Hey guys another chappie felt like posting today as it is my birthday! Yay! 13! Well thank you for the reviews.
Reviews:
DragonDream1011: Yeah. When Wolfy found out about that she was ticked. Nerdy well, deserved it. Everyone else, well, not much harm done.
Rumbling Night Cutter: You smart bugger. Alright then.
midnightsky0612: Thank you. You are awesome.
EzmiTallie: Aww! Thanks! Thank you for your suggestion. X3
Enjoy! Review! Follow! Fav! Arigatō!
After an hour or so everyone was puffed out, including Nerdy. Some people were hugged by Nerdy as there were too slow, were covered in cream and decided that some others should experience it too. So they decided to scoop up some cream to throw at some unsuspecting people.
"Well! Let's get back to the Wolf Den and relax for a while eh? Then we'll continue with Rumble announcing his nominee for the Ice Bucket Challenge." Announced Sapphie. "And we have another! Wolf Crew member. That we will all meet after we all settle down."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Moments Later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nerdy was wearing a different outfit as her previous one was covered in cream, beyond repair. Not really. Nerdy just felt grossed out to wear clothes that were covered in cream and other stuff. She was wearing a grey plain shirt with a fur vest with some fur pants and boots, with a large raven feather in her hair with some owl feathers in twined with some bit of her hair secured by beads, as she was in a certain mood. For some reason Wolfy was in a different outfit, she seemed to be in a black suit. Sapphie also seemed to be in a different outfit, she was wearing a gray oversized shirt with the T.A.R.D.I.S on it and some knee length tights, also her hair was shorter, only up to her back and was it black. While Rumble and Fear where just still in their same attire.
"Ok so now we are all going to just relax. So first up we will read a fanfic. As most of you know what it is but the past cast haven't yet so this is the perfect opportunity." Said Sapphie. "But let's introduce our new Wolf Crew member, Dragonchick101!"
There standing at the door stood a girl with blue eyes and auburn hair that went a bit past her shoulders with a fringe that was swept to the left. She wore a black top, a matching skirt, black tights and black fingerless gloves.
"Hi I'm Dragonchick 101, but you can call me Agent 101 or just 101." The girl said.
"Hi Agent 101. I'm Wolfy but you can call me Agent 007." Wolfy shook her hand with a smirk, she then put on some sunnies. "Que the explosion Saph."
"Ok!"
*EXPLOSION!*
"Hey Agent 101! Nice to meet yah!" Sapphie gave her a hug.
"Greetings Newcomer. You are wearing a strange tunic. What tribe or clan are you from?" asked Nerdy in a strange voice.
"Wha?" said Agent 101.
"Ignore her. She just does that to annoy us." Said Wolfy pushing Nerdy to the side.
"Hello. Nice to meet you, I'm Fear. I'm new here too." Said Fear, pushing Wolfy slightly out of the way. He suddenly was shoved out of the way by Rumble who was using the force.
"Hi, names Rumble. Nice to meet yah." Rumble greeting her with a pat on the shoulder.
"Well to welcome our new member we will do something like last time. But first let's read a fanfic but since it is twenty chappies we will only read some of it. Maybe five or so." Said Sapphie. "Ok this one is, 'A Recipe for Disaster,' by, 'Arcawolf.' The summary is: 'Berk is left shocked after a battle with a witch goes wrong. Everyone's horrified . . . except for Toothless. Apparently, he didn't care whether his surrogate brother was a human or dragon. Or, the one where Hiccup becomes a baby Night Fury.'"
"Oh boy." Sighed YHiccup.
"I wonder what happens." Said YAstrid teasingly.
Chapter 1
Dragons. You've probably heard of them. Big, scaly lizards with a slightly unhealthy attachment to fire. Terrifying mythical monsters that have filled our legends since the beginning of time. I'm sure you've heard of them. You probably know a lot about them.
"Duh! We're Vikings!" called out PSnotlout.
"Just shut it." Said Rumble.
But of course, if you believed everything I just said, you obviously don't know as much as you think you do. See, not everything I told you is true. I'm not talking about the scaly part – that's true. Or the big part – that's usually true. And certainly not the fire part. No, the lie I told was the mythical part, because you see, dragons are very, very real. My village was at war with them for hundreds of years before Toothless and I came along. Now, we all live together in harmony. We're partners, allies, best friends. Virtually every family in Berk has at least one dragon of their own, and everyone able to shoot a bow knows how to ride one. I'm no exception. I got one, too: Toothless. He's a good guy. A little too obsessed with chewing on tables, but I still love him.
The Toothless' crooned at their riders.
Seeing as we're a village full of dragon-riding Vikings (and trust me, it's every bit as awesome as it sounds) you would think that any intelligent resident of Berk would naturally have an open mind about other mythical beasts. Maybe for everyone else that was true, but not me. Nope. No way. I didn't think there could be anything out there other than dragons. So, when I finally found my first so-called witch, I laughed.
Right up until she started throwing lightning at me.
"Hiccup!" cried OValka.
"Not me. Fanfic me!" said OHiccup putting his hands up in surrender.
"Move!" I cried.
My foot shifted in the stirrup, changing gear and sucking in Toothless's tailfin as he twisted to dive. A stream of yellow lightning passed over us, just inches away from frying me. The clouds rumbled. The residual light made Toothless's eyes glow.
"Careful, guys!" I called. "She's winding up for another!"
"I got it." Fishlegs grinned atop his hovering Gronckle, and pointed at the witch. "Meatlug, go!"
"I'm in this!" cheered PFishlegs.
Above me, Meatlug spat out a glob of fire. It descended to earth with a whine, picking up speed as it did.
The witch snarled. She leapt out of the way, and unleashed another bolt of hot lightning.
"Oops." Fishlegs said. He and Meatlug watched with wide eyes as the lightning drew closer –
"Hookfang, now!"
"Snotlout! Snotlout! Oi! Oi! Oi!" cheered the Spitelouts and Snotlouts.
With a war cry, Snotlout and his Nightmare swept in, bearing down directly on top of Meatlug, forcing both rider and dragon below the lightning. That wasn't all it did; the momentum sent Meatlug and Fishlegs down further, right into the ocean.
"You're welcome!" Snotlout hollered. He jutted out his chin, puffed out his cheeks, and looked around for a certain someone. "Hey, Ruffnut, did you see that?"
"Yeah, yeah," Ruffnut grunted. "Eyes on the prize, loser."
"Competing for Ruff, eh? Snotty?" asked Agent 101.
With Ruffnut atop one head and her twin atop the other, Barf and Belch weaved their way toward the witch. The Zippleback twisted past one bolt, drew its necks far apart to evade another. Meanwhile, I urged Toothless higher, higher –
"Got you!" Armed with a sharp grin, Astrid patted her Nadder's neck, signalling her to fire. The Nadder swooped in behind the witch, bearing her wings wide to slow herself.
"Yeah Stormfly!" cheered PAstrid jumping up, she then noticed the looks of the other Vikings and sat down, still embarrassed.
The witch yelped. She barely dove out of the way, and flames scorched the rocks next to her. But she managed to force Stormfly back with more lighting. The witch rose, bushy-haired and wild-eyed . . .
This seemed as good a time as any.
"Like we discussed, Toothless. Ready . . ."
He found a spot above the witch, and hovered.
" . . . Now!"
We dove. The witch stiffened as she heard the telltale shriek of a Night fury preparing to fire.
The second she looked up, it was done.
No, we didn't shoot her. I wasn't looking to splatter her all over the island.
"Nice description Hic. Nice description." Said Fear.
Toothless just hit the ground next to her, which I heard feels like being smacked by a Gronckle's tail.
"Yeah it hurts. I speak of experience." Said OFishlegs, then OMeatlug starts to croon sadly as if apologizing, "It's ok girl, I know you didn't mean it."
A cloud of dust rose, hiding everything on the ground. Grains stirred, moving away like a school of fish as the other riders and I descended. Once we hit land, I dismounted, taking a moment to switch my prosthetic leg from its flying setting to its walking setting.
I hadn't heard anything yet. I held my hand up, warning the others to stay back. Off my waist, I grabbed my sword, and the fire lining it made just a tiny bit easier to see through the dust.
A hand reached out.
The witch was on the ground, completely brown with dirt. She clawed her way up to her hands and knees, hissing, "You . . ."
I bopped her on the head with my sword's pommel, and she dropped.
"Wow that was easy." Said YRuff.
"Yeah you just bop someone on the head with a sword then they drop." Said YTuff.
I turned. "Everyone accounted for?"
As I spoke, Fishlegs and Meatlug finally caught up. They were dripping and panting. "Yeah, I think so."
"Great." I looked at the still witch. "Now what? I don't think a regular cell would hold her."
"Burn her!" cheered the Tuffs.
"That sounds cruel." Said Nerdy.
Tuffnut laughed darkly. "Let's burn her."
The Tuffnuts were given strange looks.
"Nah, fling her off a catapult!" cheered the Ruffs.
"That's just as nasty." Said Wolfy.
"Nah." Ruffnut shoved her brother aside. "I say we fling her off a catapult!"
The Ruffnuts were also given strange looks.
"Oh, oh, I know!" Fishlegs bounced up and down, hand up. "Let's leave her on a rock in the middle of nowhere!"
"But she won't be in pain!" complained all of the twins.
As they, plus Snotlout all began to argue, I rolled my eyes and walked toward Astrid. "What do you think?"
"Always asking your girlfriend." Said OSnotlout.
"I don't know." She frowned thoughtfully, absently petting her purring Nadder. "I'm sure Stoick would like to know why she's here and where she came from, but it's too risky to bring her back."
"Well, we could always keep her in place and bring him here." I lifted an arm, and flexed. "I think I'm strong enough to wrestle an old lady."
"Yeah, very strong." Teased PGobber.
"Hey." Complained PHiccup.
Astrid laughed. She flicked my bicep, teasing, "You sure about that?"
"Hey, I've been working out," I said, strutting around her. "It takes a lot of muscle to wrangle a vicious Night Fury, you know."
"Yep, totally" said OAstrid.
She smiled. "I'm sure."
"I might even be stronger than you . . . Argh! Okay, you win!"
Astrid released me from the lock she had me in, and I rubbed my sore wrist tenderly. She offered me her hand, and pulled me to my feet. At that, Toothless and Stormfly, reassured that no fighting was happening, went back to trying to herd the remaining bits of dust in the air.
"Nice try," she told me.
"Someday." When she playfully rolled her eyes, I walked backwards and said, "No, you just watch. I'm going to became a big, hairy giant like my Dad, and then you will be sorry you ever teased me . . ."
As I was speaking, Astrid's eyes had grown wide. Odd, but maybe I sounded scarier than I thought –
"Hiccup, behind you!"
I looked just in time to see a very much awake witch. A white beam shot from her hand directly toward me.
"Hiccup!" ccried everyone except the Wolf Crew and the Hiccups.
Toothless shrieked. A ball of purple fire emerged from his throat, seeking to intercept –
The two smashed together. The beam didn't stop. Now, it was just covered with purple sparks as it came toward me.
This was going to be fun.
Boom.
A quick wiggle told me that I had all my fingers and toes. I could still see . . . oh joy, I was still alive. Hooray! And I didn't feel like I was missing anything. Maybe Toothless's fire had done the job after all. You know what they say: dragons trump witches!
"See, I'm fine." Said the Hiccups.
Speaking of the witch, Toothless had pounced, and I don't think she would be getting up again.
"Well, that could have been a lot worse." I shook my head, and shuddered. "Good thing, Toothless was there to save the day. Right, bud?"
Toothless panted. He wagged his hindquarters.
"Okay, now we need to get back to Berk." I glanced at the others. "Why is everyone looking at me like that?"
By that, I meant slack-jawed and with pale faces. Even Astrid. It was pretty adorable.
The Hiccups and Astrids blushed.
Stormfly suddenly hopped closer. She leaned down, and sniffed me.
"Hello to you, too." I said.
"Hiccup?" Astrid walked forward, scanning the air. "Hiccup, are you there?"
"Uh, yes," I said. "Astrid, I'm literally right in front of you."
She continued to look at the air above me. What was she doing? I walked up to her, determined to get her to stop this madness . . .
Whoa. Whoa.
Since when did Astrid get this tall?
She looked down – down – at me. In a tight voice, she said, "Hiccup, is that you? Nod if you understand."
I had no idea why she was treating me like this, but I nodded. When I did, instead of being relieved, Astrid was clearly horrified. She held her hand over her mouth, and backed away, whispering, "Odin . . ."
"Oh no. Don't tell me what I think is going on." Muttered OHiccup.
"What? What?" asked OTuff.
She wasn't the only one. Everybody was giving me that same horrified look. Except the dragons. And even they – with the exception of Toothless who seemed to be practically leaping into the air with excitement - were looking at me strangely.
I looked around. What . . .?
I noticed my helmet. It must have fallen off when the witch attacked. I walked up to it, intending to put it on.
Something was wrong. It shouldn't be this big.
I leaned closer. Peered into the shiny metal at my own reflection.
I saw green eyes. A black body.
Wings.
I screamed.
"Well that's chappie one. Next one?" asked Sapphie.
Everyone nodded wanting to know what would happen next.
Chapter 2
"This is terrible. Terrible! I'm a dragon. A dragon! Not even a big one. I'm a hatchling. Dad's going to kill me for this. No, he's going to completely freak out, and then he'll kill me!"
"Of course I would completely freak out." Said the Stoicks, exasperated.
I moaned. I meant to grab my head, but I had forgotten I now needed four legs to stand. So I just face-planted into the ground.
"Awww."
I rolled over. "Help me."
"I never knew Hiccup would ever ask that." Said PFishlegs, he was answered by glares.
The other teens stared.
Ruffnut burst out, "He's adorable!"
What? I got back to my feet, but wasn't fast enough to avoid Ruffnut.
"Look at him!" She gushed. One hand was splayed across my stomach, holding me to her chest. The other was poking me in the cheek with each word she spoke. "Aren't you a cute, bloodthirsty, little Night Fury?"
"Bloodthirsty?" asked OTuff.
Astrid scowled. "Ruff . . ."
She laughed. "Relax, Astrid. I'm not hitting on your boyfriend. You have to admit he's cute."
She pinched my cheek and tugged. I tried to shove her away, but that just made her go, "Aww!"
"Give him to me!" Astrid, my saviour, snatched me away. She held me under the armpits, holding me out as far from her as she could. "Guys, what are we going to do about this?"
Silence.
Toothless whined. He bounded up to where Astrid was holding me and sat patiently.
I squirmed. Astrid got the point and set me down where Toothless, in his haste, rammed me hard with his snout and flipped me over. He sniffed, maybe to double-check that it was really me, and then dragged me toward him by the tail. He laid down, one leg on either side of me.
"You're enjoying this, aren't you?" I said to him.
"Very reassuring." Said PGobber.
He nuzzled me. Then he licked my face.
"We need to get back to Berk," Astrid declared.
"Yes, I agree!" I said.
"What about the witch?" Snotlout asked.
"See if she has any books on her," I told him. "It could give us a clue how to reverse this."
"Check if she has anything on her," Astrid said. "We might be able to figure out how to cure him."
"Okay, what about Toothless?" Ruffnut asked. "Doesn't he need Hiccup to fly?"
"Astrid can take him," I said. "I showed her how to fly Toothless."
"I'll take him," Astrid said. "Hiccup taught me the basics of how to work the tailfin, just in case . . . well, in case something like this happened."
"Uh, I just said that," I told her. She ignored me, as did everyone else. "Why are you repeating everything I say?"
I had tried to approach her, but one of my too-many legs tripped me up. I laid there, staring at what I realized were not fingers anymore, but toes.
I was struck by a thought: could the other Vikings still understand me?
"Astrid? Hey, Astrid! Can you hear me?"
She didn't respond.
"Oh, no . . ."
Things had just gone from bad to worse.
"Yep"
I screamed up at Toothless. "Toothless, blink twice if you understand me."
He stared at me.
He licked my face.
Forget worse. We were doomed.
"It's the end of the world!" shouted YTuffnut.
I had honestly thought that turning into a dragon would have engraved the secret knowledge of dragon speech into my brain. Apparently not, though, as none of them were responding to my flurry of barks and howls, and I couldn't understand their noises either. I could see them concentrating, trying to figure out what I was saying, but nothing so far. Somehow, becoming the same species just made me even more alien to them.
I was nestled in Astrid's lap, the tip of my tail resting against Toothless's saddle. So far, she had gotten Toothless safely into the air with little trouble. No, the trouble had been getting on Toothless in the first place. Every time Astrid had tried to climb on with me onto the saddle, Toothless had moved away and turned so that he could stare at me. While everyone was caught in various degrees of shock, he seemed utterly delighted by my affliction.
"You really are happy with this aren't you bu." Grumbled YHiccup looking at YToothless.
"Astrid, you okay?" Fishlegs called out from somewhere behind us.
"Fine!" she shouted back. "Don't worry about me, I can handle this . . ."
I heard the gears click.
We fell out of the sky, leaving an echoing trail of screams.
"Yep you can handle it." teased PHiccup looking at PAstrid who punched him in the shoulder. "Ow!"
"Sorry!" Astrid clung tight to Toothless as he climbed back up. "My foot slipped."
I buried my head in my arms.
Apart from the occasional cooing from Ruffnut, it was pretty quiet flying back. Normally, the journey back home would be filled with enthusiastic retellings of our latest battle, illustrated by the elaborate arm movements and flailing of one Snotlout Jorgenson. Not this time. I think the thought of how Dad was going to react had damped the mood a little.
Astrid landed farther from Berk than she usually would, giving herself time to slip off Toothless before anyone noticed. She held me close to her, doing her best to hide me from any prying eyes and ran for my house.
"Stoick! Are you here? It's me, Astrid!" She knocked on the door violently. I feared it would crack. Behind us, Toothless barked.
The door swung open.
"Astrid!"
I knew dragons had sharp hearing, but I hadn't expected it to be like this. Dad's voice boomed through my skull, as if seeking to crush it, and I curled into a ball of agony.
"Ow. Sorry." OStoick apologized.
"I see you all are back. How's my favourite daughter-in-law?"
*BLUSH*
Her grip around me tightened as Dad wrapped her in a brief hug, and then a tremor went through us both as he slapped her on the back. "I see Toothless is here, too. Where's Hiccup gone off to?"
"Well, you see . . ."
"Taking care of business, isn't he?" Dad laughed. "That's my boy! Always working. Has he shown you what he's got down at the forge? You see, he's been playing around with some metal crafting . . ."
My heart stopped. He wouldn't.
" . . . and you remember that little figurine you were admiring when the traders came by?"
He WOULD. I wanted to cry. He was ruining the surprise!
"Dad." Cried YHiccup exasperated.
"That wouldn't have been the first time he has ruined a surprise." Said OHiccup.
My pained groan attracted Dad's attention. For the first time, he spied the tiny bundle – aka. Me – in Astrid's arms.
"Astrid," he whispered, "is that . . .?"
I felt her wince. "Stoick, I am so sorry . . ."
"Shh . . ." He held a hand up, silencing her. "I don't believe it. Hiccup finally found another one."
"It's not what you think . . ."
"Why, hello there, little guy!" Dad grabbed one of my hands – paws, whatever – and shook it up and down. "Nice to meet you. You can just call me Uncle Stoick."
"Uncle Stoick? Who would be the mother and father?" asked PSnotlout.
"He's not a dragon," Astrid cut in. "I mean he is, but he's not –"
"Oh, a girl, then? Sorry, my mistake." Against Astrid's protest, he took me from her. The sun was hot on my back as he held me up in front of his face. "Don't you worry, sweetheart. We're going to take good care of you."
"Oh great." Mumbled the Hiccups.
Everyone stifled a laugh.
He leaned in, and rubbed his nose against mine. If I could still blush, I would have. Not for myself, but for him. Dad was going to be so embarrassed.
"Oh no." mumbled the Stoicks.
Everyone again stifled a laugh. The Haddocks were sure funny.
"Stoick . . ."
"Where did he find her?" Dad asked. By this point, Toothless was jumping around on his hind legs trying to reach me. Dad obediently lowered his arms so that Toothless could sniff. "Did the parents come, too?"
"Hiccup didn't find him," Astrid said.
"Oh? Did she find him, then?" He smiled at me, and stroked my head. I counted down the seconds until the explosion. Three. Two. One . . .
"Stoick, that is Hiccup."
"And que the explosion." Said Wolfy.
*EXPLOSHIONE!*
Dad's hand froze mid-stroke. He slowly turned me to look him in the eye.
I raised a paw in greeting, and smiled.
"That's how you would greet him?" asked OFishlegs.
Chapter 3
"So?"
"So."
"Awkward silence." Chimed Sapphie.
Astrid and Dad were sitting at the table, appearing like they were staring at each other, but really they were looking into space. I was sitting on the tabletop between them, trying to figure out how to keep my wings closed. I hadn't had any trouble with them before, but that's because I hadn't really noticed them. Now, they seemed to flop down every time I relaxed. And I wasn't even going to get started on the awkward protrusion that was my new tail.
The table bumped. Toothless was down below, gnawing on one of the legs. Neither Astrid nor Dad seemed coherent enough to stop him.
"And the witch just died?"
"Yep," Astrid said. "Didn't leave behind a spellbook or anything."
"Oh." Dad shifted. He looked like he wanted to poke me. "Well, that's unfortunate."
"Yep."
"Yep."
The table bumped again, more violently. Skullcrusher had just decided to join Toothless. Unlike Toothless, he didn't really fit, and the table ended up bobbing up and down as it teetered on his back.
"Out from there." With his foot, Stoick shooed both Toothless and Skullcrusher away. "So, any suggestions on how to deal with this?"
"Not one," Astrid said. "Hiccup might have one, though."
They looked at me hopefully. I shook my head.
"Darn." Stoick drummed his fingers against the table. "I'll speak to Gothi. Maybe she'll know."
"Hopefully."
As the front door shut, signalling Dad's departure, Astrid sighed. "Guess we're postponing that picnic."
I waddled up to her, doing my best to shrug.
She giggled. "That's cute."
I scowled. I sat down and turned my head away from her, letting her know exactly how I felt –
My wings flopped open.
She giggled again.
"You would be so cute!" cried OAstrid pulling on OHiccups cheeks.
I always hear people telling others to use their eyes more, or their ears more, or whatever assorted body part they wanted to talk about. What I don't hear is people saying to use your nose more, which is a real shame, because boy, we missed so much. Yesterday, I had been a little too wrapped up in events to notice, or maybe my brain was too busy adjusting to register the smells, but now? Wow.
I woke up to the smell of dew and sheepskin. The sheepskin was normal – what else would we make our blankets out of? Dew was an unusual scent. See, in geographic terms, Berk sits right on the Belt of No Summer, so I usually only ever saw dew as frozen beads of water. The wooden walls, damp but sturdy, carried a taste of mulch to it. Or maybe that was coming from outside; I had left my window open. Taking another breath, I could detect some of the wildflowers that grew outside my window, and with them, a cool edge of frost.
"Wow! I wonder if we could transform into a dragon!" shouted PFishlegs.
"You can but you would need some magic or something." Said Fear.
"Magic being here." Said Sapphie waving her hands around. "Just letting it to be known."
I yawned. I had no arms to stretch, but my wings filled in for them. They fell to my sides afterwards, like a loose piece of parchment. My bed sure was cozy today.
I hopped to the edge of the bed, and peered over. Odd. Where was Toothless?
Someone breathed behind me.
"Toothless! You know you're not allowed on the bed."
Toothless yawned. His teeth popped out of their sockets. He smacked his lips, and then warbled a good morning.
"Off, Toothless!" I planted my two front paws on Toothless and pushed. He stared at me curiously.
I backed off. Lowered my head and charged. Hah! Take that! Now he was moving . . .
But not from me. Toothless had rolled over to his side, but in a flash, he had hooked his paw under me and pulled me against his chest. He rolled onto his back with a very confused me sitting on top of him.
"Uh . . ."
He swatted me. Both of his paws were up, like raised fists in a fighting stance.
"Uh, no. Not happening, bud." I pounced on one leg, wrapping my own around it, and shoved it down with my chin. Toothless's leg bent under the force.
"Aww! That would be so cute to watch!" cried OAstrid.
"Wow she is acting OOC." Whispered Sapphie to Wolfy who shrugged and nodded.
More force then? You got it! I drew myself up high, and slammed down.
But despite my earlier success, this time I merely slid off the leg and landed face-first on his chest. A strong scent of salt water and smoke greeted me.
"You smell," I told him. When he smiled in answer, a wave of fishy air slapped me in the face. I wasn't as revolted as I would usually be.
There was something else. Something sharp and biting. Metallic. I traced that down to the prosthetic. I really, really should have felt bad about that, but a little part of me was proud that I had made an impact on Toothless's personal scent. I looked for further traces of me, and observed that there was a musky undertone to his scent, and that he smelled . . . cold. It was hard to describe, but it had that same make-your-nose-hairs-stiffen effect that a gust of wind did. I couldn't find anything else that resembled me, but I also wasn't in the habit of sniffing myself, so I had no idea what to look for.
What did I smell like? Suddenly, no other question had been so interesting. I turned, trying to press my nose against my shoulder, but couldn't quite reach –
But that's what tails were for. I eyed the loose limb hungrily. It was so long, there was no way I couldn't reach it.
However, there was the unfortunate fact that my tail, well, was permanently stuck to my body. When I swung around to catch it, it swung out of my way. I shook myself. I glanced over at Toothless, who seemed putout that I wasn't wrestling with him anymore.
"Just wait a second," I said to him. I crouched, bracing myself for the hunt. "Aha!"
I charged. My tail slipped out of the way at the last second, and I couldn't stop myself . . .
"Your acting just like Tuff!" giggled YRuffnut.
"Ahh!"
It was a long fall from the bed to the floor. I had enough time for my life to flash before my eyes. It was pretty boring. Unless running away and being shout at by angry people, and failing, exploding inventions were your thing. And even if they weren't, it was only boring up until the part where I met Toothless. Then, everything was great.
As I hung there, pondering, it became apparent that the floor hadn't gotten any closer for a few seconds. I looked up.
I sighed in relief. I might have failed at catching my tail, but someone else hadn't.
"Hiccup?"
I looked at the doorway. Huh. I must have looked funny: dangling over my floor, held up only by the tip of my tail.
"Alright, Toothless, I think you can put him down," Dad said.
Toothless did so. As in he let go and let me drop. I glared at the other Viking. Thanks, Dad. At least you had the courtesy to wince.
"You okay, Hiccup?"
I was going to say yes, but Dad walked forward at the same moment a breeze came through the open window and whoa, he reeked! Toothless's scent had been musky, but Dad's was really musky. I could smell the sheepskin he had slept with too, and a wonderful cologne of manly sweat and dirt-caked grime. At the same time, his smell was relaxing. There must have been something in it that signified family.
"Detail bro. Details." Said Wolfy.
"Do I really smell like that?" asked YStoick.
"What would I smell like?" asked YGobber.
"Hiccup?" He waved his hand in front of my eyes. I wondered what would happen if I snapped at it, but instead, I lifted my paw and pushed his away, giving him what I imagined to be a suave and indifferent stare.
Hey, I wonder what Astrid smelled like?
"That totally doesn't sound weird." Said Rumble.
"Nice talk and all, Dad, but I got things to smell!" I bounded past him and out of the house, pausing only to take a deep breath of some meat boiling over the fire. Still needed to grab breakfast at some point.
Berk was different from this angle. Houses rose like mountains. The sun behind them made giant shadows that hid their lower halves. The stone steps that ran down from my house to the village square were the same height as me, so I ended up walking down the grassy slope beside it. When I did get on stone again, my claws made little clicking sounds.
I breathed deeply. By far, the strongest smell in Berk was that of fish. No surprise there; we have a few all-you-can-eat buffets set up for the dragons. The other smells? Most I didn't recognize; others were ones that I had smelt when I was human, but much stronger.
It was then that I realized I had walked into the middle of Berk. And everyone was staring.
Well, here goes nothing.
People stared. I had already known that news of my transformation had spread like wildfire. No thanks to the twins, I bet. Odin knew that the best way to spread information around was to tell it to them in confidence. The dragons, on the other hand, didn't pay me much attention. Until I got close enough to smell. Then they all perked up, nostrils flared as they tasted the familiar scent that was not supposed to belong to a dragon.
Great, they were getting closer.
"Hi." I said.
I was now surrounded by dragons. Little Terrors, about my size, clung to the necks and bodies of the others. Thunderdrums and Gronckles formed a circle that kept me from fleeing; a Nightmare had managed to force its way through. The long necks of Zipplebacks rose over top of them. An unintentional growl left my throat. I was a person who enjoyed my personal space very much, thanks. Only Toothless and Astrid were allowed to invade it whenever they wanted. The dragons' scents were all intertwined, but I found that if I focused, I could isolate's one dragon's scent from the rest, the way you could choose to listen to one conversation while others were going on around you.
A hard snout dug into my flank. I whirled around, snapping at the dragon to tell him to quit it.
"I remember that happening to Toothless in the second movie!" said Sapphie.
Then the Nightmare poked me. I went up on my back legs trying to swat his claw. When my front fell back down, it was to land on the snout of a Gronckle, who shook himself to dislodge me. Before I could recover and stand up again, a Terror leapt on me.
"Come on, get off!" I complained as the Terror crawled all over me.
All my voice did was lure in another five of them.
My head hit the ground. Great.
My wings flopped open.
Then, the dragons stilled. They were all looking toward the Great Hall, even the Terrors on top of me.
A dragon yowled.
In a burst of barks and whines, the dragons exploded into the sky. Through the cloud of wings, I caught glimpse of a black creature bounding toward me. Not just any creature – a certain Night Fury. Toothless skidded to a stop beside me, snapping at and chasing off the last Terror, and then bumped me with his head.
I patted him as best as I could. "Thank you."
"It is him," I heard someone exclaim.
Yep. Showtime. I extended my wings. Attempted to. Didn't quite work the first time. I got them halfway out before I had to close them and then try again.
"There we go." I balanced as best as I could on my back legs. "Yes, everyone it's true: I'm a Night Fury. Don't really know how, don't really know when I'll turn back, so everyone's just going to have to deal with it. Uh, haven't been able to talk to dragons so far, so don't ask about that. I would also prefer if you didn't tease Astrid about her boyfriend being a dragon. Remember, I'm the chief's son, so you don't want to get on my bad side. Any questions?"
Everyone minus the Hiccups laughed.
"I got a question! Do you know if anyone can understand you?" yelled out PSnotlout.
Everyone just stared at me.
"Whoa, there!" Toothless had just come up behind me, and had nearly lifted me with his snout. "Careful, I'm still not used to this whole dragon-thing."
He got me off the ground, then. I curled up on top of his head, right between his ears. His scales were warm from the sun. Perfect.
"Oi! So this is where our dragon-boy has gotten off to."
"Hey, Gobber." The tip of my tail flicked as I said that. I swear I didn't tell it to do that.
"Well, this is a bit of a doozy, ain't it?" Gobber walked up to me and crouched so that we were eye-level. He carried a very strong stench that I bet matched the forge – as in molten metal and burning wood. I had to remind myself not to be grossed out because I probably smelt the same a good three days out of every week.
"Oh. So that's what I would smell like." Said YGobber. "And I have to say that is right, I bet you would smell like that."
"But a little less Gobber, I bathe." Teased YHiccup.
Gobber lifted my chin with his hook. Then tried to pry my mouth open, although I fought him on that. He did take the time to pluck at my tail, though.
"Are we absolutely sure this is Hiccup," Gobber asked, "and not just some poor, baby Night Fury?"
I lifted my paw and pointed at myself. A very Viking-ish and not dragon-ish move.
"Well, alrighty then."
A melodic voice floated into the midst of our one-sided conversation. "Believe me, I wish it wasn't true."
"Astrid!" I would have leapt to my feet, but Toothless was faster. His head whipped around fast, and I had to keep lying there in order to stay on. See, Toothless loved Astrid. In his eyes – and in my Dad's - she was as good as family.
"You too!"
He ran over to her with me bobbing precariously on his head, claws trying to find a hold. My whole body vibrated as Toothless hummed, responding to Astrid's scratching.
"Don't you look beautiful, today," I said to her. Her hair was radiant in the sunlight, and it was also making her eyes sparkle. She smelled nice too; there was none of that musk that followed Toothless, Dad and Gobber around. Plus, her voice . . . as a human I had never been able to hear all the little inflections and layers that made it. By the time I would be able to speak again, I would have a whole new set of compliments to dazzle her with.
Was this strange? Mulling over all the flattery that I, a dragon, could give her? As I said, I was a dragon, now. But mentally, I was definitely human, and the human side of me most definitely still considered Astrid my girlfriend.
"How are you feeling?" she asked me.
I nodded. "Good, good."
I heard and smelt them before I saw the other teens, and quickly scanned through each of their scents for future reference. It was then I finally noticed the pattern: the musk seemed to be following the males around. Guess that was how dragons determined gender.
"Aw, there's my little killer!"
Ruffnut descended. I backed away and some sharp noise – a squawk, I think – exploded from my chest. I had no idea what it was, or why I had done that, but Toothless suddenly snapped to attention. In one smooth move, he tipped his head so that I slid off, snatched me up in a wing, and deposited me between his front paws. He hunched over at the shoulders, wings curling forward and leaving only a small gap in front of me. I heard Ruffnut shuffle closer; Toothless shied away from the sound, teeth bared.
I looked up. "Toothless, what was that?"
Toothless ignored me. He glared at something, maybe Ruffnut.
"Wow. Um Thanks bud." Uttered PHiccup patting PToothless on the head.
Interesting.
I tried to make the sound again, but it didn't come out as loud or sharp as it did before. It caught Toothless's attention though. He cocked his head and made what I called his dok dok dok sound. Kind of like the sound you hear when you repeatedly hit a hollow tube of wood.
So I squawked again. Toothless cocked his head to the other side. I squawked, drawing him in closer.
By the fourth squawk, he was rubbing his cheek against my back and purring. A warm tongue dragged itself across my neck.
Whispers. When I looked up, Astrid stepped back from Ruffnut. She rolled her eyes, but there was a bright smile on her face.
"Fine," Astrid said. "I'll admit it: that was adorable."
I smiled in her direction. It was okay if Astrid said that.
"You totally don't do favoritism." Said Agent 101.
Hey, hold on a second. Had I just talked to Toothless? Okay, 'talked', since I had absolutely no idea what I had said, if anything. But his reaction to my squawking hadn't been like the befuddled reactions of the dragons yesterday.
Holy crap.
"Sorry."
I could speak to dragons.
. . . kind of.
"Well do you want to continue or read another or do something else?" asked Sapphie.
"Read another."
"Something else."
"Continue."
"Another."
"Another."
"Ok then another we shall and I know a good one." Said Sapphie. "This one is, 'sytnr til mótgørð.' Ok I can't say that but whatever. The summary is: 'Hiccup knows a lot of languages so, whenever he gets annoyed or frustrated at someone he just talks in another language to irritate them. Unfortunately, this time the teens are on the receiving end of his frustration.' I love this one, this is also completed sadly but it is only five chappies but we will still read it. And there is different languages it this so I will fail pronouncing them.
Chapter 1 French
"Wait French! Let me read it!" cried Wolfy snatching the laptop from Sapphie.
"Ok?"
Hiccup groaned in annoyance, glaring at the group in front of him. The twins, as usual, were fighting each other. Snotlout was flirting with Astrid who was twirling her axe in her fingers trying not to attack him. Fishlegs stood awkwardly between the two groups not sure what to do. Hiccup rubbed his head, frustrated.
"Guys" he tried only to be ignored
"Stop it guys!" He shouted again but still all but Fishlegs didn't hear him. This was beginning to frustrate him to no end. Grinning, he had an idea. Taking a deep breath he shouted
"silence!"
All the teens turned to look at him with looks of shock on their faces. "Hiccup what?"
"vous ne seriez pas tranquille."
"I can get tranquil." Said Sapphie.
"He has started!"
Hiccup grinned in response Astrid scowled "Hiccup why are you talking another language?"
"c'est amusant"
"Amusement?"
By this point the twins were looking confusedly at Hiccup and then to each other, trying to figure out what was going on, Fishlegs was looking rather helpless, Snotlout was looking irritated and Astrid was looking a bit murderous. Hiccup was finding it extremely amusing.
"Murderous?"
"Don't you dare try do it with us." Threatened OAstrid.
"Ok." Said OHiccup hands up in surrender. "Maybe." he whispered.
"Hiccup" Astrid growled
"quoi?"
"What are you doing Hiccup?" Fishlegs questioned. At that point Gobber walked in. "How are you guys doing?" He greeted walking up to them but stopped as he saw the looks on the groups faces. Glancing at the irritated and confused looking group to a pleased looking Hiccup, Gobber sighed.
"He's started talking in another language hasn't he."
"Deadpan." Said Agent 101.
"Yeah he has" Asrtid grumbled, glaring at Hiccup
"How did you know?" Fishlegs asked
"Can you get him to stop? It's irritating." Snotlout said.
Gobber sighed "that's the point." He said "if you annoy him, he'll start talking in another language to annoy you. He's started doing it ever since he began traveling. It angers Stoick to no end."
"Of course it does." Sighed OStoick.
"I'll be fine." Said OValka.
"Why would you?" asked OStoick.
"I have travelled and learnt many languages too." Replied OValka.
"Oh no." OStoick graoned
With a triumphant grin, Hiccup stretched "bien… Je dois y aller maintenant"
"What?" Hiccup began walking off "Je vais voler"
"Hiccup!"
"Where are you going?!"
"Hiccup."
"au revoir!"
"Hiccup!"
As Hiccup left, the group could only stare after him. Gobber, seeing Astrid murderous glare, grinned and spoke "Don't worry, he'll be back to speaking normally soon."
"ne comptez pas sur elle!" Was called back.
Astrid growled and chased after him. "Hiccup what did you say! Hiccup! Get back here!"
"jamais!"
Translations.
-vous ne seriez pas tranquille= you wouldn't be quiet
-c'est amusant= it's fun
-quoi?= what?
-bien... Je dois y aller maintenant= well... I need to get going now
-Je vais voler= I'm going flying
-au revoir= bye
-ne comptez pas sur elle!= don't count on it!
-jamais= never
"At least we know what he said." Said PFishlegs.
Chapter 2 Finnish.
"Nope can't read it." Said Wolfy.
"I can't."
"Anyone know."
"I do!" called out The Hiccups and Valkas.
"As expected. Maybe we should let them read it out." Said Agent 101.
So Wolf gave OValka the laptop to read.
"You know if I was chief..."
"Ugh"
"Hey, what're you using that tone for?"
"Snotlout I-"
"You think you're so clever and important now that you're so tall!"
"Thanks Snotlout." Said YHiccup.
"No, Snotlout, now lea-"
"No? Well I think you're lying mr-I-think-I'm-better-than-everyone-else-because-I-trained-dragons-and-are-now-no-longer-a-runt."
"That is mean!" called out Sapphie.
"Oh for the love of Thor, Snotlout, would you just leave me alone!"
Astrid glanced up from where she was feeding Stormfly and watched the two arguing cousins. A slight scowl crossed on her face.
"Idiot." She grumbled before going back to her work. Footsteps alerted her to the approaching presence. Stopping her work and looking up she spotted Fishlegs. He was walking towards her but his gaze kept flickering over to the pair.
"He's never going to learn is he?"
It wasn't really a question, but she answered anyway
"Nope."
They stood staring for a while.
"He's an idiot, isn't he."
"We established that a long time ago. We just didn't realise how much of one he was."
"Hey!"
They stood in silence again, watching the arguing duo walking through the village.
"Hey guys, what're you staring at?"
Ruffnut and Tuffnut approached them. Astrid grinned "we're watching Snotlout annoy Hiccup."
"What? Why would you- oh" Tuffnut broke off into a laugh, eyes darting over to Snotlout.
"Even we know not to do that!" Ruffnut added.
There was a pause as the group stared at Hiccup and Snotlout, before:
"Should we follow them?"
Tuffnut grinned "definitely."
They set off after the cousins, determined not to miss any of the following chaos.
"And then I'd do this so much better than you."
"Snotlout."
"What?"
"Would you just go away!"
"No."
Hiccup let out a cry of frustration and strode forward, his long strides keeping him ahead of Snotlout.
The watching teens smiled in amusement. Astrid grinned even more. "He's going to explode soon." At first, Hiccup's tendency to start talking in a different language irritated her unbelievably. However, as it began happening to her less and less, she managed to see the amusement in watching it happen to others.
Back with the two, their argument was in full swing, when suddenly Hiccup stopped for a second. Then, as quickly as he stopped, he'd turned around so he was facing Snotlout
"Menisitkö pois!" He yelled at the top of his lungs.
Snotlout froze, any retorts dying on his lips. He let out a week sounding "what?"
"Olet seurannut minua koko päivän! Miksi? Vain ärsyttääksesi minua?"
Snotlout stumbled back slightly. The others couldn't help but laugh.
Everyone started to laugh but the Snotlouts.
Hiccup's anger seemed to fade slightly, a small grin appearing.
"Koston aika"
Snotlout scowled "stop it."
"Ei missään nimessä"
Growling, Snotlout turned to walk off. Hiccup followed him.
"Minne olet menossa? Luulin että halusit keskustella"
"Hiccup."
"Mitä?"
"Go away!"
"I wish I could watch it." Giggled YAstrid.
"Miksi minun pitäisi?"
Snotlout shouted in anger and ran off. Hiccup watched him.
"Näkemiin Snotlout!"
His only response was an angry yell. Hiccup grinned even more.
"Nähdään harjoituksissa!"
The other teens were laughing at the unfortunate Snotlout.
"Definitely unfortunate." Teased PGobber.
"His face!" Ruffnut cried, bending over in laughter. Astrid turned to look from where she had been staring at the retreating Snotlout, to Hiccup.
"I wonder how long he's going to keep this up?" Fishlegs questioned. Astrid wondered too, she hoped he kept it up for a while, seeing Snotlout's face entertained her a lot.
"Hopefully for a while." She replied.
Hiccup, as if hearing their conversation, grinned even more and mumbled something.
"Teet tästä liian helppoa"
A week later, he still hadn't stopped.
"I would go nuts." Said Agent 101.

Chapter 3 Norwegian
"Ok OHiccup's turn to read!"
All he had wanted was a peaceful afternoon flight with Toothless to get away from Berk and all his responsibilities for a while but apparently that was too much to ask. He glanced irritably at the group behind him. He needed company or someone to look out for him, they had said. He sighed, rubbing his hand against his forehead.
Astrid caught his glare and smiled, steering Stormfly so that the dragon was almost touching wings with Toothless.
"So this is fun." She said trying to break the tension.
"Tension breaker." Called out Rumble.
A crash and a shout caught his attention before he could respond. He turned around to see that Ruffnut and Tuffnut had obviously tried something stupid again and were now plummeting towards the ground below them. He sighed as their Zippleback rescued them, rubbing his head again as the headache increased.
"Oh no. He's gonna blow." Said Fear.
"Yeah, unbelievably fun."
Behind him the twins continued to argue loudly.
Hiccup clenched his fists together, trying not to get too annoyed.
"He is." Said Agent 101.
More noise and shouts.
He flinched.
Crash! The twins and Snotlout fired, sending shots of fire zooming past his head.
His headache increased.
"Nearly." Said Rumble.
Astrid shot Snotlout and the twins a glare. "What'd you do that for?!"
"This is boring, we were just trying to make things interesting!" Snotlout shouted in response "Why can't we do something fun!?"
"Bit more." Urged Nerdy.
Hiccup cried in frustration and turned sharply to glare at Snotlout and the twins.
"Five." Said Rumble.
"Four." Said Fear.
"Three." Said Agent 101.
"Two." Said Wolfy.
"One." Said Nerdy.
"Boom." Said Sapphie.
"Enten holder du munn eller gå din veg" He growled.
Everyone silenced, realising what they had caused Hiccup to start doing. Snotlout and the twins stilled, silenced by the venom in Hiccup's voice.
"Tusen takk"
"Um, Hiccup?"
"Ja Fiskebein?"
"Fiskebein is Norwegian for Fishlegs." Said YValka.
Fishlegs paused slightly, before continuing as he noticed the lack of hostility in Hiccup's voice. "That looks like trader Johann's ship." He gestured down towards a small boat that looked pretty run down. The sails were ripped in lots of places and there was a lot of damaged to the wood.
Hiccup sighed again, 'great just what I need', he thought.
"Great." Said YTuff.
"Så mykje for fred og ro" He grumbled out loud, the other gave him strange looks. As they flew downwards towards the ship, Astrid called over to him. "I hate it when you do this."
Hiccup grinned "Nei set gjer du ikkje. Du løynande elskar det."
Astrid glared at him.
As they landed, Johann greeted them.
"Oh thank goodness you're here!" he cried "I was afraid I'd be stuck out here forever."
Hiccup jumped off Toothless. "Kva skjedde?"
"I- I- What? Master Hiccup?"
Most laughed at Trader Johann's reaction.
"Vart du angreipen?"
Astrid strode past Hiccup "Ignore him" she said glaring at Hiccup who grinned in response "he's just being stubborn."
"As stubborn as a yak the lad. Just like his father." Said OGobber.
"Eg er ikkje sta, eg har det bare litt gøy"
"Would you stop that!"
"Nei"
"Hiccup!"
"Kva? Eg gjer ikkje noko"
Johann could only stare at the arguing couple, completely lost as to what was going on.
"Arguing couple?" asked PStoick rising an eyebrow.
He looked towards the other four Vikings. Snotlout caught his gaze and shrugged, not wanting to explain what was happening and why his cousin was suddenly making no sense.
"Uansett, Johann, kva skjedde?" Hiccup broke away from his argument with Astrid.
"Hiccup he can't understand you, none of us can."
"Eg veit"
"uhg" Astrid cried in frustration "can't we just have a normal conversation?"
"Det er normal, du bare forstår ikkje min del"
Astrid glared at him, narrowing her eyes "If you just made some stupid, sarcastic response-"
"He did, didn't he." Said YAstrid.
She was interrupted by Fishlegs.
"What happened to your ship, trader Johann?"
Johann snapped out of his stunned state. "Oh it was such a massive storm! My ship tried her best but couldn't do much against those giant waves. A big as a mountain they were!"
Hiccup opened his mouth to reply but Astrid interrupted him. "I guess we could give you a lift back and you can repair your boat back on Berk." Johann nodded and smiled "Oh thank you!"
Not long, and many tales from Johann, later the group arrived back in Berk. Gobber, having been the first to notice the group, greeted them as they landed.
"Johann's tales are too painful to stand." Said YHiccup, shivering at the thought.
"How'd the trip go?"
Hiccup, being the closest replied "oh it was a lot of fun."
Gobber gave him a look, seeing the rather smug look on Hiccup's face and noting the rather irritated group behind him. "Okay, well I better go help Johann then." He replied and quickly left, guessing what had happened on the journey. Astrid came up from behind Hiccup "are we finally going to have a normal conversation now?"
There was a pause. Hiccup grinned, took a step away from Astrid and the others and turned with a confused expression on his face.
*Deadpan*
"Eg veit ikkje kva du snakkar om" he replied innocently turning and running off at Astrid's murderous glare. "Vi sjåast seinare!"
"Hiccup, get back here!"
"Kvifor vil eg gjera det!?"
Translations.
Enten holder du munn eller gå din veg= either shut up or go away.
Tusen takk= Thank you.
Ja Fiskebein? = Yes Fishlegs?
Så mykje for fred og ro= So much for peace and quiet.
Nei set gjer du ikkje. Du løynande elskar det. = no you don't. You secretly love it.

Vi sjåast seinare! = See you guys later!
Kvifor vil eg gjera det!? = Now why would I do that!?
Chapter 4 Dutch
"So this and one more then we will watch something." Said Sapphie. "So now YValka will read now."
"Dit is niet belangrijk, je hebt mij er niet voor nodig."
"Wow already he snapped?" asked PGobber.
"Hiccup."
"'Ik bedoel waarom denk je dat dit een goed idee was?"
"You'll give it a try?"
"Waarom zou ik dat willen?"
"So that's a yes?"
"How did that even sound like a yes!?" cried the Hiccups.
Astrid, Fishlegs, Snotlout, Ruffnut and Tuffnut paused in their conversation and turned to look at the group of Vikings that were making their way through the village following after a rather disgruntled looking Hiccup.
"Hoe kon dat ooit als een ja klinken!?"
Astrid blinked, what happened now? She knew that the older Vikings had been pushing Hiccup into taking on more responsibilities as he was the chief's son and that he wasn't very happy about it. However she had never seen Hiccup end up getting this annoyed over it.
"I wonder what's going on." Fishlegs said.
"Well whatever it is, he's clearly not happy."
"Yeah, and no one seems to get it." Ruffnut laughed.
The rest of the group nodded and watched as Stoick, oblivious to Hiccups displeasure, continued happily trying to talk to his son.
"What we've asked you to do is very important Hiccup." One Viking in the group spoke up.
Hiccup glared at him over his shoulder "Belankrijk, mijn voet" He replied sarcastically which, again, the adults missed.
"Hiccup!" shouted the Valkas.
"What I'm fine with it." Said theHiccups.
"I knew you'd understand!"
"Yeah now stop walking away so we can talk properly."
Astrid couldn't help herself and found herself laughing at the group. The other teens eventually joined her, unable to stop themselves.
Wiping a tear from her eye, Astrid spotted Gobber at the back of the group. He didn't seem to be trying to convince Hiccup of anything and looked amused at it all himself.
"Gobber!"
Astrid called over. Gobber heard and walked over to her.
"What's up Astrid?"
"What's going on?" She questioned.
Gobber smiled. "They're trying to convince Hiccup to do a job for them. Keep saying it's important and will help him become chief and what not. Of course Hiccup's not too happy about it, not that they can tell."
"What is the job?" asked YStoick.
"I dunno." Said Wolfy and Sapphie shrugging.
Astrid laughed again "how can they not tell?"
"Well there is the slight language barrier."
Both burst out laughing.
"You know," Gobber said, trying to hold back his laughter "it's a new record this time. Didn't even last 5 minutes before he snapped." They laughed as they watched the events unfold in front of them.
"Wow not even five minutes, record." Said OGobber, laughing.
"We could get this sorted a lot quicker if you were talking the same language Hiccup."
"Het zou niet gebeurd zijn als je naar mij had geluisterd in de eerste plaats."
"Maybe he's so excited that it's made him talk like this!"
"Do I sound excited!?" cried the Hiccups.
"Klink ik enthousiast!?"
"Yeah! That's the spirit Hiccup."
Hiccup sighed and grumbled something under his breath.
"Okay maybe not excited." One Viking said in response to Hiccup's now obvious look of irritation.
"Okay son, what is wrong?"
"Zoek het zelf uit."
"Are you happy?"
"Sad?"
"A bit."
"Grumpy?"
"Sorta."
"Depressed?"
"Not really."
"Hungry?"
"I dunno."
"Irritated?"
"Wow finally got it."
"Wow je bent er zelf achter gekomen."
"You're irritated?" Stoick asked in surprise.
"Surprised much."
"Hoe ben je er achtergekomen?"
"Why?"
"Je zou het weten als je zou luisteren"
"Stop this Hiccup."
"No."
"'Maar je luisterd nooit, of wel? Kan niet eens merken dat ik dit niet eens wil doen!"
"Hiccup."
"Ik zou gewoon willen gaan ontdekken."
Hiccup paused, turned around and glared at Stoick. Then sighed, turned back around and walked off, calling for Toothless.
"Ik ga een tijdje weg." He called to Stoick as Toothless came bounding round the corner.
"Hiccup where are you going!"
"Doei!"
The duo shot off into the air leaving a confused, and now slightly annoyed, Stoick and a pack of clueless Vikings behind him.
Behind them, Astrid, Fishlegs, Snotlout, Ruffnut, Tuffnut and Gobber collapsed into each other, laughing at all that had happened.

Chapter 5 German
"Ok last one then a video." Said Sapphie, "YHiccup will read next."
"Ich hasse dich jetzt, Alvin."
"Alvin?!"
Said Viking glared down at the boy who stood, hands bound, in front of him. Thinking back, it probably hadn't been the best idea to kidnap the boy from his own house in the early hours of the morning- Alvin had discovered that the boy was in no way someone who enjoyed getting out of bed before he wanted- but, if Alvin was being brutally honest, he was getting rather desperate in his efforts to capture the boy, not that Alvin would admit that out loud of course. This had been the only time the boy's dragon had been out of the way and not with him. After capturing the boy, the usual sarcastic and witty resorts had been unleashed and Alvin, who had been expecting them, had managed to ignore them. That had been his first mistake. Dissatisfied that he wasn't getting to Alvin, Hiccup had decided the best thing to do was to be a bit more creative. And by creative, the boy meant talking in a completely different language.
"What in great thundering Thor is Alvin doing with my son!" demanded PStoick, PValka and YValka.
Alvin sighed, rubbing his hands across his face, his temper wearing thin. Ignoring the sentence he couldn't for the life of him understand, Alvin continued to demand what he wanted from the boy.
"If you ever want to see your home again, boy, you will train these dragons for me!" He shouted, gesturing to the groups of dragons that were crowded in separate cages around them. Hiccup looked at him, then to the dragons and finally back to Alvin. He shook his head.
"Sie haben mich vorher gefragt und Ich hab schon nein gesagt. Ich verändere meine antwort nicht."
"You will talk properly to me!"
"Und außerdem funktionieren Ihre Pläne nie. Ich werde schließlich entkommen."
Alvin growled.
"Hoffentlich bald. Ich möchte wieder schlafen."
"You will listen to me!"
Hiccup glared at Alvin "Dar jemand beschlossen hat es wäre eine so tolle Idee mich so früh auf zu wecken"
"Wow he seems ticked." Said Nerdy.
Alvin stepped towards the boy, raising his fist threateningly "you will do as I ask Hiccup." He growled.
"Nein."
"Or do you want me to lock you up again."
"Tolle arbeit mit der Originalität, Alvin."
This continued for a while, Alvin growing increasingly infuriated with each foreign sentence spoken from Hiccup's mouth.
"You will-"
"Nein."
Many laughed at this.
"Train these dra-"
"Ich hab schon gesagt, es wird nicht passieren."
"-gons! Arg!" Alvin cried in frustration, throwing his hands into the air and storming off. He was about to yell an order to his men when he was interrupted by a crash as the rest of Berks teens came hurtling through a tunnel.
Everyone started laughing.
"Tuffnut!" Astrid shouted "Would you just listen for once in your life!"
"Um. Is that a trick question?" asked the Tuffs.
Tuffnut was, undoubtedly, about to make some kind of retort when he was stopped by the fact that Alvin was marching towards the group, dragging Hiccup along behind him.
"Alvin give Hiccu-" Astrid stopped mid sentences as Alvin threw Hiccup towards her.
"Take the annoying runt back!" he shouted, then turned and stormed off in a huff, grumbling under his breath. Astrid watched confusedly at the retreating Outcasts back before turning her attention back to the grinning Hiccup who was stood next to her. Her eyes narrowed.
"Hiccup what did you do?"
"Yeah how come he looked so angry?" Fishlegs questioned.
Hiccup held up his hand to silence them, grinned even more and turned to look at where Alvin had disappeared round the corner.
"Tschüss, Alvin! Mir hat's Spaß gemacht!"
Everyone was laughing so much they were struggling to breathe.
There was a cry of anger that was quickly followed by "get the hell off my island!"
*Laughing*
The group of teens, save for Hiccup, found themselves sympathising with Alvin. Dealing with Hiccup in foreign language mode was not something anyone wanted to have to deal with, especially when he was sleep deprived.
"He is quite th-" said YGobber before someone, *Cough* The Hiccups *Cough*, threw a cushion at him.
"Was that really necessary?"
"Completely."
Hiccup's grin never faded "no, but I enjoyed it."

Wolfy has stated that Wolf Crew will have 8 main people so anyone who joins after the eighth will be ghosting members. You will only appear in some chappies. While the main 8 will stay for the rest of the story at will. Ghosting members will be PMed whenever by some other members if they want to join in a certain chappie/s.
Well not much else but I had posted this chappie quite late as it is like 10 something PM over here.
