"And here's where you'll all be sleeping," Alex said opening the door for the girl's room which had nine beds set in a circle all with supper soft looking mattress' and snow white sheets and super puffy pillows.

"Bathrooms through there - don't worry we do have hot water," Alex said pointing to a side door while the girls stared in amazement.

"Extra blankets in here," she continued opening a cupboard showing a few more blankets. "Nightlights in case you want them are in here too," she said spotting Sophie and smiling "Along with night clothes and some new ones for the morning if you want to change. Um... Anything else just pull on this rope," she said gesturing to a rope by the door "And someone will come and see you."

"Thank you Alex," Emily Jane said smiling "I'm sure we'll have a lovely night here. Although I wouldn't mind having some hot-chocolate to help me get to sleep, would you girls?"

"Yay!" Sophie cheered clapping her hands.

"Yes please," Cupcake and Pippa said nodding.

"I suppose it will be alright," Tooth said her 'thinking face' on "But can you do mine with as little sugar as possible please?" she asked getting a nod.

"What's 'Hot-Chocolate'?" Merida, Rapunzel, Astrid and Ruffnut asked together having never of heard of this before.

"You've never had hot-chocolate?" the kids asked eye wide shocked.

"No," was their answer.

"Well we have to fix that then don't we?" Emily Jane said taking charge. "Alex, may we ask of you to fetch us nine mugs of hot-chocolate - one with no sugar, and some midnight like snacks?"

"Right away Emily Jane," Alex said curtsying a bit smiling then looked to the teens "Just wait, you'll love it." she said and left.

Down the corridor a bit Dexter was opening doors showing the adults, North, Sandy, Bunny, Elinor and Fergus, Richard and Sarah, and Stoick that they were all bedrooms.

"Each room has a king sized double bed," he began "An en-suite bathroom with hot water if you prefer that. A cupboard with spare blankets, and new outfits if you choose them come morning, and a rope by the door to call to someone downstairs in case you require anything. Anything else?" he asked looking to each adult a smile on his face.

"I'm sure we'll be fine," North said his coat already over his arm "Thank you." he said nodding the others saying their thanks too.

"Just one thing," Fergus asked stopping the boy from leaving. "Where are tha boys?" he asked a deep farther like look on his face.

"Not on this floor sir, don't worry," Dexter said knowing why the man was asking. "And we have people up and watching the palace inside and out all night long. They wont make it to their room. That is if they can get out of theirs..."

"What do you mean?" Richard asked raising an eyebrow.

"Let's just say Your Highness," Dexter said smirking "Buddy's not all rainbows and sunshine. Especially when it comes to keeping brats like that Snotlout away from girls. No offense or anything Chief Stoick," he cut in bowing slightly to the Viking who showed he couldn't care less by just shrugging.

And with that he bowed to the group and turned and left, leaving the adults to go into their rooms and settle down for the night.

(*)(*)(*)

Zack was leading the boys down a corridor that was a floor above the one the girls and adults were on so there won't be any... disturbances during the night, and came to the room.

"Here we are," he said opening the door and let the boys in showing them the thirteen different beds lined up into two rows against two opposite sides of the room's walls.

"Bathroom's in there," Zack said pointing to the door to the left "We do have hot water don't worry. Um... spare blankets in the cupboard, along with night time outfits and a change of clothes for the morning if you want them. Want anything else during the night, just pull on this rope and someone will come see what you want."

At this Snotlout's and Tuffnut's smiles grew as they nodded to each other, making Buddy, Hiccup and Eugene worried slightly.

"Anything else I can get you?" Zack asked looking around.

"Not that we can think of at the moment Zack thank you," Buddy said as he began to take off his armor "If there is, or isn't, it depends I'm sure we'll find a way to tell someone."

"I got something you can get us," Snotlout said catching Zack before he left "A room closer to the girls. I mean come on... When is this opportunity going to come up again? Don't you lot want to know what they do when the lights go out?" he ask turning to the teen section of the room, avoiding Eugene's, Hiccup's and Buddy's narrowing eyes and weapon armed looks.

"You can go Zack, thank you," Buddy repeated nodding waiting until the door was shut. "Listen up you brat, the reason why we're a floor above them is so that doesn't happen. And if I find you and/or this idiot," he said pointing to Tuffnut "Leave this room to go and find them yourselves... Well you're going to have more than just two sets of angry parents coming after you with swords and armies," he said coming closer to the boy with each step, backing him against the wall.

"Because you'll have to deal with me, Jack and Mother Nature herself. And I doubt you want to do that. Right? So... Are you going to leave this room?" Buddy asked pulling back and crossing his arms.

All Snotlout could do was have wide eyes as he shook his head fear written on his face.

"Good," Buddy said going back to the bed he had claimed and continued to take his armor off paying no attention to the kids until they were right next to him. "Yes?"

"Canyouteachushowtodothat?" the Triplets, Jamie, Claude, Caleb, and Monty all cried out together eagerness in their eyes "Pleeeaaase?"

"Maybe tomorrow," Buddy said yawning "For now, bed."

(*)(*)(*)

"THIS IS AMAZING!" Astrid, Ruffnut, Rapunzel and Merida all cried together once they took their first sip of their first ever mug of hot-chocolate, all having gotten chocolate mustaches.

"Told you," the children said coming out of theirs with the same look.

"Oh we have got to get the Chief to see if we can get Trader Johan to bring us this the next time he comes to Berk, Astrid," Ruffnut said beaming taking another sip.

"That might be along wait then Ruffnut," Emily Jane said. "You see you'll need cocoa powder to make this, and that comes from the cocoa bean, which takes ages to grow and only grows in warm places that's ages away from Berk."

"Oh..." Ruff said deflating a bit at hearing the news.

"But..." she said getting up and going over to the rope "That doesn't mean you have to miss out on this."

With that she pulled the rope and within five minutes there was a knock on the door. "Yes Emily?" the girl from before, when they first arrived (Snow), asked beaming.

"Can you bring up three large tubs of cocoa powder, please Snow? Oh and the recipe to good mug of hot-chocolate please?" Emily asked smiling.

"Right away Miss," Snow said curtsying and leaving.

"Now, while she's doing that," Emily said coming back to her bed and getting comfy "Who want's to tell some stories before we go to sleep?"

(*)(*)(*)

In the boys room everyone was just nodding off to sleep, not really having anything to stay up to do or for. Well except for Snotlout and Tuffnut.

Sleeping in next-to-each-other beds the two viking teens nodded to each other and as quietly ask they could slipped out of bed.

"Ok so what first?" Snotlout asked forgetting all about Buddy's threat from earlier "Rope or girls?"

"The girls," Tuff answered "We can can mess with the rope later."

Quietly the began to leave the room but just as they were reaching for the door handle the light switched on and woke everyone up and they all began to look around to see what was wrong.

"You two had better be there only to get some more blankets," Buddy's voice called making the vikings turn to him and come face to face with two notched up arrows ready to fire.

"Er... Yeah," Snotlout said nodding trying to be his brave self "Yeah of course we were," he said opening the cupboard and pulling out said objects."

"But I thought we OW!" Tuffnut said bending over slightly arms around his waist a confused look turned to Snotlout which grew as he pushed him back to bed.

"Snotlout," Hiccup said yawning and pushing himself up "I thought we already said to you two not to see them..." he said getting a good idea what they were really doing.

"Which is why we were getting blanket's Hicc-up," Snotlout said getting back under the covers and spreading the blanket over the top of the bed.

"Yeah right," Eugene said getting up and coming over "And i didn't team up with the Stabbington Brothers back in Corona for my own selfish gain," he said the sentence overflowing with sarcasm.

"Huh?" the younger boys asked ears opening back up now they were back to being fully awake.

"Well..." Eugene said rubbing his neck looking around at everyone.

"Go on Eugene," Hiccup said getting comfy again. "We'll need someway to get them back to sleep."

"Ok, but first..." He said going to the cupboard and pulling out an electric lantern turning it on and nodding Buddy to switch the light off and set it in the middle of the room inviting the kids over, as if it were a campfire.

"This... is the story of how I died..." he began getting worried looks from the children "But don't worry it's actually a really fun story and the fact is it isn't mine." he said speedily truing to calm them down. "This story is about a girl named Rapunzel and it starts with the sun..."

o0o

"The... (snore...)" Eugene said looking around to see that his audience had gone to sleep as well everyone else aside from Buddy.

"Well that's a fine way to show they liked the story," Eugene said getting up and began to put the boys back into their beds.

"You know just because they fell asleep doesn't mean your story is boring," Buddy said coming over to help. "It was the idea remember?"

"I know," Eugene said taking Monty's glasses off. "So... why aren't you asleep?"

"Elemental Spirits don't have to sleep as much as humans or regular spirits do, Seasons even less so," Buddy explained putting Jamie back to bed. "The reason being," he said knowing Eugene would ask this "Is that the world's seasons and weather is always changing... Meaning we need to be there to make it happen."

"I thought it had something to do with the angle of the sun and position it is in it's orbit?" Eugene said getting back to his bed, taking the lantern with him and setting it on his bedside table.

"Please... We've been doing it long before that theory even came up," Buddy said returning to his bed and his wood carving, which looked like it was going to be a swan once it was finished.

He expected a response from the former thief but didn't get one, as when he looked up to see what was wrong, he saw he was asleep.

"And with that I think I shall go see Jack for a while," he said leaving his armor and only taking a small knife, not a lot can happen seeing as to where they are, but he just wanted something, just in case, and left the room.
