RAFAYELA: So I have decided to change the seating arrangement.

STOICK: Why?

RAFAYELA: We are a quarter of the way through the movie a change in perception would be a nice change. So everyone stand up and move to the middle of the room near the barrier.

Everyone stands and prepares for the move. Rafayela walks around looking at the designated seats now. A purple light encompasses the seats.

The seats don't seem to have physically changed but there are four new chairs near the barrier with the names Gobber, Fishlegs, Astrid, and a blank sign on them. Everyone moves to their seats. Stoick sitting near his brother and the teens not including Astrid, and Fishlegs. The younger kids sitting in front of the Theater. While everyone else is sitting behind their chief as if following him into battle. The elder being the only one not having a seat.

RAFAYELA: Gothi you may sit wherever you like you have been rather patient and are a wise woman.

Gothi looks to Rafayela in surprise at the compliments. She looks around and decides to sit in the fourth chair near Gobber since he is one of the few she can communicate with.

RAFAYELA: Ok. That's it then let's continue.

Rafayela heads to the middle of the barrier and a chair appears she sits in the chair half sitting half laying. Then she sighs. And the movie starts up again.

EXT. WOODS/HIDDEN COVE - DUSK

HICCUP, battered after another disastrous day in the ring. He studies the remnants of the discarded bola... revealing that he's back at the scene of the crime.

HICCUP: (MUTTERED)So...why didn't you?

He drops the bola and presses on in the direction it flew off. He drops into a rocky crevice and follows it to an... ISOLATED COVE complete with a pristine spring pool. He scans the high stone walls... then notices a single black SCALE on the ground. He crouches and picks it up, studying it.

HICCUP: (CONT'D) Well this was stupid.

SNOTLOUT: Of course it was. It's your idea.

SUDDENLY, the NIGHT FURY blasts past him.

Hiccup recoils, watching the massive beast struggle to climb the walls. It flaps violently, then peels away to a rough landing. The dragon is trapped. Hiccup grins, excited to see it again, and slips closer. He watches as the dragon, exhausted and frustrated, leaps into the air, beating its wings furiously. Again and again,it rolls uncontrolled and CRASHES heavily. As if remembering to snap a photo, Hiccup pulls a leather- bound book and flips past drawings of weapons to a blank page. He sketches the dragon quickly, desperate to record the image. The Fury claws at the steep rock walls, trying climb out of the cove.

It SLIPS and falls hard, crushing several saplings. The Fury rolls back to his feet and slowly crawls to the water's edge. He spots fish in the shallow water and snaps at them... but comes up empty. He lowers his head, looking weakened.

HICCUP: (CONT'D)(MUTTERED) Why don't you just...fly away?

GOBBER: Why doesn't it fly away?

ON HICCUP as he spots the problem. He adjusts his drawing, carefully erasing one half of the dragon's tail. He accidentally drops the charcoal stick. It rolls off of the rock outcropping that hides him from view and bounces into the cove. TINK. TINK. TINK. The Night Fury raises his head, spotting Hiccup. They exchange a profound, unflinching stare.
