Chapter 22: Snoggletog ( Part 2 )

It was the next day, and the dragons had yet to return, which saddened everyone on Berk. Frida and Grump were walking with Snotlout and the twins, Frida was pulling Rocky along with her, Rocky had yet to hatch and was in the cradle sled with the small fur blanket wrapped over the egg. Frida then precked up slightly at the scent of something as Astrid ran up to them, she was carrying mugs of something on a shield like it was a tray.

Astrid: Hey, you guys! Try this tasty new beverage I made for the holiday.

Frida had a curious look on her face.

Tuffnut: Ugh! What's that smell? ( To his sister: ) Is that you?

Ruffnut shoved Tuffnut in response.

Astrid: It's Yaknog!

Astrid then pours a mug of the beverage called "yaknog" and Tuffnut stares at it in disgust while Frida looks at it in interest.

Tuffnut: Ugh! If I drink that I'm gonna yak nog all over the place!

Astrid: ( to Tuffnut, threateningly with a smile: ) Maybe you'd rather taste a punch in the face?

Snotlout: Astrid, it sounds delightful. I'd love a mug.

Snotlout grabs the mug and takes a large gulp of the beverage, he gags and forced himself to swallow it. He then hands it to Frida, who looks at the beverage curiously.

Snotlout: You could really taste the yak!

As Fishlegs came up to ask about the beverage, and Snotlout silently telling him not to drink it, Frida sniffs at the drink before taking a drink. She purred happily in response before she drunk the rest of the beverage from the mug, the twins looking at her in pure shock that the lycanwing child liked the Yaknog.

Fishlegs: ( to Astrid: ) Oh, you know, um, I have suddenly and, uh, inexplicably changed my mind.

Astrid: Well, you don't know what you're missing.

Frida: ( with a smile as she gave Astrid the mug back: ) Yeah, it's pretty good. I think Hiccup will like it.

Astrid: Thank you, Frida. I bet he will.

Astrid then took off to find Hiccup. Frida and the others then noticed Snotlout's discomfort as he was holding his stomach.

Ruffnut: Are you crying?

Frida: ( calmly, to Snotlout: ) If you feel like you are going to puke, go find the nearest bush and do it behind that then sit down afterwards.

Snotlout nods his head before walking off to find the nearest bush like Frida said.

Frida: ( sighs ) This is probably going to be the worst time to turn 13... ( Fishlegs and the twins looked at her in shock ) I was really hoping both my dragon and viking families would be here...

Fishlegs: Wait, wait. Repeat that, Frida, you're turning 13?

Frida: Yeah, on Snoggletog, when the moon rises to the middle of the night sky, I will be officially turning 13 whole-season-cycles old. ( Notices the pure shock looks on Fishlegs and the twins' faces ) What?

Fishlegs: Your birthday is on Snoggletog?!

Frida: Yeah, that was what my Mum said.

Tuffnut: Lucky...

Frida: Okay, I'm confused. Isn't it normal for kids to be born on Snoggletog?

Ruffnut: Not really.

Frida: Huh. ( To Grump, as she walks away with Rocky, and Grump follows her: ) Vikings are weird.

( With Hiccup, at the blacksmith, after Astrid ran out of the shop after giving him a mug of Yaknog )

Hiccup spits the Yaknog that was in his mouth onto the floor. He then looked at the new tail fin he'd made for Toothless, so the night fury would be able to fly on his own.

Hiccup: ( sighs ) Now, I just need to think what to get Frida.

( Slight Time Skip )

Frida was in her room looking at Rocky with Grump as they heard the sounds of Toothless jumping on the roof.

Frida: ( to Rocky: ) You'll get used to the sound of your uncle Toothless jumping on the roof, Rocky. Me and your Grandpa Grump are. He does it every morning.

Frida sighs in sadness as there was no response from the egg, and Grump lets out a cough.

Frida: I just wish the whole pack was here. It's kinda like my last Snoggletog with Mum all over again.... but this time, it's my dragons leaving me behind...

Frida then heard something going on outside, and ran out of the house to see Toothless with a new tail fin, flying off into the sky away from Berk.

Hiccup turned and saw the tears in Frida eyes as she watched Toothless fly away.

Frida: He left...

Hiccup: Frida, I'm sure, he'll came back. We just have to have-

Frida: ( with a sad expression as she wipes away her tears: ) ...faith that he'll come back. I know, I'm used to it. I'm going back inside, Rocky and Grump might need me.

Frida then walked back inside, leaving Hiccup confused by what she meant by her being used to it.

Frida went into her room to see Grump sleeping beside Rocky's cradle, and she closed the door behind her before walking to the egg with a sad smile before doing something to try to ignore the sadness she was feeling.

Frida: ( sings softly to Rocky with a sad smile: ) Hey there, little sunshine. How do you do? There's a great tribe, waiting for you! As you lay your tiny head, dream of the world. They're gonna love you, as much as the Mother Lycan does! Little sunshine, little sunshine, let your radiance show! Little sunshine, little sunshine, let your brave heart glow!

As Frida sang, Hiccup quietly opened the door as he wanted to check on Frida, but he stopped once he heard the young lycanwing sing to the dragon egg.

Frida: ( sings softly to Rocky: ) Though the darkness may surround you, you will stand strong. Your little spark of love, will cast away their hate! Know that you're not alone, the dragons' at your side. Together you'll free the world, you'll always be my pride!

Frida then turned into a dragon as she continued to sing to Rocky with a sad smile, not noticing Hiccup's presence.

Frida: ( sings softly to Rocky: ) Little sunshine, little sunshine, let your radiance show! Little sunshine, little sunshine, let your brave heart glow! I may not always be here, to guide your way... But I know you'll be fine, at the gods' guidance... Dance among the clouds, my dear. Remember the light. Be good for me, my dear. As my soul alights... Little sunshine, little sunshine, let your radiance show! Little sunshine, little sunshine, let your brave heart glow!

Once Frida finished the song, she turned and saw Hiccup.

Frida: Oh, sorry, I was just singing Rocky...an old song...

Hiccup: It's alright, Frida. Where did-

Frida: My Mum used to sing it to me before she... left. I'm going to go to bed early, okay?

Hiccup: Okay... Goodnight.

Frida: Night...

Hiccup then walked out of the room with a sad look on his face as he heard Frida climbed to her hammock.

Hiccup: ( sighs ) ( quietly: ) I hope the dragons will come back soon...
