Talulahh's POV




It was the first Dragon's Edge Annual Census meaning we flew around and counted all of the wild and trained dragons that live on the with us.

Fishlegs was supposed to be counting the Night Terrors when he burst into the clubhouse.

He informed us of the Fireworm problem and we took off to inspect the damage.

As we flew over the island Fishlegs spoke, "It began with one Fireworm and as we were flying back, we kept seeing more an more."

"Do you think they're migrating?" Astrid asked.

"If they were migrating, the whole island would be on fire." Hiccup said.

"Well.." I started.

"Not necessarily." Fishlegs finished for me.

"Here we go!" Snotlout said.

"When Fireworms migrate they send out scouts to see if their migration route is safe." Fishlegs explained. "If this is a stop along that route..."

"An entire flock of Fireworms could be coming through here." Astrid finished.

"Well, I say bring 'em on!" Tuff exclaimed. "I love those little scorchers."

"Are you still gonna love them when they all land here and burn our entire island to the ground?" Hiccup made a good point that Tuff probably wouldn't understand.

"Yes! Wait, no. Wait, is that a trick question? Because it's pretty tricky." Tuff said.

Astrid ignored him," Fishlegs, how much time do we have? "

"It's hard to say. If its a full migration, the rest of them could be here as soon as next week. "He explained.

"Good to know." Snotlout said as he pulled Hookfang back." It's been nice knowing you, island. Snotlout is outlout! "

I rolled my eyes an Hiccup said,"We are not abandoning the island, Snotlout."

"Uh, yeah, we are. Watch." Hiccup pulled in front of Snotlout before he could leave.

"Guys, we put to much har work into this place to just leave. Snotlout is not 'outlout'. We're staying. Now let's get to work." Hiccup ordered.

"Fine! But I still like my plan better." Snotlout reluctantly agreed.

After we did all of the work we were assigned to, we met back up at the clubhouse. Hiccup sat on the rounded table in the middle. The rest of us stood in a circle around him.

"Okay, Astrid. You and Fishlegs filled the watering troughs, right?" My brother asked.

"Yep! Topped off all the barrels too." She replied.

"Ooh, I found a perfect cave for the Night Terrors." Fishlegs added. "High enough and desolate enough so the flames won't ge near them."

"Perfect. Good job, guys." Hiccup said. "Now if the twins would finally get back, we could find out what they've done."

"Oh, I can tell you what they've done." Snotlout claimed. "Zero, zip, zilch. I'm forgetting something. Oh, yeah, goose egg!" He held up an 'O' shape with his hand.

"Oh, 'contrary',my fine fellow. " A new voice said, which I quickly recognized as Tuffnut."We have done quite a lot, actually. "

"Did you clear the brush? "Hiccup asked.

"Uh, no. "

"Build a fire break? "

"Nope, not that. "
