CUT TO:

EXT. SKY - AFTERNOON

[Toothless and Hiccup soar through a perfect blue sky.

Billowing clouds rise like mountains. The ground seems miles

below them.]

Stoick eyes Hiccup worriedly.

The group stare at Hiccup as if he was insane. He probably was.

HICCUP

Okay there bud, we're gonna take

this nice and slow.

Toothless rolls his eyes.

[Hiccup checks a leather cheat sheet, clipped onto his

harness. Inscribed upon it are several tail positions and

their pedal position equivalents.]

HICCUP (CONT'D)

Here we go. Here we go...position

three, no four.

The group roll their eyes.

[He presses the pedal, causing the tail to flare. They roll

off into an arcing bank, gloriously lit by the late afternoon

sun.

Hiccup tucks tight against his neck, thrilled that his new

harness and vest are holding. The foot controls make the tail

appendage quick and responsive. He watches Toothless' every

fluctuation, trying to match it with the prosthetic.

Hiccup sizes up a target - a towering arch of stone, rising

from the sea.]

The twins jaws fall open.

HICCUP (CONT'D)

Alright, it's go time. It's go

time.

[They dive toward it, lining up to pass through the arch.]

HICCUP (CONT'D)

Come on. Come on buddy. Come on

buddy!

[They zip through the arch. A perfect maneuver.]

HICCUP (CONT'D)

Yeah! Yes, it worked!

Snotlout stares at Hiccup in shock "I can't believe it worked!" Astrid nods her head in mock agreement.

[The triumph is short-lived. They smack into one of several

sea stacks as Hiccup tries to keep up with the turns.]

HICCUP (CONT'D)

Sorry.

Snotlout throws his hands up in victory "yess I was right" Snotlout and Astrid high-fived, Hiccup pouted.

[They hurtle into another rock pillar. Toothless grumbles.]

HICCUP (CONT'D)

My fault.

[Toothless swats him with his 'ear' plate.]

HICCUP (CONT'D)

Yeah, yeah, I'm on it.

(referring to the cheat SHEET)

Position four, no three.

Snotlout smirks.

[They pierce the clouds. For the first time, Hiccup can see

the whole of the island below them. It shrinks with every

passing second. He SWALLOWS hard and tightens his grip on the

handles.]

HICCUP (CONT'D)

Yeah! Go baby! Yes! Oh, this is

amazing! The wind in my...

[He spots the leather guide tearing free in the turbulence.]

HICCUP (CONT'D)

(PANICKED)

... CHEAT SHEET! STOP!

The group along with Stoick, Gobber, Gothi and a few others face-palmed.

Hope and Astrid groaned "let me guess he stopped?" Hiccup smiled innocently. Astrid smiled and quickly kissed Hiccup on the cheek while the others weren't looking. Hope smiled at the young couple.

[Hiccup grabs frantically for the airborne sheet...]

HICCUP (CONT'D)

No!

[... and NABS IT before it's carried out of reach. Toothless,

however, obeys the command and suddenly STOPS beating his

wings.]

"I KNEW IT!"

Hiccup huffs and tries to hide away from the other teens who were currently forgetting it was the past and fearing for Hiccup's life along with Stoick and Gobber. The twins however were loving every moment Hiccup got into trouble.

[As they slow to a stop, Hiccup goes weightless. The rings of

his vest float off of the harness hooks. Hiccup suddenly

finds himself detached, free-falling.]

HICCUP (CONT'D)

Oh gods! Oh no!

[Without Hiccup, the tail loses control. Hiccup and Toothless

spiral downward. Toothless FIGHTS to get back under Hiccup.]

HICCUP (CONT'D)

(trying to calm Toothless)

Alright, okay. You just gotta kinda

angle yourself. No, no...come back

down towards me. Come back down—

Astrid and Fishlegs face-palm "you're falling to your death and your worrying about Toothless?!"

Hiccup shrugs as he sits back up against Toothless, petting him gently.

[Hiccup extends his arms and legs, giving himself as much

surface area as he can. He angles back towards Toothless as

the tumbling dragon WHACKS Hiccup with his wing.

After a few more misses, Hiccup finally GRABS HOLD of the

harness and manages to lock in - just in time to pull

Toothless out of his dive... barely shy of the tree tops.

They careen past the wooded cliff and directly into a

treacherous slalom course of jutting sea stacks.

Hiccup pulls the cheat sheet from his teeth and attempts to

check positions. It flaps violently in the turbulence, making

it impossible.]

Stoick and Gobber pale dramatically their faces almost like a ghost.

Hope rolls her eyes ugh it's in the past!

With no time to think, Hiccup throws it away and steers

Toothless' tail on instinct... with perfect intuition.

Together, they manage a tight, hair-rasing series of split-

second turns, making it to the open water, unscathed.

Hiccup takes a breath and glances back at the death-defying

obstacle course, now safely behind them. He beams, relieved.

He sits back and throws his arms up in victory.]

HICCUP (CONT'D)

YEEAHHH!

Snotlout, the group and some villages mouths drop open, too stunned to speak.

Snotlout breaks out of the trance and pats Hiccup on the back "way to go cuz!"

[Toothless concurs with a happy SQUEAL and a fireball.

Hiccup's glee turn to dread as they fly directly into it.]

ON HICCUP'S FACE

HICCUP (CONT'D)

Ah, come on.

The group snicker.

Stoick and Gobber break out of their trance colour returning to their faces.

EXT. BLACK SAND BEACH - SUNSET

[Hiccup and Toothless lounge on a sprawling, deserted beach,

snacking of freshly caught fish. As Hiccup cooks his over a

fire, Toothless suddenly regurgitates a fish head. Hiccup

smirks with forced politeness.]

Fishlegs gags "please tell me you're not going to eat that.

HICCUP

Uh..no thanks.

(gesturing to his fish on

A STICK)

I'm good.

Fishlegs along with many others sigh with relief.

[Several Terrible Terrors land like seagulls, hissing and

nipping at each other as they approach Toothless' pile of

fish.

One grabs the regurgitated fish head and drags it away.

Another attempts to steal it from him. They face off and last

fire balls at each other to settle the fight. Hiccup and

Toothless watch, amused. That is until...

Toothless spots one of his fish leaving the pile. A stealthy

Terrible Terror is exposed as the thief. They tug on the

fish, and it snaps back into Toothless' mouth. He swallows it

back tauntingly.

Irate, the little dragon paws at the ground and blast

Toothless. He opens his mouth, the gas hiss comes, and

Toothless fires a tiny flame straight into its mouth, causing

the gas to backfire into the little dragon. It coughs up

smoke and staggers away, looking ill.

Hiccup laughs.]

HICCUP (CONT'D)

Not so fireproof on the inside, are

you?

Ruffnut looks at the others "I feel like that's going to be important in the future. Hope smiles they're a lot smarter than they seem.

[Hiccup throws the hapless Terror his freshly cooked fish.]

HICCUP (CONT'D)

Here you go.

[The appreciative little dragon gulps down the meal and

approaches Hiccup cautiously. He curls up next to him. Hiccup

is amazed.]

HICCUP (CONT'D)

(PENSIVE)

Everything we know about you guys

is wrong.

Stoick is stunned, Hiccup, his son, was friends with a dragon a Nightfury for Thor's sake! These dragons they've known to kill weren't harming his son. Maybe they weren't so bad after all.

[Hiccup carefully pets him... sending the Terror into an

immediate, blissful sleep.]

The village look around at each other confused. Are dragons still the mindless killing beasts we once knew?

The group smile at one another, hoping to get through to the other Vikings.

Done! Chapter 13 another one down! Not long to go… I hope… anyway tell me what do ya think? Till sometime in the future…
