A/n: A quick one this time about the babies again. Quick note: I'm doing one of my own ideas next, so any requests may take a little longer than usual. I'm still doing them though! (This is TNT's idea.)

'What're we doing today?' Sleekscales asked.

'You're playing with the scuttleclaws,' Stormfly reminded her, eliciting a groan from her child. 'They're your age!' she pointed out, 'You'll get along just fine.'

The other children shared a few cautious looks. Being of the same age by no means meant that they were of the same size. Or the same mentality: scuttleclaw babies were well known for being absent-minded yet energetic.

'Do we have to?' Sleekscales whined. The glare she received answered her question, and she walked off with the rest of her friends to find the other children.

'Hi!' one of the scuttleclaws - Spark, Sleekscales seemed to recall as a name - shouted. The small group of dragons had found a few scuttleclaws without much effort, and had introduced themselves already. 'I'm Spark!'

'Hi Spark!' Ugg and Lee said in unison. 'Wanna play?' they offered.

'Yeah! Play catch!' Spark said enthusiastically. He leapt forwards then, nearly crushing Fireworm when he didn't move out of the way in time. The other dragons watched, wide-eyed in shock, as the monstrous nightmare struggled underneath the larger dragon.

'Get off me!' he complained loudly, setting himself on fire in protest.

'That's how you play!' Spark explained, not apologetic in the least. Eventually, though, he did climb off Fireworm's back, leaving the dragon gasping for breath on the floor. 'Your turn!'

The dragons stared at Spark for a second, none of them moving. Laze was the first to make a move for once, wings flapping madly as he hefted himself slowly over to the scuttleclaw and landed on top of him with a thud. Despite the heavy weight suddenly on him, Spark enjoyed the game, kicking Laze away happily.

'Well, this is great...' Sleekscales lied, 'But is there another game we can play?'

'Tig! Tig!' one of the other scuttleclaws, red except for some green markings on her head, suggested brightly.

Tig turned out a lot less painful for the younger dragons. Unfortunately, that was because it was a lot more painful for the residents of Berk. It appeared that all scuttleclaw games consisted of the same main elements: run into things and man-handle them. The only difference was what was being man-handled.

Today, the first Viking the scuttleclaws found was Hiccup. He was with Toothless, as usual, but even the night fury's alpha status was useless against the babies.

'This is actually pretty fun...' Fireworm decided hesitantly, watching Spark nuzzle against Hiccup hard enough to send the poor Viking sprawling on the floor, where the rest of the scuttleclaws started biting him affectionately. 'When we aren't the targets...'

'Yeah.' Laze agreed with a yawn. 'Just don't make me do it too...'
