Watching the Future Part 1

HTTYP Part 2

"At least we weren't burnt." She muttered only loud enough for Hiccup, Optimus and the Shapeshifter to hear.

Hiccup and Emily quickly resumed their run.

"Your dad doesn't like me very much, does he?" Emily asked warily as he nodded.

"Warned me not to hang out with you but you seemed like a nice teen to hang out with. Anyway, That's Stoick the Vast. Chief of the tribe. They say that when he was a baby, he popped a dragon's head clean off of its shoulders. Do I believe it? Yes, I do." Hiccup explained as Emily shuddered at the thought of the poor dragon getting its head ripped off. 

Stoick chuckled at that before looking at Hiccup who won't meet his eyes for some reason. The chief avoided the glares that were shot towards him by the other people in the theater, mainly the silver, blue and red one.

"What do you mean not to hang out with Ems?! That's so uncool!" Miko said as the TFP characters all agreed with her.

Emily was giving Stoick a disapproving look while Hiccup looked sick at himself for believing the rumors.

After running a few more moments they finally reached their destination and Hiccup quickly took off his apron while Emily started helping by heating up the forge. A friendly greeting from the blacksmith was heard in the fray of the raid going on outside.

"Ah! Nice of you two to join the party! I thought you'd been carried off! Hello, Miss Winters, how is your stay on Berk fairing?" Gobber greeted them both as Emily greeted back with a smile.

"I'm doing great, Gobber. Though Stoick could at least still give me these warning looks as if I'm about to do something." Emily said and just resumed her task.

The Autobots and Decepticons all perk up at seeing Emily working at the forge while Optimus gives her a questioning look. Emily looked back at him and shrugged.

"It was the only job available since the chief won't let me do home repairs, farming and even baking and cooking." She explained.

"What, who, me? Nah, come on! I'm waaaay too muscular for their taste. They wouldn't know what to do with all... this." Hiccup said before motioning to his skinny arms as Gobber changed his prosthetic arm for another tool as Hiccup went to the window.

"Well, they need toothpicks, don't they?" He teased him playfully which got a laugh from Emily and Hiccup.

Hiccup opened the window and vikings quickly ushered him to get their weapons fixed. Hiccup picked them up as Emily helped him to bring the weapons to the forge while Hiccup explained to her who Gobber is.

"The meathead with attitude and interchangeable hands is Gobber. I've been his apprentice ever since I was little. Well... littler." Hiccup said as Emily hammered another sword back into shape and handed some already fixed weapons to the Vikings waiting outside.

"Who are you calling meathead, toothpick?" Gobber question.

"Who are you calling toothpick, meathead?" Hiccup questioned back.

The Vikings just chuckled knowing that was true. Hiccup did work at the forge ever since his father brought him there.

"Seemed like you and Gobber have a father and son relationship while with Stoick... not so much as a relationship." Emily noted as he nodded.

"Yup." He replied while popping the 'p' at his answer.

Stoick deflated a little at this. Why does Gobber and Hiccup seem so close like a father and son would? Sure, he made mistakes but he can't be that bad. Can he?
