Previously on HTTYD: A Future Rider's Beginning...
"Hiccup...!" Jobber yelled.
"What is it?!" Hiccup looks back, but it was too late as Toothless takes off with Hiccup literally on his tail and began flapping across the lake, heading straight towards a rock wall.
"Whoa! No! No! No!" Hiccup quickly adjusts the tail fin and they dodged the wall, flying straight out of the cove and into the skies.
"OH, MY-IT'S WORKING!" Hiccup exclaimed in amazement before adjusting the tail fin again, flying around the place as Toothless lets out a roar, feeling excited by it.
Dusty, Satsuki, and Jobber all watched in awe, seeing Hiccup flying on Toothless's tail while controlling his tail-fin.
"No way...It really worked!" Dusty exclaimed in shock.
"That's 'tail-ly' exciting!" Satsuki raised her fist in the air while Jobber laughs at this before placing his hands on his hips.
"Well...that surely is something." Jobber smiled before it stretched into his casual pervy grin. "Well...not as seeing as your cute butts."
"Don't even dare." Dusty glared at him.
"Aw, thanks Jobber!" Dusty sweat-dropped at her clown friend smiling giddily at Jobber.
"What is wrong with her...?" Dusty thought before letting out a sigh and decided to hold that off as she and her friends continued to watch Hiccup and the Night Fury nose-diving back down to the cove as they flew across the lake.
"YES! YES, I DID IT" Hiccup cheered, pumping a fist in the air. Toothless realizes Hiccup is on his tail and throws him off.
"AAAAAGGGGHHHHH!" Hiccup screamed, falling straight into the lake. However, as Toothless tried to fly upwards, he couldn't be able to steer the fin on his own and then crashes into the lake. Hiccup manages to pop right out of the lake and raises his hands in the air and yelled out "Yeah!"
And now back to training dragons!
"Huh...so that's what happened..."
Well that was a lot faster than I thought.
We all sat around in a circle on some rocks while our dragons interacted with each other. Nights was sleeping in an upside down position by a big tree by the corner. Silverspike coiled herself around and softly took her nap. Toothless and Luna were just...staring at one another. I'm not sure what's happening, but I was more focused onto telling my story to my friends.
"Yeah, and we've been discussing a lot about the war." Runa sighed, looking down on her knees. "It's mainly about why we were so fixated onto fighting dragons so much..."
"Yeah..." I nodded in agreement, holding back the grim look I had. "All this time, they've been fighting each other to the death without ever figuring out what's been going on..."
"I get what you mean laddie. After seeing those four dragons, I doubt it as well." Jobber agreed, crossing his arms. "So what does this mean...?"
"Did our ancestors...just lied to us with these many different reasons in order to motivate everyone even today to continue the war?" Dusty questioned, her face turning pale. "B-But that's crazy...I mean, sure that wars always seemed to take so long that many people stopped questioning why they fight, but still..."
"It would make sense." Sindri stated, putting his paws on his hips. "Sure that your ancestors were as oblivious as to know why the dragons are the enemies and never knew how docile and kind-hearted they are, they stemmed out the truth with a false one."
"Really? That far...?!" Satsuki gasped. "Did Satsuki's ancestors lied to?! Darn it...!"
"I see what you get...All the more reason why we shouldn't kill any dragons, especially them." Hiccup gazed over at the four dragons, finding them minding their own businesses. As he looked around, he soon met his gaze on Nights, staring straight at her. Nights was busy sleeping and looked pretty peaceful from where it stood.
"Something up, dude?" I asked curiously, noticing his soften and puzzled look.
"O-Oh, sorry...it's just that...well.." Hiccup frowned, looking down and rubbing his chin.
"Alright, spill it up bro." Jobber crossed his arms. "Just what's up?"
"Well...it's about that dragon." Hiccup glances over at Nights with a puzzled look. "I just can't help but this strange feeling in me..."
"Huh? Strange feeling? Like what?" Runa asked in worried.
"I don't know what...but it's this feeling...like this sense of Deja Vu...like...I've seen this dragon before..." Hiccup muttered, crossing his arms. "I just...don't get it. I mean, I'm seeing this kind of dragon in person right now, but yet...I don't know..."
Hiccup looks like he was in deep thought about that dragon right over. Maybe he has a similar sense like I do...Back when I was flying in the air, I felt this sense of nostalgia, like...all my life problems were gone...and I didn't felt like nothing holding me back. That's the sense I was having while being in the air with Luna and the others.
Though I don't get with Hiccup's sense of strangeness in him. I mean, how does he even know about the Stormcutter.
I stopped thinking for a while upon noticing Mikako widening her eyes upon seeing Hiccup's gaze at the Stormcutter. She seemed stunned, but what for?
"Is something wrong Mika?" Runa noticed her friend's reaction and asked her out of concern.
However, she only blinked several times before returning to her stone-cold expression and replied "It is nothing...It was probably just my imagination just now..."
"Really? Are you sure...?" Runa frowned. "I mean..."
"It is alright Runa, I am okay." Mikako assured softly.
"Well at least that we know that you are okay." Dusty chuckled, only to receive silence from the mysterious hooded girl. "C-Come on...! I-I was trying to be nice at least!"
"So this 'Nights' was a dragon you raised?" Jobber asked. "For how long? Longer than my crotch when it gets a boner when I see a cute chick?"
"Gross." Runa scowled with a disgusted look before seeing Mikako using her staff to draw some symbols to them.
"Ah...I gotcha." Jobber nodded. "Apparently, she says that she has been taking care of Nights since the last smitten meason...Wait what-OW!"
Mikako whacks him in the head with her staff, glaring darkly at the perverted Viking.
"I-I mean...the last winter season." Jobber grumbled, rubbing the wound on his head.
"Since last winter season?" Satsuki asked before shivering. "Golly, that sure was freezing cold. But then again, you do remain 'frozen shut' like how you are today."
Mikako didn't respond back and simply turned her head away from Satsuki, making the clown girl pout sadly.
"Aww...no fair. It was perfect." Satsuki pouted.
"It really wasn't a good pun." I commented bluntly.
"No offence Satsuki, but he's right about that." Hiccup agreed, making Satsuki slump her head down and used her finger to dig around the ground.
"You all are meanies..." Satsuki sighed.
"It's okay Satsuki, don't feel bad! I thought your joke was at least funny." Dusty smiled softly.
"Yeah, even I liked it." Jobber nodded before poking her breast. "Just as big as your knockers."
"Aww, you two." Satsuki laughed.
"Well...as much as I get it, I guess it was a little funny." Runa smiled awkwardly before turning to Mikako. "So anyway Mikako, you took care of Nights since last winter? Wow, that's pretty impressive. I would think she would leave once she was healed up, but it looks like due to how you took care of her and how trustworthy you were, I guess she couldn't leave your side, huh?"
"Agreed...she liked me a lot to join my side." Mikako nodded. "Though, that was the first time I ever rode her."
"Huh...You don't say..." I muttered, taking out a water bottle and drinking it.
"Indeed...she always remained being in the cave to make sure no one finds her. If any of the Berkians noticed her, then I can imagine what her fate would be; Death." Mikako closed her eyes. "That is why it was my sole duty to protect her till you all showed up and made me reveal my secret."
"Sorry about that. We didn't know. We saw someone walking through the forest and followed it, assuming that it was you that walked into the cave." Runa explained.
"Oh...so you guys noticed me? Huh...I see. I must forgive myself for doing such a thing like that." Mikako sighed.
"It's alright, no hard feelings." I reassured with a soft smile. "But let me tell you this that you can trust us since we happened to be the situation, obviously."
"Henry's right." Hiccup nodded in agreement. "I mean, we just befriended dragons which is against the rules."
"I know, I can already imagine that they would practically banish us off the island, or worse...!" Dusty gulped before shaking her head with a smile on her face. "No! We just need to be positive and nothing will go wrong!"
"Satsuki agrees!" Satsuki grins madly. "We can't let anyone stop us from doing what we're doing!"
"Though, this is a huge secret that we all need to be sure to not to tell anyone." Hiccup stated firmly. "Remember, don't tell anyone or give out any hints to what we're doing. There will be consequences."
"Don't have to tell us." I smirked. "Besides, those guys are dumb since they're so much into fighting dragons than thinking logically. You guys are excluded considering that we believe onto accepting our true selves."
"Yeah..." Hiccup softly smiled. "And we all seemed to believe that dragons aren't what they say they are."
"This clearly breaks every single rule of what the village taught us." Runa stated.
"Yeah, I mean...are we really doing the right thing?" Dusty wondered.
"True...but sometimes the things that we need to do to achieve the right thing have to take drastic measures." Hiccup stated. "Well...like what my dad would do for the village, I would get it."
"Yeah, we have little to no power or influence in this world, well you guys here in the past and me in the future..." I spoken, leaning back. "We're all restrained by the rules of the system we were born into..." I then formed a smirk on my face.
"But...who says that we have to follow the rules people set us? Most are unfair like following traditions by force and have to change our act and keep our personality for reputation and stuff, but we tend to break the rules for what we believe is right."
Everyone turned to me with a surprised look and soon understood what I mean.
"You have a point. We're all outcasts on Berk." Jobber agreed with a big smile on his face. "Hiccup 'cause he's, and I mean no offence and no discrimination, a hiccup. Dusty 'cause she's too short and weak, Runa for not being as strong as Astrid or any of the teenage shield-maidens here on Berk, Satsuki because of her joyful and weird demeanor, and me for being a pervert despite how cool I am, Henry for his rebellious attitude and how he thinks for himself, and Mikako...Well, actually, she's kinda a loner who doesn't show herself in front of anyone other than the talking cat and Gothi."
"As much as I love what you're trying to get, for the last time, I am a human being!" Sindri cried out, glaring at the big Viking. "Ugh, what does it take for you guys to get that clear into your noggins?!"
"It's kinda hard to tell." Hiccup and I rolled our eyes in unison. We soon turned to each other in surprise before we began laughing.
"Man, you two are really so alike." Runa chuckled. "Are you two sure that you're not secretly brothers...?"
"What? No way...!" We replied in unison before we began smiling at each other.
"Wow, you two are so in sync! You two are like twins!" Satsuki laughed.
"Tell me about it." Jobber chuckled. "But you know, those two aren't the only people that look alike. Well more like, dragons."
"Mm?" I raised a brow before following Jobber's gaze and saw what he meant. "Oh, them."
The gang soon turned around and saw Toothless and Luna gazing at each other in curiosity and awe. Huh, this is the first time that two different yet similar looking species have finally met each other and they've just been looking at each other for so long.
"What are they doing...?" Runa asked, noticing this.
"I think they're starting to get to know each other." Hiccup suggested with a shrug. "I mean, I don't think they knew each other's existence..."
Good point there. This is the first time both Toothless and Luna are first meeting each other...and I guess the two are so shy.
"Ooh! This is just gonna be something we're gonna love!" Jobber cried out with an excited and giddy look on his face. "Hey! Luna! Toothless! Get out and make out! Make some babies and don't hold back!"
"Dude!" I hissed.
However, the moment he shouted that out, Luna turned to us with widened eyes that showed how fearful she was before quickly flying off and hiding behind a rock in fear. Toothless tried to go after her, but saw how frightened she was. He let out a huff before giving Jobber a deadpanned look.
"Oops..." Jobber chuckled nervously with a small blush. "My bad..."
"Way to go." I rolled my eyes.
"Real smooth there, Jobber." Hiccup shook his head.
"What? I was just-OW!" Runa whipped Jobber by the butt, causing him to hiss angrily.
"Would you stop being a pervert for once, you dunce?" Runa questioned with narrowed eyes. "Seriously, you just like doing that."
"What? I was just saying...!" Jobber cried out before making a pervy grin. "Jeez Runa, if you wanna hit me, you could just kick me right up my butthole."
"Just shut up..." Runa sighed.
"Oh, well Dusty-"
"Please don't ask me." Dusty cut him off with a displeased look.
"Mikako-" Jobber stopped upon seeing the darkened look on Mikako's face. "N-Never mind...Well...Satsuki?"
"Hmmmmmmmm...Okay!" Okay, are you serious right now?! What the hell is wrong with you?! I guess she's just as a perv as her. Never underestimate her at all just 'cause she's just as a clown and a jester.
"Thank you! How about we-"
"Please don't." Hiccup sighed before turning back to Toothless staring back at Luna out of concern for her. He closed his eyes and let out a sad warble, wondering what to do to get her to calm down.
"Poor Toothless...he has a broken heart." Satsuki sniffled. "Reminds me of how my aunt and uncle went through that divorce...it was so horrible..."
"I'm actually curious about that..." Dusty muttered, intrigued by that.
"Yeah, let's not." I rolled my eyes before turning to the Furies. "But although, I do feel bad for them. I think...they were practically seeing each other in that way."
"Yeah, that's what I think too." Hiccup nodded in agreement.
"Wait, you mean that they...like each other?" Runa guessed.
"Well that's what we think." Hiccup shrugged while I nodded in agreement.
They first started looking at each other, so what did you expect?
Toothless let out a purr and tried to get Luna's attention, but the Light Fury continues to hide behind a rock out of fear.
"Though...I guess Luna is easily frightened when Jobber shouted. I guess it's best if we just left." Hiccup suggested.
"Yeah...but just in case, we should probably keep an eye out for them." I added. "They could possibly fight over each other."
"Good point." Hiccup agreed.
"Okay, but what about Silverspike and Nights?" Runa asked.
"You may leave them..." Mikako offered. "This cove is seemed to be the best place for now. Nights is enjoying her stay here in this peaceful place...along with Silverspike. However, they may wish to fly back to the dark cavern my Stormcutter was living in or the garden the Light Fury was sleeping and tending to."
That's a good idea...but what if someone finds one of them walking or flying around. They could possibly discover them. Then it won't be just the dragons that would be dead, but so will we.
"I guess..." Runa sighed.
"In the meantime, they can at least observe how Toothless and Luna will interact by the sidelines." Dusty smiled. "I think it would be amazing to see two interspecies get along so well! Ooh, I'm just getting so excited that I can pee...N-Not literally, I mean!"
"Yes Dusty, we know..." Hiccup rolled his eyes with a smile on his face. "But anyway, let's go and view this from the entrance."
"Yeah, just to keep a close eye on them." I nodded in agreement before we began making our way towards the Cove's entrance, but one Viking was so persistent on staying here.
"Aww...can I at least stay and help them?" Jobber questioned. "I mean, I could teach how they can-"
"No." Me and Hiccup called sharply.
"But I-OWOWOWOWOWOWOW!" Runa grabbed Jobber by the ear, causing him to scream over and over in pain.
"Yeah, no because you'll just make things worse." Runa huffed.
"Aww..." Jobber groaned before being dragged out of the place. "Fine..."
Sorry dude, it's not that we don't trust you but...it's cause we don't trust you dude. So suck it up.
We soon headed back to the top of the cove's entrance and kept an eye on Toothless, who was waiting for Luna to come out. Luna slowly crawled out of her hiding spot and walked over to Toothless. Toothless let out a gulp, almost like he was nervous before glancing at the other dragons, who gave him look of support and encouragement. Toothless stared back at Luna before glancing upwards to us, mainly at Hiccup.
The scrawny Viking ancestor of mine just let out a shrug, unsure what to do.
Toothless looked towards Luna as she slowly extend out her wings and began moving around while flapping her wings a little. She trotted around in a circle before sitting down with a curious look.
Huh, I think what that was...a dance in some way?
"Ooh! Is she doing some sort of dancing?" Satsuki smiled brightly.
"I think it was a mating call." Dusty hypothesized. "Birds tend to do that, and they dance along with the male in order to catch the attention of other potential mates."
"That's pretty weird..." Runa muttered. "Then again, we never seen a dragon mating call before..."
"I know, and it's already fascinating...!" Dusty giggled.
"Yeah. Actually, it reminds me of a peacock." I commented, placing my hands in my pockets.
"Peacock?" Dusty questioned with a confused look, along with the others.
"Oh? Need me to fill you guys with some knowledge from the future?" I smirked before taking out my phone and showing them a video of a peacock doing the mating call. It was just a simple male just showing off its' large feathers.
"Whoa...!" Runa blinked in shock.
"So cool...how did the image move?" Hiccup asked in surprise.
"I'll say! This is one strange box you got Henry!" Jobber pointed out, blinking in surprise.
"W-Well...it's nothing." I coughed, scratching the back of my head.
"And how exactly is that nothing?" Runa questioned, folding her arms with a raised brow.
"W-Well...I'm used to this kind of stuff, so it's understandable why you guys don't know Youtube." I rubbed the back of my head while the gang just stared at me.
"You...tube?" Satsuki asked. "You mean that...in what Jobber would say if he took off his-"
"Please don't finish that for our sake!" Runa pleaded, letting out a heavy sigh.
"It's a website created in my time. It was created as a source of entertainment, or learning and it was made in 2005...you guys do get what I'm saying, right?" The gang all slowly nodded with solemn looks. And of course they're nodding, great...they're totally understanding this sense of logic.
"That's a really long time for us. Amazing how the people in the future were able to create this kind of stuff." Hiccup commented with a smile. I promptly smirked at him and replied "I guess I can show it to you guys another time...but right now, let's see where this stuff will go."
I pointed back to Toothless and Luna doing their mating call as Toothless looked at his wings before glancing upwards at us. Hiccup shrugged before he began waving his arms around.
"What are you doing?" I asked with a raised brow.
"J-Just helping him...that's all..." Hiccup blushed while I rolled my eyes with a playful smirk. Since when were you a ladies' man? You aren't Jobber, dude.
Back at the matter at hand, Toothless looked at his wings before he began flapping them around and smiled at Luna, but she just licked herself while Toothless frowned.
"Damn..." I muttered.
"I guess it wasn't good enough..." Dusty frowned sadly.
Toothless looked upwards at us again as Hiccup shrugged before giving him a smile and thumbs up.
While that, Luna looked back up as well before setting her sights on me with a pleading look. Sounds like she needs help too...
Guess I'm the wingman for the job, eh? Well in that case...
You want advice? Well I'll give ya advice then. Even though I'm terrible at talking to girls.
I stood up and just waved my arms around and flailed them and gave her a smile and thumbs up while the others stared at me.
"...No comment." Hiccup said in a dry tone.
"Yeah...Henry, I never expected you to ever do that." Runa blinked.
"Well you know." I smirked. "I just have that playful side you all never see coming."
"Not wrong there lad, but you really scare me sometimes." Jobber agreed.
"Satsuki agrees." Satsuki hummed, tilting her head before looking back at the dragons. "Hey look!"
We looked back at the scene and saw Toothless flapping his wings very quickly, so quickly that he starts losing control on altitude and then causes to fall on top of Luna.
Luna grew startled by this before quickly getting Toothless off of her and felt embarrassed by this. Toothless starts to grow frustrated before turning to Hiccup while Luna turned to me.
"Why are they always looking at them?" Jobber wondered.
"'Cause those two dragons trust these two." Mikako answered, sitting in a meditating pose. "It is best...not to question it..."
"Hmph...I could have done it." Jobber grumbled, crossing his arms in a huff while Hiccup and I looked at each other with sheepish grins.
Well, you could try but it won't work. We turned back to see Toothless attempting to stand on his hind legs and began walking around, which proves to be...hilarious!
Oh my god, someone...please...take a picture of this!
Toothless began performing some strange dances while Luna attempted to do her mating dance to impress him, but she was starting to grow agitated as well while Hiccup face-palmed and I was just laughing my ass off.
"Ha ha ha ha ha! Oh my god, this is just...Oh my..."
"Really? You're not even a little embarrassed?" Hiccup asked with a raised brow.
"Hey, I call what I see right here..." I smirked.
"Ugh, boys..." Runa groaned, rolling her eyes.
Soon, the gang soon noticed Toothless began doing this...Wait, what is that? Just...this is just too frigging weird. Luna slowly stopped her mating call dance and stared at Toothless with widened eyes of bewilderment before she began hitting him in the face with her paw. Letting out a huff, she flew over to a large branch and hangs down from its branch.
Toothless stood there with a sad look while Silverspike and Nights walks over and stood by Toothless's side. Silverspike gave out a growl, almost like she was trying to cheer him up while Nights stood there with a solemn look and stared at Toothless before looking back at Luna, who was trying to hide herself with her wings.
"Oh boy..." Hiccup muttered.
"This is bad start for two interspecies trying to date each other, so how is Toothless gonna win the heart of Luna The Light Fury?" Jobber gritted his teeth, clenching his fists. "My pants are swelling with excitement...!"
"Please stop, dude." I groaned before gazing at Luna with a concerned look before seeing her opening up her wings and stared at me. I gave her a wink and mouthed 'Trust him'.
If she wants to be friends with Toothless, she's gotta learn how to trust him.
Toothless turned to the other two dragons, who just shrugged. Letting out a sigh, the Night Fury suddenly came up with something and began racing over to the tree Luna was presiding as he began climbing it over and stood on top of the same tree branch she was on. He then pointed his wing at Luna, addressing what he was doing.
Wait, what is he...Oh no...
Toothless began jumping up and down to make her come down, but it was futile as it was giving Luna a slight dizziness and the branch was slowly breaking.
"T-Toothless...!" Runa cried out. "Stop...!"
Me and Hiccup both held deadpanned looks and face-palmed. Oh my god...this is not how you do it Toothless. Then again, I'm one to talk...
Luna unfolded her wings and gave a glare at Toothless, which made him stop before smiling sheepishly at Luna till the branch broken and caused the two Furies to fall on top of each other.
Toothless landed on Luna, who was closed to his face as the two Furies blushed madly before quickly getting off of each other, which was struggling as they were both attempting to get off of each other.
After five minutes of struggle, they managed to get off of each other's necks and looked at each other with embarrassed looks. Toothless let out a sheepish smile while Luna looks down with a blush and tries to ignore what she went through by licking herself.
Toothless let out a sigh before an idea popped out of his idea. He quickly rushes over and grabs the broken tree branch and slowly began drawing something from across the dirt.
"Wait, is he...?" Dusty blinked in shock before gasping. "Oh, he is! He's attempting to draw and it must be a drawing out of her!"
"Huh, I never knew that he could draw." Sindri blinked in confusion. "Guess he must've learned that from you guys."
"Yeah except it sucked." I stated in a blunt manner.
"Yeah...it really was, but what Toothless seems to know what's up." Hiccup pointed out before we looked over and to our shock, Toothless...was actually doing really well. We all stood there in shock as Luna walks over to Toothless's little art drawing he made as she purrs in delight. Toothless squinted his eyes at her before quickly smiling and making a few adjustments.
And once he was finished, Luna stood there in awe, including the other dragons at what Toothless drew. It was indeed a drawing of Luna, only except it looked a lot better than what he tried to do for Hiccup and Luna did for me.
"Oh, so you can draw." Hiccup rolled his eyes, grumbling.
"Sucks, doesn't it?" I shrugged.
"That's so cute..." Runa cooed. "Toothless is really much a good boy..."
"Mm..." Mikako hummed, silently staring at the two Furies. Luna walks over and admires Toothless' drawing till she accidentally steps on it, which made Toothless angry. Luna growls back at Toothless, but the latter soon replaced his anger with awe, dropping the stick in the process. Luna grew surprised by this before walking over to Toothless, still staring at her with his mouth dropped down as the two Furies stares at each other. Luna softly smiled before she licked Toothless by the snout, much to the Night Fury's shock before he dropped himself on the ground, letting out a happy sigh.
"Heh..." I grinned.
Well looks like they finally accepted each other. Luna nuzzled Toothless, causing the Night Fury to blush madly before he nuzzles her back. Luna perked up with a happy smile before she and Toothless glanced over at us. Me and Hiccup turned to each other before shrugging and then turned back to our dragons before shrugging at them.
Toothless and Luna both huffed before nuzzling at each other with happy looks on their faces while Silverspike and Nights watched them. The Razor-ship was smiling happily before nudging Nights, who was rolling her eyes and just continued to watch the two interacted with each other.
"Well I guess we can say that those two have successfully made up with each other." Jobber chuckled with a proud look.
"I'll say...Also..." Runa punches him in the nose, which made him fall on his back. "Don't touch me my butt. It's rude to touch women in their private parts. How do you like it if a woman would do that to you...?"
"Good point..." Jobber groaned, shaking his head and wiped off the blood off his nose.
"It's great to see both Toothless and Luna getting along at least." Hiccup chuckled before turning to me. "So you're seeing and thinking about this too, right Henry?"
"Yep, I'm seeing it..." I nodded in agreement. "They're obviously in love."
"Aww...that is so sweet." Dusty cooed before she began taking a ton of notes from the book she bought. "I gotta say, this is a lot of info we gotten and it all came from a mating call between two interspecies of dragons. Isn't that amazing you guys?!"
"It's really useful, I'll admit." Runa chuckled.
"Satsuki agrees! Just be sure that you don't 'char' the book up with a hint of 'coal'." Satsuki giggled, earning dry looks from us. "What? Satsuki thought she was being clever there."
"Right..." I rolled my eyes before looking at Luna and Toothless playing around, along with Silverspike while Nights went to 'babysitter' mode onto watching them with a serious look. Heh, those guys look so peaceful and I'm happy for them.
"It would seem that they've finally accepted each other." Sindri smiled. "Man, so this is what love feels like..."
"Hmm...a union between a Night Fury and a Light Fury." Gram muttered, popping out of the sheath and gazes at them. "I must say...this was highly unexpected for these two to get along."
"Like you would know or understand love." I scoffed.
"Don't underestimate me, squire. You should learn how to appreciate love like with-" Before Gram could finish, Dusty let out a scream.
"What? What is it?!" Runa asked, alarmed by her screaming.
"I just now realize it! We're gonna be late!" Dusty exclaimed.
"Late?" Runa glances away in thought before gasping. "Ah! Dragon Training!"
"Eek! Satsuki's forgotten!" Satsuki cried out.
"Oh boy..." I groaned, shaking my head. "Do we have to attend? I was thinking that maybe we could skip it."
"Yes, we do." Hiccup said, getting off the rock that he was sitting on. "Otherwise, we might grow suspicious by the others if we remain here in the forest."
"Good point..." I sighed before getting up. "Besides, I think they need personal time..."
"Yeah..." Runa smiled. "Toothless and Luna sure do, Henry...Now come on, let's go and do some dragon training."
"Yeah." Dusty agreed. "And I'll be sure to keep my book in my bag for safekeeping."
"Just be sure no one finds out about it." Hiccup stated firmly.
"Okay." Dusty placed it inside of her small satchel before we all began waving goodbye to the dragons and taking our leave to the cove.
"So Mikako, what are you gonna do now that Nights is staying there in the cove with Toothless, Luna, and Silverspike?" I questioned.
"I am going to...collect some herbs...to make some new medicine..." Mikako explained before covering her face with her hood. "Pretend...that you all never as saw me..."
"Um, sure thing..." Hiccup gulped before nodding as Mikako quickly headed out. "Well...she sure was interesting..."
"Yeah, maybe I have a chance to score with her." Jobber joked before getting whip-lashed out by Runa, who gave him an angry yet stern look.
"Do that and you'll face my full fury..." Runa hissed, earning a nervous gulped from Jobber.
"R-Right..." Jobber chuckled sheepishly.
"You know Runa, I never thought you would actually be friends with Mikako." I pointed out.
"Yeah, we became good friends and she told me to swore to never tell anyone about her identity. She's not very good at socializing with others and doesn't trust much on any of the villagers, not even you guys..." Runa sighed before softly smiling at us. "Well...until now, it seems."
"Aww...that's so sweet!" Satsuki giggled.
"Any reason why...?" Hiccup asked curiously.
"Not sure...she's just like that." Runa shrugged. "Besides, while so...I worry her since she needs to keep 'her' in control."
"'Her'?" I asked. "What do you mean by that?"
"W-Well...it's hard to explain." Runa sighed.
"It's okay, I think I can take it from here." Sindri offered, reverting back to his anthro form and hopping back inside of my bag. "Don't worry, I'll drop it down nice and easy for them, Lady Runa."
"Huh? Really Sindri?" Runa asked, surprised by that before seeing him nod in response. "Wow, thanks!"
"The pleasure is all mine...!" Sindri chuckled. "See, Mikako is doing some recon around Berk to study much of what everyone does here on Berk."
Really? That's what she does? I gotta admit...that's pretty creepy.
"But...she keeps something hidden inside of her. Literally." Sindri explained.
"Really?" Hiccup asked. "As in...there's something in her?"
"Yeah...think back when Henry was shot in the back of the arrow from those two dragon hunters." Is this cat testing us? Well...I wasn't there, so I don't know.
"Well...she looked mad, and yet insane." Dusty answered. "I was wondering about that...the moment she just acted like that and in a few minutes, she starts to act like a shy and quiet person..."
"That there is when the switch happens." Sindri explained. "Whenever she sneezes, she becomes like that..."
"Oh really? That's a weird way to do that." Jobber blinked in surprise.
"To me, that sounds like Dissociative Identity Disorder." I answered, earning confused looks from the others. "What? It's a real thing from my world."
"What does that mean? Is that a new special word?" Satsuki asked curiously.
"No, it's a disorder that stands for two personalities in one body." I explained. "It's very rare to encounter someone with that, so yeah..."
I mean, things like that only appear in TV shows and movies. So it's hard to encounter someone like that in the real world.
"So...another personality lurks within her?" Hiccup questioned. "Wow...that's pretty crazy."
"Yeah, I figured that out when we hung out secretly." Runa frowned. "That other side of her is too intense to handle, like...probably more intense than Ruff, Tuff, and Satsuki."
"Satsuki will take that as a compliment!" Satsuki chuckled before commenting "But wow, all of that from a big sneeze? That's pretty surprising...!"
"So if she sneezes, she reverts to that other side of hers?" Hiccup asked. "Is it...that bad? I mean, it did saved our lives from those two Vikings."
"Yeah, even I was taken by surprise. I guess she's slowly starting to control her." Runa thought aloud.
Huh...so anti-social girl has a split personality? That's...new.
"We might as well be careful around that personality." Jobber yawned.
"I'll say. I feel...almost bad for her." I frowned.
"Really?" Sindri asked in surprise. "Huh...that's surprising."
"Quite indeed...I guess you are learning, squire." Gram hummed in agreement, which made me roll my eyes.
"Yeah yeah, whatever." I scoffed.
"Say Henry, do you know more about this split personality?" Hiccup asked curiously. "I mean, just curious, that's all..."
"Well...I do know that the only that it can happen if the victim hold back strong repressed emotions from either neglect, severe abuse, or being traumatized." I explained, making the others become sad and concerned upon hearing that.
It is true so I learned about split or multiple personalities. I mean, the victim has to go through through some terrible stuff than you can possibly imagine. I guess, in a way, I sorta understand that feeling...in an ironic yet metaphorical twist, I have two sides in me. Not really a split personality, but...just my old self of who I was and...the new self you all are seeing.
However, I want to bring out my old self...but even so, I'm still not strong enough. Ugh, never mind...you wouldn't want to be interested...then again, I guess you guys would be.
"Oh man...that's terrible." Dusty sniffled. "I feel so bad for Mikako..."
"Me too..." Runa nodded in agreement. "Listen, I really want to help Mika, but...she's really too shy and not really...talkative around others, so if you guys could just please at least help her. Maybe being around the dragons more often after Dragon Training would help her out."
"Possibly." Hiccup shrugged. "But just in case, we all need to be nice to her, after all, she is a friend, got it?"
"We'll be sure of that." Jobber nodded. "But do you think maybe if I make her kiss me on the cheek while I nuzzled my face in her melons, do you think that'll cheer her up?"
Runa, Satsuki, and Dusty each glared at Jobber.
"What?" Seriously dude? It's kinda obvious considering how much you're upsetting them, well excluding Satsuki...most of the time.
"Please don't." Runa scoffed.
"Oh...well do you wanna-"
"No." Runa hissed sharply before she began heading out. "Come on you guys, we need to hurry."
"R-Right...!" Hiccup nodded before looking back at the cove's entrance. "See ya later, Toothless."
"Bye Luna." I smiled softly before we all began taking our leave from the forest. But you know, I was glad to at least have Luna and Toothless be happy. It's like the start of some romantic relationship between each other.
Hmm...Oh well, like it would matter.
"See ya Silverspike. We'll be back." Runa smiled softly before sighing "Man, what would my mom say if she saw me interacting with a dragon, our number#1 enemy in all of the archipelago."
"I think it's obvious that she would at least try and kill her." I shrugged nonchalantly, earning a slight frown from her face. I let out a sigh, realizing that it'll make her more worried so I placed a hand on her shoulder. "But...then again, she seems to be the understandable type of person..."
"Yeah...you're right about that." Runa nodded slowly. "But still, how long do you think we can keep this?"
"I'm sure we all will be able to keep it as long as possible." Hiccup reassured with a soft smile. "I know that."
"Yeah, we're all in this together." Jobber laughed, patting him on the back. "After all, we're the Berk Misfits!"
"Misfits for life!" Satsuki cheered. "Always out there making some 'mischief' out there!"
"Ha ha ha, and plus, we have a new member in the team!" Dusty smiled, glancing at me. "A really great friend who's from the future and his name is Henry."
"Oh...thanks." I softly smiled. "Heh, thanks. I really respect the praising."
"Of course you do." Hiccup rolled his eyes. "Well anyway, I hope we're ready to endure what Gobber has in store."
"Well I'm ready for whatever Pa has in store for us!" Please don't jinx this for us dude. I already can't handle the last two training sessions, so...yeah...
"Yeah...whatever he has in store for us." Hiccup muttered.
"And whatever it is, we'll tackle it together, right?" Dusty asked.
"Yeah, together." I smiled softly. "I think...we can't give up that easily at something like this...we have each other. After all..." I let out a small blush and looked down and said "We're all friends and we stick together..."
Everyone looked at me in surprise before smiling softly and nodded in agreement.
"I couldn't put it better than myself." Jobber smiled, nudging me. "Heh, now come on, we got some training to do."
"Yeah, together." Hiccup smiled before turning to us. "We'll be sure to keep this our little secret, and let's not have anyone know about that we became friends with the dragons. Together, we're the Berk Misfits."
Hiccup then placed a hand out in front. I've seen this kind of thing before...and...I never thought that someone would do that in real life. Then again, I don't have that many friends. Soon, Jobber steps in and places a hand on Hiccup's.
"A pack of misfits causing trouble on Berk." Jobber smirked.
Dusty then went up next and does the same.
"Along with those who have similar pasts." Dusty smiled softly.
"Those who believe in things that others don't." Runa joins in, placing her hand on top of Dusty's.
"Also who cares more about others than themselves!" Satsuki places a hand on top of Runa's before Sindri jumped out of my bag and puts a paw on it.
"Those who can put an end to this war and find the real truth." Sindri smiled before the others turned to me. I blinked in surprise that they wanted me to join in on with their little game before I smiled softly and places a hand on theirs.
"And to those, who would believe in the dragons and can end this war for everyone...and have the power to help me become better." I chuckled. "Together...we may be different, but we each share the same troubles in life..."
"And together, we're..."
"THE BERK MISFITS!" We all raised our hands in the air and cheered before each of us started laughing.
"Dude, seriously? Where did you get that idea?" I asked Hiccup with a smirk on my face.
"O-Oh...Well...just thought it would work." Hiccup shrugged, blushing a bit. "Y-You know...'cause we're all friends."
"Well okay, whatever you say man. Besides, I can see why you're the leader of this group." I placed my hands on my hips with a smirk. "You just love showing off plus have a better leadership than your dad and those other assholes."
"H-Hey...come on Henry!" Hiccup cried out, which made me laugh before we began heading out out of the forest. "Seriously, not funny..!"
"Sure, whatever you say dude..." I chuckled, rolling my eyes in the process.
But you know, I gotta say...a promise between us...it's something that us Berk Misfits will be keeping and that's a promise not just to us, but for our dragons and even myself.
Meanwhile
Mikako was watching them all leave the forest at the top of the Cove before looking back to see Luna and Toothless playing around while Silverspike attempted to have Nights joined in, but the Stormcutter was more interested with keeping an eye out for things while the humans were gone.
"Mm...my other self...I'm working hard keeping her control..." Mikako muttered, placing a hand on her chest. "I will not fall back and to keep her contained..."
Mikako then jumps off of the big rock before began heading out to collect the herbs she told her friends earlier.
That's when Mikako stopped upon thinking that. Friends? Did she...really think of them as friends? Runa was an exception, and so was Sindri and Henry since she was comfortable towards them, but...did...she accept Hiccup, Jobber, Dusty, and Satsuki as her friends...?
"Is my heart...finally softening up?" Mikako wondered before making a small smile. "I guess...it is...I wonder if they shall show me what is means to create bonds and strengthening...them...it would be...nice..."
Back with the dragons, Toothless and Luna were enjoying each other's company till Luna widened her eyes, thinking of something before she flew out of the cove, much to Toothless's surprise. He tried going after her, but wasn't able to fly out of the cove even with the prosthetic tail fin on him. Silverspike and Nights tilted their heads in confusion onto why Luna would leave while Toothless sat down with a sad look on his face. However...
Luna flew back to the cove with a bunch of flowers in her mouth. Toothless blinked in shock before Luna landed right next to him and shared him some of her flowers. Toothless looks at Luna, who smiles softly and nuzzles him, which earned a smile from the Night Fury himself. Toothless then chuckles before sniffing the flowers till the pollen gotten stuck in his nose and let out a sneeze, earning a chuckle from the Light Fury while Toothless grumbled, blushing.
Silverspike chuckled while Nights rolled her eyes as Luna and Toothless sat next to each other with Toothless's right wing opening up and rest on top of Luna, making the Light Fury smile happily before nuzzling back Toothless, making the Night Fury blush.
It was then that these two Furies finally gotten to become friends and soon...become close companions to each other.
To Be Continued
Don't worry, another chapter of HTTYD is coming this way. As of right now, I'm packing up for when I go out to college. I'm not sure if I'll be around that much next week, but I'll try. Until then, sayonara readers!
