Chapter 39: Memories

It's been a few days since Astrid fell off the side of the cliff. It's now the day before Snoggletog and Hiccup has become very depressed. Stoick came into his room and sat down beside him. "Hiccup my boy come and join us, it's a beautiful day you should be enjoying yourself." Hiccup just looked away sadly. "I know how you feel Hiccup, I was devastated when I lost your mother but remember what I said; this is the time to celebrate them." Hiccup turned away sadly and let a tear drop. Stoick then left leaving his son to rest.

Brynhild then walked in and walked over to Hiccup. "Hey, I'm really sorry about Astrid, Hiccup. Are you sure you won't come and enjoy yourself?" After a second and no reaction Brynhild left.

On the other island Astrid had just woke up. Sigrunn turned from the fireplace and smiled at Astrid and then walked over to her. "Hey, how are you feeling?"

Astrid slowly sat up pulling hair away from her face. Astrid yawned and stretched. "I'm feeling okay and I'm starting to remember a few things. I remember a few new friends that I met but I can't remember their names."

"Very good, in fact I met five young girls; should I bring them in to meet you?" Sigrunn said as she got on the floor to clean under the bed. Astrid thought about it and then nodded and said yes. "Then I will go find them." Sigrunn then pulled out Astrid's clothes and noticed two small objects come out with them. "I think these belong to you dear." Sigrunn handed Astrid the two small objects and then left to wash Astrid clothes and find the five girls she had met earlier.

Astrid looked at the two objects and she was more interested in the note than she was with the ring. She opened up the note and began to read.

Astrid, by the time that you get this we will be back on Berk. Also by getting this we will have made up. I think you know what the ring is for and I expect one of two things. You will come running to me or you will need time to think and I except both. I love you very much Astrid and whatever you want to do is fine with me as long as you're happy.

Your boyfriend

Hiccup

Astrid had to fight to hold back the tears that she could feel coming. At that point five girls walked into the room. Astrid hadn't noticed them as she was too focused on the ring and the note. Astrid had the two items on her lap, her left hand holding the note and her right hand covering her mouth. Astrid sat there for about 5 minutes and then spoke. "I know who I am now but things are still fuzzy. I need to get back home to Berk."

"That's where were going to take you." Will said standing with the others at the doorway.

"I remember you five but I don't remember your names, I do trust you though." Sigrunn then came over and handed Astrid her clothes and told Astrid she could keep the ones she has on. Astrid stood up, grabbed the ring and put it on her finger and smiled. Astrid looked up at the five girls with a wide smile. "Let's go."

On Berk, Tuffnut and the others were sitting by Hiccup keeping him company on what is supposed to be a very joyful day. They sat there for hours not saying anything and then Fishlegs got up to get some food for the five of them. As Fishlegs walked he noticed something flying closer to the island. He stared very closely until he finally managed to make out what it is. Fishlegs smiled widely and then ran back to the others. Once he ran in through the door, everyone looked up and wondered what was going on. "Hiccup, you might want to get out of bed and come look at this."

Hiccup got up from his bed and quickly ran out the door and slipped on ice. Once Hiccup stopped sliding down the ice he stood up and noticed six people landing on Berk. That's when he noticed Astrid being carried by the guardians. Once they landed both he and Astrid ran straight for each other and grabbed each other in a hug. "Astrid, I never thought I'd see you again."

"That is you right Hiccup?"

Hiccup let Astrid go and looked at her worriedly. "Yes, it's me, you don't remember me?" He asked looking hurt but only slightly.

"I don't remember a lot of things Hiccup. Who are the others behind you, they look familiar but I don't their names." Astrid frowned but continued to stare at Hiccup. She then pulled out the note and handed it to him. "I found this and that's why I'm back." Astrid held up her hand with the ring on it and showed it to Hiccup. "I remember loving you and that's all I need." Astrid then kissed him. "I'm sorry for whatever I did that made me leave."

"No, no no no, you didn't do anything. You fell from a cliff." Hiccup pointed to the cliff that Astrid fell off of.

Astrid looked where he was pointing and stared for a minute before remembering something. At that point, Brynhild and some others came over. Astrid turned back to Hiccup and then saw Brynhild and pointed at her. "I remember, she did it, she pushed me off the side of the cliff. I slipped and she grabbed onto me and whispered something." Astrid thought for a second and then spoke. "She said, Hiccup is mine and I will have him and then she let me go." Everyone looked toward Brynhild angrily and then Stoick walked over to her.

"Brynhild, you are to leave the island and never come back." Stoick said and then a woman came up and grabbed Brynhild by the arm and pulled her away. Astrid's mother came up to the woman.

"Excuse me" Astrid's mother said to the woman. The woman turned around and Astrid's mother gasped. "My long-lost sister." The two hugged and went off to talk.

"So Astrid, this means we're getting married?" Astrid nodded.

"I still need to be reminded of things." Astrid hugged Hiccup.

"Glad to see everything has worked out here but we need to get going." The group said their goodbyes and Hiccup went on to explain everything to Astrid as they walked.
