Learn to let go - Part 1

"So I was thinking that we could maybe move the crop land over to the north side of the island si-" Hiccup was explaining to the New Berk council in the Great Hall before he was interrupted.
"- DAD! DAD! DAAAAAD!" 14 year old Zephyr ran into the Great Hall with her long plait like her mother swaying with every step. She was both her mother and father but the family and Berk could sense more of a Hiccup side to her.
"Zephyr? What is it? Are you ok?!?" Hiccup asked immediately as he stepped down from the table. He gently took her face in his hands inspecting every inch, looking for injuries or bruises.
"Dad, dad... I'm fine ok! I need to talk to you!" She said excitedly with a large grin and jumping up and down a little.
"Ok," Hiccup turned around towards the council sat at the table. "We will continue this later, meanwhile Snotlout can you help move those logs in here with Fishlegs?"
"Sure thing chief" Snotlout replied moving out the hall.
"So what is it Zeph?" He asked, sitting down in his chair and leaning back, relaxing.
"Weeeell, I got asked out today!" She said excitedly, making Hiccup sit up in panic.
"You mean... by a boy?"
"No dad a dragon! Of course a boy!"
"Who is it?"
"Just a friend..."
"Well... you can't go..." Hiccup said getting up from his seat.
"What! DAD!" Zephyr said, her smile turning into a complete frown.
"No... you are way to young Zeph to be going out with boys doing all sorts!"
"Dad, I am practically the same age as you and mum went you started dating!"
"That was different..." Hiccup began to walk away out the door with Zephyr following close behind.
"HOW! How was it!" Zephyr's voice was now raised, walking out with Hiccup to the village.
"Don't give me that tone Zeph! You aren't going and that's final!" Hiccup said as they stopped at the top of the steps.
"Ugh I HATE YOU!" Zephyr shouted and ran off to their hut, crying and slamming the door behind her.
Hiccup sighed as he noticed some people in the village had been watching, quickly getting back to work as the chief was walking down into the main village.
"What was that about, lad?" Hiccup turned to see Gobber taking off his apron.
"Zephyr's been asked out by a boy..." Hiccup sighed.
"Ah young love!" He said.
"She can't go Gobber! She's... she's too young..." he said.
"Lad, she's about the same age as you and Astrid when you two began having feelings for eachother..." Gobber put a hand on Hiccup's shoulder.
"Yes but that was different..."
"How lad?"
"I... I don't know... it just is..." Hiccup sighed again.
"She's growing up lad... you can't stop it, you need begin to let go..."
"No... she my little girl... I won't let her go-"
