==Hiccup finds Toothless/Father-Son Conversation/First Day of Dragon Training/Hiccup shows his friends Toothless==
''[The scene cuts to the Meade hall, where everyone is gathered]''

'''Stoick: '''Either we finish them, or they'll finish us! It's the only way we'll be rid of them! If we find the nest and destroy it, the dragons will leave. They'll find another home! One more search. Before the ice sets in.

'''Viking: '''Those ships never come back.

'''Stoick: '''We're Vikings! It's an occupational hazard! Now who's with me?

'''Viking: '''Today's not good for me. I've gotta do my axe returns.

'''Stoick: '''Alright. Those who stay will look after Hiccup.

'''Phlegma: '''To the ships!

'''Spitelout: '''I'm with you, Stoick!

'''Stoick: '''That's more like it.

'''Gobber: '''Right, I'll pack my undies.

'''Stoick: '''No, I need you to stay and train some new recruits.

'''Gobber: '''''[Sarcastically]'' Oh, perfect. And while I'm busy, Hiccup can cover the stall. Molten steel, razor sharp blades, lots of time to himself... what could possibly go wrong?

'''Stoick: '''What am I going to do with him, Gobber?

'''Gobber: '''Put him in training with the others.

'''Stoick: '''No, I'm serious.

'''Gobber: '''So am I.

'''Stoic: '''He'd be killed before you let the first dragon out of its cage.

'''Gobber: '''Oh, you don't know that.

'''Stoick: '''I do know that, actually.

'''Gobber: '''No, you don't.

'''Stoick: '''No, actually, I do.

'''Gobber: '''No, you don't!

'''Stoick: '''Listen, you know what he's like. From the time he could crawl he's been... different. He doesn't listen, he has the attention span of a sparrow... I take him fishing and he goes hunting for... for trolls!

'''Gobber: '''Trolls exist! They steal your socks. But only the left ones. What's with that?

'''Stoick: '''When I was a boy...

'''Gobber: '''Oh, here we go.

'''Stoick: '''My father told me to bang my head against a rock, and I did it. I thought it was crazy, but I didn't question him. And you know what happened?

'''Gobber: '''You got a headache.

'''Stoick: '''That rock split in two. It taught me what a Viking could do, Gobber. He could-- He could crush mountains, level forests, tame seas! Even as a boy, I knew what I was, what I had to become. Hiccup is not that boy.

'''Gobber: '''You can't stop him, Stoick. You can only prepare him. Look, I know it seems hopeless. But the truth is you won't always be around to protect him. He's going to get out there again. He's probably out there now.

''[Scene cuts to Hiccup trekking through the forest]''

'''Hiccup: '''Oh, the gods hate me. Some people lose their knife or their mug. No, not me. I manage to lose an ''ENTIRE DRAGON?!''

''[Hiccup encounters the Night Fury, bounded by his bola. He is frightened and hides behind a rock, slowly approaching the fallen dragon.]''

'''Hiccup (cont.): '''Oh, wow. I did it. Oh, I did it! This fixes everything! Yes! I have brought down this mighty beast!

''[Hiccup steps on the seemingly dead dragon's face but it is still alive and shoves him away]''

'''Hiccup (cont.): '''Whoa!

''[He takes out his knife]''

'''Hiccup (cont.): '''I'm going to kill you, dragon. I'm gonna cut out your heart and take it to my father. I'm a Viking. I am a VIKING!

''[He hesitates, looking at the dragon's frightened eyes. The Night Fury, while visibly scared, makes no sound and lays still. Hiccup, unable to kill the defenseless creature, finally gives in and drops his knife.]''

'''Hiccup (cont.): '''I did this.

''[Hiccup begins cutting the ropes that bind the Night Fury.]''

''[The dragon stirs, opening its eyes. It rolls Hiccup over, roars in Hiccup's face, and lopsidedly flies away, leaving him unharmed]''

''[Hiccup whimpers and faints.]''

''[Scene cuts to the Haddock household. Hiccup runs past Stoick and quickly and quietly crawls up the stairs, but Stoick notices him ]''

'''Stoick: '''Hiccup.

'''Hiccup: '''''(stops halfway up the stairs)'' Dad! Uh... I have to talk to you, Dad.

'''Stoick: '''I need to speak with you too, son.

'''Hiccup and Stoick: '''''(simultaneously)'' I've decided I don't want / I think it's time you learn / to fight dragons. What?

'''Stoick: '''You go first.

'''Hiccup: '''No, no, ''you'' go first.

'''Stoick: '''Alright. You get your wish. Dragon Training. You start in the morning.

'''Hiccup: '''''[Panicking]'' Oh, man, I should've gone first! Uh, 'cause I was thinking, you know, we have a surplus of dragon-fighting Vikings, but do we have enough... bread-making Vikings, or small home repair Vikings--?

'''Stoick: '''You'll need this. ''[passes Hiccup an axe]''

'''Hiccup: '''I don't want to fight dragons.

'''Stoick: '''Come on. Yes, you do.

'''Hiccup: '''Rephrase: Dad, I ''can't'' kill dragons.

'''Stoick: '''But you ''will'' kill dragons.

'''Hiccup: '''No, I'm really very extra sure that I won't.

'''Stoick: '''It's time, Hiccup.

'''Hiccup: '''Can you not hear me?!

'''Stoick: '''This is serious, son! When you carry this axe, you carry all of us with you. Which means you walk like us. You talk like us. You think like us. No more of... this.

'''Hiccup: '''You just gestured to all of me.

'''Stoick: '''Deal?

'''Hiccup: '''This conversation is feeling very one-sided.

'''Stoick: '''DEAL?!

'''Hiccup: '''Deal.

'''Stoick: '''Good. Train hard. I'll be back. Probably.

'''Hiccup: '''And I'll be here. Maybe.

''[Scene cuts to a pan around the Dragon Training Arena]''

'''Gobber: '''Welcome to Dragon Training!

'''Astrid: '''No turning back.

'''Tuffnut: '''I hope I get some serious burns!

'''Ruffnut: '''I'm hoping for some mauling, like on my shoulder or lower back.

'''Astrid: '''Yeah, it's only fun if you get a scar out of it.

'''Hiccup: '''''[Sarcastically]'' Yeah, no kidding, right? Pain. Love it.

'''Tuffnut: '''Oh, great. Who let ''him'' in?

'''Gobber: '''Let's get started! The recruit who does best will win the honor of killing his first dragon in front of the entire village.

'''Snotlout: '''Hiccup already killed a Night Fury, so, does that disqualify him or...?

'''Tuffnut: '''Can I transfer to the class with the ''cool'' Vikings?

'''Gobber: '''''[to Hiccup] ''Don't worry. You're small and you're weak. That'll make you less of a target! They'll see you as sick or insane and go after the more Viking-like teens instead.

'''Gobber (cont.): '''Behind these doors are just a few of the many species you will learn to fight! The Deadly Nadder!

'''Fishlegs: '''Speed: eight; Armor: sixteen.

'''Gobber: '''The Hideous Zippleback!

'''Fishlegs: '''Plus eleven stealth times two.

'''Gobber: '''The Monstrous Nightmare!

'''Fishlegs: '''Firepower: fifteen.

'''Gobber: '''The Terrible Terror!

'''Fishlegs: '''Attack: eight; Venom: twelve!

'''Gobber: '''CAN YOU STOP THAT?! And... the Gronckle!

'''Fishlegs: '''''[whispering] ''Jaw strength: eight.

'''Snotlout: '''Whoa, whoa, wait! Aren't you gonna teach us first?!

'''Gobber: '''I believe in learning on the job.''[releases Gronckle, which promptly swallows rocks and starts blasting the teens]''

'''Gobber (cont.): '''Today is about survival. If you get blasted... ''you're dead!'' Quick! What's the first thing you're going to need?

'''Hiccup: '''A doctor?!

'''Fishlegs: '''Plus five speed?!

'''Astrid: '''A shield!

'''Gobber: '''Shields! Go! Your most important piece of equipment is your shield! If you must make a choice between a sword or a shield, take the shield!

''[All the recruits head for the shields]''

'''Tuffnut: '''Get your hands off my shield!

'''Ruffnut: '''There's like a million shields!

'''Tuffnut: '''Take that one, it has a flower on it. Girls like flowers.

''[Ruffnut takes the shield and slams it onto Tuffnut's head.]''

'''Ruffnut: '''Oops, now this one has blood on it.

''[The Gronckle flies towards the Twins and blasts their shield with a fireball, leaving them dazed on the ground.]''

'''Gobber: '''Tuffnut, Ruffnut, you're out!

'''Ruffnut and Tuffnut: '''''[Dazed]'' What?

'''Gobber: '''Those shields are good for another thing: noise! Make lots of it to throw off a dragon's aim!

''[The remaining teens begin hitting their weapons against their shields, making the Gronckle shake its head, confused.]''

'''Gobber (cont.): '''All dragons have a limited number of shots. How many does a Gronckle have?

'''Snotlout: '''Five?

'''Fishlegs: '''No, six!

'''Gobber: '''Correct, six! That's one for each of you!

''[Fishlegs' shield gets blasted out of his hand. He runs away screaming.]''

'''Gobber (cont.): '''Fishlegs, out. ''[to Hiccup hiding behind a plank] ''Hiccup, get in there!

'''Snotlout: '''''[to Astrid] ''So, anyway I'm moving into my parents' basement. You should come by sometime to work out. You look like you work out!

''[The Gronckle fires at Snotlout]''

'''Gobber: '''Snotlout! You're done!

'''Hiccup: '''So, I guess it's just you and me, huh?

'''Astrid: '''Nope, just you. ''(runs away, leaving Hiccup)''

''[The Gronckle fires at them, but misses. Hiccup loses his shield and runs after it, the dragon hot on his heels]'''

'''Gobber: '''One shot left! Hiccup!

''[The Gronckle corners Hiccup, taking its aim. Gobber quickly tugs it away, causing it to misfire its last shot, and locks it up back in its cage]''

'''Gobber (cont.): '''And that's six! Go back to bed, ya overgrown sausage! You'll get another chance, don't you worry. ''[to Hiccup]'' Remember: a dragon will always -- ''always'' -- go for the kill.

''[Scene cuts to Hiccup trekking through the forest again]''

'''Hiccup: '''''[weighing the bola with his hands] ''So, why didn't ''you''?

''[Hiccup enters a cove, surveying its emptiness]''

'''Hiccup (cont.): '''Well, this was stupid. ''(He finds some shiny black dragon scales on the floor. He picks one up.)''

''[The Night Fury swoops past him, but falls back onto the ground, trying to settle down on the cove. Hiccup hides at the entrance and tries to make a sketch of it]''

'''Hiccup (cont.)'''Why don't you just... fly away?

''[As he makes a sketch, he notices the Night Fury is missing one of its tail fins. He erases the fin on his drawing but he slips and drops his pencil, drawing the Night Fury's attention. It stares up at him in recognition.]''

''[Scene cuts to the Meade Hall]''

'''Gobber (o.s.): '''Alright. Where did Astrid go wrong in the ring today?

'''Astrid: '''I mistimed my somersault dive. It was sloppy. It threw off my reverse tumble.

'''Ruffnut: '''''[Sarcastically]'' Yeah, we noticed.

'''Snotlout: '''No, no, you were great. That was so "Astrid".

'''Gobber: '''She's right, you ''have'' to be tough on yourselves. Where did Hiccup go wrong?

'''Ruffnut: '''Uh, he showed up?

'''Tuffnut: '''He didn't get eaten.

'''Astrid: '''He's never where he should be.

'''Gobber: '''Thank you, Astrid. You need to live and breathe this stuff. The Dragon Manual. Everything we know about every dragon we know of.

''[Thunder roars]''

'''Gobber (cont.): '''No attacks tonight. Study up.

'''Tuffnut: '''Wait, you mean, ''read?''

'''Ruffnut: '''While we're still alive?

'''Snotlout: '''Why read words when you can just kill the stuff the words tell you stuff about?

'''Fishlegs: '''Oh! I've read it like, seven times. There's this water dragon that sprays boiling water at your face. And--And there's this other one that buries itself for like a week--

'''Tuffnut: '''Yeah, that sounds great. See, there was a chance I was going to read that...

'''Ruffnut: '''...But, now...

'''Snotlout: '''You guys read, I'll go kill stuff.

'''Fishlegs: '''Oh, and there's this other one that has these spines that look like trees...

'''Hiccup: '''So I guess we'll share?

'''Astrid: '''Read it.

''[The teens leave Hiccup alone in the hall.]''

'''Hiccup: '''All mine then. Wow, okay. So, I'll see you, uh... ''[Door slams]'' tomorrow.

''[He flips open the book, reading its contents]''

'''Hiccup: '''Dragon classifications. Strike Class, Fear Class, Mystery Class.

'''Hiccup (cont.): '''Thunderdrum: This reclusive dragon inhabits sea caves and dark tide pools. When startled, the Thunderdrum produces a concussive sound that can kill a man at close range. Extremely dangerous, kill on sight. Timberjack: This gigantic creature has razor sharp wings that can slice through full grown trees. Extremely dangerous, kill on sight. Scauldron: Sprays scalding water at its victim. Extremely dangerous. Changewing: Even newly hatched dragons can spray acid. Kill on sight. Gronckle, Zippleback, The Skrill, Boneknapper, Whispering Death. Burns its victims, buries its victims, chokes its victims, turns its victims inside-out. Extremely dangerous, extremely dangerous, kill on sight, kill on sight, kill on sight... ''[flips to the Night Fury page. No picture or information is shown on the page.] ''Night Fury: Speed, unknown. Size, unknown. The unholy offspring of lightning and death itself. Never engage this dragon. Your only chance, hide and pray it does not find you.

''[Scene cuts to several longships gliding through fog]''

'''Stoick: '''I can almost smell them. They're close. Steady.

'''Stoick (cont.): '''Take us in.

'''Viking: '''Hard to port... for Helheim's gate.

''[The boats disappear in the fog. A sudden jumpscare shows dragons attacking.]''

''[Scene cuts to the Arena, in the middle of a training session]''

'''Hiccup: '''You know, I just happened to notice the book had nothing on Night Furies. Is there another book? Or a sequel? Maybe a little Night Fury pamphlet?

''[A Nadder fires at him]''

'''Hicup: '''WHOA!

'''Gobber: '''Focus, Hiccup! You're not even trying!

'''Gobber (cont.): '''Today is all about ''ATTACK!'' Nadders are quick and light on their feet! Your job is to be quicker and lighter!

'''Fishlegs: '''AAAAAH! I'm ''really'' beginning to question your teaching methods!

'''Gobber: '''Look for its blind spot. Every dragon has one. Find it, hide in it, and strike!

'''Ruffnut: '''Ugh! Do you ''ever'' bathe?

'''Tuffnut: '''If you don't like it, then just get your own blind spot!

'''Ruffnut: '''How about I give ''you'' one?!

''[The Nadder attacks the twins]''

'''Gobber: '''Blind spot, yes. ''Deaf'' spot? Not so much. Heh, heh, heh.

'''Hiccup: '''Hey, so how would one sneak up on a Night Fury?

'''Gobber: '''No one's ever met one and lived to tell the tale. ''[Snapping]'' NOW, GET IN THERE!

'''Hiccup: '''I know, I know, but hypothetically--

'''Astrid: '''''[Whispering]'' Hiccup! Get down!

'''Snotlout: '''Watch out, babe. I'll take care of this.'' [tosses hammer at Nadder, but misses]''

'''Astrid: '''Hey!

'''Snotlout: '''The ''sun'' was in my eyes, Astrid! What do you want me to do, block out the sun? I could do that, but I don't have time right now!

'''Hiccup: '''They probably take the daytime off. You know, like a cat. Has anyone ever seen one napping?

'''Gobber: '''Hiccup!

''[The walls start toppling as Astrid starts leaping from wall to wall, the Nadder behind her. Astrid jumps off the last collapsing wall, right onto Hiccup]''

'''Astrid: '''HICCUP!

'''Tuffnut: '''Oooh! Love on the battlefield!

'''Ruffnut: '''She could do better.

'''Hiccup: '''Just... let me... why don't you...

''[Astrid yanks the axe off Hiccup's shield and swings it at the Nadder]''

'''Gobber: '''Well done, Astrid.

'''Astrid: '''''[to Hiccup] ''Is this some kind of a joke to you?! Our parents' war is about to become ours! Figure out which side you're on.

''[Scene cuts to at the cove.]''

''[Hiccup approaches with a fish, leaving his shield behind]''

''[The Night Fury creeps out from behind rock. Sniffs at Hiccup and the fish, slowly approaches, then retreats upon seeing Hiccup's knife. Realizing the dragon feels threatened, Hiccup kicks his knife into water. The Night Fury relaxes and quickly acts friendly, and slowly takes the fish from Hiccup's hand, revealing a toothless mouth]''

'''Hiccup: '''Huh. Toothless. I could've sworn you had...

''[Toothless' teeth suddenly pop out of his gums and he snatches the fish, chomping it in half]''

'''Hiccup (cont.):''' ...teeth. ''(Toothless approaches, sniffing Hiccup)'' Uh, uh, no, no, no. I-I don't have any more.

''[Toothless regurgitates half of the fish, and proceeds to direct Hiccup through biting and swallowing it. Toothless then tries to return Hiccup's smile. He then snarls and flies away when Hiccup reaches towards him. He ignites a small patch of dirt and sleeps on top of it.]''

''[After some time, Toothless sleeps, hanging upside down like a bat, and wakes up to find Hiccup drawing Toothless in the sand, Toothless then use a branch to 'draw' Hiccup in the dirt and becomes angry when Hiccup steps on his lines. Hiccup steps over the lines to finally reach Toothless. Hiccup offers his hand to Toothless while looking away, Toothless finally trusts Hiccup enough to touch his nose to Hiccup's hand. Toothless snorts and runs away.]''

''[Scene cuts to on top the watch tower at night]''

'''Gobber: '''...And with one twist, he took my hand, and swallowed it whole. And I saw the look on his face: I was delicious. He must have passed the word, because it wasn't a month before another one of them took my leg.

'''Fishlegs: '''Isn't it weird to think that your hand was inside a dragon? Like if your mind was still in control of it, you could have killed the dragon from the inside by... crushing his heart, or something.

'''Snotlout: '''I swear, I'm so angry right now! I'll avenge your beautiful hand and your beautiful foot. I'll chop off the legs of every dragon I fight. With my face!

'''Gobber: '''Un-unh. It's the wings and the tails you really want. If it can't fly, it can't get away. A ''downed'' dragon is a ''dead'' dragon. Alright. I'm off to bed. You should be, too. Tomorrow we get to the big boys. Slowly but surely making our way up to the Monstrous Nightmare. But who'll win the honor of killing it?

'''Tuffnut: '''It's gonna be me. It's my destiny. See?

'''Fishlegs: '''''[Gasp]'' Your Mom let you get a tattoo?

'''Tuffnut: '''It's not a tattoo. It's a birthmark.

'''Ruffnut: '''Okay, I've been stuck with you since birth, and that was never there before.

'''Tuffnut: '''Yes, it was. You've just never seen me from the left side until now.

''[After hearing what Gobber said about how a dragon is unable to fly with injured tail or wings, Hiccup heads to the forge late at night, and makes a new tail-fin for Toothless to replace the one the Night Fury lost.]''

''[Hiccup is back at the cove, with a basket of fish and the prosthetic fin.]''

'''Hiccup: '''Hey, Toothless. I brought breakfast. I hope you're hungry. Okay, that's disgusting. Uh... we've got some salmon, some nice Icelandic cod, and a whole smoked eel.

''[Toothless roars in fear at the sight of the eel.]''

'''Hiccup (cont.): '''No, no, no, no! It's okay. ''(throws the eel aside)'' Yeah, I don't really like eel much either.

''[Toothless starts to eat the fish. While he's distracted, Hiccup sneaks toward his tail.]''

'''Hiccup (cont.): '''Okay. That's it. That's it, just stick with good stuff. And don't you mind me. I'll just be back here... minding my own business.

''[Hiccup tries to attach the new tail-fin.]''

'''Hiccup (cont.): '''It's okay. Okay... okay... There. That's not too bad. It works.

''[Toothless stops eating and perks up, seemingly realizing he might be able to fly again]''

''[Toothless takes off with Hiccup literally on his tail. They head towards a rock wall]''

'''Hiccup (cont.): '''Whoa! No! No! No!

''[Hiccup quickly adjusts the tail fin and they dodge the wall]''

'''Hiccup (cont.)'''
OH, MY-- IT'S WORKING! YES! YES, I DID IT!

''[Toothless realizes Hiccup is on his tail and throws him off. Unable to steer the fin on his own, he then crashes into the lake.]''

'''Hiccup: '''AAAAAGGGGHHHHH! Yeah!

''[Scene cuts to Arena, in amiddle of another training session. The arena fills with a greenish fog, obscuring the dragon.]''

'''Gobber: '''Today is about teamwork. Now, a wet dragon head can't light its fire. The Hideous Zippleback is ''extra''tricky. One head ''breathes'' gas, the other head ''lights'' it. Your job is to know which is which.

'''Fishlegs: '''Razor sharp, serrated teeth that inject venom for pre-digestion. Prefers ambush attack, by crushing its victims--

'''Hiccup: '''''[On edge]'' Will you please stop that?!

'''Snotlout: '''If that dragon shows either of his faces, I'm gonna-- there!

''[Snotlout and Tuffnut drench Astrid and Ruffnut, thinking they were the Zippleback.]''

'''Ruffnut: '''Hey! It's us, idiots!

'''Tuffnut: '''Your butts are getting bigger. We thought you were a dragon.

'''Snotlout: '''Not that there's anything wrong with a dragon-esque figure-- Ow!

''[Astrid punches Snotlout in the face, and Ruffnut throws her bucket at Tuffnut, who is then dragged into the wall of smoke.]''

'''Astrid: '''Wait. ''[A tail knocks them off their feet]''

'''Tuffnut: '''''(running out of the mist, screaming)'' OH, I'M HURT! I AM VERY MUCH HURT!

'''Fishlegs: '''Chances of survival are dwindling into single-digits now. ''[One of the Zippleback heads emerges from the mist. Fishlegs throws water at its face, and it angrily spews out some green gas.]''

'''Fishlegs (cont.): '''Oh. Wrong head.

''[The head sprays a large stream of green gas, and Fishlegs runs off screaming. The head turns its attention to Hiccup and the other head comes into view, spitting electrical sparks]''

'''Gobber: '''Fishlegs! Now, Hiccup!

''[Hiccup throws the bucket of water at the spark-spitting head, but misses]''

'''Hiccup: '''Oh, come on!

''[The Zippleback pounces, both heads snarling at Hiccup]''

'''Gobber: '''Hiccup!

''[Hiccup reverses the Hideous Zippleback with a hidden eel.]''

'''Hiccup: '''Back! Back! Back! BACK! Now, don't you make me tell you again! Yes, that's right! Back into your cage. Now think about what you've done.

''[Hiccup shuts the door of the enclosure. He throws the eel inside, and the Zippleback cowers in terror. The teens and Gobber are shocked, and Fishlegs drops his bucket.]''

'''Hiccup (cont.): '''Okay! So, are we done? Because I've got some things I need to, uh... Yep. I'll... see-see you tomorrow!

''[Scene cuts to at the forge, Hiccup making a saddle]''

''[Scene cuts to at the cove, Hiccup presenting Toothless with the saddle]''

'''Hiccup: '''Hey!

''[Toothless playfully runs away from Hiccup.]''

''[Hiccup rides Toothless, tugging the prosthetic tail fin with a rope to change its position. The wind blows at them and they tumble backwards]''

''[Toothless crashes into a field of Dragon Nip and rolls in it comfortably.]''

'''Hiccup (cont.): '''Whoa! ''[holds up Dragon Nip]''

''[Scene cuts to Hiccup still holding up the Dragon Nip, but at the Arena]''

''[Hiccup grounds a Gronckle during training by rubbing Dragon Nip on its nose.]''

'''Fishlegs: '''What was that? Some kind of trick? What did you do?

'''Tuffnut: '''How'd you do that?

'''Ruffnut: '''It was really cool.

'''Fishlegs: '''Hey, Hiccup!

'''Snotlout: '''Hey, Hiccup, I've never seen a Gronckle ''do'' that before!

'''Hiccup: '''I left my axe back in the ring. You guys go on ahead. I'll catch up with you.

''[Scene cuts to back at the cove]''

''[Hiccup puts Toothless to sleep by scratching him just below the chin.]''

''[Scene cuts back to at the Arena]''

''[Hiccup the puts the Deadly Nadder to sleep the same way during training.]''

'''Tuffnut: '''Hiccup, you're totally going to come in first, there's no question.

''[Scen cuts to back at the cove]''

''[Toothless chases a shiny light that Hiccup creates using the sun and a hammer.]''

''[Scene cuts to back at the Arena]''

'''Gobber: '''Meet the Terrible Terror.

''[The cage is opened and the Terrible Terror is revealed to be only the size of a chihuahua. The teens laugh at the tiny dragon.]''

'''Tuffnut: '''Ha! That's like the size of my--

''[The dragon attacks Tuffnut.]''

'''Tuffnut (cont.): '''AH! GET IT OFF! OH, I'M HURT! I AM VERY MUCH HURT!

''[The Terrible Terror chases a shiny light created by Hiccup's shield back into the enclosure]''

'''Tuffnut (cont.): '''''[to Astrid] ''Wow, he's better than you ''ever'' were.

''[Scene cuts to at the forest]''

''[Astrid sees Hiccup holding a harness while throwing her axe at the trees in the forest. Hiccup runs away and loses a furious Astrid.]''

''[Scene cuts to at the cove]''

''[Hiccup practices new tail positions with Toothless, when the rope snaps and bends the safety hook, leaving rider and dragon attached.]''

'''Hiccup: '''Oh, great.

''[Hiccup sneaks Toothless into the blacksmith shop to remove the connecting cord.]''

'''Viking: '''Hiccup.

''[Toothless throws a bucket and Astrid hears the noise.]''

'''Astrid (o.s.): '''Hiccup? Are you in there?

'''Hiccup: '''Astrid. Hey! Hi, Astrid. Hi, Astrid. Hi, Astrid.

'''Astrid: '''I normally don't care what people do, but you're acting weird. Well, ''weirder''.

''[Hiccup is pulled through the shutter doors. Astrid tries to see what happened, but doesn't notice Hiccup flying away with Toothless.]''

''[Scene cuts to at the pier, the destroyed longships from the expedition heading back]''

'''Gobber: '''Well, I trust you found the nest at least?

'''Stoick: '''Not even close.

'''Gobber: '''Ah. Excellent.

'''Stoick: '''I hope you had a little more success than me.

'''Gobber: '''Well, if by success, you mean that your parenting troubles are over with, then... yes.

'''Phlegma: '''Congratulations, Stoick! Everyone is so relieved.

'''Starkard: '''Out with the old and in with the new, right?!

'''Hoark the Haggard: '''No one will miss that old nuisance!

'''Ack: '''The village is throwing a party to celebrate!

'''Stoick: '''He's gone?

'''Gobber: '''Yeah... most afternoons. But who can blame him? I mean the life of a celebrity's very rough. He can barely walk through the village without being swarmed by his new fans.

'''Stoick: '''Hiccup?

'''Gobber: '''Who would've thought, eh? He has this ''way'' with the beasts.

''[Scene cuts to Toothless soaring across the ocean, Hiccup on his back]''

'''Hiccup: '''Okay there, bud, we're gonna take this nice and slow. Here we go. Here we go... position three, no, four. Alright, it's go time. It's go time. Come on, buddy, come on, buddy! ''[changes tail fin position] ''Yes, it worked!

''[Hiccup accidentally flies Toothless into one of the sea stacks.]''

'''Hiccup (cont.): '''Sorry!

''[Hiccup flies Toothless into another sea stack]''

'''Hiccup (cont.): '''That was my fault.

''[Toothless hits him with his ear]''

'''Hiccup (cont.): '''Yeah, yeah, I'm on it. Position four, uh, three. Yeah! Go baby! Yes! Oh, this is amazing! The wind in my...

[''The wind blows his cheat sheet out of his hand]''

'''Hiccup (cont.): '''... CHEAT SHEET! STOP!!

''[Hiccup's diagram flies away and he tries to catch it, but unhooks the safety cord and falls. He tries to get back on the saddle, getting smacked with Toothless' tail in the process.]''

'''Hiccup (cont.): '''NOOOOOO!!! Oh, gosh! Oh, gods! Oh, no! Alright! You gotta kind angle yourself! Okay, no, no, no... come back down towards me! Come back down-- YOW!

''[Finally reattaching, the cheat sheet smacks into his face. Hiccup tries to memorize the sheet before smoothly swerving through rocks, swiftly changing tail positions.]''

'''Hiccup (cont.): '''YEEAHHH! ''(Toothless shoots a blast of fire and flies through it)'' Ah, come on!

''[Scene cuts to on a sea stack where Hiccup and Toothless are resting. Hiccup looks slightly singed by the fire earlier.]''

''[Toothless regurgitates a fish head for hiccup]''

'''Hiccup: '''Uh... no thanks. I'm good.

''[A flock of Terrible Terrors try to steal fish and Toothless tries to chase them away. One of them fights Toothless over a fish and loses. It tries to attack, only to be blasted in the mouth by Toothless, causing it to briefly inflate.]''

'''Hiccup (cont.): '''Not so fireproof on the inside, are you? ''(He tosses the Terror a fish, which it swallows whole)''There you go. Everything we know about you guys is wrong... ''(the Terror curls up next to Hiccup like a kitten, purring softly)''

''[Scene cuts to the Haddock household.]''

'''Hiccup: '''''[sketching Toothless] ''Dad! You're back! Gobber's not here, so...

'''Stoick: '''I know. I came looking for you.

'''Hiccup: '''You did?

'''Stoick: '''You've been keeping secrets.

'''Hiccup: '''I... have?

'''Stoick: '''Just how long did you think you could hide it from me?

'''Hiccup: '''I don't know what you're...

'''Stoick: '''Nothing happens on this island without me hearing about it.

'''Hiccup: '''Oh?

'''Stoick; '''So. Let's talk about that dragon.

'''Hiccup: '''Oh, gods. Dad I'm so sorry. I was going to tell you. I just didn't know how to--

'''Hiccup (cont.): '''You're not... upset?

'''Stoick: '''What?! I was hoping for this!

'''Hiccup:'''Uh... you were?

'''Stoick: '''And believe me, it only gets better! Just wait 'till you spill a Nadder's guts for the first time! And mount your first Gronckle head on a spear! WHAT A FEELING! You really had me going there, son! All those years of the ''worst'' Viking Berk has ever seen! Odin, it was rough! I almost gave up on you! And all the while, you were holding out on me! '''OH, THOR ALMIGHTY!''' Ah. With you doing so well in the ring, we ''finally'' have something to talk about.

'''Stoick (cont.): '''Oh, I... brought you something. To keep you safe in the ring.

''[Stoick holds up a Viking helmet and gives it to Hiccup]''

'''Hiccup: '''''[Sincerely]'' Wow. Thanks.

'''Stoick: '''Your mother would've wanted you to have it. It's half of her breast plate.

'''Stoick (cont.): '''Matching set. Keeps her close, y'know?

'''Stoick (cont.): '''Wear it proudly. You deserve it. You've held up your end of the deal.

'''Hiccup: '''I should really get to bed.

'''Hiccup and Stoick: '''Yes! Good! Okay. Good talk. See you back at the house. We should do this again. I'm great. Thanks for stopping by. Glad I stopped by, I hope you uh, like the hat. And for the... the breast hat.

'''Stoick: '''Well, uh... good night.

''[Scene cuts to at the Arena]''

'''Astrid: '''Stay out of my way! I'm winning this thing.


'''Hiccup; '''Good. Please, by all means.

'''Viking: '''You got it Astrid!

'''Astrid: '''This time! This time, for sure! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGGGGGHHHHHHHH!

[''Astrid sees the Gronckle on the ground, Hiccup standing beside it]''

'''Astrid (cont.): '''NO! NO! SON OF HALF-TROLL, RAT-EATING MUNGE BUCKET!

'''Stoick: '''Wait! Wait!

'''Hiccup: '''So, later.

'''Gobber: '''Not so fast!

'''Hiccup: '''I'm kinda late for--

'''Astrid: '''''What?!'' Late for ''what'', exactly?!

'''Stoick: '''Okay, quiet down. The Elder has decided.

'''Gobber: '''You've done it! You've done it, Hiccup! You get to kill the dragon!

'''Stoick: '''Ha, ha! That's my boy!


'''Hiccup: '''''[Sarcastically] ''Heh. Oh, yeah! Yes! I can't wait. I am so...
