Home- Next Morning
Zephyr paces back and forth across the room.
ZEPHYR: Should I tell him? Well, yes, it might be dangerous for the dragon.
Zephyr walks over to her chest and opens it.
ZEPHYR: But dad said dragons don't leave the Hidden World, so why would it be here?
Zephyr slips on her arm cuffs. She closes the chest and stands up.
ZEPHYR: Maybe it's hurt? Or maybe it got lost?
Zephyr sighs.
ZEPHYR: I should just tell him—
Hiccup opens the door, startling Zephyr.
GALE: Oh! Hi dad!
HICCUP: Who are you talking to?
ZEPHYR: Uhhhh.... no one! I mean, myself... sort of.
HICCUP: Okay.... Are you ready to go?
ZEPHYR: Almost, I have my arm daggers, my emergency dagger, my pocket knife, and...
Zephyr frantically feels her clothes.
ZEPHYR: I can't find my sword!
HICCUP: Don't you have one in your boot?
Zephyr runs to her chest and opens it.
ZEPHYR: That's my emergency dagger.
HICCUP: Zeph, how many weapons do you need?
Zephyr rummages through her chest.
ZEPHYR: On a normal day, only 2. But on an adventure like this, usually 4.
HICCUP: This isn't an adventure—
ZEPHYR: Dad!
HICCUP: Okay! Okay! Where did you last see it?
ZEPHYR: I used it....
Zephyr pulls out the skirt she wore yesterday. It's covered in leaves and dirt.
ZEPHYR: Oh.
HICCUP: What?
ZEPHYR: I must have left it in the forest.
HICCUP: The forest?!!!! When did you go to the forest?
ZEPHYR: Yesterday....
HICCUP: All alone? Without telling anyone?
ZEPHYR: Dad! (annoyed) I'm old enough to go to the forest by myself!
HICCUP: Okay! Okay! But next time, maybe tell one of us first okay?
ZEPHYR: I guess so.
HICCUP: Why don't we go look for your sword together?
ZEPHYR: Oh! No no no no no!
HICCUP: Why not?
ZEPHYR: Well... it's just that... I...
Zephyr is about to tell Hiccup about the dragon but doesn't.
ZEPHYR: Uhhhh... I just don't want you to waste your time looking for it. You know, it was kind of old and I can always make a new one....
HICCUP: Okay.... Then I guess I'll go get you a spare sword for now.
Hiccup turns and leaves.
ZEPHYR: Thanks dad!
The door closes.
ZEPHYR: Ugh! Just tell him Zephyr! Just tell him!
