With you ~ ?????? ????????? ? ???! ??

Stoick looked up to see Hiccup running down a hill from a Monstrous Nightmare. He sighs, "Do not let them escape." He told the vikings who held down dragons before he ran off.

Hiccup narrowly dodged the dragons fire. As he ran he found a pole, deciding to hide behind it. Fire spews from each side of the pole. Once it stopped Hiccup looked over his right shoulder, not noticing as the Nightmare creeped up to him on his left.

Right before the Nightmare had its snack Stoick punched it directly on it's snout. As the faced each other, the Nightmare tried to spew at Stoick, only for a small spray to come out.

"You're all out," Stoick said as he cracked his knuckles. He then punched the Nightmare, repeatedly until it flew away in defeat.

Oh, and there's one more thing you should know.

Hiccup cringed, as he watched the pole roll down into the water, breaking many things as it went.

Hiccup turned around to face Stoick, "Sorry, dad."

They saw the dragons take off with their sheep. "Ok, but I hit a Night Fury-" Hiccup blurts out, only to be grabbed, forcefully by Stoick.

As he's being dragged away Hiccup tried to convince his father of his accomplished, ultimately failing. "It's not like the last few times, dad. I actually hit it. You guys were busy an I have a very clear shot- it went down just off Raven's Point. Let's get a search party out there before it-"

"Stop! Just... Stop" Stoick yelled, to stop his son's rambling.

"Every time you step outside disaster falls," stoick continued."Can you not see that I have bigger problems? Winter is almost here and I have an entire village to feed! "

"Y'know, between you and me, the village could do with a little less feeding. Don't ya think? " Hiccup says, a man behind him held his stomach with an offended expression on his face.

"This isn't a joke, Hiccup! " Stoick exclaimed. Sighing, he continued," Why can't you follow the simplest orders? "

"I-I can't stop myself. I see a dragon an I have to just kill it, y'know." the chiefs son makes a squeezing gesture with his hands as he talked."It's who I am, dad. "

"Oh, yer' many things, Hiccup. But a dragon killer is not one of them. Get back to the house." Stoick directed his attention to Gobber."make sure he gets back to the house. I have his mess to clean up." The chief says, sounding annoyed.

As He walked by the other teenagers, excluding Astrid and Talulahh, laughed at him.

"Quite the performance."

"I've never seen anyone mess up that badly. That helped! "

"Thank you, thank you, I was trying, so..." Hiccup says, trailing off at the end.

"I'm gonna go with him, see ya later." Talulahh told Astrid.

"Okay, bye." Astrid responded as she watched Talulahh walk off.

As she caused up with Hiccup and Gobber she hears Hiccup trying to convince the blacksmith that what he wa saying was true. "I really did hit one-oh hey, Talulahh."

"Hi," she quietly responds.

"Anyway-he never listens." Hiccup continued.

"Well it runs in the family," Gobber said, eyeing Talulahh.

"When he does it's always with this disappointed scowl-like someone skimped on the meat in his sandwich." Hiccup then starts talking with an accent, "Excuse me, barmaid, I'm afraid you've brough' me the wrong offspring. I ordered and extra-large boy with beefy arms, extra guts and glory on the side. This here, this is a talkin' fish bone." Talulahh snorted at the end, which caused Hiccup to glare at his twin.

"No, you're thinkin' about this all wrong. It's not so much what ya look like, it's what's inside that he can't stand. "

"Thank you, for summing that up, "Hiccup said sarcastically.

"Look the point is, stop trying so hard to be something you're not."

"I just wanna be one of you guys," Hiccup finished as he let Talulahh and himself into the house.

Gobber sighed before retreating back.

Inside, Talulahh broke the silence first, "I believe you."

He looked at her,  wide-eyed."you do?"

"Yeah, now are we gonna go look for it or what?"

Hiccup smiled before both of them rushed out the back door.

Talulahh's POV

Hiccup and I had been searching for hours. I watched as Hiccup drew X's on his map, marking where the dragon hadn't been.

I was so tired that I was practically falling asleep while walking. I then got startled as my brother started aggressively scribbled on his paper.

"Oh, the gods hate me," he said.

"Yeah, I wouldn't blame them," I said, earning an annoyed glance from him.
 
"Some people lose their knife or a mug, but no not me I managed to lose and entire dragon!"  Hiccup then hit a tree branch out of anger, only for it to bounce back and hit him hard in the face.

I chuckled quietly, stopping when I noticed what my twin was looking at. The tree the branch had been on was broken as though something crashed through it.

"Bingo," I said, in a sing-song tone.

We walked to the edge of the small ledge and looked over. We immediately ducked when we saw the dragon. A Night Fury!

I watched as Hiccup quietly peered over the ledge. As I waited, knife in hand, I chewed on my bottom lip like I always did when I was nervous. I finally looked up when I saw my brother start search for his knife.

"Woah," I breathed. Looking at the downed dragon.

We slid down to the dragon, both with our knife in our hands.

I felt bad for what we were about to do, I felt it was unfair that he couldn't fight back.

"Oh, wow. I-I I did it. Ohhh,  I did it. This fixes everything. Yes! I have brought down this mighty beast-" He was but off by a groan, coming from the Night Fury. He quickly scurried back against a rock. I did the same.

I watched my brother get up, cautiously, holding his knife out in front of himself. He scanned the dragon finding his eyes open wide.

The Night Fury continued to groan as Hiccup points the knife at him, breathing heavily.  "I'm gonna kill you dragon. I'm gonna  cut out your heart and take it to my father. I'm a viking. I'm a viking!"

Hiccup lifted his knife above his head. The dragon laying his head back, accepting his fate.

I grew a confused face when Hiccup lowered his arms. "I did this," he said, glancing at me.

I stared wide-eyed a my dumb twin brother as he started to cut the ropes. "What are you doing?!" I whisper-yelled at him, not getting and answer.

I move behind the rock before Hiccup finish with the ropes. When he did I heard I loud roar then loud foot steps headed away from me.

I got up as hiccup started walking towards me, passing out before he could reach.

As soon as he woke up we sprinted home, without a word to each other the whole way.
