Hey! So this chapter is gonna go under a lot of revision lol. To make it longer obviously. Hopefully *sweatdrop*
Anyways, Enjoy Chapter 5!
Disclaimer: I don't own How To Train Your Dragon.
"Everyone!' Gabi yelled, causing most to jump, getting everyone's eyes on her. "This is Midnight." She gestured to the smaller, slender Night Fury with Sky Blue eyes. "And this is Toothless." She gestured to the slightly larger Night Fury with green eyes. Toothless looked at everyone, trying to sense if there was any threats. Once he found none, he retracted his teeth and stuck his tongue out. Hiccup chuckled at him, smiling softly. Stoick looked at the Night Furies with anger, sneering at them. Gabi glanced at Stoick, noticing the look he was giving the Night Furies. She glared at him before sitting back down. "Alright, Everyone! Back to the movie!" Anyone who was standing, sat back down. Toothless sat behind Hiccup and Astrid's chairs, curling around them. Midnight did the same with Gabi, curling around her as Gabi lowered Hiccup's, Astrid's, and Her's chairs into the floor. They all leaned back into their dragons and watched the screen as it played into the next scene.
INT. STOICK'S HOUSE - CONTINUOUS
Hiccup enters to see... STOICK, seated on a thick slice of tree-trunk. He is slouched over the fire-pit, stirring the coals with his axe. Embers waft around his beard. Hiccup tries to sneak past, up the stairs to his room. Stoick seems none the wiser, when...
STOICK: Hiccup.
"Busted!" The twins called out, chuckling. Snotlout smirked at the twins' comment. Which caused Hiccup to groaned and rolled his eyes.
HICCUP (CAUGHT): Dad. Uh...
Stoick stands, takes a deep breath
HICCUP (CONT'D): I, uh... I have to talk to you, Dad.
STOICK: I need to speak with you too, son.
Hiccup and Stoick STRAIGHTEN at the same time.
HICCUP, STOICK: I've decided I don't want to, I think it's time you learn to fight dragons. to fight dragons.
Most of the Vikings started chuckle at the pair's merged sentences. Stoick glared at nothing, as the words his son was trying to say that night finally set it.
(BEAT) (BEAT) What? What?
STOICK (CONT'D): You go first.
HICCUP: No, you go first.
STOICK: Alright. You get your wish. Dragon training. You start in the morning.
HICCUP (SCRAMBLING): Oh man, I should've gone first. Uh, 'cause I was thinking, you know we have a surplus of dragon-fighting Vikings, but do we have enough bread-making Vikings, or small home repair Vikings-
Most of the teens start to giggle as Hiccup tried to excuse himself out of dragon training. Some of the Vikings actually thought Hiccup's excuses could be of some use to the village.
STOICK: -You'll need this.
Stoick hands Hiccup his axe. Hiccup avoids taking it.
HICCUP: I don't want to fight dragons.
Everyone went silent. No laughing, or giggling. Everyone kinda just shuffled awkwardly, feeling the tension between the village chief and his son. Astrid leaned over to Hiccup. "Me neither." She whispered to him, smiling. Hiccup smiled back, happy that someone else was willing to help the dragons besides him. Gabi noticed the exchange and smiled softly, turning back to the movie.
STOICK: Come on. Yes, you do.
HICCUP: Rephrase. Dad, I can't kill dragons.
STOICK: But you will kill dragons.
"I'm pretty sure that he won't." Gabi muttered, albeit somewhat loudly. She earned some glares, but she didn't take notice to it, focusing on the movie.
HICCUP: No, I'm really very extra sure that I won't.
STOICK: It's time Hiccup.
HICCUP: Can you not hear me?
"Seems like it." Hiccup muttered, frowning. Astrid grabbed his hand, squeezing it. He looked at her and smiled sadly, causing her to smile back. They both turned back to the screen.
STOICK: This is serious son!
Stoick forces the axe into Hiccup's hands. Its weight drags him down.
STOICK (CONT'D): When you carry this axe... you carry all of us with you.
"Uh..No thanks. That's a lot of weight I'll have to carry and I'm not prepared for that." Hiccup said, turning it into a joke.
Which means you walk like us.
"Slouching is bad for your back."
You talk like us.
"Pass."
You think like us.
"I like my brain, thank you very much."
No more of... (GESTURING NON- specifically Hiccup)... this.
HICCUP: But you just gestured to all of me.
"I think that's your catchphrase, Hiccup." Fishlegs stated, looking at the scrawny boy. Hiccup smiled softly, nodding.
STOICK: Deal?
HICCUP: This conversation is feeling very one-sided.
Everyone started laughing quietly, smiling. Hiccup rolled his eyes. "Just like most of our conversations." Hiccup muttered, earning concerned looks from Astrid, Toothless, Gabi, and Midnight. They all frowned, Toothless purred at Hiccup, nudging his knee, licking his hand. Astrid rubbed his back, trying to cheer him up. They managed to pull a small smile out of him.
STOICK: DEAL!?
Hiccup glances at the axe in his hands. It's a no win argument.
HICCUP (RESIGNED): Deal.
Satisfied, Stoick grabs his helmet and duffel bag... and heads to the door.
STOICK: Good. Train hard. I'll be back. Probably.
HICCUP: And I'll be here. Maybe.
Stoick heads out the door, leaving Hiccup holding the axe.
Gabi glanced at Hiccup and Stoick. The former looked somewhat happy. Astrid and Toothless trying to cheer him up occasionally, and being rewarded with small smiles. Stoick, however, did not look happy. He looked absolutely livid that his own family and the village's strongest teen has decided to side with the Dragons.
Sorry if that was still too short! I wanted to leave what parts of the movie we got to in the chapters we ended it in. Hope you enjoyed what I revised. I'll be writing the next chapter now. Bye!
