The first post of the new year! YAY! HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
His other Father could sew.
Was that weird? Well, knowing his actual Father, Hiccup would instantly answer Yes. However this was the Other Father.
The Father that could make a cake appear out of thin air.
So Hiccup supposed it was okay, as long as it was only his Other Father that was sewing.
Speaking of the Other Father's sewing, he had made Hiccup a brand new leather vest!
As soon as Hiccup arrived at his Other House, he spotted a large box on the table. Moving to it, and seeing his name on it, he opened it with a smile.
Within was the new vest, strapped together with thick black string.
Placing it on to see if it would fit, Hiccup was sort of surprised how it fit his small frame perfectly. He didn't know that the Other Father knew the size of his cloths.
His real Father probably wouldn't even know what shoe size Hiccup had, let along his shirt size.
That didn't matter though.
Content with his new piece of clothing, Hiccup looked to the back of the card and smiled at the letter the Other Father left him.
Dear Son,
I hope you enjoy the new vest I made you. Gobber said your old one was looking a little run down. I'll see you later today. I have a surprise for you.
Father
Placing the letter back down, Hiccup moved out of his Other House and out to the front porch. Stretching his arms up, he sighed contently.
Okay, so he had a few minutes to spar. What should he do? Go find the Other Astrid and the guys?
Maybe they had something cool planned too?
Suddenly, above him, a soft growl shot into the air. Whirling around, he looked to his roof to see a small blue Dragon staring at him.
It was crouching down near his window, staring at him with narrowed eyes.
Recognizing the Dragon as the one he saw a few days ago in Berk, he titled his head.
"Oh, hey there." Hiccup called up to the blue dragon. "There are one of you at home too." Though Hiccup still wasn't sure exactly what type of dragon it was. "You must be the Other dragon of this world." He smiled as the dragon jumped down to the barrel in front of him, staring at him with wide… normal, orange eyes.
"No. I'm not." a voice emmited from the dragon's throat, causing Hiccup to jump.
"Y-You talk! The Other you can talk!" he gasped, stumbling back.
"I'm not the other anything actually. I am only what I am, me." He flew to the next barrel, glancing at Hiccup, as if wanting him to follow him. Quickly following the mysterious talking dragon, Hiccup began to stammer.
"Y-You don't have button eyes but… There is no way you are the same dragon from my world. You can't talk there." Hiccup said, stumbling over his own feet.
"I just can." The dragon said stiffly over his shoulder, narrowing his orange eyes dangerously.
"Dragon's don't normally talk." Hiccup pointed out.
"No?" the dragon said thoughtfully.
"Of course not." Hiccup said clearly.
"Well." It sounded insulted. "You are clearly the expert on these things." I jumped to the houses above, staring down at him. "After all, I'm just a big wussy dragon."
Hiccup's eyes grew wide in realization, recalling back to when he first saw the Dragon and his friends insulted it. "Oh… I'm sorry. Really, Tuffnut and Ruffnut, they didn't mean it. That is just how the twins talk." Hiccup apologized. "But, if you really are the real dragon that I see from my world, how did you get here?"
"I've been coming here for a while. I come and go as I please." The dragon answered.
Hiccup's eyes grew wide as the dragon disappeared from one spot and magically reappeared at another.
"How-" he looked back and forth, not sure how the dragon got from the barrel to across the street without him noticing.
"It is a game we play." The dragon said, appearing from a window to Hiccup's left, making him jump.
How was he doing that?!
"A game you and… who play?' Hiccup frowned cautiously.
"You call him the, Other Father." The dragon answered simply. "He hates dragon's like me who don't do as he says and he tries to keep me out." He stuck his head into the barrel, it reappearing across the path while the rest of his body sticking out from the side Hiccup was on.
Hiccup jumped at the sight. "H-How are you-?"
"But he can't of course. I come and go as I please." The dragon snickered smugly.
"…My Other Father hates you?"
"Not like any Father I've seen." The dragon almost laughed mockingly at him. "Not like a Father at all."
Hiccup narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean? The Other Father is-"
"Amazing? Fun? Caring? You probably think this world is a dream come true." The dragon strolled calmly ahead of Hiccup, waving its tail. It paused to look back at him. "But you're wrong."
Hiccup's eyes widened. "How do you know?" he asked suspiciously.
"The other Astrid told me so. As did the other Viking teens."
"Like Snout Lout, Ruffnut and Tuffnut? That is nonsense, they can't talk. And Astrid and Fishlegs are always smiling here."
"Perhaps not to you. But us dragons have far superior senses then humans." It said smugly, waving its nose in the air. Hiccup frowned in annoyance. "We can see and smell and-" the dragon froze, his eyes going wide.
Turning his head, it growled slightly.
"What? What is it?" Hiccup asked, seeing how it suddenly grew tense.
Narrowing his eyes, the dragon took a step back. "Shh. I hear something." It commanded. With a pause, it frowned. "Oh, right." Saying nothing more, it ran off.
Watching it go, Hiccup frowned.
What… what did it mean this world wasn't what it seemed to be? That the Other Father wasn't what he appeared to be?
Jumping a bit when something landed behind him, Hiccup whirled around to see Toothless. "Oh, h-hey Other bud." He smiled slightly, glancing behind him where the small Blue dragon was once before.
The other Toothless smiled at him, following his eyes. Hiccup quickly snapped back to attention, feeling that it would be a bad idea to bring the little blue dragon up.
"W-What are you doing here bud?" he asked quickly.
Smiling, the Other Toothless approached him, nudging his leg a bit and motioning to the saddle on his back.
Realizing the Other Toothless wanted him to go flying with him, Hiccup moved forward.
"Oh? Got something you want to show me?" Hiccup blinked, climbing onto the Other Toothless' back. When his Rider was on, the Other Toothless took into the skies.

An hour after Stoick had told Hiccup he couldn't go flying, he decided he would make it up to his son.
He could only hope that Hiccup wasn't too mad at him.
Stoick knew Hiccup was probably with his friends somewhere.
He had found the group of Viking teens within the Great Hall, eating and chatting about the day. Yet as he stared at them, he could not see his son anywhere in sight.
"Have any of you seen my son?" Stoic inquired, approaching the table the young Viking teens were at. Looking up at the clan head, the teens blinked.
"Nope. Haven't seen him all day." Snout Lout answered bluntly.
"I thought he was with Gobber." Astrid admitted.
"I was with Gobber. He wasn't at home either." Stoic rubbed his chin.
"Well, we haven't seen him." The twin shrugged. "Probably ran off with his dragon some where."
"He has been wanting to go flying with Toothless lately.' Fishlegs nodded.
"He went flying when I told him not too only an hour ago?" Stoic narrowed his eyes.
Fishlegs flinched. "I-I didn't say that s-sir. I'm not even sure if he went flying or not. He might be… somewhere else in the village?" the young Viking squeaked nervously.
"Did you check your house?' Astrid inquired.
"Yes." Stoic nodded.
"He might be there now." Astrid shrugged.
"…I shall check there again." Stoic sighed, moving to leave the Great Hall
"Will come with." The teens jumped to their feet to follow.
"Do we have too?" Snout Lout sighed.
"Yes." Astrid shoved him forward.
Uh-Oh, Hiccup is so gonna be in trouble when he comes home XD
And if only Hiccup would listen to that little dragon and get out while he can 0.0
