The morning after the feast, Fishlegs woke up in his bed with a major headache, and he vowed to himself that he wouldn't drink another mug of ale for as long as he could. He looked over to find Meatlug still asleep on her bed, he suddenly remembered the discussion which had occurred between himself and Caverna and he groaned.
"Oh no." Fishlegs groaned. "What have I done?"
At his words, Meatlug woke up and licked him, making him give her a small smile, yet his seemed to only confuse the dragon and she butted her head against him as her way of asking whether he was okay or not.
"I'm fine girl, I just made a mistake with Caverna last night and I need to fix it...Fancy a ride before breakfast?"
This seemed to get the dragon motivated, and she got up and flew out of the bedroom window as Fishlegs grabbed his helmet and ran downstairs as fast as he could, nearly running into his mother who was serving breakfast.
"Fishlegs, where are ya going?" She shouted after him as he ran out of the house.
"I'll be right back mom, I have to see Caverna!" He yelled back, climbing onto Meatlug as she flew down to meet him and they flew off towards the Chief's house.
The minute he got to the Chief's house, he slid off of his dragon and knocked on the door, only to find that the Chief answered it.
"Um...Good morning Sir..."
"Good mornin' Fishlegs, what can I do for ya?" Stoick asked.
"I was wondering if Caverna was here?" Fishlegs asked.
"No, she went flying with Hiccup and Astrid early this morning, but I wanted to speak to you anyway Fishlegs." Stoick told him, allowing him to come inside.
Fishlegs walked inside the house, and he looked around in awe since he had never actually been inside the chief's home before, and he stood awkwardly as Stoick sat in one of the high backed chairs.
"W-What did you want to talk to me about, Sir?" Fishlegs asked.
"You and Caverna..." Stoick told him, causing Fishleg's heartbeat to quicken.
"What about us, Sir?"
Well, she looked very down this morning, and Astrid mentioned that she had noticed you two having a little 'lovers spat'. I only wish to know that you don't intend to hurt her, after all she is my little girl now, and I feel responsible for her." Stoick told him.
"Sir...Yes we had a spat, and I've come to apologise for it, I was out of order and I really upset her." He would have said more, before the front door opened and two night furies bounded in, trying to pin each other and they were followed by Hiccup, Astrid and Caverna.
"Hey Fishlegs, what are you doing here?" Hiccup asked as he saw his friend, his arms around Astrid, and they all looked windswept.
"Oh...Um...I came to see Caverna." Fishlegs told them and he watched Caverna walk past, towards the stairs.
"I'm not interested." Caverna told them as she pulled her hood and mask down as she walked up the stairs.
"I'll go and talk to her." Astrid told them and she walked over towards the stairs, however she stopped in order to let Snowcap go upstairs first.
"What happened with you two last night?" Hiccup asked Fishlegs. "One dance and you were fine, the next it looked like she was going to severely injure you."
Fishlegs sighed and told Hiccup and Stoick what had happened last night, as Toothless moved to lie in front of the hearth as he waited for his mate to return.
"Fishlegs are you crazy, your parents don't need to have a say in your relationship with Caverna and now you've let her know that her being barren bothers you, you're going to be lucky if he even comes near you again." Hiccup told him.
Fishlegs sighed. "I know, I realised it the minute I said it, and she won't give me a chance to apologise."
"Apologise!?"
Everyone looked at the stairs to find Caverna looking at them and she was frozen, though she did move in order to let Snowcap past.
"You think that you can just apologise and everything will be okay?" Caverna asked him.
"Well...Um...Yes..."
Caverna looked at him. "Get out, I don't want to see you or speak to you until you and everyone else realises that having kids isn't always the best thing and that not having them doesn't always matter!" She suddenly shouted "And by the way, we're over." She walked away, back up the stairs moving past Astrid as she came back down.
Snowcap let out a whine at hearing the emotional pain in her rider's voice and she watched her rider leave, though this time she stayed with Toothless and didn't follow her rider. Whilst Fishlegs looked ready to follow Caverna, and he sniffed to hold back his tears, he hadn't wanted to upset her this bad and end their relationship, heck he loved her more than anything even though they hadn't been going out for long.
"Fishlegs...Are you okay?" Hiccup asked, seeing how frozen and sad his friend looked.
"No...I mean...Yes, of course...I should probably go...Goodbye everyone." He headed outside, where he mounted Meatlug and flew off back towards his home.
Hiccup, Stoick, Astrid, Toothless and Snowcap watched him leave and then they all looked up at hearing crying from upstairs that was when Hiccup headed upstairs to check on Caverna and found her sitting curled up on the bed, wiping away tears.
"Hey, want to have a brother and sister chat?" He asked, walking in and closing the door behind him.
"It would be slightly biased if I did; he's one of your closest friends." Caverna told him.
"So, you're now my sister, Caverna you can talk to me about anything, I promise you that, and even if it's about one of my friends, I promise that I won't be biased in any way, shape or form." Hiccup told her.
As Caverna sat up on her bed and told Hiccup everything that had happened to cause downstairs scene of events to unfold between her and Fishlegs, Snowcap and Toothless were curled up together by the fireplace as Stoick and Astrid looked on.
"How are you feeling...You known...After last night?" Toothless asked her.
"I feel fine Toothless, stop worrying." Snowcap told him with a giggle.
"I can't help but worry about you, I mean I'm older and a lot bigger, I didn't want to hurt you." Toothless told her as he nuzzled his head against her neck.
"You didn't." She told him, before she nuzzled him and the two started to let off a purring noise the more they nuzzled each other.
"Hey, none of that, both of you, out." Stoick ordered the two dragons, which just looked at him and Astrid, before Snowcap nuzzled him and gestured for him to follow as she stood and she left the house, and suddenly tackled Stormfly who was lounging around in what sun she could. The sudden pounce by the smaller night fury, made Stormfly roll over with a loud squawk of surprise before she and Snowcap started to play fight. Toothless watched them for a few minutes before he ran out and joined them. The mere sight of it made Astrid and Stoick laugh.
"Oh god, poor Stormfly." Astrid laughed.
"Why, what's going on?"
The voice turned out to be Hiccup, who was stood on the bottom step of the stairs looking from his girlfriend to his father then he moved to look out of the door and he laughed at seeing the three dragons.
"Poor Stormfly." He laughed as both Toothless and Snowcap both pinned Stormfly to the ground, before there was the faint sound of a whistle and Snowcap flew off only to arrive back on the ground with Caverna on her back. When Caverna was on the ground, Snowcap went back to playing with Toothless and Stormfly and Caverna, Astrid and Hiccup all went for a walk down to the town.
