Chapter 4: The Terrible Twos

It was a sunny day on Berk and the riders train their dragons with their flying skills and Hicca leads them, only today she decide to give Toothless and Bones the day off to do male dragon things so she was riding Serpentina today for a little girl bonding time.

"Follow me." Hicca says flying Serpentina over a small mountain with the other riders flying over a second later. "Low-level evasive maneuvers. Come on, girl." She says.

"You got it, Hicca. I've been wanting to have some girl time." Serpentina says to her rider.

"So have I." Hicca says smiling at her Grapple Grounder.

'When you're riding a dragon, communication is key. You almost have to read each other's minds. Or else.'

"Hey! What are you doing?!" Snotlout asks as Hookfang makes a sudden left turn and slams the girl into branches. "Are you trying to kill me?!" She asks.

"Maybe." Hookfang says jokingly.

"We gotta go back! I think you missed a branch!" Snotlout says and Hookfang flies downward slamming Snotlout into more branches. "Got it!" She says.

'And you have to have an open mind, because sometimes, your dragon knows better than you.'

"Stormfly, up!" Asher says but Stormfly notices something ahead.

"No it's down." Stormfly says and

"You were right, Stormfly. It was down. I almost died." Asher says.

"Almost died? I would've died! Blech." Snotlout says flying next to him while picking branches out of her hair and off her face.

"That's a good look for you." Asher says making Snotlout put the branches back.

"Has anyone seen Fishlegs?" Hicca asks.

"I saw her yesterday. Does that count?" Ruffnut asks flying on Barf and Belch with her brother.

Hicca shakes her head and turns Serpentina around and searches for the missing rider and dragon. It doesn't take long because Hicca spots Meatlug in a tree and sees Fishlegs stuck between two tree limbs going upward.

"Oh, there you are, Fishlegs. Are you okay?" Hicca asks sliding off Serpentina.

"I'm fine. Just hanging out. It's not like I crashed or anything. Okay, I crashed. There, I said it." Fishlegs says as Hicca tries to pull the girl down but accidentally puts her pants down instead.

"Oops." Hicca says looking away.

"And there goes my dignity." Fishlegs says blushing madly as Hicca tries pulling Fishlegs by her boot but can't get her free because of her husky arms.

"Yeah, you're pretty stuck. I think I know how to get you down, uh, but you have to stay perfectly still." Hicca says

"Why? What are you going to do?" Fishlegs asks nervously.

"Careful, girl, she's not wearing any pants." Hicca says to her dragon.

"At least it's a big target." Serpentina says making Hicca giggle.

"Huh? Wait a second. What does my lack of pants have to do-oh!" Fishlegs yells after being hit in the rear by a pulse blast from Serpentina. "Thank you." She says after being caught by the Grapple Grounder. "Um, I believe those are mine." She says as Hicca tosses the girl her pants and looks away so she can put them on.

"Now, what are we going to do about Meat…Lug?" Hicca asks as Meatlug comes crashing down from the tree branches.

"Can you not tell the others Meatlug broke the trees? She's sensitive about her weight." Fishlegs says.

"I am not. I eat rocks for dragons' sake." Meatlug says but Fishlegs couldn't understand her.

"How did this happen?" Hicca asks.

"I don't know! I was just flying along, taking notes on the flora and fauna-typical girl stuff-then something weird jumped out of the bushes. It was like a…like a flaming squirrel." Fishlegs says.

"Really? A flaming squirrel?" Hicca asks crossing her arms over her generous sized breasts.

"Or a chipmunk." Fishlegs says but Hicca just shakes her head. "Or some other flammable rodent. I don't know Hicca, it scared us. Isn't that enough for you?" She asks as she climbs onto Meatlug and they take off.

"Did you hear that? A flaming squirrel. Everyone knows there's no such thing as a…" Hicca says climbing back onto Serpentina and takes off but then something small, flaming, and fast flies in front of them. "FLAMING SQUIRREL! Whoa! You saw that, right?" She asks.

"You bet. It almost took my nose off." Serpentina says.

The two females look over the log and spot a small orange colored dragon with a gray head inside a small opening of rocks. Hicca then walks over to it to get a better look.

"Hey, little guy. Who are you?" Hicca asks sticking her right hand out to the little dragon but he tries to take a bite out of it. "Whoa, settle down, big fella! I've never seen anything like him." She says.

"Neither have I and I've seen tons of dragons before I met you." Serpentina says.

"Really, you've never seen anything like him?" Hicca asks and Serpentina shakes her head. " Well then, you know, I think we may have discovered a new species here! Whoa, hey, looks like he's hurt! Don't be afraid, I'm a friend. Here you go." She says reaching into her jacket and pulls out some Dragon Nip. "It's okay. It's just a little Dragon Nip." She says handing the dragon the grass for it to sniff which it accepts happily.

"Aww! You are so cute." Hicca says picking up the dragon and rubs it's head with her right hand. "AHH! Little dragon, big claws!" She shouts in pain.

"Sorry." The little dragon says in a male voice.

"It's okay. Come on, let's go. We'll fix you right up." Hicca says.

"Really? Thanks." The dragon says.

"You're welcome." Hicca says.

"Wait you can understand what I just said?" The dragon asks after realize he's been having a talk with the girl.

"Yep, any dragon I touch with my right hand I can hear their voices clearly as if I spoke their language." Hicca says cradling the small dragon.

"That's really cool." The dragon says.

"Indeed it is little one. My name is Serpentina. And this is my rider, Hicca." Serpentina says.

"Nice to me you." The dragon says as Hicca climbs onto Serpentina's saddle and takes off for the Dragons Academy.


At the Dragon Academy, Hicca shows the new dragon to the other teens and their dragons as well as her own.

"This is so exciting! It's a whole new species!" Fishlegs says in a high voice.

"Doesn't look like a flaming squirrel to me." Tuffnut says looking down at the small dragon.

"We have no idea what it's capable of! There's no telling what it might do." Fishlegs says.

"Flame. Do it." Tuffnut says getting in the dragon's face.

"Get out of my face!" The dragon says as he jumps at Tuffnut biting his nose.

"AH! Get it off! Get it off! Get it off!" Tuffnut yells in pain making Ruffnut laugh but then the dragon jumps at her doing the same thing he did to Tuffnut. "Oh, that is funny." Tuffnut says.

"Come on, you guys, this is serious! We have to figure out what to do with him. He's hurt!" Hicca says

"He's hurt?" Tuffnut asks.

"He's just really scared. He'll settle down." Hicca says picking the dragon up setting him on her shoulders.

"Um, new species, remember? We actually don't know what he'll do." Fishlegs says.

"Well, technically only Hicca will know what he'll do since she's the only one who can understand him. But somebody's got to take him home." Asher says and everyone takes a step back

"You know you all didn't have to do that. I was going to taking him with me anyway. Well, cutie, looks like you're coming home with me and my dragons." Hicca says.

"Yay!" The dragon says.

Bones and Serpentina were excited to spent more time with the new dragon, Toothless however was as excited as his siblings.

"I thought I was the cute one." Toothless says.

"Awe, is someone a little jealous that he's being replaced as the favorite?" Bones asks in a baby voice.

"I am not jealous." Toothless says.

"Sure you aren't." Serpentina says giggling.


Later that evening Hicca entered her house with Toothless and the new dragon while Bones and Serpentina return to their custom stables house for the night.

"No, no, no. He's not staying here. I already said you can have as many dragons as you want but I've got a one-dragon limit on this house." Stoick says.

"Oh, come on, he's not a very big dragon! Think of him more like a flaming squirrel." Hicca says with the dragon on her shoulders.

"Don't want one of those either. Toothless, what are you waiting for?" Stoick says tossing a pile of wood into the fireplace to start a fire.

"Fine." Toothless says and was about to ignite the wood but the small dragon beat him to it making the Night Fury and Chief look at the dragon.

"Ah, looks like you torched." Stoick says.

"Whatever." Toothless says grumbling.

"Oh, that's his name, by the way: Torch." Stoick says walking up to his daughter and the dragon.

"So, he can stay?" Hicca asks hopefully.

"Well, can't throw him out now, I just named him." Stoick says while Hicca picks up the newly named dragon.

"Well Torch, how do you like your new name?" Hicca asks.

"I like it a lot." Torch says to the girl.


Later Hicca was in her dragon stable bring each of her dragons and Torch their dinner.

Okay, a hundred for you Toothless, two hundred for Bones, seventy-five for Serpentina, and one for you Torch. There you go, everyone, your first supper together."

"Thank you for the meal, Hicca." Bones says.

"Yes thank you very much." Serpentina says after her brother.

Bones and Serpentina were happily eating their fish while Toothless drooled at the sight of his while he watches Hicca walk away to put up the baskets unaware that Torch was eating his food and by the time he looked down his whole basket was empty.

"What the…?!" Toothless yells in shock and looks at Torch to see him eating his one fish Hicca gave him. "You little menace." He says and roars to the dragon scaring him up into the support beams of the building.

"Whoa, Toothless! You're sure hungry tonight, aren't you, sweetie?" Hicca asks picking up his empty basket.

"But, I didn't…" Toothless stutters and then growls at Torch.


Later Hicca, Toothless, and Torch were in her room getting ready to sleep as Hicca places a small rock slab at the foot of her bed.

"Okay, Torch. This is where you're gonna sleep." Hicca says patting the rock slab.

"Hmm, it's too small." Torch says looking around and spots Toothless' bed and climbs onto it. "Oh, nice." He says laying down.

"Hey. This is my bed." Toothless says and grabs Torch by his tail and throws him downstairs. "Ha that'll show that little…what the hell?" He says seeing Torch was back on his bed by the time he turned around.

"That was fun. Let's play again." Torch says excitedly.

"Aw, look at that. He's made himself at home. Toothless, you don't mind sharing your bed for the night, do you?" Hicca asks.

"Yes I do. It's my bed." Toothless yells jumping onto the large window ledge.

"Come on it's just for tonight. Hope he sleeps through the night. He hardly ate." Hicca says looking at the now sleeping Torch.

"Oh he ate plenty." Toothless says growling.

"Okay that's enough out of you. It's late and we could all use some sleep." Hicca says blowing out the candle on her night stand.

"Hmph. Whatever, I'm going to sleep on the roof balcony." Toothless says jumping out the window making Hicca sigh as she drifts off to sleep.

Later that night deep in the forest were Hicca and Serpentina found Torch, a large dragon of the same species as Torch, only much bigger, sniffs the rocks and discovers Torch is missing. Furious, the dragon bursts fire and roars loudly, which Toothless hears.

"That roar, it sounds familiar." Toothless says and looks into Hicca's room from the roof balcony spotting Torch. "No…he can't be a…" He says before running to the edge of the hill and watches the catastrophe happening in the forest. "This is bad but no matter what is happening out there, I won't let it come anywhere near Hicca." He says in determination.


The next day Hicca brought Torch back to the Dragon Academy where all the dragon riders and their dragons were waiting.

"Alright, Torch. Let's figure out what you are." Hicca says setting Torch on the table in the arena.

"Oh! This is so exciting! Documenting a whole new species…learning all about it!" Fishlegs says.

"Wait, learning?" Tuffnut asks.

"No thanks." Ruffnut says.

"Ruff." Hicca says to her best friend.

"Sorry, Hicca." Ruffnut says.

"There's nothing in the Book of Dragons that looks anything like him." Hicca says turning through the pages of the book in her hands.

"We even get to determine what it's called. Heh. That is…that is a really big responsibility. I don't know if I'm ready for that." Fishlegs says almost hyperventilating.

"I am! I'm gonna name the snot out of it!" Snotlout shouts.

"Twenty inches for the wings." Asher says measuring Torch's wings.

"That's a big wingspan." Hicca says writing down the measurements in the Book of Dragons.

""Big Wing"! "Big Span"? "Big Wingspan"!" Snotlout says blurting out random names.

"May I have the honor of administering the claw-test?" Fishlegs ask and holds out a sheet of paper in front of Torch.

"Take this, and this, and this." Torch says slicing through the paper three times with ease.

"Look at these talons…They're razor-like." Fishlegs says examining Torch's talons.

""Sharp-Claw"! "Razor-Feet"! "Razor Sharp Claw Talon Feet"!" Snotlout yells continuing to randomly shout names.

"Hold on. Is she serious?" Tuffnut asks.

"You know what's next, don't you?" Fishlegs asks Hicca.

"No. Not really." Hicca says.

"Only the single most important test to determine a dragon's reaction to eels…the Eel-Reaction-Test!" Fishlegs says and reaches into a basket and grabs an eel.

Fishlegs then holds it up scaring all the dragons into backing up or flying away. She then holds it up to Torch who sniffs the serpent.

"Oh, smells interesting. Wonder what it tastes like." Torch says and eats the eel, slurping it into his mouth.

"He ate it! He ate the eel!" Fishlegs shouts in shock.

""Eel Eater"! Come on, that's perfect." Snotlout says.

"Fishlegs, has there ever been a Dragon who wasn't afraid of-" Hicca begins to ask.

"Never in recorded history. We're in uncharted waters, my friend." Fishlegs says.

"You hear that, Torch? You're one of a kind. Just like my dragons." Hicca says.

"Cool." Torch says.

"Now we need to get him to fly." Fishlegs says.

"Maybe if Torch saw Toothless fly." Hicca says before looking up to see her main dragon standing at the cliff edge like he was on guard. "Toothless! Let's take a ride, sweetie." She shouts but Toothless doesn't budge. "Toothless!" She shouts again but he still doesn't budge.

"Amazing. Hicca calls him and he doesn't move. He always comes when she calls." Bones says looking at his brother.

"Unbelievable. Just because he's jealous doesn't mean he should ignore Hicca. That's just rude, dear brother!" Serpentina shouts to her brother.

"Ha, ha, ha! So much for the dragon trainer. We've got this!" Snotlout says as she mounts Hookfang. "Watch and learn!" She yells as Hookfang takes off at a break-neck speed. "HOOOOKFANG!" She screams as she holds onto her dragon's horns for dear life as he spins and then freefalls in the air narrowly missing Toothless, who doesn't flinch, and afterwards returns to the Dragon Academy with a panting Snotlout on his back. "Okay, your turn. Don't think you have to live up to that." She says as they all watch Torch hop off the table and walks around in a circle.

"What's he doing?" Ruffnut asks.

"I think something's wrong." Asher says.

"Aw man, we broke him!" Tuffnut says.

"Maybe he can't fly." Hicca says.

Torch then starts sparking before taking off into the air and flies fast around the arena.

"You…are one incredible little dragon!" Hicca says holding Torch in her hands.

"I'll say. Incredible speed." Bones says.

"And what a beautiful performance." Serpentina says.

Toothless still standing guard hears what Hicca says and looks glum.

'I thought I was the amazing one.' Toothless thought feeling a little sad.

"Whoa…Look at that burn mark!" Ruffnut says staring at the swirl burn mark on the arena floor.

"Look at this burn mark." Tuffnut says holding up his smoking arm.

"Did you see how he flew? He spun like…like a typhoon!" Fishlegs says in amazement.

"And he came back just like a boomerang!" Asher says in amazement as well.

""Hot-Spinner." "Flaming Come-Backer."" Snotlout says.

"No. "Typhoomerang."." Fishlegs says dramatically.

""Typhoomerang"? Nah, I don't get it." Snotlout says.


Later that night at Hicca's house, Toothless is seen guarding the house from the roof and on lookout for the dragon that awoke him last night. Meanwhile, inside Hicca tries to draw Torch for his species to be on the Book of Dragons, while Torch plays with Hicca's helmet.

"Okay, Torch. Hold still." Hicca says to him. "I'm trying to draw you. You're getting your own chapter." She says continuing to draw the little draw but takes a little break and looks at Torch. "Rowr!" She growls and so does Torch. "Rowr! Rowr!" She growls two more times and Torch does too. "Rowr! Rowr! Rowr!" She continues to play the game with Torch while Toothless scoffs but then hears the same roar from last night and sees another fire in the forest.

"Oh no. I've gotta tell Hicca." Toothless says and jumps in through the window and runs up to his rider scaring her a bit causing her to drop her charcoal pencil making the charcoal shatter on the floor.

"Toothless! Look what you did!" Hicca says sadly.

"Oh sorry but listen…" Toothless tries to say.

"And now I've got to get more charcoal. Toothless, you behave yourself while I'm gone." Hicca says and walks down stairs.

"But Hicca…" Toothless tries to explain again.

"Smooth." Torch teases.

"Shut it, you little pest." Toothless growls scaring Torch over to Hicca.

"Hey, it's okay, big guy. I'll be right back." Hicca says and continues down the steps.

Torch looks back at Toothless who was still growling but then looks out the window hearing another roar and accidentally whacks Torch.

"Hey! You big bully." Torch says and bites Toothless' tail causing him to roar in pain.

"OW! Why you little…! Come here!" Toothless shout and begins chasing the Typhoomerang.

"Get away!" Torch yells and fires a fireball at the Night Fury setting the floor in front of his bed on fire.

"Toothless!" Hicca yells and quickly uses her blanket to put out the flames while Torch jumps into her arms. "What-What is going on here?" She asks.

"He hurt me and tried to hit me with his plasma blast." Torch says putting the blame on him.

"Toothless, why did you do this? What is wrong with you?" Hicca asks believing the little dragon.

"I didn't do anything! That little pest bit me! And set the floor on fire!" Toothless yells and jumps out the window.

"Toothless! Wait!" Hicca cries out to her dragon before looking down at Torch. "Torch what really happened?" She asks.

"Okay so after you left he hit me with his tail so I kinda bit him on his tail and then he began chasing me so I blasted a fireball at him." Torch says looking down.

"Torch that wasn't very nice. You made me yell at my most loyal, favorite dragon, and my best friend." Hicca says tearing up.

"I'm sorry." Torch apologizes.

"It's okay but I want you to apologize for biting Toothless tomorrow, okay?" Hicca asks.

"Okay." Torch says.


Toothless decides to search for the dragon and races to where he saw the bright light occurring here.

'I need to find out what's going on in the forest.' Toothless thought as he ran through the forest and jumps from tree to tree before clinging to a tree when he spots two little Typhoomerangs a few yards in front of him. 'Oh great more Typhoomerangs.' He grumbles in his mind.

A second later a wild boar chases after the two little Typhoomerangs who scamper off to a larger Typhoomerang scaring the boar into retreating.

'Wait that one's also a Typhoomerang. Then those two must be…' Toothless says in his head.

As punishment for the wild boar's actions, the larger Typhoomerang surrounds it in a wall of fire, making it grow more by spinning faster and faster until the boar gets caught in the flames. Toothless looks on as the boar vanishes in the blaze, his fears confirmed.

'A dragon only acts like this when it's protecting its own. That large Typhoomerang is a mother making those two little Typhoomerangs her babies.' Toothless thought and then realizes something. 'Wait Torch is also their size…which makes him a baby as well! Uh no!' He thought in horror.


The next day, Hicca, Bones, Serpentina, and Torch were in the blacksmith shop with Gobber as he pounds away on one of his tools.

"It's weird. It's like Toothless is jealous. Which is great, so my first boyfriend is a dragon." Hicca says.

"Another thing we have in common. Something must be going on under the surface. Dragons are complex creatures, Hicca. They operate on many emotional levels. Me? I've only got the one." Gobber says.

"That true we are complex." Serpentina says making Hicca smile as she holds Torch in her arms when Toothless suddenly runs up roaring.

"Whoa, okay, Toothless." Hicca says to her Night Fury.

"Forest…baby…boar…mother…fire…" Toothless says out of breath from all the running.

"What's he saying?" Gobber asks.

"No idea. I can't understand what he's saying. But you see? This is what I've been talking about." Hicca says as Toothless roars again.

"Bro, calm down. What are you trying to say?" Bones asks.

"Seriously, this whole jealousy thing is getting out of hand." Serpentina says.

"I…am…not…jealous." Toothless says to his siblings.

"Please, Toothless, settle down." Hicca pleads as Torch jumps out of her arms and lands in front of Toothless.

"I'm taking you home." Toothless says picking Torch up by Torch's neck and tries to run off.

"Gobber, grab him!" Hicca yells.

"You want to dance, big boy? 'Cause I've got my dancing shoe on!" Gobber says jumping in front of the Night Fury while tapping his foot but Torch slips out of Toothless' mouth and flies off.

"Hey! Get back here!" Toothless shouts chasing after the baby Typhoomerang.

"Gotcha! Whoa!" Gobber shouts grabbing Toothless' tail but is unable to hold him in place as Toothless continues chasing after Torch dragging Gobber through the blacksmith shop and into one of the work benches.

"My panpipes! Now I can get the band back together!" Gobber says picking up the

"Toothless! BACK! DOWN!" Hicca commands firmly staring her main dragon in the eyes.

The tension was so thick that Bones and Serpentina dared not interfere, however Gobber began playing his

"Not. Helping." Hicca whispers to her teacher.

"Sorry." Gobber says stopping the music.

"I don't know what's gotten into you, but I don't like it." Hicca says firmly to her Night Fury.

"Fine!" Toothless shouts and leaves as Gobber resumes playing the ridiculous music making Hicca groan.

"What?" Gobber asks still holding his panpipes.


Later, Hicca is riding Toothless, who doesn't obey his Rider's wishes to where to go and tries to take her instead to the place where the large mother Typhoomerang was last seen.

"Whoa! WHOA!" Hicca yells unable to control her main dragon.

'Almost there and she'll finally see.' Toothless thought flying as fast as he could to the last place he saw Torch's mother.

"Toothless! The cove is this way! Where are you going?! No! You're going to the cove!" Hicca yells clicking the pedals on Toothless' prosthetic tail causing his flight pattern to be redirected.

'Damn it! Why didn't I keep that automatic prosthetic tail she made me at Snoggletog?' Toothless thought as Hicca redirects him to the cove where they first bonded.

"Okay. You've gotta stay here. I never thought bringing Torch home would lead to this. I've gotta separate you two until I can figure this out." Hicca says and walks away.

"Hicca, listen." Toothless says.

"No, Toothless…This is serious. You've got to stay here." Hicca says.

"No I won't let you go." Toothless says blocking the way out of the cove on foot.

"Okay. A crazy, out-of-control dragon, blocking my way out." Hicca says but looks up to see something Toothless doesn't. "Or not!" She says as she jumps up and grabs Bones' tail as he swings her onto his saddle.

"Hicca!" Toothless shouts.

"I'm sorry, sweetie, but until further notice you're grounded and are to stay here." Hicca says tearing up a little.

"Sorry, brother." Bones says and flies away.


Later at night, Hicca is having trouble sleeping, worried about Toothless while Torch is seen sleeping comfortably on Toothless' bed. At the cove, Toothless is also awake, but he hears something big and checks it out, it turns out to be Torch's mother heading her way to Berk crushing everything that stands in her way, Toothless tries to follow it but is unable to climb out no matter how hard he tries and roars loudly to persuade the beast but fails, and the huge female Typhoomerang continues to make its way through the forest.


The next day Hicca is sitting on the floor with Torch in her lap while Bones and Serpentina were laying beside her with Asher, Snotlout, and Fishlegs on their dragons behind her.

"You did the right thing with Toothless. He'll snap out of it." Asher says to his crush.

"Yeah, but what if he doesn't. Then you won't have a dragon to ride, and if you don't have a Dragon to ride then you can't be the leader of the Dragon Academy! HA!" Snotlout taunts forgetting about Hicca's Boneknapper and Grapple Grounder.

"Yeah, then I'd take over. Do you really want that?" Asher asks while smirking.

"You guys would not believe what we just saw." Tuffnut says entering the Dragon Academy with his sister on Barf and Belch.

"Excuse me; we're having a power struggle." Snotlout says.

"We're not having a power struggle. Even if Toothless doesn't snap out of it. I still have Bones and Serpentina by my side." Hicca says.

"That's right." Bones and Serpentina say together.

"The whole forest; ultimate destruction." Tuffnut says with a smile on his face.

"It was beautiful. The whole thing was torched." Ruffnut says smiling as well.

"Torched?" Hicca questions looking down at Torch before starting to piece together what Toothless might have been trying to tell her. "Show me." She says to the twins.


As said by the Twins' they arrive at the forest, each flying on their own dragon with Hicca riding Bones, to see the forest totally devastated.

"Like we said; ultimate destruction." Ruffnut says standing next to Hicca.

"We've seen that burn mark before." Hicca says.

"Not this big." Asher states.

"You know what this means. Big burn mark-" Fishlegs begins to say.

"Big Typhoomerang." Hicca finishes before they all look up to see Torch's mother

"He looks really mad." Tuffnut says.

"Hey it's my mom." Torch says in Hicca's arms shocking her as she now understands why Toothless was acting so weird.

"Uh, it's not a 'he'; it's a 'she'. That's Torch's mother." Hicca says.

"Torch is a baby." Asher says in realization.

"That's right." Torch says appearing on Fishlegs' shoulder.

"That's what Toothless was trying to tell me." Hicca says feeling guilty for how she treated her main dragon.

"Whoever gets between that mother and this baby is gonna get fried!" Fishlegs says in a panic passing Torch to Tuffnut.

"You take it!" Tuffnut says passing Torch to Ruffnut.

"I don't want it!" Ruffnut says pushing Torch into Snotlout.

"Just leave it, and let's get out of here." Snotlout says passing the Typhoomerang to Hicca as Torch chirps.

Torch's mother somehow hears the chirping and looks down from up in the air through the trees to see her missing baby in Hicca's arms.

"Uh-oh." Hicca says gulping.

"You said it." Torch says fearing his mother as well.

"Now, uh, go home to your Mama." Hicca says setting Torch on the ground and sees his mother breathing fire as she comes towards the riders. "RUN!" She screams and runs away unaware Torch follows after her. "You guys go that way. I'll lead her back into the forest away from the village." She says running into the forest leaving her dragons behind.

"Hicca!" Asher yells.

"Wait!" Serpentina yells.

"Come back!" Bones shouts.

Torch's mother lets out a loud roar which Toothless hears from the cove as he shoots from his nap.

'I know that roar. Hicca!' Toothless shouts in his mind worried for his rider.

As Hicca continues to run away from the enraged mother through the forest she looks behind her to see Torch is still following her.

"Oh, please stop following me!" Hicca pleads as she runs towards the cove's cliff. "TOOTHLESS!" She screams as she jumps and lands perfectly on her Night Fury's saddle. "Thanks, sweetie. I'm so sorry. I should have listened to you." She says rubbing her dragon's head affectionately.

"Yeah, you should have. But I'm just glad you're safe." Toothless says as he dodges the flames sent by Torch's mother.

"Toothless, evasive maneuvers!" Hicca orders as they head out to the ocean's sea-stacks but Torch's mother continues to follow. "Oh, why won't she stop?" She asks.

"Hello." Torch says appearing behind her on Toothless' saddle.

"What the…? Torch?! What are you doing?! You need to be with your mother!" Hicca shouts.

"But I want to be with you." Torch says.

"Toothless, we have to try something else. We'll use her size against her!" Hicca says.

"I like the sound of that." Toothless says.

"Toothless, up!" Hicca orders as the Night Fury flies straight upward. "Now! Dive!" She shouts as Toothless makes a sharp downward turn.

Torch's mother continues to follow the Night Fury and his rider closely but is taken by surprise by the sudden leveling out causing the large female Typhoomerang to crash into the ground, hard.

"I hope she's okay." Hicca says as Torch hopes off Toothless and walks up to his mother.

"Mom, are you okay?" Torch asks rubbing himself against his mother's cheek.

A few seconds later Torch's mother awakes and sees her baby and happily returns his affection. Just then two more baby Typhoomerangs come down from their mother's back and welcome the return of their lost sibling.

"My older sister. And my little brother. It's so good to see to two again." Torch says happily.

"Good job, bud. Everybody's back where they belong." Hicca says patting Toothless on his head as Bones and Serpentina arrive and land on either side of their brother.

"Well done brother. You've help reunite a family." Bones says looking at the family of Typhoomerangs.

"I guess you weren't jealous after all." Serpentina says.

"I'll admit at first I was jealous but…" Toothless says.

"Ha! I knew it." Serpentina teases her brother making Bones laugh while Toothless blushes and Hicca giggles.

"Hicca, can I stay with you?" Torch asks, standing in front of Toothless, shocking the dragons.

"I'm sorry Torch but you're still a baby." Hicca says making Torch look down at the ground sadly. "I'll tell you what. Go with your mother and grow up into a fully grown Typhoomerang and then if you still want to be one of my dragons, come back to Berk and find me." She says.

"You promise?" Torch asks looking up hopefully.

"I promise." Hicca says as Torch climbs onto his mother's back and the mother looks at Hicca with a thankfully emotion that she reads in the Typhoomerang's eyes. "Goodbye, Torch." She says as the four of them watch the family fly away in a spectacular spin. "Let's go home, everyone." She says to her dragons as they fly back to Berk.


Later that night, Hicca and Toothless were enjoying their time inside their home while Gobber composes a song for them just for the occasion.

"Ah. I wrote this just for the occasion." Gobber says and continues playing his panpipes.

"I should have known you were just trying to protect me. That's what you do." Hicca says but then Toothless gags up a fish for her. "And then you do that." She says looking at the hacked up fish in her lap.


The next day, Hicca and Toothless bond mutually and respect each other more than ever, and fly through the forest as.

'Communication between dragon and rider goes both ways. Not only must the Dragon follow the Rider's lead, but the Rider must listen to the dragon as well. Because sometimes, what the dragon is trying to say is what you really need to hear.'
