(Scene: The Dragon Riders and the migrating dragons have sought shelter in the cove, waiting for the storm to pass. Rain continues to pour outside, but the cove offers a semblance of protection from the worst of the storm.)
Hiccup: (addressing the Dragon Riders) We did a great job guiding the dragons here, but we need to stay vigilant. The storm is still unpredictable.
Astrid: (nodding) Agreed. The last thing we want is for any of the dragons to get spooked and start flying in this weather.
Fishlegs: (checking his notebook) The Gronckles are staying calm, though Meatlug seems a bit restless.
Snotlout: (sarcastically) Great observation, Fishlegs. Maybe she's tired of the rain, just like the rest of us.
Fishlegs: (ignoring Snotlout) We should keep an eye on the Thunderdrum, too. It's still injured.
Ruffnut: (looking at Emberwing) And let's not forget our fiery friend. Emberwing seems to be enjoying the storm a little too much.
Tuffnut: (laughs) Yeah, I think Emberwing would gladly trade places with the storm if it could.
Astrid: (smirking) Well, at least one of us is having a good time.
[Outside, a particularly strong gust of wind howls through the cove, causing the dragons to huddle closer together.]
Hiccup: (wrapping his arms around Toothless) It's getting worse out there. We need to keep the dragons calm until the storm subsides.
Astrid: (placing a reassuring hand on Stormfly's snout) They'll be fine. Our dragons trust us to protect them.
Hiccup: (nodding) You're right, Astrid. We'll get through this together.
Fishlegs: (looking worried) I just hope the storm doesn't last much longer.
Snotlout: (shouting over the wind) Yeah, I don't want to be stuck in this cave with all of you for too long!
Ruffnut: (teasingly) Oh, poor Snotlout can't handle a little bonding time.
Tuffnut: (joining in) Yeah, it's like a dragon sleepover party in here!
Snotlout: (annoyed) I never signed up for this bonding nonsense!
[A sudden flash of lightning and a loud crack of thunder outside make the dragons jump, and some of the riders look tense.]
Astrid: (calmly) It's okay, guys. It's just a storm. We're safe in here.
Hiccup: (stroking Toothless' head) Toothless and I have been through worse, haven't we, bud?
[Toothless purrs reassuringly, and the other dragons follow suit, providing comfort to their riders.]
Fishlegs: (softly) You're right, Astrid. The dragons trust us to keep them safe.
Ruffnut: (smirking) Yeah, and even Snotlout can't deny that he trusts Hookfang with his life.
Snotlout: (grumbling) Fine, fine. Hookfang's not so bad.
Tuffnut: (teasing) Aww, look at that. Snotlout's showing a softer side.
Snotlout: (defensively) Don't get used to it!
[Astrid chuckles, and Hiccup looks around at his friends, smiling.]
Hiccup: (warmly) I'm proud of all of you. We faced this storm together, and we'll keep the dragons safe until it passes.
[The Dragon Riders nod in agreement, their bond with their dragons stronger than ever.]
Fishlegs: (looking out at the storm) The winds seem to be dying down a bit.
Astrid: (glancing at the dragons) Let's give it a little more time before we venture out. We want to be sure it's safe for the dragons.
Ruffnut: (grinning) Yeah, we don't want them to get blown away like little leaf-like things.
Tuffnut: (laughs) Leaf-like things? You mean like, leaves?
Ruffnut: (mocking) No, Tuff. Like, totally different from leaves.
[The Dragon Riders share a laugh, their camaraderie shining through despite the storm. They continue to wait in the cove, keeping the dragons safe until the storm finally subsides.]
