Third POV
Early in the morning, Hiccup was on his way to the forge, while a dragon raid was going on. He walked into the forge with Gobber saying, "Oh, nice of you to join the party. I thought you'd be carried off." "What? Who me? No, I'm way too muscular for their taste. They wouldn't know what to do with all this," Hiccup replied gesturing to himself. "Well, they need toothpicks, don't they?" Gobber commented. Hiccup started to sharpen and fix other weapons. He thought of what it would be like to kill a dragon and to be popular. He looked at the other teenagers putting out fires and thought of how cool their job was. Hiccup leaned out the window but was snatched back in by Gobber.
"Oh come on, let me out, please. I need to make my mark," Hiccup said. "Oh, you've made plenty of marks. All in the wrong places." Gobber replied. "Please. Two minutes. I'll kill a dragon, my life will get infinitely better. I might even get a date," Hiccup said and then Gobber proceeded to list reasons why Hiccup isn't allowed, "You can't lift a hammer, you can't swing an ax, you can't even throw one of these," Gobber gestured to a bola, that another Viking threw and hit a Gronckle with. "Ok fine, but this will throw it for me," Hiccup said while patting a contraption. The trigger went off and it threw a hammer at someone, successfully knocking them out. "You see. Now, this right here is what I'm talking about," Gobber said. "That's just a mild calibration," Hiccup stuttered. "Hiccup, if you ever want to get out there and fight dragons you need to stop all... this," Gobber said gesturing to all of Hiccup. "But you just gestured to all of me," Hiccup said while looking down at himself. "Yes, that's it. Stop being all of you," Gobber stated and Hiccup responded, "Ohh," with a raised eyebrow and Gobber copied. "You sir are playing a dangerous game. Keeping this much raw vikingness, contained. There will be consequences!" Hiccup yelled while standing on his toes to be taller. "I'll take my chances. Sword sharpened now," Gobber said in a monotone voice while handing Hiccup a heavy sword. Hiccup knew that killing a dragon was the only way to be popular. Some dragons are worth more than others, but the best prize is the Night Fury.
He then heard someone yell, "Night Fury!" "Get down!" Everyone took cover. The Night Fury blasted a tower. Hiccup looked at the sky trying to see a glimpse of the unholy offspring of lightning and death itself. Gobber then put on his hammer hand and said, "Man the fort, Hiccup. They need me out there." Then Gobber turned to Hiccup and said, "Stay. Put. There. You know what I mean." Gobber then screamed a Viking scream and ran out to join the fight. Hiccup immediately took the chance. He ran outside with his contraption, "I'll be right back!" He then went to the edge of the cliff and prepared his contraption. "Give me something to shoot at. Give me something to shoot at," Hiccup whispered to himself while looking up at the black sky. He saw the Night Fury, he aimed and shot the bola. The dragon screamed, but not a dragon scream, a girl scream. Hiccup didn't seem to notice that the scream was not a dragon roar, for his excitement was over the top. "Oh, I hit it. Yes, I hit it! Did anybody see that?" Hiccup celebrated. Then he saw a Monstrous Nightmare that was right behind him. "Except for you," he said to it. The Monstrous Nightmare chased Hiccup through the village.
The dragon fired at a tower that Hiccup was hiding behind. Stoick the Vast wrestled with the dragon before it flew away. "Sorry, Dad," Hiccup said to his father, Stoick, as a tower fell. "Okay but I hit a Night Fury," Hiccup said and was then grabbed by his shirt. "Woah. It's not like the last few times, Dad. I mean I really actually hit it. You guys were busy and I had a very clear shot. It went down, just off of Raven point. Let's get a search party out there before—" "Stop! Just stop. Every time you step outside disaster falls. Can you not see that I have bigger problems. Winter is almost here and I have an entire village to feed!" Stoick, Hiccup's dad, said. Hiccup looked around, "Well between you and me the village could do with a little less feeding. Don't you think?" Hiccup asked and Vikings around them looked down at their stomachs. "This isn't a joke, Hiccup. Ugh, why can't you follow the simplest orders?" Stoick asked Hiccup who defended himself, "I can't stop myself, I see a dragon and I have to just, kill it you know. It's who I am dad." "Ugh you are many things Hiccup, but a dragon killer is not one of them. Get back to the house," Stoick said to Hiccup. "Gobber! Make sure he gets there. I have his mess to clean up," Stoick said to Gobber.
Gobber smacked Hiccup in the head. The teens were laughing at him as he and Gobber walked by. "Quite the performance," Tuffnut said to Hiccup. "I've never seen anyone mess up that badly. That helped," Snotlout commented. "Thank you. Thank you. I was trying so," Hiccup said in a discouraged voice. Gobber pushed Snotlout away. As they arrived at Hiccup's house Hiccup began to complain. "I really did hit one," Hiccup said. "Surely," Gobber commented. "He never listens," Hiccup added. "Oh, well it runs in the family," Gobber stated. "And when he does it's always with this disappointed scowl like someone skimped all the meat from his sandwich," Hiccup explained. Then he began to mimic his father when he got to his front door. "Excuse me, Barmaid. I'm afraid you brought me the wrong offspring. I ordered an extra-large boy with beefy arms. Extra guts and glory on the side. This here. This is a talking fishbone," Hiccup said in a voice that imitated his father. "Now now. You're thinking about this all wrong. It's not so much what you look like. It's what's inside that he can't stand," Gobber explained and Hiccup looked at Gobber in a 'are you serious face.' "Thank you for summing that up," Hiccup said in a sarcastic tone. "Look, the point is. Stop trying so hard to be something you're not," Gobber said and Hiccup pushed the front door open. "I just want to be one of you guys," Hiccup said while walking through the door, shut it, ran to the back of the house, out the door and ran to the woods.
Stoick decided that he wanted to find the dragon's nest before winter. Most of the village is going with Stoick to try and find the dragon's nest before the ice sets in. Gobber is going to train the teens and Hiccup.-------------------------------------------------------
