Berk's annual festive sporting competition, the Thawfest games, is underway and all the teens are participating with the dragons for the first time in Viking history. Hiccup is determined to finally best Snotlout, who constantly gloats about being the reigning Thawfest champion, but Hiccup's successes begin to make him arrogant and boastful, much to Astrid's displeasure and disappointment.




* AlwaysSecondBest: To Snotlout in the Thawfest Games. But if this year is the norm, than it can be blamed on the other competitors messing her up.

* CaptainObvious: During the final match of the Thawfest games, Gobber makes obvious commentary on Hiccup's status, which Stoick tells him he knows.

--> '''Astrid:''' You know what I always liked about you, Hiccup? You were always a gracious loser.
* MadeofIron: Takes a giant rock to the face during the tie-breaking event.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone?: Hiccup appears to have a minor version of this just as he was about to beat Snotlout. Realizing what the desire to win was doing to him, he decides to throw the race.
* ShootingGallery: One of the events is a contest where the dragons have to shoot enemy targets while avoiding friendly ones.
* SmoochofVictory: Inverted. Hiccup gets one from Astrid at the end of "Thawfest", though it's for doing the right thing instead of winning (he could have, but threw the match for Snotlout's sake).
* TheRunnerUpTakesItAll: Hiccup intentionally loses to Snotlout in the Thawfest games. Snotlout gets to keep his family's winning streak, while Hiccup gets a secret approving beam from his father and a kiss from Astrid; definitely good consolation prizes.
* UnsportsmanlikeGloating: Snotlout does this after each event he wins during the Thawfest Games.
