I'm surprised myself how many reactions I did in this chapter. I shortly want to explain why the last one had such a little reaction count: Scenes with a lot of dialogue are easier to react to than scenes with little to no spoken words. I hope you understand.

Shout-outs:

Undead Night Fury: I'm honestly looking forward to write that. It's going to be interesting to see all of their reactions.

Guest: Thank you. Of course I keep it up. I only upload stories with the intention to finish them.

Kirika (Guest): (I used google translate to understand your review as I only know a few words in Spanish.) You're right, that scene is quite funny. I remember the hall bursting into laughter during this scene every time I went to the cinema.

Rubbyl (Guest): You're review made me grin like an idiot with gratitude. Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm so glad you like the story so much. To be honest, I don't mind having no reviews to a chapter, but I love answering them at the beginning of the next. That's the reason I ask for them so often. Yeah, patience is something, my readers sometimes need to have when I'm fighting a writer's block again ;-) By the way, your review was easy to understand. English isn't my mothertongue either. And to make mistakes in a forgeign language is completely normal, though I didn't notice any in your review.

Astrid Erica Lokison: I see you're still too lazy to log-in ;-) It's okay though, as long as I still know who you are. It's okay to be not up to date with every update, when you don't have the time to read, just catch up later. I really hope you like the other chapters.

Lily (Guest): Thank you. The number of reactions increased a lot in this chapter, I hope you like it.

Exposer: Their reaction changed a bit in this chapter, since I noticed that too. I mean, the teens are actually quick to adapt to the dragons, so that's what I tried to do here too. And the grown-ups take a bit longer, which might be more obviously again in this chapter. I hope you like it anyway.

Thank you everyone who follows, favorites and reviews, and enjoy this chapter.


New "New Tail"


(Scene cuts in the morning on New Berk with Hiccup, Astrid and Toothless.)

(Hiccup is seen to be working on a prosthetic tail fin. Astrid looks at what Hiccup is doing and then looks at a diagram of a tail fin on a board.)

Astrid: Oh... Someone hasn't slept.

„Pointing out the obvious, huh?" Gobber asked with a smirk.

Hiccup Yeah. Well, that Light Fury won't let me within a mile of her.

(As Hiccup says this, Toothless scratches himself, causing his scales to shed and fall onto the ground. Astrid picks them up and walks to Hiccup.)

„Whoa! I want those black coins!" Tuffnut breathed.

Ruffnut smacked him. „Those are dragon scales, you dumbass. And you can't have them."

Hiccup: And neither of us will be getting any sleep or finding the Hidden World until Toothless takes over.

(Toothless pushes Hiccup out of the way to look through a magnifying glass.)

Hiccup: Hey! What do you think of that? Yeah.

(Hiccup pushes Toothless away and picks up a bowl.)

Astrid: You tried this once before. He didn't want it.

„I did?" Hiccup asked surprised.

I nodded. „Yes. The first Snoggletog you spent together all the dragons except Toothless flew away to mate. And because you wanted him to follow them you made him an automatic tailfin."

„I can do that?" He still seemed to be astonished.

„Of course!" Tamina reassured. „That was one of the easier things you did. There are far more complicated inventions of yours."

(Astrid drops Toothless' black scales into the bowl.)

Hiccup: Well, until now he didn't have a reason to. Right, bud?

(Toothless spits into the bowl and Hiccup mashes the scales.)

Astrid: Hm...

Hiccup: What?

Astrid: No. Nothing. I'm-I'm impressed. I mean, look at you. Embracing change. I am proud of you.

„Well, actually he was the first to change on the whole island." I pointed out, contradicting what on-screen Astrid had just said.

(Hiccup starts painting the prosthetic tail fin with the now liquid from the bowl.)

Hiccup: Well, he's my best bud. I want him to be happy. And besides it's just until he brings her back.

(Hiccup kisses Astrid's head and picks up the new prosthetic tail fin.)

„Wait, wait, wait. Wait! Did he really just kiss me?" Astrid asked, seeming to be disgusted.

Tamina and I shrugged. „I was just a peck. And by the way: You're engaged. Of course you kiss."

Astrid shuddered. „I guess I need to get used to this."

„Or you can come to me. I welcome you with open arms." Snotlout flirted, which earned him a punch into his tummy.

(However, Astrid looks worried by what Hiccup said and shakes her head.)

„Wow!" Gobber said in astonishment. „I'm impressed by this handiwork." He turned around to face Hiccup. „I didn't teach you that."

Tamina nodded. „It's true. He taught it himself."

Hiccup: Alright, fire when ready!

Gobber: Oh!

(Gobber is behind the tail fin as Toothless shoots a plasma blast at it, making Gobber's clothes singed.)

Everyone, Gobber excluded started laughing. The blacksmith instead looked at the screen offended. „Hey, stop burning my moustache!" he complained, protectively stroking his beard.

Gobber: Well, I guess you know the tail is fireproof.

(Gobber looks at Hiccup angrily and then walks off. Hiccup looks at Gobber sheepishly.)

Hiccup: Okay, Toothless.

(Toothless runs around crazily, excited for Hiccup to put the tail on.)

„This is said to be the offspring of lightning and death? Seems more like an overgrown cat to me." Astrid stated and shrugged.

Hiccup: Okay. Okay. Okay. Yes, I know. Shh, I know. Shhh.

(Toothless stops running around and allows Hiccup to attach the new tail.)

Hiccup: Okay, I know.

(Hiccup tries to attach the new tail but Toothless moves his tail too much.)

Hiccup: Please, this is not helping.

Eret: Well, well, well. Someone's excited.

„Oh yes. A lot!" I smiled.

Ruffnut once again looked at the screen with longing in her eyes.

Hiccup: Uh, he's fresh off his first date. Now he's love crazed.

(Hiccup manages to attach the tail but still tries to adjust some stuff.)

Gobber: Only we're the ones going crazy. The sooner he brings back that Light Fury, the better.

Hiccup: Yeah, but to do that, he'll need to fly without me. So, time to give this new and improved baby a shot.

(Hiccup finishes and Toothless tries expanding the tail, making him happy.)

I looked questioningly at Stoick and Gobber who still seemed unsure about the story on the screen.

„You still think they are mindless beasts that only kill for the fun of it?" I asked them, just wanting to see their reaction.

Hiccup: Atta boy! Looking sharp, Toothless. So, what do you think, bud? Bring her home (impersonates Stoick)by sundown at the latest.

(Toothless pushes his head into Hiccup, licks his face, and then gives him a hug.)

„This is amazing! I didn't know dragons were able to hug." Fishlegs said, once again jumping in his seat.

Hiccup: Save it for your girlfriend! Go on, get out of here!

(Hiccup urges Toothless to leave with a light push. Toothless starts running off but stops as he doesn't think it's right. He turns around and looks at Hiccup.)

Hiccup: It's okay.

(Toothless replies excited and then flies off. As he is flying he looks at his new tail fin and then looks at Hiccup who is smiling. Everyone around Hiccup stops working and looks at him in shock. Hiccup takes a heavy sigh and then everyone starts working again.)

„Let's just pretend that nothing happened!" I laughed.


Grimmel in pursuit


(Scene changes in the sky with Valka and Cloudjumper. It is foggy.)

(Valka discovers they have been followed by Grimmel, the Warlords and their Dragon Trappers. Valka spots Grimmel's Airship and then one of Grimmel's Deathgrippers attacks Valka, followed by another one.)

Valka: Watch out!

„Valka!" Stoick called, fearing for his wife.

Gobber reassuringly looked at him. „If she didn't die in that raid, then she's going to survive this too."

(Cloudjumper grabs the incoming Deathgripper and throws it at the other Deathgripper.)

Valka: Go, Cloudjumper!

(Grimmel stops his Deathgrippers from attacking Valka by whistling. They stop and Valka and Cloudjumper escape just in time.)

I heard Stoick exhaling loudly after the danger passed.


Like I said above, I increased the number of reactions and actually like how it turned out, unlike the chapters before. I hope you liked it too. A review on your way out will be gladly appreciated. See you next update.
