"Was It Really Worth It"
Hiccup felt like his whole body was aching.
He felt cold.
He wanted to open his eyes but he was afraid of what he might see.
Suddenly a voice called for him.
"Hiccup" the voice felt so soothing.
"Hiccup" it continued and Hiccup thought that the voice was very familiar. "Open your eyes" it requested.
"But I'm afraid" Hiccup surprisingly said with a croaking voice
"Don't" the voice reassured. "Trust me."
"How could I trust you when I've never met you before?" he asked
"You don't need to worry about that. In fact, you're always thinking of my face."
Hiccup abruptly opened his eyes and looked directly at a smiling Astrid. Who was glowing? How did she do that?
"Astrid?"
The Astrid-look-alike smiled at Hiccup "You can call me Aphrodite"
"Aphrodite? The goddest of love and beauty?"
"You forgot about sexual rapture."
"Yeeaaahhh I specifically avoided that for obvious reasons" Hiccup droned "That's not the point! Where am I anyway? I'm… in… the village?" he looked around and, sure enough, he was in the center of the busy market in Berk. "Hey, why do you look like As-" he turned towards the goddest but she was gone.
"Where did she go?"
"ROAR!" Hiccup ducked as he heard the monstrous nightmare's cry
"Dragon raid! Everyone down!" he shouted and closed his eyes. A moment passed and he didn't hear the dragon anymore.
"Huh?" he opened his eyes and noticed that nobody reacted to the dragon's roar. Another roar reached his ears and this time it sounded like it came from a gronkle. He turned his towards the side and what he saw made his mouth wide open.
Fishlegs was on the back of the gronkle, riding it. It even looked like the gronkle was happy carrying the portly viking.
"Ok Meatlug" he heard Fishlegs said as he gestured towards the gronkle "It's feeding time!" the gronkle happy roared and hurried towards the direction of its rider's house.
"What's going on here?!" he grabbed a clump of his hair in confusion.
"Can you please tell me what's going on?" he asked but he was ignored by the passing viking. He tried again but the results were the same. "Why is everybody ignoring me!" he asked exasperated.
Just then he saw Astrid walked towards his direction. He also noticed that her eye had recovered
"Astrid" he sighed in relief and stood infront of her "I'm so glad that you-" but Astrid ignored him. In fact, she even passed right through his body.
Hiccup gasped "She just went through my body like I'm nothing!" he touched his body and he was one hundred percent sure that he was solid.
He ran towards Astrid and tried touching her but just as his finger was about to touch her, his hand went through her.
"What's going on here. Why can't anybody see me?"
Suddenly, somebody was shouting "Hey! Did you hear?! Hiccup has finally awakened!" he caught everyone's attention and quickly ran towards the chief's house.
"Hiccup is awake? But I'm Hiccup!" he followed Astrid towards his house and noticed that there was a crowd surrounding his father.
When he was near enough, he was a boy probably shorter than Astrid beside his father.
"That's it I'm dead" he heard the lanky teen said
"Well, you've gave it your best shot" he heard his father said "So, what do you think?"
"It's better than I imagined"
"So what do you think of the modifications I made?" He heard Gobber asked the teen
"Well, I could do a minor tweaks here and there…" and everyone around him laughed at his joke.
Hiccup furrowed his eyebrows. Who was this person? He sounded so familiar… And why was his father so nice to him?
He then noticed Astrid get closer to the boy and punched him on the arm. Hiccup's eyes widened because he finally got a good look on the teen. It was him.
But why was his doppelganger so small? He looked like he couldn't even lift an axe!
The lanky teen looked at Astrid exasperatedly
Astrid smiled at him and said "That's for scaring me"
His double scoffed "What? Is it always going to be like this becau-" but the double was cut off as Astrid kissed him.
Hiccup's mouth hung open. Why was Astrid kissing that toothpick?!
"Astrid! What're you doing?!" he shouted to her in vain as his double and Astrid mounted on their respected dragons and flew away. "Great… Just great! How am I going to get out of this crazy place if nobody can even see me?!" he shouted at the skies.
AN: Short, I know... I'm sorry guys, I'm just really tired and I need to sleep.
