4.Book of Dragons
[Scene cuts to Hiccup trekking through the forest again]
Hiccup: [weighing the bola with his hands] So, why didn't you?
[Hiccup enters a cove, surveying its emptiness]
Hiccup (cont.): Well, this was stupid. (He finds some shiny black dragon scales on the floor. He picks one up.)
[The Night Fury swoops past him, but falls back onto the ground, trying to settle down on the cove. Hiccup hides at the entrance and tries to make a sketch of it]
Hiccup (cont.) Why don't you just... fly away?
[As he makes a sketch, he notices the Night Fury is missing one of its tail fins. He erases the fin on his drawing but he slips and drops his pencil, drawing the Night Fury's attention. It stares up at him in recognition.]
[Scene cuts to the Meade Hall]
Gobber (o.s.): Alright. Where did Astrid go wrong in the ring today?
Astrid: I mistimed my somersault dive. It was sloppy. It threw off my reverse tumble.
Damian: It's Alright Sis. You'll Get Another Chance.
Ruffnut: [Sarcastically] Yeah, we noticed.
Snotlout: No, no, you were great. That was so "Astrid".
Gobber: She's right, you have to be tough on yourselves. Where did Hiccup go wrong?
Ruffnut: Uh, he showed up?
Tuffnut: He didn't get eaten.
Astrid: He's never where he should be.
Gobber: Thank you, Astrid. You need to live and breathe this stuff. The Dragon Manual. Everything we know about every dragon we know of.
[Thunder roars]
Gobber (cont.): No attacks tonight. Study up.
Tuffnut: Wait, you mean, read?
Ruffnut: While we're still alive?
Snotlout: Why read words when you can just kill the stuff the words tell you stuff about?
Fishlegs: Oh! I've read it like, seven times. There's this water dragon that sprays boiling water at your face. And--And there's this other one that buries itself for like a week--
Tuffnut: Yeah, that sounds great. See, there was a chance I was going to read that...
Ruffnut: ...But, now...
Snotlout: You guys read, I'll go kill stuff.
Fishlegs: Oh, and there's this other one that has these spines that look like trees...
Hiccup: So I guess we'll share?
Jenny:I Don't Mind.
Astrid: Read it.
Damian: Me Too.
[The teens leave Hiccup And Jenny alone in the hall.]
Hiccup: All Ours then. Wow, okay. So, we'll see you, uh... [Door slams] tomorrow.
[they flip open the book, reading its contents]
Hiccup: Dragon classifications. Strike Class, Fear Class, Mystery Class.

Size, unknown. The unholy offspring of lightning and death itself. Never engage this dragon. Your only chance: Hide and pray it does not find you.
Jenny:Wait,That's The Dragon You Found In The Forest, Right Bro?
Hiccup: Yep.
Jenny: *Thoughts* Wonder Why The Book Doesn't Have Anything On Night Furies?
