"I can't believe Dagur's not going with Heather to Vanaheim." You all watched as Heather and Arrow left together to go see Oswald one last time.

"Heather wanted to say goodbye to her father alone." Hiccup said. 

"You know what I can't believe? If you flip a yak upside down, it can right itself almost immediately." Tuff said.

"Wha?" Snotlout asked.

"And, you know, also that we never noticed Heather had a Dragon Eye lens smack-dab in the middle of her belt!" 

"That one I admit is embarrassing." You added.

"Too bad you don't still have the Dragon Eye. At least then, we could look at the other lens." Dagur said.

"Other lens?" Hiccup asked.

"There's more than one, Dagur?" You asked.

"Well Dad gave us both lenses when we were kids. I use mine to look at stuff or to start fires with the sun." You chuckled at how childish is was.

"Do you still have it?" Hiccup asked.

"No. But, I know who does. Anyway, what does it matter? It's not like you have another Dragon Eye laying around."

*At the clubhouse*

"...You have another Dragon Eye laying around. Of course he does." Dagur said as Hiccup showed him the new Dragon Eye he'd made.

"I call it the Dragon Eye Two."

"Oh, 'Dragon Eye Two'. That is some weak sauce right there. We're gonna give you a CBB on that." Ruffnut said.

"Uh, I'm sorry, CBB?" Hiccup asked.

"What does that even mean?" You added.

"Contrived by a bonehead. It's a technical term. Let me pitch one more before you leave. The Thorston-Thorston." Hiccup sighed at the two of them. "Ain't nothing wrong with double Thorstons. Am I right, sis?"

"I, for one, think Hiccup should be applauded for his ingenuity." Dagur said. "It works, right, brother?"

"Well, not quite yet. You see this dial here? You turn it to slide in different color gems for the light to filter through. I still need those gems." Hiccup admitted. 

"Perhaps my humble, yet vast and varied trading skills might be of some minor assistance in their procurement, Master Hiccup?" You turned as Johann showed up.

"Johann, what are you doing here?" Snotlout asked.

"I come bearing a gift for Miss Heather. A mea culpa, if you will, for her ghastly experience at the Northern Markets." He explained.

"Save it, Johann. She's not here." 

"Oh, pity." Johann replied, glaring at him.

"Uh, but back up, Johann, to the part where you help find the jewels to finish the Dragon Eye Two."

"I have no doubt I can obtain these baubles for you, Master Hiccup. I shall personally deliver them to your door in three to four moons." You were stunned.

"Um, what?"

"No. No, no. We can't wait that long, Johann." Hiccup told him.

"There is a slight possibility to obtain them at the Northern Markets. But I think we all know the dangers that place possesses. Ooh." You raised an eyebrow. Is it just me or is he acting...weird? Like...weirder than normal.

"Well, we'll just have to risk it." Hiccup told him.

"Hiccup, there has to be another way. The Northern Markets has just gotten too unpredictable." Fishlegs agreed.
