Excerpt from: Artifact in Lawndale

“Quinn Morgendorffer,” the one with the long red hair said.

 

“Stacy Rowe,” the one with the brown hair in braids said nervously.

 

“And you are?” Quinn asked.

 

“Agent Myka Bering. We're here to ask about the incident earlier today.”

 

 

Quinn thought about it for a moment. She wasn't sure that she could trust this Agent Myka Bering, or whether she should call her mother first. “Can I call someone?”

 

“You mean, a lawyer?” Myka asked. “It's not that sort of issue.”

 

“It's my Mom, she's a lawyer,” Quinn said.

 

“You can call her,” Myka said.

 

“Myka?” Pete asked.

 

“I'm sure her mother would agree, Pete.”

 

 

“It's Quinn, Helen,” Marianne said.

Excerpt from: Berk in Time

“If they’re that big…” Spitelout mused.

 

“Who knows what they make,” Hiccup said.

 

“You feel some kind of thrumming?” Snotlout asked.

 

“I do,” Hiccup answered. “There may be someone here, operating one of the forges.”

 

Spitelout drew his sword! “I’ll be ready.”

 

“We don’t want to antagonize him,” Hiccup said as the Jorgensons both charged off. “Of course!”

 

 

Back on deck, Fishlegs was thinking. “Obviously there are more dragons on board.”

 

“Over here!” Astrid said. “A nest!”

 

Fishlegs walked over. “Those look like Zippleback eggs.”

 

“Zippleback?” Nefertiti asked.

 

“Our dragon,” Ruffnut explained, pointing to Barf and Belch.

 

“I see,” Nefertiti said.

Excerpt from: A Night at Crewe Neck

“Daria! I’m glad you made it!” She exclaimed. She saw Daria wince a little. ‘Oops!’ she thought. It seemed that Daria was oversensitive to the higher tones in her voice.

 

“Yes, although there are a lot of people,” Daria said.

 

“Yes! Most of the Sophomore and Junior classes are here!”

 

“Including my sister,” Daria commented,

 

“Has she caused trouble?” Brittany asked as she twirled a pigtail.

 

“In the past,” Daria answered. “However, she has turned over a new leaf, so to speak.”
