AN: Ok, I am back with another chapter everyone! Hopefully this chapter is long... If not, daum im sorry! But also im working on more other HTTYD stories, maybe you guys could check them out? Lawl. Well i guess ill just uh... Shut up and let you read the goddaum story already. Well bai bai! *waves*
"Ok, well thats all for now. We are going to take a short break. You know to have a breather." Ally turns around to see that some of the vikings were already talking to each other about the movie while some were staring at the dragons. "ok then.." Ally turns back to the two teens.
"So, Hiccup... Astrid. How you liking the future?" she asked smiling at them. Astrid looks over at Hiccup to see him staring at the talk guy named Rider. She then looks back at Ally, "I thought its going amazing so far." she smiled.
"Glad i beat the twins and all. Also man did i change!" she explained. Ally giggles at her statement of herself and nods. "Yup you changed alot, at least your looks did. Grow your hair longer a bit. Changed of clothes. But you still have your uh... festy personality." Astrid looks up.
"Right... Rider." ally glances over to Rider, which nods in responds. Ally then looks over to Hiccup, she walks over to him and leans forward so shes almost his height. "Hiccup? What do you think." Hiccup snaps over of his thoughts and stumbles backwards falling over Toothless.
"W-what?" he asked, "Ouch." he added. Ally laughes causing him to look up right at her, "Oh man Hiccup your funny.." She walks over to him and gladly hands him her hand. Which of course he took. Standing up back straight Ally asked him again, "What you think of it so far?"
Hiccup did the ohhh- faced and blushes. "I-I thought it was good so far." turning to Astird. "Congrats on winning the race mi'lady." Astrid blushes at his comment and smiles. "Thanks... Babe." "Oh and uh... You looked uh... erm... b-beautiful Astrid." he stutters to her.
Astrid gasped at that, and punched his arm. "Owww! What in the world was that-" Astrid then kisses him and moves her bangs out of her eyes, which didnt work when they fell right back down. "T-thanks Hiccup." Hiccup then did his goofy smiles which was secretly one of the reasons why she liked him.
Ally smiles at the couples little chat but then turns her full attention to one of the teen boys that was on the dragons side, his name... Fishlegs. "Yo.. Fishlegs." Ally yelled out getting all the teens attention. "Huh? Oh uh... n-no..." he stutters getting smiles but at the same time getting glares.
"Fishlegs! You made it on this side... How does it feel?" Ally asked walking over to him. Fishlegs didnt know what to say back, becasue he was getting freaked out by the glares from Snotlout, Ruffnut and Tuffnut. "Really Fish?! Your on there side." Snotlout screamed at him. "with the DRAGONS!
Fishlegs flinches at the yell from him, and looked down getting depressed. "Hey! Snotass, you dont say that to him. Must i remind you... You were also on a dragon idiot!" Ally screamed back defending Fishlegs. "Ha! Yea right, id never go on... on that." Points to 'his' dragon. Ally glares at him.
"Idiot" she mutters to herself, rubbing Fishlegs back she smiles, "Dont listen to him, hell come around." she says, Fishlegs looks up and wips his tears away. "I must say Fishlegs.. How come your over here?" she smirks, which she already knows the answer but still asked anyways.
"I-i dont know... I uh... mermonies came into my head. And will.. I realized that dragons arent back." Ally nods and gets up, "Why dont you come sit next to us, oh and dont forget about Meatlug." fishlegs nods and walks over to were Hiccup and Astrid was.
"Who new showing them to future and not the past could get there memories back." Rider tells Ally. "Becasue i said so. Plus who wasnt to watch the Past.. When the future is better." Ally grins at Rider. She then skips off before Rider could make a comment, which he ended up sighing.
Ally standing back onto the stage she points up to Toothless which he knew what she wanted him to do. Doing a plasma blast again, he got everyones attention. "Ok everyone. I think this is enough of a break will get. Lets get back to the movie!" Ally explained hoping off the stage and sitting in between Rider and Hiccup.
Tucked into his riding position, HICCUP appears to be part of TOOTHLESS. They dip, roll and dive, over a sea teeming with hunderdrums, pulling off daring maneuvers with hone refinement, making them seem effortless.
HICCUP Yeah!
They jackknife, heading skyward, rolling and tumbling through the ethereal cloud-scapes and joining high-flying Timberjacks as they soar in formation. Hiccup is bound head-to-toe in a snug, aerodynamic flight suit - an asymmetrical, functional design of leather and articulated plates. It has an air of Viking bike leather.
HICCUP (CONT'D) What do you think, bud? Wanna give this another shot?
Toothless grumbles in protest.
HICCUP (CONT'D) Toothless! It'll be fine.
"Toothless?... That means-" Hiccup was cut off by Ally who was starting to laugh.
"What is he going to do?" Tuff asked his sister, "I dont know? Its not like i can read his mind idiot." she answered back
Ally turns her face to Hiccup who was leaning forward having a big grin on his face, he finally realized Rider is IN FACT him. Slow right? I know.
Stoick on the another hand didnt know who it was, but was for some reason concern for that young man. Like something was telling him that that man is doing something stupid and you going to get upset or something like that. "What is Rider doing?" Stoick asked himself watching what Riders going to do.
Astrid eyes widen realizing what her boyfriend was going to do, mouth slowly opening she looks back to Hiccup in person to Hiccup on the screen.
With a click of a lever, he LOCKS the pedals in the flared tail position. Hiccup then unhooks himself from the saddle.
HICCUP (CONT'D) Ready?
Toothless SNORTS unenthusiastically. Suddenly, Hiccup SLIDES OFF of Toothless, peeling away from him like a skydiver from a plane, YELLING as he plummets. Toothless dives after him. They spiral through the air, faceto-face.
Astrid gasped at what Hiccup just did, "AH! WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU DOING!" she screamed outloud getting everyones attention.
Toothless is having fun, despite himself. Hiccup slips his forearms through a pair of tucked leather flaps... and YANKS, unfurling SHEETS OF LEATHER as he extends his arms. They catch the wind, SNAPPING OPEN like WINGS... and sending him GLIDING - out of control, at first, then
stabilizing. The turbulence buffets his flight suit heavily. But he's flying! Toothless unfolds his wings, too, catching up with Hiccup. The freedom is palpable. Hiccup and Toothless are, for the moment, the same. Feeling the same rush of adrenaline. Independently together. They PLUNGE past cloud formations, splitting apart then crossing paths again. Toothless launches fireballs ahead of Hiccup, boosting him higher with the expanding heat bursts.
HICCUP (CONT'D) This is amazing!
Everyone turns back to the screen watching what the young man was talking around. He looked so free... Of course he was FLYING! But he just looked so free, so amazing. All the vikings were walking how the young man was flying and the dragon flying right next to him. not hurting him nor attacking him. Some smiled at it others were still in shock but still hated the dragons.
A cloud layer washes past, exposing a towering ROCK FORMATION, dead ahead.
HICCUP (CONT'D) No longer amazing! Toothless!
Hiccup tries to steer himself away, to no avail. Toothless POURS ON THE SPEED, trying to catch Hiccup as he HURTLES toward collision. His locked tail makes maneuvering difficult. He's UNABLE TO PULL UP at a steep enough angle.
HICCUP (CONT'D) Oh, no!
At the last second, Toothless BLASTS the jagged rocks just ahead of Hiccup, then WRAPS Hiccup in his wings as they fly through it. The obliterated peak rains down around them. Toothless emerges through the cloud of debris and HURTLES into the trees of a neighboring peak. They tumble down the uneven terrain, coming to rest on a small plateau. Hiccup emerges from the cocoon of Toothless' wings. He switches his prosthetic riding foot to his walking foot and stows his leather wings.
HICCUP (CONT'D) That really came out of nowhere.
The blown up sea stack collapses.
HICCUP (CONT'D) We gotta work on your solo gliding there, bud. That locked-up tail makes for some pretty sloppy rescue maneuvers, eh?
Hiccup reels in his dorsal fin and removes his helmet, revealing a 20 year old Hiccup framed by wild hair, complete with a Viking braid. He walks to the edge of the cliff, taking in the NEW LAND stretching off into the horizon, its tall cliffs and seastacks adorned with swaying gold birch trees basking in the dappled afternoon sunlight. Looks like we found another one, bud.
Stoick stared at the Screen and saw Hiccup. "Son.." He said turning towards Hiccup, then to Rider. "Son!" He yelled, "Why.. Why did you-" He was cut off by an angry girl..
Astrid watched how Hiccup took off his mask on the screen and her hands turned into a fist, there she turned her head and punched Hiccup on the shoulder very hard.
"OWW! Why... Why would you do that?" He turned towards Astrid and rubbing his arm.
Astrid just stares at him with hurt eyes and tears was starting to form, Hiccup now starting to panic jumps and hugs Astrid. "A-astrid.. I-im sorry." he stutters not knowing it this is going to be ok to do.
"I Hate YOU!" Astrid punched Hiccups arm again when she pushed him away. "I cant believe you just did that! You would have gotten KILLED! To think you did something that stupid... Unbelievable." Astrid explained, and now looking over him to see Rider aka Older Hiccup.
"YOU! Why in the world would you... Hiccup do that?!" She screamed at older Hiccup, who was in fact scared. He removed his mask.
"Should have known this was going to-" Astrid walks over to Older Hiccup and punched him, it didnt hurt much because he was builded plus she was young so...
"Astrid calm down.. Im ok right?" Astrid just glared at him and just flopped down right in front of Older Hiccup and Ally.
Ally turns toward Older Hiccup "Nice going Hiccup. You just got the younger Astrid upset." He just rolled his eyes.
Toothless FUSSES and SNORTS, not amused, shaking off dust and pebbles like a wet dog. Hiccup flinches as a pebble WHACKS him on the back of the head. He looks back to Toothless, who averts his eyes.
HICCUP (CONT'D) Oh, what? Do you want an apology? Is that why you're pouting, big baby boo? Well... try this on!
All the teens laughed at Hiccups line, and nickname for Toothless. "Big baby boo?" Ally raised an eye brow, "I didnt know that." she then started to laugh along with the teens
Hiccup was blushing crazy and Toothless... He was snickering. Older Hiccup glances over to Hiccup and sweatdrops, 'Sorry lil Hic.' he told himself.
Hiccup TACKLES Toothless and tries to put him in a headlock.
HICCUP (CONT'D) Ya feeling it yet? Huh? Picking up on all my heartfelt remorse?
Toothless simply stands on his hind legs, lifting Hiccup off of his flailing feet and dangling him over the cliff's edge.
HICCUP (CONT'D) Oh, come on. You wouldn't hurt a one-legged-
Hiccup looks down, seeing the precipitous drop below.
HICCUP (CONT'D) You're right! You're right! You win! You win!
WHAM! Toothless flips him over, pinning him to the ground. Hiccup squirms, throwing mock punches. Toothless playfully retaliates with feline taps to Hiccup's head.
HICCUP (CONT'D) He's down! And it's ugly! Dragons and Vikings, enemies again, locked in combat to the bitter - URFFF!
Toothless rests his head on Hiccup - SQUEEZING THE AIR out of him. Toothless then suddenly starts grooming Hiccup, lapping at his face and covering him in slobber.
HICCUP (CONT'D) Gaaaaagh!
Hiccup fights to get free, finally springing to his feet and shaking off the viscous saliva.
HICCUP (CONT'D) You KNOW that doesn't wash out.
Toothless LAUGHS, pleased with himself. Shifting his attention back to the new land stretched out before them, Hiccup reaches beneath his chest plate and produces a leather-bound book. He unfurls it to reveal an EXPLORERS MAP, modified with added strips in every direction to accommodate their ever-expanding world. Drawings indicate new lands, new tribes, and many new dragons.
Hiccup peels a fresh strip of paper from a hidden fold in his flight suit and holds it out for Toothless to lick. Hiccup affixes the moistened strip to the map's outer edge, then whittles a pencil and consults a compass affixed to his forearm.
HICCUP (CONT'D) So what should we name it?
Toothless GURGLES as he gnaws under his wing, preoccupied.
HICCUP (CONT'D) "Itchy Armpit" it is.
"Itchy Armpit!?" Snotlout said laughing again, "Really coz?"
Ruff and Tuff laughed along with Snotlout, "Thats lame... Why name a place Itchy Armpit? and not Snotnuts?" they told outloud.
Astrid and Ally turned towards their Hiccup. "Itchy Armpit?" they said together. Hiccup just shrug who looked from Astrid to himself.
Fishlegs joined the talk, "I think it was kind of cute... How he... Nevermind."
"For you infomation... It was Toothless who said it." Older Hiccup said to the three teens. Ally turned towards back at the Screen "Sure whatever you said Hiccup." she smirked.
Hiccup carefully draws the new island's outline.
HICCUP (CONT'D) Whaddya reckon, bud? Think we might find a few Timberjacks in those woods? The odd Whispering Death or two in the rocks? Who knows... maybe we'll finally track down another Night Fury. (beat) Wouldn't that be something? (burdened) So, whaddya say? Just keep going?
Toothless' ear plates suddenly SHOOT UP. He ROARS, and his call is answered by a familiar SCREECH. Hiccup turns to see...
EXT. SEA STACK/ISLAND COASTLINE - DAY
ASTRID rising into view, astride Stormfly. Stormfly grabs talon-fulls of rock to slow her landing.
HICCUP 'Afternoon m'lady. Where have you been?
Astrid dismounts and throws back her fur hood as Toothless rushes up to greet them.
ASTRID Oh.. You know. Winning races. What else? The real question is... where have YOU been?
HICCUP Avoiding my dad.
ASTRID Oh, no. What happened now?
Stoick looked put again and put on a confused look, Why was his son avoiding his dad? Did he do something Hiccup didnt like? He looked over to his son who was sitting with Astrid, himself, Ally, the dragon, and Fishlegs. "Why... Would you" he whispered.
Gobber saw his best friend hurt "Stoick dont get so down, maybe its not as bad as you think?" he told Stoick who just ignored Gobber and just watched what his son was going to say.
Astrid sits beside Hiccup, inspecting his latest addition to the map. Behind them, Toothless greets Stormfly, inciting a play fight.
HICCUP Oh, you're gonna love this. I wake up. The sun's shining. Terrible Terrors are singing on the rooftop. I saunter down to breakfast, thinking all is right with the world, and I get...
He gets to his feet and puffs out his chest.
HICCUP (CONT'D) (aping Stoick) ... Son, we need to talk.
Astrid smiles and adopts Hiccup's sloppy slouch.
ASTRID (aping Hiccup) Not now, Dad. I've got a whole day of goofing off to get started.
Everyone started to laugh at the two couples action.
"Ok... Astrid when have i ever... What?" Hiccup asked Astrid. She just laughed back at herself.
"Well Hiccup you do." she answered back smiling.
Stoick on the other hand was in shock, did he really talked like that? "I dont talk like that." he stated, and Gobber tell him he said. Stoick then glares at Gobber.
Hiccup breaks character, grimacing at her impression of him.
HICCUP Okay, first of all, I don't sound like that. What is this character? And second... what is that thing you're doing with my shoulders?
Astrid laughs, jostling her shoulders in an awkward way.
HICCUP A truly flattering impersonation. Anyway, he goes... (resuming Stoick's brogue) You're the pride of Berk, son, and I couldn't be prouder...
ASTRID (continuing her impression of Hiccup) Aw, thanks, Dad. I'm pretty impressed with myself, too.
HICCUP WHEN have I ever done that with my hands?
ASTRID You just did.
"BURN!" Snotlout cheers "In your face HICCUP!" he told pointing at Hiccup.
Hiccup ignored Snotlout and rolled his eyes, Older Hiccup just smiled. To your surprised those two have gotten a lot more closer. Still fighting and annoying each other but shows more caring and all in the future now.
"Wow Hiccup, you just made a fool out of yourself." Astrid said giggling at her boyfriend. Who was now in deed blushing.
"Yea yea!" Hiccup said to Astrid and crossed his arms. "It doesnt mater anyways."
She laughs, playfully.
HICCUP Okay... just... (holding her arms, mockstern) Hold still. It's very serious.
She giggles, trying to hold a straight face.
HICCUP (CONT'D) (resuming Stoick's brogue) You're all grown up, and since no chief could ask for a better successor, I've decided-
Astrid straightens, her face brightening.
ASTRID -TO MAKE YOU CHIEF! Oh, my gods!
She jumps to her feet, beaming...
ASTRID (CONT'D) Hiccup, that's amazing!
And socks Hiccup in congratulations, deliberately hitting the dorsal fin release button and triggering it to pop up. She laughs as Hiccup reels it back in, self-consciously.
HICCUP You're gonna wear out the spring coil. The calibration is very sensitive!
They're suddenly BOWLED OVER by Toothless and Stormfly.
HICCUP (CONT'D) Yeah, so... this is what I'm dealing with.
Astrid helps him up and dusts him off.
ASTRID (excited) What did you tell him?
HICCUP I didn't. By the time he turned around, I was gone.
Astrid picks up the map, folding it as she paces around him, processing it all.
ASTRID Well, it's a lot of responsibility. The map will have to wait for sure, and I'll need to fly Toothless, since you'll be too busy...
She pauses, wincing in sympathy. She turns to Hiccup. He nods knowingly, taking the map from her.
HICCUP It's not me, Astrid. All those speeches, and planning, and running the village... that's his thing.
ASTRID I think you're missing the point. I mean, chief. What an honor. I'd be pretty excited.
Stoick smiled at Astrids statement, Chief is an honor to be one. He looks over to his Hiccup and his smiled faded seeing Hiccup's reaction of finding out he was going to be chief was like 'woah'.
"Me... Chief? I cant be chief... I... What?" Hiccup stuttered not knowing what to say. Older Hiccup wanted to help him out but he couldnt but you knows what happens.
"Hiccup... I think Chief i amazing." Astrid stated to Hiccup, "Besides id be here with you? To help you." she smiled. She moved his head up so she can see his face, "Your not alone Hiccup You have me... The twins, fishlegs, your dad... and even Snotlout."
Older Hiccup eyes sadden, when Astrid said 'your dad' sadden his heart, Ally could fell that Older Hiccup was sad now.
Hiccup shakes his head.
HICCUP I'm not like you. You know exactly who you are. You always have. But...
He shuffles to the cliff's edge, gazing out at the new land.
HICCUP (CONT'D) I'm still looking. I know that I'm not my father... and I never met my mother... so, what does that make me?
Stoick's heart sank down into sadness... who new Hiccup felt like that. Everyone in the room went silent wow... Who new Hiccup could make everyone so... Sad? but he did. Hiccup looked around and saw everyone being quiet. And he new why. If he wasnt like his father strong, a leader, and he never met his mother that what is he? what does that make him?
Even Snotlout felt sad by his coz words. He missed his aunt deep down, but she was taken away and gotten killed he looked over to Hiccup and then looked away. What was this in his chest? Why does it feel like something is being smashed?
"What in the world... Why does my chest hurt?" he stated outloud. Ruff heard him and answered back
"Its a sigh of you having a heart... And your sad."
"What? That cant be.. I dont have a heart. Those are for... For girls." he grossed out, Ruff hits him. and glared.
He sits at the edge, looking burdened, restless. Astrid approaches and settles beside him, joining him in looking out at the distant horizon. She weaves another braid into his hair as she speaks.
ASTRID What you're searching for... isn't out there, Hiccup.
She places a hand on his chest.
ASTRID (CONT'D) It's in here. (beat) Maybe you just don't see it yet.
She kisses his cheek, but gets a mouthful of Toothless' slobber. She grimaces, wiping it off. Distracted, Hiccup eyes the horizon keenly.
Hiccup smiled at what Astrid told him, maybe shes right? Maybe it is in his chest... Heart i mean.
"Wha-" Astrid said, seeing herself kiss Hiccup on the cheek then having Toothless slob on her lips. "Eww.." She said shaking "Thats just... Wrong."
Hiccup then laughed along with fell other people. Ally got up and sneaked away from the group.
'Gotta go and fetch someone...' Ally smirked, and there she opened to door and walked through with a glow she vanished.
HICCUP Maybe. But, y'know... there is something out there.
ASTRID (exasperated) Hiccup...
He turns her face to the horizon. A distant smoke plume rises from a misty valley.
EXT. LAPLAND WOODS/TRAPPER'S FORT - MOMENTS LATER
