AN: Remember I'm doing it to the Short so it will be sounding a lot like it.

The next morning three kids had just finished building their snow-grongle and hugging it, when Astrid came by with a tray something.

"Yaknog!" she call out "Get your yaknog. Come on get a frothy delicious cup of cheer!"

Just then she saw her friends.

"Hey you guys," she said running up "Try this tasty new beverage I made for the holidays."

"Ugh what's that smell?" Tuffnut asks waving his hand in front of his face "Is that you?" he asks pushing his sister away from him.

"It's yaknog," Astrid said pouring a cup of white and yellow lumpy gooey slime.

"Ugh... If I drink that I'm gonna yak nog all over the place." Tuff said eyeing the thing and backing away.

"Maybe you'd rather taste a punch in the face?" Astrid suggested balling her fist up to show she meant it if he dissed her drink again.

"Astrid, it sounds delightful," Snotlout said coming up trying to win her over like always "I'd love a cup."

But he soon regretted it as soon as it touched his tongue, but Astrid didn't notice as she was looking smug at Tuff.

"Oh you can really taste the yak..." Snotlout said placing the cup back down and backing off.

"Ummm... Yum what is that?" Fishlegs asks running up and accidentally knocking Tuffnut over coming up to Astrid looking at the cups.

"Oh do you want to try some?" Astrid asks smiling "It's my new traditional drink."

Slowly behind her Snotlout looks over her shoulder and shakes his head.

"Oh you know what i have suddenly and inexplicably changed my mind..." Fishlegs says seeing the warning and backing off a bit.

"Well, you don't know what you're missing," Astrid says in her proud voice. "I bet Hiccup will like this." she says and heads to the forge.

"Are you crying?" Ruffnut asks Snotlout who was trying not to be sick.

"Hiccup?" Astrid calls as she enters the forge.

"Yeah I'm over here Astrid, coming," Hiccup says picking up some tools and coming back to his newest invention.

"Here, happy holidays," Astrid says presenting the yaknog "From me to you."

"Thank you mi'lady," Hiccup says taking one.

He was about to have a sip when Astrid asks "What you up to?"

"Er... Ok you're going to think I'm crazy," Hiccup says putting the cup down. "But... I just can't stop thinking on what Tuffnut said last night. Toothless can't come and go like the other dragons and that's just not fair," he says testing that the mechanism worked "I was up all night... And I think I have a solution to that."

With that he takes a sip of the drink and immediately regrets it.

His dragon side is saying 'This is delicious', but his human side the one that had more power was telling him to spit it out, but he didn't want to do that with Astrid nearby so her feelings wouldn't get hurt.

"No way, you built him a new tail?" Astrid says amazed "So he'll be able to fly without you."

"Hmm hmm" Hiccup says nodding.

"Wow... What a great gift. What if he never comes back?" Astrid asks getting a worried look from Hiccup "What am I saying he's your brother, of course he'll come back. Well I'm going to go spread some more holiday cheer. Your amazing!" she cries as she leaves.

Hiccup watched her go and when she was out of sight immediately spat out what he had in his mouth shuddering.

"Ugh... that's worse than the first fish Toothless gave me..." he said to himself then looking to the new tail wondered what would happen if Toothless never came back.

But as Astrid said... he was his brother so better just give it a try.

Picking it up he went to go find his dragon brother.

'Hiccup... Hiccup wake up I want to go flying!' Noche is saying as he bounces on the Chief's roof.

"Toothless!" Hiccup's voice calls out getting him to stop. "Come on down bud. I got something for ya."

In seconds Noche was on the ground and running up to Hiccup and sniffing the thing in his arms.

'What is it?' he asks.

"What you think of that?" Hiccup asks proudly as he heads or Noche's tail "Yeah..."

'Yeah but, what is it?' Noche asks spinning around trying to have another look at the thing.

"Will you just settle down?" Hiccup laughs slightly "Come on bud, let me get this on ya..." he says sitting on his brothers tail holding it still and putting the new tail on there.

Feeling him on there, Noche looked around his wings to see what Hiccup was doing and make sure he was off before he takes to the sky... he didn't really want a repeat of that time in the cove when he first got his new tail.

"You are going to love this..." Hiccup says smiling, tightening the belt and connecting the gears. "Ok..." he says patting the tail and getting up.

'What is it? What does it do?' Noche asks screeching and spinning around flapping his tail.

"No, no Toothless, Toothless please wait," Hiccup says scared that Noche will hurt himself. "Toothless wait!"

'Why do you think that I will...' Noche asks not listening and flicks his tail open and the new thing opens out too surprising him.

Open... Open... Close... Close... the new tail did exactly that his real one did.

"Ah there you go see..." Hiccup says pleased that Noche wasn't slashing around anymore.

'Your made this for me?' Noche asks eyes wide never knowing how talented his brother was.

'Well yeah... It's just...' Hiccup says testing out some of that Dragonese he was learning. "Toothless..."

But before he could say anything the black dragon turned around and took off into the sky setting out on his quest to find what he wants to give Hiccup for this holiday of giving, knowing just the thing - he just had to find it.
