Episode 7: To Heather or Not To Heather

Start from the beginning
                                        

Hiccup: I know you're upset—

Bodil: Upset? Hiccup, my dragon's wing could have been ripped off.

Hiccup: But it wasn't. Aquantis will be fine in a few days. She was mostly just spooked and shocked.

Bodil: That's not the point Hiccup! She should feel safe and comfortable with her team. She dove straight into Viggo's fleet for Windshear and for what? To almost get crippled a couple of months later by the same dragon?

Hiccup: Bo. You know everything I do is in the best interest of the group.

Bodil: Oh gods.

Hiccup: I know you don't trust her—

Bodil: (Scoffs) Understatement of the year.

Hiccup: But I know (He grabs both her shoulders) you trust me. And trust me to make the best decision for this group.

Bodil: If you were anyone else—

Hiccup: Oh I know. Come on. (She gives him a begrudging hug. Scene Change) So, uh, how's she doing?

Heather: Better.

Hiccup: She seems better.

Heather: I just wish I knew what happened.

Hiccup: Look, we've flown hundreds of missions. This was Windshear's first one. You should've seen Snotlout when we first started. He couldn't fly ten feet without somehow setting himself on fire.

Snotlout: Did I hear my name? Were you guys talking about me? I know you were. I'm gonna be in my hut. It's got a great view. Come check it out. Hookfang!

Hiccup: We just need to get Windshear some training. Start with simple flying drills, formations. Get her used to what it's like to work with other dragons.

Heather: I don't know. I think I just need to keep her away from other dragons while we're here.

Hiccup: Well, now, that's gonna be kind of tough if you become a Dragon Rider.

Heather: What? Why would I become-

Hiccup: Heather, that's part of why we asked you here. Just let me work with you guys. You see? Nothing to it. Let's try a good old-fashioned Wingman formation. Toothless and I are gonna slow down and play the part of Windshear's wingman. We're here for cover, if anything comes up beside or behind you. Hey! Not bad at all. All right, your turn. You and Windshear take our wing. Pull back harder.

Heather: I am. Believe me.

Hiccup: Toothless, no! Whoa!

Heather: Hiccup! Windshear, down.

Hiccup: Toothless! Where's Toothless? I have to get to him.

Heather: Uh, Hiccup, where are you going?

Hiccup: Uh. Ahh! Come on, bud. You gotta help me out here. Be the bigger dragon. Okay, so that didn't go quite as planned, but I promise that tomorrow-

Heather: There's not gonna be a tomorrow.

Hiccup: Oh. Heather-

Heather: Clearly, this was a mistake. We just don't fit in here.

Hiccup: What are you talking about? You fit in great. Besides, do you really want to do that to Fishlegs?

Heather: No, of course not. But it's obvious that Windshear can't work with the other dragons and hurt someone. I knew this wouldn't work. It's just better if we go.

Fishlegs: Hey, Heather. Oh.

Heather: Are you okay?

Fishlegs: Fine. Just gonna take a knee for a second.
