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

Talulahh's POV:

"You get it, Johann?" Hiccup asked, picking up the Trader.

Johann didn't respond.

"Johann?" I furrowed my brows.

"Huh? Oh, yes." Johann held up the map that would lead us to Viggo's dragon auction. I guess Johann could be useful sometimes.

"I see terrible  Terrors and a few Fireworms, but where are they hiding the big dragons?" Hiccup muttered, using his spyglass to spy on the auction. The spyglass has a fitting name.

Chip!

"Oh, I know. We'll free them." I promised my friend, who was sad to see other Fireworms locked up.

"Let's go inform the others." Hiccup decided.

"More riding on the dragon?" Johann shuddered. "Maybe your beast will be calmer." He looked at me.

I frowned, "My beast doesn't like you." Sapphire growled in aproval.

"Extra ships on the perimeter. Guards everywhere." Hiccup explained. "Catapults and watchtowers on the cliffs. Dragon Root arrow launchers on every sea stack within a half mile. There's no way in or out. Period."

"Hiccup, Hiccup, Hiccup, think positive." Tuff spoke up.

"And how do you suggest I do that?" Hiccup asked.

"Rapid-fire. Mug, half-empty or half-full?" Tuffnut pointed at my brother.

"Definitely empty." Hiccup replied.

"Definitely full." I countered. "Like he said, think positive."

"Don't waste your time." Ruff whispered to Tuff and I.

"It is, however," Hiccup continued, "the perfect opportunity to put a big dent in Viggo's dragon trades."

"But how?" Astrid asked.

Fishlegs laughed slightly. "Astrid, I'm sure Hiccup has an idea. You do have an idea, right?" He turned to Hiccup.

"Let me guess. Cruise right into the place and announce ourselves." Snotlout chuckled.

"You know, I think we need someone to get close to Viggo. Keep him busy while we find the rest of those dragons. Now, it has to be someone Viggo wouldn't suspect, because he's never seen them up close." Hiccup muttered.

We grimaced as we watched Snotlout pick his nose and feed it to Hookfang. "You've got to be kidding me." Astrid murmured.

"Wait, no, he's the only one who was never captured by Viggo or Ryker. He's the only one they don't know." Hiccup reasoned.

"He's the only one who's clueless enough to actually pull it off." Fishlegs added.

"Apologies, but I'd like to remind you that Dahlia and I didn't get captured. We willingly walked into his tent." I spoke up.

"Didn't you get captured by Ryker when the Skrill was kidnapped?" Dahlia reminded.

"You're supposed to be on my side." I hissed, my eyes wide.

"I hate to be the bearer of most unfortunate news, Master Hiccup." Johann spoke, bringing my focus back to the task at hand. Dahlia had met Johann this morning, she was kind and welcoming as usual.

Johann continued. "Unless you're hiding a pile of gold in the crevices of your tunic, you won't see the dragons, let alone bid on them."

"I can check if he's hiding a pile of gold in the crevices of his tunic." Dahlia offered, a surprisingly innocent grin on her face.
