Hiccup's POV

I woke up to Toothless breathing about 5 inches from my face.

"Gah Toothless ew." I said and fanned my hand over my nose, trying to get the smell of rotten fish away. "Yes we can go for a flight." I said. He jumped up and down, making the entire house shake.

"Hiccup you're going to wake Mercy up." Astrid said and rolled over.

"Hey it's Toothless not me." I accused.

"Just quiet down its early." She said.

I walked across the hallway to check on Mercy. I can't believe that in 1 month she's gonna be a year old. December 20th. Astrid and I call her our 'Snoggletog miracle' since she was born during the holiday. I smiled and closed her door quietly. I then went downstairs and exited my house.

"Alright ready bud?" I said and began to mount Toothless.

"Morning Hiccup!" I heard my mom shout at me from our house. Astrid and I live really close to my parents house, but far enough so we both have privacy.

"Morning mom!" I shouted back.

"By the way your father wants to see you!" She said.

"Alright I'm coming." I said and walked to their house. I opened the door and saw mom and dad sitting at the kitchen table. "Did I do something?" I asked. They both had serious faces so I thought I did something.

"Not this time Hiccup. But I'm sure you know what I want to talk to you about." Dad said and stood in front of me.

"Oh come on dad really?" I said.

"It's time Hiccup." He said.

"Dad how many times have I told you I'm not ready to be chief! My daughter isn't even a year old yet!" I raised my voice. "Can't it wait just a little bit longer?" I said and lowered my voice again.

"I've postponed this long enough. I've made my decision and you can't change my mind." He said and turned around to sit down. But by the time he turned back around, I was gone.

I flew with Toothless over the water. We went under and over a Thunderdrum wings. Then we went straight up into the sky, so high that all we could see was clouds. Above us and below us. I couldn't stop thinking about Dad and i's talk. He just doesn't understand I'm not ready for those responsibilities yet. Right now I'm more worried about my family. Toothless and I did twirls, flips and all sorts of dives.

"Alright bud let's give this another shot." I said. He grumbled. "It'll be fine." I pulled the lever that makes his tail go into automatic, and then, I slid to the right.

Toothless and I plummeted towards the ground or ocean, I wasn't quite sure until I saw blue. I then deployed my wings and back fin. Toothless and I glided through the air. I saw an island ahead of us. I adjusted my suit and landed on the ground, but lost my balance and quickly rolled down a small hill.

"Alright that's better then last time!" I shouted. I looked around and took out my map. I unfolded all of the pages and took out a new one. I pasted it onto the map and looked at the forest in front of me. "So what should we name it?" I looked over at Toothless who was itching his armpit. "Itchy armpit it is." I said and began drawing the mountains and trees. "Alright let's head back I'm sure Astrid is worried sick about where I am." I said and mounted Toothless.

We flew calmly all the way back to Berk. I enjoyed the time just to think. I knew dad was only doing this for his village but why won't he listen? I've told him so many times I'm not ready yet but he's forcing me into it. I let out a heavy sigh and looked forward. I saw the shadow of Berk. I decided to land behind my house so I could avoid contact with my dad. I opened the back door and snuck into the kitchen.
