Toothless' Destiny

Chapter 1: New Life

INFO: Ruffnut is the girl, and Tuffnut is the boy. Don't believe me? Type their names in on Google images. . .

It was a beautiful morning a month or so after Hiccup and Toothless defeated the Red Death. The birds sung their harmonious song that echoed throughout Berk while flying around, fearless and free. Hiccup woke up with the sunlight hitting him square in the eyes from his open window. He got up and stretched, while letting a yawn escape his mouth.

He looked to the right of his bed, expecting Toothless to be there, but he wasn't.

"Huh. . .Where did he go?" Hiccup thought, before shrugging it off.

He walked over to his dresser (or whatever they called it) and pulled out his light green shirt, and brown-ish pants. With clothes in hand, he walked over to his bed, and began to get dressed. He put his shirt on. then his pants, then his wool boots.

Hiccup was happy about today. Today would begin a new life for him and Toothless, and he knew it just as much as Toothless did. They got their limbs back, Hiccup got his left leg, while Toothless got his left tail-fin. (I will explain in a moment.) Hiccup walked over to his door, almost tripping on his now good left leg, since he wasn't used to it.

"I swear, if Toothless is on the other side of this door, then albeit i'll. . . . .ahh, i got nothing."

Hiccup put his ear up to the door to hear for Toothless, and sure enough, he heard Toothless on the other side, ready to give him his 'Wake Up Call'.

(Explanation Time!) ~ Okay, the day before the beginning of the story was when a healer (one who has heavenly powers to bring people back from the dead [had to be dead less than 2 days], heal diseases, and in rare cases - restore lost body parts.) happened to drift up to Berk. Her name was Jade, and she had been lost at sea for three weeks. She had a regular sail-boat, but she was caught in a terrible hurricane, and has been drifting the seas, looking for any form of land. When she landed on Berk, Stoick, and everyone else just so happened to be right where she landed.

Stoick asked her what she was doing here, and if she needed any help. She explained her story to everyone, and then asked Stoick, "I thought vikings were supposed to hunt and kill dragons. . .So, why are you befriending them." Stoick wasn't expecting this question, so he carresed his beard trying to figure out an appropriate response. That's where Hiccup stepped in. He took over and explained to Jade everything. I mean everything. From the time him and Toothless were friends, to where they defeated the Red Death, who was forcing all the dragons to attack Berk to bring food to it. Jade wasn't expecting this.

She was amazed by Hiccup and Toothless' bravery, courageous, and noble act of defeating the Red Death that had caused a war that was never meant to be, and that has caused so much turmoil and destruction. Because of their awesome act of help and many other things to everyone, she restored their limbs, as if awarding them the 'Medal of Honor'. After this, she moved into a small-sized home that Stoick, Gobber, and other Viking men built for her. Now that she was a neighbor in Berk, she was Berk's healer, or medic. (End of Explanation!)

(Back to the story). . . . . Hiccup put his ear up to the door to hear for Toothless, and sure enough, he heard Toothless on the other side, ready to give him his 'Wake Up Call'.

"Not This Time Bud." Hiccup said softly, smirking to himself.

He saw the window and hatched an idea. He was about a story or so up, so he thought, "Eh. It's not too high." and motioned for the window. He looked out of it down towards sold ground about 30 or so feet below him. He hopped on the outside of the window (while still hanging on to the window) and dropped to the ground with a thud.

He felt pain in his left leg, and said sarcastically,

"Oh great! Now it's broken! Great! Now i'll die and everything will be terrible!"

But he got over the pain. It wasn't bad because the soft earth absorbed most of the impact. He got up and noticed Astrid walking around the village square, obviously looking for something. Hiccup decided to go talk to her, and while doing this, Hiccup thought about what to do that day.

"Okay, . ..1. . .Avoid Toothless' tongue. . .2. . .Talk to Astrid and hang out with the guys today. . .3. . .avoid Toothless yet again. I want at least one day wherei'm not dripping with spit."

Astrid heard Hiccup talking to himself, and turned to see him still making his way down the stone steps towards her.

"HICCUP!" Astrid yelled.

Hiccup jumped and almost fell over from Astrid yelling at him. She walked over and picked him up by the collar.

"Okay mister, WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA?"

"Uhhh, Astrid. What are you talking about?"

"Oh, don't play dumb with me! I know how you like to play jokes, so spill it, WHERE'S IVORY?" (Ivory was Astrid's Nadder)

"Umm, i don't know Astrid, i really don't know."

"Alright, fine. But if find out that you had something to do with this, I WILL PUNCH YOU SO HARD, BLOOD WILL COME OUT OF YOUR EARS!"

Astrid stormed off while calling for her Nadder. Hiccup sighed, and looked at Astrid once more before leaving to go to the Ring.

On his way to the Ring, Hiccup heard Astrid yell something, and turned around to see Astrid chasing Ivory around.

"GET BACK HERE YOU STUPID LAZY DRAGON!"

Hiccup couldn't help but smirk at Astrid's temper. He shook his head while chuckling, and continued to walk towards the Ring. (The Ring was the Viking boy's 'Safe Haven' from girls, and troubles in life.) Hiccup walked in and headed for the stone table where Snotlout, Fishlegs, and Tuffnut were with their dragons wrestling each other behind them. Snotlout saw Hiccup coming, and thought he would say something funny.

"The Prodigal Son returns."

Hiccup sat down on one of the stone seats, and looked at Snotlout before jokingly saying, "Shut up". Snotlout looked at Hiccup for a second, and then filled him in on what he missed.

"Alright Hic, listen up. I don't like to repeat myself. We're talking about how Ruffnut has googly eyes for Hiker, and other. . . things."

Hiccup nodded like he understood, and joined in on the conversation.

Snotlout: "Hey, Tuffnut, your sister was totally looking at Hiker's butt yesterday."

Tuffnut: "I know right? That dragon-butt (the twins love to call each other names) doesn't even have any charm, just annoyance."

Snotlout: "And what's so special about Hiker, i mean, what did he do? Is not like he saved us all from that Death dragon or whatever, like Hiccup did."

Hiccup: "Well, he didn't do what me and Toothless did, but he did help build that house for Jade, and he helps her around. I think he's her apprentice."

Fishlegs: "Well, yeah. .umm. . .i'm with Hiccup on that one."

Tuffnut & Snotlout: ". . . . . . . ."

Tuffnut: "Oh, that reminds me. Where is Hiker today? You know, just out of curiosity."

Snotlout: "Who cares? He's probably slacking off or whatever."

Hiccup: "Actually, i haven't seen him for three days. Snotlout, did your Nightmare eat him?"

There was a burst of laughter from everyone except Snotlout.

Snotlout: "No! Why would you even consider that? That's NOT funny!"

Hiccup: "Okay, Snotlout, Okay, jeez. Calm down, it's just a joke."

Snotlout: "Oh. . ."

There was silence between all of them. Until. . .

Hiccup: "I saw Astrid chasing her Nadder today right before I came over here, did you do something Snotlout?"

Snotlout: "No! It wasn't my idea, it was Tuff's."

Tuffnut: "What! I only carried out the plan, he made it."

Snotlout: "No i didn't you liar!"

Hiccup: "Ay! SHUT UP! It doesn't matter! I don't care, i just thought it was funny. Just make sure that Astrid doesn't find out. She told me if I did it, she would punch me so hard, that blood would fly out of my ears."

Everyone: "Wow."

Snotlout: "Well that's you, this is me."

Tuffnut: "It's me too."

Fishlegs: "And me. . .i guess."

Snotlout: "NO! I was first, ya'll choose something else."

Tuffnut: "WHAT? Over my dead body!"

Snotlout: "That's the point!"

Tuffnut: "Take this!"

Tuffnut and Snotlout fought about who would not be punched by Astrid and who would. Stupid thing to fight over, although Astrid does punch pretty hard. Hiccup rolled his eyes and walked out of the Ring, leaving Fishlegs to move his seat, and pull out the dragon manual to read it. . . .again.

It has been four hours since Hiccup had last seen Toothless, and he was actually starting to worry a little. He was walking through the village when he saw Stoick talking with Gobber. Hiccup didn't want to ask Stoick if he'd seen Toothless, because he thought that Stoick wouldn't know, but he asked anyway.

"Umm, Dad?"

Stoick turned and saw his son standing there. "What is it son?"

"Have you, . . .um. . .seen Toothless today?"

Stoick then started to comb his beard, meaning he was deep in thought. "Toothless, Toothless. . .Ah yes! I saw him earlier this morning. He looks pretty angry about something. Did you do something Hiccup?"

"No, dad. Why would you even consider that?"

"Ohh, i don't know. Just a consideration."

"Well, okay. Later dad."

Hiccup waved to his father as he ran towards the village square, receiving a wave from Stoick before he talked with Gobber again.

"Huh. Usually Toothless would be around. . .here. Aw crap! I forgot he could fly by himself again. He could be anywhere!"

Hiccup thought that Toothless was at his house, so he started to walk towards his house. About halfway there, there was an urge in Hiccup for him to turn towards his left. He couldn't fight the urge anymore, and he turned to his left to see what it was.

He saw Toothless there, lying in the dark, thick grass next to a house. . . .and he looked mighty ticked.

Hiccup then thought about what Stoick said, ". . .He looks pretty angry about something. Did you do something?. . ." Hiccup shook that thought off of him, knowing that Toothless wouldn't be mad at him for nothing.

He walked over to Toothless, and when he was closer to him, Toothless growled warningly. Hiccup stopped walking towards him, and looked worried about him.

"Toothless? What's wrong?" asked Hiccup, with concern in his voice.

Toothless eyed Hiccup for a few moments before lying his head back on the grass, trying to ignore him. But Hiccup was only more worried about his friend, and walked over to him. He sat down next to him, and scratched his left wing tip.

"Toothless, bud. What's wrong? Are you feeling okay?"

Toothless just continued to try to ignore Hiccup, but he felt Hiccup hug his neck as if trying to soothe him. Toothless let go of all his negative feelings towards Hiccup, and purred.

"Thank you, Hiccup. I needed that."

" In the next chapter, you'll find out what caused Toothless to be mad. And what's in store for him. . ."
