Hey. Ah. I know everyone else has been doing this lately, but...I guess we all have to say something, huh?

[Hiccup looks away from the feed for a moment, visibly torn between what he should be doing. At the same time, there's this sense of unwavering resolve that comes to the surface.]

Guys? [Hesitation gets to him, but he pushes to continue.] I gotta go. [He strokes Toothless' head.] We need to go back.

The last time I went home, I came upon a very big, terrible discovery. And this happened the night before the final dragon test I have to go through. I know what happens. Astrid told me. I just...I have to go through with it, you know?

[Toothless gives the boy a nudge. A low gurgling purr clutters the sound for a moment. Hiccup laughs weakly, regaining his balance before looking back at the feed.]

So... [He draws in a quick breath, puffing out his cheeks.] That's it.

...Astrid?

[There was a delay as the NV tried to fix things himself. He even tried taking his case to his master Xemnas, but all of the questions led to a near manual shut-down experience.

The messages come back.]

[Oh hey, it's Hiccup. 'Sup. It looks like he's partially distracted, but he glances over at the NV.]

So. I know it's late, and not many people care, but...I've been thinking. And yeah, lots of people think stuff, that's nothing new. [He pauses, looking down at something for a moment.] But...this one's kinda, I dunno, important? Because...I totally missed the actual anniversary date of my arrival– well, re-arrival. Here.

[Pause. A glance back at the device.]

Which wasn't a fun day, by the way...

[As he trails off, he looks down again, squinting this time.]

...Roll out your dough. Make sure you set oven to 400 degrees.

[It's at this point that a large black shape obstructs the screen, fogging it up with a snort before the whole thing shudders. When Toothless pulls his head back, the camera's been compromised, now showing more of the counter where Hiccup works with...pizza dough?]

Hey, Toothless– [Hiccup snorts, shaking his head as he continues reading:] Flatten to...edges of the pan–

[The dragon looks from Hiccup to the blobby substance on the tray, then pulls himself up so he can set down both forepawsclaws on the thing.

The boy gapes, staring at the now-flattened dough before looking at his dragon buddy.
]


...I really hope your hands were clean.

[Blinking large green eyes, Toothless peers down at his paws, lifting them (and revealing slightly dingy, doughy clawprints). He immediately slips them back past the edge of the table, looking at Hiccup as his mouth quirks to one side in that awkward, gummy smile of his.

After they maintain this silence for a bit, Hiccup gives a resigned sigh.

Eh, this wouldn't be the worst thing I've eaten.

[Ichigo looks annoyed as he sits at his kitchen table, wearing his Portside dojo shirt having just come from work.]

Y'know I'm getting pissed that these M.A.N. people are running around labelling every Newcomer they see as some kinda sicko who wants to do godawful shit to their kids. It's like they've forgotten that it was Newcomers who went out and found that missing kid last year, or that they've been happy letting their kids take classes for six months from a Newcomer but now, because some bigot's got it in her head that we're all sick bastards, they're gonna take their kids out of classes until they fire the guy teaching them because he's a Newcomer.

[He checks himself because he's doing the same thing that they're doing.]

What the hell more do they want from us?

Well, that was interesting.

I can handle skipping around in a multiverse setting. I've done it before but never quiet so... unexpectedly. And coming back the same way. I don't know what to say except, that was strange.

Is everyone all right?

Does anyone know where we WERE?

I'd have more information if I'd been able to fly over, but I couldn't.
