No one's P.O.V:
It was still night. The sunrise should be in two hour or so. But that doesn't stop our favorite Prince and Alpha from hanging out in the Killing ring.

Toothless is laying on the ground and Hiccup is leaning against him trying to draw the cover from his memory.

"So Hiccup, you ready for the fight?" Toothless asked trying to break the silence.

"You bet I am, bud! After all, I did have the best teacher in the Archipelago."

"And who might that be?" Toothless asked raising his head in pride, expecting Hiccup to say him.

"Why Heather of course." Hiccup joked but Toothless got really annoyed that he slapped Hiccup's bare head with his tail.

The reason why Hiccup isn't warring his helmet is because Stoic told him no helmets allowed. So to keep his identity secret, he wore a clock with a hood he had in his saddle bag made of Toothless shedded scales.

When Toothless shedded his scales the first time, Hiccup tried disposing of them by burning them, only to find out that they were fire proof. He then tried crushing them with a hammer, but the hammer ended up broken. So Hiccup -beings the crazy inventor he is- mad use of them by threading them into a piece of fabric, then painted them with a thin layer of Cronkel iron to act as some sort of armor.

It's a black clock that shines a faint silver in the right light. (Silver: ehem.) With a hood and a little cloth that acts as a mask.

Toothless' P.O.V:
"But seriously, though, you think you can beat him?" I asked worried for my rider. If anything happens to Hiccup, I will never forgive myself.

"I know I can, bud, but I hate to battle my own father, though." Even after all what he went through, he still cares for his father.

"You don't have to."

"But I do! If I don't win this, he'll kill you! You're my best friend, Toothless! I'm not letting some Viking kill you!" I knew about Hiccup's temper issues. Ever since Hiccup got officially crowned as The Dragon Prince and gained his inner flame, he became easily provoked.

True he can control his inner flame physically but he still got some problems in controlling it emotionally. He really needs to see a doctor.

He may not be as easily ticked of as he was in the past -which is an improvement to say the least- but he still throw some fits every now and then.

Trying to calm him down, I put my forehead against his, wich is really effective.

"You're my best friend too, Hiccup. I know I would've done the same if it was me in you're shoes.. Erm.. Shoe." We both laughed at that last comment. You gotta admit, it's really hilarious.

The peaceful moment was short lived because of Hiccup's dad. Anyone wants a roasted Stoic for dinner tonight? Cause I'm sure in the mood for one.

Hiccup's P.O.V:
Our little bonding moment was interrupted by my dad, who just entered the ring. And by the look of surprise and shock written all over his face, I could tell that he wasn't expecting us here, now. Especially that it's not sunrise yet.

"Night Fang."

"Stoic."

"What are you wearing?"

"My hood?"

"I said no masks!" oh. That's why he asked me not to bring my helmet: to know who I am.

"You said no helmets. I didn't bring my helmet so I don't know what your problem is."

"What are you doing here?" He said in a deadly calm voice. If that's the calm before the storm, dad, then I'm really looking forward to see what the storm looks like.

"I should be asking you the same thing."

"I asked you first!"

"We're waiting for the sunrise. You?"

"I came here to train. How long have you been here?"

"About an hour or so." A look of genuine surprise dominated his face.

"You didn't have any sleep!"

"I did sleep, but you've gotta be an early bird if you're living with a morning flight loving Night Furry." I said pointing at Toothless, to which he responded to with a low growl. He's mad because we didn't fly today because the Vikings broke his prosthetic tail fin.

"Well I need to train."

"Go ahead, we'll get out of your way." I whistle to Toothless to stand, which he did, and we went out of the ring.

Once we were out we climbed a mountain and sat on the cliff over-seeing the ring. I don't need enhanced dragon hearing to hear Stoic's battle cries and the destruction of the targets.

Knowing that I don't need to train, and I'll beat him even if he trained for three days non stop, I laid down against Toothless to take a quick nap.

Time skip till sunrise:
"Rise and shine, sleepy head, it's time to duel!" (Moon: 10 bucks to who can guess the reference! Silver: Wait. There is a reference?) Toothless roars loudly in my ear.

"Will ya cut it out, you loud, over grown Salamander!" Seriously! And louder and my ears are going to bleed!

"Well there's no time! The duel is in five minutes!"

I turned my head to see that he's right. The sun is already rising. Well, it's time to get up and battle my dad. I'm soooooo looking forward for that. Not the sarcasm.

"You're right, bud. Let's go!" Then we jumped of the cliff.
~~~~~~
Moon: No comments this time.
Silver: That's rather unusual for you.
Moon: Don't rub it in.
Silver: Well, the next time it I'll be Stoic's and Hiccup's fight.
Both: SEE YA IN THE NEXT BLIZZARD!~
