NEW DAY NEW CHAPTER GUYS HOPE THIS WAS WORTH THE WAIT! this fanfiction is near it's end! Oh my goodness i haven't even realized that this is a very late snoggletog special!

All well. Anyway, hope you enjoy this one ;) ^.^

Hiccup was kinda expecting to be scolded by the rest of the teens and Gobber but instead he and Heather found themselves to be in a giant group hug. Their eyes were glazed with tears of happiness because well they spent a few nights and a day believing that he was dead! They were so sure that he was good as dead after hearing what Astrid's father told them. No one bothered to tease Snotlout for being a softy, nor the fact that all the dragons minus Toothless, Skullcrusher, and Windshear, were joining in the group hug! No one bothered to bring up the subject that Dagur has escape, after all he managed to escape from getting captured every time they were so close but there is always a next time. Right now, their focus was on Heather and Hiccup.

"Exactly what happened?" Astrid asked after drinking some water. "You had poison in you and you were supposed to die yesterday, how are you still alive?" She remembered what her father told her when they came to Berk, she was sure that Hiccup was a goner.

"What was Dagur here anyway?" Tuffnut asked before Hiccup could answer the first question.

"Why is the chief here?" Ruffnut butted in. "I thought you were, you know, mad at him and stuff."

"What happened?" Fishlegs added.

"Slow down you lot!" Gobber separated the forming group that were going to surround Hiccup and Heather pretty soon. "Give those two time to breath." He waited for a minute filled with silence but the minutes turn to be a little longer than they needed. "Alright you two," He stated, looking at the stunned berserker twins, "Enough silent time you two, start answering some of those questions before this crazy lot starts asking more questions that you'll be spending the rest of this year trying to answer them." He didn't want to admit it but he too had his share of questions for Hiccup, especially having sleepless nights worrying about the teen and sadness when he believed that he was dead.

"Then we have a lot to say then," Hiccup rubbed the back of his head, where there was less hair because it received a not so good haircut. The left part of his hair was uneven, the right was shorter and the braids were gone, his hair was just with uneven chunks but the front part did not get affected at all. He took a deep breath and got to explaining, starting from the very beginning, from the day he and Heather supposedly joined forces with Dagur to clarify somethings. "Heather and I didn't intentionally joined Dagur for revenge, we just planned to capture him as closely as we can but things got difficult when we saw how happy he was with his village when they met us. But then one of Dagur's friend name Asger had told us to go back to Berk because he heard us when we were trying to figure out our next move. He was afraid that if Dagur found out that we will be in serious trouble so that's why he though Berk was the best place to hide. We had no idea Dagur planned everything so when we got to Berk, the villagers captured Heather and t-they were about to execute her until I lost control of myself."

The group listened carefully, especially Astrid and Gobber, since they recall her father telling them about the attack when they came to Berk. They couldn't believe that Hiccup would lose his temper, even if he admits it himself but the only reason why Astrid and Snotlout alone believed it was when she saw the anger in Hiccup's eyes when he punched Dagur at the ship and they saw the same rage when he and Heather attacked them despite that being an act.

"I was aware that I was shot by an arrow since they were all shooting at me from different directions," Hiccup continued, his eyes unintentionally looking at the better bandaged arm. "But my mind was focusing on rescuing my sister and getting out of Berk. We were so lucky that Toothless and Windshear came when they did, we would have not made it out but even if we had no idea where they came from, we were glad that they were safe. I didn't bother to get it checked up even when we returned to Berserker Island...I just thought that it was just a cut and nothing dangerous."

"But it was," Heather cut in to fill in for her brother. "Once we got back to Berserker Island, we were told that Dagur was kidnapped by Stoick so we decided to head out to look for him because by then we were convinced that the only home we had was with Dagur. But when we landed here, Hiccup fall to the ground unconscious, he wasn't breathing properly, he was sweating like crazy and shaking...I didn't know what was wrong with him and that was when Stoick and Dagur came out of nowhere. We were super lucky they did, because Stoick knew what to do, but even though I was pretty difficult with him, he still helped us. He made the cure for Hiccup, and even saved his life when he suddenly stopped breathing."

Everyone was silent until Astrid broke that silence by punching Hiccup's shoulder again as he yelled, "OUCH! Now what was that for?"

"That was for not telling Heather, or anyone else that you got shot by the black arrow and trying to keep the pain to yourself and nearly dying again!" She simply answered, but then softened her tone, "But I'm so glad that you're alive..."

"Of course he's alive, he's Hiccup!" Snotlout commented, throwing his hands in the air. "I never doubted his strength, because I knew that he was alive this whole time."

"If you did then why were you tearing up and having a screaming match with the entire village?" Tuffnut asked, not noticing how red Snotlout was turning and the surprised looks on Heather's and Hiccup's faces. "I mean you nearly destroyed the academy with one axe, never thought you had it in you."

Snotlout shoved Tuffnut to the ground while Ruffnut laughed at her brother's misery as the Jorgenson muttered under his breath, "Shut up Tuffnut."

Heather shook her head until she carried on the explanation,"Anyway, after Hiccup began breathing again and was cure, I still did trust the chief...Dagur at some point told me his plan he made to manipulate us and Berk, and his real intentions, asked me to forgive him and so I did, he was my brother...Soon Stoick then told me and Dagur the reason why he accepted Hiccup as a son a long time ago but we didn't realize that Hiccup was listening so while we were asleep he ran off."

"I ran off but Dagur found me, asked me for forgiveness so like a fool I did," Hiccup explain from that point, but no one but Heather and Stoick could see the way his fingers twitched from saying that, "But he was still my brother, and from what I've seen, he did show some trust in dad-"

"Wait you just called Stoick dad!" Ruffnut gasped.

"Yes I did," Hiccup shrugged, "Is there something wrong with that?"

"Not at all, it's just that last time you were all depressed, angry, and not called Stoick your dad after learning the truth," She answered.

"Yeah well that time I was confused," Hiccup sighed, trying his best not to remember that incident. "But then Heather and Dagur got us to talk alone and so we talked about it, kept apologizing to each other...You could say I finally realized that my dad was still my dad even if it's not by blood. And then here we are, right here with the whole crazy fiasco. I guess he wasn't very forgiving about Heather and mine intentions when we joined forces with him but really planning to capture him and throw him back to prison."

No one knew what to saw until Gobber approached Hiccup and Heather and brought them both closer. "Well, your older brother Dagur didn't forgive, nearly killed you but at least you two still have a bit of family and a lot of friends by your side so you two won't be truly alone." Everyone was smiling genuinely at the comment, until the blacksmith sent a playful glare directly at his apprentice. "But ever give me another heart-attack like that again, or die on us again, then I will hunt your soul down and personally show you what true hell is like." Everyone's but Hiccup's eyes were wide with shock until the teen just shrugged.

"Can't promise you that Gobber, you've been giving me that threat ever since I was your apprentice."

Laughter filled the area until they heard familiar dragon roars coming from the sky so they looked up as the wind began to increasingly pick up and there they say it. The return migration of the dragons flying towards Berk, the strong males carrying the rope that held the ship of new born baby dragons! Some dragons looked familiar and others looked like they just joined the migration from different islands. "The dragons are going back to Berk with their new babies!" Fishlegs squealed as he hugged Meatlug. "I wonder how many baby gronkles were hatched this year?"

"As long as they're already hatched then I don't care," Snotlout shivered then playfully nudged Astrid, "Unlike that first Snoggletog with dragons, Astrid, have any idea what I'm referring t-OW MY WRIST! MY WRIST!" He fell on the ground from the pain until Astrid released his wrist.

"Then that means we better go back to Berk!" Tuffnut suggested with glee. "After all, now Snoggletog is getting closer and closer!"

"To our dragons and to Berk we go then!" Ruffnut nodded, the two were about to mount on their dragon until they both stopped, realizing as they turned to Hiccup and Heather. "I-I mean, if you two want to come back and we completely understand if you don't want to-"

"But if it'll make you feel better, for revenge we can set the village on fire or plant dragon eggs in the houses!" Tuffnut interrupted.

"No that won't be necessary," Hiccup answered as Heather nodded quickly, trying not to imagine what the twins were planning. "But...We're still exiled, remember? After all we did, do you really think that we can show faces at Berk?"

"Maybe you didn't hear us a while ago," Snotlout answered before Astrid could. "We, except for me, all thought you were dead and had so much guilt and regret in our actions, well mostly the village since they did it. But that's not the point Hiccup; the point is that the village are truly sorry and if they aren't then we'll...Uh.."

"We'll have your backs," Astrid interrupted, well most like filled in. "We'll protect you two, so if you want to come back with us we'll be with the whole way and when we're in the village."

Everyone waited patiently for the two's answers, since they knew that they went through hell the last time they were in Berk. Heather knew that Berk was manipulated and that island wasn't where she grew up so she could go with them, she glanced at her twin brother. He was raised there and to be back stabbed like that can have it's effects. Hiccup took a deep breath and finally gave them an answer. "I think we've ran away from Berk long enough...I'll go back, but only to see for myself if what you guys say is true." The group could have jumped to space with joy but they had to maintain their excitement because they knew trust had to be mended back together again but they are willing to do anything to earn that trust back. So with that, everybody mounted on their dragons, Gobber riding with Stoick, and they were soon off in the sky as they followed the enormous herd of dragons migrating back to Berk.

Stoick could see how nervous Hiccup was so he and Heather flew beside him as he stated with reassurance to the worried teen, "It's going to be fine Hiccup, we're all here for you and Heather if anything goes wrong." Hearing that calmed some of his nerves as Hiccup sent a small smile back to his father, clearly not having to speak for him to know that he was saying 'thank you'. So they continued flying on, listening to the rest of the teens talk on about their new plans for the holiday.

"I can't wait to finally relax and party."

"Think of the new baby dragons!"

"Ruff, we are definitely going to have to teach Hiccup and Heather our Loki ways and welcome them to our circle of twins with open arms!"

"For once I agree! Then there'll be four times the trouble than ever! It'll be amazing!"

"Oh Thor help us all."

Heather suddenly smirked when she saw Astrid say then she looked over at Hiccup, her smirk only growing bigger until she finally asked out loud that everyone can hear her. "Hey Hiccup, Astrid...You two are a thing right? I mean I've seen the way you both look at each other and all so I just want to be positive." She chuckled when both Hiccup's and Astrid's faces turned red as they both cried out at the same time:

"NO! JUST FRIENDS!"

However that answer wasn't one the two adults and teens liked (with the exception of Snotlout)

"Whoa really? I mean Ruff and I seen the way you two look at each other and-"

"You two don't seem to bother each other unless it has to do with Hiccup's lunatic inventions."

"Meatlug and I thought it was official three years ago."

"Yeah, I mean you did kiss my apprentice more than once Astrid."

"Son, you're telling me that there is nothing between you two? I thought there was something between you two."

That only made Hiccup and Astrid both shake their heads while Toothless and Stormfly chuckled at their riders denial. "NO JUST FRIENDS!"

They could have continued teasing the obvious but in such denial love birds, however they had to change the subject since Astrid hadn't held her axe and Hiccup sending them a famous glare that only Gobber and Stoick were familiar with because that glare belonged to someone eighteen years ago despite not being genetics. They continued to fly in the sky as Berk got closer and closer to view, all the group knew was that the village was in for a very big surprise indeed.

"THE DRAGONS ARE BACK! AND SO ARE STOICK, GOBBER, AND THE TEEN!"

Everyone in the village left their homes to race to the spot where the dragons would always land their ship full of hatchlings but then all their eyes widened in shock and disbelief when their eyes saw one specific dragon and rider.

"IS THAT WHO I THINK IT IS?"

"IT IS! IT'S HICCUP AND HEATHER!"

"BUT HOW?!"

"HICCUP'S ALIVE!?

"IT'S A MIRACLE!"

Everybody was cheering as the dragons landed along with the group as they ran right towards them, mainly to Hiccup and Heather. Hiccup at first made a defensive stand in front of his sister just to be ready for any worse case scenario but he was shocked to be surrounded by a mob of crying vikings as they all kept repeating.

"We're so sorry lad!"

"We're sorry for doing all those horrible things to you both!"

"Please forgive us!"

"Give us any punishment you feel that we most deserve!"

"We're so sorry, so truly sorry!"

No one can describe how shocked Hiccup was since he was expecting an angry mob, not this. Children were hugging him, even Astrid's father was on his knees pleading for forgiveness for his actions! Everybody was practically begging for their punishment for being so cruel until Hiccup finally got the village to let him speak. He cleared his throat and then spoke, "I know you guys did what you've done to protect yourselves, and I don't blame you even if it was a little too far. But I too have to also apologize for my own actions, so I hope you all can forgive me for what I've done, because I forgive you all...I'll need time to gain full trust in you again, but I forgive you, and I don't plan to punish anyone for trying to defend themselves!"

When he finished saying that, the whole village were now thanking him promising to never doubt him again, that they will earn his and Heather's trust. Stoick smiled at his son, even though he personally wanted to punish his village for their actions, Hiccup was right in some way. "EVERYONE TO THE GREAT HALL TO CELEBRATE OUR ANNUAL SNOGGLETOG!"

That moment, everybody cheered with smiles on their faces for the first time in like a week!

Yeah end of chapters so there's a fifty fifty chance that the next chapter will be the last so I hope you enjoyed this one and see you guys some other time. Okay so the village went unpunished but I see hiccup as a forgiving guys no matter what, it's just his trust they lost that's all.

Anyway, see you all next update.
