Here's chapter 5. Please read and review. I don't have much to say at this point.


"Bud," Hiccup said dropping a pile of fish unto the ground in front of him, "Eat up we got a long day ahead of us."

Toothless cooed at Hiccup. Hiccup just went back to work on his plan.

His plan is to play along with Astrid's story, but help his dad fight off the dragons she sent. The plan wasn't as fool proof as he wanted it to be, and there's nothing he can do to make it better. He'll just have to try it and hope for the best of things.

"How do I keep the body count down to a minimum," Hiccup asked as he drew out the plans in his notebook.

"Body count," a familiar male voice said from behind.

Hiccup spun around to find the twins, Snotlout and Fishlegs standing there. Toothless growled at the four and they responded by getting ready to fight.

"Guys wait," Hiccup said getting in between them, "I can explain all of this."

"Then explain so we can tell Stoick," Snotlout said angrily.

"You can't tell my dad," Hiccup said, he sighed, "Sit down and don't do or say anything until I'm done with my story."

They four reluctantly did as they were told. Hiccup began his story of how he had freed Toothless rather than kill him, how Astrid got her powers, his strange dream and the instructions he was given to get Astrid to wear the amulet and fall in love.

They sat there staring at him like he had corn growing out his ears. Fishlegs stood up and motioned for the others to follow him. Snotlout and the twins got up and wordlessly followed Fishlegs.

"You don't believe him do you" Snotlout asked Fishlegs quietly.

"No but I do want to help him," Fishlegs said, "He's gone crazy with guilt from her death. He's created this outlandish tale to keep Astrid alive in his head, he hasn't accepted the fact she's gone."

"But she is gone," Ruffnut said.

"Poor Hiccup," Fishlegs said, "He's not the warrior he thought he could be, but now hat he is that warrior he can't handle the stress. We play along and when we get the chance we tell Stoick what's going on. And the dragon is not mentioned at all."

"Why not," Snotlout asked.

"Simply for the reason that Toothless makes Hiccup less insane," Ruffnut said.

"Right," Fishlegs said, "We use the dragon as a tool to bring him back to sanity."

"So we're helping traitor," Snotlout said rolling his eyes.

"He's not a traitor but you will be if you don't help us," Fishlegs said, "Simple as that."

"Fine," Snotlout said, "But we better find a way to get him to think we don't think he's crazy. If anything, he's not stupid."

"Got it," Fishlegs said, "Hey Hiccup we'll help you," he shouted out to Hiccup.

"But you have to prove you're telling the truth," Snotlout said.

Hiccup help up the amulet the troll gave him, "If I was lying would I have this mysterious amulet."

"Could've made it," Ruffnut said crossing her arms.

"Come with me then Ruffnut," Hiccup said as he held out his hand.

"No," Tuffnut said, "If your stories true I'm not letting you hurt my sister like you did Astrid."

"I didn't mean for her to fall," Hiccup said, "And like I said she never got hurt."

"Then why didn't she come back," Tuffnut asked.

"Her powers duh," Ruffnut said stepping toward Hiccup, "Don't you listen."

Hiccup helped her on the dragon. Soon they were gone. The boys stood there watching them as they slowly turned into a dot. Fishlegs sat down by a rock while the other two craned their necks at the sky.

"Sit down guys," Fishlegs said, "They may be awhile."


Ruffnut held on as Toothless took twists and turns in the fog. Hiccup ordered Toothless to fly straight up over the ice castle when it came into view as not to tip of Astrid.

"I'm guessing this is her palace," Ruffnut said in awe.

"Yup," Hiccup said, "You've seen it now let's go before she finds out I'm here."

They sped off into the thick fog.


Toothless landed in the alcove next to the rocks the others were at. Ruffnut hopped off and ran up to them.

"He's telling the truth" Ruffnut said, "I saw Astrids palace it was beautiful."

"It was," Fishlegs said nodding.

"Yes yes," Ruffnut said, "I'm not slaying any dragons after that ride it was awesome."

"Get onto it," Snotlout said annoyed, "Is Astrid alive."

"She has to be," Ruffnut said, "That place wasn't created by hand, it was created by magic."

"So he is telling the truth," Tuffnut said shocked.

"Okay crazy stories true," Fishlegs said, "Now what."

"We tell Stoick," Snotlout suggested.
