Remember this has spoilers in it! so I advise watching the third film before reading. or at the least KNOW what happens in the third film. but anyway lets get on with How to Train your Dragon 4!

Chapter 1- "There were dragons"

"Back when i was a boy, we had dragons" Hiccup says while staring out into the open ocean. Him, Astrid and their two kids, Brenda and Jack, have been sailing for hours. Hoping to once again find the world which the dragons now live. Its been just over 7 years since Hiccup and everyone else said goodbye to their dragons. In that time a lot has happened. Berk has been fully rebuilt, with many more people living there then there used to be. Fishlegs and Ruffnut got married a year or so ago, Eret became the new teacher in what used to be dragon training, but is now training on how to use weapons for mostly self defense. Gobber still has yet to find a replacement for him in the forge, he hopes Jack has the same skills Hiccup did when it came to building and fixing things. He can only hope.

"They populated the air and came in many different colors. some blue, some white, red, green orange" He says, "But my best friend, he was the darkest black you could find" Hiccup finishes. Jack wows at the fact that the sky once was exciting to really look at. Hiccup picks up Jack as they start to see a dense mist a mile or so out. Hiccup hopes its the waterfall that leads to that beautiful world. He and Astrid have been talking about sailing here for a while now, but its pretty hard to discuss it when everyone decides to be in earshot when they do. not a single soul aside from their family can know where this world is. Nobody can know, so word never slips out of the location of it.

"We'll find him hunny" Astrid says as she puts a hand on Hiccups shoulders. Brenda hugs tightly on Astrid's leg, and Jack very much enjoys being held by his father because that means he can play with his beard.

The mist keeps slowly approaching, and Hiccup hopes it isn't another misleading landmark. that damn waterfall a few miles back gave him the biggest letdown of his life.

"Dad, why are we going to where the dragons are?" Brenda asks, and Hiccup looks down at her and smiles. "I want you to meet the friend who made my life so amazing" he says. Brenda, their 6 year old daughter, has the hair color of Hiccup but the same blue eyes as her mother. Jack is a 5 year old, but he has Astrid's blonde hair color and Hiccups green eyes. he also has Hiccups nose. Hiccup couldn't imagine having a more beautiful family.

"anyway as I was saying" he states, "me and your mother would go flying almost every day, and try to save the dragons from all the bad people in the world". Astrid sits down on the bench in the front of the boat. Hiccup made this boat almost by himself. Eret and Snotlout helped a lot making it. It is a nice sturdy boat.

"So if you both saved them, why did they all disappear?" Jack asks, sort of tugging on Hiccups beard. He moves jacks hand from his beard, and looks him in the eyes, then back at the other two. "Because most people didnt think like us. most people did not like living with dragons" Hiccup says. Astrid sits up, "And until we can all learn to get along, man and dragon will have to live separate" She finishes.

Hiccup, with Jacks help, lower the anchor to the boat and Astrid puts the sail up. They all stare at the mist, hoping that maybe its what they were hoping for.

A minute passes and nothing.

another minute... nothing

then...

They see a dragons head pop up. Followed by another head, then three more tinier heads. The mist clears a bit and Hiccup sees Toothless again. Jack hops out of Hiccups arms, and both he and Brenda run to the other side of the boat, and Astrid follows them. Hiccup gasps slightly. He finally found him.

Toothless gets up, and flies to the boat before landing on the bow of it. Toothless stares directly at Hiccup in a sort of defensive look to him. his pupils are slit and his posture looks how it did whenever something threatened the big guy.

"H..Hey bud" Hiccup says, "Remember me?". Toothless slowly moves toward him. Both Brenda and Jack try to hide behind their mother. They didn't think that dragons were actually real, but some made up fairy tale to scare them. They are both terrified. Toothless continues moving towards Hiccup until he is a few feet away. He continues to stare at Hiccup dead in the eyes, still looking very defensive. After all, it is his world down that waterfall.

Astrid does her best to grab her two kids and hold them tightly, she is slightly frightened herself. "Its gonna eat daddy" Jack whispers into Astrid's arm. She stares at both Hiccup and Toothless.

Hiccup gulps , as Toothless has yet to change his stance. He thought Toothless was fooling around. But what if he did forget about him? Maybe those years eventually made Toothless forget the time they were together. No, that's impossible he thinks. Hiccup, with all the courage he can muster, reaches his arm out in Toothless's direction and covers his own eyes. Toothless looks at his hand and leans in an inch or two and takes a sniff. His pupils expand and he pounces onto Hiccup and they both fall to the floor of the boat, Hiccup mostly playfully screaming in the process, and Toothless begins licking his face in excitement. Both the kids let out a terrifying scream because they feel the boat under them bouncing slightly. Astrid does her best to assure them that it will be okay.

"Hey Bud i missed you too" Hiccup says as Toothless continues licking him and prancing all around. Astrid looks up and starts laughing. "see? He's not gonna eat your father" She says as she continues laughing. both Brenda and Jack refuse to move even a single muscle, still believing the dragon is mean. "How's the new tail holding up" Hiccup says half seriously, laughing in the process.

"See? they are both friends" Astrid says as finally the kids look towards their father and see the Night Fury jumping all around the front of the boat. Toothless uses his head to push down Hiccup again and gives Hiccup one final big lick and turns his attention to Astrid and the little ones. Toothless turns his head slightly in confusion before looking back at Hiccup. He smiles and turns to Astrid, "Brenda Jack, come here" Hiccup says. they both still look scared and nervous. Jack is still attempting to hide his face once again. "Go on guys, it will be fine" Astrid says as she nudges them to start walking toward Toothless. Brenda holding her arm nervously while Jack manages to cover one of his eyes. Toothless stares at the both of them while they slowly stop right next to Hiccup and only a foot away from Toothless.

"Okay, I want you to both to hold out your arms" Hiccup says as Brenda hesitates to do so.

But after a few moments of hesitation they finally both slowly reach there hands out. Hiccup grabs their wrists, "Okay now hold your hands flat, like this" He says and flattens both of their palms. Brenda just about looks like she is gonna pass out from being scared. Never in her life did she think she would ever see a real life dragon. Of course they never believed her father anyway with all those stories. Like how there was this guy who 'controlled' dragons and was a bad man. That was her favorite story of them all.

"Now let him come to you" Hiccup says and backs away a little. Jack and Brenda have their hands fully extended in front of Toothless. Jack uses his other arm to once again cover his face again. Brenda closes her eyes and turns her head to her side.

After another solid moment of hesitation from Toothless, he slowly leans and presses into the kids palms. After a brief moment Toothless retracts and continues looking on at the family. Both Brenda and Jack Look at Toothless and smile deeply in awestruck. Toothless then darts his head to Hiccup and gives him a playful look, before turning his body around and lowering his back. Toothless roars like some sort of calling, then it goes quiet for a moment. Then Astrid hears that all too familiar squak. Astrid looks toward the mist cloud and sees Stormfly dart from it and heading towards the boat.

She lands and Astrid runs right toward her and gives her a huge hug. "Its been so long girl, i have missed you" She says still holding very tight. It has been so long since she's seen Stormfly, just over seven years in fact. It was really hard getting over the fact Stormfly was no longer there every day, or at all really. The first time she woke up after all the dragons left was the hardest. She woke up and cried for a while. Hiccup came back a little while later and held her tightly as she cried into his shoulders for a long while longer. He tried his best to make her smile during it, saying how happy he is to be with her and how excited he was to rebuild Berk on this new island. And he also mentions how he was one day excited to be a father. That thought, of him being a father, to her future kids, made her finally crack a slight smile. But just getting to see Stormfly, even if only for an hour or so, means the absolute world to her right now.

"Hey Astrid?" Hiccup asks with a cocky smirk to him. "yes?" Astrid replies back$, turning to face Hiccup with a questioned look on her face. Hiccup grabs onto Jack and puts him on Toothless. Jack surprisingly doesn't fight against it. He's probably still in complete awestruck still.

"How about one more little race for old times sake?" Hiccup asks back. Astrid smirks right back at him and nods. She grabs Brenda who has that 'What in the blue hell do you think you're doing' type of facial expression on her as she does it. She still puts her on Stormfly despite the obvious pouting and weird look on her face. Astrid shakes her head. Brenda can be a real brat sometimes. Astrid hops onto Stormfly herself. Before she has time to even prepare, Stormfly takes off.

"AGHHGHHHHHH" Brenda screams as Astrid holds onto her. Brenda holds onto Astrid's arm almost tight enough to break it at this point. Brenda has her eyes clamped shut in fear that she's gonna fall back down if she opens them. Astrid kisses the top of her head as Stormfly continues upward. She thinks Hiccup is probably having trouble getting Jack to get in a position to start flying. Hell, he's probably gonna be even worse than Brenda is right now. Then she hears the Night Fury soar even higher, and all she hears is Jack laughing.

Jack has his hands in the air as Toothless darts even higher than Stormfly did. But Toothless slows down as he prepares to head back down. Hiccup actually lets go of Jack for a split second as they stop going upward and begin heading down, and catches him right as the descent. "Weeeee dad! This is amazing!" Jack says and Hiccup smiles. He's glad his kids can get a feel of what life used to be like. Those years where Berk and Dragons got along was probably the most amazing time in human history.

Toothless and Stormfly go side by side and Hiccup reaches for Brenda's hand. Astrid steals Jack from him and puts him in front of her. Hiccup does the same to Brenda. As they are all getting settled, Hiccup hears Astrid tell Stormfly to go, and they take off again with great speed. That Nadder is pretty fast.

"He won't catch up to us" Jack says playfully. Not that he knew anything about dragons, but he could barely see Hiccup in the distance, flying far behind them. Astrid chuckles, "We can only hope".

They start hearing a noise that sounds like a whistle. They both turn around and in the blink of an eye Hiccup and Toothless rush right past them.

Damn him.

Jack watches with a pouty look to him as his dad gets farther and farther ahead. "Mommy! We have to catch up!". Astrid squeezes him tightly from behind. "Toothless is the fastest dragon I have ever seen, very agile too" She says. Jack looks up at her with a confused look.

"Toothless? what kind of a name is that?" Jack asks laughing slightly about it. "He has retractable teeth, and from what Hiccup said, when he tried feeding him a fish for the first time he didn't see any teeth. Hence the name Toothless" She ends with a laugh. It is funny when she thinks about it. Toothless is kind of an odd name to give a dragon, and she never thought about it until Jack asked. Stormfly, Hookfang, Barf and Belch and even Meatlug all kind of made sense as dragon names. But Toothless? She's just glad she got to name the children.

Astrid eventually catches up to Hiccup as they all turn around and start to head back towards the boat. The flight was a very beautiful one. Something she thought she would have to die before she could do it again. She gives a stone cold glare to Hiccup.

"What?"

"You are a showoff, you know that?" She retorts. Jack sticks his tongue out at him.

"I'm gonna kick your butt later" Brenda says, pointing directly at Jack. He puts his tongue back in his mouth and looks straight again. Brenda was fearless just like Astrid, and punches everyone when she is annoyed just like her mother did. The only thing different about them at this point is the hair color. She even Snores like Astrid!

"There will be no butt kicking tonight!" Hiccup states, "By the time we get back to Berk it will be nightfall" He finishes.

After another short while they all land on the boat and hop off of the dragons. The Light fury and her kids are still sitting around the rock they were on earlier. Someones got to take control while Toothless is gone he assumes.

"Thank you bud, it was great seeing you again" Hiccup says and Toothless purrs at him again. Hiccup turns his head for a split second and Toothless once again pounces on him and licks his face a few times in excitement. "yeah bud.. i'm gonna miss you too". Toothless hops off of him and walks towards the younger ones.

"It was good seeing you! Sorry you have a funny name!" Jack says, and Astrid lightly flicks the back of his head. "Ow". "No being mean to Toothless" Astrid says back.

"You dragons are really cool!" Brenda says as she rubs Toothless's snout.

Astrid hugs Stormfly tightly, "I'm gonna miss you so much girl, take care of yourself". She hears a happy sqwauk coming from Stormfly as she takes a few steps back.

After a moment of staring at one another, Toothless and Stormfly each fly back to the Hidden world. "Are we going to see them anytime soon again? Jack asks and Hiccup shrugs. "I don't know.. maybe".

Hiccup lifts up the anchor and Astrid lowers the sail, and they start heading back to Berk.

The first hour of sailing was silent compared to how it was heading there. Astrid is sitting on the bench on the bow side, Jack fallen asleep on her as she runs her hands through his blond hair, starting to nod off herself. Hiccup is towards the rear on the boat steering it along the path he wrote down on his map while Brenda sits there and watches on.

"Dad?"

"Yes Brenda?"

"How did you meet Toothless?" She asks with a curious look in her eyes. Hiccup sits down next to her and looks up towards the sky. "Well, we all used to fight dragons, and I was never really good at that" he pauses, chuckling to himself. "Even when I was in the phase of wanting to fight, I kind of sucked at it. Anyway, I was always trying to take down a dragon and finally show everyone that I was not the worst viking to ever live. I also wanted to impress your mother over there" He says, pointing over at her, who has completely nodded off with her head tilted backwards.

"You were the worst viking ever?" She asks, in the tone that suggests she doesn't believe that. He laughs and nods, "I was not really good at much, except working the forge and accidentally making almost every situation worse."

"Still doesn't tell me how you met the dragon" Brenda says, flicking his arm while shooting him a glare. Yeah, she was definitely Astrids kid. "I was getting to that miss, I swear you and your mother just enjoy picking on me and Jack" He jokes, poking her nose. This earns him another glare from the little one.

"Alright alright", "I had this contraption that could net a dragon up through the air, and I can't count how many times I thought I shot a Night Fury and could never find any proof" Hiccup stretches his shoulders slightly while turning the boat towards the right. "Then one night, I actually shot one down, which of course nobody believed me. Snotlout made fun of me for it for a while"

"Uncle Snot always pokes fun at you!" She says, giggling.

"Yes, that he does" Hiccup replies. Snotlout always picked on him the most, even after the death of the Red Death dragon. While he didn't pick on him anymore, they just never had a sound friendship. But a few years ago they had actually started getting closer. Hiccup believes Snotlout actually wanted to talk, but Astrid keeps telling him it started out because he wanted to get close with Valka. Eventually though, they became something along the lines of friends, with Snotlout even deciding to risk his life to save Hiccup during a attack on Berk two years ago.

"Your mother didn't seem to believe me either. But I can't confirm that because we did not talk really, if at all" He says, shooting a light glare at her. "Hard to believe when all you guys do is talk and talk and talk and talk and.." Brenda says and Hiccup lightly pushes her and they both shoot a glare at each other before smiling.

"She was never mean to me really, but we never had a chance to get to know each other." Hiccup sighs. She was never rude or anything, but thinking about it now makes them both feel silly. Once they did get to know each other, they fell for one another.

"I went searching for the Night Fury in the woods that day, and after almost giving up I found him, and I thought 'Oh man! I might finally get a date'" He says, mocking himself and they both laugh. "But then, as I was standing there ready to kill him, I could see the fear in his eyes. I knew I couldn't do it".

"Were you scared too?"

Hiccup nods.

"Is that why you don't hit mommy when she punches your arm. Because you are scared?" She asks, and that earns her a glare of her own. "She does it out of love, very very tough love sometimes, or if she thinks i'm being an idiot" He states simply. Brenda then proceeds to lightly punch Hiccup in his arm, and he stares at her.

"Wanna guess if it's out of love or not?" She challenges, trying to hold her laugh in. "Ooooh that's it young lady" He says and grabs her, starting to tickle her at her sides. She starts laughing and trying her best to wiggle and kick her way free. She accidentally kicks Hiccup right in the kneecap and he lets go, holding it for a few seconds.

"Alright fine, we call it even?" Hiccup asks, holding his hand out and she grabs it, still giggling. "Even". He nods and she hops onto his lap.

"I let him free of the net, and he pinned me against to a rock. I thought I was going to be killed by the dragon I didn't" He says, and she says nothing.

"He instead roared at me and gave me the biggest scare of my life. But I found him days later in a cove, very hungry".

"Let me guess, you tried to feed the danger bird?" She asks, laughing. Danger Bird, that's a new one he thought. Brenda was very creative and very Astrid when it came to expressing herself. If he was being honest, the only thing she has of his is his hair color and his curiosity, if that's even something you can give to someone he thought.

"Yes, I tried to feed the danger bird. After that I started going back every day and started becoming friends"

"Why would he want to be friends if you shot him down?" She still has the same curious look on her from when she asked how they became friends. She asks way too many questions, all the time.

"I guess he was just as curious to me as I was to him" He says, and she yawns. He picks her up and takes her off his lap and onto the bench next to him. "You should get some sleep"

"No! I wanna hear the rest of the story!" Brenda says, standing up and puffing her chest out. He laughs and she deflates, flicking his elbow. "So aggressive, fine, sit back down" He says and she sits, smiling.

"After a while, I realized he couldn't fly on his own, so I built a tail for him that I could operate while I was on his back" He says as he yawns himself. She flicks him again. "Aye, what was that for?" He says, glaring at her playfully.

"No being a sleepyhead just yet" Brenda says. Hiccup sighs and rubs his eyes. "You know, sleep really helps after a nice long flight". She pouts and he sighs again.

"Eventually he was found and my dad was furious. He found out about the dragon nest, and went to destroy it, having Toothless guide him there". "They were not prepared for a huge dragon like that. So I got there, and me and Toothless took it down together. I fell and he.. he saved my life" He says smiling once again. Brenda looks down at his prosthetic leg.

"yes I know , not all of me" She laughs hearing that. "After that, we started flying all around the world" he says. "The world isn't round" Brenda retaliates.

"Fair point. Since then we were always by each others side" He says, a small tear forming in his eye. Brenda looks at him while the tear falls, and rubs it off his cheek. "Then what daddy?" She asks, very intrigued by this story.

"We both had to be leaders for our own people. They weren't safe here, so they went to the Hidden World" He says. "I miss all of them. Hopefully one day they can return and we can all live in peace" He finishes, sniffling. She pats his shoulder and smiles at him. "One day" Brenda says, rubbing her eyes and yawning, before deciding it is best to nap, despite fighting it the whole time. Hiccup steers the ship towards the right more before steadying it and going back to looking up at the skies. He wishes peace were possible. He would love nothing more than to see dragons fly through the air. A sight everyone dearly misses.

He would spend nights trying to discuss how to have everyone understand that dragons are nothing to have a war about. But just as often as he would bring it up, she would always say how as amazing as it would be to make that happen, they can't change everyone just like that. It would have to take time. These talks happened very often while Astrid was pregnant with Brenda, always dreaming about teaching his kids how to fly.

After a few hours Berk comes within eyesight. The night sky lightened up by a full moon. Brenda and Jack are both sleeping. Hiccup fell asleep sometime during the journey home.

Hiccup wakes up panicking, upset he fell asleep steering the boat. But he sees Astrid sitting next to the handle, smiling at him.

"I swear I wonder how anyone stays asleep near you when you snow like a sleeping Thunderdrum" Astrid says giggling. He sits up fully and sees Berk coming closer. Hiccup was never a fan of long boat rides like this, but this one was well worth it.

"How did you sleep?" She asks and he shrugs, "About as well as you possibly can when you have a little girl sleeping next to you that just loves to kick in her sleep sometimes" He jokes and they both laugh lightly. She gets up and sits on his lap, resting her head on his shoulders, and he wraps his arms around her.

"Thank you for helping me plan this, this was amazing" He says and she kisses his cheek. "I've been dreaming of doing this ever since the day you fought Grimmel, and to see the faces of Brenda and Jack while they flew? Sooooo worth it" Astrid finishes and nods. She gets up and nudges Brenda awake, who shoots up and stretches. Hiccup tosses a balled up rag at Jack, who very slowly stretches and sits up.

"Are we home?" Jack asks, slowly walking towards Hiccup. "Pretty much, once we get there make sure you grab you and your sisters bag" He says and Jack nods.

"Why does he have to get my bag?" Brenda asks and Astrid stares at her, "Why do you ask so many questions?" She says, and Brenda glares at her while Astrid smiles.

"Because you have to help your father carry some other stuff" She adds and Brenda perks up. She does love being trusted with things to do. Or if you ask her to keep a secret, she likes that too.

After docking and unloading everything, they all head home and start to unwind. Hiccup takes off his Fur coat and Leather suit. He opens his closet and sees his old Dragon Scale suit. It still barely fits him, as he hasn't grown too much. Just a little more muscle to him then there used to be. He remembers having to wear it during the last raid that happened two years ago. Some vikings tried raiding Berk for supplies. Hiccup wore that suit since it was fireproof and it was pretty much arrow proof as well. He sets his leather suit in his closet and closes it, Now only wearing a green tunic and his pants. Astrid comes in the room and lays down on the bed.

"Just tucked them both in" She says and he nods. It's impressive how fast she gets them both tucked in. Usually Brenda gives Hiccup a hard time about going to bed, believing sleep is for the weak and she is not weak, therefore she does not need sleep.

"Hey Astrid?"

"Yes?" She sits up and pats her hand on the empty half of the bed. He sits down and she wraps her arms around his neck. "I love you" He says, smiling from ear to ear. No matter how many times he has said that to her, it still makes her cheeks pink. If you would have asked her 11 years ago if she would be happily married, have two kids and not having to worry about being scooped up by a dragon she would have probably called you crazy and wrong. But oh how she loved how its turned out since.

"I love you too" She returns, kissing him softly. "But we should get to bed" She adds and he nods in agreement. They both lie down as he wraps his arms around her waist and closing his eyes. He just can't help but smile and think,

What a beautiful and amazing day today was.
