New Life Ahead [HTTYD]

Chapter 8: Motherly Check-Up

"...A human!"

"Very healthy by the looks of it..."

"Momma! That no human! It dragon!"

"Little one, it is human, just not anymore. I'll tell you when you're older."

"Why wasn't his mind erased?"

Hiccup awoke, groaning in pain as his head throbbed. His ears rang and he began to get a huge headache due to the voices that were overlapping one another. He stood groggily to his feet, shaking his head to clear fuzziness in his eyes.

"He's waking up!"

"What do we do?"

"Yaaay! He's awake momma!"

"Little one! Come back!"

The human looked up, dazed as he saw a small black blur heading towards him. As his eyes began to gain focus, he looked down at a pair of blue eyes, wide with excitement and curiosity.

"Hello!" A young, happy hitch-pitched voice said.

Hiccup was about to respond, when he finally noticed WHAT was actually talking to him...

A baby Night Fury.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" Hiccup screamed.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" The hatchling squealed.

"AAAAAAAAAHHH!"

AAAAAAAAAAHHH!"

"Aaaaaaaaaahhh..."

Aaaaaaaaaahhh..."

"Aaaauuuuuuuu..."

"Uuuuuuhhhhh..."

The dragons watched as the human and baby Fury began to awkwardly scream at one another until eventually, both of them came to a complete stop. They stared at one another for a long time, waiting for the other to do something.

Then...the hatchling giggled.

Hiccup let out a chuckle.

The hatchling laughed.

Hiccup laughed.

The dragons stared in confusion as both the human and hatchling rolled around on the ground laughing at one another, amused at their own actions. The baby's mother, who had been anxiously holding her breath, let out a sigh of relief before walking over to surround her baby in her tail. The hatchling took no notice, staring at Hiccup as if he was a new toy to play with.

"You funny! Me like you!" said the hatchling. His mother began to gently lick him, cleaning him of ash and dirt he had covered himself in when rolling around on the ground.

Hiccup, who had just calmed down, perked his ears up in surprise and stared at the hatchling, realizing that the words 'I like you' had been directed towards him (Despite the fact that the kid said 'me' rather than 'I').
