I-I…sure. I guess." I muttered.

Tuffnut just smirked. "And I thought you said you weren't going to come to my rescue anymore. Looks like I'm starting to grow on you. Right, Enya?"

I rolled my eyes "Shut it."

I sat down on the on the stone slabs that lead up to the entrance of my house and sat my notebook down on my right knee. A couple of days have passed since the incident with the twins and I decided I should get started on making the plans for the new boat. I decided that this would be a good time to start on the plans since Hiccup was out flying with the other dragons and the twins were in the forest looking for wood so I thought there wouldn't be anyone around to distract me, plus I didn't have anything better to do. Even though I know neither of the twins know how to read, I was planning to tell my dad that I was going to go down to the docks to give the twins the directions to build the boat so he wouldn't suspect that I was helping them.

I pulled my charcoal pencil out from the leather straps I had in my hair to keep my ponytail up and tapped it on the side of my leg. I was about to start sketching out what the twins had to do when I heard a loud crash coming from the plaza. My head shot up almost immediately. I looked down and saw Barf and Belch surrounded by turned over barrels and broken boards from the barrels they stepped on. I shook my head. Those two are almost as destructive as the twins.

"They're probably just bored." I thought and went back to my notebook. Usually by this time, all of the dragons are either with Hiccup at the academy, working with some of the adults, or (if they don't have a rider) flying around the island looking for food. Usually if Barf and Belch aren't at the academy, they're with the twins. But since the twins are "grounded" from riding their dragon, their dragon has to stay in the village.

I was about to go back to working on my plans when I heard another crash coming from the Zippleback's direction. I looked up again and saw they knocked over another barrel, this one filled with fish. They started eating what they found and would occasionally snap at each other, thinking their other was trying to steal the fish they chose to eat.

I let out a sigh, set my notebook and pencil down, and started walking down to the plaza towards them. When I reached them, it took them a while to notice me but when they looked up from their mid-morning snack, both of them let out a burp, followed by a grin, and went back to their snack.

"Hello to you too." I smiled at the two heads. "Want me to make that easier for you too?" Both of the heads looked up and gave me a curious look. I bent down to pick up two fish that were closest to me. Barf and Belch hunched over to take the fish from my hands and I bent down to pick up two more fish. When they ate those, I smiled at the two-headed dragon and started scratching both of them under their chins.

"You guys are just bored, aren't you?" I asked and they let out a light warble in response. "I know how you're feeling." Then, for some strange reason, I got a strange idea in my head. I looked up at the Great Hall for a sign that my dad. When I didn't see him anywhere, I looked up at the sky to see if Hiccup was flying anywhere with the other dragons. I took in a deep breath and let it out. I called Belch's name. I took a guess that he was the one closest to me and turned out I was right. Belch hunched over and I climbed onto the saddle that was on his neck. It felt a little strange sitting on a Zippleback since, unlike riding on Toothless or Meatlug, their neck was thin, almost like an over-grown serpent. It made me a little nervous since, if I accidently fell off, there wouldn't be much to catch me.

"O-Ok guys. Um…u-up!" I stuttered out. Neither of them responded. "Um…Barf, Belch, sky!" Still nothing happened. I started biting the tip of my tongue, trying to remember what either Hiccup or the twins do to make Barf and Belch fly. Don't ask me why I wanted to fly so badly, I really can't say why I wanted to myself. All I knew at that moment was I just wanted to start flying before I started over-thinking my idea.

Then a new thought popped into my head. A Zippleback needed two riders. If it didn't have two, it either wouldn't get off the ground at all or, if it did manage to get off the ground then it would lean slightly to one side, making flying a little difficult. I let out an annoyed sigh and let my arms drop to my sides.

"Well, I guess I'm meant to stay on the ground." I muttered and jumped down from the saddle. I patted Belch on the side of his neck. He seemed to get the idea that I was a little upset and gave me a curious look.

"Don't worry Belch." I said, patting him on his neck again. "Some Vikings aren't meant to be up in the sky. I guess I'm one of those Vikings."

Both of the heads turned to look at each other, almost like they were talking through their thoughts. I started walking back towards my house when I felt one of the heads bump against my back. I turned back around and looked up at the two heads. Both of them turned their heads to look at their back then turned back to look at me. I raised one of my eyebrows and they did it again. I glanced at the ground a few times, trying to figure out what they were trying to tell me. Then it hit me.

"I'm such an idiot!" I laughed at myself. I ran towards Barf and Belch's back. I climbed onto their back and sat down in the middle of the spot where their heads separated.

"Ok," I sighed. "I'm about to fly on a dragon…by myself." I drummed my fingers on the side on my leg, trying to figure out what I wanted to do now. Before, I was so sure of myself. I knew I wanted to be up in the sky, flying and seeing Berk like how Hiccup and the others see it almost every day. I could see it like they do if I didn't shut my eyes the second I leave the ground. I told myself I couldn't do that this time, otherwise I would crash into every single thing that came my way.

I took in a deep breath and let it out. I knew couldn't just sit here forever. Ruffnut and Tuffnut could be back any minute and it felt like Barf and Belch were getting a little jumpy. I closed my eyes, but my bottom lip, and started mentally preparing myself to take flight.

"Ok…ok." I thought to myself. "I'm about to fly…on a Zippleback…that isn't even mine…ok." I opened my eyes and tried to bring myself to say what I knew I had to say to get off the ground. Three simple words.

I took in a deep breath, nodded my head, and said a silent prayer. "B-Barf…B-B-Belch…sky."
