EXT. WOODS/COVE - SUNSET BEGIN MUSIC MONTAGE INT. BLACKSMITH STALL - HICCUP'S CLOSET -bCONTINUOUS
Hiccup cuts and stitches leather, draws and shapes steel. He works by candlelight. An overhead shot reveals what he's building: a harness, complete with handles and foot pedals.

"Seriously, where did you learn this?" Gobber asked amazed.

"My secret."

EXT. COVE - DAY
Hiccup appears before Toothless, holding the new prosthetic. Toothless runs off as Hiccup chases him down.

Toothless
"If you're going to put that on me, you have to catch me first!"

HICCUP
"Hey!"

The occupants chuckled at the playful duo. Astrid sneered because she's a bitch. Nightwolf looked at Siren who snapped her fingers dousing Astrid with water.

EXT. COVE - DAY
Toothless and Hiccup are zooming over the ocean. The tail breaks free sending Hiccup flying.

HICCUP
"Yeah! Whoa!"

They laugh. "Did you think that was going to work?"

"I was just testing out a few things. It's more of a substitute until I had finished the major part of the project."

Afterwards Toothless explains to him about everything.

Toothless
"Concentrate on what you want to say. It's like telepathic communication. Now, 'hi my name is Riegan'."

"Riegan?" Fishlegs asked frowning.

"It's what Toothless named me. It means, 'dragon tamer' or 'one who speaks to dragons,' but no one is to call me that other than the dragons."

They nodded.

Hiccup
"Hi . . ."

Toothless
"You got only one word."

Hiccup
"I can't get it. This is the tenth time we've gone over this."

Toothless
"You'll get it."

Hiccup smiled at Toothless. He knows that Toothless will always have his back.

INT. BLAKCSMITH STALL - LATER Hiccup adjusts the harness and uses a metal clamp to affix himself to Toothless' saddle.

EXT. SKY/FIELD - DAWN
Hiccup and Toothless zip through the air - his rudimentary harness and tail controls are working, barely. They crash- land in an open field. Hiccup recovers to find Toothless still rolling around in the tall grass. Hiccup discovers that it's a patch of ‘dragon- nip.' Toothless writhes on his back, tongue wagging, in complete bliss.

It shows Hiccup being affected a bit as he shakes his head and scrunching his nose. Pupils slitting a bit before going back to normal.

This went unnoticed by everyone except for Astrid and Valka. Everyone missed the smirk that Siren sent Nightwolf. She snapped her fingers and a pile of dragon-nip appeared.

The dragons immediately went down and started writhing. Hiccup was having trouble containing his dragon side. He sent a glare at Siren and she sighed snapping her fingers.

EXT. TRAINING GROUNDS - MORNING
Hiccup grabs the head as instructed, then discreetly pulls a fistful of ‘dragon-nip' and presses it up to the Gronkle's nose. It immediately stops struggling and goes weak in the knees. Hiccup drops the handful of dragon-nip to the ground. The Gronkle goes down with it, whimpering and blissful. From Gobber and the recruits' point of view, Hiccup is controlling the Gronkle with no more than a limp arm.

"You tricky little . . ." Gobber glared at Hiccup who feigned innocence.

EXT. WOODS - AFTERNOON
The recruits walk home together, surrounding Hiccup and BOMBARDING HIM WITH QUESTIONS.

FISHLEGS
"Hey Hiccup, I've never seen a Gronkle to that before."

"Now you have."

TUFFNUT
"How'd you do that?"

"Dragon nip."

RUFFNUT
"It was really cool."

"Thanks."

He squirms and invents an excuse.

HICCUP
"I left my axe back in the ring."

He turns and hurries back.

HICCUP (CONT'D)
"You guys go on ahead and I'll catch up with you."

"Which you never did!" Fishlegs exclaimed.

"And I never had an axe either."

Astrid watches, suspicious.

"And she hates me."

EXT. COVE - LATER
Hiccup rubs Toothless behind the ear, causing him to relax and fall over.

"You ditched us for an overgrown lizard!"

"Yup and I'm the only one to call him that, unless you want to die. Also, why would I hang out with you guys after all that happened?"

EXT. TRAINING GROUNDS - LATER
An angry Deadly Nadder approaches Hiccup. Just as Astrid moves in to strike, Hiccup performs his special rubbing technique, which sends the Nadder down. Astrid and the other kids look on from the sideline in amazement.

INT. MEADE HALL - CONTINUOUS Hiccup sits down at a table to eat. The other recruits notice him and move over to his table to talk to him - leaving Astrid alone.

FISHLEGS
"Hey Hiccup!"

"Hi!"

SNOTLOUT
"What was that? Some kind of trick? What did you do?"

"A secret and sort of."

TUFFNUT
"Hiccup, you're totally going to come in first, there's no question."

Silence.

EXT. COVE - LATER
Hiccup is using a mirror-like object to create a patch of light on the ground. Toothless claws and chases the light patch like a cat chasing a laser pointer.

Toothless realizes that he was chasing a ball of light for an hour. An hour! He looked at his rider. "Why would you do that?" He exclaimed.

"You were having fun. I wasn't going to ruin it."

"Sometimes I hate you."

"Nothing new then."

"Hey, Hiccup!" Siren called.

Hiccup looked over at her and saw a speck of light out of the corner of his eye. Toothless noticed it too. They looked at each other for a second and they both lunged for it. They pushed each other as they tried to catch it. Hiccup shook his head. "What am I doing?"

He noticed everyone laughing at him and turned bright red. Valka seemed amused by her son's antics, but at the same time worried. He's becoming more and more of a dragon.

EXT. TRAINING GROUNDS - DAY
A beam lifts from the door of another dragon pen.

GOBBER
"Meet the Terrible Terror."

A tiny, pint-sized dragon steps out and moves toward the recruits.

TUFFNUT
"Ha. It's like the size of my-"

Tuffnut is taken down in a blur.

TUFFNUT (CONT'D)
"Get it off! Get it off! Oh! I'm hurt, I am very much hurt!"

TERRIBLE TERROR
"That'd teach you to laugh at me! Ooh, shiny!"

Hiccup stops the Terrible Terror with the same light-patch trick he used earlier with Toothless. The tiny dragon retreats back to it's cage. The teens approach him yet again as Astrid looks on with suspicion.

TUFFNUT (CONT'D) (TO ASTRID)
"Wow, he's better than you ever were."

"If you keep that up, Astrid is going to kill you."

"I will not!" Astrid tried and failed to defend herself.

Hiccup and everyone stared blankly at her. Even her own parents!

CUT TO: EXT. FOREST - MOMENTS LATER
Astrid furiously hurls her axe at a nearby tree. She notices Hiccup walking by in the distance, carrying one of his trademark harnesses. She quickly tries to follow, but he loses her in the woods. She HUFFS, frustrated.

"I was behind the rock."

Nightwolf snorted. "Instead of being Astrid the Fearless, her name should be Astrid the Idiot!" She fell into fits of laughter.

Astrid growled. "What's your problem?"

"You're asking me this? Have you seen your bitchy and jealous attitude?"

"I am not jealous!"

"Honey, have we been watching the same movie? Because it clearly shows your jealousy. Now shut up and keeping watching. No one wants to hear your whiny voice."

EXT. COVE - LATER
Hiccup straps a newly designed harness onto Toothless. With Toothless tied to a nearby post with a rope. Hiccup rides him in the air - while stationary. Toothless looks like a giant kite tied to a tree stump. This harness seems to work.

EXT. SKY - MOMENTS LATE
The rope breaks and the pair CRASH into a tree. Hiccup's face is red.

HICCUP
"Oh, great."

EXT. BERK - NIGHT
The streets are empty save for a lone Viking who crosses Hiccup's path.

VIKING
"Hiccup."

Hiccup nods, trying to look casual. Once the coast is clear, he covertly steers Toothless into the Blacksmith's stall. Toothless PRESSES himself inside, rooting through stuff and making a racket. Astrid, walking nearby, is alerted.

ASTRID (O.S.)
"Hiccup?"

Hiccup FREEZES. Then frantically tries to pry the ring off the saddle hook. It won't budge.

Hiccup groaned. He was almost caught because of this little event.

TOOTHLESS
"Do something about that girl!"

ASTRID
"Are you in there?"

Too late - she's right outside.
ON ASTRID walking along the outside of the Blacksmith's. Hiccup JUMPS OUT the window and CLOSES the shutters behind him. Hiccup's harness line is stretched through the window, still attached to Toothless' saddle.

HICCUP
"Astrid. Hey! Hi Astrid. Hi Astrid. Hi Astrid."

Hiccup groaned. "I really need to work on handling things under pressure."

TOOTHLESS (mumbling)
"He needs to learn how to work under pressure."

"Heh, yer dragon sees sense."

"You mean unlike Vikings?"

Sirens went off. "SHOTS HAVE BEEN FIRED!" Nightwolf and Siren yelled.

ASTRID
"I normally don't care what people do, but you're acting weird. Well, weirder."

"Thank you for your concern, but it's too late to save me."

Toothless spots a nearby sheep and makes a move toward it. As a result, Hiccup is suddenly PULLED TIGHT against the window shutters. He STRIKES A POSE to compensate... then gets PULLED THROUGH the shutters. They snap back in Astrid's face. Astrid reopens them and finds nothing but an empty stall. In the distance, Toothless and Hiccup slip off unseen.

"Agh! I was so-" Astrid was cut off by muffled shouts. Nightwolf had duct taped her mouth shut.

She sighed. "That's better."

EXT. DOCKS - DAWN
A lone, battered ship is pulled into a slip, overloaded with equally battered-looking men. They disembark to a crowd of onlookers, looking like a team of hometown heroes who just had their butts kicked. Gobber hobbles through the MUMBLING crowd to find Stoick - last to disembark and glowering with battered pride.

VIKING
"Where are the other ships?"

SPITELOUT
"You don't want to know."

"Or do we?" Siren smirked causing many to shudder in fear of the girl's sanity.

Stoick lumbers past Gobber, leaving him staring at the trashed ship.

GOBBER
"Well, I trust you found the nest at least?"

STOICK
"Not even close."

GOBBER
"Ah. Excellent."

"Gobber, really?"

"Hehe, sorry."

Gobber follows Stoick up the ramp and snags his duffle bag with his hook appendage, sharing the burden.

STOICK
"I hope you had a little more success than me."

GOBBER
"Well, if by success, you mean that your parenting troubles are over with, then... yes."

Hiccup looked at his mentor. "Why did you make it seem like I died?"

Stoick stops. What does that mean? A group of merry villagers rush past.

VIKING #1
"Congratulations Stoick! Everyone is so relieved."

"Hey!"

VIKING #2
"Out with the old and in with the new, right?!"

"Once again, hey!"

VIKING #3
"No one will miss that old nuisance!"

"Well, excuse me for being myself!"

VIKING #4
"The village is throwing a party to celebrate!"

Silence.

Siren raised an eyebrow. "Wow, y'all really hated him. Shame. Shame."

Stoick is stunned, overwhelmed by the insensitivity. He turns to Gobber.

STOICK
"He's... gone?"

GOBBER
"Yeah...most afternoons. But who can blame him? I mean the life of a celebrity is very rough. He can barely walk through the village without being swarmed by his new fans."

Stoick is doubly confused.

STOICK
"Hiccup?"

"No, your other son."

Valka glared at the village and her husband.

GOBBER (BEAMING)
"Who would've thought, eh? He has this...way with the beasts."

"Yeah, let's go with that."

CUT TO: EXT. SKY - AFTERNOON Toothless and Hiccup soar through a perfect blue sky. Billowing clouds rise like mountains. The ground seems miles below them.

Everybody, except for Valka, Hiccup, and the abnormal girls, paled.

HICCUP
"Okay there bud, we're gonna take this nice and slow."

"I don't do slow."

"You certainly don't."

Hiccup checks a leather cheat sheet, clipped onto his harness. Inscribed upon it are several tail positions and their pedal position equivalents.

HICCUP (CONT'D)
"Here we go. Here we go...position three, no four."

He presses the pedal, causing the tail to flare. They roll off into an arcing bank, gloriously lit by the late afternoon sun. Hiccup tucks tight against his neck, thrilled that his new harness and vest are holding. The foot controls make the tail appendage quick and responsive. He watches Toothless' every fluctuation, trying to match it with the prosthetic. Hiccup sizes up a target - a towering arch of stone, rising from the sea.

HICCUP (CONT'D)
"Alright, it's go time. It's go time."

TOOTHLESS
"This is it!"

They dive toward it, lining up to pass through the arch.

HICCUP (CONT'D)
"Come on. Come on buddy. Come on buddy!"

They zip through the arch. A perfect maneuver.

HICCUP (CONT'D)
"Yeah! Yes, it worked!"

The triumph is short-lived. They smack into one of several sea stacks as Hiccup tries to keep up with the turns.

TOOTHLESS
"Ow! Watch it!"

HICCUP
"Sorry."

They hurtle into another rock pillar. Toothless grumbles.

HICCUP (CONT'D)
"My fault."

Toothless swats him with his 'ear' plate.

Many people laughed.

TOOTHLESS
"Get it under control."

HICCUP
"Yeah, yeah, I'm on it. (referring to the cheat SHEET) Position four, no three."

"Dude, make up your mind."

"I'd like to see you try, Snotlout!"

They pierce the clouds. For the first time, Hiccup can see the whole of the island below them. It shrinks with every passing second. He SWALLOWS hard and tightens his grip on the handles.

HICCUP (CONT'D)
"Yeah! Go baby! Yes! Oh, this is amazing! The wind in my..."

He spots the leather guide tearing free in the turbulence.

HICCUP (CONT'D) (PANICKED) ... "CHEAT SHEET! STOP!"

Hiccup grabs frantically for the airborne sheet...

HICCUP (CONT'D)
"No!"

...and NABS IT before it's carried out of reach. Toothless, however, obeys the command and suddenly STOPS beating his wings. As they slow to a stop, Hiccup goes weightless. The rings of his vest float off of the harness hooks. Hiccup suddenly finds himself detached, free-falling.

"HICCUP!" The entire hall yelled/scribbled. Gothi looked back at the boy to remind herself that he was still there.

TOOTHLESS
"Riegan!"

HICCUP (CONT'D)
"Oh gods! Oh no!"

Without Hiccup, the tail loses control. Hiccup and Toothless spiral downward. Toothless FIGHTS to get back under Hiccup.

TOOTHLESS
"Riegan! Help!"

HICCUP (CONT'D) (trying to calm Toothless)
"Alright, okay. You just gotta kinda angle yourself. No, no...come back down towards me. Come back down-"

Hiccup extends his arms and legs, giving himself as much surface area as he can. He angles back towards Toothless as the tumbling dragon WHACKS Hiccup with his wing.

Everyone was holding their breaths while Toothless and Hiccup glanced at each other. That was one of the scariest moments.

After a few more misses, Hiccup finally GRABS HOLD of the harness and manages to lock in - just in time to pull Toothless out of his dive... barely shy of the tree tops. They careen past the wooded cliff and directly into a treacherous slalom course of jutting sea stacks. Hiccup pulls the cheat sheet from his teeth and attempts to check positions. It flaps violently in the turbulence, making it impossible. With no time to think, Hiccup throws it away and steers Toothless' tail on instinct... with perfect intuition. Together, they manage a tight, hair-rasing series of split- second turns, making it to the open water, unscathed. Hiccup takes a breath and glances back at the death-defying obstacle course, now safely behind them.

Everyone watched in awe as the duo preformed something they thought was impossible.

He beams, relieved. He sits back and throws his arms up in victory.

HICCUP (CONT'D)
"YEEAHHH!"

TOOTHLESS
"We did it!"

Toothless concurs with a happy SQUEAL and a fireball. Hiccup's glee turn to dread as they fly directly into it.

ON HICCUP'S FACE HICCUP
"Ah, come on."

EXT. BLACK SAND BEACH - SUNSET Hiccup and Toothless lounge on a sprawling, deserted beach, snacking of freshly caught fish. As Hiccup cooks his over a fire, Toothless suddenly regurgitates a fish head. Hiccup smirks with forced politeness.

The occupants stilled themselves.

HICCUP
"Uh..no thanks. (gesturing to his fish on A STICK) I'm good."

They breathed out a sigh of relief.

"Really, Riegan?" Toothless looked at his brother in all but blood.

"Just because I'm part dragon doesn't mean I'm going to accept every single fish you offer. I'm still human."

Several Terrible Terrors land like seagulls, hissing and nipping at each other as they approach Toothless' pile of fish. One grabs the regurgitated fish head and drags it away. Another attempts to steal it from him. They face off and last fire balls at each other to settle the fight. Hiccup and Toothless watch, amused. That is until... Toothless spots one of his fish leaving the pile. A stealthy Terrible Terror is exposed as the thief. They tug on the fish, and it snaps back into Toothless' mouth. He swallows it back tauntingly.

Hiccup smirked. "Now kids, sharing is caring. Toothless is a naughty dragon and he's going to get in trouble when we get back."

The kids giggled. One went as far out and sang, "Toothless is in trouble."

Toothless sulked "ashamed" causing Hiccup to laugh. "Don't worry your punishment shall be a big basket of Icelandic Cod, but pretend that you don't like it."

"Yes!"

Irate, the little dragon paws at the ground and blast Toothless. He opens his mouth, the gas hiss comes, and Toothless fires a tiny flame straight into its mouth, causing the gas to backfire into the little dragon. It coughs up smoke and staggers away, looking ill. Hiccup laughs.

HICCUP (CONT'D)
"Not so fireproof on the inside, are you?"

"Why does this feel like it's going to be important later?" Astrid wondered.

Everybody shrugged.

Hiccup throws the hapless Terror his freshly cooked fish.

HICCUP (CONT'D)
"Here you go."

The appreciative little dragon gulps down the meal and approaches Hiccup cautiously. He curls up next to him. Hiccup is amazed.

HICCUP (CONT'D) (PENSIVE)
"Everything we know about you guys is wrong."

Hiccup carefully pets him... sending the Terror into an immediate, blissful sleep.

Many people who hadn't liked the dragons started to think about it.

Hiccup rolled his eyes. Did it really take this long? Come on people!

Siren was humming something and was swaying which was creepy to watch as she was staring off into space. Nightwolf leaned over. "You're creeping them out."

"That was the plan." Siren snickered. "Let's just get on with the show. We're going to be showing them 'Gift of the Night Fury' right?"

Nightwolf nodded. "Yes, I really want to see Hiccup's reaction."

They high five then winked at Hiccup. "Let's keep going, shall we?"


Whoo! That was fun to write. But that's where this authors note is going to go. I feel as if I should just completely stop writing. My sisters say that I should stop since I suck at it and am going to go nowhere with my stories. This isn't really helping my already low self confidence and esteem. Their lack of faith in me really makes me feel worse about myself.

I was studying for something that is very important and them telling me that I was going to fail made me feel even more nervous to the point I was shaking so badly to the point I couldn't hold a drink without it spilling. Tears of frustration and nervousness gathered and I had to concentrate on other things. I don't know if I should continue writing after the stories I've written. My sisters are making it hard to have confidence in myself.
