Hues of green greeted Jack's eyes when the time sand had cleared. He could tell that he was in a dense wooded area, and by the salty smell of the air he was also by the ocean. Taking to the sky, he bounded to the top of the trees and examined the area from his perch. In the distance was a small village perched by the ocean with ships that bobbed gently up and down in the water near the dock not far from the village. He noticed there were some seemingly large winged creatures that were in the village as well, however when he squinted to get a more focused view, he felt a great whoosh of wind and heard a loud excited yell while nothing but what seemed like a black blur flew past him.

"All right, Toothless!" yelled the boy sitting atop a scaly black dragon once he had slowed down a little further up. "That was amazing! You're so fast!" The dragon, which Jack figured was the one being referred to as Toothless, looked pleased with himself. Toothless then made a wide circle before landing on the ground in a clearing of the forest. Leaping down from the trees, Jack landed on the ground right next to the boy and his dragon. Upon closer observation, he confirmed that this boy in the fur vest with the dragon was indeed Hiccup Haddock III.

Hoping that he might get lucky, Jack abruptly jumped out in front of Hiccup. There was no response from the young teen though as he continued to mess with the mechanisms of Toothless's saddle and Jack realized that he wasn't visible. "Great," he muttered to himself as he pondered how to make Hiccup see him. Jack silently mulled over ideas in his mind and came up with a plan. He didn't have much time to fully formulate it however as Hiccup leapt back on to Toothless's saddle and hooked himself in. As he put his lower limb in the control for Toothless's bright red prosthetic tail fin, Jack noticed that Hiccup was missing his left foot. Toothless then took to the air and Jack leapt up and followed the pair to a cove with a large lake.

"Hope this works," Jack murmured to himself before he forcefully struck his staff against Toothless's prosthetic tail fin, freezing it instantly. Dragon and rider simultaneously let out a surprised shout before they both fell down into the lake below. Hiccup managed to unhook himself from the dragon and Toothless leapt out of the water onto the grass, shaking himself and looking around for the cause of his fall. His eyes landed on Jack Frost floating several feet above the lake and he let out a deep snarl then fired a shot of purplish fire that barely missed the pale teen.

"Whoa!" he yelled out in surprise as he felt the heat from the blaze pass him by. "Guess the dragon can see me. Now to get Hiccup to..." He flew down avoiding the dragon's shots while Hiccup swam towards the shore.

"Toothless! What has gotten into you, bud?!" Hiccup shouted at the dragon as he swam. He felt a sudden chill go through him and upon looking down found the lake to be completely frozen around his half submerged body. "Gah!" he yelled, trying to push himself up out of the ice. "The gods must hate us today or something, Toothless, because this place is going crazy!"

Jack landed in front of Hiccup and waved frantically in front of him, but the boy still did not see him. Deciding one last trick was in order, he waved his staff once above his head and a light snow fall occurred around Hiccup. "And now it's snowing," Hiccup grumbled. He furrowed his brow in thought until a flake of snow fell on his nose and an idea came to him. Slowly he looked up from the ice and then flailed his arms in shock upon seeing Jack Frost floating directly above him with a satisfied grin.

"Ah! What...who...did you do this?" Hiccup inquired crossing his arms in front of his chest.

"Had to get you see me somehow. Seems your pet saw me just fine."

"Toothless is my friend!" Hiccup shouted. "Now get me out of here, it's freezing!" he demanded through chattering teeth.

"Er, I only make things cold, not warm," Jack said with an apologetic shrug.

"You...what?! You mean I have to wait until it thaws out?! I'll just be here until next summer then." Hiccup replied in a bitterly sarcastic tone. Noticing his friend's situation, Toothless flew over and gently warmed the ice around Hiccup until it completely melted. Hiccup gave him a thankful smile and said, "Thanks, bud. Can't believe I didn't think of that," before turning his attention back to Jack.

"Who are you anyways?"

"Jack Frost," he answered while landing on the lake, the water freezing at the touch of his feet. "Like I said, I make things cold."

"So you're the one responsible for the harsh winters here on Berk then..." Hiccup observed.

"Wha-? No! This is all before my time!" Hiccup raised an eyebrow at this and Jack sighed frustratedly. "What I mean to say is, I don't exist yet. I'm from the future."

He gaped at Jack for a second before exploding into laughter, the dragon joining in with low amused sounds of his own. "You're from the future?! Very funny! And I'm Hiccup Haddock the third, the most terrifying Viking to ever live!"

"You must be for the Guardians to send me back here to get you," Jack stated in a serious tone.

"Are you kidding me?! Everyone thought I was a joke until I figured out how to train dragons! Now I still find it to be a task and a half to get the adults here to take me seriously! What would your...Guardians...want with me?" he asked sardonically, splashing out of the water on to shore. Jack walked out on to the grass and sat with Hiccup. There he explained the Guardians, Pitch's initial return ten years ago, and the call for Hiccup to come in order to fight him when he returned again.

"You were chosen, Hiccup! Don't you understand? We need you," Jack implored. Hiccup thought for a moment, then jumped up and bounded on to Toothless.

"I'm in," Hiccup sighed. "Can't refuse a bunch of important spirits, especially if it means no presents at Snoggletog."

"Snoggletog?" Jack asked quizzically.

"It's our winter holiday. A lofty spirit delivers presents to all the people who have been good all year. Sounds a lot like that North you were talking about." Hiccup grinned at Jack, who snickered.

"Who even came up with that name, Snoggletog?"

"Probably wanted to make sure no trolls came around during that time. Vikings say that the more hideous a name is, the more trolls and gnomes will be frightened away."

"Seriously?" Hiccup nodded at him. "You Vikings are crazy."

"Yea, we're insane," Hiccup shot back with a friendly smile. Jack laughed then jumped up on to the dragon behind Hiccup.

"Guess we should go get the next person then," Jack stated while opening the clock around his neck.

"Merida? Oh we don't have to go far for that," Hiccup said, causing Jack to look up with a confused expression.

"She's my cousin and she happens to be visiting us right now in Berk." Jack couldn't believe his luck. Surely now that Hiccup believed in him, it wouldn't be hard to get the girl with the wild hair to do so.

"Let's go get her then!" Jack cried out excitedly, and the two set off on Toothless at a quick pace back to the village of Berk.
