this is pontiac's chapter, so the praise goes to her. this gets even better...becasue the story gets stapled together.


After their playful swim, Dragon and Toothless returned to the village, soaking wet. They caught up with Hiccup at the blacksmith's shop, he was walking way better on his prosthetic foot then he had been.

"Hey, Hiccup you seem to be walking better than you have before, what'd you do different?" Dragon asked in a language known as 'the language of fabulous creatures'. She always talked in that language because it could be understood by all humans and dragons alike.

"Oh, nothing much, I just tweaked this prosthetic foot, and it seems I got it right 'cause I'm not limping." Hiccup replied.

"That's cool. Hey where's Astrid?"

"Umm, I think she might still be helping the new recruits. Have you noticed that Snotlout has been acting differently lately?"

"Yeah, something must be wrong. Hey don't sweat it, Toothless and I were just going to go visit Astrid, but I guess we could see what's up with Snotlout."

"Really, you would go see what's wrong with Snotlout?"

"Ya, I've noticed that Fireworm hasn't been around lately, he might have a connection."

"OK, you do that, and thanks. See you later."

"You're welcome, later Hiccup. Come on Toothless."

When Dragon and Toothless left the blacksmith's shop, Toothless grabbed the back of Dragon's kimono between his teeth, and with a large thrust he threw Dragon onto the saddle on his back. Dragon gave him a look like 'really Toothless?' When they arrived at the training dome Dragon slipped off Toothless' back, she let her hand drag along Toothless' neck, and head. She retracted her hand and gave Toothless a little kiss on the cheek, and they entered the training dome.

"Alright recruits, let's try this again. Pick up the ax, swing it behind your head, and with a mighty thrust throw it with all your might, just like Thor throwing one of his mighty thunder bolts. OK, and make sure you throw FORWARD and hit the target, no more BACKWARDS throws, alright?" Astrid instructed.

"Yes, Miss. Hofferson." All the recruits said at once.

"OK, now get throwing, and don't forget the war cry."

"Yes, Miss. Hofferson."

"Astrid!" Dragon called entering the ring.

"Hey, Dragon! Alright class let 'em fly!" Astrid said. She turned to face Dragon and Toothless. "Oh, my gods Dragon, you and Toothless are soaked. What happened?" She asked.

"You know this is all your fault, right?" Toothless asked a bit annoyed.

"Oh, shut up, you're the one who laughed at me." Dragon shot back.

"Uh, Dragon, don't you remember when you talk to Toothless I know what you're saying, but I don't know what your conversion is about." Astrid interrupted.

"Sorry Astrid, Toothless is just being a bum. It's really nothing." Dragon reassured her. Toothless gave Dragon a very offended look that said, 'Hey, I'm still right here'. Dragon returned it with a smug little smile. Toothless rolled his eyes.

"OK, so why are you all wet?" Astrid asked.

"Would you believe I fell in a lake?" Dragon gave her a half convincing smile.

"Oh, and let me guess Toothless jumped in to save you?" Astrid asked sarcastically.

"I know wouldn't believe me." Dragon said.

"I told you so." Toothless said giving Dragon the same smug smile. Dragon told Astrid what happened, but instead of laughing at Dragon, she laughed at Toothless' fail. Everything was interrupted when one of the recruits yelled,

"Miss Hofferson, he almost took my head off with his ax-AAAAHHHHH- HE'S GONNA KILL ME!"

"Oh, boy, here we go again. I got to go, see you later guys. WARTIHOG THAT IS ENOUGH! DON'T YOU DARE TRY TO TAKE SPEEDYFIST'S HEAD OFF, DROP THAT AX NOW!" Astrid continued to discipline her class. Dragon and Toothless just carried on, they went to go find Snotlout.

(line break)

Finally they found Snotlout; he was just standing around, tapping his foot waiting for something.

"Hey Snotlout, what are you waiting for?" Dragon asked.

"Nothing," Snotlout answered quite quickly.

"So, where's Fireworm?"

"Why do you want to know?"

"Fine if there's nothing wrong, I guess I'll go. I was just wondering, but if you say it's nothing, then it's nothing." Dragon said in a very flirty way, Toothless stayed very calm, he knew Dragon was only saying it that way to make Snotlout tell her everything, that guy always fell for that trick. Dragon put her hand under Snotlout's chin, making it more convincing,

"But are you sure there's nothing else, that's there's nothing wrong, and you don't know where Fireworm is?"

Toothless saw the look in Snotlout's eyes, it worked again, he is so gullible.

"Wait, I was lying, sorry, there is one thing," Snotlout began. Dragon winked at Toothless, she had a slight smile on her face.

"What is it Snotlout?" She asked.

"I-I-I sent Fireworm to go capture a wicked witch, and he found out where there were, so he left for London to get me one, or all of them I couldn't decide." Snotlout confessed.

"LONDON! YOU SENT FIREWORM TO LONDON! WHAT THE HELL SNOTLOUT, YOU ARE A SELF-CENTERED IDIOT!" Dragon then slapped him. Dragon and Toothless ran as fast as they could, they HAD to tell Hiccup what Snotlout had done.
