Chapter 17: The waiting game, Peace On Berk

Start from the beginning
                                    

"Toothless, stay here." Hiccup told him as he opened the door again.

He poked his head out and saw the same Monstrous Nightmare but what he didn't expect was that it was the same one as before the battle and that... Snotlout is riding him!

"Come on, guys, get ready! Hold on tight! Here we go!" Snotlout exclaimed as he flew away with several other Vikings riding on dragons as well.

"What...?" He breathed in shock.

Hiccup finally came out and was met with a sight that surprised him to his core and he couldn't help but feel happy. There are dragons everywhere and Vikings are getting along with them and no weapons are in sight. Only dragons.

"I knew it. I'm dead." Hiccup deadpan as he was still speechless while watching the sight before him.

He heard laughter from behind him and saw that it was his dad and he was... smiling?! Was he not mad with dragons and Vikings getting along?!

"No, but you gave it your best shot. So? What do you think?" Stoick said with an amused chuckle before asking and gesturing to the sight.

What does he think? He's shocked out of his wits right now and nothing could explain the sight before him.

"Hey, look! It's Hiccup!" A viking shouted when they caught a glimpse of their hero up and awake.

The next thing he knew, he was being surrounded by vikings with smiles on their faces and asking how he is and other things.

"Hiccup, how you doin' mate?"

"It's great to see you up and about."

Hiccup looks towards his dad in confusion on what's going on as he continues to smile at him.

"Turns out all we needed was a little more of... this." Stoick said while gesturing to Hiccup as he couldn't help but smile a little.

"You just gestured to all of me." He said with a small smile.

"Well, most of you."

He turned and saw Gobber walking up to him as he gestured to his prosthetic leg.

"That bit's my handiwork. With a little "Hiccup Flair" thrown in. You think it'll do?" Gobber asked as Hiccup lifted his fake leg and noted that it was well built and he couldn't help but be thankful.

"I might make a few tweaks." He joked as they all laughed at him.

A roar was heard and they looked up and Optimus landed.

"Hiccup!" It was Emily!

She jumped off Optimus' back and ran towards him and hugged him tightly.

"I'm so relieved you're finally awake." She said in relief as he hugged back.

"Good to see you too, Ems." Hiccup said quietly.

They both pulled back before she punched his shoulder and it caused him to wince.

"Ow!" He cried out in surprise more than pain.

"That's for scaring me half to death." She told him with a stern look.

"What is it with you punching me suddenly?! Is it always going to be this way? Cause..." Hiccup complained but he was cut off when she kissed his forehead.

"...I could get used to it." He said embarrassingly as she laughed while ruffling his hair.

Gobber then handed Hiccup a newly repaired saddle and other flying gear for Toothless and Emily gave him his new flying suit.

"Welcome home." He said as he couldn't help but smile.

"Night Fury!"

That caught their attention as they turned to see that Toothless was coming towards them excitedly.

"Get down!"

Toothless jumped on several vikings and caused them to fall over before landing in front of his rider and friend as he eyed the new gears excitedly. Both Emily and Hiccup couldn't help but laugh in amusement at him.

A few moments later, Hiccup and Emily were lined up for a race around the island and on Toothless and Optimus with Smokescreen, Tailgate and Ultra Magnus joining. Hiccup fiddled with the new stirrup as he looked back and saw that the new tail was brand new. It was red with a white skull painted on it. He looked at his friends before looking at Toothless who was really eager to get back in the air.

"You ready?" Hiccup asked him as he snorted with a smile as Hiccup looked around with wonder and a smile.

Hiccup: This... is Berk. It snows nine months of the year, and hails the other three.

They then took off and raced each other laughing as the other riders soon joined them in the race.

Emily: Any food that grows here is tough and tasteless. The people that grow here are even more so. The only upsides are the pets.

Hiccup: While other places have... ponies or parrots...

Hiccup and Emily both look at each other before the two dragons skyrocketed towards the sky as their riders whooped in joy.

Emily and Hiccup: We have... dragons!
