Me- The grand finale. Sorry it took so long, lack of motivation and reviews tend to do that. Yet here we are. The end of the first story I've ever completed that wasn't a one-shot. Please enjoy!

Epilogue.

Haddock sat at his drawing desk, flicking a pencil absentmindedly up the desktop, letting it roll back down, and then repeating the process. There was a knock on his bedroom door. "Come in." He mumbled into his arm.

His father entered the room, a concerned look on his face. "Son," He began. "I'd like to talk to you."

Haddock turned around so he was sitting backwards on his chair. "Yeah Dad?"

He sighed and sat down on Haddock's bed. "Well son, I'm worried about you. You don't seem… happy."

Haddock looked away, casting his eyes down.

"It's the dragon, isn't it?"

Haddock said nothing. For the past few weeks, he had indeed been getting dreams documenting what Toothless and Hiccup had done during the day, but it wasn't the same. He wasn't there with them. It was like watching a movie through a hole in a piece of cardboard. He knew what was going on, but wasn't in it himself. His father began speaking again. "Now, Haddock, I've never really been good at these… talks, that was more your mother's thing, but… I want you to be happy, son." Haddock looked up. "I know it seems like I never listen… and that's probably because I'm not that good at it, and I apologize but…" He sighed, searching for the right words. "I try, and… I want you to know, even though you're… well… different." He smiled, "I'm proud to call you my son."

"Haddock felt the corners of his mouth turn up. "Thanks Dad."

He nodded, and Haddock noticed he was holding what appeared to be a brochure. "I'm sorry, I… haven't always been there… As a matter of fact, I've gone ahead and gotten you a summer job."

Haddock's heart fell. "Aw, Dad…"

"Now hear me out!" He interrupted. "It's at this historic town…"

"Not Heritage Hill?" Haddock pleaded. Heritage Hill was a local historic town that was about the time of the pioneers. Haddock had done everything in his power to stay away from there.

"No, not Heritage Hill!" His father sighed, slightly exasperated. "Just listen. I got you a job as an 'instructor.'" He explained. "You'd go there, talk to people about the subject you're assigned to teach and so forth. You'd even live there for the whole summer!"

Haddock felt ill. "Okay, Dad, but what's the place?" He braced himself for the answer. If he was working, He'd never be able to get back in time!

His father stood and shrugged. "Oh, just some rock in the middle of the ocean called Berk."

Haddock froze. He nearly gave himself whiplash when he turned to look at his dad. He was grinning and tossed the brochure on the bed. It wasn't a brochure, it was a plane ticket. "As a matter of fact, I believe everyone on that field trip has been hired; even Mr. Gob! After all, his family owns the place." He chuckled. "And as luck would have it, I'd be able to work from the mainland. So I could come with, you know, see what you've seen."

Haddock was gaping like a fish, which was slightly ironic. Then his whole face broke into a smile. "You… you did this for me?" He nearly whispered.

His father nodded. "After having a long discussion with myself, I've determined I haven't been the best father. Turns out, all I needed was a little more of…" He motioned to his son. "this."

Haddock felt his spirits lift, "But… you just gestured to all of me."

His father turned to exit the room, but paused, turned and said. "Exactly."

He walked out, but called over his shoulder. "Pack whatever you might need! We leave the second school lets out for summer vacation!"

Haddock grinned and closed his eyes. He didn't see anything, but whispered to himself- or was it himself? - "We're coming back around."

H-H

They stepped off the boat and immediately raced to the center of the village; the adults following suit. During the ride, Haddocks father had been talking to Mr. Gob about home schooling. Haddock had a feeling they'd be in Berk for a long time. They reached the center of the square, waited a second for the men to catch up, then Haddock spoke. "Cover your ears." He grinned.

They did, and Haddock let out an ear shattering whistle. No more than a few moments later did they hear the flapping of wings. The adults gaped as the dragons appeared, each coming from somewhere different, being ridden by ghostly, Viking versions of the kids. Toothless and Hiccup landed in front of Haddock, the rest did the same. "Wow, looks like we came at just the right time." Haddock mused.

Hiccup was very see-through, his foot, now prosthetic, was the only thing remotely solid. Hiccup shrugged. "By a few days, more or less. How've you been?"

As Haddock chatted with the ghost of his former self, the others were reuniting with their past selves. Snotlout walked over to Sam. "Hey, listen, if Fireworm ever wants to sleep in bed with you. Do not let her." He then walked into Sam, vanishing, who promptly followed up with "HER?"

Fishlegs and Frank were chatting about Boneater's eating habits. "So, turns out he likes rocks from the south side more than the east side. Got that?"

"Yup, south not east." Then Fishlegs walked into Frank.

The twin ghosts were to busy arguing to talk to themselves, which sounded odd, but managed to rejoin with them anyway. Astrid headed over to Amanda. "So," she began. "What do you think?" She looked over at the two boys remaining.

Amanda smiled. "I think I'll stick with him for a while." She shrugged, still grinning.

Astrid nodded. "Good choice." Then rejoined with her.

Meanwhile Haddock was finishing explaining the arrangements. "So that's that." He finished, shrugging.

"Glad to hear it. Hiccup grinned, but glanced up and looked behind Haddock.

Haddock followed his gaze, which lead straight to Haddock's father. "Dad?"

Stoic the Vast stepped out of his body. "It's been a while, Hiccup." He smiled.

Hiccup looked overjoyed. "Yeah, it has."

Stoic nodded, "We'll talk later, why don't you get some rest?"

Hiccup nodded vigorously. "Rest, right, so we can… talk and…" he sighed. "It's great to see you, Dad."

Stoic chuckled. "I know, son." He looked back at Haddock's father. "By the way, don't worry, I wasn't that good at 'talks' either." He finished by walking back into his body.

Hiccup hopped off Toothless. "Well, see you later, Bud, you be good for Haddock, okay?"

Toothless let out a sound like he understood. Hiccup, who was now dangerously see-through, turned to Haddock and grinned. "See you later."

"Yeah," Haddock mock scoffed. "In my dreams."

Hiccup laughed, and then stuck his hand out. Haddock grasped it, suddenly, a tingle went up his arm and Hiccup vanished. He looked at his hand for a moment. "Ahem."

They turned and saw Gobber's ghost standing next to Mr. Gob "Well, wha're ya wai'n fer! Go!"

The kids looked at each other, and grinned. Haddock grabbed the harness Hiccup had left strapped to the saddle and put it on. He hopped up onto the dragon who began to expand his wings, the other kids hopping onto their dragons. Haddock grinned.

This is Berk, it takes and average person around a year to explore the entire island and a freak of nature to actually do it. The sun only comes out a handful of days, and when it does it's pretty obstructed by clouds. My village, in a word? Sturdy. It's been here for several thousand years, but the history could be told for millions. The only upsides are the pets. While most places have dogs, or birds, here in Berk, we've got something even better.

"Alright, everyone ready to go?" Haddock hollered to his friends, his soul soaring.

They all gave him the affirmative. "Alright" he muttered. "Toothless… let's fly." Within seconds, they were in the air, completely and totally free.

We have… dragons!

Me- The end! Holy cow! I finished a fic that wasn't a one-shot! Now, of course, I'd like to make a companion fic, and I think I will. If you haven't reviewed, please do! I'm sorry for the typos in previous chapters; I think I had one per chapter. By the way, Heritage Hill is real, and it exists in my town, I've never been there of my own accord. By the way, this whole thing began in May, his school lets out in June. Anyway, thanks for reading, stay tuned for Toothless's part of the story!
