[The scene changes to a boundless sky. Vast. Clear. Crisp. And from it, a black speck rockets across the horizon. The image of unbridled freedom. Tucked into his riding position, Hiccup appears to be part of Toothless. They dip, roll and dive, over a sea teeming with Thunderdrums, pulling off daring maneuvers with honed refinement, making them seem effortless.]
Mildew glared at the Night Fury while the twins chanted for Hiccup.
Hiccup: Yeah!
[They jackknife, heading skyward, rolling and tumbling through the ethereal cloud-scapes and joining high-flying Timberjacks as they soar in formation. Hiccup is bound head-to-toe in a snug, aerodynamic flight suit -- an asymmetrical, functional design of leather and articulated plates. It has an air of Viking bike leather.]
Hiccup: What do you think, bud? Wanna give this another shot?
Astrid: What was that meant?
Clara: You'll see.
Carol: Also, brace yourselves.
[Toothless grumbles in protest.]
Hiccup: Toothless! It'll be fine.
[With a click of a lever, he locks the pedals in the flared tail position. Hiccup then unhooks himself from the saddle.]
Hiccup: Ready?
Gobber: Oh boy, you're not gonna do what I'm thinking.
Hiccup however was shocked knowing what it means.
[Toothless snorts unenthusiastically. Suddenly, Hiccup slides off of Toothless, peeling away from him like a skydiver from a plane, yelling as he plummets.]
Everyone gasped that Hiccup is free-falling from the sky. Meanwhile, Astrid starts to choke his neck.
[Toothless dives after him. They spiral through the air, face-to-face. Toothless is having fun, despite himself. When he sees the ocean, Hiccup slips his forearms through a pair of tucked leather flaps, and yanks, unfurling sheets of leather as he extends his arms. They catch the wind, snapping like wings, and sending him gliding! Toothless unfolds his wings, too, catching up with Hiccup.]
Everyone was speechless.
Everyone: Hiccup's flying?!
Fishlegs started to squeal as Toothless perks up from his seat admiring the scene.
[The freedom is palpable. Hiccup and Toothless are, for the moment, the same. Feeling the same rush of adrenaline. Independently together. They plunge past cloud formations, splitting apart then crossing paths again.
Hiccup: This is amazing!
[A cloud layer washes past, exposing a towering rock formation, dead ahead.]
Astrid then starts to choke Hiccup again.
Hiccup: No longer amazing! Toothless!
