Hiccup POV

"Gustav?! Seriously?!" I said, eyeing at Gustav who was picking his nose next to his dragon, Fanghook.

"I'm sorry Hiccup, everyone else was busy. Gustav was the only one of the A-team who had nothing else to do today," Fishlegs explained.

I glared at Fishlegs and then turned towards Gustav. "Ok Gustav, you listen to me and do as I say. No stranding away from the group, behave and, please, don't pick your nose in front Queen Mala!"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got it. You always tell me like a hundred times!" Gustav said crossing his arms.

"Okaaaay," I said. "Where are Snotlout and the twins?"

I looked around and suddenly saw two shapes running towards us in the distance.

As they came closer I saw that it was Ruff and Tuff. And Snotlout is chasing them! What the...

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" Tuffnut screamed while sprinting down the hill. He tripped and tumbled the rest of the way down. The twins finally made it to us and came to a sudden stop.

"What did you two do?" I asked.

"It was an accident!" Ruff yelled to Snotlout who was charging towards them.

I stepped back.

"Aaahh, I'm gonna kill you guys!" Snotlout said and tackled Tuff to the ground.

"Toothleeeeess," I looked at Toothless and gave him a big grin. He waddled to the two muttonheads and dragged Snotlout away from Tuffnut by his collar.

"So what did you guys do?" I looked at Ruff and Tuff who was still on the floor.

"It really is simple," Ruff began.

"We found an axe just lying around," Tuff continued.

"And we were thinking, maybe we could also make it catch on fire like your sword Hiccup!"

"So we borrowed some Nightmare gel-"

"And smeared it on the axe-"

"And lit it!"

"And it worked!"

"That was a first."

"Yeah, normally something goes horribly wrong-"

"WHICH IT DID!" Snotlout interjected. "You idiots dropped gel on the floor and it caught on fire. And I happened to be near it!"

"Oh yeeeaaah! Hehehe. Well it nearly worked!" Tuffnut said shrugging his shoulders with a sly grin.

"Muttonheads!" Snotlout grumbled.

"Well done Ruff and Tuff!" I said with a grin.

"What!?" Snotlouts head snapped up to look at me.

"Huh?" The twins said in unison.

"Yeah. If the twins didn't make you angry and chased you, Snotlout, you guys would only be ready to leave in two hours!" I said, amused by Snotlouts reddening face.

"Yeah!" The twins shouted and butted their heads together.

"Right, let's saddle up gang!" I said, going back to business.

Everyone saddled up their dragons. I quickly jumped on Toothless and tested out his prosthetic tailfin. Everything seems to be alright.

"Is everyone ready?" I asked. A chorus of yes's and roars met my way.

I took off and steered Toothless towards the West.*I actually have no idea in which direction the island is sooo... yeah.*

The rest of the gang and Gustav followed behind me.
It was a pretty uneventful journey. Of course, it never is completely.
Fishlegs was chatting my ears off about different dragon species and I heard the odd explosion coming from behind me. I don't bother checking behind me anymore.
