The universe of How to Train Your Dragon presents a colourful and complex world where humans and dragons live in harmony. In this fanfiction, we explore a meta scenario where characters from the franchise watch the second movie. The story will be segmented into numerous sections, each dealing with a particular aspect of the viewing experience. Let's delve straight into the story.

1. The Mystery Bundle

Our story begins with a mysterious arrival of an unidentified package in the Hairy Hooligan Tribe. Stoick, the tribe leader, unveils a peculiar device, a projector, and a sealed bundle, a box of the movie How to Train Your Dragon 2. While none of the Vikings have heard of a "movie" before, their curiosity is piqued.

2. The Experience Theater

With the projector set, they decide to create a makeshift "theater", consisting of large animal hides pinned up forming a giant screen, and rows of benches borrowed from Gobber's forge. The atmosphere is that of excitement and unknown adventure, as villagers gather around the screen, whispering and waiting.

3. Gobber as Tech Support

None of the Vikings have ever encountered such technology before. Funny moments occur as Gobber, with his array of interchangeable prosthetic hands, attempts to operate the projector. Through a series of failed attempts, wrong button presses and hilarious outcomes, the movie is accidentally, but successfully started.

4. The Movie Begins

The Vikings gasp in shock as they see moving images appear on the screen, something they'd never seen or thought possible. Their gasps turn to sheer fascination as they watch the opening sequence of flying dragons and Vikings living in harmony, a future journey unfolding before their eyes.

5. Hiccup and Toothless

Hiccup and Toothless' bond becomes clearer as the characters watch their future selves protect and understand each other on an unimaginable level. The characters react differently to seeing their maturation. Hiccup's deep sense of awe, stoick's fatherly pride and Astrid's hidden excitement all blended into a bag of mixed emotions.

6. Recognizing Themselves

Hearing their own voices, witnessing their own actions, and recognizing their own faces on the screen would initially bewilder the characters. Some, like Snotlout and the twins, would be over-the-top excited, while others, like Hiccup and Astrid, would be a bit more introspective.

7. Reflections and Revelations

This viewing experience will allow the characters to reflect on their actions and behavior as they see it from an observer's perspective. This leads to some heartwarming, humorous and even confronting moments for many characters.

8. Reactions to the Downfall

The moment Stoick meets his demise in the movie is bound to be an emotional roller coaster for the viewers. Stunned silence and tears would fill the theater as they watch Stoick sacrifice himself to protect his son.

9. The Ending - A New Alpha

The movie ends on a high note, with Hiccup being chosen as the new chief and Toothless as the Alpha of the dragons. The Vikings would cheer for the happy ending, despite their previous teary-eyed moment.

Conclusion

This fanfiction scenario presents an opportunity for introspection for the characters, and also a sense of what is to come. Things will not be the same after watching the movie; the Vikings will have a greater understanding of themselves and of the future that awaits them.
