First of all, wanted to say that I apologize for not ending my other stories. I really wanted to finish M7 but I am devoid of motivation. I have been inspired recently by the fanfics where characters get to watch their own movie and decided to give it a try. Now, you should know beforehand that I DON'T like authors watching movie with the characters. I want their reaction, not the author's. So, our author (You will recognize him) won't be commenting.

Now, I will address the name. "Beautiful & Complex Relationships." The thing is, I am not going to write just their reactions. I want to explore the relationships between all the characters there are in the movies and TV series. I want to warn you though, that some of the tv series characters will most likely also be here. So if you have not watched the series you may not understand everything. However I will be always telling you whether there are spoilers ahead.

Expect plenty of relationships, alliances, rivalries and etc. ahead. You should NOT expect relationships you have seen in the franchise to be the same here. I am not saying I will chop everything, but some things may or may not get interesting. This is also useful as anti-spoiler. Now those who have not watched the series won't be able to figure out the series characters' true nature. Also there is 1 pairing in the series that I have not seen in HTTYD2 which is disappointing (those who watched know what I mean). I will explore that part too.

Another thing to keep in mind is that this is going to be a whole franchise watching. We will, however, start with How To Train Your Dragon 2 film, not the first movie. I preferred the first one, but there are lots of fanfics with the first movie, and very few about the second. However the timeline is different - set before the first film. Only 2 other stories I have found have had the same base. One of them was completed and the other was not. So, not being satisfied with their reactions, I decided to write my own. You will also see tv series episodes (only the ones you and I choose). At the end, if you behave well, I will add HTTYD too. We will see. I can not promise you to finish it, mainly because I have a reputation for not completing them, but I feel the chances are higher now.

I will be using transcript from Wikia. It will be in bold, while reactions of the characters will be in normal font. I will add dragons and the whole village to watch the movie.

And lastly, I want to say that I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE CHARACTERS OF HTTYD. I DON'T OWN FRANCHISE, DON'T HAVE ANY ROLE AT DREAMWORKS AND AM NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE COMPANY IN ANY WAY. ALL THE RIGHTS BELONG TO DREAMWORKS PICTURES AND AFFILIATED COMPANIES. THE AUTHOR BELONGS TO DISNEY AND I HAVE NO RIGHTS TO THE SHOW HE HAS COME FROM. ALL RIGHT BELONG TO DISNEY AND AFFILIATED COMPANIES.

He was bored. Boredom was his oldest enemy and since his retirement it has come back to haunt him. He was now finishing his pizza, contemplating life:

"Hmm, what could I do now? Any dimensions open?"-he looked lazily around-"Nope, still tight. Ehhh, maybe I should do what those humans do and watch a movie or something?"

He was not in the mood for horror (as much as he liked it) but hated comedies (who finds Mr. Bean enjoyable?) so decided to settle for in-between - animated movie, preferably adventure one. So he went to RT and searched for the best animated movies. One of the first was a movie called "How To Train Your Dragon". He was already getting redder out of boredom so he just put it in (he was streaming - what is the point of paying if you have been exiled from that world?).

One and a half hours later, he was feeling much better. He found the movie likable and enjoyed a second pizza with it (this one he also ordered from himself). He decided not to wait and watch the sequel immediately.

Just like with the first film, he enjoyed the 2nd one. 'Those humans do have some good taste, after all. No wonder it is 98% on RT'-he thought to himself.

He got so addicted he watched all DreamWorks Dragons seasons too.

Now came the hard part - the withdrawal. What was he supposed to do now? Watching another movie was out of the question - he did not want to hurt his eye. Contemplating, however, was not something he enjoyed much - he already did that for a whole eternity. Time to move on.

Then, a sudden idea came to his head:

'Wait a minute! What if I can get the characters...to watch their own movie?! Ahaha, that would be perfect! And give me some much-needed fun. But first, I need to make sure I have no things to do'-he opened his calendar and looked at the next week. The only thing written there was "Contemplate Life".

-"Ah, well, been there, done that. Time to do something exciting! Now, can I bring them to the Dreamscape? Won't be easy, but since they exist in HCU (HOLLYWOOD CINEMATIC UNIVERSE) I reckon I could give it a try. Just get them all into the place and set up a movie for them. Alright, will be hard but let's give it a shot"-he flicked his fingers. Everything turned black.-"And, done!"


Hiccup was groaning loudly. Though, having come to his senses, he realized that it was not him. Or, better said, not him alone. He opened his eyes, and nearly yelped in shock. Nearby him, Astrid was grumbling with her eyes closed. Hiccup gulped in fear and decided to look anywhere but her. He was the only one that fully opened his eyes and actually move a muscle. From what he understood, they were sitting on a right side of a room. A REALLY BIG room. There was a rectangular thing in front of them, but he decided to focus on that later. Instead, he was interested in his human companions. He saw that he was sitting in the front, right in the middle, if you exclude the left part which was too dark to see. Astrid was sitting next to him, with Fishlegs on the other side. Snotlout was next to 'legs while Ruffnut and Tuffnut were next to Astrid. Hiccup was not very comfortable to be right in the middle ('Why could not have I been on the side? Just my luck...') but at least happy somewhat that he was the closest to Astrid and Fishlegs for different reasons - the latter because he rarely teased him, and the former for very obvious reasons.

The teens were slowly waking up so Hiccup decided to take a look behind him. He saw that 2nd row was occupied by Stoick, his father and the Chief of the village. He was sitting in the middle, right behind his son. Next to him, Gobbler was still snoring loudly as if he was still in his hut. He was murmuring something about having tasty limbs. Hiccup decided to ignore that and saw that many others were sitting nearby or on the 3rd and 4th rows. Those were bigger than the first two. He did notice that it was mainly teens' parents that were alongside Stoick in the 2nd row. 'I wonder what that is all about'.

Many would panic, but Hiccup was a Viking. Or at least he wanted to be one. If he had to kill a dragon, so be it. One less sheep taken every raid and if he was lucky, Astrid would finally notice him. Who knows, maybe she would even start waking up next to him more oft...'Don't go into that territory, Hiccup'-the teen scolded himself.

Astrid was the first to wake fully. She was never a deep sleeper (unlike still passed out blacksmith). So she was startled to see herself in an unfamiliar place, with unfamiliar people around her. When she saw Hiccup, her first instinct was to punch. Hiccup managed to move away somewhat, and only got a small bruise on his jaw.

"Hey, what was that for?"-he asked.

"For abducting me and bringing me to a strange place! I demand you release me!"

Hiccup gave her his best "Really?" look.

"Yeah, cause I am so strong and powerful. I mean, look at my muscles - are they not a work of art? I scooped you up by my finger and the village with the rest and brought you here"-he said, gesturing to their drowsy companions.

Astrid thought for a second and then asked:

"If you did not bring us here, who did?"


'That's my cue'-he thought happily. Time to impress. He looked at his tie once more, checked that his hat was in place and entered the room.

When Hiccup and Astrid saw him, they yelled in fear. In fact, whoever had his eyes open was screaming. Soon, almost every single Viking (even Stoick) was screaming.

"It is Loki!"

"Our time has come!"

"We are going to Hel!"

"Where is my mead?"

"Yeesh! Calm down, people! No need to panic. I am not Loki, that guy is pathetic. And no, I am not sending you to Hel. Way too cheerful for me. I am afraid I don't know where you mead is."-he answered joyfully. He may have stopped this, but he still enjoyed freaking people out.

"Then why are we here?"-Stoick asked with as much strength as he could muster. He had to be strong for his people. But inside he was quaking. He was a Dragon Fighter after all. Other creatures (or whatever it was) were not his strength.

"Cause I was bored! That's why!"

Vikings looked at each other, confused. Hiccup managed to muster a sarcastic response:

"Great reason. Fully justified bring the whole village here. Now, since you are no longer bored, can we go back home?"

Some villagers gasped, including the teens. Hiccup was never one to shy away from sarcasm, but getting the courage to do it in front of something so powerful (they assumed he was since he brought them all here without them knowing).

He flew closer to Hiccup and stared intently. Hiccup would usually avoid eye contact, but this time he decided to keep his stare. The guy had one eye anyway. After a few seconds, during which Vikings did not utter a single word, he said:

"I like you kid. You remind me of someone. I can't say I like that guy now, but water under the bridge and all that. So, pray tell me, what do you think you are doing here?"-he asked.

"Something to do with this rectangular box, in front of us, I presume"-Hiccup answered, without wavering. He was honestly surprised himself.

"You are absolutely right! You are smart, just like the previous kid. So, let me look at your friends first..."-he trailed as he started hovering in from of them. Then he got closer to Ruffnut and Tuffnut.

"Fun fact - I hate twins. You know, twins are the worst. I would probably kill you now (he was bluffing since he could not kill in Dreamscape), but you are nothing like the previous set I encountered so I will let you live. Maybe."-he said with a smile. Twins were nearly scared out of their wits, and their parent looked horrified. They turned to look at Stoick pleadingly. The chief cleared his throat.

"Ah, Chief Stoick, a pleasure to meet you. So, what is there that you wanted?"

"Who are you, demon?"-he asked.

"Well, what kind of question is that? You just answered it yourself. I am a demon! Mind you, I was retired."

Villagers looked at him in fear. Hiccup inquired:
"You decided to quit?"

"I did not say I "retired". I said I "was retired". As in, someone retired me. Without my consent. In fact, that someone was the kid before you and his equally horrible twin sister."-he retorted, sneaking a glance at scared twins in the process.

"Anyway, enough about me. Let me explain to you this box. It will show you...the future!"-gasps could be heard everywhere.-"there were 2 different parts of the future I could have shown you. The first one is what would have started today, and the second 5 years into the future. Now, because I don't care about what you want and just want to see your reactions, I am gonna go for the 2nd. I will be stopping the movie for a few breaks where you could stretch your legs or have some snacks in the bar. No mead!"-he added, to disappointment of one viking.

"Oh, and one last thing - do you see that left side? It is dark. Do you know why? Cause your current enemies are all there, watching us."

Shouts could be heard from everywhere. Vikings were looking for their missing weapons. Among teens only Astrid was doing the same. Snotlout decided not to put his head on the line (though he did try and look brave when a certain blonde was looking). Fishlegs was muttering under his breath about some numbers and statistics. Twins were still in a shock. They have not been this quiet for so long in years.

"Where did you put our weapons, demon? And why did you bring the beasts here?"-Stoick asked angrily.

"Because they won't work in here. Your weapons, not the dragons. As for the "beasts", you should know that they are an important part of your future. Now I will unveil their side and I don't want any trouble. If I see you trying anything...you will PAY!"-he became bigger and red, looking at villagers with his scary eyes. Then he shrunk back.

"Let's hope you got it. Oh, and I may or may not let the peaceful dragons go to your side. Or any one of you, who means no harm to them, go to their side. They can't breathe fire here, or any other dangerous ability of theirs. I already talked to them and they understood. Without actually moaning and yelling."

And with that, he flicked the fingers. Everyone could see dragons, looking curiously at them. Of course it did not look like that to the villagers, who thought they were appraising them before eating them. However, they could do nothing but give them a long hard glare. They noticed that in the front row, among Monstrous Nightmare, Deadly Nadder, and Gronckle and Hideous Zippleback a Night Fury was sitting. The dragon was uncomfortable being among his kind, much like Hiccup. But he had a reputation to uphold so he was sitting with his head held high and proud. People gasped looking at Night Fury closer. No one got to see the Night Fury before and lived to tell the tale.

"Yeah, yeah, a Night Fury. Get over it."-he said lazily, and added as his last comment-"Don't bother calling me. I will come when I need to. And if you are to have some conversation of whatever that is going for more than a second, the box stops. It will continue when you settle down. Got it? Good. Have fun!"-and with that, he disappeared.

The box suddenly lit up. The movie was starting.

"What did I miss?"-asked Gobbler who has just woke up.

I hope you liked it. I will start writing the next chapter before releasing this one. And kudos to those who guessed who I am talking about. Regarding the pizza, there is fanmade video of this character ordering a pizza. You should watch, if you haven't already. Tell me if you got it right. I won't be naming him, but if you have no idea, look into the reviews. Anyway, I will be releasing this hopefully in less than a week. Maybe even every few days, depending on your reception. Until then, take care.
