Once inside, Gobber made Hiccup a brand new leg.
"Is he going to be okay?" Atticus asked.
"I'm sure he's going to be just fine." Patrick comforted.
Spyro nodded in agreement.
"By the way, great job on Dragon Training and keeping Toothless and Spyro protected." Patrick smiled.
"Thanks." Atticus smiled back.
They soon saw Stoick coming over.
"Still resting." Patrick told Stoick.
Stoick nodded.
"Well, I hope you learned your lesson." Patrick said.
"Yes... I'm very sorry I doubted you." Stoick said to Atticus.
"I forgive you." Atticus said.
Eventually, Hiccup woke up and smiled to the dragon. "Oh, hey, Toothless. I'm happy to see you too, buddy."
Toothless then stepped over him, but didn't mean to hurt him.
"OW! What-Uh, I'm in my house," Hiccup panicked suddenly. "You're in my house! Uh... Does my dad know you're in here?!"
Toothless was too happy to see Hiccup finally awake to answer.
"Oh, thank goodness..." Atticus smiled to Hiccup.
"Atticus?" Hiccup replied. "What's going on?"
Atticus began to tell Hiccup what happened.
"So... People like dragons then?" Hiccup asked.
"Yep, your dad also said sorry." Atticus smiled along with Spyro.
Spyro nodded in agreement.
"I knew it, I'm dead." Hiccup replied.
"Come on, let's show you." Spyro told Hiccup, going to push him out of bed.
Hiccup soon got out of bed and where he noticed that he had a different leg.
"Oh, yeah, about that, you got really lucky." Atticus said as they walked out together to meet the others.
The other vikings soon looked to see Hiccup and looked happy to see him and asked if he was feeling alright.
"He's fine, he just thought that he was dead." Atticus told them.
"Turns out all we needed was a little more of... This." Stoick told his son.
"You just gestured to all of me." Hiccup said in surprise.
"Well, most of you," Gobber said to Hiccup, gesturing to his new leg. "That bit's my handiwork. With a little 'Hiccup Flair' thrown in. You think it'll do?"
"I might make a few tweaks." Hiccup shrugged.
'Sounds promising.' Spyro thought to himself.
Astrid then punched Hiccup yet again. "That's for scaring me."
"What, is it always going to be this way? 'Cuz-" Hiccup complained before she soon kissed him and he soon forgot about the pain. "I could get used to it."
'As long as she keeps kissing him after punching him, Hiccup will be alright.' Atticus thought to himself.
"Welcome home." Gobber smiled to Hiccup.
This made Atticus, Hiccup, and even Spyro smile back, Atticus and Spyro, feeling so happy for Hiccup.
"Night Fury! Get down!" A viking commanded.
Toothless soon came over to Hiccup.
"You ready?" Hiccup asked his dragon.
Toothless nodded and soon took him for a ride. Spyro was happy that Vikings and Dragons could live in harmony now.
"This... Is Berk," Hiccup said as this was just a new beginning. "It snows nine months of the year, and hails the other three. Any food that grows here is tough and tasteless. The people that grow here are even more so. The only upsides are the pets. While other places have... Ponies or parrots, we have... Dragons!"
Toothless soon flew overhead of Atticus, Spyro, and Patrick. The three of them soon vanished.
They were soon back home and looked all around and the dragon statue's eyes seemed to fade from the red glowing.
"Hey, we're home!" Spyro smiled.
"Looks like that's what the spell wanted." Atticus said.
"That was great!" Spyro smiled. "Especially being with other dragons!"
"I thought you might like it." Patrick smiled back to him.
"This was the greatest adventure ever!" Spyro cheered.
"It was a lot of fun." Atticus chuckled and pet Spyro.
"It sure was." Spyro smiled.
Emily soon came home from grocery shopping and Patrick came to help her with the groceries, and where they soon put away the groceries.
"Hey, Mom." Atticus smiled.
"Hello, boys." Emily smiled back.
Spyro soon smiled before he saw something flying outside the window. He zipped to the window and looked over. "Can I go outside?"
"Sure, nothing going on outside anyway." Atticus told him, deciding to go with him outside to see what the excitement was all about.
They soon came outside and soon enough, a yellow dragonfly came out and flew towards them. "You must be Spyro," The yellow dragonfly smiled at the purple dragon. "I'm Sparx."
"Hi there!" Spyro replied. "I think I saw you in a dream the other night."
"Was I cool looking?" Sparx smirked.
"Oh, brother." Atticus rolled his eyes.
"Anyway, what brings you here, Sparx?" Spyro smiled to the dragonfly.
"It's time." Sparx smiled back.
"Time? Oh, boy, it's time!" Spyro beamed. "Uh... Time for what?"
"Time to go?" Atticus guessed.
"Yep." Sparx nodded.
"Time to go?" Spyro asked.
"Spyro... I'm gonna miss you... I'm sorry, but... It's time for you to go with Sparx now." Atticus told his purple dragon.
Spyro frowned before he jumped up to his adoptive father before nuzzling his cheek.
"Aw... I'm gonna miss you so much..." Atticus frowned, hugging Spyro as this was a very bittersweet feeling.
"I'll miss you too, Daddy." Spyro sniffled.
"Be good..." Atticus told him. "Have a lot of fun. I won't forget you."
"I won't forget you either," Spyro replied. "I promise."
Spyro and Sparx soon flew in the air. Atticus smiled, mostly sad as Spyro was now gone and out of his life, he sighed a little as it was sad, but good at the same time. Emily and Patrick saw the whole scene and knew that this had to be hard for their son. Atticus soon came back inside and buried his face into the couch. Patrick and Emily knew exactly what they needed to do.
"I can't believe he's gone..." Atticus said to himself. "It feels like I just got him as an egg... And now he's gone." He soon found the photo album and decided to go down memory lane.
Emily frowned as she hated to see her son like this, but she and Patrick had to put away the groceries. Atticus wiped his eyes as he looked through the photo album of getting Spyro as an egg and raising and training him for The Dragon Games, and he even smiled sadly as he looked at the photo of the first day when Spyro first learned how to fly.
"It breaks my heart seeing one of my children sad." Emily pouted.
The next photo Atticus saw was the first day Spyro talked. Tears came into Atticus's eyes while his parents put the groceries away and soon came to sit down with him as they knew he had to feel miserable. He continue to look through the photo album as the photos reminded him of everything he had been through with Spyro.
"I know it's hard, but... That's what it's all about with being a parent..." Emily said. "When it's time for your birds to leave the nest."
Patrick and Emily soon comforted him.
Atticus wiped his eyes and hugged his parents, feeling glad that they were there for him. "Do you think I'll ever see Spyro again?" he then asked them, feeling hopeful.
"I'm sure you will." Emily smiled.
"I hope so..." Atticus sighed as he hugged his book. "I guess I have a topic for my essay due Monday for Magic School." He soon went to his room and where Patch arrived in the house to see his owner going upstairs.
"Uhh...?" Patch asked.
"Spyro had to be let go." Patrick told the Dalmatian.
"Oh..." Patch frowned before following after Atticus.
Atticus soon got into his room and brought out a notebook and pen.
"We should do something nice." Patrick said.
"Yes..." Emily nodded in agreement.
"Hey, Atticus..." Patch said, coming through the door. "I'm home."
"That's great." Atticus said before opening the notebook and started on his essay.
"Oh, homework, huh?" Patch asked.
"Yes, essays due on Monday." Atticus replied.
"Whoa." Patch said.
"Where were you today?" Atticus smiled as he wrote and talked at the same time.
"I was out with my friends." Patch said.
"Aw, that sounds like fun." Atticus smiled as he wrote.
"Oh, it was pretty cool," Patch smiled back. "It's always fun to see Annette."
"And I bet it's always fun to see Colette." Atticus smirked as he wrote.
Patch smiled sheepishly about Colette.
"Did you see Scrappy?" Atticus asked.
"Not this time," Patch replied. "He had to stay home with Scooby this time."
Patch soon decided to see how Atticus's essay was.
Cherry soon finished her own essay. "All right... Essay is all done, proof read and edited... And now for the hard part..." she then said with a shaky sigh. "Reading it in front of everyone else," She soon looked saw a familiar dragon shadow flying by with a dragonfly shadow. Cherry took off her glasses and rubbed her eyes before going to her window and opening it. "Was that Spyro?" She asked as she looked outside. She began to look around before seeing Spyro flying off with Sparx, telling her one thing. "Atticus must've had to given up Spyro..." Cherry said to herself and then brought out a random gift basket. "I better drop by for a cordial visit." She soon left to go see Atticus and where she saw Mo doing the same thing.
"You saw Spyro too?" Cherry asked Mo.
"I had to let the dogs inside and Angel found something in the sky." Mo nodded.
"We better be ready to comfort him since we know how hard it must have been." Cherry said.
"Aw, Cherry, that's so sweet of you." Mo smiled.
"Don't get used to it." Cherry muttered.
The two came to the door and were allowed inside of the house.
"Atticus is in his room, doing his essay." Emily told them.
"Oh, uh, then send him these from us." Cherry said, holding out her gift basket with Mo's.
"Oh, you girls are so sweet," Emily smiled. "We'll be sure that he gets these."
"Thanks, Mrs. Fudo/Emily." Mo and Cherry replied.
"You know, you should call an adult by their title unless it's okay like in school." Mo told Cherry.
"Yeah, well, I'm family here." Cherry smirked innocently.
"Dang it." Mo groaned.
Emily glanced to Cherry.
"Oh, uh, but Mrs. Fudo is okay too." Cherry smiled sheepishly.
Emily nodded with a smirk.
"Did he cry?" Mo asked.
"Just looking at the old photo album, but I'm proud of him for being mature about what he had to do." Emily replied.
"He sure is showing a true sign of parenthood." Mo smiled.
"Oh, yes..." Emily smiled back. "It's a very hard thing to do, no matter who it is, but it's always good to let go."
"Should we go?" Cherry asked.
"I'm sorry, girls, but Atticus needs some time with family right now," Emily said. "You'll see him in school on Monday. I promise."
"Thanks." Cherry and Mo said to her before leaving.
"I'll tell him you stopped by." Emily smiled.
After a while, Atticus finished his essay.
"Done?" Patch smiled.
"Yep!" Atticus smiled back. "That wasn't so bad."
"So, what inspired you?" Patch wondered.
"Spyro..." Atticus said. "Toothless... This whole adventure."
"Toothless?" Patch asked.
"All about dragons..." Atticus replied. "I learned so much more about how to train my dragon, and now even more."
"Wow." Patch smiled.
Atticus cleared his throat and began to read his essay out loud for Patch to practice for school and to also let him hear all about it after his experience with Toothless and Hiccup. It was of course very heartfelt.
"Wow, Atticus, so powerful," Patch smiled. "I bet even Princess Celestia would love to hear about it."
"Same here." Atticus smiled back.
"Good luck with it on Monday." Patch said.
"Thanks..." Atticus said, putting his homework away for right now.
Later on, they soon smelled something cooking.
"Mm..." This made them both smile and feel hungry as they left the room and came downstairs, and where what they saw was Atticus's whole family together and the meal was his favorite.
"What're you guys doing here?" Atticus smiled.
"We just thought we'd stay in for the night." Emily smiled back as she cooked with Jessica's help.
Patch smiled back as he knew why they were all really here. Oddball soon rushed out as she was happy to see her favorite uncle.
"There's my favorite niece." Patch smiled.
"Aw, Uncle Patch..." Oddball smiled back.
"Hey, Uncle Patch." Domino smiled as he also came in.
"Aw, Domino, good to see you too!" Patch smiled back.
Seeing the whole family together brought a smile to Atticus's face.
"Also, these are for you," Emily handed gift baskets to Atticus from Cherry and Mo. "The girls came over earlier with these for you."
"That was nice of them." Atticus smiled.
"What can I say? They love ya." Emily smiled back.
"Especially Mo." Patch whispered to Domino and Oddball.
"Love? Yuck!" Domino replied.
"Then why do you have a crush on Rosebud?" Oddball smirked at Domino.
"Hey! Who told you that?!" Domino pouted as he blushed.
Patch began to whistle innocently.
"Uncle Patch!" Domino pouted.
"Hey, that's what you get for teasing your sister about liking Budderball." Patch told his nephew.
"Dang it." Domino groaned.
"Aw, you kids and your puppy love..." Patch smiled. "It's a nice feeling, isn't it?"
"Yeah..." Oddball admitted. "I thought I was dying though because I felt sick around Budderball, but once you explained it to me, I felt better."
"I felt the same way with Rosebud." Domino smiled.
Oddball and Domino soon smiled to each other.
"That's a good brother and sister." Patch smiled to both of them.
The family dinner went by without a hitch.
"Great party, guys, thank you all so much for coming." Atticus smiled to his family, feeling a lot better for right now.
"We thought a family dinner would help cheer you up." Patrick smiled back.
"Nothing's too good for our son." Emily added.
"Aw, thanks, guys." Atticus smiled to his parents.
Everyone shared a group hug and took a photo all together.
Later that night, the party winded down and it was about time to go to sleep. Everyone else who had come over to visit had soon went back to their own homes.
"What a day..." Atticus said before yawning. "Well, at least it's the weekend."
"Yeah, and everyone came," Patch said. "Though, I guess we're lucky we're not the Apple family. Their reunions are pretty huge."
"You said it." Atticus replied.
"I love seeing you happy, Atticus." Patch smiled.
They both soon went to bed. One star seemed to shine brighter than the others that night as it seemed to be a happy ending for everyone as Spyro began his new adventures with Sparx.
The End
