It was a cloudy day at Berk, all of the teens were at the docks waiting for Trader Johann's arrival
Eventually, his ship appeared in sight
"Trader Johann is here!" Fishlegs said excitedly "Everyone, Trader Johann is here!"
"Johann, that guy never lets me touch any of his cool stuff" Snotlout complained
"Because you always break something" Blake said
"Hey, how can you say that if you never come to trade with Johann?" Snotlout asked "If fact, why are you even here?"
"Hiccup said he had an emergency and forced me to come" Blake said looking slightly at Hiccup
"I just needed an excuse to make you come. You never come to trade with Johann, so I thought you'd like to give it a try" Hiccup said
"Okay, I'll try it" Blake said
Then, the teens went to see Johann on board
"Berk, the crown jewel of the entire archipelago" Trader Johann said
"Over here, Trader Johann" Fishlegs said excitedly "What did you bring today?"
"Many wondrous things, Mr. Fishlegs. Treasures from every coast and every shore" Trader Johann said as he looked for something between all his stuff. Then, he pulled out a pair of pearl earrings "Like the pearls of Dinjar, perfect for that especial lady in your life"
Snotlout looked at the pearls for a moment before looking at Astrid
"You know those could be yours, Astrid, just say the word" Snotlout said
"Yuck!" Astrid said as she walked away
"That's not the word" Snotlout said just before Gobber got on board
"Mr. Gobber, what can interest you in?" Trader Johann asked
"Why don't you 'wow' me, Johann? Knock me off my feet" Gobber said
"Put me to a test, are you? okay" Trader Johann said
"Hang on" Gobber said as he looked to something that was covered on a sheet "What's under there?"
"Oh, nothing, just a pile of-" Trader Johann began before getting interrupted by Gobber who saw what was under the sheet
"Scrap metal" he said "It's perfect, I've run out of things to pound around here"
"Whoa, that's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen" Tuffnut said
"It's just scrap metal" Astrid said
"What's so especial about it?" Blake asked
"No, I'm talking about the mace" Tuffnut said before running towards a shiny mace and hugging it "Hey mace, you want to come home with me, don't you?"
Astrid and Blake looked at each other for a moment before looking back at Tuffnut
"Uh... can we pretend we didn't see that?" Blake asked
"Sure" Astrid said
Meanwhile, Gobber was still analyzing the scrap metal
"I see you're a gentleman that recognizes quality when he sees it" Trader Johann said "This is the finest metal from the furthest reaches from the archipelago"
Gobber took a broken sword and bit it "I'll take it all" he said
Then, Toothless got on the ship and sniffed the scrap metal before growling at it. Also, Toothless accidentally made the pile of metal crash, so Trader Johann turned around in order to see what happened but he only saw all of his stuff smashed and Snotlout sanding near by
