Thawfest : How it should have happened
Intro
Personally, I felt that Astrid and the others were too harsh on Hiccup being a 'lousy winner', resulting in Hiccup letting Snotlout win and that Snotlout should have stood up to his father.

Hiccup's POV
Well... that time of year has come. The Thawfest Games. A chance where young Vikings can prove themselves to their tribe and to themselves. While to some its chance of glory, to others its just a chance of being of humiliated by others. In my case, that other was my own cousin, Snotlout Jorgenson. He had won every Thawfest between the two of us, and he never gave up a chance to rub in my face.
'Hey Hiccup see you at the end of track, eating my dust', yelled my bulkier, more Viking-like cousin before letting a obnoxious laugh and shoving past me knocking me over. The sheep that I had been carrying gave a bored 'baa' and remained lay on my back.
'C'mon Hiccup now, time's a-wasting', barked Gobber, picking me up with ease. Despite his presence being comforting at times, it could be not encouraging at other times. I turned to watch Snotlout chant the father-son chant his dad, Spitelout Jorgenson. He had beaten my dad every Thawfest too, so the rivalry was passed onto the next generation.
But the Jorgenson's could boast and laugh all they wanted, because this year, for the time, we would have Dragons in the Thawfest Games, and I could finally have a chance to shut Snotlout for once and make my Dad and Haddock's proud of me.
I picked up my sheep, hoisted him over my shoulders and began with new determination.
Thought I would start with a short POV to Hiccup's intro to the episode with a more 'Hiccup flair' to it, hope you enjoyed it and look forward to reviews.
