I growled as Hiccup tried to put a saddle on me.

Hiccup: Come on MetalFoot, just let me put the saddle on. Fishlegs can you get some dragon nip please?

Fishlegs nodded and walked over to this barrel with a lot of this green spikey grass in it, which I presume is Dragon Nip. Fishlegs got a handful and gave it to Hiccup, Hiccup put the Dragon Nip to my face.

Hiccup: Here try this.

I smelled it, it was not very good, It made me a bit confused. I growled and roared, Hiccup quickly threw the Dragon Nip away.

Hiccup: Ok, so obviously you don't like Dragon Nip.

I growled, but then calmed down. Hiccup then went over to Fishlegs and talked about what to do.

Hiccup: Well what are we to do, if he won't let me ride him, how am I to get to Stone Tooth Mountain?

Fishlegs: Hmm, We could try to calm him by letting him get use to his environment.

Hiccup: That might work, but that will take to long we need to come up with something that won't take 3 months to do, something that can take a few weeks at most.

Fishlegs scratched his chin: What if we tried to see what will work for him.

Hiccup: Good Idea!

Hiccup came over to me and kneeled down a little: MetalFoot, I know you still care for Viggo, but if you won't let me ride you I can understand. But please MetalFoot, is there any way for me to ride you to Stone Tooth Mountain and back?

I tapped my talons, then I growled softly. Do I really miss Viggo still? After all he has done to me? ...I do indeed but why? Why do I still miss and care for the one who betrayed me?...I care for him because he is my rider....but he is not my rider at the same time....I will trust the enemy, Hiccup shows he means no harm, but does he really mean it? Is he just using me to get back at Viggo? Or does he speak the truth of trying to help me? ....I guess the only way to find out is to go along with the Riders plan.

I growled softly again and looked at the rider. I looked into his eyes and he put his hand to my nose. The passionate touch of the rider was unimaginable he showed trust and honesty, unlike Viggo who just patted my back and left me with no reward. Hiccup put a saddle on my back, quite uncomfortable at first but then it just felt like a part of my body. Hiccup straddled me and said.

Hiccup: See not so bad, you can trust me.

I growled softly, I spread my wings getting ready to take off.

Snoutlout: Why does Hiccup always get to have the rare dragons!?

Hiccup: I don't purposely try to get the rare dragons, Snoutlout, it just so happens that when I do train a dragon it is rare.

Snoutlout: Whatever! It's a dumb dragon anyway!

Snoutlout is about to leave when I growl and shake Hiccup off, and lunge for Snoutlout. The red dragon just sits there, all the sudden I hear.

Astrid: Stormfly Spine Shot!

Spikes fly in front of me and I stop dead in my tracks.  I growl and hiss.

Snoutlout pants from shock and is stuck looking at me.

Astrid: Snoutlout be careful what you say around new dragons!

Snoutlout nodded wildly and flew away with the red dragon, I huffed a sigh and growled. Hiccup was standing behind me.

Hiccup: Come on MetalFoot, let's get to Stone Mountain as soon as possible.
