"Look at all the teeth, with blood and gum on them." - Rise of the Guardians—Toothiana

Back to the present time, Father Time and Mother Earth were hard at work as always. But especially today. Father Time had noticed Man in Moons clock cracking, and the face of Mani dimming as well as flickering. They were running out of time, ironically enough. Father Time was doing everything in his power to keep Mani fighting whatever darkness he face. And Mother Earth was trying to keep the earth calm. But as the minutes ticked by it was becoming more and more impossible. The earth could sense darkness, and it was weakening her. She let out a sigh and dropped her head. Looking at her hands she saw them crack. Choking she pulled her hands in.

Father Time peeked his head over the desk. He felt something. Something small, but growing. It filled his head with images, memories he knew shouldn't be there. He put down the wrench and looked at his machine before closing his eyes. Images filled his head. A bottle, a glow, singing, he opened his eyes wide.

"He didn't—" he began.

Mother Earth came behind him. "Sweetie?" she whispered, placing a calm hand on his shoulder.

"That Idiot!" he shouted and jumped from his desk. She brought her hand back.

"What did Jack do this time?" she asked.

"He changed the time line!" Father Time and ran a hand over his head, "That idiot, that stupid…" He slammed his fist on the desk, all his tools jumping. He sighed and shook his head.

"Is there anything we can do?" Mother Earth asked, she brushed a bird off her shoulder, too worried at the moment to care.

He closed his eyes and shook his head. "No, nothing." He said. "All we can do is watch it unfold."

Merida and Rapunzel walked into the dining room where Astrid, Goeffy, Gobber, the two kids and another Woman they couldn't recognize all were. Astrid was pacing back and forth. Gobber was standing watching. The two kids sat together, the boy was asleep though on the girls shoulder. Of course none of them could see Rapunzel so she just stood on the side as far away from them as possible.

As soon as they saw Merida though Astrid stopped pacing and the woman who they couldn't recognize stood up from the table. "Where's Jokul." Astrid said.

Merida ran a hand through her red curls. She looked at Rapunzel who shrugged, "Don't look at me. I'm invisible remember?"

"Jack's with Hiccup." Merida finally said, she rubbed her shoulder. "He told us to—" Astrid pushed passed her.

"Are you crazy?" She shouted.

Merida reached out to her. "Astrid-"

Astrid didn't seem to hear as she ran to Hiccups room. She slammed on the door, "Open this door!" she shouted. No answer. It was far too quiet in there. Panic seemed to erase all reason. She slammed on the door harder, "Let me in!" she shouted. Merida and the others all came up behind her.

"Astrid, Jacks trying to—" well Merida wasn't so sure what Jack was doing, but she didn't want to scare Astrid.

Astrid swirled around her eyes wild, "I don't care what he's trying to do." She spat at Merida, "He's the god blizzards and destruction! Don't you get it?" she slammed her fist on the door again.

"He's not the god of anything Astrid." Merida said. But there was no point in reasoning with her. Astrid was completely mad with fear for her husband. In her head, Jack was Jokul Frosti, bringer of frost famines, killer of children, and destroyer of life. And why should she listen anyway. Merida was an outside. She didn't belong here; in fact, Rapunzel, Jack and she all didn't belong here. Merida looked away from Astrid and to Valka who crossed her arms. This woman hadn't said a word since she had met her, only stood quietly. Her eyes looked a little glassy, like she was remembering something. Her face was also red, and her eyes a little swollen like she had been crying for a long time. For Hiccup maybe? But why?

Merida wanted to calm Astrid so badly, but everyone who was standing here seemed to realize there was no reasoning with her.

"Jokul!" she shouted again, this time tears could be seen, "let me in! What are you—" the door opened. All of them stepped back startled. Standing in the door was A man, that at first no one recognized. Brown hair a mess on his, a small smile on a playful face. He was dressed in a simple green shirt and pants, the shirt being stained with red in the left shoulder. He had a fake foot and a little scar that could be seen in the beginning of a beard.

Astrid stared at him. Everyone did. They waited for something to happen. Then Astrid reached out her hand and touched his cheek. He smiled at her and held her hand there, against his right cheek. "You're alive." She said so low that almost no one could hear.

"I'm alive Astrid." He whispered. Then she burst into tears and wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing him square on the lips. Valka laughed covering her mouth. Aldis ran over and wrapped her arms around his waste. He looked down at her.

"Dad's okay!" she laughed and cried at the same time. Junior ran in too, "DADDY!" he shouted. Hiccup fell on his knees laughing, still holding Astrid, and Aldis, he now wrapped his arm around his son pulling him into the group hug. Gobber shouted. "Aha!"

Merida smiled from where she stood and Rapunzel clapped her hands. Goeffy smiled and nodded to the door. All of them looked. There was Jack, both his hands in his pockets. He was smiling too, he even looked a little teary eyed. Astrid looked up from the group hug and looked at Jack. Hiccup looked too. Astrid pulled away walking up to Jack who kept his hands in his pocket and smiled.

"So…" Jack said, "Do you trust me now?" he raised an eye brow, giving her his crooked smiled.

"Almost." She said, she punched him in the shoulder hard.

"Ow!" he said rubbing his shoulder, "What the!"

"That's for locking me out from my husband." She said. Jack looked at Rapunzel who giggled. Then Jack felt a small kiss on the cheek. Astrid smiled and crossed her arms, "And that's for everything else."

Gobber laughed and Valka grinned. Hiccup just shook his head. Toothless came bounding in at that moment, toppling on top of everyone in the process. He saw Hiccup and jumped on him, knocking him to the floor and licking him from head to toe. Hiccup shouted his protests and everyone laughed. Finally done Toothless sat up and smiled his gummy smile at Hiccup who sat up and tried to shake off the spit. "Uggg! By Thor's Hamm-You know that doesn't wash out." He said.

Toothless gurgled and everyone smiled.
