It was now night, Gustav, Frida, and the five terrors were now at the edge of the docks. Sky was sitting on Rocky the "rock" while purring. There were fishing nets on the docks besides them.

Frida: Gustav, why did you drag me to the docks, I'm supposed to lock the dragons up with my brother and his friends.

Gustav: Well, about that...

Frida: ( knowingly, with her arms crossed: ) Going behind my dad's back again?

Gustav: Yep. Just listen, you and the dragons shouldn't have to ignore your instincts to live in the village. It's in your nature. As Hiccup is going to say to the teens, we just need to learn how to use it.

Frida: ( with her arms still crossed: ) And how are we going to use my instincts exactly?

Gustav: Easy, turn into a dragon and jump in the water.

Frida: ( is confused: ) What?

Gustav: You used to hunt and fish to survive, and you have a lot of extra energy because you're not doing it anymore, right?

Frida: Yeah...?

Gustav: And the village needs more food, right?

Frida: Yeah...

Gustav: Why not, instead of snapping and lashing out at objects in the village, you use this extra energy to hunt more food for the village.

Frida: Gustav, you're my friend, but look at me, I'm 12, this isn't going to work-

Frida then suddenly turns into her dragon form and jumps into the water without hesitation, causing the terrors to turn to Gustav as he smiled knowingly as his lycanwing friend swam into the water.

Gustav: ( to the terrors, honestly: ) Yes, I knew her instincts were going to snap, I was just waiting for it. Now, we wait, and when Frida gets some fish, we'll use the nets to carry the fish to the food storage.

( With Frida, under water )

Frida's pupils were slitted and some amounts of the glowing yellow liquid dripped from her fangs as she used her wings and tail to help her swim through the water. She then found a large school of fish, and by instinct she swam around the fish in circles, surrounding the fish, before she opened her mouth slightly and small amounts of fire to come out of her mouth and began warming that area of water up to it's boiling peak.

( Back to Gustav and the terrors )

Gustav and Frida's terrors watched in surprise as a whole school of fish floated to the surface of the small area of boiling water, which began to cool down.

Gustav: Whoa.

Sky then growled at the four male terrors, Dusty and Ghost then grabbed a fishing net, flew off with it, and used it to scoop up the fish as the sun began to rise, and the riders flew by on their dragons.

Gustav: ( yells out, to the riders: ) It worked!!

Then a bunch more fish began floating up to the surface and the riders had shock looks.
