Chapter 2

As the ships slowly disappeared off into the horizon for the meeting, the teens stood and watched from the edge of the academy. Well, technically half, as Hiccup was nowhere to be found and the twins had gotten into yet another brawl over their stuffed yak down near the pens. As soon as the long boats' sails were no longer visible, Astrid noticed a smug grin on Snotlout's face.

"Why are you so happy?" Astrid questioned Snotlout's expression.

"Isn't it obvious?" Snotlout replied, "Chief Stoick and Gobber are on a mission; no one's here to boss us around. We can do whatever we want!" Snotlout announced waving his hands up into the air before placing them on his thighs. Upon hearing Snotlout's shout, the twins walked over to where their friends were.

"Wait, there's no one in charge?" Tuff said right before he and his sister shared a look.

"Yeah!" They shouted in unison, head-butting each other before Ruff continued their thought, "Without any adults, there's no limit to our destruction."

"You guys really think Stoick would leave without having someone in charge of Berk?"Astrid retorted.

"Who's he gonna choose?" Snotlout countered.

"Guess who has to look after the entire village while my dad's gone?" Hiccup exasperatedly sighed as he rode in on Toothless and landed behind Snotlout.

"Are you SERIOUS!" Snotlout yelled, and turned away from Hiccup. Hiccup looked at him a bit confused, but not surprised.

"Wait, what?" Astrid exclaimed as her and the others, minus Snotlout, who proceeded to walk off in anger.

"Why did your dad leave it to you... not that there's anything wrong with it." Fishlegs asked politely. Snotlout snorted off in the distance as he heard Fishlegs' statement.

Hiccup sighed, "He said it would be good training for when I become chief."

"Well, I can see the logic in that. It's common practice for the chief to..." Fishlegs cut himself off as Astrid gave him the 'not helping in any way' glare. "I'll be quiet now."

"Well, surely he didn't just leave you in charge of the whole village, right?" Astrid questioned.

"Unless of course you wanna help, I'm doomed." Hiccup rubbed his face in frustration.

"Of course we'll help you, Hiccup." Astrid assured him, "Right guys?" She said through clenched teeth at the other teens that were ignoring the situation.

"O-Oh, of course." Fishlegs replied, slightly terrified by Astrid.

"I guess we could help," Ruff replied, smacking her brother in the back of the head so he would followed up with it.

"As long as we can destroy stuff." he compromised.

"Well count me out!" Snotlout crossed his arms over his chest and stomped his foot down on the stony platform.

"Oh, come on, Snotlout," Astrid placed her hands on her hips.

"Why should I have to help him?" Snotlout glared at him, "What do I get out of it?"

"The satisfaction of helping your cousin and future chief." Astrid countered.

Snotlout looked at her sternly, "And...?"

"...And you can boss people around, act like a REAL leader." Astrid replied frustrated.

Snotlout smiled and climbed onto Hookfang, "Now that I can do. Oh, and by the way Astrid, why would I need to act when I'm a natural born leader," He said before flex his "muscles".

"Urgh," Astrid groaned and rolled her eyes at Snotlout's ego before turning back to Hiccup.

"So, how do we get started? Your dad did leave you with instructions, right?"

"Nope," Hiccup sighed yet again.

"Then we make our own instructions," Astrid walked over to the chalk board they used for training and scribbled a rough outline of the village, dividing it into three equal parts.

"If we divide the village into three 'districts', we can have groups of two to deal with the problems in each area," She then proceeded to point out each district and the teens in charge, "Left 'District' will be left to Snotlout and Tuffnut; Plaza 'District', Hiccup and I, and Right 'District'will belong to Ruffnut and Fishlegs."

Wait, why am I stuck with Fishface? No offence, Fishlegs." Ruffnut gave him a reassuring pat on the back.

"None taken." Fishlegs replied.

"Yeah, and why am I stuck with Snotbrains? Trying to be offensive, Snotlout." Tuff giggled.

"Because," Astrid retorted, "leaving you two in charge of the village together is about as safe as leaving a Monstrous Nightmare in a room full of Zippleback gas."

"And more importantly," Snotlout questioned, "Why are you helping Hiccup when you know it's better for lovers to work together." He puckered his lips and leaned in for a kiss.

"Gross!" Astrid backed away before smacking him upside the head.

"Ouch!"

"Okay, now that we've sorted out all of the who and where it's time we discuss the what and why. Has there been any complaints or demands yet?" Astrid questioned.

"None yet, but then again, I haven't seen many of the villagers," Hiccup replied, "I'll most likely be swamped with them at lunch."

"Oooh, speaking of which," Fishlegs added in, "I could really go for some lunch right about now." Right after saying this, his stomach growled.

"Woah, it sounds like you have a Terror in there." Tuffnut stated.

"Alright, we'll head over to the Great Hall." Hiccup announced. Fishlegs and the other's hopped onto their dragons and soared with Hiccup down the hillside to the Great Hall.

As the teens left the arena, they more than failed to notice the dragon perched on the high mountain ledge above them. I t continued watching them until they were out of sight, to which it then slowly crawled down the edge to get a better view of the village not too far away.

As it continued watching, it noticed the large amounts of meat, fish, fruits and vegetables, food as far as the eye could see. And wood, so much wood. A bounty of warm coziness and comfortable living mere yards away from where it was now.

With this new heaven in its sights, the dragon slowly crept back up the ledge to rejoin its brethren. It's queen would be immensely pleased by her new-found kingdom.
