HICCUP’S POV
***
“Toothless,” I catch my breath. “For a dog? You sure do run fast.” I sit on the wooden bench. Finally, after an hour of chasing him through mud and grass, uphill and down the road, into cabins and outside the mini-zoo, Toothless sits on my lap defeated. I hold in my hand a beautiful blue necklace.
"Toothless, you're one picky dog. Who taught you about jewelry? This necklace is beautiful." I examine and Toothless sticks his tongue out. "But how in the world are we s'pose to return this to that girl? Arrggg...Toothless you sly thief." I pat his head and he just licks me.
Then again –
“Toothless! Did you just drool all over my new pants?! Oh c’mon Toothless!” I moan as Toothless just lets his tongue out and barks at me happily. I look at him. Okay so maybe he isn’t totally defeated. But I am.
“Hey buddy, you better cut me some slack, okay? Since I’ve got less than two legs than you, I can’t run as fast as you do. So no more running around without your leash, deal?” I raise his white leash but Toothless just growls and barks at it.
“Woah! Pipe it down Toothless!” I try to calm him but he keeps on barking. All around people are looking at us. The kids giggle as I struggle to quiet Toothless who seems to enjoy the attention he’s gaining. Typical of Toothless. I decide to give in to his demands and hide the leash.
“There, it’s gone. Happy?” I ask him to which he gives one bark and wags his tail. I smile.
“You really know how to get to me, don’t you?” He tilts his head to the side and I just laugh. “Oh come here buddy.” I open my arms as Toothless jumps at me and he licks me. Suddenly, a ball thwacks itself on the tree beside our bench and we both look at it.
“Mikee! Get the ball!” A voice calls out.
“Okay Phil. I got – oh no!” A little voice squeaks and I look at where the voice comes from. I see a little girl wearing a pink dress with brown eyes. She’s biting her hands and keeps on looking at the ball and at Toothless. Then I look at Toothless. He’s looking intently at the ball.
“You wanna play bud?” I ask and he looks at me as if to say - isn’t it that obvious already? I shrug my shoulders and grab the ball. I hear ‘Mikee’ gasp and I smile at her.
“Hey there. Ugh...here’s your ball.” I extend my hand and she nervously draws near. Soon, she’s infront of us and she grabs the ball. However, she just looks at Toothless sheepishly.
“Don’t worry.” I speak and she looks at me with her huge blue eyes. “He doesn’t bite. Don’t you Toothless?” Toothless immediately barks and wags his tail.
“You...you sure?” Mikee asks with her really small voice. And I look at Toothless who looks at me.
“Yeah. Does this little guy look like he’s someone who’ll bite you?” I scrunch up Toothless face and try to make him grin to which Mikee giggles.
“No. He looks…sweet.”
“Sweet? More like droolly.” I kid and Toothless barks. “Joking bud. So why don’t I formally introduce you guys to each other?” Toothless yaps in agreement and Mikee beams.
“Okay.” Mikee agrees as I stand up and straighten myself.
“Alrightee then. Little lady, pleased to meet you. My name is Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third.” I begin and Mikee’s mouth is open. Happens all the time.
