Title: What do you mean it's not Awesome?

Summary: Hiccup tries to make things better and Toothless isn't having any of it, but when push comes to shove, do they have what it takes to go the distance?

For the first time, Toothless was mad, actually angry with Hiccup. He'd been angry at him plenty of times, of course. Toothless had been angry at him when the boy had first come looking for him and (almost) tried to kill him. He'd been angry at Hiccup for putting himself in danger in the metal-cage thing by fighting that Monstrous Nightmare alone (What had he been thinking?). But this was different. This time, Hiccup had done something completely and irrevocably wrong.

'And he wasn't going to tell me about it!' Toothless thought, seething.

He'd had to find out for himself. Hiccup had been working nonstop on the saddle, taking it off every day to work on it at night, and putting it back on the next day so they could fly. Toothless didn't even notice that he hadn't seen it with his own two eyes until it was too late. Of course, what he had noticed was the black half-circles under Hiccup's eyes. He'd seen the boy limp when he thought no one was looking, heard the tired sighs and sleepy yawns that came with no sleep. He just didn't put two and two together until it was too late.

They'd been flying along, everything was fine, and then Toothless heard a noise. It was unlike anything else he'd ever heard, rather small, but distinct. He knew he had heard it before. And he nearly fell right out of the sky when he realized just where he'd heard it before. It was the sound of Hiccup's small (and rather endearing) snores. Hiccup had fallen asleep. Right there in the saddle. If Hiccup was asleep...

..that meant no one was controlling his fake fin!

Toothless panicked! His flying suddenly become erratic. This was impossible! He held his wings as stiff and as straight as he could, hoping a really good updraft would somehow let them glide back to land.

But nothing happened. He was still flying! But in his panic, he'd stirred Hiccup. Toothless decided to wake him before anything else could go wrong.

Slap!

Hiccup woke up. Kinda. "Toothless," He mumbled "What's wrong with you?"

/What's wrong with me? What's wrong with me?!/Toothless screeched. /I'll show you what's 'wrong with me'!/

The Furious Night Fury dove into the icy sea around Burk, and came up, spinning. Hiccup gasped at the shock of the cold water.

"Toothless, what's wrong!? I can't understand a word you're saying!" Hiccup sputtered, (/Understand this!/) but Toothless wasn't listening. Again and again, he dove into the water, until Hiccup put his foot down. Literally. Hiccup put the pedal into 'soar' position, and Toothless reacted on instinct. In no time at all, their flight evened out. But the damage was done. Neither spoke a word as they sailed back to Burk.

The moment they reached Their Lake, Toothless landed, gracelessly. Too furious to bother bending down to help Hiccup off, he swished his tail to his front to get a closer look. Small clips attached his remaining tailfin to impossibly thin metal rods to a box-like contraption strapped to his tail. The fake fin had a similar set-up that led to the same box. Toothless watched, fascinated, as the fake fin was pulled to mimic the movements of his real fin. Of course, when flying, they weren't always in the same position, but with this thing, he could…

Toothless's thoughts raced, and his blood suddenly ran cold. Hiccup leaned down in the saddle to take a look at his creation as well.

"Um, it's pretty good, huh, Toothless?" He said, a note of apology in his voice.

Suddenly, Toothless sat up. Hiccup, who'd already taken off the safety harness that attached him to Toothless (He was about to get off, theoretically.), fell to the ground, hard.

"Ow! What was that for?! That could have really hurt, you—"

/Take Off/ Toothless said. It was a demand, not a request. He spoke to Hiccup like a hatchling, to make sure he understood. Hiccup would have been offended, if Toothless hadn't looked and sounded so incredibly serious.

"Wha—" Hiccup started, but Toothless wasn't having any of it.

/Off. Now. Toothless not like the most the most./

"Why?" Hiccup asked, genuinely baffled. "This thing can let you fly on your own without m—"

/Off now, or break by Toothless/ Apparently, Hiccup was Not Allowed to finish his sentences.

"I don't understand," Hiccup said as he undid the straps that held the box-thing in place, and then unclipped it from both tailfins. Without it, just the regular mechanism was back. Toothless wouldn't be able to fly again, not without Hiccup, at least. This was not going according to Hiccup's Plan.

"I don't understand" He said again. Then he went back to his house in Burk, leaving Toothless all alone there, sulking. For the rest of the day, and the day after that, Toothless didn't leave Their Lake. He was too busy being Angry with Hiccup. But when it was clear that Hiccup wasn't coming back to apologize, Toothless decided that he would go to his human instead, to make him apologize. And maybe make him understand as well.

A/N: Forget 'the plot thickens'. How about 'the plot thins'? Despite that, I think this may be the longest chapter in this story so far. Please don't forget to review! ANY type of feedback would be appreciated, and would make me extremely happy. ^_^

Also, if you didn't get it, the slap thing was the thing that Toothless did in the movie, not an actual slap. Remember, when they were just learning how to fly, and Hiccup kept bumping them into things? And Toothless slapped him for it? That's the same slap.
