It was the next day, and Frida and the gang were at the academy as they and their dragons were gathered to see the saddles Gobber made for them and what Gobber had made for Frida. Frida was currently holding Rocky with both of her arms.

Hiccup: Alright, this is an exciting day for all of us. Gobber has been working hard to-

Gobber: I think they might want to hear from the artist himself. ( To the gang: ) I've made a lot of saddles in my day. Horse, donkey, and now, dragon. But these saddles are special. They're like my children; that is if you strapped your child to a flaming reptile and rode it. And I've made all kinds of things to help people carry something heavy in my day. Large amounts of food, wood, and now, ( gestures to Rocky ) dragon eggs. So without further ado-

Gobber then unveils the odd-looking-and-equipped saddles and a small, what looked like a thing that was a mixture of a cradle and a dog sled with harnesses that looked to be made for the terrors. Frida and the terrors looked at it curiously, and saw that Gobber had used the chest that they found Rocky in to make the strange object.

Tuffnut: Whoa!

Snotlout: Wow!

Frida: ( is looking at the thing Gobber made for her and the terrors ) Interesting...

Hiccup: Wow, Gobber. This-this is certainly not what I imagined.

Gobber: How could it be? I'm Gobber! Nobody knows what it's like to live in here. ( Taps his helmet with his hammer-hand )

Frida and the terrors went to the strange object, Frida looking at it curiously as she looked at it, ignoring the chaos going on behind her. They jumped slightly when they heard the sound of a loud horn, and they saw Snotlout get pinned to the wall by nadder spines.

Snotlout: Really? Again?

Frida laughed slightly before Gobber and Hiccup walked up to her.

Hiccup: And what exactly is-

Gobber: Think of it as a dragon cradle sled. ( To Frida: ) Here, let me show you how it works.

Gobber carefully picked Rocky up, and Frida held in a laugh at Gobber's face when he felt how heavy the egg was.

Gobber: You weren't kidding about it being heavy, lass. This beast is going to be a big one, I can feel it. Alright, you place the egg here and close the lid so it can stay warm...

Gobber gently placed Rocky in the chest of the " dragon cradle sled " and closed the lid.

Gobber: Then you strap the harnesses onto the terrors, and whenever you want to take the egg along with you somewhere, all they have to do is pull the sled.

Gobber then strapped the harnesses onto Frida's terrors, and as soon as all the tiny dragons were strapped to the sled, they quickly began running around the place, pulling the sled and Rocky with them. Frida smiled happily as she turned into a dragon and began running with her terrors.

Gobber: I knew they would love it.

Hiccup: ( under his breath: ) At least one of his ideas worked out. ( To Gobber: ) So, anyway with the saddles, I-I think we're really gonna need to make a few-
