*Fia's Pov.*
"I really hit one." Hiccup said as we headed to our house. "Sure, you did." Gobber said not believing him.
"He never listens." Hiccup said talking about dad. "It runs in the family." Gobber said shaking his head. "When he does, it's with a disappointed scowl, like someone skimped on meat in his sandwich." Hiccup said as he stepped up the stairs. "Excuse me, barmaid! I'm afraid you brought me the wrong offsprings! I ordered an extra large boy and girl with large beefy arms, extra guts and glory on the side. These here! These are talking fish bones." Hiccup stated with a bad impression of Dad.
"Now you're thinking about this all wrong. It's not so much what you look like. It's whats inside that he can't stand." Gobber said.
"Thank you for summoning that up." I said as i openned the door.
"Look the point is, stop trying to be something you're not." Gobber said making us look down.
"We just want to be one of you guys." Hiccup said as we walked inside. Once we noticed Gobber leave we headed for the back door, to find the Night Fury.

*3rd. Person*
*Meade Hall*
"Either we finish them or they'll finish us. It's the only way we'll be rid of them! If we find the nest and destory it, the dragons will leave. They'll find another home. One more search before the ice sets in." Stoick said to the villagers in the hall.
"Those ships never come back." One Berkian yelled.
"We're vikings. It's an occupational hazard. Now who's with me?" Stoick asked.
The Berkains chattered with one other, not wanting to go.
"Alright those who stay will look after Hiccup and Fia." Stoick said making the Berkains immediately raise their hands high into the air.
"That's more like it." Stoick said.
"I'll pack my undies." Gobber said as the Berkains exited the hall.
"No, I need you to stay and train some new recruits." Stoick said.
"Perfect. And while I'm busy, Hiccup and Fia can cover the stall. Molten steel, razor-sharp blades, lots of time to themselves. What could possibly go wrong?" Gobber asked about Hiccup and Fia being alone.
"What am I going to do woth them, Gobber?" Stoick asked.
"Put them in training with the others."  Gobber answered.
"No, I'm serious." Stoick said.
"So am I." Gobber said.
"They'll be killed before you let the first dragon out of its cage." Stoick said.
"You don't know that." Gobber said.
"I do, actually." Stoick said.
"No, you don't." Gobber said.
"Yes, I do." Stoick said.
"No, you don't." Gobber said.
"Listen, you know what they're like. From the time they could crawl, they've been....different. They didn't listen, Hiccup has the attentions span of a sparrow. I take them fishing and Hiccup goes hunting for trolls." Stoick said.

"Trolls exist. They steal your socks. But only the left ones. What's with that?" Gobber asked confused.
"When I was a boy...." Stoick started. "Here we go." Gobber said a little annoyed.
"....my father told me to bang my head against a rock and I did it. I thought it was crazy, but I didn't question him." Stoick finished.
"And you know what happened?" Stoick asked.
"You got a headache." Gobber answered.
"That rock split in two." Stoick answered.
"It taught me what a viking could do, Gobber. He could crash mountains, level forests, tame seas. Even as a boy, I knew what I was, what I had to become." Stoick said.
"You can't stop them, Stoick. You can only prepare them." Gobber said.
"I know it seema hopeless, but the truth is you won't always be around to protect them. They're going to get out there again. They're probably out there now." Gobber said leaving Stoick to think about it.
