HELLO ALL YOU PEOPLE WHO ARE AWESOMER THAN I. I bring you my SECOND update today! :D My g-mail won't let me see all the awesome reviews you left, so next chapter I'll have to make-up for all the shout-outs. :D See ya! My new motto: Follow your dreams...ON DRAGONBACK. :D

"Is he dead?" Tuffnut asked as he and his sister stood over Hiccup's unmoving form.

"I don't know," said Ruffnut, nudging Hiccup with her foot.

"You killed him!" Tuffnut blamed.

"DON'T. PANIC!" said Ruffnut. "Okay, I need a tube of glue, two Terrible Terrors, seven charcoals, and a cup of Yaknog."

"I'll check my pockets," said Tuffnut.

"This is a dangerous procedure..." said Ruffnut.

"No...no procedure..." Hiccup muttered, sitting up and putting a hand to his forehead.

"Darn, I like the procedure," said Ruffnut, snapping her fingers. "You okay?"

"Fine," said Hiccup, although he was lying through his teeth. He felt like he had been rammed into by a Gronckle. "What happened?"

"We fell through the ceiling," said Tuffnut. "Look."

Hiccup looked directly over him, and saw exactly what it was that Tuffnut was speaking of. A large, gaping hole about twenty feet up made itself known to the three dragon riders with the wind howling through it. Hiccup saw swirling ice and snowflakes outside the hole. Even if they could get out that way, the blizzard was still going strong.
"Where are the dragons?" Hiccup asked, getting to his feet.

"We were separated from them," said Ruffnut. "I think the dragons are okay, though. They can withstand this kind of weather without too much of a problem."

Hiccup nodded, although inside, he was panicking. What if the dragons weren't alright? What if they were in a situation that was even worse than his and the twins'?

"So...you two are okay then, right?" said Hiccup.

"Oh, us?" said Tuffnut.

"Fine," said Ruffnut. "We're always hitting our heads. No problem. We're used to it by now."

"Well, I'm glad someone is," said Hiccup, rubbing his forehead. "I guess we should probably start looking for a way out. The blizzard shouldn't be going for too much longer. They never last long on Berk. Besides, it's only winter. Devastating Winter isn't due for another month or so."

"That's the most encouraging thing you've said since we got stuck down here," said Tuffnut. "Actually, it's one of the only things you've said at all."

"Come on," said Hiccup. "Let's see if we can't find a way to get out of this mess." He started walking, Ruffnut and Tuffnut following him.

He found a tunnel made entirely out of ice; it was rather dark, so he watched his step, unable to see much of the area ahead of him.

Behind him, Ruffnut and Tuffnut were playing a guessing game.

"Okay, Hiccup, this is for you to answer," said Tuffnut. "Okay, I'm thinking of something...short. And...auburn hair-"
"It's me," Hiccup interrupted, not even turning around or stopping.

"Okay Mr. Smart Boy," said Tuffnut. "Try guessing this one. I'm thinking of something with auburn hair, emerald eyes-"

"It's me," said Hiccup.

"That's just not fair," said Tuffnut. "Okay, this time for sure. I'm thinking of something short, auburn hair, that rides a Night Fur-"

"It's me," said Hiccup. "And this next one's just a guess; me."

"How does he do that?" said Ruffnut.

"Guys, please be serious," said Hiccup. "If we can't find a way out, we're going to be stuck here for a long time."

...

Astrid, Snotlout and Fishlegs made it back to the Great Hall without much of a problem at all. Stoick greeted them both, looking behind them, expecting to see someone else.

"Where's Hiccup?" he asked. "And Ruffnut and Tuffnut?"

"Hiccup went after the twins after they flew off," said Astrid. "They'll be back any minute."

"We can't wait for them much longer, Stoick," said Gobber, making his presence known as he walked up to them. "The blizzard is almost here, and once it hits, it's not going to hold anything back. And it most certainly won't wait for Hiccup and the twins to get back here."

Stoick sighed. "Thank you, Gobber," he said.

"Always here to help," said Gobber, either not noticing the fact that Stoick was using sarcasm, or using his own sarcastic humor to answer him.

"Besides," said Snotlout, "nothing can hurt them just so long as they have their dragons with them. I mean, Chief, they're dragons!"

As if on cue, they heard the screeches of two dragons. Looking in that direction, they saw the twins' Zippleback flying towards them, Toothless running as fast as he could.

"See?" said Snotlout. "Nothing to worry about."

But when the dragons stopped in front of the Great Hall, neither of them had riders. Hiccup, Ruffnut and Tuffnut were gone.

"You were saying, Snotlout?" Astrid growled.

"Oh no," said Fishlegs. "If the dragons are here, and Hiccup and the twins aren't with them, then that means they're out in the blizzard. And if they're out in the blizzard without their dragons-!"

"Enough!" said Stoick. "Hiccup is a smart kid. He knows what to do in a snowstorm."

"But he's stuck with Ruffnut and Tuffnut, if he found them at all!" said Astrid. "We have to go look for them!"

"We cannot," said Stoick.

"But we can't just leave them out there all night until the storm passes!" said Astrid. "They could freeze to death!"

"We can't ride dragons in this storm, Astrid," said Stoick. His fatherly instincts were screaming at him to just hang his hands, mount his dragon and go out in search of his son, but of course, common sense won over. If he went out, the chance that they would actually find Hiccup and the twins was small, and the chance of getting himself stuck in the blizzard was even more likely.

"Then what do we do?" said Astrid.

"Get inside the Great Hall," said Stoick. "I'll wait out here as long as I can. Take the dragons in with you."

"Okay," said Astrid. "C'mon, Toothless, Barf and Belch." Barf and Belch strode inside the doors without another word, but Toothless didn't budge, staring out into the blizzard with sad eyes.

"Toothless, we have to go," said Astrid. Toothless still didn't move.

"He's as stubborn as his rider," said Stoick. "He can wait out here with me for now."

"Okay," said Astrid. She didn't want to go; she wanted to stay out and wait as well, but there would have been no point. So, with a heavy heart, she walked into the Great Hall.

Please make it back safely, she silently pleaded.
