AN: Got inspired by How To Train Your Dragon 2, so had this small one done...next one will be out soon.

Hiccup scrambled back desperately, his eyes wide as the Gronckle opened it's mouth, prepared to fire. He could sense Gobber some distance away, but possibly not fast enough to catch the Gronckle. He closed his eyes tight, ready for the blast, when thunk.

He looked up as the Gronckle crumpled to the ground, the fire just barely hitting above him. He turned, seeing Lin Chung, the quiet one of the class. He had, apparently, thrown his shield, aiming for the Gronckle.

Lin Chung was one of the best archers/shooters in Berk, and for that, Hiccup was grateful. Therefore, he blearily registered Gobber's warning about how a dragon would always go for the kill and ignored Mighty Ray and the others' taunting about his weakness.

Mighty Ray was his, unfortunately, cousin. His father, Mighty Blast, was even worse. Then there was Woo, the extremely smart yet sometimes annoying when he sprouted out too many facts teenager, who read more than a normal teenager should.

Not forgetting the twins, NoHands and Latifah, who argued on a regular basis. And then there was…Astrid. She was a fearsome warrior, even for a teenager, and was more than capable of handling any dragons or danger with her trust axe.

And, of course, Lin Chung. He was the sharpshooter in the group, able to shoot bulls-eye for any target, at any distance away.

Unlike the others, Lin Chung had briefly asked Hiccup if he was alright, which he hastily replied to, and rushed away.

Hiccup hated this. The Deadly Nadder was approaching, Astrid was currently trying to tug her axe from his shield, which he was holding, lying on the ground, and she was using his face as something to get her axe back.

The Nadder got closer as Astrid tugged desperately, until something hit the Nadder. It turned, to see Lin Chung. Lin Chung backed to the wall, where he watched carefully, before using a dagger to hit the wooden walls of the maze.

He had timed it right.

The maze wall collapsed as Lin Chung moved to the side, narrowly avoiding getting crushed. Gobber nodded in satisfaction. "Well done, Lin."

Lin Chung smiled briefly, before walking over to where Astrid was standing. Placing one foot on the axe and giving Hiccup an apologetic look, he tugged the axe out and handed it to Astrid before helping Hiccup up.

"That's right! Back! Back! And don't make me tell you again!" Hiccup, with both palms outward, 'pushed' the Zippleback into it's cage, with the dragon backing away nervously.

The dragon hid in it's cage, backing away in fear as Hiccup reached for the eel that Toothless had hated, and threw it into it's cage.

He turned around to see everyone looking at him in shock, and he smiled nervously. "Well, I got things to do, so…yeah." He wondered off.

This was starting to get annoying.

Everywhere he went, he was swarmed by Vikings. He couldn't have any more personal time, and the only way to be alone, or, at least, partially alone was to escape to the Cove where Toothless was. He was thankful for Lin Chung, who acted the way he had before, not entirely distant, more friendly than just acquaintances.

He was now in the Cove, and looked around, with a basket of fish. "Hello? Toothless?!" He walked around. "C'mon! I've got some fish!"

He grimaced at the raw fish inside there and at the stench.

"Toothless?" A voice made Hiccup jump as he turned, seeing Lin Chung raise an eyebrow at his surprise. He was carving something using his dagger, which Hiccup didn't dare underestimate.

For the peacemaker of the small gang of teenagers, he could be awfully aggressive at times. Odin knows how many daggers he could carry in one sitting.

"Lin Chung!" Hiccup smiled awkwardly. "Hi!"

"A Night Fury?"

Hiccup pretended to look surprised. "What?"

Lin Chung tilted his head. "Don't play the fool, Hiccup. You can never lie." Hiccup groaned, but it was true. Ever since young, he was completely unable to lie. He had to lie to Gobber once, but he had figured it out quickly.

That was the reason for his bluntness and his open emotions.

Hiccup frowned, hands out. "Okay, okay, just don't tell my father!"

"Why would I?" This earned him a frown.

"Because you kill dragons for a living?" Hiccup frowned as well.

Lin Chung sighed, tossing his dagger into the lake. "Have you ever seen me kill a dragon?" Hiccup had to shake his head.

He had seen the teenager (who was older than all of them) go out into the field as well (in fact, it was the reason Hiccup had survived the Monstrous Nightmare that night he shot down Toothless) but had never actually killed a dragon.

Instead, he wounded them, so that they were captured.

Lin Chung smirked. "You don't trust me, do you?"

"What if I said no?"

A grin. "Watch." He looked up, and whistled. Hiccup shook his head frantically.

"Don't!"

The teenager sent him an odd look. "Relax." Hiccup heard the beating of wings, and his eyes widened.

A dragon, a beige one, was perched next to Lin Chung. The dragon resembled a Monstrous Nightmare, but without the horns, and a smoother landing from the neck to the back. The dragon growled at Hiccup, which had Toothless bounding out, growling back.

But Hiccup didn't care. Someone, someone had a dragon. Someone he could understand. "What's he called?"
