More Than Just A Bonny Face (Rewriting)

Bonding

The Bewilderbeast hovers over the sea. A group of Seashockers herd a group of fish together then the Bewilderbeast goes underwater. I hold my breath and the Bewilderbeast gathers the fish in his mouth. He jumps out of the water and he spits the fish into the air for the dragons to eat. Mum laughs and I catch a fish. Toothless swoops down, catching many of the fish as the dragons feast mid-air.

"You need a name." I stroke the Bewilderbeast. He blows out some snow. "How about... Biast?" He growls. "Okay, so Biast is a no. Hunter? Chase? Sidon? Chasen? Theron? Odin? Woodman? Holter? Rigel? Roden? Tapio?" I groan and I lie down on his head. "Hmm.... how about Griffin?" The Bewilderbeast blows some snow. I smile and Hiccup flies to me on Toothless.

"Having fun?" He smirks.

"This beast is amazing. I've named him Griffin and he likes the name." I sit up.

"Want to join us?" Mum asks me.

"I'm good here with Griffin." I pat Griffin on the head.

"Let's go show Mum our map." Hiccup offers me his hand but I turn to Gold-Heart. Mum helps me get on her back and our dragons land on snowy land.

Hiccup pulls out our map. "This has been our dream ever since we were little kids."

"The other day, Hiccup and Toothless discovered a new patch of land and Toothless named it Itchy Armpit." I point at the new patch land.

"And from Dragon Island, we found this archipelago..." Hiccup pauses to watch Mum draw a map of the world in the snow. Toothless draw over it with an icicle, then it sticks to his tongue.

"Hold on." I laugh and I grab the icicle. Toothless pulls away and he yelps as his tongue parts from the icicle. I use the icicle to draw Ainslie and Payden.

Hiccup looks at it. "Wow, that's amazing."

Mum also looks at it. "What's this?"

"My twin children, Ainslie and Payden." I drop the icicle.

"I have something you two will enjoy." Mum strokes Toothless and Venom and she jumps onto Cloudjumper. Me and Hiccup jump onto our dragons and Mother takes us to an updraft. Other dragons join us and Mum dances from one dragon to another. She jumps off Toothless and Cloudjumper catches her. "When I'm up here, I don't even feel the cold. I just feel-"

"Free." Hiccup and I look at her and we all smile at each other.

Mum opens her arms. "This is what it is to be a dragon, children!"

"It's all well and good to call yourself a dragon. But can you fly?" Hiccup asks her.

"Odin's sake." I groan. Hiccup jumps off Toothless and he starts gliding through the air with his flying suit. Cloudjumper glares at Toothless so Toothless flies down to Hiccup and he glides with him. Venom nods at them so I allow us to fly down to them. A small mountain appears in front of Hiccup.

"Oh no. Toothless! Beth!" Hiccup shouts. Toothless wraps himself around Toothless and they crash into the snow. Venom isn't great at landings. I try to jump off him but Venom grabs me with his leg as I jump and wraps himself around me. He rolls down the snowy hill with me on the inside. Venom opens up his wings and Toothless does the same. They panic since me and Hiccup aren't there. We appear from underneath the snow and we throw our hands into the air.

"Man! Almost! We just about had it that time!" Hiccup gives me a high-five.

"That was awesome!" I cheer. Toothless sneezes and glare at us. He knocks our feet out from under us with a swipe of his tail. Hiccup stands up and he helps me.

Mum starts examining Hiccup's flight suit. "Incredible."

"Well, not bad yourself." Hiccup laughs. Saphira, Gold-Heart and Smaug land next to Venom.

Mum holds his cheek then recoils before holding it again. She brings me forward and she does the same to me. "All this time, you took after me. And where was I? I'm so sorry, children." She places a hand on our shoulders. "Can we start over? Will you give me another chance? I can teach you all that I've learned, these past twenty years. Like..." She massages Toothless which causes him to reveal his hidden splitting fins. "Now you can make those tight turns." I smile as Toothless starts jumping around with a grin on his face. She does the same to Gold-Heart. Goldie proudly shows them to Venom, Saphira and Smaug.

"Did you know about this?" Hiccup asks Toothless.

"Every dragon has its secrets. And I'll show them all to you. We'll unlock every mystery, find every last species, together, as mother and children." Mother strokes the back of our heads and us three watch Toothless, excited by the discovery, jump around and then burrows through the snow, before popping out next to Cloudjumper and putting snow on his head. Mum laughs at him and Cloudjumper then dumps the snow right back onto Toothless. Hiccup and I laugh. Toothless shakes off the snow and shows off his tail fins to Cloudjumper, who is unimpressed. Saphira sniffs his tail and looks at Mum with a whimper.

"I think Saphie wants you to show her a secret, Mum." I smile. Mum walks over to her and she runs her nail from the top of Saphira's head to her neck. Sharp spikes appear from her tail.

"Saphira can protect you more now." Mum strokes her. Saphira pounces on me and she excitedly shows me her tail. I watch Mum walk over to Venom and Smaug. For Smaug, she presses down on the middle of his forehead and more teeth grow inside his mouth. For Venom, she presses down on his cheek and his wing span grows.

"That is pretty cool." I hold my hand out and Hiccup pulls me to my feet. Saphira shows her tail to Toothless.

"This gift we share, children... it bonds us." Mum places her hands on our shoulders. "This is who you are, kids. Who we are. We will change the world for all dragons! We will make it a better, safer place!"

"That sounds..." Hiccup smiles and looks at me.

"Incredible." I squee.

"Amazing." Hiccup looks at Mum and she hugs us. We hug her back then Hiccup pulls away from the hug. "This is so great! Now us three can go talk to Drago- together."

"What? There's no talking to Drago." Mum looks at Cloudjumper who stands behind her.

"But we have to-" Hiccup argues.

"No. We must protect our own." Mum hugs Cloudjumper. "Now come on, we should be getting back." Hiccup and I look at our dragons who grin and show us their secrets.
