Final chapter folks. Enjoy :)

"You did what !?" Stoick half yelled at Gobber who had just told him what happened.

" Lied to the lad that you left but wished him a happy father and child day and pressured him to believe things will get better,"Gobber repeated in shame.

"I better go find him, knowing Hiccup and Toothless, they could be anywhere," Stoick planned and was just about to mount on Thornado until Gobber stopped him,"Look Stoick, I know how badly you want to see Hiccup, but give the boy a chance to think things over by himself."

With that, Stoick had to agree, no matter how much he wanted to go to Hiccup, he had to stay put. (Kinda ironic since Hiccup was the one who was supposed to stay put.)

"You know Toothless, to be honest, before the Red Death battle, you know when I would sneak here to hang out with you, you were the only one who cared about me, besides my mom of course."

" But I never felt useless when you were with me, thanks for being there for me when no one else was bud," Hiccup confessed and received a big lick by said dragon.

Then Hiccup had two flashbacks that was never forgotten ever since he was three.

"Hiccup, wake up, did you forget what today is?" Stoick asked a sleepy three year old Hiccup. Hiccup instintly woke up and hopped off his bed, grabbing all the stuff both father and son packed the previous night for their camping trip on Father and Child Day, well tried to.

"Slow down Hiccup or you might -" Stoick began to warn but the sound of Hiccup falling down the stairs with half of their bags finished his sentence.

"Guess I should've waited and let you help huh ?" Hiccup answered from the bottom while rubbing his head as Stoick nodded, carrying the rest of the bags.

Once they finished breakfast, saying 'see you later Val' , they headed off to the cove where they had their first competition which was drawing the best looking portrait of Berk.

After declaring that Hiccup had won that contest for the fifth time in a row, Stoick started a little game of his own.

"What the-" "Daddy, hahaha, stop that, I was distracted, hahahahahaha, I'll, hahaha, show you, hahahahahahahaha." Hiccup laughed so hard that he tried to tickle his father back but failed until Val showed up to aid Stoick.

" Traitor, hahahahahahahaha, I'll get you two, hahahahahahahaha, come on have a heart mommy and daddy, hahahahahahahahaha, please stop," Hiccup continued to laugh until he wriggled out of both of his parents grasp and tickled both of them until he decided to show mercy and let them go.

The small family had a wonderful night under the stars and that was worth remembering.

Father and Child Day, after Val disappeared at her quest...

" Dad?!" "Come on, it's Father and Child Day, I-I got everything ready for today's trip."" Dad?" Hiccup whimpered around the empty house until he quickly ran to Gobber's forge.

" Gobber, where's dad?"" He's not in the house, where is he, I can't find him, what happened to him?!" Hiccup cried once he found Gobber, afraid to think that he lost his father for good, just like his mother.

"Calm down Hiccup, shhhhh, it's okay, your father just went on a trip to the Berserker tribe to get a treaty signed, that's all, don't worry, come on, lets get some weapons made alright," Gobber soothed the upset child.

More calm, Hiccup helped Gobber out and at the end of the day, he left a sharp looking axe at the dining table in the Haddock house. Stoick came home, just looked at the axe for less than a second and just shoved it into the closet, while Hiccup was witnessing what happened .

Once his father was sound asleep, Hiccup cried out small tears on his pillow, confused and upset." Why?" He thought," Why did he just do that, did I do something to upset him? Maybe pushing my limits will get him to notice. Hmmm, what ever the reason, I know it's my fault, it just has to be."

Hiccup then came back to reality, he should have known better then to believe that training dragons will change anything on this day. "Come on Toothless, lets go to the cove, maybe that will have me forget a few things," Hiccup then decided, so he mounted on Toothless and flew off.

"Sorry Stoick, but we couldn't find him, we've searched everywhere," the teens reported with their fathers. "Not to worry, I'm sure Hiccup is .." Gobber began until Spitelout shouted while looking up at the sky," Hiccup's coming!"

Everyone froze for a second in shock until they all ran to hide in the nearest bushes.

Hiccup and Toothless landed near the lake of the cove, with bewildered faces once they saw the surroundings. "I think we came here at a bad time bud," Hiccup commented.

"Surprise !"" Happy Father and Child Day !" Everyone shouted once they jumped out of the bushes except for Stoick.

"Ohhhhh, a Father and Child Day party how nice, but my dad isn't here so I better go... Patrol the island," Hiccup commented, remembering that in order to attend a Father and Child Day party, you need your father or child of course.

Before Hiccup could mount on Toothless to fly off, he felt a hand grab his arm with a tight, but soft, grip. "Gobber, you don't need to try to convince me to stay," Hiccup began, thinking that Gobber was holding on to his arm.

"Now what makes you think that Gobber will convince you to stay," a voice answered, and not just any voice, Stoick's voice, the same person who was holding on to Hiccup's arm.

Hiccup stood still in shock but not to mention hurt, because it could be the fact that he had to train dragons to finally have his father notice him on Father and Child Day.

Hiccup didn't look at Stoick, well one because he didn't want his father to see him cry, and two well, it was kinda complicated. Stoick was confused that his son just stood there, until he finally found out the reason on his own.

Breaking the silence, Stoick replied," Hiccup, it doesn't have to do with you training dragons, it was never your fault that I neglected you on this day."

Hiccup was about to protest until Stoick cut him off saying," I was an idiot not to notice you, the day your mother was reported missing I just couldn't believe those news and you looked like your mother not to mention you have most of her traits so you reminded me too much of her and so I ended up ignoring you."

" That was until I realize that by ignoring you, you get hurt all the time, I now want to make up for all those Father and Child Days that I neglected you, can... Can you ever forgive me?"

Hiccup continued to stand still for a moment until, to both father and son surprise, he embraced his father as tears continued to fall from his forest green eyes.

" Happy Father and Child Day dad," Hiccup whispered,hinting that all was forgiven.

Hiccup then grabbed both sword and shield that Toothless was holding on to and handed them to Stoick saying," I hope you like it." The sword was obliviously made out of Gronckle Iron which was inscribed,

A chief is a hero to his village

A father is a hero to his son

The handle had a picture of a thunderdrum wrapping its tail around to make the Berk crest. The shield had a portrait of the whole Haddock family with every single dragon known to man in the background, with a nightfury on the right and a thunderdrum on the left.

Stoick then questioned," Hiccup this is amazing but how long did it take you make them, and how did you get the Gronckle iron?"

Hiccup answered with a shrug, "I managed to find out how Meatlug made the iron but I kept that a secret and it took me at least eight months to finish."

Stoick then was uneasy about giving Hiccup his gift but Gobber gave him a reassuring nod."Hiccup, I'm not sure if this is worth anything but I hope you like it." Stoick handed Hiccup a small chest that contained a blanket but not just any blanket. A forest green blanket with woven blue thread, like and aura made by... Hiccup's mother.

The blanket was given to him when he was born but when the young three year old Hiccup heard the new of his mother, he tried to throw it out on sea but it barely hit the water so Gobber and Stoick were able to get it back around that time.

"Mom's blanket... Thanks dad but, you already gave me your gift," Hiccup commented, leaving his father to ask," And that would be?"

"You," Hiccup answered, "You being here on Father and Child day is the best gift you could ever give me." And with that both father and son embraced each other again, leaving a crowd of teen and their fathers (and Gobber) tearing up a bit.

The rest of the day was perfect, Hiccup was the same drawing champion and was the champion of the dragon races.

By sunset the others left for their gift exchange, Hiccup and Stoick ( plus their dragons) had one more game that wasn't played for the sake of their dignity. Stoick made the first move on Hiccup while Thornado was intending to do the same at Toothless, while the duo was istracted of course.

" What the- Dad!?"'Hahahahahaha, Not fair, I was distracted again, hahahahahaha Toothless help me out here, hahahahahahaha !" Hiccup shouted in laughter but was answered with Toothless laughing uncontrollably probably growling the same request since the duo where getting tickled by Stoick and Thornado.

" Come on Hiccup, we hadn't done this for a long time and I'm pretty sure Thornado and I are winning this round," Stoick answered back to Hiccup as he tickled Hiccup at his ticklish spot even more , causing Hiccup to curl up in a ball of uncontrollably laughter, along with Toothless until he pushed Thornado up and tickled him, after getting Hiccup to tickle Stoick back.

The duo showed mercy until the moon showed up and the family had decided to camp for the night. Before Stoick went to sleep, he went up to Hiccup and planted a small kiss on the sleeping teen's head. "You're never going to alone Hiccup, because I love you," he whispered and before he went to his bed spot, Hiccup gave Stoick one last hug saying," I love you too dad."

The family slept under the calm stars, but one day, their missing member might come home and that is something both father and son hope for, but until then, they will continue to bond even more.

Whew... Man that was alot of typing well hope you liked it. :)
