Chapter 8: In The Park

Gobber entered his workshop. It was somewhere near the nine in the morning and it was already time to open. Today would come the person that brought green Pitts Special two days ago, and the plane needed to be ready till his visit.

The mechanic went to the plane and looked at it. Well, it was almost ready. He just needed to change the wires and then clean the aircraft. He went to the rack to pick spare wires and a cloth when he noticed the auburn-haired person sleeping on the desk. On his cheek was dirt and he was holding a cloth that was dirty from cleaning the airframe.

"Ah, laddie," said Gobber shaking his head and smiling.

He turned his head to the right and saw the airframe. It was clean as new! And Gobber would be lying if he said that the airframe wasn't shining. The two-limbed mechanic smiled proudly. He quietly took what he needed and left, not wanting to wake his apprentice.

oOo

Hiccup was sleeping when he heard a familiar melody. It wasn't the melody that he was hearing every morning, but still, it was very familiar. After a few seconds, he understood that his phone was ringing. He picked the call, not watching who it was.

"Hello?" he said his voice raspy. Who would call him this early in the morning on Saturday?

"Good morning, Hiccup."

Hiccup recognized the voice, but he couldn't understand who it was.

"Who is it?" he asked still not recognizing who it was. The voice was so familiar!

"It's Fishlegs!"

"Oh. Hey, Fish," Hiccup greeted his friend rubbing his eyes and leaning back on the chair. Well, now he was a bit ashamed that he hadn't recognized the voice of his best friend.

"I'm taking Meatlug to a morning walk in the park and I thought maybe you and Toothless would want to join."

"Um, yes. Yes, of course. We'll be there from a half hour," answered Hiccup and stood up. He was always taking Toothless to morning walks on weekdays and sometimes Fishlegs and Meatlug were joining them.

He looked at his surroundings. He was in Gobber's workshop. Hiccup recalled yesterday's events. He had cleaned the airframe, then sat on the chair near the desk to get some rest, and because he had been exhausted he had fallen asleep on the desk.

Hiccup was sure that Toothless would be happy to ... wait a minute... TOOTHLESS! If he had been fallen asleep on the desk, that meant Toothless was all by himself yesterday! Alone! All day! Hiccup quickly took his backpack and keys and went to his car.

When he was already leaving the workshop Gobber said.

"Ah, I see ye've woken up. How-"

"I'm sorry, Gobber. I need to go," Hiccup cut off Gobber and got into his car, leaving mechanic confused where he was rushing like that.

He began driving towards his home. He knew that Toothless wouldn't be hungry. He was always filling his bowl with extra food, knowing that maybe he would be at home late. He was worried that black dog, might try to leave the house and search for him. He was never absent for the whole night.

After three minutes, the car was already standing in front of the house. Hiccup quickly got out and went towards the door. When he entered someone jumped on him and he fell on the floor. The air in his lungs was knocked out.
