The Silence quickly broke into outrage. "How dare she show us his death!" "Who does she think she is doing that?!".

Vicky simply rolled her eyes, got out her phone and started playing games. Toothless growled at the noise and wrapped a protective tail around Hiccup. The teens, Stoick and Gobber were wide eyed with shock terrified for Hiccup's life. Hiccup himself surprisingly didn't really care. He found it obvious that he (or someone) was going to die, it was life. That and he was distracted. Should he accept the offer? Should he not? Would be be able to fly Toothless? How would he keep the wings tails and such hidden?

Astrid clung onto Hiccup in a death grip.

"SHUT THE HEL UP AND SIT DOWN!" Hope's voice shocked everyone reminding that she was not to be mistaken for. In this outburst everyone sat down, became deathly quiet and turned to look at the teen, some turning to glare at her in the meantime.

Vicky locked her phone and quickly shoved the phone into her pocket.

"Ok.. now I've got your attention. There is more, and we are going to watch it ok?" most people stiffly nodded their heads.

DISSOLVE TO:

A whiteout of ash. And through it comes...

"see it's not finished" Hope gestured to the screen.

STOICK

Hiccup? Hiccup!?

[Stoick appears, searching desperately. Everything is

scorched. Even the ground is smoking from the terrible heat.]

Many Vikings and dragon alike hand now snapped out of their fits and were focusing hardly on the screen begging there to be a chance that Hiccup and Toothless were alive.

STOICK (CONT'D)

Hiccup!? Son!?

Through the ash, Stoick the motionless silhouette of

Toothless.]

STOICK (CONT'D)

(GRAVE)

Hiccup.

The room tensed, Vicky swore that the density in the room could be cut by the knife. Or even thinking that the knife would brake trying.

[He hurries to the dragon's side. Toothless is roughed up, but

conscious. His scorched saddle, however, is vacant.

Stoick looks to the sky in despair. He buckles at the knees,

overwhelmed by the loss.]

Hiccup smiled ghostly at his father reminding his that he was still here.

STOICK (CONT'D)

Oh son...I did this...

[Astrid pushes through the crowd, her eyes welling up.

Followed by Gobber. They flank Stoick as he kneels, slumped

over.]

Hiccup smiled apologetically at Astrid earning himself a punch from the vicious girl.

[Behind them, a ring of Vikings form, keeping a respectful

distance. As the dust and smoke clear, a ring of wild

dragons can also be seen, gathering just behind and between

the Vikings.

Toothless stirs and groggily rolls his head toward Stoick.

Their eyes meet.]

STOICK (CONT'D)

I'm so sorry...

"The magic words" Astrid muttered smiling at Hiccup

[Toothless unfolds his wings, revealing Hiccup, unconscious,

clutched safely against his chest. Stoick's eyes widen.]

Many breaths were released at that moment with a few still hitched waiting to see if the boy was breathing.

STOICK (CONT'D)

Hiccup.

[He scoops Hiccup into his arms. Listens to his heart. Bursts

into relieved laughter.]

STOICK (CONT'D)

He's alive!

(TO TOOTHLESS)

You brought him back alive!

The Vikings cheered with the dragons lighting their fire at the star gazed roof in celebration.

[The crowd roars. Followed by the dragons. The Vikings look

around to find themselves surrounded.

Stoick leans close to Toothless, meeting him eye to eye.]

STOICK (CONT'D)

(PRIVATELY)

Thank you... for saving my son.

[Gobber looks Hiccup up and down.]

GOBBER

Well, you know... most of him.

Hiccup slumped face-planting onto the floor with a groan. Astrid patted is back in a kind of reassurance. Toothless moaned in disappear.

[Stoick glances back at him. Gobber shrugs, redirecting his

eyes toward...]

INT. STOICK'S HOUSE - DAY

CLOSE ON

[HICCUP, asleep, his head on a pillow. Healing scars on his

face show that maybe a week or two have passed.

Toothless hovers over him, WHINING and GRUMBLING impatiently.

Hiccup stirs. Opens his eyes.]

Hiccup sits up smiling (well more like smirking… but anyway) at the playful dragon whining pitifully like an unhappy child. {sorry if I offended anyone}

HICCUP

(GROGGY)

Oh, hey Toothless.

Hope grins at Hiccup "you say that like it's totally the most normal thing to say!" Hiccup blushed. Even in the dark the teens could see it.

[Toothless excitedly nuzzles and nudges Hiccup.]

HICCUP (CONT'D)

Okay, okay! I'm happy to see you

too, bud. Now just—

[Toothless steps on his stomach, causing Hiccup to sit BOLT

UPRIGHT with a YELP.]

Some of the men wince and send sympathetic glance to the boy knowing what it felt like.

He looks around, confounded. He's in his bed, moved beside

the fire pit on the main floor of his house.

HICCUP (CONT'D)

I'm in my house.

(re: Toothless, leaning

over him, excited)

You're in my house.

The teens, Gobber, Stoick the hosts, etc face-palmed.

[Toothless TEARS around the room, knocking things over, far

too big for the space.]

HICCUP (CONT'D)

Uh...does my dad know you're in

here?!

[Toothless pauses at the foot of the bed, tongue wagging. He

eyes the rafters... and LEAPS UP onto them, brimming with

'happy dog' energy.]

Astrid pouted and look towards Toothless "aww! You look so cute! Toothless huffed and laid back down.

HICCUP (CONT'D)

(DISTRESSED)

Okay, okay - no Toothless! Aw,

come on...

[Hiccup shifts to get out of bed... then pauses... sensing

that something is wrong.

He peels back the covers slowly. What he sees startles,

horrifies, and overwhelms him - all at once.]

Many gasp, their breath hitching.

ON THE BARE FLOOR

His booted foot touches down. Followed by a mechanical

prosthetic in place of his second leg. It's an ingenious

spring-loaded replacement, made of wood and iron.]

Many wince and many of the amputees glance at Hiccup with sympathy.

Stoick sighs and glances down. When it's someone in the village it doesn't seem so bad… but when it's your son it's completely different.

[Toothless lands by the bed and approaches calmly, sniffing

the new leg. He raises his eyes to meet Hiccup's, seemingly

aware of what Hiccup is going through.

Hiccup braces himself on the bedpost and tries to stand on

it. He winces and stifles the pain...]

Stoick and Astrid face-palm once again.

HICCUP (CONT'D)

Okay...okay...

[... but STUMBLES with the first step. Toothless catches

Hiccup's fall with his head... and slowly lifts him up,

stabilizing him.]

HICCUP (CONT'D)

Thanks bud.

"Thanks" Hiccup wrapped his arms around Toothless' head in a hug thanking him.

[Hiccup leans on him like a crutch. They take a few steps

together.]

Hope and Vicky share a smile. Friend's till the bitter end.

Their missing parts form a poetic silhouette as they make

their way toward the door.

Hiccup pries it open (as he did in the opening scene),

revealing a MONSTROUS NIGHTMARE flapping outside the door.

Hiccup YELPS and slams the door closed. He turns to

Toothless, alarmed.

Astrid shook her head muttering.

HICCUP (CONT'D)

Toothless? Stay here, bud.

[Hiccup pauses... and cracks the door open again. He peeks

outside, his eyes widening. He allows to door to swing open,

revealing...

... the Monstrous Nightmare, carrying Snotlout on its back.]

Astrid banged her head on the ground before being pulled up by Hiccup. Hiccup eyed Astrid with caution, worry and of cause humour as it was their friends making Astrid want to give herself a concussion.

SNOTLOUT

Come on guys, get ready! Hold on

tight! Here we go!

[A class of newbie dragon riders follow him through frame on a

variety of dragons, pulling back the curtain on an amazing

vista in which:

Vikings and dragons mill about by the dozen, basking on the

rooftops, weaving along the plaza. No one seems upset, there

isn't a sword in sight.]

The village and the dragons gasp eyeing the village with caution.

[Under the framework of a MASSIVE BARN, a Nadder BLASTS fire

onto a metal brace. It steps back to let a Viking hammer it

into shape. Nearby, a Gronkle lands, carrying a tree trunk in

his mouth. He shows a Viking what he's found. The Viking pats

his head. Another Viking backs a Zippleback into a stall to

check it for size.]

"Amazing" muttered the teens in awe.

[Hiccup takes a step outside, finding Stoick waiting for him

on the step.]

HICCUP

I knew it. I'm dead.

"You'd think that wouldn't you". Hope glanced to Hiccup who merely shrugged.

[Stoick laughs.]

STOICK

No, but you gave it your best shot.

[He puts his arm around Hiccup, steadying him. He gestures to

the transformed village.]

STOICK (CONT'D)

So? What do you think?

[Hiccup just shrugs, amazed.]

"No words?" Hope smirked. Hiccup glared back knowing what she meant but once again shrugged earning a few laughs from his friends.

[Below, the plaza, villagers take notice.]

VIKING #1

Hey look! It's Hiccup!

They rush over, surrounding him with a hero's welcome.

VIKING #2

Hiccup, how you doin' mate?

VIKING #3

It's great to see you up and about.

STOICK

(SWEETLY)

Turns out all we needed was a

little more of...

(GESTURES NON-SPECIFICALLY AT HICCUP)

... this.

HICCUP

(PLAYING ALONG)

You just gestured to all of me.

GOBBER (O.S.)

Well. Most of you.

[Gobber pushes through the crowd, beaming proudly.]

Hiccup and Stoick face-palmed at Gobber's antics.

GOBBER (CONT'D)

(re: the prosthetic leg)

That bit's my handiwork. With a

little Hiccup flare thrown in.

Think it'll do?

HICCUP

(bittersweet, coming to TERMS)

I might make a few tweaks.

[Astrid appears and jabs Hiccup in the arm. Hiccup recoils

with a grumble.]

"seriously why is it always violence with you?!". Astrid smirked "it's not violence. Its communication" earning a jab in the ribs by Astrid while Hiccup mumbled a few things under his breath including "feisty", "women" and "crazy".

ASTRID

That's for scaring me.

HICCUP

(PROTESTING)

What, is it always going to be this

way? Cause I...

[She grabs him aggressively... then kisses him. Hoots and

hollers follow.]

HICCUP (CONT'D)

... could get used to it.

Hope rolled her eyes playfully smiling.

Toothless himself rolled his eyes and slapped him in the head with his tail. While muttering "stupid, crazy humans" under his breath.

[Gobber presents Hiccup with a rebuilt saddle, rigging, and

tail.]

GOBBER

Welcome home.

[Suddenly, Toothless pounces on the crowd, crushing several

unsuspecting Vikings under his weight.]

VIKING

Night Fury, get down!

Hiccup chuckled.

[Toothless eyes the new tail excitedly, tongue wagging. Amidst

the groans and grumbles, Hiccup and Astrid exchange a

sheepish grin.]

CLOSE ON

Hiccup's prosthetic foot, snapping into the modified stirrup.

The two pieces click together, forming a single shape.

Astride Toothless, he's whole again. He rotates the pedal.

The new tail opens. Bright red with a skull and Viking horns

emblazoned on it. Hiccup approves.

CUT BACK TO REVEAL...

Hiccup and Toothless, saddled up and ready to fly. Astrid

backs her Nadder into position.

"Race" Astrid asked looking at Hope and Hiccup. "Race" they replied in Unison.

HICCUP

(TO TOOTHLESS)

You ready?

[Toothless SNORTS an excited 'yes!'

From his mount, Hiccup looks out over the changed world.]

HICCUP (V.O.) (CONT'D)

This... is Berk.

(BEAT)

It snows nine months of the year...

and hails the other three.

"Jack Frost!" Vicky wildly shouted.

[They LEAP into the bright blue sky, together as one. Astrid

follows, giving chase.]

HICCUP (CONT'D)

Any food that grows here is tough

and tasteless. The people that grow

here are even more so.

Many Vikings glanced at Hiccup offended "Hey!".

[Hiccup and Astrid race their dragons through the village -

under eaves, over rooftops, down cliff-sides, and between

ship masts. It's a high energy, romantic dance of sorts.]

HICCUP (V.O.) (CONT'D)

The only upsides are the pets.

While other places have...ponies or

parrots, we have...

[Their fellow recruits join them as they take to the open sky,

rocketing far above the village. The Northern sky swirls with

blazing, multicolored dragons.

Hiccup and Toothless break from the pack, spinning into the

blinding sun.]

HICCUP (V.O.) (CONT'D)

(PROUDLY)

... dragons.

"DRAGONS!" yelled the theatre in Unison with the screen

FADE TO WHITE

"FINNISHED!" Hope yelled standing up. "Now it's time to go home!"

The theatre groaned. "Will we ever see you again?" Hiccup asked pleadingly at Hope.

Hope groaned rolling her eyes "Oh alright… after the events of the movie have finished would you like to see the tv show?"

"YES!" screamed the teens, and the youth of the village, with the adults mumbling their yes.

"Ok! Now Hiccup I want to talk to you before you all leave. We won't be long carry on."

"Have you decided" Hope looked to Hiccup as they left the room and entered the garden at the end of the hallway"

Hiccup reluctantly nodded "yes…"

"I don't want the stone"

Hope smiled at Hiccup. "Ok! Nothing to worry about then! Let's get you guys back to your time". With a sweep of her tail they left the garden.

"I'M BACK!" Hope opened the door. "I hope you liked the movie, no pun intended but anyway…" the theatre giggled at the unintended pun of her name.

"Time to go home!"

With a wave from the girls and a howl from Hope's wolf who had sat quietly through the whole ornament a flash of light surrounded the room and the room emptied transporting the gang home with temporary memory loss of the mean time.
