It was a typical morning on the island of Berk, for one dad was ranting on about "meeting a lady" and "you're gonna be chef soon." The usual stuff he would shout about. I did have a small crush on Astrid, but realisation hit me like one of her punches when she started going on and on about some new Viking that had come in from England. I had now zoned out from dad's shouts and was thinking about Toothless, how lonely he must be being the only night fury on Berk. I sighed. The door burst open and one of dad's helpers came in.

"Chef, another ship is coming in!" he exclaimed. Dad let out an angry huff and rolled his eyes. Thank Odin dad was now leaving. He turned to me before leaving:

"Stay there, I would like to finish our conversation when I come back!" he spoke, his voice gruff. He left the hut and walked down to the coast. I growled. Moving towards the door, I shrugged; if I was to be chef soon, it would be a good lesson to see what dad did. With a chuckle, I opened the door and followed him down to the docks.

I looked around to see Vikings moving around carrying fishing and other items. A new ship loomed into my view and I noticed that on-board were a load of people I hadn't seen before. They began to get off the boat as I moved closer. My father's voice boomed greetings to the new comers as the moved of the boat towards the village. My eyes landed on a fair girl; her hair deep auburn and her eyes chocolate brown. She was carrying something under a blanket and I was about to follow to find out what it was when a strong hand pulled me back.

"Hiccup? What in Thor's name are you doin here, I told you to stay at the house!" my dad's voice came. What a surprise. He turned me and put me on my feet, well foot. I looked up at him.

"Yes dad, you told me but I sorta wanted to see what was down here…" I trailed off when dad gave me his disappointed groan. He shook his head and lowered himself so he was eye-level with me. He pointed his large finger at me and began to speak.

"Hiccup, you know today is one of our father-to-son talks were I tell you about growing up and becoming a man, I told you to stay home so he could finish that…tomorrow you can go riding your dragon or making some little…thing for your dragon" he patted my head roughly and stood.

"Yeah but-" he was gone. I growled and walked back to my hut, kicking pebbles and whatnot as I did. Looking up, I saw the blacksmith's. Shrugging, I walked to it and entered. Gobber was already in there, humming to himself loudly. He saw me come and smiled.

"'Ello there Hiccup, why so sad eh?" he smiled at me, that weird toothy grin where his teeth stick up over his lip. I gave him a weak smile back before going to my desk and designing some new kind of way to make me and Toothless go faster in the air.

"It's dad, you know…" I knew Gobber knew what I meant, he's the closest friend to my dad there is.

"Oh right, so it's not a girl then" he smirked. I cringed at his answer and my face began to heat up. I looked at him, trying not to look embarrassed or in anyway nervous.

"W- why would I b- be like th- that?" I did my best. Gobber gave me a knowing look that made me gulp, why did he seem to know…everything. He moved away from the sword he was working on and towards me. Resting a hand (his only hand) on my shoulder, he looked me in the eye with a smile.

"I saw you on the docks, the new girl…" he didn't have to say anymore. He thought I had another crush? Oh Odin! I shook my head and pushed his hand away, walking towards the window.

"I don't have a crush okay…I don't think she'd like me anyway!" I exclaimed. Gobber shrugged at me before returning to his work. I looked out the window to see that same girl again, still holding whatever it is. I looked back at Gobber, who was busy. I looked back at the girl to see she was walking towards the wood. I said good bye to him before running into the forest after her.
