Review
Guest: huh, interesting idea, I'll see what I can do but no promises. Thanks for suggesting
Lucasdiaz9000: that could work for the next break we have. Thanks for suggesting
dargur: ya it's a shame but hey sometimes you just have to listen to odin. Also the scene is one of the most emotional scenes ever, definatly top 5
Bloody dragon fang: like a wise dork once said "ok, I don't even know how to answer that"
Disclaimer: I don't own how to train your dragon
The movie continues
EXT. VILLAGE - NIGHT Gobber and the recruits are seated at the top of an abandoned catapult tower, toasting campfire food around a roaring bonfire
"hmmmm so that's the point of story we've reached so far" said thor
"wait, I thought you said you haven't seen this before"
Questioned bertha, not surprised she's talking to a god like he's a normal person at this point
"since the fault happens to anyone no matter how short their life is there's no point in showing it" answered thor
"that's why we pre-watch a bit of the story beforehand to make sure it's enough for option a to be valid" continued loki
"after which we send it to my boss who chooses which part of it will be shown to the people and which will be crossed out. Again since it's too time consuming to show 100% of a persons life" finished param
"so till which point have you three seen" asked hiccup
"and who's this boss of yours" questioned toothless
"well we've seen up until the end of the dragon war. After that we only know a select few moments" answered param
"and as for your question" said thor gesturing toothless "his boss is our father. odin"
Everyone's stunned for a brief moment before muttering "that makes sense" and continued watching
GOBBER "...and with one twist he took my hand and swallowed it whole. And I saw the look on his face. (can't deny it) I was delicious. He must have passed the word, because it wasn't a month before another one of them took my leg."
FISHLEGS "Isn't it weird to think that your hand was inside a dragon. Like if your mind was still in control of it you could have killed the dragon from the inside by crushing his heart or something."
Everyone turned to look at fishlegs with a WHAT THE F expression on their faces while the said boy chuckled nervously
SNOTLOUT "I swear I'm so angry right now. I'll avenge your beautiful hand and your beautiful foot. I'll chop off the legs of every dragon I fight, with my face."
He postures to Astrid. She rolls her eyes.
She does the same in real life much to everyone's amusement
GOBBER (with a mouthful) "Un-unh. It's the wings and the tails you really want. If it can't fly, it can't get away. A downed dragon is a dead dragon."
ON HICCUP hiding his horrified look form the others. Gobber stands and stretches. GOBBER (CONT'D) "Alright. I'm off to bed. You should be too. Tomorrow we get into the big boys. Slowly but surely making our way up to the Monstrous Nightmare. (playful, taunting) But who'll win the honor of killing it?"
"there is no honor in killing a living creature" stated mala
He hobbles off. The teens reflect.
TUFFNUT (very matter of fact) "It's gonna be me." (beat) "It's my destiny. See?" Tuffnut rolls up his sleeve to reveal a red dragon on his arm.
FISHLEGS (gasps) "Your mom let you get a tattoo?"
"NO! I DID NOT!" shouted glaring at tuffnut "WHEN WE GET BACK YOU ARE GROUNDED" she turns to face the screen before turning back to him again "FOREVER!" and looks back at the screen. The teens and toothless were trying to stifle their laughs as tuffnut is shrinking into his seat further and further
TUFFNUT "It's not a tattoo. It's a birthmark."
RUFFNUT "Okay, I've been stuck with you since birth, and that was never there before."
TUFFNUT "Yes it was. You've just never seen me from the left side until now."
SNOTLOUT "It wasn't there yesterday. Is it a birthmark or a today-mark?"
"today-mark? seriously" asked toothless trying not to laugh
Hiccup gets up and walks away from the group. Astrid watches him as he leaves the bonfire.
"you noticed I was gone" asked hiccup
"well you were the only one not having insane talk in the group" replied astrid, slightly sad that hiccup was surprised that someone noticed him
INT. BLACKSMITH STALL - MOMENTS LATER Hiccup enters a small room at the back of the stall. It's covered in drawings of weaponry and scale models. He lights a candle and lays his sketchbook out on the desk, opening it to the drawing of Toothless. With a look of determination. Hiccup picks up a charcoal stick and re-draws the missing tail.
Gobber realises what's about to happen and looks at hiccup "lad if you manage to do this I'm promoting you to head blacksmith and retiring"
Everyone was-except astrid and toothless-confused at what gobber meant
DISSOLVE TO: INT. BLACKSMITH STALL - LATER CLOSE ON ... a creaking leather bellows. The stone forge glows with every pump. Tongs pull intricate iron pieces from the coals. They're dropped onto the anvil, twisted, lightly hammered, and dunked in a barrel. The pieces are carried to Hiccup's workbench and laid out in place on a one-to-one schematic. It's a sketch of a mechanical fin.
Everyone is stunned at this "you made a prosthetic wing for the dragon" asked viggo surprised
"that's it." Said gobber then gestured at hiccup "he's head blacksmith of the town and I'm retiring"
"gobber that's way too much responsibility hiccup at this age" said
"and you can't retire yet" stated hiccup "you taught me everything I knew to make that wing, and I still have a lot to learn from you"
Gobber thinks for a sec "fine, I won't retire, but only because you asked"
Meanwhile valka was shocked and then proud at hiccup 'the heart of a viking, mind of a genius and soul of a dragon' she thought
'add sarcasm, sass and selflessness and that's the basic summary of hiccup' jokes param to which valka chuckles
EXT. HIDDEN COVE - DAWN Hiccup arrives, winded, straining under the weight of a full basket. He clicks the scale he found (like a jar top). Toothless approaches, sniffing him.
HICCUP "Hey Toothless. I brought breakfast. I hope you're hungry."
"wait, you were able to drag a basket all the way there" asked ruffnut
"hey I'm not that weak" defended hiccup
"ya right" said snotlout and he grabbed hiccup left arm about to say something but stops filling his arm
"ummm… snotlout mind letting go" said hiccup after a bit feeling weird and pulls back his arm
"the heck. YOU ACTUALLY HAVE SOME MUSCLES" exclaimed snotlout which shocked everyone except hiccup and gobber and astrid
"well obtusely he does. He's been working at me forge since he was 5. That developed most oh his strength"
Hiccup drops the basket and kicks it over. Fish spill out. HICCUP (CONT'D) "Okay, that's disgusting."
The humans agree while the dragons liked their lips, forgetting they just ate
Toothless approaches, settling in to devour the feast. HICCUP (CONT'D) "Uh..we've got some salmon..."
Toothless swallows it.
HICCUP (CONT'D) "... some nice Icelandic cod..."
Swallows those too.
HICCUP (CONT'D) "... and a whole smoked eel."
Toothless nabs it, chews a few times, then spits it out. He shakes his head violently, snorts and scrubs his massive tongue on the sand.
"huh, so toothless doesn't like eels" commented heather
"no. it's not that toothless doesn't like eels. It's that dragons are scared of eels, since they can be poisonous for them" explained mala, looking at the dragons terrified of the eel
Hiccup takes note. HICCUP (CONT'D) "No, no, no! It's okay. Yeah, I don't like eel much either."
"since when" asked stoick
"since you accidentally put an eel in my plate that was alive" answered hiccup
Toothless focuses on the remainder. With the dragon distracted, Hiccup unwraps his prosthetic fin and opens it like a fan.
HICCUP (CONT'D) "Okay. That's it. That's it, just stick with good stuff. And don't you mind me. I'll just be back...here. Minding my own business."
"not suspicious at all" joked bertha causing a few chuckles
Hiccup cautiously approaches the injured tail, but every time he gets near it, Toothless sweeps it away like a cat.
HICCUP (CONT'D) "It's okay." Hiccup drops a knee on top of the tail. Toothless' head juts up, slows its chewing to a halt.
HICCUP (CONT'D) "Okay...okay.."
The dragon tenses, slowly spreading his wings. Hiccup straps the prosthetic fin in place. He cinches the straps.
"I do not like the look on his face" commented dagur
HICCUP (CONT'D) (pleased) "There. Not too bad. It works."
Toothless BOLTS! He snaps his massive wings and takes to the air, carrying Hiccup with him.
Everyone is at the edge of their seats worried for the boy. Stoick has basically gone pale as a ghost
HICCUP (CONT'D) "Woah! No! No! No!"
Hiccup struggles to hold on to the tail. As the ground speeds away, Toothless immediately TIPS into a uncontrolled bank and dive. Hiccup sees the folded fin rattling uselessly in opposition to its flared counterpart. Flap as he may, Toothless can't correct his trajectory.
Hiccup swallows his fear and crawls toward the folded prosthetic. He reaches it and YANKS it open. The flared, fan like appendage catches the air, stabilizing the twisting tail. HICCUP (CONT'D) (excited, terrified) "It's working!"
Everyone is amazed at that but are still scared for the fact that hiccup is still on toothless
Toothless arcs just short of the water and climbs... high into the air. HICCUP (CONT'D) "Yes! Yes, I did it."
"wrong thing to say" said hiccup while trying to calm astrid as she had a death grip on hiccups arm
He glances back at Hiccup, busily holding the tail open while trying to hold on. They're going to crash. Whoomp! Hiccup is suddenly thrown from the tail in the intense force of a turn.
"you just had to do that huh" asked hiccup looking at toothless
"in my defence we didn't know each other that well at the time" protected toothless, hiccup just rolls his eyes muttering something about useless reptile. Which promptly gets him tail slapped in the head
HICCUP (CONT'D) "AAAAAGGGGHHHHH!" He bounces across the water's surface and takes a dive. Without Hiccup to operate the tail, Toothless does the same, plunging in a massive cannonball.
"you must've been pretty scared after that" said thoark
Hiccup resurfaces, roughed up, but beaming. Toothless appears seconds later. HICCUP (CONT'D) "Yeah!"
Spitelout facepalms "or you'll be happy about being thrown in water cus your hiccup" he muttered
"well I was happy knowing it worked" countered hiccup
"not exactly. Since he can't open the wing on his own he can't fly" pointed viggo
"key words. On his own" said hiccup
Viggo got more curious and continued looking
EXT. TRAINING GROUNDS - MORNING
GOBBER (O.S.) "Today is about teamwork. Work together and you might survive."
"MIGHT!?" shouted all the moms (and valka in her head)
"gobber are you trying to kill them" asked atali
"of-course not" said gobber nervously trying to avoid all the glares he's receiving
ON A DOUBLE-WIDE DOOR. Gas seeps through the cracks. It BLASTS OPEN. A cloud of smoke engulfs the ring, swirling around the paired-up teens. Astrid with Ruffnut. Snotlout with Tuffnut. Fishlegs with Hiccup. All carry buckets of water, poised to throw them.
GOBBER (CONT'D) "Now, a wet dragon head can't light its fire. The Hideous Zippleback is extra tricky. One head breathes gas, the other head lights it. Your job is to know which is which."
"so there's five teens that have throwing water buckets as there job and one teen who doesn't have the same experience paired up against a dragon surrounded by fog" studied mala
"so much can go wrong" groans thoark, everyone agrees
The smoke encircles them, cutting them off from each other. The teens LISTEN and WATCH for any sign of the dragon.
FISHLEGS (muttering to himself) "Razor sharp, serrated teeth that inject venom for pre-digestion. Prefers ambush attack, crushing its victims in its..."
HICCUP (tense) 'Will you please stop that?"
"you know you're annoying when hiccup snaps at you" said toothless giggling
ON SNOTLOUT AND TUFFNUT Moving nervously through the fog, back to back. Snotlout is singing to himself to calm his nerves.
The dragons burst out laughing at this, while the humans at-least have the decency to try and hold their laughter
SNOTLOUT "If that dragon shows either of his faces, I'm gonna-" (spotting an approaching shape, terrified)—"There!" Snotlout and Tuffnut HURL their water into the fog.
ASTRID "Hey!"
RUFFNUT "It's us, idiots." Astrid and Ruffnut are soaked.
Ruffnut was held by her mom to stop her from clobbering tuffnut while astrid was about to get up but is stopped by hiccup
"astrid it was a genuine mistake, don't beat them for at least a bit" said hiccup trying to calm her
She huffs "fine" and sits back muttering "only because you said so" hiccup blushed slightly at this
TUFFNUT "Your butts are getting bigger. We thought you were a dragon."
SNOTLOUT (to Astrid) "Not that there's anything wrong with a dragon-esque figure."
"ya, no, never-mind I'm not getting involved, your on your own" said hiccup crossing his arms looking away
Astrid and ruff start beating tuff and snot who look at hiccup muttering traiter
"um, aren't you suppose to help in-case of a fight" asked thor looking at param
"In a bit" was all he answered
1 bit later and tuff and snot were bandaged up with ruff satisfied while astrid still mad is calmed by hiccup and her mother…eventually
Astrid ELBOWS Snotlout in the face. Ruffnut DROPS Tuffnut with a PUNCH to the throat.
ASTRID "Wait."
They FREEZE. A tail SWEEPS out of the fog, taking them down. Their buckets spill.
ON FISHLEGS AND HICCUP coming across them. They see the puddles of spilled water.
TUFFNUT "Oh, I'm hurt. I am very much hurt."
This causes a few chuckles
FISHLEGS "Chances of survival are dwindling into single digits now..."
HICCUP "Look out!"
A Zippleback head emerges out of the smoke. Fishlegs hurls his water at it, completely dousing the head. It leers and opens its mouth, spewing gas into the area.
FISHLEGS "Oh. Wrong head."
"fishlegs!" the group other then the teens and gobber shout
GAS FLOWS around their legs. Fishlegs flees in a panic.
GOBBER "Fishlegs!"
Beat. A clicking sound comes from behind them. Sparks flash in the smoke.
GOBBER (CONT'D) "Now, Hiccup!" The other head sweeps out of the smoke. Hiccup hurls his water with all his might. It arcs and drops short of the dragon's sparking mouth. The dragon grins, savoring the kill. HICCUP "Oh, come on!"
Hiccup hides his face in his hands and groans lowering his head
"hey, don't feel that bad, when we all joined the fire-brigade we were basically the same" said astrid trying to cheer up hiccup
stoick nods "aye, plus given gobbers training methods you weren't prepared"
"we all start somewhere lad" continued agnar
Hiccup feels better at not only about that, BUT also at the fact that his dad tried to make him feel better
GOBBER "RUN, HICCUP!" Gobber COVERS his eyes.
"GOBBER!" shouted everyone-including the dragons and bad guys-glaring at the man who just chuckled nervously
GOBBER (CONT'D) "Hiccup!"
Beat. The Zippleback hesitates. SNIFFS. Then retreats. The teens get to their feet, watching transfixed. Gobber peeks through his fingers to see...
The Zippleback backing away from Hiccup. He stands and holds his hands out, as if controlling it.
All jaws drop at this. "guess now we get to see how you did it" said ruffnut of all people
HICCUP "BACK! BACK! BACK! Now don't you make me tell you again!" The Zippleback retreats through its door and into its cave, hissing.
HICCUP (CONT'D) "Yes, that's right. Back into your cage." Hiccup slyly OPENS his vest, revealing the spotted smoked EEL from earlier. He TOSSES it inside the door, then SLAMS it shut.
the room was filled with 'oooohhhhhhhh's as everyone realised what happened
"I did not see that one coming" said alvin
"hey!" exclaimed snotlout "does that not count as cheating"
"not really, I mean his approach was different then the traditional viking approach but….." answered spitelout trailing of at the end
"he's hiccup" picked up mrs. ingermen "going against tradition is basically his specialty"
"aye" sighs stoick "plus if we knew about the eel trick we would most likely teach it during dragon training. All in all well done son" he finished smiling at hiccup
"you didn't leave the eel in there did you" asked thoark firmly
"no" butted in barf from the other side of the barrier
"he didn't" continued belch
"he came back" barf
"at night" belch
"when everyone left" barf
"and took it away" belch
"thanks for not attacking me when I did" said hiccup smiling
"no problem" belch
"none at all" barf
HICCUP (CONT'D) "Now think about what you've done." Hiccup turns to the teens and Gobber. They stare, slack-jawed
HICCUP (CONT'D) "Okay! So are we done? Because I've got some things I need to..." Hiccup jogs out of the ring, past the speechless group. HICCUP (CONT'D) "Yep...see you tomorrow." Astrid SNEERS. Something's going on.
"ok, I'll be the first one to ask. How did no one other then astrid find that suspicious" asked hiccup genuinely
"because she's a sore loser" said ruffnut
EXT. WOODS/COVE - SUNSET BEGIN MUSIC MONTAGE INT. BLACKSMITH STALL - HICCUP'S CLOSET - CONTINUOUS Hiccup cuts and stitches leather, draws and shapes steel. He works by candlelight. An overhead shot reveals what he's building: a harness, complete with handles and foot pedals.
viggo catches up "so you had saddle to rid and manually move the dragon's tailfin so it can fly. I'm almost impressed"
"how did you know how to sew" asked snotlout
"gothi taught me a few things whenever I was up at the healers hut" answered hiccup
EXT. COVE - DAY Hiccup appears before Toothless, holding the new prosthetic. Toothless runs off as Hiccup chases him down. HICCUP "Hey!"
Everyone laughs at their antics
"couldn't make it easy could you" he asks toothless
"nope" was all the reply he got
EXT. COVE - DAY Toothless and Hiccup are zooming over the ocean. The tail breaks free sending Hiccup flying.
HICCUP "Yeah! Whoa!"
"how many times did you crash in water?" asked snotlout amused
"twice only" came the replied to which everyone sighed in relief
INT. BLAKCSMITH STALL - LATER Hiccup adjusts the harness and uses a metal clamp to affix himself to Toothless' saddle. EXT. SKY/FIELD - DAWN Hiccup and Toothless zip through the air - his rudimentary harness and tail controls are working, barely. They crash land in an open field.
There were a lot of winces "how many times did you crash AT-ALL" asked tuffnut
Hiccup barely whispers "fifteen to twenty times. After that I lost count"
Everyone grimaced at this "really is a miracle how this kid is alive" said drago shaking his head
Hiccup recovers to find Toothless still rolling around in the tall grass. Hiccup discovers that it's a patch of 'dragon nip.' Toothless writhes on his back, tongue wagging, in complete bliss.
"what in the nine-realms" exclaimed agnar
Ingrind looks back at toothless "you sure it-…he's a dragon and not a giant cat"
Hiccup laughs a bit before answering "while that's still debatable, the dragon nip has the same effect on all the dragons not just toothless" all the while toothless grumbles
Rhyker raised and eyebrow "dragon nip?"
While many people glared at their side(the good guys and berkians were sitting on one side of the room and the villans were on the other side) hiccup still answered "it's like cat nip but for dragons. So dragon nip"
Rhyker nodded and continued watching, not seeing a need to argue with the logic
EXT. TRAINING GROUNDS - MORNING Hiccup grabs the head as instructed, then discreetly pulls a fistful of 'dragon-nip' and presses it up to the Gronkle's nose. It immediately stops struggling and goes weak in the knees. Hiccup drops the handful of dragon-nip to the ground. The Gronkle goes down with it, whimpering and blissful. From Gobber and the recruits' point of view, Hiccup is controlling the Gronkle with no more than a limp arm.
"so that's how you did it" said fishlegs glad at finally understanding
"that boy is finding ways to subdue these dragon with his bare hands. Who knew he had it in him" said said
Stoick sighed heavily "I would have, if I paid any attension to him"
"while your parenting is not the best to say the least, but by listening to your son and not stopping him from meeting toothless I'd say your on the right track" said atali sympathetically
EXT. WOODS - AFTERNOON The recruits walk home together, surrounding Hiccup and BOMBARDING HIM WITH QUESTIONS.
FISHLEGS "Hey Hiccup, I've never seen a Gronkle to that before."
TUFFNUT "How'd you do that?"
RUFFNUT "It was really cool."
He squirms and invents an excuse. "I left my axe back in the ring." He turns and hurries back. HICCUP (CONT'D) "You guys go on ahead and I'll catch up with you."
Dagur realizes something "wait, wasn't your axe destroyed by the nadder" he asked hiccup
All the teen are wide eyed at realising this and facepalm, followed by groans
"how are we so dumb" groaned astrid
Astrid watches, suspicious.
"I'd say your pretty smart, considering you were the only one who got suspicious" hiccup said trying to cheer her a bit
Astrid didn't feel any better but she still smiled at hiccup's attempt to cheer her up
EXT. COVE - LATER Hiccup rubs Toothless behind the ear, causing him to relax and fall over.
'hmm, so that's where the nightfury pressure point is' viggo thinks to himself while everyone else (other then the villains and mildew) awe's and this
"really is just a giant cat" murmered heather
Toothless huffs "I am just the unholy offspring of lightning and death thank you very much"
Hiccup rolled his eyes and did the same trick again and nocked toothless out, much to everyone's amusement
EXT. TRAINING GROUNDS - LATER An angry Deadly Nadder approaches Hiccup. Just as Astrid moves in to strike, Hiccup performs his special rubbing technique, which sends the Nadder down. Astrid and the other kids look on from the sideline in amazement.
INT. MEADE HALL - CONTINUOUS Hiccup sits down at a table to eat. The other recruits notice him and move over to his table to talk to him - leaving Astrid alone.
FISHLEGS "Hey Hiccup!"
SNOTLOUT "What was that? Some kind of trick? What did you do?"
TUFFNUT "Hiccup, you're totally going to come in first, there's no question."
Hiccup sighs "the only time you were right tuff…and I wish you weren't"
The group except the non=berkians was confused for a moment before realising what he mean't
EXT. COVE - LATER Hiccup is using a mirror-like object to create a patch of light on the ground. Toothless claws and chases the light patch like a cat chasing a laser pointer.
"big gaint cat reptile" said ruffnut "can't convince me otherwise"
Toothless grumbles knowing it's too late to convince them otherwise
EXT. TRAINING GROUNDS - DAY A beam lifts from the door of another dragon pen. GOBBER "Meet the Terrible Terror."
A tiny, pint-sized dragon steps out and moves toward the recruits.
TUFFNUT "Ha. It's like the size of my-"
Tuffnut is taken down in a blur.
"thank god he didn't finish that sentence" sighed out fishlegs
TUFFNUT (CONT'D) "Get it off! Get it off! Oh! I'm hurt, I am very much hurt!"
Hiccup stops the Terrible Terror with the same light-patch trick he used earlier with Toothless. The tiny dragon retreats back to it's cage. The teens approach him yet again as Astrid looks on with suspicion.
"good use of your resources to get the job done" said bertha proud of her nephew. She always knew the boy special
TUFFNUT (CONT'D) (to Astrid) "Wow, he's better than you ever were."
"ok" hiccup started "first off are you trying to get yourself killed" he paused having to hold astrid back so she doesn't kill him "second, I am NOT better than her, I only have the edge in dealing with dragons or blacksmithing, literaly anything else and she's a trillion % better then me at everything" he finishes his speech with astrid blushing at the complement, she punchs his shoulder and leans to whisper "that's for making me blush infront of everyone SO many times"
CUT TO: EXT. FOREST - MOMENTS LATER Astrid furiously hurls her axe at a nearby tree. She notices Hiccup walking by in the distance, carrying one of his trademark harnesses. She quickly tries to follow, but he loses her in the woods. She HUFFS, frustrated.
hiccup puts a hand on his mouth trying to muffle his laughs, the group looks at him giving him weird looks "what's laughing about" asked snotlout
hiccup shakes his head trying to say nothing but param buts in cus ofcourse he does
"probably because he was hiding right behind the rock" he said wanting to see an embarrassed astrid
everyone starts laughing as astrid blushes super red and groans embarisingly hiding her face in her hands
hiccup-the only one who wasn't laughing for her sake-puts an arm around her shoulder side hugging her and whispers
"hey, don't feel bad about it. Everyone messes up every now and then" he said trying to make her feel a bit better
EXT. COVE - LATER Hiccup straps a newly designed harness onto Toothless. With Toothless tied to a nearby post with a rope. Hiccup rides him in the air - while stationary. Toothless looks like a giant kite tied to a tree stump. This harness seems to work.
This got viggo thinking 'something doesn't add up' he looked towards hiccup "hey hiccup, you mind answering a question"
Hiccup looked surprised at this "oh…uh….s….sure" he didn't really trust viggo but didn't a harm in answering
"what would you usually do when one of your inventions failed" he asked hoping to find an answer
"well, since it would most of the time cause distruction dad would tell me to scrap it" hiccup answers
Viggo nods and looks back at the screen 'no wonder his inventions were a fail, getting something right on the first try is near impossible, while his father is mending their relationship It's still fragile. If I could expand the rift and get him to join me…'
'keep thinking along those lines and you won't have a head left to think' warned param mentally. Viggo stopped thinking knowing it's no use with him around
Param thinks to hiccup 'hiccup do me a favor and don't answer viggo's questions unless I give you a green flag' to which hiccup agrees
EXT. SKY - MOMENTS LATER The rope breaks and the pair CRASH into a tree. Hiccup's face is red. HICCUP "Oh, great."
"what happened" asked fishlegs
"the harness got damaged so was stuck with him" answered hiccup
"surly you had a spare tool lying around" said gobber not taking eyes of the screen, hiccup just chuckled nervously
EXT. BERK - NIGHT The streets are empty save for a lone Viking who crosses Hiccup's path.
VIKING "Hiccup."
Hiccup nods, trying to look casual. Once the coast is clear, he covertly steers Toothless into the Blacksmith's stall.
"or….not" said gobber surprised at the fact the he was surprised hiccup did something insane
"YOU BROUGHT TOOTHLESS INTO THE VILLAGE!?" exclaimed mala
"Are you insane" question thoark, genuinely at this point
"thought that was already established" answered hiccup trying to change the topic
Spitelout looked at stoick "your not gonna say something"
"while hiccup's problem solving is…..interesting" he said trying his hardest to not be harsh, something that hiccup noticed and was very glad of "what I'm more interested in is HOW DID A NIGHFURY ENTER THE VILLAGE AND NO ONE NOTICED!?" he finished shouting at the end
"aye, if that's the condition of berk's defences taking over it shouldn't be that hard" said alvin already making a plan
Toothless PRESSES himself inside, rooting through stuff and making a racket. Astrid, walking nearby, is alerted ASTRID (O.S.) "Hiccup?"
"oh thor!' exclaimed hather then looks at astrid "do you find out"
"not now, but I was SO close" she answers groaning at the end
"so you do find out eventually" concluded agnar, to which astrid nodded
Hiccup FREEZES. Then frantically tries to pry the ring off the saddle hook. It won't budge.
ASTRID (CONT'D) "Are you in there?"
Too late - she's right outside. ON ASTRID walking along the outside of the Blacksmith's. Hiccup JUMPS OUT the window and CLOSES the shutters behind him. Hiccup's harness line is stretched through the window, still attached to Toothless' saddle. HICCUP "Astrid. Hey! Hi Astrid. Hi Astrid
Hi Astrid."
Everyone laughs at this "very discreate" said hookfang
ASTRID "I normally don't care what people do, but you're acting weird. Well, weirder."
"a perfect explanation to what my life has become" said hiccup sarcastically
Toothless spots a nearby sheep and makes a move toward it. As a result, Hiccup is suddenly PULLED TIGHT against the window shutters. He STRIKES A POSE to compensate... then gets PULLED THROUGH the shutters. They snap back in Astrid's face. Astrid reopens them and finds nothing but an empty stall. In the distance, Toothless and Hiccup slip off unseen.
"well that was close" exclaimed gobber
"ya, but after that we had our first successful flight" hiccup said happily but then realises what happens and grimaces
Astrid catches this "what's wrong"
"I want to say nothing, but you'll see so just wait" was the reply that came
Astrid nodded her head and looked back at the screen unsure on what to expect
And that's it. Ngl this felt like more of a filler chapter, even though it's like the largest one yet (5118). Oh well probably just me. Hope you enjoyed. Also my preodic exams begin on 13th and end on 20th so there may not be updates for a bit.
