It took a while, and some help, but Hiccup managed to get the longboat from earlier and told the dragons to place it in front of the babies.

Seeing where the boy was going with this the mummy's and daddy's tried to get their babies on to it, but they wouldn't get on.

Asking Hookfang to let him down, Hiccup jumped off and called the for the babies attention.

"Come on guys" he called out looking around "I know this thing's a bit beaten up and could probably fall apart at any minute. But hey it's the only way to get you lot off this island."

They still didn't move.

Getting an idea, Hiccup went in to the boat first to show that it was safe.

Watching with curiosity, the babies as one cocked their heads and wondering what he was doing.

Slowly, one of Stormfly's babies made her way up to the boat and hopped in. After a bit she called to her sisters who came in after her, then the rest of the Nadders, and then all of the babies.

Leaving all the grown ups super surprised, and staring at the boy as he carefully made his way through the crowd to get back to Hookfang.

They were their hatchlings parents, and they choose to listen to Hiccup?

After making sure enough dragons were holding the boat and make them even out so the boat stayed level. Hiccup went over to Hookfang and got on.

As one the adults took off into the sky, their claws holding the rope and slowly the boat lifted up and they were on their way back to Berk.

Berk

All the baby Gronkles had been gathered up, and all the fires had been put out.

Now Astrid was helping to fix the roofs, while everyone else was down in the plaza.

"Oh look Gobber," Stoick said as he and his friend came over and checking the buildings were safe again "This is a disaster..."

"Oh it's not so bad," Gobber said in his ever happy voice

"Not that bad?" Stoick asked "The village is destroyed. The Dragons have gone and left us. Lets face it. This holiday is a complete... What are these people looking at?" he asked as all the villagers were standing in the plaza and looking up to the sky.

Something was coming at them. Something big.

"What is that?" Stoick asked narrowing his eyes.

No it wasn't one something, it was lots of something, and it looked like they were carrying another something.

"It's Hiccup!" Stoick says knowing that that was the only thing it could possibly be.

"And our dragons," Astrid said happily cheering along with the rest.

o0o

Slowly and carefully, Hiccup guided the dragons to lower the boat onto the icy ground and then pull it along until it was right in front of everybody.

When it had stopped all the dragons dropped the ropes.

o0o

Slowly, with no words being said the villagers moved forward to see what was in the boat.

Slowly the baby dragons poked their heasd out wondering why the ride had stopped.

"Aww..." everyone said as the draconic babies came out and went to their parents who were coming down from the sky.

After Hiccup hopped off Hookfang, Snotlout was right at the dragon hugging him.

"Woo hoo!"

o0o

In the sky, Meatlug was looking for her babies, finding them, and came down, barfing up a few fish for them to share.

"MEATLUG!" Fishlegs cried out running up and bowling her over with a hug.

o0o

"Stormfly!" Astrid said running up to her Nadder "Your back oh... And there are babies..." she said welcoming the baby Nadders.

o0o

"Hahaha, well done son," Stoick said coing up behind Hiccup and giving him a bone crushing (well bone cushing to Hiccup) hug.

"Thanks... Dad..." Hiccup said breathing strongly as he was let out of the hold.

"EVERYONE!" Stoick called out in his strong voice. "GRAB YOUR DRAGONS, TO THE GREAT HALL!" he said walking to the crowd "We finally have something to celabrate..."

In the Great Hall everyone was with their dragons and their babies and Hiccup was watching them.

"This is the best holiday ever!" Fishlegs said playing with a few of Meatlug's babies.

Snotlout was playing with a baby Nightmare scratching it's chin making it spit out a small flame at him, making him laugh.

Over there a married couple were petting their Gronkle.

Over there a set of twins were playing with a baby Zippleback.

Over there Sally, Astrid's cousin was playing with a Terror, carrying it across the room.

With each Viking and Dragon combo he saw, Hiccup's smile lessened.

"Hiccup?" Astrid's voice caught his attention as she came over "I know that this must be really hard for you, seeing and hearing everyone with their dragons. But you really did a wonderful thing. Thank you..." she said giving him a quick kiss and throwing herself at him in a hug, which he re-payed.

"Astrid, where did Toothless go?" Hiccup asked looking to the sky a sad look on his face "I know it's not to see Nyx and Artemis* because he would of taken me along too."

"I don't know," Astrid said looking up at the sound of the door opening and a black dragon sticking his head in and entering was seen.

Smiling Astird pulled away and said to Hiccup...

"Man. Wouldn't want to be you right now. I mean you brought back everyone's dragons except your, who is also your brother, what would your parents think?"

"Yeah you know this isn't really helping, at all..." Hiccup said a slightly annoyed look on his face.

Smiling, Astrid gives Hiccup a shove, making him spin around to see his dragon.

"TOOTHLESS! Hey bud..." he cried out running up to hug him, the black dragon meeting him half way.

After a pause to check if this was real, Hiccup threw his arms around his dragon/brother's neck.

Up on the lever above them, Gobber got Stoick's attention and pointed to the reunion the two boys were having.

After a bit Hiccup pulled way and got all firm with him.

"Bad dragon, very bad dragon," Hiccup said wagging his finger at his brother. "You scared me to death. Don't you ever stay away that long again with out telling me where you're going, and what is in your mouth?"

In a form of an answer, Toothless moves to being over Hiccups head and plants the object covered in dragon spit onto the boys head.

"Ugh..." Astrid and Snotlout said.

"Eww..." The Twins and Fishlegs agreed.

[][][][]

'What i got you for holiday,' Noche says pulling away and licking his lips.

"Ugh... yeah you found my helmet..." Hiccup said wiping some of the spit off. "Hey! You founf my helmet! That's where you've been?"

'Where else would I be?' Noche asks rubbing up to him.

"Buddy, thank you," Hiccup said rubbing Notche gently "You are amazing."

With that he gives him one more hug.

"HAPPY SNOGGLETOG!" Astrid calls out getting cheers to go with it.

The next morning...

'Hiccup...' Noche's voice called through the roof as it shook.

In his room Hiccup was still in bed but sat up, smiling as the room shook. He had missed that.

Getting up Hiccup choose to leave his helmet here this time and wen outside.

The whole of Berk was covered in untouched snow.

'Hiccup...' a dragon's voice called to him from the roof.

"I'm coming Toothless!" Hiccup said coming round the back of the house.

"Ok bud come on down i was just..." Hiccup was in the middle of saying when he saw Toothless already down a smile on his lips his old tail and saddle out before him.

"Toothless what you pull this out for? You don't need it anymore," Hiccup said gently kicking the saddle to one side. "Come on let's get going."

'No,' Toothless said getting up and moving over to the saddle again, Hiccup giving him a look of confusion.

"Would you quit fooling around? You have your new tail now," Hiccup said trying to get on again, only for Toothless to move again. "Toothless..."

'Well...' Toothless says turning to his tail and opening it 'This new tail's really great Hiccup, and it means i can fly on my own. But...' he starts bashing it against the ground.

"TOOTHLESS STOP!" Hiccup cries running forward "What are you doing?"

in answer, Toothless flicks his tail and the fake half comes off, making Hiccup stare.

'If I don't have this, with you with me...' Toothless says pulling the saddle out and pawing at it 'I really don't want to.'

"You... You mean it?" Hiccup asks smiling

'Uh huh,' Toothless says nodding and smiling himself.

"Well come on then..." Hiccup said and threw the saddle onto his brother's back.

Winter in Berk lasts most of the year.

It hangs on with both hands and won't let go. And the only real comforts against the cold, are the ones you keep close to your heart.

In the air Hiccup and Toothless were a good distance up.

"Ok bud you ready?" he asks, getting a growl of agreement, unhooking his safety harness and taking his leg out of the stirrup, getting onto Toothless' back.

And jumping off to begin to free-fall.

Turns out, that was the best Snoggletog ever, most of the villagers will believe.

That year, one brother gave another a pretty great gift.

They come back together Hiccup cheering as Toothless prays open his wings, cutting over the tree tops.

He gave him a better one...
