Time Period: Race to Edge after the season finale assuming all is well dandy.


Astrid ran as fast she could she needed to find Hiccup or Toothless, or at the very least Stormfly! This was actually the worse vacation she ever went on, even more so then that time they all thought the dragons turned on them! This day just couldn't get any worse!

Plop! She had been proven wrong as it began to rain. "Great."

She looked around to see if there was a form of shelter. In the corner of her eye she saw a cave and quickly rushed inside it. She squeezed out the rain water in her hair as she walked inside. The one time she didn't have Stormfly or some Monstrous Nightmare Gel.

She sat down when she heard a scared whimper deeper in the cave. She walked towards when she saw the first good thing in the last half hour as she cried out, "Hiccup! You're okay!"

She ran towards him but what he said next made all that joy turn to fear as he cried, "Who are you!"

He forgot again. She then forced a smile as she explained, "Hiccup, you may think you don't know me but you do. You just forgot again. It's me Astrid. Astrid Hofferson."

Hiccup looked at her with scared eyes as he looked at her closely, "You do look like the Astrid I know, but she wouldn't talk to me."

"Well, I'm talking to you now and that's all that matters, so I need to ask. What's the last thing you remember?" asked Astrid as she hoped she could help his memory return just a bit.

Hiccup had this thoughtful on his face as his face wrinkled as he tried to remember as he answered, "I was running. Um I'm not sure from what I just thought maybe from Snotlout."

Suddenly a shriek was heard from far away then something flashed in his mind before he cried out, "No! It was a dragon!"

Astrid looked towards the direction of shriek and recognized it with wide eyes brimming with fear as she yelled, "That's Toothless!"

"Um who?" asked Hiccup as he looked in the direction with a shaky voice.

Astrid turned to Hiccup with more fear as she cried out, "You forgot Toothless too!"

Hiccup slightly backed away from the volume of her voice as he shook his head with fear, That one silent answer caused Astrid to groan in frustration as she began to yell sarcastically, "Great! Just great! You forgot! Toothless forgot! And this island is causing all of us to act like a bunch of scared little…"

Astrid stopped her train of thought as she believed she figured out the source of the forgetting as she finished in shock and awe, "Like a bunch of scared little kids."

Astrid then explained with shock and realization, "That's why you keep forgetting. You're a naturally scared kid-!"

"Hey!"

"So whatever caused this connected with your and Toothless' fear so when you felt fear you forgot!" cried out Astrid as she picked up Hiccup happily.

"Um isn't that a bad thing?" asked Hiccup as he felt a little uncomfortable with her picking him up.

Astrid put him down as she said, "It doesn't have to be. Hiccup I need you do something for me and be brave for me while we look for the other riders and the dragons. Can you do that?"

Hiccup gulped before he answered, "I'll try."


Not to far away from the cave Stormfly flew across the canopy she needed to find Toothless or else Hiccup would worried, even more so with his situation whatever caused it. She saw something black that moving fast. She landed down swiftly as she squawked, "Toothless?"

"Who's Toothless!? You Nadder!" shrieked Toothless as he looked ready to attack Stormfly.

She backed up slightly, even she knew that even Hatchling Night Furies could be dangerous, before she responded back in the native dragon tongue, "You're Toothless. I'm Stormfly. We got our names from our Riders."

"Riders? Pfft, like Human Riders. You're definitely not a crazy Nadder," replied Toothless with his number one facade to hide his fear which is a fake bravado.

"Says you. You may need Hiccup soon," replied Stormfly as she gestured to his missing tail fin.

Toothless hid his tail before he growled, "Well, what do you know?! You're just a Nadder!"

"And you're a Fletchling. You should listen me," argued Stormfly with a dragon-version of a smirk.

Toothless looked away before he begrudgingly said, "Fine. Where to?"

"Just follow me. I can track the other dragons then we can our Riders," answered Stormfly as Toothless followed her with a slight distance.


A.N: Yes, I added a Dragonese Moment… don't judge. Sorry it's short but next chapters need to be a chapter of their own. Also we're almost two more chapters!
