Ch. 6- Flying and... Dad's back!

************************

Third Person POV

****************

Ships came closer and closer to the village of Berk. Finally, they pulled into the port.

The Vikings who went to find the Dragon nest come off the almost completely destroyed ships.

"I trust you found the nest as least," Gobber said.

"Not even close. Did you have more success than I did?" Stoick asked.

"Well if by success you mean that your parenting troubles are over. Well then, yes."

Stoick got compliments from those who stayed.

Stoick turns, shocked, to Gobber, "Their gone?"

Gobber walks closer to the village as Stoick follows him. "Yeah, most afternoons. But who can blame them. The life of a celebrity is very ruff. They can barely walk through the village without being swarmed by their new fans."

"Hiccup and Halla?" Stoick asks, stopping Gobber.

"Yeah, who would've thought of it? They have this way with the beast."

Halla's POV

***************

"Okay there, bud," Hiccup said. "We're going to take this nice and slow," he said, patting Toothless

They went flying. Me and Violet followed them.

They ran into a few rocks. Toothless hit Hiccup with his ear before Hiccup made them go up to the clouds. I laughed when Toothless hit Hiccup.

"Yeah, go baby! Yeah! Aw this is amazing. The wind in my- CHEAT SHEET!" Hiccup reached out to grab the small sheet of paper. The rope that kept him on Toothless came off and Hiccup flew off; Toothless saw Hiccup in the air and started to freak out. Both of them became free falling a few hundred feet above the ground.

"Hiccup! Toothless!" I yelled. Violet called out to the two falling figures.

They fell and Hiccup tried to get Toothless to stop panicking and work with him. Hiccup got smacked- which now that I look back its kinda funny- before getting back on Toothless and stopped them from hitting the ground hard.

A labyrinth of giant rocks sticking out of the ocean came up and Hiccup looked at his Cheat sheet for a second before tossing it and flew through on instinct. Me and Violet followed them.

When we all made it to the other side without hitting anything Hiccup threw his arms into the air with a, "Yeah!" Toothless was so excited he threw a plasma blast in front of them. Hiccup's arms went back to his sides as he noticed. "Oh, come on," he managed to say before they flew through the fire.

"Violet, up. Up, Violet. Hurry." I tried to get her to move but we went through the same path they did.

**************

Hiccup leaned against Toothless and I leaned against Violet as we ate. The dragons ate raw fish and we ate cooked fish.

Mine and Hiccup's hair was burnt a little in the front. His hair was stuck like it was when he was flying, blown backwards. It was hilarious.

Toothless threw up half a fish and offered it to Hiccup, who said, "Um... no thanks. I'm good," he gestured to his cooked fish on a stick.

Terrible terrors landed on the ground near us, Hiccup started to stand up but stopped almost halfway and we watched them try to get fish from our dragons.

They tried to just walk up and take it but our dragons growled at them; a smart one took the half one Toothless threw up. All of a sudden, we saw a fish stick almost straight up in Toothless's pile and move through it. Toothless stayed at it with wide eyes until a terrible terror exposed itself by leaving the pile.

Toothless growled and grabbed the fish with his teeth and ate it. The small terrible terror growled, so did Toothless. The terrible terror got ready to blow fire at Toothless, when the small dragon was about to fire, Toothless blew fire into its mouth, making it blow up inside the poor little dragon.

The dragon clumsily made its way passed Toothless. "Aw, not so fire proof on the inside. Here you go," Hiccup gave that terror a fish while I gave another one a fish. They ate it happily and Hiccup sat down again. Gratefully, the terrors cautiously came closer to us and snuggled up next to us after pushing our hands over its head.

"Everything we know about you guys- is wrong," I said as I pet him.

"You're right, Halla."

"Hiccup?"

"Yes, Halla?"

"Can I keep it for a pet?" I asked, picking the little dragon up.

"What about Violet?"

"Violet is my friend, but I guess she's also a pet. Kinda. But can't I have two, please?"

He chuckled and shook his head, "Fine, but that means your gonna have to catch more fish everyday for him."

"Yay!" The terrible terrors flew off. The one in my arms licked my cheek before flying off. "Oh, I guess it wants to be free then. Bye bye!" I called after the fading dragons. "Hiccup, can I ride on Toothless?"

His head popped up. Same with Toothless and Violet's. "Um... sure. Come on, I'll help you." We got on Toothless- me in front, him in the back. I slipped my foot in the foothold that controls the tail. "Ready?"

"Ready." We flew till the sky started turning different colors before heading back to the cove. "Wanna race?"

Hiccup chuckled and noticed it was getting dark. "We need to get back."

"Yeah. After a quick race." I agreed, hopping on Violet and racing Hiccup and Toothless had a quick race to the mountains and back.

"Ha ha, we win," Hiccup laughed as they beat us by like, half a second. "Bye, Toothless. Come on, Halla."

"Bye, Violet," I said before taking off after Hiccup.

****************

Hiccup sat bored in his chair, head down on the desk, rolling his pencil across the desk. Since his desk wasn't level his pencil came rolling back.

I sat, my eyes closed, listening to the rhythm he was making and imagining flying on Violet.

I heard someone have trouble entering and "Dad?" came out of Hiccup's mouth.

My eyes flew open- dad? Here? He never comes here. I couldn't believe my eyes. Dad was here. Our Night Fury notes are scattered on the desk! Hiccup was trying to hide them, sliding them on top of each other.

"Uh.. dad, your back." Hiccup said, failing horribly at acting like nothing's wrong. "Gobber's not here. So..."

"I know. I came looking for you."

"You've been keeping secrets," he accused. How could he know? I screamed in my head. I'm sure Hiccup was thinking the same thing.

"Wh- What?" he asked, closing his journal, staring at the desk.

"Now, let's talk about that Dragon." No!!!! Violet! Toothless! No!

"I don't know what your talking about," Hiccup tries.

"Nothing on this island happens without me knowing about it."

"Oh," Hiccup looks at me through the corner of his eyes for a split second. He continues to hide the papers better and his journal falls to the floor. His hand left goes to his hair, "Oh, dad. We're so sorry. We didn't want you to find out like this and we we're going to tell you..." Hiccup trailed off as dad started laughing. "What?"

"Sorry? I was hoping for this!" dad yelled. Hoping for Violet and Toothless? No. That's impossible. They're dragons- Dragons! Dragon training! Hiccup is doing well in that. Even I have won a few lessons. That's must be it. Dad doesn't know about Toothless and Violet! Yes!

"What?" Hiccup looks at me like he's insane and I nod with a small smile and motion him to go on. "You were?"

Dad stopped laughing," Yes. And it only gets better. Just wait till you spill a Nader guts for the first time! Or mount your first Gronkle head on a spear," he sighed. Realization comes across Hiccup's face." All those years of the worst Vikings Berk as ever seen. Odin, it was ruff. But all the while you were holding back? Oh Thor oh mighty! With y'all doing so well in the ring," he sat down, "we finally have something to talk about."

Dad looks eager to talk as we wait in silence. He.scooted his chair forward, excitement shines brightly. After a minute of silence his face falls slightly and he reaches for something behind him.

"Here," he pulls out two helmets. "To keep you safe in the ring."

"Thanks," Hiccup said, slightly happy. Our fingers ride across the helmets excitedly.

"Oh your mother would've wanted you to have it. It's half of her breast plate. Hiccup's is anyway." Hiccup quickly removes his hand. "Matching set," dad said, taping his helmet. "Keeps her close. Wear it proudly."

Hiccup set down his helmet and fakes a big yawn, stretching his arms. "It's getting late."

"Yes," dad jumped out of his chair. "You two need your rest."

"See you at the house and thanks for the... breast hat."

"Yes. Good talk. Uh... See you at the house," he has difficulty exiting because he's so large but he manages. Then we hear him knock stuff over.

"That was close," I said, putting a hand on my forehead.

"He's back. We're going to have to be careful. We won't have much freedom anymore. We no longer have the house to ourselves and for. the sounds of it, he will want to know how we are doing so well. We might have to tell him the truth."

"What? No! He'll kill them! He can't find out!"

"We will have to see. Come on, we need our sleep." We raced to the house before rushing upstairs to our room. Luckily, dad either doesn't notice or doesn't bother to see or talk to us.
