Two weeks have passed and Hiccup was still in a coma with no signs of waking up, until today. He was started to stir and Toothless, who noticed, went to nudge him.

"Oh, hey, Toothless." Hiccup muttered weakly. Toothless continued to nudge him, trying to get him to get up. The dragon grew impatient waiting for his human to wake up from his deep sleep and he didn't want to wait anymore. "I'm happy to see you too, buddy." Then Toothless pressed his paw on Hiccup stomach, making the latter jerk up immediately. "OW! What-"

Hiccup then took in his surroundings and realised where he was. "I'm in my house." Then he saw Toothless and his mate right in front of him "You're both in my house. Uh... does my dad know you two are in here?! Where's Hicca?" He got the answer to the last question when he turned his head on the side and noticed his sister sleeping on a chair next to him.

The two Night Furies started jumping around excitedly knocking things over, to Hiccups' dismay.

"Okay, okay- no, Toothless! Midnight! Aw, come on..." The two dragons ignored him and got on the rafters above. The noise they were making woke Hicca up.

"Midnight, please. I know you want to go flying but-" As soon as she took a glance at her brother, her eyes shot open. "Hiccup?" She whispered.

"Hey, sis."

Hicca immediately went over to him and wrapped her arms around him, hugging him as tight as she could and he returned it. After she hugged him, she slapped him on left shoulder.

"Ow! What was that?!"

"You idiot! You nearly gave me a heart attack! Don't ever do that again!"

"Okay, I'll try not to." Hiccup replied sarcastically, rubbing his shoulders. He moved to get out of his bed, but stopped when he noticed that something felt different. He removed his blanket and froze in shock by what he saw. Hicca got off his bed and watched his reaction carefully. How was he going to react?

He slowly got out of bed, placing his real foot and prosthetic foot on the ground. He looked at his sister while Toothless, who came down from the rafters with his mate, started sniffing his fake leg.

"The leg was way beyond repair when we saw it. It couldn't be called a leg anymore. We had no choice. The healer had to amputate it. You may feel phantom pain for a while, but don't worry because you won't have to face it alone." Hicca said solemnly, trying to shake away the memory of her brother screaming during the amputation.

Hiccup sighed "I knew it was too easy getting out of there alive. Is this the same prosthetic leg I designed?"

Hicca nodded "I had Gobber make it for you. It took him some time as he discovered it's not easy making a Hiccup and Hicca invention."

Hiccup then took a deep breath "Okay... okay..." He slowly stood up and tried to walk. As soon as he made the first step, he fell. Luckily, Toothless caught him and offered his head for support. "Thanks bud." Hiccup said smiling.

"You don't have to get up if you don't want to. Take more time to rest until you're fully ready to get up." Hicca advised.

"It's okay. I'm ready." Hiccup replied. Taking another deep breath, he walked forward, still leaning on to Toothless' head.

"Spoiler alert: you're going to slam the door." Hicca said.

Before Hiccup could ask his sister why, he opened the door and saw a Monstrous Nightmare right in front of him! Just as his sister had guessed, he immediately slammed the door.

"There it is." Hicca said, amused at her brothers' predictable reaction while Toothless and Midnight warbled in confusion. Why weren't they going outside?

Hiccup turned to his sister, asking for an explanation. Hicca just rolled her eyes and went to open the door.

Instead of another dragon raid, however, Snotlout was riding on the Monstrous Nightmare and was joined by the other teens and their dragons. "Come on, guys, get ready! Hold on tight! Here we go!"

"Surprised, huh?" Hicca asked, watching her brothers' shocked expression. Hiccup could not believe his eyes. Dragons were everywhere in Berk. And what was more shocking was that not a single Viking was seen acting hostile towards their new guests. Is this a dream?

"I knew it. I'm dead." Hiccup deadpanned.

Before Hicca could answer, Stoick, who was nearby and overheard gave a chuckle "No, but you were nearly there." He said coming behind his children. "So? What do you think?" He asked as he put one hand on each twins' shoulder.

Hiccup was absolutely speechless as they walked down the steps "I think he likes it dad." Hicca said smilingly. The villagers then notice the two teens walking down the steps.

"Hey, look! It's Hiccup and Hicca!"

"Hiccup, how you doin' mate?"

"It's great to see you two up and about."

"Good to see both of you finally outside your house."

"Turns out all we needed was a little more of... this." Stoick said gesturing to both Hiccup and Hicca.

"You just gestured to all of us." Hiccup stated. His father smiled proudly and nodded.

"Well, most of you, Hiccup." Gobber said walking up to them. "As you can see, I've made one of your handiworks. The design was a bit complex, though. You think it'll do?"

Hiccup stuck out his prosthetic foot and shrugged "I might make a few tweaks." He said, causing everyone to laugh.

"Wouldn't be surprised if you did. Glad to have you back Hiccup. It's boring out here without you and your sister" Raeda said, coming up to them.

"Thanks, Rae." Hiccup and Hicca said, both smiling.

Suddenly, he got a punch on his left shoulder again.

"That's for scaring me." Astrid said.

Hiccup rubbed his left shoulder. Does his left shoulder have a target painted on it or something? "What, is it always going to be this way? Cause..." He didn't get to finish that sentence because Astrid then gave him a kiss on the lips.

"...I could get used to it." Hiccup said after the kiss.

"Lovebirds!" Hicca whispered in a sing-song voice to Raeda, who grinned in response.

"Welcome home." Gobber said, giving Hiccup a new prosthetic tailfin and saddle for Toothless

"Night Fury! Get down!" That caused the teens to turn and see Toothless jumping over a few Vikings to get in front. He was joined by Midnight as the two dragons looked at their riders with pleading looks.

The twins shared a look and laughed. A few seconds later, Hiccup has strapped the saddle and the prosthetic tailfin with a newly modified left stirrup on to Toothless.

"You guys ready?" Hiccup asked Hicca, Raeda and Astrid who all got on their dragons.

"Do you have to ask?" Hicca replied while Astrid and Raeda nodded in agreement. The four of them and their dragons then took off into the skies.

This... is Berk. It snows nine months of the year, and hails the other three. Any food that grows here is tough and tasteless. The people that grow here are even more so.

They flew high up in the air, zigzagging in perfect sync.

The only upsides are the pets.

The four teens and dragons then flew through the docks, where they were joined by Fishlegs and his Gronckle.

While other places have...ponies or parrots, we have...

Soon Snotlout and his Monstrous Nightmare and Ruffnut and Tuffnut and their Hideous Zippleback joined the group. A new era has begun.

...dragons!
