"GOOOOD MORNING DRAGON'S EDGE!"

Sun woke up to the crazy-happy sound of Daggur's voice and once again regretted building the alarm horn at the top of the Edge where Daggur could wake everyone up with his annoying voice every morning.

Nightstalker groaned and covered his ear flaps with his paws, Sun wanting to do the same.

"Come on bud, you know he's not going to stop until someone shut's him up-"

"DAGGUR! SHUT UP AND GO TO BED! IT'S SUNRISE, FOR FREYA'S SAKE!" That was Minden in the background that the megaphone caught and amplified all throughout their base.

Daggur stopped yelling and his voice changed to a reasonable level, although everyone could still here it. "Why are you up then? Shouldn't you be in bed as well?" he taunted.

"No you muttonhead, I had dawn patrol this morning. In all honesty, I'm only saving your butt so no one is grouchy later. But that's already too late, so have fun getting your butt kicked by your sister," With that Minden stopped talking, and Sun chuckled, knowing it was going to be interesting at the clubhouse later.

"Can we go back to sleeeep? I was having an awesome dream about fish until a giant eel that sounded like that idiot came and gobbled them all up."

Sun tried to contain his laughter, and failed quite miserably.  "Sure, I'm probably going to do so as well. Because as soon as we really get up we're going to actually have to deal with life."

"Can we not just take the day off-" "

Bud, we're Dragon Riders. That's, like, not possible."

"But can we go somewhere by ourselves for once? It's been forever since me and you just went for a fly. AND it's the day." Toothless added, and Hiccup finally woke up his brain.

"Is it really? I thought it was in a day or two..."

"No you fishbone, it's today. Just like it was last year, and the year before." Toothless remarked, and Hiccup punched the Night Fury lightly.

"Yeah yeah yeah, I get it. But five years, has it really been that long? I seriously can't remember what Berk looks like anymore." Toothless snorted.

"I still think it would be better if you never remembered. We could be like Eret, not a care in the world as to our pasts and only focused on our future dates."

"For the LAST time Toothless! I do NOT like any of the girls! If I liked Heather, Daggur would kill me. If I liked Mala, Throck would kill me. If I liked Minden, her Razorwhip would kill me!"

"Even if she doesn't-"

"What are you talking about?"

"Oh blast."

"Oh shoot." Both the Rider and Dragon said at the same time.

"You both seem to forget I can speak Dragonese as well, knuckleheads." Minden teased in Dragonese, making the other two laugh. "Sorry to disappoint Sun, but there is no crushing going on any way here with the Riders. Except with Eret and his "associate" or whoever it is he constantly talks about, because I'm pretty sure that's real." Ameris continued, and Sun started to get nervous.

"Oh, ah, what are you talking about? We weren't talking about that haha..."

"Riiigghhtt. And black sheep don't fly out of catapults."

"I wish they did. That would be an AWESOME game of catch."

Minden and Sun laughed at Nightstalker's comment.

"Very true, N. Anyway, wanted to let you know there was a few ships on the horizon. Really far, and didn't seem to be heading this way." the Wingmaiden reported.

"Thanks Min! Now go get some sleep." Sun thanked.

"Are you serious? Not with Daggur's wake up call. I'll go make breakfast or something like that."

Yes! Sun cheered in his mind. Although Heather was the best chef on the Edge, Minden when at her home village was immediately nominated the one who cooks breakfast and deserts because of her sweet skills.

Nightstalker perked up as well. "There'll be things for dragons, right?"

Minden snorted. "Of course N. I'm not a Wingmaiden for nothing." With that the ironically dragonless Rider scurried off to start making whatever she was making for breakfast.

"You've gotta love that girl's dragonnip biscuits," Nightstalker sighed happily, clearly thinking of the food that was coming later.

"Oh come on bud, it's always food with you! After we get the Edge moving then we'll take the day off, okay bud?" Toothless shrugged his wings and got up, stretching his wings.

"But dragonnip biscuits first. Those things are to DIE for!"

"Um, Minden, you're baked goods seem to be burning." Viggo pointed to the fire that had black smoke starting to come out of it.

"NOOO! Dang it! Those are the dragonnip biscuits!" she cried and grabbed them out of the fire with a special mit they had invented.

The dragons started freaking out, and Minden put the sindged cookies on the shelf she and Heather had made next to the oven. The two girls had totally specialized the kitchen, with different places for doing different things in baking and cooking. The kitchen was Heather's ultimate domain, anyone who got in the way would pay with a horrible dinner for everyone.

"Goodness, calm down, they're only slightly burnt." Minden scolded the dragons, tossing one to each of the dragons or dragon heads.

"Nice save, newbie." Heather joked.

"Hey, I still have yet to burn my stuff to a crisp or to burn the clubhouse down, that's more than others can say," the Wingmaiden retorted, looking at both the Berserker siblings this time.

"Why do you always look at me when you say that? That was one time! And I was helping my dear sister start the oven! Isn't that right, Heather?" Daggur complained, trying to be innocent.

"If I remember it correctly, you had Shattermaster pour lava straight onto the wooden floor when you were trying to show off. I really don't think that counts as helping." Heather recounted, sounding as if she were considering it sarcastically.

"Well, no one's killed anyone yet." Nightstalker commented as he fully expects someone to have every morning.

"Although I did have to make sure Viggo didn't stab Daggur in the back with his fork this morning though," Ryker called.

"What now?" Sun demanded, actually entering the clubhouse and seeing Daggur's and Viggo's both dismayed face.

"I did not!"

"You did what?!"

The two accused looked to each other, baffled, and everyone else started laughing, clearly realizing it was a joke.

Heather laughed and clapped. "Well played!" Ryker nodded approvingly at his work while his brother glared at him and Minden rolled her eyes and poured some hot water into bowls of home-grown oats.

"Oatmeal? I thought you said you were making breakfast." Heather questioned when she noticed, sounding disappointed.

"Well, somehow word got out that I had promised Nightstalker dragonnip biscuits, and they wouldn't bugging me until I made them. I WAS planning on making monkey bread." Minden explained, and all the Riders turned and shot a quick glare at their dragons.

"Are you still making it?" Ryker asked. The current occupant of the kitchen shrugged.

"Depends. Do we have time for that, Sun?" all eyes turned hopefully onto Sun for the hope of monkey bread, a delicacy Viggo had introduced but only Minden's version was preferred. Sun's stomach growled, and the leader of the Dragon Riders shrugged.

"Sure. Me and Toothless have something planned today, so it's kind of a free day." he stated, and the kitchen girl nodded and started preparing the dough she must have made a few hours earlier.

Each of the Riders' eyes lit up excitedly, and the rest of them started discussing what they were going to do.

"Yo dragons, head's up!" Minden called and chucked a group of a pale, stiff grass at the dragons.

"Minden no!" Sun called, and she laughed as soon as the dragons sniffed the dragonnip they started going crazy.

"Really?"

"What? They always get the leftover dragonnip whenever I make dragonnip biscuits."

Hiccup rolled his eyes and sat down next to the other Riders, immediately deep in thought about what this date meant for Toothless and himself.

"Sun, is everything alright?" Viggo asked after a while of him not talking. "What? Oh, yeah, I'm fine. Just thinking..."

"Is something going on today?" Minden asked, poking her head over the counter.

"Yeah yeah, today's just... an interesting day for me and Toothless." at the use of Toothless's real name, it clicked in everyone's mind that it was significant.

"Is it B-Day?" Heather asked quietly.

Hiccup shrugged. "Toothless says it is. It's in the past, guys, geez. Toothless just asked to take the day off for it being just the two of us, nothing more. We're NOT going back to Berk." He scowled at the name.

This was a usual thing for this day of the year, the Riders all worrying that Hiccup could do a doubletake and suddenly want to go back to the place that had kicked him out and threatened to kill him of they saw him again.

The other Riders turned back to their conversations, although their mood had significantly dimmed.

"They're worried for you. Be glad you have real friends that actually care." Toothless reminded, coming up underneath and lifting up Hiccup's arm.

"Yeah, yeah, I know. You ready to go?" Hiccup asked.

"Depends if you want your human treat or not."

"I can wait."

"You sure? You can really use it, fishbone."

"Ha ha, hilarious. Min, mind saving some for me once it's done?" Sun called to her. She saluted and smiled as she turned to put the finger-food cakes into the oven.

"Have fun you two knuckleheads!"

"Shut up Minden!"
