Hiccup held Jack close as they arrived. The brunette was looking around. His brown eyes wide with wonder.

"Jack," Hiccup, "How much do you remember? If, you can remember anything at all that is..."

Jack bit his lip, scrunched his nose, and narrowed his eyes in an adorable attemtp in trying to remember anything.

Hiccup smiled in amusement.

"No."

"Damn." Hiccup groaned. Jack smiled sadly.

They fell into silence and continued on their way to Berk.

"He just," Astrid growled, "he just upped and left me! ME!"

Merida snorted, "Can ye blame him? Ye weren't exactly the best girlfriend out there."

Astrid glared at her.

"What?"

"YOUKNOWWHAT!"

Merida scoffed and got up. She heard a familiar roar and smiled as she looked up. She ran out of the room she and Astrid were in and ran outside.

"HICCUP!" She called, waving her arms. Toothless landed, and Hiccup got off of him. But the thing, or rather person, Merida noticed, was Jack, "Who's he?"

"Merida, Jack. Jack, Merida." Hiccup introduced them to each other.

"Nice to meet ya, Jack!" Merida held out a hand, and Jack stared at it, "Shake it. Come on, I don't bite. Much."

Jack cracked a smile and took Merida's hand. She gasped when it touched her, "Yer hands are freezin'!"

Jack chuckled, "I never realized..."

Hiccup smiled but then frowned when he saw a storming blond walk over to him.

"Astrid!" He gave her a smile, though it looked forced, "What's up? How ya doing?"

Astrid glared at him but turned her fierce gaze at Jack who back into Merida upon receiving it.

"Who," Astrid sneered, "is he?!"

Hiccup sighed, "Astrid, Jack. Jack, Astrid."

Jack turned his attention to Astrid, "Nice to me-"

"Shut it." Astrid snapped, and Jack recoiled at the venom in her voice.

He turned to Hiccup and gestured to her. He got a shrug in responce.

"Anyways, it was nice to see you...but...I gotta take Jack back to my place. Tell my parents about him, try to convince them to let him stay with us."

"IF YE CAN'T HE CAN STAY WITH ME OR PUNZIE!" Merida called after him. When and he and Jack were out of view, she shot Astrid a dirty, yet highly smug, look.

"What?!"

"Yer jealous!"

"No I'm not!"

"Yes ye are!"

"Am not!"

"Ye are!"

"Not!"

"Are!"

"I'm not jealous!" Astrid snapped as Merida left, still looking smug. She wasn't jealous. She wasn't.
