Five year old Hiccup woke up in his room yawning. He gets dressed and walks downstairs to have breakfast. His dad had already left for Chieftain duty and sighs "another day waking up in the morning and no father to hear good morning." He pulls out a bowl from the bottom cabinet along with his cereal and yak milk to make breakfast. Dispite everyone thinking he is Stoick's disappointment, he sure did have more brains than any Viking Berk.

After having breakfast he walks out of the house to the Forge to begin sharpening little daggers which are the only thing he can lift for a five year old.

Gobber walked in the Forge to see Hiccup sharpening little daggers and smiles "good morning, Hiccup. I was having a little chat with your father about you."

Hiccup sarcastically replies "oh and I bet it was about what a great apprentice I am for blacksmith."

Gobber sighs "no, Hiccup. We talked about your relationship with your father."

Hiccup sighs "like I care what he thinks of me. One of these days, he's going to do something to me and then I will stop seeing him as my father."

Gobber sighs "don't be like that, Hiccup. He just has alot on his plate with running the village."

Hiccup sighs "the only time I feel happy is when I'm staying with the Hoffersons. At least Mr. and Mrs. Hofferson are like parent figures to me."

Gobber sighs "he's going through a tough time with lost of your mom."

Hiccup looks at Gobber and says "that's not an excuse to abandoned me."

Gobber gasped "you think he's abandoned you?"

Hiccup goes back to sharpening daggers.

Lunch time came and Hiccup leaves the Forge to go to the great Hall to have lunch.

Ingrid walks to the Forge to pick up Hiccup to see no Hiccup and ask "Gobber, where's Hiccup?"

Gobber sighs "you just missed him about ten minutes ago. He went up to the great Hall to have lunch."

Ingrid sighs "then I better go check on him."

Gobber ask "Ingrid, do you have a minute? I need to talk to you about Hiccup."

Ingrid sighs "what's troubling him now?"

Gobber sighs "he's started to believe that his father is abandoning him now."

Ingrid gasped "Hiccup believes his father doesn't care about him?"

Gobber nods his head "yes, and he also said that his only time when he is happy, is when he's staying with you and your family."

Ingrid smiles "wow didn't know he developed an attachment to us."

Gobber smirks "he also said you and your husband are like his parents and care deeply about him."

Ingrid smiles "well I promise his mother that I would look after him if anything happens to his parents and take him as my own. Same with Astrid if anything happened to me and my husband, Astrid would move in with the Haddock's family so that she isn't homeless. It was added to the betrothal contract between Hiccup and Astrid until they get older to marry each other or fall in love with someone else but I highly doubt that would happen."

Gobber smiles "they do make a cute couple together."

Ingrid smirks "they sure do."

Ingrid smiles heading to the great Hall to have lunch. When she gets there, she sees Hiccup having lunch with the other five kids but hiding the pain inside. She whispers to herself "I will not abandon you Hiccup when the village does."

Hiccup decided to explore the island for a couple of hours.

Hiccup walked around the forest of Berk seeing beautiful scenery and drawing them in another sketch book called beautiful places to see. He has one of only him and Astrid, then there's one of villagers of Berk and one of his friends doing stuff. The last one is of dragons that he sees when they have dragon raids.

He saw some scenery that looked amazing so he drew it in his scenery sketch book. After a few hours, he came across a cove in the ground with a lake in the middle. He also brought his dragon sketch book in case he came across a dragon. He found a path down into the cove and begins looking around the Cove.

When he heard a sound, he looked around until he saw a black dragon with blue eyes that was bigger than him, the size of his dad. He decides to say "hi there."

The black dragon curious looks him over sniffing him. Hiccup pulls out his dragon sketch book and draws the black dragon. While drawing the black dragon in his dragon sketch book, he fail to notice the black dragon get up and walk behind him to see what he was drawing.

After finishing the drawing, the black dragon goes and breaks a small tree off and draws lines in the dirt. When the black dragon was done he sat by a boulder to admire her work.

Hiccup walked slowly around the lines when he stepped on a line, the dragon growled at him until he removed his foot off the line and the black dragon coo softly. Soon he was standing next to the black dragon to see a giant smiling face.

Hiccup turned around to face the black dragon with blue eyes and holds out his hand to touch it when it growled at him. So he extends his hand out with palm out and turns his head to the side to see what the black dragon would do.

Soon the black dragon touched its snout to his palm. Hiccup smiles "my name is Hiccup."

The black dragon nods its head at that name.

Hiccup ask "do you have a name?"

The black dragon shakes her head no.

Hiccup ask "are you a boy or a gir-"

The black dragon snorts at the mention of boy.

Hiccup smiles "okay so your a girl dragon."

The black dragon nods her head yes.

Hiccup smiles "how about I call you Azula?"

The black dragon tilts her head at the name and coos at it liking the name.

Hiccup writes out his name in the dirt along with Azula and Berk.

Azula takes one of her clawed nails and trace runes in the dirt to spell names.

Night time came and Hiccup headed back to the village when the horn blew signaling dragon raid.

He ran back to village to see dragons raiding his village. He caught Snotlout chasing a terror with a little hammer without being aware of other terrors watching him. So he stops Snotlout from killing the terror and yells "go get out of here!"

The terror leaves with it's group flying away.

Snotlout yells "why did you do that for useless?!"

Hiccup ignores his cousin and runs to the Forge to stay out of the way.

After the dragon raid, Hiccup walked towards his house when Ingrid ask him "where have you bee-" when he faints from shock.

Ingrid yells "Hiccup?!"

She picks him up and carries him to Gothic's hut, their village healer and informs Stoick of his son fainting.

Three hours go by when Hiccup conscious wakes up slowly "wh-what happen?"

Ingrid sighs "sweetie, you fainted after a dragon raid tonight. You been unconscious for three hours."

Stoick sighs "Gothic said you fainted from shock of something black that you encountered tonight along with the dragon raid."

Next thing Hiccup knows, he whines "OW!" Rubbing his shoulder from being punched there by a fiery blonde hair girl.

Astrid angry says "that was for scaring me!"

Hiccup gaped at her "sorry I scared you, Astrid."

Astrid smiles and kisses his cheek "that was for apologizing" while trying to not blush.

Ingrid laughs at her daughter's antic.

Stoick sighs "uh Hiccup, what did you see tonight that shocked you?"

Hiccup sighs "you wouldn't believe me and understand it. I don't even understand it."

Ingrid smiles "sweetie, what did you see tonight?"

Hiccup sighs "after lunch, I went to the forest to explore for drawing scenery and I came across a Cove and then I encounter a black dragon with blue eyes and we just stare at each other and I drew her in my dragon sketch book."

Stoick ask "how do you know the dragon is a girl?"

Hiccup sighs "because I ask her if she was a boy or a girl and she said she was a girl."

Ingrid sighs "and this black dragon didn't attack you?"

Hiccup shook his head no.

Stoick ask "what did this black dragon do?"

Hiccup nervously replies "is it possible to form a friendship with a dragon because I think I may have bonded with that black dragon and taught her how to spell my name, I named her Azula and taught her, her name and Berk name."

Stoick sighs "Hiccup, I don't believe you but maybe it was your imagination but Gothi said you encounter it. So let's not breath a word of this story because the council will demand for your exile."

Hiccup sighs "okay, dad, but if I encounter another dragon in the future, I think I learn how to approach a dragon without weapons. I just don't know how I did it."

Astrid smirks "I should start calling you dragon boy."

Hiccup sighs "maybe not call me that because I'm not even sure that I even bond with that black dragon."

Ingrid smiles "Hiccup, I believe you encountered a Night Fury if it was all black, which means your lucky to see it. I agreed with your father and say you dream of encountering a Night Fury, until we can figure out what is happening with this war."

Hiccup sighs "if you think it's for the better than I'll say it was a dream."

Stoick left to go to the great Hall to drink. When he gets inside the Hall, he goes over to the mead barrel and pours him some and goes over by his best friend Gobber and sighs.

Gobber curious ask "how's Hiccup doing?"

Stoick rubs his forehead "Hiccup tried claiming that he encountered a black dragon in the forest this afternoon before the dragon raid happened."

Gobber curious ask "he saw a black dragon in the forest today?"

Stoick sighs "yeah, can you believe that! My son claims he saw a black dragon in the forest and even form a friendship with it!"

The ones in the great Hall that heard their chief, laughed at the mention of Hiccup meeting a black dragon in the forest.

Stoick sighs "what am I going to do with him? He's different from everyone else."

Gobber smiles "well he does good work at sharpening small daggers."

Stoick sighs "I thought he would follow me, instead he's fascinated with nature than fighting."

Gobber smiles "how do you expect to understand him if you don't show interest in what your son likes?"

Stoick sighs "Hiccup, is a lost hope, and I don't think he will be a good Chief after me."

Gobber sighs and looks at the door to see Hiccup standing there and gasped at him, "Hiccup?!"

Hiccup turns around and walks out the door.

Stoick looks up from his mug of mead to see Hiccup walk out the door and runs his hand down his face "oh great, now I have to worry about Hiccup not wanting anything to do with me." He pours himself another mug of mead.

Hiccup wipes his eyes "that's what he thinks of me, fine then. I will stay over at the Hoffer-" he trips over something and lands face first in the dirt.

Snotlout growls at him, "useless, you cost me fame at killing a dragon tonight! My first dragon kill! So now I'm going to make the best of making this village hate you forever!"

Hiccup looks at Snotlout scared a little before Snotlout punches him in the stomach and leaves. After Snotlout leaves, Hiccup walks over to the Hofferson's house and knocks on the door.

Alistair opens the door to see Hiccup and ask "what's wrong Hiccup?"

Hiccup whimpers "I don't want to stay at home with my dad after he said bad things about me."

Alistair smiles "come in son, you can stay with us for as long as you need."
