Hiccup drops his sword and stares at Snotlout. he did it, he defeated the one who tortured Hiccups life. in the end there is a happy ending for some people. Hiccup puts his arm over his stomach, to try and slow the bleeding. Astrid and everyone else just stares at Hiccup, still in shock that he didn't die back a few weeks ago. Hiccup grabs Snotlouts sword and places it on his chest, to show respect. Hiccup may hate Snotlout for everything he has done, but he has to respect him for the times they did have, when Snotlout wasn't a big dick head.

"My question is, whats next?" Erit asks, walking up to Hiccup. Hiccup looks around, and laughs to himself, still surpised he beat Snotlout. something he wouldn't have ever expected.

"Well, you have to go home and be a father, and me, well I have my own problems, thank you for everything" Hiccup says, as he hugs Erit, and Erit walks away, heading towards a boat to head home.

Hiccup waves him off, then turns to everyone else, and they are still in shock, except for Astrid. Astrid runs over to him, and wraps her arms around his neck, and he holds her tightly, and she starts tearing up.

"I thought I lost you" Astrid says, burying her face in his neck, and he sheds a tear, holding her tightly still. "It was the only way I could have done what was meant to be done" He says and she doesn't say anything, she just sits there before letting go.

"Your plan was to act like a dead man, have him come, just so you could win?" Astrid asks, confused. Hiccup laughs and Astrid punches his arm, not hard enough to hurt a whole lot, but hard enough to make him shut up.

"I knew he was a coward, so I know he would wait until I died, before coming to celebrate, then when it was just right, I came and did what I had to" Hiccup says, and Astrid just stares at him, still confused. "you couldn't have told us?" Astrid asks and Hiccup sighs, before sitting down, putting his arm on his ribs again, dammit, the cuts wont stop bleeding.

"if I told anyone, someone would leak it to someone else, and it would eventually have reached snotlout, and my plan would have failed" Hiccup says, and Fishlegs comes over and sits down.

"Astrid, he would be correct" Fishlegs says and hiccup laughs. "If he told anyone besides Erit, his plan could very well have failed. because we would expect it, and we wouldn't look that scared" Fishlegs says and Astrid nods, as she sits on Hiccups lap, grabbing a rag she had and putting it on a cut.

"Well me and Erit did have a ship we had to clear out, to get here" Hiccup says, as Stoick gets the courage to sit down with all of them. valka then follows and sits down, but doesn't look at Hiccup, because she wouldn't believe what she was seeing.

"And how did that go for ya?" Stoick asks, and Hiccup looks at him. "Well, Erit showed off the whole time, taking I think eight out. but it went fine" Stoick laughs. Erit has always been somewhat of a show off when it comes to fighting, but the boy is built like stoick is, except a bit smaller.

"I just don't understand, out of all this, where has Tuffnut been?" Fishlegs asks and everyone shrugs, he has been gone for quite some time, and he still lives on berk, but its not like he helps anyone anyways.

"I don't know and I don't care, all I know is that we should head back to Berk, we have things we all need to discuss, and Hiccup, you get a heroes welcome back" Stoick says and they all head back to a boat that was left behind. as they leave they all forgot to check something..

they forgot to make sure Snotlout's heart wasn't beating...

a day later

all the villagers see a boat come, and they expect it to be snotlouts, but they all drop everything they were holding when they see Stoick on it. Brenda walks up and sees Astrid, and she starts cheering, seeing that her mother is back. The village starts cheering as their chief returns, as well as the other three. the boat docks and Stoick, Valka, Fishlegs and Astrid get off the boat.

Brenda runs to Astrid and Brenda starts tearing up as she hugs her mother. "I thought I lost you forever mommy, im sowwy for being rude to you, ill be nice forever and ever" Brenda says and Astrid smiles, finally the two girls are on the same page. "Who watched you while I was gone?" Astrid asks and Brenda points at a girl, and the girl turns around, and its Heather.

"How did you get out of there Stoick? slice and dice em?" A villager asks and Stoick shakes his head.

"No, us four would have been dead if it wasn't for someone that saved us" Stoick says, and he points at the sky, and everyone backs up, as they hear a Nightfury starts coming down, then a plasma bolt comes down, along with the dragon. all they see is a man, in a mask, in robes, on toothless.

"Hey whos the chum on Hiccups dragon? that's disrespectful" Another villager tells Stoick, and Stoick stares at that villager. "I would apologize to your future chief" Stoick says, as Hiccup takes off the mask, showing his island that he survived the tragedy a few weeks ago.

"You punk bitch, you survived, and didn't tell anyone?" The villager asks, and al Hiccup thinks is, this villager asks too many damn questions. "Well that's not nice, and it was all part of my plan, which went perfectly" Hiccup says, and Brenda looks up to who is talking.

"Dad?" Brenda asks, and Hiccup looks at her, and walks to her. "Yes honeybun?" He asks, laughing to himself. Brenda runs to Hiccup and gives the biggest hug she has ever gave anyone.

"Well I see you gained your mothers strength already, this is great, two girls to beat me up all the time" Hiccup says and Brenda laughs. he picks her up and walks back to where he was, this time, Astrid is up there with him.

"Snotlout is gone, no more need to worry about him, your all welcome" Hiccup says and they all start clapping. Brenda hops off Hiccup, and runs to Toothless, and they do their little thing.

"I think im missing something" Hiccup says, and Astrid looks at him. "What is it?" She asks, and he smirks, as he grabs her, and gives her a kiss, and she really tries to control herself, because its been a lonely few weeks. at least she isn't widowed anymore. he ends the kiss and she blushes, not expecting that.

"There, I found what I was missing" He says and she smirks, still blushing a deep rose red.

at least he can relax now... hopefully that lasts...
