Hiccup And The Gang Short Stories

New Look

​"Right I'm glad you're here son, it's time to start training." Stoick said

"But dad I promised the others I'd go flying with them!"

"Today I was thinking I would get you to learn how to peacefully handily delicate situations."

"Are you even listening to me?"

"Now to start with, you're going to watch me sort out a few problems then I'll get you to do some yourself."

"Yes, of course not. You know this conversation is feeling very familiar."

"Hiccup."

"Yes dad?"

"You don't have time to go galavanting off with your friends. This is very serious, you're the next in line to be chief, you need to be prepared." Hiccup stared, open mouthed at his dad.

"You can go later."

Hiccup sighed in frustration "I can't go later I'm teaching at the academy"

"Then go after that."

"I can't, you're teaching me again." Hiccup sighed and ran his hand through his hair "look dad," he said "I know that this is important but I've hardly had a break in a two years." Stoick waved him off "don't be over dramatic Hiccup."

"Over dramatic!" He shouted "dad ever since I defeated the red death all I've ever done is constantly be taught how to be chief, taught others how to train and ride dragons and defended Berk from enemies and rogue dragons! I need a break!" Stoick stared down at his son, a look of shock on his face.

Suddenly, as Hiccup stood tall a glare on his face, Stoicks look of shock turned to one of kindness and understanding.

"Fine" he sighed "you got your wish. You can have the rest of the week off." At this Hiccup's look of happiness disappeared in an instant.

"Ah dad, um, you know I was wondering, well..." He trailed off, staring at his foot and fiddling with his sleeves.

"What is it Hiccup?"

"Well you see I kind of wanted to go travelling, just me and Toothless, and explore."

He stopped and looked up at his dad expectantly. Stoick stared down at his son "How long were you thinking?" He asked suspiciously

"A- a few months."

"A few months! Hiccup you're needed here!"

"I know dad but I can sort it out! Astrid can take over dragon training, and they can defend Berk in case something happens and I've already learnt lots from you!"

"Hiccup..."

"Think of it as good experience!"

Stoick sighed, running a hand across his face "fine but I want you back in less than 12 months, got it?"

"Yes!" Hiccup grinned "got it!" He turned to run off.

"Where are you going?" Stoick called after him "To pack and tell the others."

Hiccup shouted back. Stoick watched his son go, a smile on his face 'some things never change.'

Half an hour later

Hiccup was packed and ready to go. All he needed to do now was go tell the others. He winced slightly, that was going to go down well.

Eventually, he managed to track them all down to the great hall. 'Well here goes nothing' he thought as he walked over to the table near the back of the hall where the group was. Astrid was the first to spot him
