Hiccup POV

"Keep your eyes peeled gang!" I said.

The Hoffersons are away for the whole day so we decided to come back to the clearing and look for any clues. Unfortunately we're not really sure of what exactly we're searching for.

We walked around the clearing several times but found nothing out of the ordinary.

"This is pointless!" Snotlout shouted throwing his hands in the air. "We're never going to go back home. And it's your fault Hiccup! You're one of the dumbest smart people I know and you led us right into another dimension! It's all your and the stupid boulders fault!"

He started kicking the rocks and cursing them. I don't know if he is noticing but he is harming himself more than he is harming the boulder. Probably not.

"Well it's official," Tuff said with his hands on his hips.

"He's lost it!" Ruff finished his sentence.

I sat down on the floor and buried my head in my hands. There has to be some kind of sign of how we can go back.

"What words did you actually say when you activated the portal, Hiccup?" Fishlegs asked.

"I can't remember," I grumbled. "And the words aren't engraved on these boulders here."

"Stupid, stupid rock!" Snotlout yelled. "You're the reason we're actually here in the first place! I bet everybody at home is worried sick about me. Especially Heather! We were practically marriiiieeedd!"

Snotlout sagged to his knees and started crying and wailing. Oh boy.

"There, there, Snotlout, I'm sure you'll find another damsel in this miserable world, who really doesn't want to be with you but you're in the illusion that she is in love with you," Ruff said dramatically and patted his shoulder.

"If I had a beard I would let you cry in it's full, thickness of glory," Tuff said. "Wait, that's not such a bad idea-"

"Wait, wait, Snotlout what did you just say?" I said abruptly.

"How could I not make it any clearer?" Snot sniffed and started wailing again. "I'm never going to see my Heather ever agaaaiiinnn!"

"No, no before that," I said impatiently. "Something about the boulder."

"It's all it's fault," Snotlout said darkly and glared at it.

"You're a genius Snotlout!" I said and jumped up and ran to the two rocks.

"I am?" Snotlout asked visibly confused.

"The boulder brought us to this world right?" I tried explaining.

"So it has to somehow bring us back!" Fishlegs said, understanding.

"Exactly," I said and examined the boulders carefully.

"Aha," Ruff grunted.

"How are rocks supposed to bring us back?" Tuff said and kicked the big rock.

"I don't know, this all just happened to me for the first time too," I snapped.

Well there is nothing on the friggin rock so let's not waste our time any more," Snotlout huffed.

"Maybe there is something written on the bottom side of the rock?" Fishlegs suggested.

"Hmm, some of the rock is buried in the soil. We'll all have to get it out together since it's huge," I said.

Everybody gathered around the boulder and we all pulled and pushed with all our strength.
But it wouldn't budge.

"Hey, would you mind giving us a hand?" I asked the dragons who were meanwhile playing with each other at the other side of the clearing.
