[A dragon screech catches their attention. Astrid and Stormfly land on the island and enter the scene.]
Hiccup holds Astrid's hand and Astrid lays her head on her shoulder.
[Toothless runs over excitedly to greet Stormfly.]
Hiccup: Afternoon, milady. Where have you been?
Astrid: Well, winning races. What else? The real question is... where have YOU been?
Hiccup: Avoiding my dad.
Astrid: Oh, no. What happened now?
The teens were confused but the chief does not.
Hiccup: Oh, you're gonna love this. I wake up. The sun's shining. Terrible Terrors are singing on the rooftop.
Tuffnut: Terrors can sing?
One of the Terrors flew in the front to prove it and starts to sing earning irritating people who are covering their ears.
Tuffnut: Okay, okay, okay! You can stop now!
The Terror pouted in frustration as it flew back to its seat.
Clara: That dragon didn't realize that some of us are sensitive to loud noises.
Carol agreed.
Hiccup (cont.): I saunter down to breakfast, thinking all is right with the world and I get: (Imitating Stoick) "Son, we need to talk."
The Vikings chuckled.
Astrid: (Imitates Hiccup) "Not now, Dad. I've got a whole day of goofing off to get started."
Both Thorston and Dawn twins burst to laugh and Astrid glared at them and herself for being giggly.
Hiccup: Okay, first of all, I don't sound like that. What is this character? And second... what is that thing you're going with my shoulders?
Hiccup: A truly flattering impersonation. Anyway he goes: (Imitating Stoick) "You're the pride of Berk, son, and I couldn't be prouder..."
Snotlout: Pride of Berk? That sounds ridiculous.
Just then, another sandbag busts in.
Astrid: (Imitates Hiccup talking to his dad) "Aw, thanks, Dad. I'm pretty impressed with myself, too."
Everyone chuckled again.
Hiccup: (Laughing) WHEN have I ever done that with my hands?
Astrid: You just did.
Astrid: You just did.
Astrid: Huh, Deja Vu.
Hiccup: Okay... just... hold still. It's very serious.
Everyone quiet down knowing it was serious.
Hiccup: "You're all grown up, and since no chief could ask for a better successor, I've decided--"
Everyone gasped realizing what he's talking about.
Astrid: (Cuts Hiccup off; excited) TO MAKE YOU CHIEF! Oh, my gods! Hiccup, that's amazing!
[Astrid Punches Hiccup hard in the chest. His fin pops out. Hiccup grunts and Astrid laughs. He then winds the fin back into his flight suit.]
Hiccup: You're gonna wear out the spring coil. The calibration is very sensitive!
[Toothless and Stormfly come running past chasing each other and knock over Astrid and Hiccup.]
Hiccup: Yeah, so... this is what I'm dealing with.
Astrid: What did you tell him?
Hiccup: I didn't. By the time he turned around, I was gone.
Stoick sighed.
Stoick: As always.
Astrid: Well, it's a lot of responsibility. The map will have to wait for sure, and I'll need to fly Toothless, since you'll be too busy...
[Astrid realizes what she just said.]
Hiccup: You do realize that I'm not ready, you know?
Stoick pointed out that his son was right.
Hiccup: It's not me, Astrid. All those speeches, and planning, and running the village... that's his thing.
Astrid: I think you're missing the point. I mean, chief. What an honor. I'd be pretty excited.
Hiccup: I'm not like you. You know exactly who you are. You always have. But... I'm still looking. I know that I'm not my father... and I never met my mother.... so, what does that make me?
Valka starts to worry as her son mentions to her that they never met before.
[Hiccup sits down and gazes off into space. Astrid sits down beside him and starts braiding his hair.]
Astrid: What you're searching for... isn't out there, Hiccup.
[Astrid puts her hand to Hiccup's chest.]
Astrid (cont.): It's in here. Maybe you just don't see it yet.
[Astrid kisses Hiccup's cheek but pulls back with Toothless' spit on her face. Disgusted, she tries to wipe it off.]
Astrid glared at the Night Fury who coos at her for forgiveness.
Hiccup: Maybe. But, y'know... there is something out there.
Astrid: Hiccup...
[He grabs Astrid's chin and points her straight ahead of them, showing her a large cloud of smoke.]
Valka: This is not good.
