Present Day
"Huh, so, I guess technically it was Tuffnut who invented this sport." Hiccup says.
"Ugh, which is disturbing." I add.
"Yeah. Technically it was." Tuff says.
The sheep that landed in someone's roof bleats as Ruff and Tuff try to pull it out my it's back legs.
"That's, um, embarrassing." Astrid says.
"Well, at least you came up with most of the rules." I say.
"Well, this is depressing." The Jorgensen says.
Hiccup sits next to him on his sheep launcher and says, "Look, we all played a part in it."
"Really? What did I do?" Snotlout says.
"The cheating." Hiccup says. "That was all you."
Snotlout says, "Yeah. Yeah! I did cheat! No one can take that away from me."
"Actually, he had no idea what we were doing." Tuffnut calls down from the roof.
"Yeah. He wasn't even in on the super-secret plan." Ruff adds.
"Stop your yammering. Put your back into it, woman." Tuff says.
They both strain as the attempt to pull the sheep out.
"Okay. How about we all invented dragon racing?" Hiccup calls up to them.
"Can we just say that?" I add.
"Oh, sure." Tuffnut says. "But it wouldn't be accurate 'cause Snotlout did nothing. No thing. Zippo. Goose egg. Yeah, I said it. It was like he wasn't even—ow!"
Snotlout fires another sheep, hitting Tuff and sending him flying off the roof. Ruffnut laughs at her brother's misfortune.
"There."
"I did, however invent this." Snotlout laughs. "Snotlout!"
A horn blows calling us all to the dragon race. Toothless growls happily. Vision also roars, excitement thick in the air.
"That's right, Bud." Hiccup says.
"Race time." I say to Vision, giving him some scratches.
"Yeah! Let's do it! Whoo-hoo!"
"All right!"
"Hey, target face, this way."
"Ugh! Ingerman family crest."
"Whoo-hoo!"
"I may not have invented this game, but I'm gonna win it!"
"Not if we have anything to say about it!" I say, calling after Snotlout. Saviour roars in agreement. "Vision, Saviour. Let's take them down."
(Time Skip)
The race was great! Astrid and I were neck and neck, but I still won by one point. I'm totally gonna use that against her.
After the game, I head over to the Hofferson house. I take a deep breath and knock on the door.
"Just a minute!" I heard Agnes' voice from behind the door. After a few seconds, the door opens and the smell of fresh bread fills my nose.
"Nara! What a surprise! Come in, come, come." Agnes leads me inside, closing the door behind me. I walk over to the living room and I sit down on the couch. "Can I get you anything dear?"
"No, thank you, Agnes." I say. "I actually have something to ask you."
"Of course! Anything, my dear." Agnes says.
