- The Great Hall, New Berk.

"*Fishlegs! Fishlegs! Fishlegs! Fishlegs! Fishlegs! Fishlegs! Fishlegs! Fishlegs! Fishlegs!*"

Vikings and dragons cheered as Hiccup, Astrid, the twin and Snotlout held Fishlegs up above their heads, and walked toward the GIANT CRAB CAKE. Fishlegs blew out the candles after his friends gently let him down on his feet.

"*YAY!*", "*Happy Birthday FISHLEGS!*".

Fishlegs hugged his parents, and his dragon family. Luna watched curiously with Toothless as Gobber and Eret cut the cake, and began serving to others while the dragons had their fishes served. Fishlegs joined his friend's at the table, while the gifts were hidden behind a thick veil.

"We're happy for you, and before we eat, we want to-"

"I think he wants to hear more from the givers, Hiccy." Tuffnut interrupted, "So without further ado." Tuffnut, and Snotlout unveiled their handmade fireproof stroller.

"We've made you this!" Snotlout added.

"And this too!" Hiccup held up a Gronckle stuffed toy, "Astrid's idea, I stitched.".

Fishmeat jumped in joy, and whisked away the toy, cuddling it in his new stroller.

"Thank you, guys." Fishlegs hugged his friends, then turned to Ruffnut, "Ruff, I-".

"I made you this." Ruffnut interrupted, and pulled out a leather vest full of mechanics, and orbs at the back, "You fell on your back a lot, so I think-".

Fish threw his arms around Ruffnut before she could finish. Hiccup and Astrid smiled as they watched Ruffnut gently return the hug. Snotlout was an ideal viking, he could easily wing along with her, but Fishlegs… he was often the target for pranks by everyone but also brought the good out of everyone. He will always be there for people he loves, and also the best shoulder to cry on when the world hates you. How could you not love him?

"Ok, the show is over! Go back to eating!" Tuffnut send them all back to their cakes.

"Congrats, you two." Snotlout chuckled.

"Can we move in like them?" Ruffnut asked, and gestured to Astrid, and Hiccup.

"You… might wanna talk to the parents first." Gobber turned the lovebirds' head toward the adult's table.

Fishlegs gulped nervously, Tuffnut chuckled, and gave him a gentle push.

"Come." Astrid took both Ruffnut, and Fishlegs's hand, then turned to her fiancé.

"Let's go, Tuffy." Hiccup pulled Tuffnut out of the hall, "A walk would be fun.".

- The Forest, New Berk.

Toothless followed his rider with Barf and Belch. Tuffnut refused to speak a word after his sister announced her desire to move in with Fishlegs.

"Will you be ok?" Hiccup finally asked, "It would never be the same again after Ruff moves in with Fishlegs.".

Tuffnut groaned, "Trust me, Hiccy, I'm ok with not being with her 24/7.".

Tuffnut's smiley face remained frozen as he turned to the double headed dragon. Hiccup and Toothless blinked, but kept their eyes on the blonde man.

"And that's a lie, isn't it?" Hiccup's tone was calm.

"What are you talking about? Hiccy." Tuffnut laughed.

"I was there too, you know?" Hiccup said finally, "When dad was there to settle the domestic dispute."

It was one of the very rare raids that Hiccup did what his father asked… stayed at home. The little boy watched Vikings extinguishing the fires from his bedroom's window, and then rushed to his father after the big man entered the door.

"Don't forget to fix the roof too!" His father told Gobber as they were leaving.

Hiccup remembered sneakily watching the event in the dining room from the living room that his father told him to wait inside. He remembered his father's lesson about love, and loss caused by death, but nothing terrified him more than what's happening before him…

How could you hurt someone you love? Someone you vowed to the god to care for forever. How could anyone run out of love for their own children? Their own family… If that could happen to the twin, would his father one day run out of love for him too?

Hiccup watched the daughter release her rage and tears as Stoick made the parents sign the paper that would end everything, everyone would still be a Thorston, but no longer a family. The blonde man left the door the moment everything was over as Ruffnut barely managed to stop crying, but somehow, her twin brother had a smile on his face as he held his mother and sister's hands…

"You're making the same face you made 10 years ago." Hiccup finished.

As a child, Hiccup understood nothing of his father's decision to divorce the couple, but now as an adult… It was for the best. No one deserves to be abused in their own home, it's the chief duty to protect the people whether from the outside dangers, or even themselves.

Tuffnut's face softened, "Don't make a big deal out of everything, Hiccup. Everyone has a life, and so do I. Everything is a memory, and this will be just another big chunk of many." The sick toothy smile finally returned to his face, "Let's go back! Toothless probably already misses his girlfriend.".

Toothless rolled his eyes.

- The Great Hall, New Berk.

"It went better than I thought." Astrid told Hiccup as they watched Mrs. Thorston, and Fishlegs's parent, were enjoying each other's company at their table.

Toothless walked to Luna as she watched the party from the corner. Fishlegs and Ruffnut walked to the couple.

"She'll move in tomorrow." Fishlegs smiled as he refused to let go of Ruffnut's hand, "Thank you, guys."

Hiccup and Astrid nodded. Then Snotlout approached the chubby man with a serious face.

"We need to talk."

Hiccup, Astrid, and Ruffnut watched in worry as Snotlout, and Fishlegs had a private conversation in a corner. Tuffnut continued drinking his mead at the table.

Fishlegs were scared obviously, but so was… Snotlout? The conversation was mostly run by him, and he got more nervous every second his mouth moved. Fishlegs patted Snotlout's shoulder with a smile, and then hugged his old-rival.

"I think we better let it be between them." Ruffnut joined her brother at the table, "If they want us to know, they'll let us know.".

Astrid, and Hiccup reluctantly followed Ruffnut's advice. Fishlegs and Snotlout returned to their friends as the gentle music finally started.

"I'll swim and sail on savage seas

with ne'er a fear of drowning."

The crowd went silent at Gobber's gentle voice. Hiccup smiled, and looked at his mother. Stoick would have loved this. It wasn't as grand, and powerful like how he remembered his father sang, but the way Gobber sang at this moment was gentle, almost vulnerable.

"I would bring you rings of gold,

I'd even sing you poetry! "

Hiccup and Astrid nodded at each other, then stepped out for a slow dance. Fishlegs and Ruffnut moved to the music in each other's arms. Other viking couples started to come out, and so did the dragons.

*What are they doing?* Luna asked curiously.

A Monstrous Nightmare, and his mate, flapped their wings excitedly. Stormfly's dance with her mate was similar to a chicken. There were plenty of weird movements, and she remembered Toothless did it the first time he tried to court her. So is this a…

*Slow dance.* Toothless answered, *Similar to courtship dance, but follow the music, and… feelings, I guess.*.

I see, *Do you want to do it with me?* Luna asked.

Toothless's gummy smile went wide as he took Luna out for dancing. Hiccup smiled at the sight of his best friend, and Luna dancing. The movement was minimal, mostly just circling, and nuzzling.

"Love is truly in the air." Tuffnut, and Snotlout chuckled as they remained seated at the table, watching the old man had his eyes on Eret longingly as he sang.

*How long does a slow dance last?* Luna asked excitedly.

*Only a few minutes, then we'll have a big drink before we leave.* Toothless smiled.

*Can I try too?*.

Luna got drunk right after the 2nd mug. Hiccup, and Astrid helped Toothless get Luna down the stairs.

*There's no way I could fly her home with her on my back.* Toothless looked at the sleeping dragon on his back.

"Do you guys wanna come for a sleepover?".

Luna's first party! AND YES! I LOVE FISHLEGS, AND RUFFNUT BEING TOGETHER IN HTTYD 3!
