Enpowera: At long last the end of Snoggletog. So we must say goodbye to Dagur for now at the end of the chapter. If anyone is mentally thinking I am rushing the Hiccup/Dagur relationship, remember that they already had the romance somewhat started pre-fanfiction.


The next morning everyone woke up to start tracking down the gifts, which were hidden per tradition. It was twice the fun with the dragons having helped hide gifts and now joining in on finding the gifts. Hiccup had kept Dagur's gift set aside so she could give it to him in person versus making him search for it.

"Hiccup, I thought the whole point of today was to have people find their gifts, so why aren't you letting Dagur find his?" Toothless inquired.

"I'm going to give it to him in person," Hiccup answered, "I want to see the look on his face when he receives it." she blushed slightly.

"Are you going into heat? Is that why? You smell like it," Toothless inquired.

"No...no no!" Hiccup was horrified that Toothless could smell that.

"Are you sure? You definitely smell like you're ready to make an egg,"

"You have got to be kidding me," Hiccup really did not need to know that. At least she knew that any activities with Dagur were out of the question. Not that she was going to anyway.

Hiccup dressed and the duo went downstairs to get breakfast, Toothless choosing to stay in dragon form. After eating they took off to locate Hiccup's gifts and to track down Dagur. A bit later had them finding him in the Mead Hall.

"You mind going someplace else for a bit?" Hiccup asked Toothless, "I'd rather give Dagur his gift in private."

Toothless nodded and went to go hang out with the other dragons, leaving Hiccup to her own devices. Hiccup took a deep breath and approached Dagur, happy he was by himself as well.

"Dagur, you mind taking a walk with me?" She asked.

"Not at all." Dagur gulped down the last of his drink in what seemed at an inhumanly fast speed and got to his feet.

Hiccup smiled and took his hand, leading him off towards the wooded area for privacy.

"Shouldn't you be following?" Fishlegs asked Snotlout.

"...Right. I am on that!" Snotlout followed in secret.

"This will only end in tears." Fishlegs muttered to himself as he watched Snotlout go.

"Hiccup's or Snotlout's?" Ari joked, wanting to see that disaster.

Once they reached a private place, Hiccup pulled out Dagur's gift.

"I got this for you, Dagur," She blushed heavily.

"You actually got me something?" Dagur was surprised, usually people were too freaked out by his temper to consider getting him something.

"Yes. I started working on it the moment I knew you were coming," She handed the large package to him. In contained a Shield/Crossbow with a Skrill design on it.

Dagur let out the manliest of high-pitched squeals on seeing what he got, "Did you make this!?"

"Yes," Hiccup smiled, "do you like it?"

"I love it!" He burst with glee and gave her a big bear hug.

Hiccup enjoyed the hug, altering their positions a bit so that she could lean up and give him a kiss.

Oh no! What have I missed while I've been neglecting my duties?! Snotlout felt panicked.

Dagur remained blissfully unaware of Snotlout watching them as he met Hiccup half way and kissed her. The couple kissed for a couple of minutes before Snotlout revealed himself.

"No touching and no kissing...you better keep your hands to yourselves!" Snotlout ordered, forgetting in his horror exactly who he was talking too. He was soon reminded when Dagur decided to try out his new weapon on Snotlout. Snotlout ran away.

"GET BACK HERE AND SAY THAT AGAIN TO MY FACE!" And so the hunt began.

Hiccup sighed, wishing she could have finished the moment with Dagur. The only thing that'd make this better was if Toothless showed up.

Speaking of, guess who showed up from who knows where in a manner that would make Batman proud. "Your desire to mate is strong, I could smell it just about all the way back in the village."

"...Are you kidding me?" Hiccup facepalmed. "What god did I anger to deserve this?" All she wanted was a couple private kisses in appreciation. Not an announcement to the world that she desired Dagur.

"Beats me, still getting the hang of the names." Toothless shrugged. "You want I should get him back? Granted, that might not be the best of ideas, but if you gotta mate you gotta mate."

"No, I do not have to mate," Hiccup stated, "I really really don't. No unplanned babies for me, thank you."

"Riiiiiiiiight…" Toothless wasn't convinced due to her scent.

"Lets just go save Snotlout. He is family…"

Toothless assumed his dragon form, his tailfish swishing a little bit. How odd, it's not the fin he can control on him anymore… it's the initial one Hiccup made. They took off and managed to stop Dagur from killing Snotlout. Once Snotlout was saved Hiccup and Dagur continued their walk, shyly holding hands with Toothless following behind in dragon form.

"Dagur, wanna see what it's like flying on a dragon?" Hiccup inquired.

"Sure!" Dagur was more than willing.

The couple climbed aboard Toothless and Toothless took off. Dagur had a manic grin on his face due to the excitement. Hiccup enjoyed the feeling of him pressed up close to her, like two halves of a whole. Dagur just enjoyed the rush of his first flight on a dragon. Toothless just felt like a third wheel.

I got a pocket,

Got a pocketful of sunshine

I've got a love and I know that it's all mine

, oh

Do what you want,

But you're never gonna break me,

Sticks and stones are never gonna shake me

Oh, oh, oh

Take me away (take me away)

A secret place (a secret place)

A sweet escape (a sweet escape)

Take me away (take me away)

Take me away (take me away

To better days (to better days)

Take me away (take me away)

A hiding place (a hiding place)

Toothless and Hiccup both spotted a nice place to land for a break and did so. Toothless made himself scarce whilst Dagur tackled Hiccup in a post flight haze of excitement, giving her a deep kiss.

"We have got to do that again,"

"We will," Hiccup giggled as Dagur reached to help her up from where she'd fallen.

Dagur was surprised as Hiccup managed to pull him down beside her on the soft, snowy grass. A brief thought passed through his head on how grateful he was for Hiccups cloak being spread out under them. Those thoughts went elsewhere as Hiccup snuggled close to him.

Toothless took the opportunity to go explore a little in his human form.

~~~Back on Berk~~~

"Ever wonder what hiccup and dagur are getting up too..." Tuffnut pondered outloud.

"If Toothless wasn't there, I'd say mating given Hiccup is able to reproduce right now," Stormfly answered bluntly as she fed her nieces/nephews some food. Why else would a male and female go off alone together?

Snotlout really hoped Stoic didn't hear that, as that meant he'd be found out in his neglecting being a chaperone. Which means he'd be in trouble and not able to to try and date Ruff for a while

Ari faceplamed at what his dragon said.

"Wait, dragons can tell that's gonna happen?" Ruffnut asked.

"Yeah, my mom's not particularly happy when Meatlug tells her though." Fishlegs nodded.

"How come Barf doesn't tell me that stuff?" Ruff wondered.

"Barf doesn't see the point, as there are no males worth your time here, according to him," Stormfly answered, "I told him he was wrong,but he is headstrong,"

Snotlout felt the sting of the insult while Tuffnut tried not to laugh

Ruffnut took a moment to process that information before laughing. "Good point Stormfly!"

"That's my girl." Ari smiled a bit.

Stormfly shrugged and went back to tending the baby nadders, becoming impatient for the day when she'd have hatchlings of her own.

~~~Back to our Regular Programing~~~

Dagur and Hiccup were full blown making out at this point, much to the annoyance of a certain dragon.

Toothless let out an annoyed sigh. "GUYS, EITHER MATE OR DON'T!"

That statement got Dagur's internal warning alarms to go off and he broke the kiss. Hiccup and him panted a bit as they caught their breath, Hiccup blushing a lot whilst Dagur debated ignoring the alarm bells and plowing on ahead. He smirked and went to do so.

"Wait! Nows not a good time…" Hiccup stated I don't want to be a mother yet.

"Why not?

"I don't want to be a mother out of wedlock," Hiccup blushed even more.

"R-right! Good idea," Not that Dagur would had minded. This girl took on and killed the Red Death and tamed dragons, he'd marry her in a heartbeat if she was with his child.

"I don't see what the hesitance is. You both are more than capable of providing for a hatchling," Toothless figured it was safe to return to the couple.

"Tradition…" Hiccup answered.

"All those viking traditions are annoying," Toothless mumbled, Dagur agreeing.

"Well the moment has long since passed for any of that to happen anyway, so let's head home,"

"Dibs on flying Toothless!"

Toothless returned to his original form and let the riders climb aboard, Hiccup giving Dagur directions on controlling Toothless. Soon the trio were back in the sky and heading back to Berk. They landed (roughly) near the Mead Hall and went inside for the Snoggleday Feast, as it was about that time, the day having literally fly by.

Halfway through the feast music started and Dagur led Hiccup out to the dancing area to open up the dancing portion, as was the set tradition, even though neither of them liked dancing like show ponies in front of the crowd. Once able to, they sat back down to continue eating and drinking and making merry. The feasting became more rowdy than last night, everyone having a grand ol' time as they knew it'd be at least a few months before they could have this much fun again.

Hiccup excused herself as the mead started kicking in big time. She hated how it did that, everything fine then BOOM, drunk off your ass. Toothless and Dagur stood to help her get back home, knowing she'd never make it on her metal leg. Stoick, though almost too drunk to care, was relieved to see that Toothless was going with them, not knowing that Toothless could care less if Dagur and Hiccup did anything inappropriate.

The feasting and drinking went on all night, everyone slowly stumbling off to go to bed or to make a surprise baby. The next morning had many people swearing to never again let festivities go that extreme.

Hiccup woke up snuggled next to Dagur and Toothless. She and Dagur were a little rumpled up, but all clothes were accounted for and obviously nothing happened if Toothless was there. "Never again..." Her head was killing her.

Dagur seemed to moan in agreement from his light doze. Hiccup just pulled the covers back up and hid, the day could wait to begin till next year.

"Hiccup!" Stoic's usual yell was softer than usual, thanks to a SPLITTING headache from the night previous. "Where are you?"

Dagur was pretty sure his heart just launched itself out of his chest on hearing Stoick's voice.

"Uck," Hiccup SO did not want yelling. She didn't respond to Stoic right away and instead snuggled into Dagur more. More warmth, less loud noise.

"Hiccup, your dad!" Dagur warned quietly.

Stoick walked in on them, a blank stare and face.

"All clothes are accounted for, now leave me to my misery..." Hiccup groaned, but still managed sarcasm.

"Toothless?" Stoic looked to the dragon.

Toothless made a noise of confirmation.

"And the clothes?"

Another noise of confirmation.

All he could do for now was sigh and nurse his aching head. "Just remember to get up at some point." He left them.

The trio promptly fell back asleep. It was afternoon when they finally got up. Hiccup winced at seeing the long line of couples in front of Stoick, all complaining of having bedded each other.

"Just go to Gothi in six weeks and we'll worry about it then!" Stoick finally roared at the group. Maybe in six weeks his headache would be gone.

"What did happen last night?" Dagur inquired.

There's a stranger in my bed,

There's a pounding in my head

Glitter all over the room

Pink flamingos in the pool

I smell like a minibar

DJ's passed out in the yard

Barbie's on the barbeque

This a hickie or a bruise

"Hiccup?! What is that on your neck?"

"A bruise?" Or a Hickie. Whatever.

Pictures of last night

Ended up online

I'm screwed

Oh well

It's a blacked out blur

But I'm pretty sure it ruled

Damn

"Stuff was really funny. You vikings were all out of control," Toothless stated

Last Friday night

Yeah, we danced on tabletops

And we took too many shots

Think we kissed but I forgot

Tuffnut woke up dangling from the chandelier by his belt, whilst Ruffnut was cuddled up on the floor with Hookfang and Snotlout. Stormfly had made sure her human stayed somewhat okay, so Ari was only passed out with no embarrassing to say it was established no one would talk about what happened last night ever again.

This Friday night

Do it all again

(Do it all again)

This Friday night

Do it all again

(Do it all again)

This Friday night

It became a village effort to clean up the mess left and track down any missing people. Once everything was in order there were sad farewells as the Berserkers boarded their ships to leave. Hiccup felt particularly heartbroken, but resolved to keep in touch via letters with Dagur and work on convincing her father to let her visit.
