this is my first hijack story, I really liked the idea of Jack and Hiccup growning up together sort of, this is a one shot unless reviews are good...I really hope they are cuz I didnt even get much into the hijack part...

I do not own the characters or Rise of the Guardians or How to Train Your Dragon, no copyright infringment intended... this is a pathetic disclaimer...


Berk was filled with noise, Hiccup had just set fire to the shop by accident of course but one of the villagers mistook it for a dragon attack and had Hiccup sent back into the house in the blink of an eye.

Hiccup groaned the entire way trying to explain his side to Stoickwho was in no mood to listen; he wasn't ever but Hiccup knew especially since his guests were coming to Berk; to be exact his father's friend and her two children along with several others from other family lines.

Sonna was his mother's best friend. Hiccup never knew his mother but he knew from letters that Sonna was identical in personality. Stoickwould always fret about the little details when they visited, hoping to appear less clumsy or less agitated than he actually was but he never pulled it off. Sonna usually pushed past the curtain he tried to hide behind along with helping the mess rather than criticize it. Sonna had lost her husband a year after Emily was born; Jack was around eleven years old.

Hiccup was turning seventeen in around a month, he was optimistic that maybe Sonna, Emily and Jack would be able to stay right up until his birthday to celebrate with him since the trips to Berk were very costly and time consuming...that was why it was such a rare opportunity for his family to visit. He climbed the crowded stairs trying not to knock over anything and cause more of a mess. Once he reached his bed he collapsed on it trying to ignore the thought of Stoickmuting him once again and the entire village of people watching him being scolded like a bad dog or a nuisance of a pet.

He recalled the last time his friends had visited and Sonna had sent him along with Jack and Emily tagged along even though she was very young. She was at least ten or nine years younger than Jack. For some strange reason most of the younger kids were drawn to Jack; he had this glow whenever he was around the younglings and he always knew how to make them smile, laugh and enjoy themselves. Sometimes Hiccup was part of that feeling and he longed for the comfort of someone who understood what it felt like to be silenced. Jack was only three months older than him, although he had celebrated his seventeenth birthday away from Berk; Hiccup still had prepared a present for him when he would visit next. Sonna also had a side that was difficult to see; Jack was often scolded for being enthusiastic, playful and more like a child tricking people than anything. Mischief seemed to follow Jack whether he meant it or not. That alone made the visits easier for the both of them. Someone to talk to who understood exactly, who wouldn't roll their eyes as you protested your opinion.

Jack and Hiccup actually looked like brothers almost. Jack was taller by an inch which he took a lot of pride in. He was a little thinner than Hiccup and had the same brown hair as well as Emily. The only difference was their facial features, Jack's were a little more upright it seemed...elfish or like an imp. His eyes matched the same Chestnut brown as Emily's while Hiccups were his father's emerald green.

Hiccup almost shrieked at the door as a loud knock came. He fumbled down the stairs. "Just a second!" He called out nervously.

He knew it wasn't his father unless he was carrying a load of timber for the fire which was unlikely due to the short time since he had scolded him and shamed him into the house.

Hiccup opened the door to see Sonna scolding Jack for not wearing shoes while Emily was giggling and smelling some flowers by the steps.

"Hey Sonna." Hiccup coughed awkwardly, he also wanted to bail out his friend on a lecture that was seemingly pointless. Jack would rarely wear shoes, he loved bare feet and Hiccup viewed it as the same logic that Gobber claimed; that trolls stole shoes and socks...

Sonna was caught off guard and stopped mid-lecture. "Hello Hiccup, how are you?" She asked bringing him in for a hug.

Jack grinned, "Tripped over the wrong foot today?" He was referring to any event in which Hiccup screwed up enough to be sent to the house to be out of Stoek's hair.

Hiccup raised an eyebrow, "But I didn't do it barefooted."

Jack lowered his head as Sonna pointed back to Jack. "We will continue this later, go help Hiccup with his chores; I'll go find Stoek."

Emily squealed as a butterfly tickled her ear, she ran over to hold Sonna's hand as they left the two friends.

Jack walked past Hiccup who held the door open almost woefully.

"I'd ask why the long face but I remember that runs in your family." Jack commented as Hiccup tried taking the clutter away from the staircase.

"Yeah well just another one sided conversation about my flimsy and boneless back." Hiccup sighed.

Jack chuckled, "Happy belated birthday bud." He pulled out a small box which Hiccup took with a smile.

He opened it and suddenly the lid sprang open and out popped a puppet. Hiccup jumped back as Jack began to laugh hysterically.

"Ah, I get it you wanted me to soil myself." Hiccup said sarcastically.

Jack wiped a tear from his eye, "Well since I don't visit often whenever you need Jack," He gestured to himself, "you can have this Jack-in-a-box!" He was very pleased with his play on words where as Hiccup was not as enthused.

"Well thanks; I might just keep this for another five minutes." Hiccup joked.

Jack rolled his eyes, "Alright that was just a joke, here's your actual present you old grump."

Hiccup hesitated as Jack handed him a cloth covered object. Hiccup sighed deeply and grabbed it hoping nothing would jump out at him again but surprisingly Jack was truthful. When he pulled off the cloth wrapped around the present he saw a whole stack of sketches. The first one looked like some kind of shooting mechanism for long distance, the second looked like blacksmith tutoring instructions for very unique tailored devices and the last one was of a bladed shoe.

"That last one is called a skate, you go on the ice covered ponds and you got yourself another activity that requires next to no effort. It's actually really popular back home." He added.

Hiccup smiled, "thanks, these are great...even if they are a month ahead of schedule."

Jack huffed, "So what, look at them, they're breakthroughs, things that others will take years to figure out through pure accident!"

Hiccup lowered his brow. "Jack, where did you get these?"

Jack didn't respond he merely walked away to the fire and began to poke at it, "How's the dragon thing coming along, I heard three more buildings had to be replaced last spring."

Hiccup sighed, "Jack did you steal these?"

Jack looked back and then his eyes lowered, "they were my dad's...he has a lot of stuff that mom won't get rid of... I just thought you would actually be able to put them to use."

Hiccup folded the papers and put them on the desk under his book so his father didn't ask questions or recognize them from where Jack said they came from.

"We've been lucky...the dragons haven't returned in a few months..." Hiccup said in attempt to change the downing subject.

Jack let out a short laugh, "Yeah, I still can't believe Stoick has a dragon cage for training; back home all I have to do is babysit the kids and heard the sheep no fire, no giant claws or dragons involved."

Hiccup sat down on the desk chair and Jack leaned against the table.

He sighed, "Well you like babysitting and playing with the kids so that doesn't seem like a strain as much as me being placed in a blacksmith's shop rather than dragon training. It makes me the laughing stock and even more so knowing that Stoick was just a baby when he killed his first dragon!"

Jack nodded sympathetically. "At least you're getting familiar with tools, I bet no one else in the village can molt steel or sharpen a sword without your help. You're different from the herd at least."

Hiccup rolled his eyes, "Gobber is three times the blacksmith I am, and no one else looks at me like one; they look at me like a caged baby, and that if I get lose bad things happen."

"You'll have your chance you just have to be ready because you'll see it when it's there."

"I just need to make my mark, my life would get infinitely better and I might even get a date." Hiccup ranted.

Jack laughed, "You got eyes on someone?"

Hiccup's eyes narrowed, "Don't bother."

"What's her name? Have you talked to her?" Jack asked with an entertained smile showing that he loved being a little bit of a pest.

Hiccup rubbed his forehead, "Her name is Astrid...and no I haven't talked to her; she along with most of the others are busy putting out fires or training in the arena while I'm in the shop smelting metal."

Jack stood up straight and bumped Hiccup's elbow, "Well there you go, and you're not making yourself available! Just once when the dragons attack and Gobber is out give her one of the inventions there," Jack referred to the papers under Hiccup's book, "once she knows how crafty you are she'd start to pay attention more!"

Hiccup raised an eyebrow, "And then what?"

Jack let out a short laugh, "then get resourceful, you don't have to fight dragons to impress her you just have to give her a chance to see what she's missing."

Hiccup groaned, "But she isn't missing anything, her job is so much cooler and no one in Berk has gone without fighting a dragon, maybe girls throw themselves on you when you're out there herding the sheep but not here."

Jack rolled his eyes, "Hey, the only time girls notice me is when I'm looking after their younger siblings and even then it's hard to fall for a guy who walks around counting sheep in the hottest or coldest of 18 hour days."

Hiccup nodded solemnly. "I hear ya, what are the other kids your age doing instead?"

Jack shrugged, "Most of them," He looked up to the ceiling and returned his gaze to the fire when he sat on the stairs. "yeah about every girl is making meals, sewing, candle making, reading books, the guys are mostly chopping lumber and hunting...some even get to venture out to the neighbouring kingdom-."

"So I take it sheep herding isn't popular." Hiccup sarcastically commented.

"Did you know there are two kingdoms near the town I live in? I've heard one is just passed the forest clearing and it's huge. Walls, towers, stables with the finest horse's one can get. But both have issues, each royal family is weird. The one kingdom has a royal family with four heirs, and the other kingdom is the one surrounded by a river and a lake. That's the one with the lantern ceremony."

Hiccup nodded, "Oh yeah, the lost princess."

"You don't actually believe there was a magical flower do you?"

Hiccup picked at the desk, "No it was probably some medicine or herbs from the area, just a plant they thought was really nice and added the magical note for kids too young to understand death."

Jack frowned, "you don't believe in any folk tales?"

"Well-" Hiccup gestured towards the shield. "I know there are dragons, I've seen them; trolls maybe...I haven't found one yet though...but you do?"

"I would like to, I mean it gives me a feeling that there's something watching over...I don't know..." He stood as he paced near the bookshelf. "I just think that with so much to lose there has to be something that can balance it...like how there's a moon for the sun, stars for the sky, land for the water."

The door opened, Emily came running in holding some flowers, "Hiccup, here you go!"

Hiccup smiled, "Thanks Em."

"Happy birthday." Emily hugged Hiccup and then turned to Sonna who was talking to Stoick about someone who could shovel dirt for the animal's leavings...

Jack and Hiccup exchanged a horrified look knowing fully that if they stuck around that they'd be promoted to poop shovelers.

Jack saved the day as he and Hiccup headed for the door.

Sonna frowned disengaging from her conversation. "And just where are you two going?"

Hiccup stuttered. "Uh..."

Jack simply let it the question roll off his back. "Well I wanted to try out the skates with Hiccup." He pulled of the innocent reply flawlessly and Hiccup let out a sigh knowing they had a chance to escape the degrading horror of poop shoveling. They would probably have to clean up the dragon's leavings too and Hiccup could barely fight a dragon rather maneuver around one to pick up a giant eight pound...yeah it wasn't a pleasant idea.

"Alright, at least take Emily with you." Sonna crossed her arms.

Emily darted out of the house excitedly. She was holding the two pairs of skates that they had brought from their home.

Hiccup gestured towards the blacksmith shop, "Yup, I just have to get my pair...they're in the shop." He backed away a little while Sonna entered the house. Stoick still glared at his son, "Stay out of trouble Hiccup."

Sonna peeked out her head from the doorway, "you too Jack, I don't want you coming back after sun set...make sure there's plenty of daylight."

Jack and Emily nodded, Emily began pulling Jack's arm and Jack laughed lightheartedly while he put on his short and worn, brown cloak. He looked to Hiccup, "See you there."

He was led away by Emily as Hiccup went off to the shop. He tried to be quick but he had been searching for awhile and all he could find was the old pair of Gobber's skates. He shrugged and slung them over his shoulder as he ran into the forest to the closest pond he could think of.

As he neared the pond he sat down to tie his skates and groaned as the laces snapped, the blade was loose too and wouldn't hold his weight without breaking off. He looked up to Jack and Emily, "Skates broken."

He frowned as he noticed Jack's skates were off, his bare feet on the ice kneeling in a fashion so that he could lean towards Emily who was on the ice a little ways away with her skates on.

"I'm scared Jack!" She worried, she sounded like she was going to cry.

Jack looked desperate, "We're going to play a game, just trust me...try to get a little closer to me."

Emily's wide eyes starred back into Jack's. "No, you always play tricks, Jack you always do!"

Jack looked at the ice as a crack echoed, Hiccup inhaled sharply...the pond's ice was too thin...

"Well not this time, you have to trust me, hey..." He got Emily to stop shaking as he grabbed his herding staff to reach her, "it's going to be alright, you have to trust me..." The ice underneath Emily began to crack more and more.

He leaned a few inches forward and managed to get the hook-like part of the staff around Emily and he slung her behind him so she was near the edge of the pond. She laughed, so relieved that she was safe.

Hiccup felt himself sigh with the same feeling. It disappeared as the ice under Jack cracked loudly.

Jack was starring hopefully at Emily; she was at the edge and safe. His smile left him once he heard the ice crack loudly and then gave out beneath him. He fell in, his gaze trapped on the sky above the water...he sank as the cold water kept him from moving.

Hiccup cried out along with Emily, "Jack!"

A roar echoed through the air as the alarm in the village sounded.

Hiccup swallowed hard knowing that the ice cold water would kill Jack. He tried going onto the ice but just as he tried a dragon overhead let out a roar that cracked the entire layer of ice in the pond. He jumped back and pulled himself to his feet running towards Emily who was crying uncontrollably.

Hiccup grabbed her and didn't look back as the heat of the dragon reached his back, he slid down the hill and a few more minutes...he was back in Berk.

Dragons were everywhere, more than he had ever seen before.

Emily held onto Hiccup's hand tightly as they ran through the chaotic streets avoiding falling buildings and fire.

They spotted Stoick and Sonna. Sonna reached out for Emily, "it's going to be okay sweetheart! Where is Jack?"

Stoick put a hand on her shoulder, "Head south...we will make sure we bring him home once this wreck has gotten under control!"

Sonna nodded and took Emily to the rest of the visitors who were fleeing.

Hiccup choked back tears knowing well that Jack wouldn't be going home. Stoick slapped his back, "Come on boy, quit crying like a baby and get in the shop!"

Hiccup was pushed inside where Gobber was running around handing villagers weapons.

"Sword sharpened now!" Gobber yelled.

Hiccup caught the sword and struggled under its weight; he held it to the stone wheel and tried to breathe. It had all happened so fast...he couldn't do anything...Hiccup recalled the sketch of the long distance shooting device and in-between Gobber's commands he began to cut the wood, tie the string and add the bolts to the thing.

Hours passed and the dragons still continued to attack, Hiccup watched as Gobber left the fort switching his hammer for an axe.

Seconds after he left Hiccup grabbed the device and wheeled out, he ignored other's who merely yelled for him to get back inside, he knew better. He ran to the top of a hill just as a purple light smashed into the tower. As it fell to the ground one word came to Hiccup's mind.

Nightfury...

Hiccup aimed down the sight and looked into the sky, it was dark out now, the stars not visible and the clouds hid the moon. Hiccup squinted as he tried shooting something but instead the machine broke, the hinges buckled and Hiccup cursed in anger as tears filled his eyes. He just wanted to get these things gone...he lifted his head at the response of someone's voice. He frowned and followed it blindly, not realizing until he was at the pond that the voice was echoing around him...eerily pulling him.

Hiccup blinked back tears seeing the pond had re-frozen. He looked up as the moon emerged from the clouds and its full light shone onto the pond.

The ice began to crack and from where Jack fell in someone rose out, pulled by an unknown force. Hiccup gasped as he realized it was Jack. His hair had become a white color like the snow, his skin pale as the moonlight and his clothes had a small coat of frost over them. Jack's brown, short cloak flapped in the steady wind as he inhaled sharply. He blinked at the stinging cold and was set back down lightly on the ice. Hiccup gaped at the ice as it froze over exactly when Jack's bare feet touched it. Jack himself looked around and saw a staff. He picked it up curiously and dropped one end as its icy cold temperature surprised him. As the staff's end hit the ice another layer of frost and ice formed in swirls. Jack instinctively shielded his eyes and then grinned in amazement. He stood and looked up to the moon feeling some intense sort of pull towards it, Jack Frost...

Jack looked over to see a boy around his age standing at the edge of the pond in disbelief. He had brown hair and green eyes, a green tunic and a fur coat without sleeves.

"Hello?" Jack called out.

Hiccup's legs began to shake as he collapsed in a faint.

Jack ran over to the boy, "Are you okay?"

Hiccup squinted his eyes open. "What's happened to you?" He breathed.

Jack frowned, "My name's Jack...what's yours?"

Hiccup stared blankly at his friend...why didn't he remember.

"You don't remember who I am? Do you even know how you got here?"

Jack frowned and looked back up to the moon expectantly but he said nothing. He felt a weight fall onto him, "No..."

Hiccup had already decided that if Jack really had forgotten everything he wouldn't mention Emily or Sonna. "My name's Hiccup." He replied after some time.

A loud roar was the last thing they heard from the village and then an eerie silence followed.

Hiccup felt panic rise up within his chest, "We need to-" He turned to see Jack running along the ice dragging the staff as it created layers of ice. He slid around with grace and his signature laughter made Hiccup shudder.

Hiccup watched as the wind picked up at Jack began to fly up, "Where are you going?" Hiccup called out in a panic.

Jack couldn't hear Hiccup; he laughed as the wind picked up and whisked him away. He flailed as he spun around he finally got control and starred into the beautiful starry night sky. The clouds were gone; the full moon light shone all over and lit up the whole area.


please rate or review whatever...tell me if you liked it and where I need to improve because I want these two guys to be in character as much as possible...
