Genre: Friendship/Hurt/Comfort

Rating: K+

Hiccup's day has been going horribly. And for good reason, too- being lost in the middle of no where, with only a Scauldron for protection... Against, about, a dozen Dragon Hunter ships. Now, why would that be a problem? Oh, and the island they're on is inhabited by Hiccup's absolute FAVOURITE dragon. Another. Dinosaur. Face.

Chapter One:

What you thought was Bad.

Hiccup's day, so far, had been going horribly.

Thinking back, it had actually looked like it would be fine- that was, of course, until the Clubhouse was set alight with flames.

Following the sound of Snotlout's screams and Hookfang's roars, he had found that it was his cousin's turn to cook... Which unsurprisingly, ended with disaster. It always did, actually... Why did he even suggest the chore schedule in the first place?

Thankfully, the gang was quick onto the job.

And all was set back to normal, the Clubhouse only slightly damaged, and Snotlout's rear end... Well, he wasn't exactly impressed, and it made sense. Hiccup wouldn't like it either if his back end's clothing was burned off, and his bare bottom was blistering. Now that, would haunt Hiccup's dreams forever.

Next came Melody's first interaction with the Night Terrors- which was not expected AT ALL. Ever since she had become a permanent member of Dragon's Edge, the Butterfly-like dragon had begun to get interested in her surroundings- more specifically, the Night Terrors. Hiccup wasn't too sure what she liked the most about them, but he would sometimes find her sitting on the edge of his hut's platform, watching them with cooes and happy eyes.

But he had never expected her attempt to make friends. He knew she wasn't very good at first impressions... Which was mostly the reason why her actions scared the living daylights out of the thunder [1] of dragons.

And thus, he and the gang had spent the next six hours gathering the Night Terrors back up. All the while, Hiccup, being still slightly in the recovery zone from the 'Ice Cavern Incident', and taking it easy, tried to find the guilty Deathsong, who he found in a cave, cowering. And convincing Melody he wasn't mad at her was a nightmare just in its name. The actual action took even longer than the gang rounding up the fled dragons.

And to top his absolutely infuriating day off, lastly, the annoying factor of the day, that was the Air Mail sent from Berk, from his father.

The message in the letter was simple, and the point made clear; He, Toothless, and the Deathsong (who Stoick, at this stage, had made his second personal bodyguard before Toothless) was supposed to attend a peace treaty with the Murderous Tribe, who would be visiting the following week...

And that would normally be fine with him, in fact, most of the time, Hiccup liked anything to do with peace. But he and the Murderous' heir... Well, they didn't exactly get along that well. To which, not to Hiccup's surprise, his father was completely unaware of. Hiccup didn't blame him, after all, it wasn't really his father's fault- he wasn't the heir who used to bully him like he was a practice target. Quite literally.

Frustrated with the day's events, he had left the gang, including Melody, and his faithful Night Fury Toothless, at the Clubhouse, taking a walk to the cliffs in a vain attempt to get away and clear his head, which clearly didn't work out for him. He really wasn't looking forward to going back to Berk...

Except for, now, it didn't really look like he would be going back to Berk. In fact, in his current position, it didn't look like he was going anywhere.

Because, well, he was stranded in the middle of the ocean.

Chapter Two: It Only Gets Worse

A/N:

Whoo! Ok, it's out there.

Where did this come from? Well, it goes like this; I actually was bored, so I just looked through my handy, yet messy 'Story Planning' Concept Book. Found this one. Changed it up a bit, made it a Chapter fic rather than a One-Shot, added another problem, added some injury, the Deathsong from 'Reckless or Selfless?', and BAM, there it is.

Now, it's not much, but I have an important notice here- I'm going on Holiday, but I won't be long. Spending three nights there, and gods, the car trip is FIVE HOURS LONG. Oh, the agony...

Our apartment/hotel thing we're staying in (is actually 4.5 stars) has Free Wi-Fi; MY IPAD IS COMING WITH ME, NO QUESTION. And I've decided to take my Laptop, so there is a slim chance I might post something. But don't get your hopes up. However, I will receive your reviews, and your love- if you PM me, I will get it, and very likely respond.

Well, that's it for now. Toodles! Love you all!
