[Oh hey look! It's a video from Hic-

NOPE JUST KIDDING IT'S FEARLESS.]

Ey' folks! Betcha ya thought we was dead again, huh? Not this time! Hic just fell asleep for a month.

Fearless.

Ooor we can be lame and tell the truth!

Naaah, we just needed ta'get away from town for a while. Yaknow, clear our heads and junk. I mean I'm pretty sure dyin' kinda takes a toll on a guy, don'tcha think? We weren't alone or sucked off by some data stream this time, at least. Nah, we had BWG with us!

[From the corner of the feed Kotemon can be seen, cautiously patting Fearless' side.]

So um....he's...um....our friend now, right?

You kiddin'? BWG was always our friend kid!

[Wow ok, looks like someone got over their paralyzing BlackWargreymon fear.]

BWG's my man, I'll tell ya that much! Now see I just gotta get workin' on gettin' ta' Ultimate...

But anyways, so what'd we miss?

[Hiccup can be heard groaning from the other end of the room as he tinkers with his leg with a screwdriver.]

You know, I'm pretty sure they want to talk to me, not you.

Says you!

[Well in your defense, Hiccup you kind of...died. Can't help losing it after that.]

's fine. At least ya used it when ya should've.

[There's a soft smirk, tucking it back in his jacket.]

I'll bring it to ya.

Thanks. I'll...make sure I don't lose it this time.

[Here's hoping he doesn't HAVE to use it again, either.]

Good. Cause I'm hopin' somethin' like that doesn't happen again.

[But that's a topic they shouldn't stray near so soon.]

So...take it Fearless is back to normal.

Yep. ..Though he did get himself killed again, but that was his own fault.

[Maybe one day his seal thing will learn to keep his big mouth shut.]

Just my opinion here, but pint-size oughta try his hand at actually livin'.

[More directed at Fearless--bro, you need some self preservation skills. There's a soft shrug at that though, at least glad to see that the two are alright.]

Gotta ask you somethin', kid. It's pretty out of the mine and into the forge but I think you'd know.

[Plus, he trusts your judgement.]

Mm? Ok...what is it?

[Well now he's curious. What's on your mind, not!dad?]

People keep mentionin' Christmas. Know anythin' about it?

[Because...he hates not being in the know.]

Well....me and Fluttershy talked about it a bit, and apparently it's....somewhat similar to my Snoggletog back home.

What, ya just give people things for no reason?

[A blunt way of putting it, but yes, Wheeljack.]

Can't ya do that all the time?

[Hiccup smiles a little at that.]

I guess so. I think it...means something when you do it around holidays like this, though.

Huh.

So uh...everyone does it, I guess.

[That means he's got some work to do.].

[SHRUG.]

I guess. I was kinda surprised to see anything like this here....though it's a little more....

...decorated than I'm used to.

I heard somethin' about trees.

That ring any bells to ya?

[Teach him the magic of Snoggletog, Hiccup.]

You mean....putting up a tree inside and decorating it?

[Snoggletog actually has that, if you'd believe it.]

I'm guessin' that's it. Sora mentioned a tree.

How many traditions can ya humans have that involve a tree.

[Oh...you know...just Arbor day.]

[Hiccup chuckles, shrugging a bit.]

Quite a few, apparently.

Can't say I can tell the difference.

[He gestures to...well, nothing at all, but let's just pretend.]

Tree.

[That hand moves a few feet to the right.]

Bigger tree.

Yep. Getting a big tree and putting some decorations on it seems to just change everything.

[Can't exactly tell if he's being sarcastic or trying to be humorous, but let's....just pretend.]
