"Shall We Start Preparing"

Hiccup and Stoick was once again having an awkward breakfast, the first time they had in years. Well, awkward for Hiccup since he still couldn't get over the fact that his father was ok about the whole 'taking Astrid's virginity before the whole wedding' thing.

"Son…" Stoick suddenly said in a serious tone "It's time…"

"Time? Time for what?" Hiccup asked confusingly

"It's time to begin the wedding traditions of course!" Stoick said as he stood from his seat and walked towards his son "First things first, get a sword from our ancestors!"

Hiccup shook his head, trying to see if something was hindering him from hearing right.

"Uhmm… dad? Can you repeat that? I think I heard it wrong" Hiccup said unsurely "Please tell me you're not making me go grave robbing"

"Of course not!" Hiccup sighed in relief "The sword belonged to Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the First, so it technically belongs to us!"

Hiccup groaned "But dad, that sounds horrible! I mean, who in their right mind would go down there and steal a dead guy's sword?" Hiccup shouted hysterically

"I did" Stoick said proudly, completely missing Hiccup's subtle insult.

"But da-"

"No buts!" Stoick cut him off as he grabbed Hiccup's arm and started dragging him outside "The others are already there waiting for us to begin"

"Can I at least bring Toothless?" Hiccup rolled his eyes, there was no point in reasoning when his father was this excited about something

Stoick sighed as he let go of Hiccup's arm "Fine, get that overgrown lizard and let's go"

Hiccup went back inside and walked towards the fireplace where Toothless was still fast asleep.

"Toothless…" Hiccup shook Toothless' head but the night fury just jerked Hiccup's hand away "Come on bud, I need you" Toothless' eyes fluttered open and he stared annoyingly at the human that just woke him "Morning bud… Listen, dad is making me go to my great grandfather's grave and I want you to come with me" Toothless just gave him a deadpan look before closing his eyes again "I'll give you two baskets of fish for breakfast" Hiccup bargained.

And so, Hiccup Stoick and Toothless started walking towards the gravesite. Stoick had a stoic face (no pun intended), Hiccup was tired and exasperated look and Toothless looked like he was having fun looking at the scenery around him. This was the first time he was going from one place to another in a leisure pace so he was soaking everything to memory. Toothless looked at Hiccup and noticed his best friend didn't look happy. Toothless, being the way he was, tried to do something about it.

While Stoick and Hiccup continued walking, Toothless suddenly stopped and positioned himself in a pouncing position. Hiccup didn't notice since he was preparing for a conversation he was going to have with his father. As Hiccup raised his left leg, a force suddenly lifted him up from the ground and on instinct he hold on to the black object that carried him from the ground.

"Dad! Help! I'm being kidnapped!" Hiccup shouted hysterically as he shut his eyes tight. Instead of helping, Stoick just pinched the bridge of his nose and groaned.

"Hiccup, open your eyes son…" Stoick droned

"A-are you sure?! What if I'm high up in the air?!" Hiccup was having trouble holding on the object since it was thrashing around. Because of this, he didn't realize that he never left the ground.

Stoick just watched as Toothless ran around as Hiccup clung to the saddle on Toothless' back.

"Hiccup… just open your eyes please"

Hiccup gulped as he slowly opened an eye. He noticed that he was still being tossed around but the next thing he noticed was that, to his embarrassment, he was still on the ground. He opened both of his eyes and looked down at the object that took him. To his further embarrassment, it was his best friend that he was currently riding on. Hiccup smiled sheepishly at his dad, who only shook his head at his son's antics. Sometimes Stoick forgot that his son was still a teenager.

"So dad… why are we doing this so early? I mean, we still got three weeks before the wedding" Hiccup started hoping his father would forget what happened earlier.

"Because after you take the sword out from the grave, you will have to start on fixing it." Stoick answered honestly.

Hiccup nodded in understanding "I see…"

"And because you only got less than a month to get your fiancé a morning gift"

"Morning gift? What's that?"

Stoick smiled knowingly while he patted Hiccup's back "You'll find out in a few days"

Hiccup was about to ask again when he hear someone call his name "Hiccup! I almost thought you would never come!" Snotlout said as he balanced a shovel on his hand.

"And miss my chance in showing you off?" Hiccup jabbed as he took the shovel from Snotlout

"Hey!" Snotlout glared at him but smiled nonetheless "You're just lucky that your dad got Astrid's dad first!"

"Sure Snotlout… It's not like my relationship with Astrid before dragon training has nothing to do with it" Hiccup said dryly as he studied the dirt below him. Stoick told him before they left the house that he was the only one going to dig and get help from no one. He rubbed his hands together before taking hold the shovel and started digging.

While Hiccup was digging, he encountered a giant boulder sitting above the grave. Hiccup glared at Stoick who was trying to look innocent but failed miserably. Hiccup sighed. It was a good thing that he didn't Stoick about his left arm or this would be more difficult than it was now.

Hiccup pretended that he was having trouble in lifting the boulder to show to Stoick and the other witnesses that he wasn't that strong. After removing the boulder, Hiccup removed the top cover of the coffin and almost gagged at the skeleton of his great grandfather. Even after the decades of being buried, he was still stealing from a corpse. Hiccup took the sword and handed it to Snotlout while he once again covered the hole.

After that, he retrieved the sword from Snotlout and examined it. Even after all the years it was buried, it still looked like it could stab someone hard enough to kill him. Stoick smiled proudly at Hiccup and told him to go to the forge and fix the sword. Stoick also said not to hurry since he still had two weeks to fix it. Hiccup was thankful for that information since he was going to use that to study it and make it more appealing.

Hiccup decided that since he brought Toothless with him then they were going to fly around Berk for a while before going to the forge and started working on the sword. Hiccup wasn't the only one excited about flying around Berk because the moment Hiccup told Toothless about it, he started running around and licking Hiccup's face.

When Toothless and Hiccup flew off, they had this feeling of contentment. Like it was the best feeling in the world. Hiccup made Toothless do some tricks like diving, spinning, zigzagging and other stuff. He really missed this. For the past few days he was busy trying to get that dagger. He crossed seas, fought enemies, made rivals, found new friends and survived while being harassed by headstrong blonde teenaged girls.

Hiccup and Toothless flew around Berk for about 2 hours before they both grew tired and hungry. Hiccup landed near their house and fed him two buckets of fish just like he promised. After consuming the fish, Toothless returned to his place near the fireplace and slept while Hiccup ate some bread.

After eating, Hiccup headed towards Astrid's house. When he got there, Grudge greeted him and told him that Astrid wasn't at home. He said that Ruffnut came earlier and took Astrid with her. Hiccup only sighed and hoped that they were not doing something to cause them trouble. Grudge reassured him by telling him that Astrid was responsible enough to not take things too far.

Hiccup knew better. Astrid may be responsible but she was also a risk-taker. She would rather get scolded for doing something stupid than sitting around and doing nothing. After Hiccup said that, a giant explosion occurred and based from where the smoke came from, Hiccup could clearly see that it originated from the Dragon Academy…

Great…

AN: Sorry for the short chapters but I'm having a writer's block at the moment and I wish it would go away. Oh, and I'm being lazy again. Enjoy and Review!
