First Flight. [video/action for new bark town.]

[For anyone browsing the network, they might notice a gangly, brown-haired teen flashing in and out of video. Technology this advanced might be foreign to Hiccup, but he's always been pretty good at working things out and soon enough he seems satisfied enough to keep it on video.

And is he wearing a dorky cape over his usual clothes? He is totally wearing a dorky cape.]

Uhh...

[Uncertain!]

Hello? I must be crazy... Uhmn, if anyone's listening, I could use a little help?

[A more thoughtful look as he goes back to fiddling with the device. A frown follows.]

New Bark Town? Hmn, I guess these guys don't know how to spell Berk... Why can't vikings see grammar is important, too?

[Hiccups gives the feed A Look before shutting it off.]

No. It is winter now, it will become warmer when spring begins, and it gets rather hot in the summer.

Oh good, heh...

[Paaaause.] Hey, Ziva... How long have you been here?

Four months.

Oh... I don't suppose I could get back home sooner than that, huh?

You could, possibly. We are not in control of when we come, or when we leave. Sometimes, people will fall asleep for a week and wake with more memories of their own worlds.

There was something you left behind, yes?

[It's pretty much clear by the look on his face that Hiccup does not understand these time shenanigans quite yet, but... Whatever. This day has been pretty weird already.]

Well, uh. [Weakest shrug ever.] I guess. There's kind of a bad situation going on with my tribe and...my best friend.

[Ziva nods in understanding.]

I would not worry too much. From what I understand, no matter how much time you spend here, you will return to the same moment. For some, that may not be ideal, but for you...your friend should be fine while you are gone.

Return...to the same moment?

So then he'll be safe, but I'll...still have to slay a dragon. Or convince everyone that we've misjudged them.

Think of it this way: you now have time to think over how you will convince them.

Dragons, hm?

[Ziva is intrigued.]

[That's a new way to look at it. Optimism isn't something that comes easily to Hiccup, but he does feel a bit better.]

Uh, yeah. Do you not have dragons in your world...? [He can't even imagine.] Everyone thinks they're just these horrible monsters, but that's not true at all.

No, we do not.

The friend you were speaking of--is he a dragon, then?

Yeah. For now Toothless is safe in a cove, but... Who knows what could happen.

...Toothless?

[Oh that explains so much. Ziva actually laughs. EVERYTHING MAKES SENSE NOW.]

Well, you certainly do not have to worry about him. He is perfectly fine, and I think he will be very excited to see you.

[The sudden laughter causes Hiccup to stare.]

What? [SO CONFUSED. Until his brain works it out.] Wait, is... Is Toothless here?!

Yes, he is. He has been traveling with my friends and I for a couple of months now. I had been wondering what he was before this place, since he was fairly obviously not a normal person.

You should probably know that he has been turned into a human since his arrival here. We have been trying to teach him some words, but it has been somewhat slow going.

[Even with what he knows about time in Johto, the concept is still pretty hard to grasp. Toothless had been living in this place for months?

Hiccup felt a bit of a jealous pang. He liked Ziva already, but it was weird to think about Toothless having made friends other than him. Even with other dragons, the Night Fury had been a loner.

He pushes these thoughts aside and tunes back in as she explains.]

A human? [Does not compute.] Ah... But Toothless is pretty intelligent. I mean, he always understands me, I...think.

Oh, he is very intelligent. He understands perfectly--he just seems to have some trouble wrapping his mouth around words himself. It is a common issue with those learning another language, much less how to speak at all. I still mix words up myself.

[She'd understand, if she knew what Hiccup was thinking. Right now she's just trying to think of the best way to get Toothless to Hiccup, or vice-versa. They're in Goldenrod, after all--it's a long trip.]

Ah... [Hiccup's eyes roll upwards a bit as he thinks.] Yeah, his mouth would have been a lot wider. And he has retractable teeth normally. I guess it would be pretty strange for him...

[He focuses back on Ziva, noticing her thoughtful expression.]

Uhmn... Is there a problem?

Mm? Oh, it is just that we are in Goldenrod City--it is quite a long way from New Bark Town.

...Oh.

[He had been thinking it would be simple. Hiccup's never gone too far from home, and his brain was still stuck on the Toothless that was able to zip through the sky, no problem.]

Well... I guess I should get going then, huh? If I want to get to this Goldenrod City place.

[Ziva tilts her head thoughtfully.]

Perhaps...you could ask if anyone would be willing to fly you here. Or Toothless to you, if you would rather. There are some interesting things to see along the way, though traveling this time of year means camping in the cold.

[He perks up a little.] So it's possible to fly in this place?

I guess...it would be up to Toothless? But really, I don't mind the cold too much.

It is. In fact, two of mine would be able to carry you, I think, if they knew the proper trick to do so. It is not so simple as just telling them, otherwise it would be easy.

Wait--Why wouldn't it be as simple as telling them?

I am not completely sure--it is just the way it works. For instance, I could tell my Laila to fly to you--it is carrying you back that would be the trick.
