Ok this is really late and I'm sorry :( but I'm having a lot of trouble writing at the mo, I never seem to have time and when I do I hate a everything that I have just written :( the amount of timess I rewrote this :(

Anyway I will shut up and let you read now :D
One last thing :) enjoy and please review! It really encourages me to write and I need some encouragement right now :)
Pitch lay curled up in the darkest corners of the world, places where the light of the sun almost never reached.
After the battle with the Guardians he had been dragged, kicking and screaming back into his lair, by the very nightmares he had exercised such control over.
The treacherous nightmares had then plagued his sleep with the worst of night terrors, all the while battering his body relentlessly.
Finally when the nightmares had grown bored of torturing him they had left Pitch a broken, trembling shell of his former self.
It had taken several months and the constant idea of revenge, a particularly bloody and painful revenge, before Pitch had been back to the power-hungry being he had been before.
He hadn't done it alone though.
Days after the nightmares had left him to die, Pitch's agony filled life had been intruded upon by an old lady.
Slowly she nursed him back to health with a mix of magic, herbs and the promise of revenge.
Now that he was healed the (ex) Nightmare King and the old witch begun to concoct a plan. A particularly bloody and evil plan.
Jack frowned as he watched the Russian, the boy and his dragon leave. He hated how there was a whole other world he hadn't known about. For goodness sake there were still Vikings and dragons in the world!
"Jack, was that a dragon!?" Tooth placed her hand on Jack's shoulder and watched them leave the room as well.
"Well yes… wait until Sandy gets here then everything will hopefully be explained."
Jack sighed before settling himself on one of the sofas.
"Might as well make your self comfy, i dunno how long Sandy will keep us waiting but those three will be back as soon as Hiccup realises how disgusting eggnog is." Jack shuddered as he remembered his own first time with the drink.
Tooth and Bunny shared an amused look (Jack's first experience with the strong, alcoholic drink had been very funny) then both relaxed onto the nearest seat.
What I don't get is why the boy is here and how he can see us." Bunny broke the silence as he spoke what had been on all of their minds.
"He must be a believer to be able to see us and to have gotten here, but if we had any believers in this Berk place then it would show on the Globe." Jack pointed out and when Bunny and Tooth failed to come up with any answers silence fell again while they waited for the final Guardian to arrive.
Not long after, the first streams of golden light that signalled Sandy's approach, were visible through the windows.
"Here comes Sandy, finally." Glad for the break in the silence the three of them rose to their feet ready to greet their old friend.
The small golden sandman drifted in through the window and landed a few feet in front of them, as soon as his feet touched the ground, images began to flash rapidly above his head, presumably his excuses for being late. This prompted groans from the gathered Guardians. Even after several hundred years with the sandman they still found it near impossible to decipher his sand pictures.
Instead they just smiled and returned to their seats to carry on waiting for North, the boy and his dragon.
Eventually North returned, with an unsteady Hiccup leaning on Toothless, at his side.
"Ahh good Sandy is here, now Hiccup if you could explain again"
So for the second time that night Hiccup told his story, pausing only to answer the Guardian's questions or too refill his mug of eggnog.
The light of the moon was beginning to stretch across the floor when finally Hiccup had finished telling his own and Toothless's story's.
There was silence for a few moments as the Guardians processed all that they had just been told.
"Yea that's great and everything but I still don't understand why you and your giant winged gecko are here, I mean did anyone send you here and if not then how did even find this place?" Jack, unsurprisingly, was first to speak.
"I was told by the moon to find the others like me." Hiccup's statement was again followed by silence, even Jack looked surprised.
Hiccup smiled slightly at their faces before expanding on his answer.
"A few months after Snoggletog-"seeing the blank looks Hiccup paused- "It's the Christmas holiday back on Berk-"North nudged Bunny and smirked.
"See Bunny even Vikings have Christmas so it is better than Easter." The room erupted into noise as North let out his booming laugh.
"Yea whatever mate, Viking continue."
"Toothless and I were flying as normal, but I remember that the moon had been visible all day and it was especially bright that night and I was in my room when the light from the moon flooded in through the window and images appeared on my floor." Hiccup paused to scratch Toothless causing the dragon to croon.
"I didn't pay much attention past glancing quickly at it as its not that fascinating but when I glanced at it again there were images in the light, and I don't mean shadows or reflections I mean actual moving pictures." Hiccup looked up at the Guardians, possibly checking to see if they were planning to call the men in white coats any time soon.
"Once I had seen the moving pictures I looked closer and the images became clearer, there were two girls and two boys, I realised that one boy was me and now I realise that the other was you." Hiccup nodded to Jack who stared back puzzled.
"You saw me when you looked at light from the moon…" Jack sounded both sceptical and concerned.
"Well yes but the man in the moon sent it to me so it must have meant something… The girls weren't familiar at all and unlike you I haven't met them or if I have then I don't remember."
"The girls what did they look like? If MIM sent you the picture with me in then maybe I know the two girls."
"Um ok one had huge, bushy hair and carried what I guessed was a bow, the other girl carried no weapon apart from a circular metal… thing i'm not sure what it was, and unlike the first girl her hair was smooth and straight, either of them sound familiar?"
Jack thought back, back to before he was Jack Frost when he was Jackson Overland, searching his memory searching for anything that matched the descriptions Hiccup had given him. Gradually after first receiving his memory things had started to return to him, the names of his friends and family, his birthday and various things like that but nothing that matched the two girls' descriptions.
"Sorry no, they don't seem familiar; if I have met them then I don't remember."
"I think we have to find them, after I saw the pictures I heard a faint voice by this point I was convinced that I was going to have to be shipped off as I feared I had gone mad." Jack smirked, he knew how that felt.
"The voice told me to seek out the others like me, it took me a week to leave Berk, despite the fact that no-one could see me I still considered it home." Hiccup's bright green eurs dulled for a second and Jack felt a pang of sympathy for the boy, but soon Hiccup lifted up his head and smiled.
"I never actually meant to leave but I was racing with Toothless when he suddenly flew off and of course I followed him, I think that MIM must have been guiding him because we arrived here just two days later and it seemed that Manny had informed North about our arrival as he was standing at the door waiting for us."
Hiccup looked inquiringly at North who nodded.
"Da, Manny simply told me to expect unusual guests."
"So Manny must be telling us to find these girls and he is trying to get the four of us together for some reason."
Jack stared at Hiccup before shifting his gaze to where the light of the moon was just visible through the window.
"So let me get this straight, Manny wants you and I to go and find two random girls neither of us have met before, either in this life or another! Yea as fun as that sounds i think I'm gonna give it a miss as I don't even know you or these mysterious girls!" Jack snapped at Hiccup, his voice heavy with sarcasm.
"I don't even know you yet you turn up and tell me that the man in the moon told you that we have to find these two unknown completely unfamiliar girls! Yea that's totally normal…"
Hiccup blushed slightly while Toothless growled and stepped closer to his rider.
"Yes I know its weird and totally not-normal it took me a while to get used to the idea as well but I am sure that this is what Manny wants us to do."
"I don't know you and I don't care if MIM commands it, I'm not going!" Jack glared at Hiccup daring him to argue.
"You say your not going because you don't know me but if you did know me, say if Manny told you to go with North or Bunny then would you go?"
It was a fair question and Jack paused to consider it.
"I suppose so, not happily but I would go I guess."
"Will it help if I share my story, my life and some of my afterlife with you?"
Jack considered the offer briefly before nodding.
Hiccup nodded before taking and a seat on the nearest sofa and making himself comfortable.
""I am nearly one thousand years old and Toothless is slightly older than that but I am unaware of how much older." Jack stared, he had been unaware up until now that Hiccup was immortal rather, just a lucky (or unlucky, whichever way you view it) mortal who had caught the attention of Manny, but now he was discovering that not only was he immortal he was also a lot older than Jack himself.
"I lived and died on Berk, my death came about when Berk was invaded over a century ago, the invaders wanted Berk for themselves and obviously us stubborn Vikings couldn't and wouldn't let that happen so with the help of our dragons we fought back and we were winning, although many lives, both human and dragon were lost."
Hiccup rose from his seat only to start pacing around the room with all eyes following him from wall to wall.
"Finally after almost two years of fighting their chief was prepared to leave after signing a peace treaty, so his remaining warriors and our own gathered in the great hall, with all our dragons present ready to witness the signing of the treaty… only their chief wasn't planning to sign it." Hiccup stopped his agitated pacing and retook his seat.
"He was planning one last fight in which they would beat us by killing our leader, my father Stoick but before he could, Astrid-" at the Guardians questioning faces Hiccup explained- "Astrid was my girl-friend, Fishlegs my best friend, the twins Tuffnut and Ruffnut were tolerated and Snotlout was a frenemy-" as he remembered friends from long back Hiccup's eyes glazed over and his mouth stretched into a smile as he remembered times past. Jack coughed, reluctant to disturb Hiccup from his memories but also wanting him to continue. Hiccup's eyes cleared and he grinned awkwardly.
"Sorry anyway Astrid and I noticed the sword in his belt and the various other weapons attached to him and his warriors and we realised what he was planning to do and long story short we shouted out a warning the the people of Berk attacked along with their dragons and together killed most of the invaders." Hiccup absentmindedly searched Toothless as he remembered events that had happened well over a century ago.
"However their chief hadn't been killed and after seeing most of his people killed he wanted revenge so he came after Astrid and me, we were lucky enough to have Toothless other wise we would both have been killed, as it was I was was killed by him while I was protecting Astrid." Hiccup finished and there was silence, everyone stuck in their own thoughts.
"After MIM brought you back did you remember everything? Or did you have a completely blank memory?" A small part of Jack hoped that Hiccup would say he remembered none of his past when MIM brought him back as this would mean that in a way Jack hadn't been alone while he searched for his own lost memories.
"No I remembered everything, I woke up lying face down in a pile of leaves with Toothless watching over me and waiting for me to wake." Jack glared angrily at the moon, Hiccup had kept his memories while he had been forced to spend three hundred years searching and longing for them.
"Why what happened to your memories when he brought you back? I'm curious, how old are you?" Jack had to force down a smile at Hiccup's childlike curiosity.
"Nearing three hundred and twenty." This time Jack couldn't hold back a smile or a laugh as Hiccup's mouth fell open and his eyes opened wide.
"Oh and I thought I was old! So how old are you four?" Hiccup asked the oldest Guardians, all big-eyed and innocent.
"Much much older than both of you." Jack laughed again at North's diplomatically cryptic answer.
"Ok so question time for you Hiccup, why did you wake up in a pile of leaves? What happened to the invaders after you died? Could everyone see you or were you invisible?" Jack's flood of questions stopped and he looked expectantly at Hiccup.
"I woke up in the leaves because on Berk we burn our dead along with anything we wish to get rid of, and as I died during the autumn month there were leaves everywhere and people wished to burnt them with my funeral pyre along with Toothless's riding gear which I had to rebuild completely after I came back." Hiccup pointed out the riding gear that sat on Toothless's back and trailed down to his tail.
"After I woke up Toothless and I returned to the village to find that a week had passed since my death and funeral and that the invaders had all been killed as revenge for my death." Toothless let out what was probably a satisfied snot (it was hard to tell) causing Hiccup to smile slightly.
"No I was invisible to everyone except the dragons which was a huge relief if Toothless hadn't been able to see me I don't know what I would have done."
Jack sighed it was good to know (in a weird way) that at least he hadn't been the only spirit to suffer this.
"My village believed that Toothless was being ridden by a ghost after my death as he was constantly being ridden by me but they couldn't see me just my dragon who couldn't fly on his own, flying apparently on his own their attempts to rid the village of my possibly harmful ghost amused me slightly after a while though they realised that I wasn't leaving and gave up, so I suppose in a way they knew I was there though they couldn't see me."
Thinking back Jack remembered seeing a large gathering of people at his lake just days after he woke up there. At the time he had wondered what they had been doing, they all looked so sad, one girl especially had clung to the tearful woman beside her , now Jack knew it had been is own funeral. Those people had had no idea that he had come back and so had been unable to even guess at his presence.
"Does that answer all of your questions?" Hiccup's voice shook Jack from his thoughts.
"Yes but I'm still not sure about travelling to Manny knows where to find two girls who we don't know a d who don't know us."
"Jack, if Manny wants you to go then it is important have no doubt of that."
"I know Tooth but I don't wish to go off on a crazy adventure… actually scratch that yes I do… but an adventure that makes some semblance of sense."
"All we know so far is that there are two girls that we think Manny wish us to find but we're not absolutely certain as he's not exactly being talkative as usual."
"Jack go with Hiccup if it does turn out to be untrue then at least you will have had a good adventure and if not then you get to tell everyone that you were right." Tooth's argument made sense and made several good points.
"Fine dragon-boy I'll go with you so long as you get your overgrown snake to stop staring at me like that!" Toothless was glaring at Jack with his eyes big and not at all friendly.
"Thank the gods I was beginning to think I would have to tie you to Toothless and just fly you away." Hiccup gave out a fake sigh of relief as Jack's expression morphed to one of shock horror.
"One thing though please don't hit Toothless with any more ice shards."
Jack grinned sheepishly.
"Right then lets go!" Hiccup leapt up onto Toothless all ready to go.
"Not yet I have to say goodbye to everyone." Jack turned to the Guardians and quickly said his goodbyes before going to each individual yeti and elf and saying a heartfelt goodbye.
Ten minutes of this and Hiccup had had enough.
"For Thor's sake Jack lets get going already!"
Jack laughed before waving to the remaining elves and yetis and flying out the window.
"Hiccups gonna murder him before they even get close to those girls…"
Bunny remarked dryly as they heard the irritated Viking's shout at Jack for some reason or another.
