Wow you guys already two chapters in one day!
I don't own How To Train Your Dragon!
INT. THE GREAT HALL - loud Protesting voices blending over one another leads to... Stoick, bathed in the
firelight, surrounded by fellow Vikings who were the ones protesting.
'Well, that's a lovely image.' Hiccup muttered to Toothless sarcastically. In truth he was a little intimidated by his
fathers look.
Toothless snorted in Hiccups ear before nudging his cheek.
This time both Snotlout and Spitlout had heard Hiccup talking to a dragon, Snotlout was starting to get use to it, but
Spitlout gasped in shock.
But no one else seemed to notice.
STOICK Either we finish them or they'll finish us! It's the only way we'll be rid of them! If we find the nest
and destroy it, the dragons will leave.
"Do you really believe that?" Rise asked curiously while some Vikings jumped in shock from her sudden appearance.
"Ye don't?" Stoick raised at eyebrow in disbelief.
"No, no I don't. if I was a dragon and you destroyed my home I would be pissed. and I'd probably make your home into
mine."
Roses answer silenced Stoick as he now though about what she had said.
Rose decided to stay and watch the movie for a bit.
He sinks his blade into a... Large map, spread out on the table, the blade pierces the middle of an uncharted
corner, with painted sea monsters and dragons drawn on it.
"Hmm, I could draw better..." Rose pouted.
"Sure." Hiccup said patting Roses shoulder.
"...Are you mocking me Haddock?" Rose asked.
"..Maybe?" Hiccup grinned, not seeing Astrid glaring at Rose but Rose did and starting internally laughing madly.
STOICK (CONT'D) One more search. Before the ice sets in.
"Oh, Winter is a funny thing! Especially with Jack Frost controlling it!" Rose laughed.
"Who?" Hiccup asked curiously.
"Ah. Just someone you would meet in an alternate universe to your own." Rose answered, smiling at the thought of
ROTBD.
Hiccup however was thoroughly confused by her answer. what was an alternate universe?
VIKING Those ships never come back.
"If they never come back then why send more?" Rose asked, and once again Stoick was silenced by her question.
STOICK (Stating) We're Vikings. It's an occupational hazard. Now who's with me?Stoick throws his fist up
in the air, but No one follows his actions. The crowds shifts in restless silence. Head scratches. Eyes
averted.
"Wow, that's embarrassing." Rose exclaimed.
"I liked it better when you were not here." Stoick mumbled annoyed, but Rose had heard what he said.
"Sorry to disappoint you but I am staying here for the rest of this chapter!" Rose stick her tongue out.
"Chapter?"
VIKING (FEEBLE) Today's not good for me.
VIKING (CONT'D) (EQUALLY FEEBLE) I've gotta do my axe returns.
"Wimps" Rose snorted.
Causing Hiccup to chuckle quietly.
STOICK Alright. Those who stay will look after Hiccup.
"Rude!" Hiccup yelled, honestly he knew he should just stop hoping for them all to understand and be nice to him and it
was clear it was never going to happen.
Toothless growled threateningly while the other dragons all glared at the Vikings.
Even Snotlout felt hurt that Hiccups own father, his uncle, would use Hiccup as a bargaining chip to convince the others
to go.
The other teens however were shocked that Hiccups' father said that.
Hands immediately fly into the air, volunteers galore. Enthusiastic murmurs of prep and packing fill the
room although it was forced.
The Vikings all shifted in their seats feeling bad for how they acted and for how they would rather go on a life
threatening journey then deal with Hiccup. they realized just how rude that was to do,and how it made it seem as
though they would rather be killed then be near him.
PHLEGMA THE FIERCE To the ships!
SPITELOUT I'm with you Stoick!
STOICK (humorless)That's more like it.
All of the Vikings rush for the door, leaving Gobber and Stoick alone.
Gobber swallows back the contents of his tankard attachment and scrapes back the bench.
GOBBER I'll pack my undies.
"What's with you and mentioning your 'Undies'!" Hiccup asked, remembering all the times Gobber's mentioned them in
the forge.
"Nothing, me undies are me undies." Gobber replied seriously.
STOICK No, I need you to stay and train some new recruits.
Hiccup shivered slightly at remembering Gobbers ways to train someone.
GOBBER Oh, perfect. And while I'm busy, Hiccup can cover the stall. Molten steel, razor-sharp blades, lots of
time to himself...what could possibly go wrong?
"Hey! I know what I'm doing when I'm working in the forge!" Hiccup huffed.
"You're not even suppose to be working in them. Remember?" Gobber said sternly.
Stoick slumps onto the bench beside Gobber, seemingly the weight of the world on his shoulders.
STOICK What am I going to do with him Gobber?
"How about not talk about me like I'm your pet. Or an object." Hiccup said, leaving no room for discussion.
GOBBER Put him in training with the others.
STOICK No, I'm serious.
Hiccup glared at his father.
GOBBER So am I.
Stoick turns to face him, glaring.
STOICK He'd be killed before you let the first dragon out of its cage.
"Gee, thanks for knowing you believe in me, Chief." Hiccup said before he realized just how he had said it.
But it was too late, everyone had noticed how Hiccup called Stoick Chief and not dad or father.
GOBBER Oh, you don't know that.
STOICK I do know that, actually.
GOBBER No, you don't.
STOICK No, actually I do.
GOBBER No you don't!
STOICK Listen! You know what he's like. From the time he could crawl he's been...different. He doesn't
listen.
"Yeah well, neither do you." Hiccup muttered darkly.
STOICK (CONT'D) Has the attention span of a sparrow. I take him fishing and he goes hunting for... for
trolls.
"They're real!" Hiccup hissed, "They steal your socks! But only the left ones!"
GOBBER (DEFENSIVE) Trolls exist! They steal your socks. (DARKLY) But only the left ones. What's with
that?
Everyone looked back and forth between Hiccup and Gobber.
STOICK When I was a boy...
GOBBER (GRUMBLING) Oh here we go.
STOICK My father told me to bang my head against a rock and I did it. I thought it was crazy, but I didn't
question him. And you know what happened?
"You gave yourself a headache." Hiccup asked, not really expecting an answer.
"I'd probably give myself a concussion." Rose frowned.
GOBBER You got a headache.
Again everyone stared at Hiccup and Gobber.
STOICK That rock split in two. It taught me what a Viking could do, Gobber. He could crush mountains, level
forests, tame seas! Even as a boy, I knew what I was, what I had to become. (PAUSE) Hiccup is not that
boy.
"Thanks for that." Hiccup said sarcastically.
GOBBER You can't stop him,
"You got that right..." Rose muttered happily, only the teens heard her.
Stoick. You can only prepare him. (Dramatic pause) Look, I know it seems hopeless. But the truth is you
won't always be around to protect him. He's going to get out there again. He's probably out there now.
"Technically he is, you did just see him run out of the house and into the woods to look for the Night Fury." Roses
words were not helping to calm anyone down, especially since they realized she was right.
SCREEN ZOOM IN ON STOICK, as Gobber's words hit their mark.
They all sat in silence awaiting the next scene with heavy thoughts, none of them noticed Rose leave or Hiccup paling
and breathing a little heavier. But Toothless did, and was upset he couldn't calm his rider down.
Hey everyone! i did two chapters in one day! that's a first!
