It was the next day, and the dragons had yet to return, which saddened everyone on Berk. Frida and Grump were walking with Snotlout and the twins, Frida was pulling Rocky along with her, Rocky had yet to hatch and was in the cradle sled with the small fur blanket wrapped over the egg. Frida then precked up slightly at the scent of something as Astrid ran up to them, she was carrying mugs of something on a shield like it was a tray.

Astrid: Hey, you guys! Try this tasty new beverage I made for the holiday.

Frida had a curious look on her face.

Tuffnut: Ugh! What's that smell? ( To his sister: ) Is that you?

Ruffnut shoved Tuffnut in response.

Astrid: It's Yaknog!

Astrid then pours a mug of the beverage called "yaknog" and Tuffnut stares at it in disgust while Frida looks at it in interest.

Tuffnut: Ugh! If I drink that I'm gonna yak nog all over the place!

Astrid: ( to Tuffnut, threateningly with a smile: ) Maybe you'd rather taste a punch in the face?

Snotlout: Astrid, it sounds delightful. I'd love a mug.

Snotlout grabs the mug and takes a large gulp of the beverage, he gags and forced himself to swallow it. He then hands it to Frida, who looks at the beverage curiously.

Snotlout: You could really taste the yak!

As Fishlegs came up to ask about the beverage, and Snotlout silently telling him not to drink it, Frida sniffs at the drink before taking a drink. She purred happily in response before she drunk the rest of the beverage from the mug, the twins looking at her in pure shock that the lycanwing child liked the Yaknog.

Fishlegs: ( to Astrid: ) Oh, you know, um, I have suddenly and, uh, inexplicably changed my mind.

Astrid: Well, you don't know what you're missing.

Frida: ( with a smile as she gave Astrid the mug back: ) Yeah, it's pretty good. I think Hiccup will like it.

Astrid: Thank you, Frida. I bet he will.

Astrid then took off to find Hiccup. Frida and the others then noticed Snotlout's discomfort as he was holding his stomach.

Ruffnut: Are you crying?

Frida: ( calmly, to Snotlout: ) If you feel like you are going to puke, go find the nearest bush and do it behind that then sit down afterwards.

Snotlout nods his head before walking off to find the nearest bush like Frida said.

Frida: ( sighs ) This is probably going to be the worst time to turn 13... ( Fishlegs and the twins looked at her in shock ) I was really hoping both my dragon and viking families would be here...

Fishlegs: Wait, wait. Repeat that, Frida, you're turning 13?

Frida: Yeah, on Snoggletog, when the moon rises to the middle of the night sky, I will be officially turning 13 whole-season-cycles old. ( Notices the pure shock looks on Fishlegs and the twins' faces ) What?
