Hiccup woke up the net morning ready and able to do the next thing on his list. Today is the day that he would return to dragon training. Since the training will be later on in the day, he decided to go on to the small valley where toothless was to test out the prosthetic tail. Changing into his signature outfit he noticed that it was starting to get a little smaller for him.
Probably because of all the lifting he has done for Gobber at the smithy is the reason he is starting to develop a small bit of muscle. Shaking the thoughts off he exited out of his house to go to the market section of the village. Arriving there his interest lies on getting only one thing. Fish.
Arriving there he did not know toothless' preferences on fish. So he got anything that he believed toothless would like. Along with a whole smoked eel, he has the merchant put it all in a basket. After paying what is required, he nods to the merchant before turning taking his fish and leaving to his next destination. Going through the woods he immediately hears sounds of banging along with loud battle cries. Squinting his eyes in confusion he decides to ignore them and continues on to where he needs to be. He knows that he doesn't have much time before the next training session starts.
Finally arriving at the little canyon he enters to look for his reptilian companion. Looking left and right he finally spots toothless resting next to the lake staring at him. Hiccup smiles as he walks over to the black dragon with goodies on back before putting it down and knocking it over.
Seeing that his most frequent visitor had brought him food Toothless gets up while licking at his lips in anticipation for a nice long meal. When he was about to start digging in to the buffet the boy brought he stops and begins to growl at a particular item hidden in the fish.
Hearing Toothless' discomfort Hiccup turns to see him backing away. Confused he looks at the food items he had brought for a moment before remembering the only one item that was out of place. Bending down he grabs the smoked eel before lifting it up to Toothless, only to see him give a loud roar with fear in his eyes. Quickly tossing the eel aside he holds his arms out with a small whisper coming out.
"Easy there..." he whispers as he sees his scaly friend finally calm down before turning back to the fish and begins to dine on his favorite food. Wiping his hands on his vest he goes up behind Toothless to finally get to work on attaching the tail. After struggling for five minutes to get the tail to hold still decides to sit on it. Quickly getting to work he straps the tail in before folding it out to see if he got the proportions right. Putting his hand on his chin he leans his head to the side as he stares at the tail in wonder. He knew that it works; the question was would it let Toothless fly again. Pondering about the tailfin he fails to notice the wings behind him spreading wide open before taking off.
Hiccup was not prepared for toothless to do this. After shaking off the shock he grabs at the prosthetic tail fin and opens it right before toothless hits the water. Instead of joining the dragon in the water he is surprised to see that the dragon pulled up and flew a lot more smoothly. Turning the fin forcefully he is surprised to again to see that Toothless had started to fly left before going back down into the little canyon.
Caught off guard he is thrown off of Toothless' tail when he swings his tail around. The effect made Hiccup fly off onto the water and bounces three times before finally coming to a stop. Getting up after landing in the shallow end he is glad that he did not ram into a rock. Shaking that thought and cold feeling off he looks toward Toothless and his prosthetic tail before pumping his fist into the air in victory. Getting out of the water he waits for Toothless to do the same so he can remove the tail fin he had made for him.
