Measuring up to a Viking Father isn't easy, especially when your father is also the chief of your village

(The Great Hall)

Hiccup and Stoick were at the Great Hall Stoick was holding a sword while Hiccup was holding a shield

The reason behind this was that Bucket was painting a portrait of them to hang it on the walls of the Great Hall

"Shoulders back and chin up son" Stoick said to Hiccup who did as he was told "This portrait is going to hang in this hall forever"

Suddenly Bucket stopped painting and cleaned some dust from Stoick's shoulder and straightened Hiccup's shield "I can't do this" Bucket said before he pounded his head against a pillar "Okay, I'm good"

"I've never seen Bucket like this" Hiccup whispered "Well, after he lost half his brain, he became an artist" Stoick said as Bucket placed some paint on the shiel he was using to make the portrait

"So, he actually paints?" Hiccup asked "Oh, he's the best of the best" Stoick said 

"He's going to make us proud of portrait will take its place alongside all the other chiefs and sons" Stoick said gesturing at the other portraits

"That is the only picture of me and my own father" Stoick said looking at the portrait of himself and his father "It was a great day, and so this is"

"Chest out son" Stoick said when he and Hiccup looked at the front again

Hiccup took a deep breath to expand his chest but seconds later he let it out in a deep huff "Yeah, this is as out as it goes dad" Hiccup said

"Ah, very well then" Stoick said

(Night time in the Great Hall)

Sometime later while the adults were eating the teens were looking at the other portraits of the other chiefs

"Look at all these great leaders" Astrid said amazed "Hiccup, you should feel honored to be joining them tomorrow" Blake said

"There goes the neighborhood" Snotlout said "You're part of an elite group my friend" Fishegs said as they walked in front of the portraits

"And one of a few who wasn't killed by the successor" Fishlegs said "So far" Tuffnut muttered with a chuckle

"I guess it is a big deal, I mean it's like being part of the history, right?" Hiccup said

"A story of goofballs" Snotlout said pointing at a portrait of a blonde Viking and his son

"That's Hamish the First" Fisglegs gasped "Hamish the First?" Blake repeated not knowing who he was

"Our richest and most revered leader" Fishlegs explained "And the other is his son Hamish the Second"

"I'm Hamish the First" Snotlout said with an annoying voice "Bow down before me and kiss my pointy shoes"

The twins chuckled and pushed Snotlout making the portrait of Hamish fall on Snotlout's head

"Look what you did to the Hamishes" Fishlegs said picking up the painting "Forgive us please" he said putting the painting where it belongs but a single sheet fell from it

"What's this?" Blake said picking up the sheet "It looks like some kind of map" Snotlout said grabbing the sheet "With poetry"

"I'll take that" Gobber said taking the sheet away from the teens "Hey, that's my poetry map" Snotlout said

"What's wrong with the map dad, is it supposed to be destroyed or something?" Blake asked guessing the reason why Gobber took it

"Actually yes, this was supposed to be destroyed" Gobber said "Why? What's so special about it?" Astrid said trying to grab the map from Gobber's hand
