Mean Seasons 57 Horrendous Heat
"No no no! Why me?!" Hiccup groaned as the hot East Wind whispered his instructions for that month "A heat wave this early?! Why me? Not like I'm the other's favorite season right now anyway. Now I gotta send in a squad of Fireworms in Spring's last week! Yeah she's going to be real happy with me."
A chuckle from behind put new groans in Hiccup's throat.
"And you're here. Terrific. Say...um..."
Toothless growled and stepped forward as Spring stepped out of wghere she was hiding. Hiccup soothed the beast "Easy bud, I think she's going to be civil."
"So, Mother said summer is coming early this year hmm, newbie?" Spring sneered "It can't be because you are the newest season now can it? Not that I mind. My beef has been with Winter. Seeto it that we never have as strong a rivalry."
She disappeared, and the Viking dragon rider groaned and slumped against a tree, Toothless looking at the swirling leaves Spring left behind with the growl in his purr.
"Yeah well I don't think she likes me either." Hiccup groaned.
"Spring doesn't like much of anything besides Bunny."
Toothless roared happily as Hiccup jumped and looked up at the grinning frost spirit who had decided to perch on the tree he was slumped against.
"Jack Frost? I thought you would want to be on the opposite side of the world from me. I mean, it's not like you can stand near enough for us to really bond very well."
The winter spirit laughed "You just have to turn your heat down to a tolerable level that's all. Besides, my Wind carried the warning to me that a heat wave was coming early, so I decided to come see what was up."
Hiccup sighed and whistled for a squad of a million Fireworm dragons. They all came, hissing and glowing with the heat of the sun. Jack was forced higher into the tree, yelping as one roared tinily at him. The Dragon trainor laughed softly, then waved his arms and hopped on Toothless.
"You coming?" he asked.
Jack shrugged, then said "Why not? If I fall because of the heat, Wind can carry me higher. You look like you would enjoy the company."
Hiccup smiled. "That I would. Though one of these days we are going to have to get you onto something with a bit more strength than your Wind."
Jack laughed, keeping pace with the Night Fury as they picked up the speed.
"Find me a 'something' that breathes ice and snow, and you got a deal!"
Hiccup grinned and said conversationally "You know I died before getting to chronicle all the species of dragons, so you may be in luck!"
