This, is Berk. It's twelve days North of Hopeless and a few degrees South of Freezing to Death. It's located solidly on the Meridian of Misery. The village. In a word, sturdy. It's been there for seven generations but every single building is new. There's fishing, hunting, and a charming view of sunsets. The only problems are the pests. Most places have mice or mosquitos. They have...

"Hey, I'm talking to you! Put the pencil down!"

The yell made me scratch the paper I was writing on. Now that it was more than evident that the teacher was talking to me, I immediately sat correctly on my chair and left my pencil on top of my desk, but also hided the paper from view just in case.

The classroom was in complete silence and all gazes were on me. Well, most of them. The teacher's steps echoed in the room and no matter how much I pleaded in my head that he didn't come my way, he arrived at my desk and stared at me.

"So... Would you mind to tell your classmates what were you doing?"

I kept quiet. It was what I did best. Every word I said in that moment could be used later on against me, so from my mouth escaped no sound.

"I'm talking to you." Nothing. "Are you senses failing lastly? Or am I talking on another language? Speak to me!"

"On her bag." A voice said.

The teacher turned to the student. "What did you say?"

"I saw her hide a paper." The student continued and with my eyes I told him to shut up.

"I want you to take out what you hided on your bag, go in front of the classroom and read aloud what you wrote." I didn't move. "Do it. Or I'll inspect your bag personally."

I grabbed my bag, took out the paper, showed it to my teacher and before he could read what it say I tore it to pieces. It was better than let him have it. I was sent to the principal's office.

What was I doing? You may ask. Well, it's been a month since that night I had this dream where I met a viking, he and I befriended a dragon and defeated an evil queen dragon saving an entire village.

It was the night I watched a movie with Lucy. But for some reason, when I re-watched the movie it didn't happen again. I say it's a dream because I woke up the next morning on my bed, yet the dream felt so real.

I sighed and knocked on the door from the office.

"Come in." The principal said from inside and I opened the door. Then I sat on one of the chairs and before I could explain, my teacher entered and I knew this was not good.

When I arrived home I received a "well-deserved" scold from my mother. She yelled at me and said many things that hurt me. I was sent to my room without dinner, what for me was something of 'life or death'. I swore under my breath and stormed out to my room, closing the door with a loud BAM!

For hours, I did nothing more than to lie on my bed and stare at my roof. I had one hand over my stomach to stop the growling that was similar to one of a lion. I tried to not think on my hunger, but at this point it was nearly impossible.

Turning to my left I noticed Thomas -my cat- staring at me outside of my window. I stood up, carried Thomas on my arms and lie on my bed again. More less at eight o'clock I heard someone open my door and lay on the bed besides me, and I knew it was Dallas. Suddenly I felt his hand rub my back, gently.

"She didn't mean it, Anna." He said in a low voice, and I noticed he called me Anna. I remember that this guy...Hamish on the dream called me that. "She had a rough day, they paid her very little." I caressed Thomas who had fallen asleep and was curled in a ball. "Anna... You know she loves you, right?"

I turned to my right very slowly to look at him. He wasn't wearing his deep blue leather jacket. His chain was hanging out of his white T-shirt, and he had socks on but not his converse. I stared at his ice blue eyes, and what I saw in them was care. Care for me, for his little sister. I sighed.

"I don't know, Dally. This past month everything changed. Ever since that dream, nothing's the same. I'm not the same. Have you noticed I've changed? I don't focus on classes, I read more than usual, I even tolerate Thomas sleep in room... I don't know what's wrong with me."

"I know what it feels like, I've been through this. Everybody makes mistakes and we all pass through situations we would want to disappear from the face of Earth. But you're human, aren't you? You are allowed to make mistakes."

"Even if your mother yells at you and sends you to your room without dinner?" I raised an eyebrow.

"Oh, about that..." He placed two fingers on his mouth and hissed.

"Special delivery!" Someone shouted from outside. I eye widened, then I stood up and ran to my window. I gasped when I saw a teenager with black hair, blue eyes, grey t-shirt, blue dark jeans, and black converse with a big basket and a rope.

"Ahti?" I asked.

"Hello buddy." Dallas waved. Ahti was one of Dallas BFFs. He was one year and half older than me. "Got what I asked?"

"Extra-large pizza, half pepperoni, half bacon and cheese." He threw the rope and Dallas caught it. He passed it through a branch of a tree that grew besides my window, strong enough to support the weight of a 21 teenager. They lifted the basket and I grabbed it, then Ahti climbed the tree and entered my room. Thomas used the opportunity and got out of my room through the window, climbed the tree and jumped to the floor before running away. Unlike other cats, Thomas was not afraid of heights. "Hello, Ann." Ahti said.

I hugged him. "Hi." We broke the hug and went with Dallas. He took out the pizza of the basket and rubbed his palms.

"Alright. Who's hungry?" He asked. I couldn't do anything but grin.

One hour later...

"Aaahhh. Man, that was delicious." Dallas said.

"Totally." Ahti and I said at the unison and we shared a glare before we laughed.

"H-hey, what's that on your neck?" Ahti asked.

"What's what?" Dallas said lying on the floor.

"You mean my necklace?" I asked as I grabbed it from the black string, which was thin but resistant.

The necklace was a snail shell of various shades of blue, from the top a light blue almost white to the bottom a dark blue almost purple and black. On each side there were two other stones that matched with the shell.

"Who gave it to you?"

I looked at Ahti with a frown. "How do you know somebody actually gave it to me?"

"I can see it is very fragile and refined. Each one was chosen carefully to match your personality. This is not something you can go and buy in any store, believe me."

"Seems you know much about this, eh?"

"No, not really." He said with a shrug. "Just some things you learn reading."

"Nerd." Dallas said.

"This nerd bought the pizza, idiot."

"And it was delicious. Now, go away."

I rolled my eyes. "Alright Dallas, get out. Go and drink if you want." He snapped open his eyes and turned at me like if I had lost my mind.

"Are you serious?" His eyes sparkled.

"Yep, and I won't tell mom. If she asks, I'll cover you and said you went to sleep with Rachel."

Dallas stood up in a blink and ran to hug me. He carried me and moved from one side to the other. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" He grabbed a jacket from my closet, a pair of converse and ran to the window. He landed on the tree and turned at us. "Coming buddy?"

"Go on, I'll catch you guys in a moment."

"Don't be late!" He climbed down the tree and ran to catch up with the gang which was just coming to search for them. They greeted each other with fist bumps and high-fives, then turned to wave at us and begin to walk away.

"I should be going." Ahti said.

"Why don't you stay?" I asked. "You know, since last summer I hadn't a sleepover."

He shrugged. "I guess I could stay. Though your brother will kill me tomorrow, you know?"

"Its a risk you'll have to take. Thanks for the dinner, anyway."

"No problem. If it happens again, you can call me." He said as he lay on my bed and placed his hands under his head. "Maybe we could hang out or something."

"I don't know. My mom won't let me."

"I'll convince her. She'll say yes, I'm sure of it."

I smiled and lay down besides him. For almost a whole hour we talked about our summer and school, of our families and many other things, then we fell asleep.

Something woke me up. Something familiar. My skin was ice cold. I turned a bit to grab a blanket, but my bed felt weird, and empty. It was hard, and something tickled at the same time.

What's that smell? Smells like watered grass and mud.

My hand grabbed something soft but it was dirty. I opened an eye and saw dirt on my palm. I closed it again, when my mind clicked in and I snapped open my eyes. I gasped and sat straight. Looking at my surroundings, there were trees everywhere and I was sitting on the ground. Ahti was nowhere to be seen. This had happened before...

~Hello again. Missed me?~

Oh God. Now I was sure, I remembered that voice too well. My internal voice.

I was back on Berk.

...so that meant that wasn't really a dream. How did I returned? How did I went home last time? How much time would I stay here? Did I really saved Berk from a monstrous dragon the size of a mountain?

Leaving my questions aside, I went to find the village. I didn't remember the path exactly, last time I came here and was chased by a dragon with spikes on its head and tail, and I got one on my leg.

It wasn't less than a month since I saw the guys. Curious fact, I supposedly spent here more than two months and when I went back home it was the first day of summer.

About almost an hour later I saw a dragon. The dragon saw me and walked to me, then it sniffed me.

"What is this scent? You're not from here, are you?"

I froze. Did the dragon just... talked? A little kid appeared out of nowhere and shouted, "Spike! Come here!"

Apparently the dragon was "Spike". It was a blue...monstrous nightmare if I wasn't wrong, and until now I realized it wasn't as big as I remembered. This one seemed to be younger.

"Lunch time!" The dragon turned around and flew to the kid. When the kid noticed me he waved at me and then mounted the dragon, flying away. I was still shocked. Since when I can understand dragons?

~Last time you came here. A poisonous dragon bitted you on your arm and somehow you survived, but you gained a special ability~

That explains my scar on my arm. I always wondered what happened.

I went the way the kid and the dragon went too. Minutes later, I recognized the village and I couldn't help but smile. But also I got a few questions. For example, did dragons and Vikings got well along? Did there were no more raids? Did Berk finally lived in peace?

When I heard vikings yelling and dragons growling I supposed not. To my surprise, dragons were now living among vikings, but they didn't seem to be getting well-along.

"Bad dragon! Let go off my food! Drop it, pesky dragon!" A viking cried grabbing a leg chicken and a little dragon, a terrible terror trying to take it off from her.

"But I want food! I'm hungry!" The dragon cried.

"Get off my roof! You pest!" Another viking exclaimed to a deadly nadder, who wouldn't leave.

Suddenly people began running away and looking for some cover. Two vikings I have no idea their names are but one of them had a bucket on the head, used two shields like umbrellas. I looked at the sky and eye widened when I saw a huge pack of dragons, suddenly pooped! I ran straight to the two vikings.

"Hello lass." One of them greeted me, he had a hook instead of his right hand.

"Hello!" The other viking with the bucket on the head greeted me.

"Hi." I said to both. "Uhh, could you explain me why...?" I pointed up and the first one spoke up.

"Every day at three pm. They're regular at least." I shuddered and placed two fingers on my nose, trying to not breathe in the disguting smell. What shocked me more was that dragon poop was in different rainbow colors. When it was over most of the vikings grabbed shovels and started to clean. "Hey, I haven't seen ya around before. What's your name?"

"I'm Annabelle. Who are you?"

"I'm Mulch, and this is Bucket." Bucket waved at me. "Nice to meet you."

"Same here. Hey, would you tell me where's is the chief's house? I have something to talk to them."

"Over there." He pointed right and I thanked him. Then I ran off. Unfortunately, someone ran on my way and I couldn't stop in time, so I bumped into him and ended on top of the teen. I shook my head to get off the dizziness and sat on the ground.

"I'm sorry." We said at the same time and I snapped my head up at the tone of his voice. My blue eyes met two green emerald ones. The teen had auburn hair, a small scar on his chin, he wore a green sleeved shirt, dark green pants, a brown belt, a furred vest and brown boots. Er, boot. I immediately recognized him.

"Annabelle?" He asked with wide eyes.

"Hiccup..." I stood up and ran to hug him. He hugged me back, tightly. "I can't believe it's you!"

"I can't believe it's you!" We broke the hug, but still held hands. "I mean, you-you never said when you'll leave, or when you'll come back and..."

"...I went to sleep with you on your room and then I woke up in my room back at home!"

"I'm glad you're back." He smiled at me. "Come on, I'll let you some clothes you can use. Also, I think my dad's gonna be happy to see you. And don't forget the gang, and Gobber and–"

"Yeah, I missed all of them too. I can't wait to see them!" I exclaimed and he chuckled. We arrived to the house and he gave me a green shirt, a brown belt, green pants and brown boots, just like him. "Oh, I remember this. Twin brother." I said with a smile and he smiled back.

"You should, twin sister. Come, let's go and see the others." Hiccup opened the door, only to find a black large lizard with wings on the door.

"Toothless!" I exclaimed. He tackled me to the floor and licked all my face.

"Annabelle! I knew you were back! I recognized your scent from a mile away!" He said and I scratched his scales.

"I had missed you too. Would you let me...?" I gestured to his saddle.

"Don't have to ask. Get on!" He exclaimed exited and I mounted him. Hiccup smiled and mounted too, then there was a click! And I directed my gaze to the left. Instead of a foot there was a prostetic leg.

"Oh...right." I muttered to myself. Hiccup had saved the village from the Red Death, but it costed him his leg.

We flew off and in seconds we arrived to the killing ring, just that now I supposed they didn't kill dragons anymore. There were the teens and each one had dragons of their own.

"Hi everyone." I said as I dismounted Toothless with the help of Hiccup, who instead of offering a hand grabbed me from the waist and carried me down. I cleared my throat and Hiccup realized what he did before letting go of me and scratching his head awkwardly.

"Whoa. I must be dreaming, cuz I just saw Annabelle mount off Toothless." Tuffnut said and Ruffnut nodded. He then looked at his sister. "Whoa, what are you doing in my dream? Get out! I don't want you too!" I shook my head.

Fishlegs was the first to approach. "Annabelle, you're back!" He wanted to hug me but realized what he was about to do and stopped himself. I smiled and hugged him, then he hugged me back.

"I certainly am, Fishlegs." There was a growl and I turned around to find a Gronkle behind me. "This is your dragon, right?"

"I'm Meatlug. It's lovely to meet you!" She said and I smiled.

"Yeah, yeah. Wait until you see Hookfang." A voice said from behind, it was Snotlout. "He's a monstrous nightmare. The best dragon of them all." Hookfang set himself on fire and his pants got on fire as well. He ran straight towards a bucket of water. I chuckled and patted Hookfang.

"Hi boy."

"Hello there, human. I'm glad to see you again."

"Same here." Then I went to the twins. "Hi guys. Who are those?"

"These are Barf and Belch." Ruffnut introduced.

"Hey! I was going to say that! No fair!" They began to fight each other. I rolled my eyes and went away. Last but not least was Astrid, who smiled at me. We hugged each other.

"Hi Astrid, I'm happy to see you."

"Same here!" She paused and glared at me before saying, "Why are you wearing Hiccup's clothes?" She asked.

"That's what I used last time I was here." I said. She shook her head and dragged me from the hand towards her dragon, a deathly nadder.

"Hello again."

"Hi there..."

"Her name's Stormfly." Astrid told me. "Now, get on her." She said as she mounted Stormfly.

"Why?"

"You just have been here less than five minutes and I know that you're not gonna wear the same clothes as Hiccup." She stated. I looked at Hiccup and he raised an eyebrow, I replied with a shrug and we flew off.

We arrived to her house and I took a moment to admire it, it was beautiful. More girl-like. I greeted her parents and we went upstairs to her room. There was a bed, a wardrobe and a box with weapons, mostly axes. She went to her wardrobe and got out some of her clothes, before she said "Gotcha!" And let me some clothes. "Here. I'll give you time to dress, when you're ready come down."

"Thanks Astrid." I said before she nodded and leaved. In ten minutes I was ready. I was wearing black pants and brown furred boots, a blue sleeved shirt that reached my wrists and under it a light blue sleeved shirt that reached the middle of my hands. On top of my shirt, I wore a short brown furred vest that reached below my chest and a brown belt.

I went downstairs and Astrid was slightly surprised about my new look. She nodded pleased and suggested that she wanted to make my hair. She started to braid it and ended in a messy french braid, then we returned to the arena. Everyone stared at me with a blank expression and I blushed. "What?" I asked.

"Well, you look... Uhhh..." Hiccup began, unable to hide his blush.

"Beautiful." Fishlegs finished and I smiled. Tuffnut and Snotlout were speechless and I chuckled.

"Okay. So, who wants to tell me what you do in here?"

When night fell, Hiccup let me stay on his house and I thanked him. We encountered Stoick in there. "Welcome back, lass." He greeted me.

"Thanks chief." We had dinner and then we went upstairs to sleep. I fell asleep thinking of the joy that I had returned and I couldn't be more glad of been here.

The next day I woke up and I nearly forgot I was back in Berk. I stretched and went downstairs to have breakfast, Hiccup and Toothless were already up.

"Morning." I said.

"Morning." Hiccup replied.

"Morning." Toothless gave a...toothless yawn. Hiccup served two bowls of cereal. After we finished, we were going to the arena again to meet the others, when we saw Stoick and Gobber talking to someone I didn't recognize.

"Who's talking your father to?" I asked and Hiccup groaned.

"That's Mildew. He likes to complain about everything, specially dragons. Come on bud, let's see what is this time."

We turned around and flew towards them. We arrived just in time when we heard the old and grumpy man say, "You need to put those dragons in cages!" I gasped and ran to the vikings.

"What? No! There's no need for that!" I said. The old man glared at me. Boy, he gave me chills.

"If you don't, they'll eat us out of house and home and destroy the entire village!"

"Why would dragons do that? It's not like they love to destroy things. They're just dragons being dragons!" I explained. The vikings talked between them, wondering if they should cage them or not.

"Look Stoick, I think I speak for everyone when I say you better do something about it." He said lastly before walking away with a sheep along him.

"Better speak for yourself." I muttered.

Later on...

Stoick and Gobber where discussing what to do about the old man's complain. After bringing many ideas that didn't seem good, Stoick gave up.

"Maybe Mildew was right. We have to figure something–"

"No, no, wait, Dad. What if I deal with the dragons?" Hiccup suggested. Stoick glared at him like if a third eye had appeared on his forehead.

"You?"

"Who else? If anyone can control, I can. I'm the best man for the job."

"Hiccup, you're not even a man yet." I said and he glared at me.

"You're not helping me. Besides, I won't be a man if you don't give me a chance to be!"

"Fair enough." Stoick said. "You'll have your chance, starting tomorrow."

"Okay, gang, there's gonna be some changes around here." Hiccup said confidently the next day. A dragon tried to grab a basket from a viking woman. He ran quickly to them and calmed the nadder, placing a hand on its snout. But it was startled again when a gronkle passed by chasing some chickens, and the nadder went after them. I walked to Hiccup.

"Are you sure you know what you're doing?" I asked worriedly.

"Of course. I've got everything under contr–" He didn't finish when we heard a chirp and we saw a nadder and a nightmare fighting near a farm setting a few sheep on fire. I ran to them and calmed down both dragons.

"Alright, you guys just calm down!"

"He called me big-headed!" The nadder cried.

"He called me pet!" The nightmare replied.

"There's no need for insults. Just spread apart." They did so and I sighed in relief. It did helped I could understand dragons now. However, today there was more chaos than yesterday. Moments later, the sky was full of dragons and I ran to a house to protect myself, but Hiccup wasn't so lucky.

At night...

Hiccup, Toothless and I were on his room, while I held a block of ice on Hiccup's head. When I asked for ice, I didn't expect them to have literally a block of ice.

"Oh, everything hurts. Even this." He lifted his prosthetic leg.

"That only means it really hurts." Toothless said. I nodded.

"Hiccup, Annabelle?" A voice asked from the first floor. It was Astrid.

"Astrid? Perfect. I don't look too beat up, do I?" Toothless gave a pity smile. "Oh great. Dragon pity. Hey Astrid! What a surprise!" Hiccup said with a false joy as Astrid entered the room and I removed the block of ice.

"So, how was your day?" She asked.

"Uh, uneventful. Hung around the plaza, you know..."

"Yeah, I do know." She said. "We saw you two out there. It's hard to believe you're still standing."

"To be honest he was sat down this whole time while I tried to help him with his headache." I said and Hiccup let himself fall into his bed, exhausted.

"Ugh! I'm gonna see flamming sheep in my dreams for the next month." In that Stoick called Hiccup.

"Hiccup, what's going out there? The plaza looks like a war zone." He said worried. I raised an eyebrow.

"Well, compare this to the movies at home or something as big as the World War II and this is like Heaven." They all stared blanky at me. "And I'll shut up." I muttered.

"I know it looks bad..."

"Really bad." Astrid muttered at my ear.

"...but this is just phase one of my master plan!"

"So you do have a plan?" Astrid and I asked at the same time surprised.

"What kind of question is that? Of course I do! Very complex, lot's of drawings, several moving parts. Pretty wild."

"Uh-huh. Well, this better be real. Because Mildew's stirred up the whole island. And if you don't get those dragons under control, they'll be calling for their heads." Stoick said lastly before he leaved us with our eyes wide and Toothless worried.

"I don't like the sound of that." Toothless crooned sadly. I walked to him and patted him trying to comfort him.

"Don't worry, Toothless. Your head's not going anywhere." He nuzzled me affectionally and I smiled. "Hiccup knows what he's doing." I said before I turned to him with a questioning look. "Right...?"

"Of course I do! I'll tell you guys on the morning."

So we waited all night, especially me, for today to come. We all gathered at the now not-killing ring and Hiccup told us about his "master plan". But when he explained us, it seemed more like an idea he had from one day to the other.

"That's your plan? Train dragons?" Ruffnut asked.

"Where we used to kill them?" Tuffnut continued. I had to admit it was a good idea, but right now it wasn't the time to try and train dragons. We needed a real plan and of course, Hiccup had none.

~Does it remind you of somebody?~

Shut up.

"Right...because we don't do that anymore. That's why is available."

"Actually the dragons do seem a little nervous." Astrid said.

"Seem?" I asked. "They are nervous. Just hear what they say. At this rate I'm going to have a migraine soon." I said placing two fingers on my nose, between my eyes.

"That's because they're sensitive, Meatlug especially." Fishlegs said. "She lost a cousin here. We try not to talk about it."

"I just can't believe we have the arena for ourselves. How did you happen to convince your Dad?" I asked Hiccup. He laughed awkwardly and scratched his head with his hand. "Oh no. Hiccup I know what that means. We're going behind his back, aren't we?"

Hiccup clapped his hands. "There you go, talking about that...here's the thing." I glared at him and he ignored me. I wanted to hit him on the head but that wouldn't solve anything. Except my "anger issues". "Okay, the dragons are out of control. We want them to live in our world without destroying it but they can't without our help. They've been blowing things up in the village...we've gotta do something about that."

However the twins understood exactly the opposite, help the dragons blow stuff.

"Guys this is serious! Mildew wants all of our dragons caged. And I don't know about you, but that's not okay with me."

"Well said Hiccup. Very well said." I congratulated him, making my anger go away little by little.

"She's sorry." Tuffnut said. Ruffnut glared at her brother. I found it funny that it happened something similar all the time with Dallas and me.

After that Hiccup explained us what to do when dragons took things they were not supposed to either grab or eat, by scratching them in the chin. Snotlout been Snotlout, had to do things his way and yelled at Hookfang to drop a load of bread. Hookfang actually dropped it, but grabbed Snotlout instead.

"Should we help him?" Tuffnut asked chuckling.

"Uh... Maybe." I replied.

"You guys still there?" Sounded Snotlout's voice muffled. "Can somebody do the chin- scratchy thing?" He asked.

Later on...

We arrived to the village expecting to see people and dragons fighting over anything at all, but it was all quiet and peacefully.

"Where's everybody?" I asked to no one in particular, but in that moment there was an explosion from not too far away and we all ran towards the mushroom-like cloud.

"Ow! Stop it! Give it back, it's mine!" A viking cried.

Where supposedly they stored the food for the winter, now was a pile of smoking splinters. And to make it worst, we found Stormfly and Hookfang on the scene of crime.

"They've eaten everything!" Stoick exclaimed angrily. "We've got nothing left for the freeze!"

Mildew appeared. "I warned you Stoick. But did you listen to me? No. You put a bunch of teenagers in charge! Now look at what the dragons have done! Caging is too good for these beasts."

"Teenagers? Beasts?" I repeated as I made my way towards him. "That's the only thing you care about, caging the dragons. You don't care at all about this situation. You only want them caged because you hate them. You're a coward."

The old man just glared at me once more. The sheep "Baahhed" at me before walking away. I shook my head and sighed.

"Dad, I swear I can fix this." I heard Hiccup say. "We-we were just starting to–"

"Enough Hiccup!" Stoick exclaimed. "How can I trust you to control all the dragons, when you couldn't even control your own?" That's when we saw Toothless digging into a basket of fish.

"Oh Toothless..."

"Bucket! Mulch! Man the boats! We need nother catch!" Stoick ordered.

"It's too late, Stoick. It took us six month to catch all that fish." Mulch said.

"Don't tell me it's too late! We've got to try!"

"Of course we do!" Mulch quickly corrected. "Uhh, don't tell the Chief it's too late, Bucket! You're always so negative!"

"I don't know what is it with me." Bucket said. However Hiccup didn't give up so easily.

"Dad please! You gotta listen to me. I know dragons better than–"

"Not now, Hiccup. I have a village to feed." Stoick said. Great, put your responsibility over your own son. Now I remember why I hate fathers so much. "The dragons have done enough damage. By tonight, I want every one of them caged. Understand?" I gasped. I certainly didn't have a dragon, but I didn't want the other teens' dragons to be locked up in a prison!

"Bah! You can't just cage these dragons! You need to send them away now!" Mildew said. No. That couldn't hap–

"Stoick, Mildew's right!" A Viking said.

"Get 'em out of here!" Another joined.

"You're right, Mildew. We'll cage them tonight, and in the morning, Hiccup will send them off the island." Stoick decreed and we shared a look of horror. "I'm sorry, son." He said before turning away.

After that we all gathered in the Great Hall, and it seemed like if we had written "SADNESS" all over us.

"I can't believe we have to send them away!" Snotlout said.

"It's gonna be weird. I got used to seeing Stormfly's face being the first thing I see every morning." Astrid only got more depressed because she had been mixing her soup a hundred times and it had taken the form of Stormfly's face.

"Every night before I went to sleep, Meatlug would lick my feet. Who's gonna do that now?!"

"I volunteer Tuffnut!" Ruffnut exclaimed. Tuffnut was too sad to care at all.

"Whatever. What time should I be there?"

"Come on, guys. Let's get this over with." Astrid said standing up and leaving, the others following behind.

"This is the worst day of my life! We're never gonna see our dragons again!" Fishlegs cried.

"I don't even have a dragon." I muttered sadly.

"We can't let that happen! Toothless is the best friend I've ever had." Hiccup said. Then he realized what he just said. "Sorry, Annabelle."

"It's ok. I get your point. I neither want Toothless nor the other dragons to be locked up like once they were. I was and it's not pretty." I said remembering last time, they've locked me and chained me up because I tried to protect Toothless.

Mildew walked towards us with a sad face, but we knew it was fake. "Oh, Toothless, I'm gonna miss you so much..." He mocked. "You know what your mistake was? Thinking dragons could be trained. But a dragon's gonna do what a dragon's gonna do. It's their nature. And nature always wins." He said lastly before walking away.

"I'm done with him!" Toothless said and before he could attack him out of anger, the Great Hall doors open letting in a cold chill that made the fireplace go out. Toothless relighted the fire with a plasma blast.

"Oh! Thank you, Toothless." Said a Viking woman. Suddenly Hiccup had an idea.

"You know what? Mildew is absolutely right!"

I looked at him like he was mad. I was just three days in here of knowing that guy and I already hated him, and Hiccup just gave him the reason when he caused all of this in the first place? "Excuse me, would you repeat your words?"

"Just come with me! We have to stop the others. Come on, bud!"

We flew off and arrived at the arena just in time to see the gates were starting to close. "Don't close it!" Hiccup yelled. We landed near the gates, then he grabbed the lever to open them back.

"We are not locking them up." I said with a smile.

"What happened?" Astrid asked. "Did you change your father's mind? Or are we going behind his back again...?"

"Uh... one of those." Astrid turned to me and I held two fingers up. She sighed. "Look. The dragons are gonna do what they're gonna do. It's their nature. We just need to learn how to use it!"

The teens looked at each other with hope in their eyes.

The next day, Mulch and Bucket were trying to catch fish. But they didn't happen to have any luck. That's where we came in.

Snotlout, Hiccup and I flew over to the boat. "Snotlout, scare us up some dinner!" Hiccup ordered.

"Dragon attack!" Bucket yelled alarmed.

Hookfang dived into the ocean, scaring the fish and herding them into the fishing nets. "WHOO-HOO!"

"Hey! Thanks, dragon!" Mulch thanked.

"THAT'S RIGHT! THAT JUST HAPPENED!" Snotlout exclaimed. Hiccup and I shared a smile.

Then we flew among Astrid and Fishlegs toward Mildew's field, where the old man was trying to plant more cabbage. "Come on! Follow us!" Hiccup yelled to the others, what caught Mildew's attention.

"Huh?"

"Afternoon, Mildew!" I said and waved my hand at him, smirking. Mildew narrowed his eyes wondering what was going on.

Astrid used Stormfly's tail to dig into the soil, while we flew down to pour cabbage seeds into the ground-up dirt.

"Three o'clock! Time for the fertilizer!" Hiccup announced.

Mildew looked puzzled. "Fertili–?" Hundreds of dragons flew over Mildew's field, Fishlegs and Meatlug joining them.

"Okay, Meatlug, let 'er rip!" Fishlegs said. Meatlug and the rest of the dragons began pooping onto the field, providing a good fertilizer to help grow Mildew's cabbage. Still I had to cover my nose to not throw up.

"Smile, Mildew! We just saved you three months of work!" Hiccup said and I laughed.

In the forest, the Twins used Barf and Belch's explosions to scare a sounder of wild boars. Once they ran out of the forest, we herded them all into the village's slaughterhouse.

"That's the way to do it!" I cheered.

"Whoo-hoo! That was awesome!" Fishlegs exclaimed in joy.

"How did you know that was gonna work?" Astrid asked stunned and I remembered yesterday at the Great Hall.

"Because they're dragons, and they're gonna do what dragons do." I said.

"We just have to work with them and not against them." Hiccup continued. "You know who we should actually be thanking–?" Before he could reveal how he knew that, Stoick and Mildew appeared.

"Speaking of whom..." I muttered.

"There they are, Stoick! Those dragons don't look like they're in cages to me."

"No. This is not what I asked for."

From one moment to the other we were all gathered on the arena, when Stoick and Gobber approached us. This didn't look well.

"Oh, no! What's Stoick gonna do to us?" Fishlegs asked fearfully.

"I hope anything but locking us in a cell." I said.

"I'm too pretty for jail!" Ruffnut exclaimed.

"Ha, where'd you hear that?" Tuffnut asked and I actually wondered where did Ruff heard that.

"You all disobeyed my orders... and there will be consequences." Stoick said.

"I told you we were gonna get in trouble. Ugh, you never listen to me!" Astrid said.

"Dad, if anyone's going to get in trouble, it should be me." Hiccup said, ready to take all the responsibility.

"Nope. You all had a hand in this. You took over this place without asking. You released the dragons against my wishes. Things are going to change around here. That's why I–"

"You're getting a Dragon Training Academy!" Gobber cut him off and we all stared in shock at them.

"Gobber! I wanted to tell them!" Stoick cried.

Suddenly our confusion and shock was replaced by relief and happiness. "I'm sorry. You're right. Go ahead." Gobber apologized.

"Well, you told most of it!"

"You can tell him the part about how proud you are of them!"

"GOBBER! Hiccup– well, what he said. You've all made me proud. This Dragon Training Academy is for you." He pulled the lever and opened the cages releasing all the dragons.

"Hookfang! My buddy!"

"Good to see you, Snotlout!"

"Hey, Stormfly! I missed you so much!"

"Oh! So I have Astrid!"

"Meatlug! Oh, who's Daddy's little baby?"

"I'm Daddy's little baby!"

"Hey, Toothless!" I yelled as both Hiccup and I ran towards him and then hugged him.

"Hey, bud!"

"Hey guys! Thanks for never giving up!"

"Oh, I'll get those dragons yet." I heard Mildew say and I groaned in the inside.

"Now all you have to do is train 'em." Stoick said.

"Not a problem, Dad. After all, I've got him." Hiccup said referring to Toothless.

"Ah-hem?" Astrid and I said at the same time. Something was telling me she and I would get well along later on.

"And...them, too." After that Hiccup drew all of his friends with their dragons on his notebook, and I was there too even I didn't have. The next day Hookfang and Meatlug were arranging the new sign on the new Academy: The Berk Dragon Training Academy.

"Berk Dragon Academy. I like the sound of that." Astrid said.

"You know what? Me too." I said as I leaned my elbow on Hiccup's shoulder and crossed my left leg in front of my right one. Hiccup smiled at me, before staring back at the academy.

PHEW! DONE!

First thing, I realized after I wrote the chapter that supposedly The Gift of the Night Fury was released a year before the series, and Meatlug here is a girl while there she was considered a boy. So I'll write TGotNF too, but in this case it'll take place after RoB. I'm too lazy to change all of this just to fit with the other story I haven't even wrote down yet!

Second, many of you guys reviewed about a sequel. Guess what, this is not. Kidding! This is the first chapter of my new story How to live a cartoon I– sequel of How to live a movie. And just for you to know, new OC characters will appear later on. That includes dragons as well! By the way, the profile picture of the story is Annabelle, I did the drawing myself.

HOPE YOU LIKE IT! DON'T FORGET TO FAV, FOLLOW AND PLEASE REVIEW! UNTIL NEXT TIME!
