Watching the Future Part 1

HTTYP Part 7

Later that afternoon after the incident at the arena, Hiccup entered with a shield and a fish with Emily right behind him as she was holding a cabbage with salmon.

Ratchet raised an optic ridge while Optimus' optics glowed in amusement as he remembered this. Emily gave Hiccup an orange attack flavored slushie and he liked it.

Hiccup looks over the shield to see if the Night Fury and Optimus were in his line of sight but the two weren't. Making sure to see if the cost was clear, he tossed the cod in his hand over the shield and it landed with a splat on the ground. Still nothing, he walked forward but the shield was instantly stuck between two rocks that he and Emily were hiding behind.

Miko just cringed her face at the sight of the raw fish while dragons perked up.

He tried to pull it back but it wouldn't budge so he crawled underneath it while Emily just went around the rocks as he tried to pull it from the other side but it was stuck and caused him to sigh before looking back at the cod. He picks it up and starts making his way around the cove while Emily seems to be at ease at the moment as they were looking for their scaly friends.

Unknown to them, the Night Fury and Optimus were hiding and watching them curiously. Optimus took a quick whiff of the air when he smelt something and looked to where Emily is and almost instantly his mouth began to water at the sight of the fish and vegetables. Even though he finds it strange that he needs organic sustenance, it doesn't seem like a bad thing to imagine.

Emily had to cover her smile behind her hand as the team gave Optimus an amused or confused look much to his embarrassment which she can feel through both his EM field and their spark bond.

Emily heard something move just beside them and she nudged Hiccup instantly when she spotted their scaly friends. Hiccup let out a short gasp when he saw the Night Fury creeping out from its hiding spot while Optimus just followed and was looking at the two expectantly. The Night Fury sniffs at Hiccup cautiously but mainly the fish and takes on a defensive stance.

Everyone held their breath at this and waited.

Hiccup swallowed his fear and held out the fish to the hungry dragon. It approached him slowly but quickly retreated with a warning growl when a faint metallic scent reached his nose. Hiccup backed away slightly and moved his vest away to reveal the dagger that he brought before Emily nudged him gently.

The Vikings raised an eyebrow at this. The dragon doesn't like the weapon?

"I don't think it likes the knife, Hiccup." Emily whispered while eyeing the Night Fury cautiously as Optimus was a little wary.

"Yeah, I kinda figured that out already." Hiccup whispered back.

"Note to self. Never bring or hold a weapon around Toothless or Optimus." Hiccup said.

Hiccup moved his hand to the dagger and got a defensive growl in response. He gulped slightly before taking the dagger from his waistband slowly and dropping it on the ground. The Night Fury was still unconvinced and made a motion for him to throw it away. Hiccup understood the gesture for some reason, used his foot to pick the dagger up before tossing it into the pond with a small splash of the water.

Once the weapon or threat was gone, the Night Fury instantly calmed down and was looking like a curious puppy and Emily had to stop herself from laughing as she moved to Optimus who came to her as she gave him his fish and cabbage and made him warble softly in content while scratching his chin and making him purr deeply.

That made many jaws drop as Emily smiled fondly while some girls and viking kids awed the sight since it was cute. Miko was practically bouncing in her seat and Tai had to hold her still in amusement.
