They waited.

Eliza: Okay, everyone. This is the first Snoggletog... or Christmas, with dragons.

Sarah got a sneaky look on her face.

Eliza: What are you thinking Sarah?

Sarah: Yaknog.

Everyone looked at her strangely. Sarah got Yaknog from the shelf and gave it to everyone in the Viking section she thought deserved it, such as Snotlout, Spitelout, twins, etc.

Hiccup: Why did only certain people get yaknog?

Sarah: Because... they are special.

She had hid the smell and Eliza was snickering. The ones that had yaknog shrugged and drank it... only to gag.

Sarah: YES! Have fun watching.

They all waited for it to start up.

Hiccup (v.o):
This is Berk, boasting the kind of balmy, fun-in-the-sun climate that will give you frostbite on your spleen. The one upside is our annual holiday. We call it Snoggletog. Why we chose such a stupid name remains a mystery. But with the war long over, and dragons living among us, this year's Snoggletog promises to be one to remember.

[Toothless begins banging on the roof.]

Alya: What's going on?

Eliza: You'll see.

Hiccup:
Okay, okay, I'm coming. Well, good morning, Mr. Bossy!

[Toothless giggles at Hiccup, and Hiccup imitates Toothless' growl.]

Hiccup:
Do you always have to wake me up so early to go flying-

[Hiccup's metal foot slips on the ice, but Toothless catches him.]

Hiccup: Must still be getting used to the leg.

Sarah: We think so.

Hiccup:
Stupid leg. Oh, thanks, buddy, I'm okay. Yeah, we can go flying now.

[Toothless burps in Hiccup's face.]

Hiccup:
Eww, eww, what? Eww! Argh! Toothless.

This got laughter.

Hiccup:
Come on! Let's see what you've got today!

[They dive down a cliff face.]

Hiccup:
WHOOO-HOOO! Okay, you ready? Easy…

[Hiccup unhooks his leg and stands on Toothless, and jumps over a cliff while Toothless goes under. Hiccup lands on Toothless and hooks his leg back in.]

Their jaws dropped at the stunt.

Sarah: Oh. The stunts get better and more awesome the older he gets.

This made the vikings worried.

Alya: That looked like a ladybug-chat noir move.

Snotlout: I don't see how a ladybug or cat can do that.

That got Marinette's class laughing.

Hiccup:
Yes! Finally!

Viking:
Here?

[A Viking on a Gronckle is holding up a shield.]

Gobber:
Yes, yes, nooo, nooo, no, that one a wee bit higher!

Viking:
Here?

Gobber:
There! Ah, that's the spot!

Viking:
Alright!

[A costumed Viking child growls at Meatlug, and Meatlug playfully roars back.]

They laughed slightly.

Fishlegs:
Attaboy, Meatlug!

Meatlug: I'm a girl.

They laughed more at this.

Astrid:
Are you ready, girl?

[Astrid throws two shields in the air, and Stormfly uses her tail spikes to nail them to a giant, wooden Christmas tree-like structure.]

Stoick:
Odin's beard, Gobber. Vikings spending the winter holiday with dragons. What would our fathers say?

Gobber:
They'd think we'd lost our minds!

Stoick:
Hahahahahaha. Well done. Well done, all of you! I've never thought I'd live to see this day. Peace on the island of Berk. This will surely be the greatest holiday, we've ever seen!

Eliza: Greater than you think.

Stoick: How?

Sarah: You'll see.

[Vikings and dragons cheer.]

Stoick:
What the…?!

[Hundreds of dragons are flying above Berk, and the island's resident dragons all join them and fly away.]

Gobber:
What in Thor's name?!

Snotlout:
Come back! Where are you going?

Hiccup: Where are all the dragon's going?

Toothless: It's that time of year for dragons to lay eggs.

Everyone, except Sarah and Eliza, was stunned.

Fishlegs:
Meatlug!

Astrid:
Where's Hiccup?

Hiccup:
What do you say, bud? Wanna go again?

[Toothless and Hiccup swerve the Dragons en masse.]

Hiccup:
Whoa! Aaaaahhh! Oh, no! My helmet! Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh…!

[Toothless dives for Hiccup's lost helmet.]

Hiccup:
Toothless! No, no, no, no! Whoa… Wait! Toothless! Stop! We'll get it later, bud. We need to get back and find out what's going on.

Toothless: I just told you.

Hiccup: We apparently didn't know then.

Sarah: Clearly.

Viking:
What's the matter? Where are you going?

Astrid:
Nonono! Don't leave, Stormfly, don't go! Please?

[Hiccup and Toothless land back on the island.]

Hiccup:
Astrid!

Astrid:
Hiccup! What's going on? Where are they going?

Viking 1:
Why did they leave?

Viking 2:
What's happening?

Viking 3:
Will they ever come back?

Marinette: They are all over you.

Eliza: That's because he is the dragon master or most say dragon trainer.

Hiccup:
Stop! Wait!

Stoick:
Calm down! Give him a chance to speak! Hiccup, where are all our dragons going?

Hiccup:
Dad… I don't know.

[Stormfly tries to encourage Toothless to join them, but Toothless can't because of his tail-fin.]

Viking:
Where'd they go?! Snoggletog is ruined!

Stoick:
It's not ruined! We're Vikings! We've been perfectly happy celebrating without dragons for generations! And there's no reason we can't do it again! Now we don't know where they've gone to. But we have to have faith that they'll be back again soon. Am I right?

Gobber:
You're right, we are Vikings! We are tough!

[Gobber notices all the shiny bells and baubles attached to his arm and helmet.]

Everyone laughed at this.

Sam: That would've been more believable without the bells.

Gobber:
Most of the time… Let's sing some Snoggletog songs!

[The kids are walking back from the meeting in the Great Hall.]

Ruffnut:
That was depressing…

Astrid:
I know! I was looking forward to spending the holiday with Stormfly.

[Fishlegs' whistling]

Danny: What the heck is he so happy about?

Sarah: You'll see later.

Tuffnut:
What are you so happy about? Don't you miss Meatlug?

Fishlegs:
Me? Oh! Yeah! (Fake sobbing) I miss him so much! Well, good night!

Astrid: You do realize that none of us is buying that, right?

Fishlegs: How am I supposed to know? It's the future.

Marinette: From your reactions, future.

Astrid:
I've got an idea! Let's come up with a bunch of new holiday traditions! You know, to bury the sadness!

[Ruffnut, Tuffnut, and Snotlout groan.]

Hiccup:
Actually, Astrid might be on to something.

Tuffnut:
Easy for you to say. Your dragon can't go anywhere without you.

[Toothless looks over the ledge of a cliff.]

Ruffnut:
Must be nice.

Astrid:
Yaknog! Get your Yaknog! Come on! Get a frothy delicious cup of cheer!

[Astrid comes upon her friends.]

Astrid:
Hey, you guys! Try this tasty new beverage I made for the holidays.

Those that tried it yakked.

Tuffnut:
Ugh! What's that smell? Is that you? (Shoves Ruffnut)

Astrid:
It's Yaknog!

[Tuffnut coughs, disgusted.]

They all gagged slightly, grossed out.

Tuffnut:
Ugh! If I drink that I'm gonna yak nog all over the place!

Astrid:
Maybe you'd rather taste a punch in the face?

Alya: Violent much?

Astrid: It's not violence, it's communication.

[Ruffnut sniffs at the Yak Nog, disgusted.]

Snotlout:
Astrid, it sounds delightful. I'd love a mug.

[Snotlout forces to swallow it because it tastes really bad.]

Snotlout:
You could really taste the yak!

They all laughed at Snotlout's face.

Fishlegs:
Mmm, yum! What is that?

They looked grossed out.

Astrid:
Oh! You wanna try some? It's my new traditional drink.

[Snotlout stands behind Astrid, shaking his head with a look of warning on his face, and Fishlegs takes the hint that it's not for human consumption.]

Astrid punched Snotlout in the face.

Snotlout: Ow!

Fishlegs:
Oh… You know… Ehm… I have… suddenly inexplicably changed my mind.

Astrid:
Well, you don't know what you're missing. I bet Hiccup will love this.

[Astrid runs off.]
[Ruffnut notices Snotlout's discomfort.]

Ruffnut:
Are you crying?

[At Gobber's Smithy.]

Astrid:
Hiccup?

Hiccup:
Yeah, I'm over here, Astrid. Coming!

Astrid:
Here. Happy holidays, from me to you.

Hiccup:
Thank you, milady!

Astrid:
What are you up to?

Fishlegs: Good question.

Hiccup: I don't even know.

Sarah: Very helpful.

Hiccup:
Okay, you're gonna think I'm crazy, but I just couldn't stop thinking about what Tuffnut said last night. Toothless can't come and go like the other dragons, and that's just not fair. I was up all night and I think I found a way to fix that.

[Hiccup shows Astrid a new tail fin, and takes a sip of the Yaknog. Realizing how disgusting it tastes, he's unable to swallow.]

Everyone laughed at Hiccup's face but was in awe of the invention.

Astrid:
No way! You built him a new tail? So he's gonna be able to fly without you!

Hiccup (With a mouth full of Yaknog):
Hmhm!

Astrid:
Wow, what a great gift!

Hiccup:
Hmhm…

Astrid:
What if he never comes back?

Toothless: What? I would never leave Hiccup.

Hiccup: Thanks, bud.

Hiccup:
Mh…

Astrid:
What am I saying? Of course he will!

Hiccup:
Mhm!

Astrid:
Well, I'm going to spread some more holiday cheer! You're amazing!

[Astrid runs off again.]
[Once Astrid gets far enough away to not notice, Hiccup spits the Yaknog onto the floor.]

Hiccup:
Blaaaaaaaaaaagghhhhhh!

They all laughed at Hiccup's reaction.

[Toothless is banging on the roof again.]

Hiccup:
Toothless! Come on down, bud! I got something for ya!

[Toothless sniffs the contraption.]

Hiccup:
What do you think of that? Yeah!

[Toothless playfully turns away from Hiccup.]

Hiccup:
Would you just settle down! Toothless! Come on, bud! Let me get that on you! Yeah! You are going to love this. Okay.

[Toothless starts to freak out and tries to get the new tail off.]

Hiccup:
Nonono… To-Toothless! Stop! Please, wait! Toothless, please!

[Suddenly Toothless sees the trail expand on its own and calms down.]

Hiccup:
Ah… Here you go. See? Got it?

[Toothless first looks to Hiccup, then to the tail-fin, then back to Hiccup.]

Hiccup:
Toothless… Whoa!

[Without warning, Toothless shoots into the sky, flying away from Berk and his best friend.]

Hiccup: And then that happens.

Snotlout: Ha! He left you!

Sarah was unimpressed and hit Snotlout with a frying pan (Lol... Tangled)

Snotlout: Ow!

Sarah: Frying pans? Who knew?

Eliza: You really watch Tangled too much.

Sarah: It's fun.

They were confused.

[Three days later, Hiccup is still worrying about Toothless. He's lying awake in his bed, when suddenly there is a rhythmic banging on the roof. Hiccup excitedly runs outside.]

Alya: Is that Toothless?

Eliza: You'll see.

Hiccup:
Toothless I knew you'd come back… Urgh!

[Hiccup slips on the ice, then sees Stoick repairing the roof.]

Stoick:
Morning, son!

Hiccup:
Oh, hey, Dad…

Stoick:
Glad you're up! I was looking for your helmet.

Marinette: Which fell into the ocean.

Hiccup: Not my fault.

They all focused.

Hiccup:
My- My helmet?

Stoick:
Odin needs a place to put your goodies.

Hiccup:
Yeah, right… I-I'll get on that. Great…

Stoick:
Hold on! Hold on. Alright… Come on. What's on your mind? Out with it.

Hiccup:
Oh, it's been three days, Dad. I just thought Toothless would be back by now.

Stoick:
I'm sure he is with the other dragons.

Sarah and Eliza: NOPE!

Hiccup:
Yeah? I wish I can be that sure.

Stoick:
Ah, listen… I know what it's like to miss someone you love this time of year.

Marinette: Who?

Sarah: His wife, Valka. She... died when Hiccup was a baby.

Marinette: Oh.

Stoick:
But what do we do, when they can't be here for the holiday? We celebrate them! And I imagine that is exactly what Toothless would want you to do. Right?

Hiccup:
You're right.

Stoick:
Good! Then go get that helmet! We've had enough disappointment around here.

[Hiccup is carrying oars through the village when he bumps into Fishlegs, who is carrying a large basket of fish.]

Hiccup:
Oh, Fishlegs, you hungry? There's enough fish to feed a dragon!

Fishlegs:
Hahaha… Oh, a dragon? That's…

Tucker: Not much acting going on with that.

They agreed with that.

[Fishlegs runs off mid-sentence and into a barn carrying the fish basket. Hiccup suspiciously follows and looks inside when Fishlegs leaves.]
[Meatlug breaks his chain and carries Hiccup away.]

Hiccup:
AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! MEATLUG?!

They were all startled.

Astrid:
Hiccup? Where are you going?!

Hiccup: How am I supposed to know that?

Hiccup:
I HAVE NO IDEAAA!

Fishlegs:
Meatlug? What about presents?! Hey!

[Back in the barn.]

Fishlegs:
I can't believe him.

Astrid:
YOU can't believe HIM?! YOU KIDNAPPED YOUR DRAGON!

Everyone began laughing at the interaction.

Fishlegs:
Well, that makes it sound so mean.

[Tuffnut and Ruffnut notice something in Meatlug's nest.]

Tuffnut (Shocked):
Hey, guys?

Astrid (Not paying attention; to Fishlegs):
He flew away the second he was unleashed!

Fishlegs:
I'm 72% sure he wanted to stay-

Tuffnut (Irritated):
GUYS!

[The others finally see what's in the nest.]

Fishlegs:
Whoa… Meatlug barfed up a pile of rocks.

Ruffnut:
You're such an idiot! Those aren't rocks, your dragon laid eggs!

Astrid: For once you were actually right.

Sarah: This is going to be exciting.

Astrid:
Hey, wait! I bet that's why the dragons left: To lay their eggs!

Fishlegs (Confused):
But, boy dragons don't lay eggs.

Ruffnut:
Yeah, your boy dragon is a girl dragon.

Fishlegs (Surprised):
Okay, that actually explains a few things.

Everyone laughed at that.

Astrid:
Hey! Everyone's missing their dragons, right?

Snotlout:
Oh, here it comes.

Astrid:
I've got an idea! (Ties a ribbon around one of the eggs) It'll be another new Snoggletog tradition! Oh, this is gonna be so good!

Eliza: First off, so not going to be a Snoggletog tradition. Second off, so not going to be good.

They were confused.

[They hide dragon eggs inside everyone's houses.]
[Hiccup is riding Meatlug over the ocean.]

Hiccup:
Whoa! Meatlug, where are you taking me?

[They almost hit a dragon figurehead ship.]

Hiccup:
AAH!

[They arrive at an island with hot springs, and thousands of nesting dragons. Hiccup sees all the baby dragons.]

There were a lot of amazement.

Hiccup:
You guys come here to have babies! Whoa!

[He watches a Gronckle nudge her eggs into a spring. The eggs hatch under the water. Little baby dragons crawl out of the spring to their mother.]

Hiccup:
Aww. Wow! Hey, look over here, you missed one. (Egg explodes) WHOA!

The vikings paled at the thought of that happening.

[A baby Gronckle comes out of the egg.]

Hiccup:
Man, it's a good thing those don't hatch on Berk!

[After the teens plant a Gronckle egg in each Viking's house.]

Astrid:
Wasn't this a great idea?

Fishlegs:
Uh-huh! Everyone's gonna be so surprised!

[En egg explodes and the baby comes flying out of a house, hitting Fishlegs in the head.]

Fishlegs:
Ow!

Astrid: Nope. Bad idea. Bad idea.

Snotlout:
SURPRISE!

[Ruffnut, Tuffnut, and Snotlout coo at the baby Gronckle, when Astrid realizes something.]

Astrid:
The eggs… Explode?

[Houses all around her explode.]

Astrid:
THE EGGS EXPLODE!

[A man runs screaming from his home.]

Astrid:
I'm sorry! Sorry!

[Houses continue to explode everywhere. The "tree" sets on fire.]

Ruffnut:
Awesome!

Tuffnut:
Wow!

Snotlout:
This is your best idea yet!

Marinette: Worst idea.

Astrid: No argument here.

Danny: Actually. I can think of completely more worst things than this. Like being trapped in a Christmas poem.

They all stared at him confused including his own friends.

Sam: When did that happen?

Danny: Long story.

[Stoick sees the "tree" on fire.]

Stoick:
What in Thor's name is going on?!

Astrid:
The eggs explode.

[A final house over Astrid's shoulder explodes, and Astrid smiles nervously.]

Hiccup:
Toothless! Toothless? Ah, Toothless, where are you?

[Hiccup sees his dragon friends.]

Hiccup:
Hookfang! Stormfly! Oh, you have no idea how happy I am to see you guys!

They were amazed that their dragons had babies. Even the dragons cooed.

[Hiccup greets the baby Nadders.]

Hiccup:
And you have… babies? Oh, look at you guys! All happy, together. Who knew you are leaving to celebrate your own sort of… holiday. I should get back to my holiday. So what do you say there, Hookfang? Think, you could give me a ride back home? I'll see you all back on Berk when you're good and ready, okay, gang?

[Hookfang starts to take Hiccup home, but everyone follows.]

Hiccup:
Oh… Nono nonono… I think I just started the return migration.

Snotlout: Wow. Even the dragons want to follow you.

Hiccup: Because I accidentally started the return migration.

[Baby dragons are eager to follow.]

Hiccup:
Well, if you insist!

[Babies try to follow but don't have enough strength against the wind.]

Hiccup:
Come on! Come on!

[Babies land back on the island.]

Hiccup:
Ah, boy, this is never gonna work. Oh, hold on, I've got just the thing.

Fishlegs: What are you thinking?

Hiccup: I think it has something to do with the ship I passed on Meatlug.

Stoick:
Ah, Gobber, this is a disaster.

Gobber:
Ah, it's not so bad.

Stoick:
Oh, not that bad? The village is destroyed. The dragons have gone and left us. Let's face it- this holiday is a complete- What are these people looking at?

[Vikings see shimmering creatures high in the sky.]

Stoick:
What is that?

[Dragon Figure-headed ship is being carried by dragons.]

Stoick:
It's Hiccup!

Astrid:
And our dragons!

They cheered with the ones on-screen.

[Vikings cheer.]
[Ship lands on Berk and baby dragons spill out.]

Snotlout:
Yeah! Whoo-hoo!

Fishlegs:
MEATLUG!

[Fishlegs runs and hugs Meatlug.]

That earned a lot of laughs.

Astrid:
Stormfly! You're back! Oh! And there are babies!

Stoick:
Hahaha! Well done, son! (Gives Hiccup a big bear hug)

Hiccup:
(Gasping for air) Thanks, Dad!

Stoick:
Everyone! Grab your dragons! To the Great Hall! We finally have something to celebrate!

Sarah: I love this show.

[Back in the Great Hall.]

Fishlegs:
This is the best holiday ever! Howsa baby!

[Fishlegs makes baby noises at baby dragons.]
[Hiccup walks through the Hall, seeing everyone having a great time with their dragons. Well, almost everyone.]

Astrid:
Hiccup, I know this must be really hard for you seeing everyone with their dragons. But you really did a wonderful thing. Thank you.

[Astrid kisses Hiccup and hugs him.]

Sarah: MY SHIP IS SAILING!

Tuffnut: Then why aren't you watching it sail?

They all face-palmed.

Hiccup:
Astrid, where did Toothless go?

Astrid:
I don't know.

[Astrid sees Toothless creeping into the Great Hall.]

They all watched anxiously now.

Astrid:
Wow, man, I wouldn't wanna be you right now! I mean you brought back everyone's dragon except yours!

Hiccup:
Yeah, you know, this is not helping, at all.

[Astrid turns Hiccup around to see Toothless running excitedly towards him.]

Hiccup:
TOOTHLESS! Hey, bud!

[Hiccup hugs Toothless.]

They all cheered.

Gobber:
Stoick!

[Gobber gestures to Hiccup and Toothless.]

Hiccup:
Bad dragon! Very bad dragon! You scared me to death. Don't ever stay away that long again, and what is in your mouth?

[Toothless puts Hiccup's now spit covered helmet on his head.]
[Snotlout, Astrid, Fishlegs, Tuffnut, and Ruffnut groan in disgust.]

They all recoiled in disgust.

Nino: Dude, that is gross and you scolded a dragon like a child.

That got a few laughs.

Hiccup:
Yeah, you found my helmet. What-hey! You found my helmet! That's where you've been? Buddy, thank you! You are amazing!

[Hiccup hugs Toothless again.]

Astrid:
Happy Snoggletog!

Eliza: Definitely one for the ages.

[Toothless is banging on the roof again.]

Hiccup:
I'm coming, Toothless! Alright, bud, come on down. I was just-

[Hiccup sees Toothless has pulled out the old flight gear.]

Hiccup:
Toothless, what'd you pull this out for? You don't need this anymore. Come on, let's get going.

[Toothless moves away from Hiccup.]

Hiccup:
Would you quit fooling around? You have your new tail now. Toothless?

[Toothless breaks off the new tail.]

Hiccup:
Toothless! Stop! What are you doing?

Toothless: Don't want it.

Hiccup: That's obvious.

Sarah: Until the 3rd movie.

They all looked at her confused.

Sarah: You'll see.

[Toothless pulls up the old gear again, and Hiccup realizes something: Toothless truly wants to need Hiccup to help him fly.]

Hiccup (v.o):
Winter in Berk lasts most of the year. It hangs on with both hands and won't let go. And the only real comforts against the cold are those you keep close to your heart.

Hiccup:
Okay, bud, you ready?

[Hiccup unhooks his leg and somersaults off of Toothless, and they freefall together.]

Hiccup:
Yee-haw!

[Toothless taps Hiccup, spinning him in the air.]

Alya: You're all crazy.

Hiccup: Mainly the twins.

Eliza: No argument there.

Hiccup (v.o):
Turns out, that was the best Snoggletog ever. That year, I gave my best friend a pretty great gift.

[Hiccup hooks back onto Toothless and shakes the snow off the mountain.]

Hiccup:
Whoo-hoo!

Hiccup (v.o):
But he gave me a better one!

They all clapped and the dragons roared out. They were all amazed.

Marinette: How much more of the short films are we watching?

Eliza: Two more before the episodes. The Legend of the Boneknapper and Dawn of the Dragon Racers which was what the older twins were talking about during the first movie.

They all waited patiently.

CHRISTMAS IS ON IT'S WAY!
