AN: This is sort of a HiJack story set in the Corpse Bride's world. The 'Land of the Dead' is where all spirits and corpses live, including Jack and the other guardians. Also, I'm taking an idea from Eragon. If a dragon becomes a humans familiar, (which Toothless is Hiccups) and the dragon dies, the human lives. But if the human dies, so dose the dragon. You will need to know this later, and you will thank me for this AN.

Hiccup Haddock was, on no uncertain terms, a disappointment. He was scrawny, weak, and clumsy; all in all, very un-Viking like. He had a grand total of two friends, and even that was forbidden. Hiccup was friends with a dragon, the Viking's sworn enemy! His only other friend was kind of...well... dead!

Hiccup stormed into the cove mumbling obstinacies under his breath. Toothless could smell his riders rage and fear from a mile away. The Night Fury nuzzled Hiccup, and he visibly calmed at the touch. Hiccup sat on a near by rock, still scratching Toothless behind his ears.

"Oh, what am I going to do?"

"What are you going to do about what?"

Hiccup looked up and smiled at a very familiar winter spirit. Jack Frost was the closest to a human friend Hiccup had ever had... Well, I mean he used to be human before he died, which is more than can be said about Toothless.

"Jack!" Hiccup exclaimed.

"In the flesh... sort of..."

Hiccup shook his head at the overused, comical greeting. His face fell again as he remembered why he was so upset in the first place.

"What's wrong?" Jack questioned.

Hiccup was never one to open up instantly, he preferred to hide his emotions behind a mask of indifference.

"Nothing," he muttered.

Jack knew how bad it was to keep your emotions bottled up. His fellow winter spirit Elsa had tried to do that once, and failed miserably... In the aftermath of that melt down there was a frozen continent at the bottom of the Earth!

Luckily, Jack could read Hiccup like an open book!

"... It's about your father again, isn't it?"

Hiccup nodded. Jack wrapped his arms around Hiccup, as his mask of indifference slipped. That mask only slipped around Jack and Toothless. Hiccup began to cry on Jacks shoulder, wile Toothless wrapped around the pair protectively.

"H-He's making me git..." Hiccup sobbed.

"What?"

"M-M-M-M-Married!"

The horror was evident on both boys faces, as Jack asked in a whisper, "To who?"

"Astrid Hofferson."

Hiccup shook violently at the mention of his bride to be.

"J-Jack, I-I don't want to marry Astrid! She hates me, and I don't love her! I don't want to live the rest of my life with someone who's just going to torment me the whole time!"

"Shhh," Jack rubbed soothing circles on Hiccups back, but in truth he was heart broken! The two had confessed there love for each other a wile back, so the marriage was a big slap in the face to both of them.

After a wile Hiccup had to leave for the wedding rehearsal, and Jack went to visit a friend down under... and maybe try to drown his sorrows at the tavern where she worked.

Jack sat his mug down on the bar in front of the red headed bartender.

"I just don't know what to do Merida... I love him so much!" Jack said, half drunk, but still sober enough to remember the conversation later.

"Well..." The bartender, Merida, said. "Me mother always said, 'If ya love somethin', set it free!'"

"But if I let him marry that girl, he'll be miserable for the rest of his life!" Jack sobbed.

"Did what I said just go in one ear an' out the other?!"

Jack looked up to see Merida cleaning a mug with a towel. "What do you mean?" he asked confused.

"Were ya dropped on yer head as an infant, or were ya just born stupid?"

Jack looked annoyed at the statement, but wasn't sober enough to make a comeback.

"Now did I say let 'em git married? No! I said set 'em free!"

Jack snapped into sobriety at the implication.

"So you mean take him here? To the 'Land of the Dead?'"

Merida smiled and nodded her head.

"But he's alive! I would either need to kill him, or git him to marry me! I would never hurt Hiccup! And he'll never marry me... But... maybe... I got to go! Thanks for the hope on the rocks Red!"

Jack stood up and ran out of the tavern. He had to find his Hiccup!
