Hiccup early the next day, just as the sun was rising in the sky. He yawned and rubbed his eyes and he looked at Toothless who was still asleep. He gently started unwrapping the dragon's wings off of him. Then he slipped out of the room and out the front door.

He noticed Astrid running towards him. "Morning Astrid." He greeted.

"Hey Hiccup!" Astrid replied. "You're Dad's back! He just now arrived at the docks!"

Hiccup smiled happily. "Really? That's so great!" He said.

Stoick had been gone for quite a while and Hiccup was starting to miss him. He and Astrid headed for the docks, Hiccup suddenly tripped and fell. "Ahh!" he yelped and groaned sitting up he clutched his aching leg.

Astrid turned and looked at him "Hiccup!" she cried, And went to go help him, but Hiccup held out his hand telling her to stop.

"I wanna do this on my own." He said.

"Ok, but just be careful." Astrid said.

Then Hiccup groaned and slowly used his hands to lift himself off the ground, then he slowly began to stand up. He smiled at Astrid, who was grinning at him.

"Hiccup, you got up by yourself!" Astrid exclaimed.

Hiccup just smiled with pride. "Yeah, I guess I did."

Astrid smiled. "Guess all that practicing really paid off." She said.

Hiccup grinned. "Yeah I know." He replied.

"Come on let's go!" Astrid said.

"Hiccup!" a voice called.

Astrid and Hiccup turned to see Toothless running towards them. "Hey buddy!" Hiccup greeted him. "Sorry, I just decided to let you sleep in. I have good news! My dad's back and we were heading to go see him!"

"Oh that's good! It's about time he came back." Toothless replied.

"I know." Hiccup replied. "I can't wait to see the look on his face when he see's me walking!"

Toothless smiled at his human, then Astrid spoke. "Toothless!" She said. "You should have seen him! A while ago he tripped and fell, and I was gonna help him up but he stopped me because he wanted to get up on his own. And he actually did it!"

Toothless smiled at his rider. "I'm proud of you kiddo!" He said. "See? Didn't I tell you that you would get it right soon?"

Hiccup smiled, and he hugged his dragon happily. "And I couldn't have done it without you bud." He replied.

Toothless purred and nuzzled his rider happily and Hiccup smiled at him.

"Come on let's head down to the docks!" He said.

So the two viking's, and one night fury headed down to the docks to greet Hiccup's father in his return.

Meanwhile at the docks, the ships were being unloaded. "How's Hiccup?" Stoick asked Gobber.

"Oh he's been fine." he Gobber replied. "he's been hanging out with Toothless most of the time you were gone."

"Well I hope he's been getting himself used to that leg." said Stoick. "I never wanted him to have to go through with it."

"Well, he wouldn't have lived if we hadn't done it." Gobber said.

"I know." Stoick replied sadly.

"Dad!" A voice called.

Stoick suddenly looked to the top docks and saw Hiccup smiling down at him.

"Son!" He called.

Hiccup grinned and ran down the docks, with Toothless and Astrid following behind. Hiccup made it down to the bottom docks and ran towards his father. he stopped in front of him smiling.

"Welcome back dad." Hiccup said.

"Hiccup, you're standing! And you're running!" Stoick looking suprised. "What all did I miss while I was gone?"

Hiccup smiled. "I've been practicing. Just like you wanted." He replied. "And I couldn't have done it without Toothless."

Stoick smiled at the dragon and petted him. "Good Toothless." He said. "Thank you for watching over Hiccup."

Toothless grinned his usual gummy grin, and nuzzled Hiccup gently. The boy giggled and hugged the dragon happily.

"You're the best buddy." He said.

"That's why I'm here right?" Toothless said.

Hiccup laughed and he hugged his friend again.

"Hey Hiccup," Astrid said. "You wanna go for a flight?"

Hiccup grinned. "Sure!" He replied.

Astrid giggled happily. "Let's go get Storm Fly." She said.

Then she punched Hiccup lightly while giggling.

"Ouch! Hey!" Hiccup yelped.

Astrid just giggled and she ran down the docks. Hiccup laughed and chased after her with Toothless following close behind.

Stoick smiled watching them run off happily. "My boy is growing up." he said softly.

"Yeah" said Gobber "He is defidentally something else."

Stoick just smiled proudly, and he watched Hiccup fly away happily with Toothless, Astrid and Storm Fly following close behind. Stoick was proud of his son. And he couldn't wait to see what kind of great things he would do while growing up.

The end...
