12: A New Home

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Around a week has passed since Hiccup had woken up again, and Berk was now safe again after centuries of being raided by dragons. Everything's been a bit much for most of the villager's who are getting used to all the new dragons living with them, Winter has just arrived, and it was getting much colder now after what happened.

Spike and Hiccup have been working to build up new staples and places for the dragons to live around and reside in, most Vikings are taking dragons under their care to train them like Hiccup did, while they're still trying to find they're way to earn their trust, things have been going pretty well after all of this.

Spike has been still getting used to having a new home with Toothless after all they went through the past few weeks, after years of living on their own on a island, they now have a new home, friends, and people who are there for them when they need it. While there's still much for them to uncover in the future, right now, they're just wanting to take in the time they have to rest.

Spike was currently within Hiccup's home after they've begun adjusting to living on Berk now, Hiccup's home was rearranged a bit so they could live there too, Spike now had a hammock for a bed just above Toothless's own bed, which was now a large rock near Hiccup's that was most comfortable for them, and near the desk, Spike and Hiccup were seen looking over some plans and blueprints for possible dragon staples, and other places that could help Berk grow closer with his kind, Toothless was right next to them to look over the plans, and they were all liking what they've come up with so far.

"And I'm thinking we could build a few staple's a bit within the forts for both defense, and to help those dragons who are weak to the cold have a place to stay warm, we could build some extra fire safety devices near Gobber's shop, and even if it may take some time to build it, we could make possible games or extra activity's to help Dragons glow closer with the Vikings, I'm thinking Dragon Racing would be a good start." Hiccup listed out as they saw the multiple plans they've been working on, and they really liked the ideas of all of them.

"These are perfect! We could get working on the staples in the forts right away, with how cold it's been getting recently, I think this will be a great start!" Spike said with an eager smile while they high fived eachother for they're hard work.

"What do you think dad? These look good to you?" Spike asked while he showed Toothless the plans, and he gave an approving nod in response after seeing it.

"No complaints here. If it'll help make the dragons more comfortable living here, then we need to do what we can to help!" Toothless said positively which Spike smiled at.

"Dad says it's a great idea to start working on things, even if these are just first drafts so far, once we figure out more on what works best for each dragon here, Berk will be a perfect home for Dragons and Vikings." Spike said with a smile which Hiccup was hopeful for.

"Believe me Spike I have lots of ideas on what we can do, I've been thinking about making a glide suit that can help me fly along you guys for a bit, that should be handy for certain situations." Hiccup replied while they saw a drawing of his ideas for a glide suit which could take a while to make.

"Sounds really cool, but what about dad? How is he gonna fly if neither of us are there to help?" Spike asked with concern while he looked at his father's new tail with worry, and Hiccup had an idea on what could help.

"It may take some time but.. I think I can develop a few gears that will help him fly on his own for a bit without risk of him crashing, it's best to keep a backup plan in case something happens." Hiccup replied as he began to draw a few gears and adjustments he could make to Toothless's tail in the future.

"I like the sound of that, it may take some time, but we shouldn't rush things, there's a lot we need to get done now that Dragons are living with the Vikings here." Spike replied as they all stood up to head out to see what's happening with the others.

"I'm sure within time we'll all have no problems with eachother, with that massive dragon gone now, there won't be any more problems with the dragons for a while now hopefully." Hiccup said with a hopeful look which Spike only shrugged off.

"For now anyways, we've barely seen that much outside of Berk yet, so we should be careful for whatever we find out there." Spike pointed out which Hiccup agreed with.

"Yeah, your right on that. Pretty soon the 3 of us are gonna be going as far off as we can with Astrid and everyone else, seeing what other lands are out there, and hopefully somewhere out there.. there's a place where Night Fury's live.. Toothless can't be the only one left.. " Hiccup said with a worried look while Toothless felt a bit sad hearing that, he's traveled to place far beyond Berk even before he found Spike, but no matter how far he went, he never found another place that had a single Night Fury.

Spike looked sad hearing that too, and looking at his father, he knew he was just as worried over the possibility of him being the last one, and they tried not to think that.
"It's okay guys, we'll set out and start finding new lands out there soon, the possibility's are endless with what there is to discover out there." Spike encouraged as they looked at the map of Berk, while there's only a few islands beyond their home, they knew there was far more out there, and they couldn't wait to discover what lies beyond it.

"Sure hope so. But enough of that, let's go show these plans to Gobber and Stoick, I'm sure they'll be eager to get them going." Hiccup said as he took the plans they've made to get approval, and Spike nodded before he took the map of Berk to hold onto it for later.

"Sounds good, come on dad, let's see how the other's are doing." Spike replied as they all started heading to the door to find them.

"Right." Toothless replied as he made a bit of a yawn before they walked out of the house together.

They came out of their house soon and had started making they're way down to the village, a lot of it had new staples and places that a dragon could use for rest, most of the dragons around Berk were flying around right now to get used to this new home of theirs, and a few Vikings were out with them trying to bond with them to strengthen their relationship.

The sky was pretty cloudy at this hour, with possible chances of snow coming in very soon, Spike could feel the cold wind brush over his scales, making him shiver just a bit while bracing himself for more how much colder it's gonna get soon.
"You alright Spike?" Hiccup asked while they passed by few dragons heading to get some lunch nearby.

"I'm fine, it's just a bit cold for me right now, dad and I lived on an island for years by ourselves, so we've gotten used to it being pretty cold like this, but I've still had trouble adjusting to how cold it gets here." Spike replied while he used his fire to warm up his claws to push through it.

"You'll have to get used to that Spike, we get snow far more often then you think here, with Winter being here now we need to do what we can to help the other dragons adjust to how things work around here too." Hiccup replied while he picked up one fish and threw it to Toothless who caught and ate it with one bite while Spike went to take the next one.

"As long as the village helps take care of them if they get sick or hurt here, I'll be fine with it. We've got a long way to go to help make this a perfect place for dragons and Vikings everywhere." Hiccup replied as they were almost to Gobber's shop where he and Stoick were probably at by now.

But as they were about to make it there, Hiccup noticed a few people were missing right now, and he looked around for where they were.
"Uh, hold on a sec. Spike did you see Astrid, Snotlout or the Twins earlier by any chance?" Hiccup asked while they looked around for them.

"No, dad and I have been in the house the whole morning with you remember?" Spike reminded which made Hiccup smack his face a bit after realizing it.

"Right.. sorry about that?" Hiccup apologized while Toothless's ear's perked up after hearing something nearby.

"I think I hear them.." Toothless announced which got Spike's attention, and he soon heard what sounded like.. screaming?

"Is that Snotlout?" Spike asked with concern before they all turned around before they suddenly saw Snotlout run past them while screaming with fear, and Astrid screamed with rage while chasing after him with her axe.

"What is wrong with you, you idiot?!" Astrid screamed with fury while she chopped a few barrel's down with rage while Snotlout tried to escape her while looking terrified.

"Uh what's.. going on?" Hiccup asked with worry while the twins came up to them while chuckling a bit seeing this.

"Snotlout just asked Astrid something that really.. REALLY made her mad, you can obviously tell that from this." Tuffnut answered while Spike saw her chase him into.. an armory..

"Uh.. what exactly did he say to her?" Spike asked with concern as multiple weapons were being thrown around as Snotlout screamed with terror from inside. And Ruffnut whispered what it was in his ear which made his eyes widen with shock hearing it.

"He said what?!" Spike shouted with shock which got Hiccup more worried on what's going on, and Spike didn't hesitate to whisper it to Toothless and Hiccup who were both shocked and scared hearing it.

"Why would he even think it's okay to say something like that?!" Toothless asked with shock while they all looked at the armory which had more weapons being thrown out by the second.

"I think someone should go in and stop her.." Hiccup said nervously while the twins laughed a bit hearing it.

"Yeah right, none of us are that stupid to go to Astrid when she's this mad." Tuffnut refused while he crossed his arms.

"Yeah, let's just let Astrid let out some steam, pretty sure it's gonna take a long while for that to happen." Ruffnut added while Fishlegs walked up to them after hearing all this commotion.

"I don't think she's gonna let him off easy after this.." Fishlegs said with fear which everyone shook their heads at.

"You think?" Spike asked sarcastically while they kept hearing Snotlout's screams from within the armory.

"Well.. someone has to go in there and stop her right?" Fishlegs asked with fear while Hiccup tried figuring this out.

"Someone has to, any ideas guys?" Hiccup asked nervously while Spike got an idea on what to do.

"I've got something, okay, everyone. on 3. 1, 2, 3. ( everyone else joins in at the same time) Not it!!" Everyone shouted at once before they backed up a good distance away while Fishlegs didn't catch onto it in time before he sadly realized what he has to do.

"Aw man.." Fishlegs said with fear before he started making his way to the armory to try and stop this.

"How long you think Snotlout's gonna last in there even with Fishlegs trying to stop her?" Ruffnut asked while Spike shrugged his shoulder's seeing how bad this situation is.

"Eh, I'd say less then a minute, I may have known you guys for a few weeks, but even I've been able to see not to mess with Astrid." Spike said with a shrug with Tuffnut agreed with.

"Give or take. So what are you guys doing out here anyway?" Tuffnut asked while they started getting back to what they were doing currently.

"We were looking for Stoick and Gobber, do you guys know where they are?" Hiccup asked as they just moved on from this little incident for later.

"They're at the Gobber's shop, just working on making some more metal tables so the dragons don't burn them down accidentally, why do you need to see them?" Ruffnut asked while they turned back to Gobber's shop which wasn't too far ahead.

"Spike and I just came up with a few more plans on how to help expand Berk a bit to help dragons adjust here, it may take a while, but when they're done with it, it'll definitely help make things easier for all of us." Hiccup answered while he showed them the drawings they've made of currently, and they were pretty impressed with what they're seeing.

"Not bad, you know it's pretty easy to see Spike as like a dragon version of you Hiccup, with how similar the two of you act, we'd almost mistake you for brother's or something if not for that." Tuffnut replied which Spike didn't mind hearing since Toothless said something similar to him some time ago.

"That's just what makes us different from everyone else, and that's what's made us special too. If Hiccup didn't spend time with me and my dad, seeing how much more there is to dragons, this village would probably be facing another raid because of what that monster was doing to them. I'm lucky to even be here after my father found me all those years ago on that island, and now that we have a new place to call home, we gotta do everything we can to keep it safe." Spike said with a smile while they looked over the village, while it was pretty large, there was much more room for improvement now that dragons are living here, and hopefully these new plans of theirs will help progress things faster.

"Couldn't have said it better myself Spike, come on, let's see if dad needs anything. And you two.. just try not to cause too much trouble. Astrid being upset right now is bad enough as it is." Hiccup warned before he and Spike started leaving finally while the twins shrugged it off.

"He doesn't know us that well does he?" Tuffnut asked with a smirk while they looked back at the armory from before.

"No he does not." Ruffnut replied before ran over to it to see how bad things could be getting for Snotlout in there.

Spike, Hiccup and Toothless soon made they're way over to Gobber's shop where they could hear metal being slammed on by hammer's, and it didn't take too long for them to go inside to see the two of them working on some stuff for the village, there were more metal plates being forged around for the tables like the twins said, and there was even more metal lying nearby for more forging.
"Uh.. hey dad, Gobber, is this a bad time?" Hiccup asked with a worried look just as Gobber hammered some more of the metal before they both finally took notice of the three of them at the entrance.

"Of course not son. Just taking in a few requests from the villager's, how are you two doing?" Stoick asked with a smile before he walked over to them to see what's going on.

"I take it you and your friend have come up with more plans for us to work on by now haven't you?" Gobber asked with a smug look since that's most likely, and Spike nodded his head hearing that since there was no other answer.

"Pretty much, we've been working all morning to come up with more ideas to help the village out." Spike replied while Stoick took the plans they've made and looked over them, looking more and more impressed with each one he's seen.

"I take it this is why the light was on in your house before the sun was even up?" Stoick asked with a proud look which they both confirmed.

"Yeah, we've been brainstorming over what we can do, what do you think of them?" Hiccup asked with a hopeful look before Stoick gave them a pat on the back while looking very proud for these ideas.

"These are perfect, we've been looking for ways to prevent accidental fires that the dragons could make, I'll order the villager's to get working on these right away, good work you two." Stoick said proudly while he placed the papers nearby Gobber who inspected each of them to understand what they are.

"Well I see you two have been busy, Dragon Racing eh? That could take months to develop with what these plans show, but I take it you both have ideas on how to make the progress go faster don't you?" Gobber asked while Hiccup took a few weapons over to a wall and placed them down as they kept talking about this.

"If we're going to find ways to help both Dragons and Vikings get along better, we need more activities don't we? I'm sure the sheep won't mind being launched into the air or swooped off the ground by them right?" Spike asked jokingly while he looked at a nearby sheep who looked pretty scared hearing it which only made him chuckle a bit.

"Don't worry about it Spike, it'll be fine! The dragons aren't eating the sheep anymore are they?" Hiccup asked with a hopeful look which made Spike look to Toothless who shook his head being asked that.

"Don't look at me, Hookfang would be the one to answer that, not me." Toothless said in defense which Spike only shrugged off.

"I'm sure they'll get used to it a few months after we build them, bet you Astrid will have a blast competing in them with the others." Spike replied which Stoick could already see just from the thought of it.

"I can see her winning every match that she competes in, knowing her she'll probably love it. But where is Astrid anyway?" Stoick asked with a confused look which they didn't know how to answer.

"Uh.." They both said nervously just until they heard a loud hammer sound nearby, and they soon saw Snotlout be thrown over towards the window after Astrid finally taught him a lesson for what he said to her.

"Let me guess, you got too overconfident again and said something terrible to her, just like the last 15 times you've tried to win an argument with her?" Gobber suggested with a smug look as Snotlout had a black eye from what went down minutes ago.

"She has huge anger issues.. why can't she just take a joke?" Snotlout asked weakly while Astrid dropped a hammer on his chest while still looking upset about it.

"I know when to take in a joke, but when it comes to your terrible ones, I am NOT laughing." Astrid said with frustration before she went over to get a few more weapons for something else.

"This has happened over 15 times before?" Spike asked with a confused look while looking at the Twins who were eager to tell him about what happened.

"Oh yeah, they are crazy stories let me tell you! It all started back during a sparring match around a year back.." Ruffnut said as she began telling Spike what happened to it offscreen, and the longer it went on, Toothless could see Spike's growing shock and frustrations on how many times Snotlout's done this before.

"Oh dear Thor.." Hiccup told himself while Stoick shook his head seeing Snotlout do something like this again.

"People may still call you a scrawny Viking son, but everyone here agrees that Snotlout is a meathead who speaks without thinking of what the consequences will be." Stoick said with an upset look while Snotlout was trying to stand back up after taking a hard hit from her.

"Come on guys, it wasn't that bad..." Snotlout said weakly while Fishlegs helped him stand up just as Ruffnut finished telling Spike the stories, and he looked at him with a disgusted look after hearing all of it.

"You are messed up dude. When even the twins are saying what your doing is crazy, you know you've messed up big time." Spike said with an upset look while pointing at him who was feeling pretty ashamed for what's happened.

"Can we just move on from this please? I've already had a rough morning as it is." Astrid asked as she finished sharpening up her axe while glaring at Snotlout who was still scared of her right now.

"You never learn do you Snotlout?" Gobber asked as he was looking over the plans Spike and Hiccup had made to see what they can do.

"Come on guys, let's just forget about it, who's up for lunch?" Fishlegs asked hoping everyone was hungry too.

"I could eat, sounds good to me!" Tuffnut said with a smile before he and Ruffnut started to leave with the others already.

"Anything to get out of this cold." Gobber replied as he started to leave too for a little break, even Stoick thought it would be a good time for a little feast.

"We've got a lot to work on this Winter, it's best we all be prepared for what's to come, are you all coming?" Stoick asked as he looked back at Hiccup, Spike, Astrid and Toothless who were staying behind for a moment.

"Uh, give us a moment dad, we'll catch up in a few minutes." Hiccup replied which Stoick understood.

"Don't take too long son, if your still thinking over ideas on what to build next, let me know, I'll be happy to see what you'd like to use to help us. You've been doing a great job son, keep it up." Stoick said proudly before he left them all alone who felt pretty glad to hear that from him.

"Hardly remember the last time he would say something like that to you Hiccup, you've really changed things for the better." Astrid said with a smile while looking a lot calmer now that they're gone. And Hiccup felt really glad that so much has changed after what happened weeks ago.

"Yeah, I still can hardly believe it myself. I gotta admit, I'm a bit jealous of you Spike, even if you and Toothless took care of eachother for years by yourselves, at least you still had a father who always looked after you.." Hiccup said with some sadness which Spike felt regret from hearing.

"Even if me and my dad had eachother, it still didn't beat how lonely it was on that island without anyone else with us, I may have grown up under his wing there, but me and Toothless always knew that somewhere out there, there would be a real home for us beyond that island." Spike replied while he rubbed Toothless's head who really liked the feeling from it.

"It's okay son, what matter's now is that we have a new home to protect and look after, we won't have to be alone anymore. You were the first person that I ever really grew close with before we met Hiccup. Every day I spent raising you as my son.. they were the best days of my life, I was alone for years before I found you, and now that we have a new home.. I'm just grateful we're still here to see this." Toothless said with a smile which Spike found really sweet.

"Thanks dad, I don't think I would've ever had a family like this, if you didn't find me in that cave. Thank you dad." Spike said gratefully while he gave him another hug which Astrid and Hiccup smiled at from seeing.

"I really wish I met you and Toothless sooner Spike, at least when Hiccup was bonding with you both. With how close you are, I only wish I could've seen how it was for you when Toothless raised you. It's really great you have a father like Toothless Spike, he's raised you really well." Astrid said with a smile while he nudged his shoulder a bit which he chuckled at a bit.

"Thanks so much guys, I'm really glad me and Toothless have a new home with you guys, while there's still a long way for us to go with this place, I'll be happy to be along to see what happens next." Spike said with a smile while they started moving to meet up with everyone else.

"I will too Spike, it's so great that this problem with the dragons is finally over, and hopefully now, all we can do for the future is help grow closer, and there's a lot we'll need to do." Hiccup said as he looked around the village, already picturing how much will be changing with the years to come with the plans they have in store.

But as they were making they're way to the halls, Spike suddenly felt another itch come from under his right arm, and he groaned a bit while he scratched it like the last time it happened when he grew his wings.

"You okay Spike?" Astrid asked with concern while he scratched himself a bit more before he finally stopped, and he just tried brushing it off since it may just be an itch.

"I'm fine Astrid, just a little itch, it's nothing to worry about." Spike assured while he walked besides Toothless who felt a bit worried over it.

"You sure son? The last time something like this happened, you literally couldn't stop itching yourself until your wings sprouted." Toothless reminded which Spike shivered at with how bad that felt.

"I'll be fine dad, don't worry, come on, let's go meet up with the others." Spike advised as he was moving ahead of them who were all concerned over this since they still know very little about what type of dragon he really is.

"You think it's something we should be concerned about Hiccup?" Astrid asked with concern while he shook his head seeing him walk off.

"We'll just have to wait to see what happens, come on, it's starting to snow right now." Hiccup advised as there were small snowflakes falling from the sky now, and they all quickly began heading into the buildings to stay warm, and Toothless had a strange feeling this wasn't normal.

"I just hope this isn't as bad as the last time this happened.." Toothless thought to himself while they all went inside, and what none of them had noticed, was that just under his right arm.. black scales began to show, shedding out from some of his purple scales, and they looked at lot like Toothless's own scales..


Author's Note

Thanks for reading this everyone! Sorry if this chapter felt pretty slow and a bit uneventful to some, but I wanted to have a nice little chapter to help show more of how Spike's handling things with the cast right now, I'll be sure to try and show more of it within the movies to follow, and when I cover the Tv shows in a separate story, that will probably be the best place I can show how Spike can interact with everyone else.

I'll go more into what I set up at the end of this chapter in the next one, then we'll be doing a time skip of 5 years just before the 2nd movie, then a lot more is gonna happen after that. I have big plans for the 2nd movie that will tie into the 3rd one, and I hope you look forward to that! For now, I hope this little chapter was nice, and you all look forward to more of it!
