"Which Will You Choose"
Hiccup was literally scratching his head. He didn't know what was happening and there was this other Hiccup who was living his life.
"How's everything going?" Someone asked him from behind.
He ignored it because maybe it was referring to someone else. That is until he got whacked on the head from behind him.
"Ouch! Hey! What was that for?!" he turned and he was now face to face with the Astrid-look-alike.
"That was for ignoring me" she said monotonously "I'm going to ask again, how's everything going?"
Hiccup sighed "I don't even know. Last thing I remembered was getting by the giant dragon's tail and the next thing I know I'm standing in the middle of the village with nobody seeing me. "He looked exasperatedly at her "There's also the fact that another me is running my life"
Freya tsked "That's where you're wrong. That other Hiccup is the real deal."
"So are you saying that I'm the fake one then?"
"No… This is another dimension"
"Another diminwat?"
"The point is, another Hiccup has lived here for as long as you lived in your own world."
"Let's pretend that I understood what you just said, my question is what am I doing here?"
"Because of that" she pointed at the other Hiccup, specifically at his foot.
Hiccup's eyes widened. He didn't notice it before. The other Hiccup was crippled!
"When did that happen?" Hiccup asked, not leaving his eyes from the prosthetic.
Freya smiled sadly "He lost from fighting the Red Death."
"Red Death?" Hiccup looked at her curiously.
"The giant dragon you fought"
"The Red Death…" he repeated the word on his mouth "A very fitting name for a giant rampaging monster." Hiccup's eyes widened even more "Does that mean I'm going to lose a leg too?"
Freya shook her head "Luckily no… but your left arm is going to be useless for a very long time"
"My arm?" he started twisting it around "It feels fine to me."
"That's because you're asleep right now" she said matter-of-factly "Speaking of which, time for you to wake up" she cocked her arm back and punched Hiccup on the face.
-Haddock Household-
Hiccup sat up abruptly and gasped. He was panting and sweating. He looked around. He was currently in his room. He then noticed Astrid on the side of his bed, sleeping. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his right hand and focused his attention on Astrid. He couldn't see her face because she was burying it in the covers of his bed.
Hiccup smiled softly at her and laid down to rest even more. He tried moving his left arm but it was currently covered in bandages. He sighed and looked at his ceiling.
In just a few weeks, so many things had already happened to him. Firstly, he freed a night fury from being killed. Next, his and Astrid's fathers arranged them to a marriage. Then, he and Astrid dominated in the dragon training. Lastly, he got to kill the Red Death and stop the war between their tribe and the dragons with the cost of the mobility of his left arm.
Astrid stirred from her sleep and raised her head. She looked at him and he instantly noticed the eye patch where her left eye should be.
"Hey! You're awake!" Astrid stood up and hugged Hiccup
"Yeah I am" he let go and looked at her face "How's your eye?"
She smiled "I'm so lucky! Acne told me that all my eye needed was a few days to heal before I could see properly again." Astrid then looked at his arm and smiled sadly at him "Sorry about your arm though."
"Oh this old thing?" he tried to lighten the mood "It's not like I needed it or anything"
Astrid shook her head "You should consider yourself lucky."
"By the way, how did I survive the fall?" he asked
"Oh right! Here's what happened"
-Flashback-
"Hiccup!" Stoick's loud voice echoed throughout the quiet island after the giant dragon crashed on the land "Son, where are you?!"
Stoick found the night fury on the ground. He knelt infront of it and touched its head, recognizing at as the dragon his son rode on.
"Have you seen Hiccup?" he asked the dragon.
Toothless just shook he's head and tried to stand up but to no avail.
Every viking gathered around Stoick and Toothless, all fearing for the worst.
Astrid was already in tears, not caring about the people that would see her crying.
Everyone was mourning for the one person who defeated the giant monster and stopping the war between them and the dragons.
Just then, flapping of wings could be heard, followed by a squawk. Astrid lifted her head and looked at the approaching dragon. Astrid tried to look closer because she could've sworn the dragon was carrying something on its back. It was when it was close enough that Astrid finally recognized the figure on its back
"Hiccup!" she shouted causing some people around her to jump from the suddenness. "Chief, look! It's Hiccup!" she pointed directly at the approaching dragon.
"Where?" Stoick looked up and his eyes widened. On the wings of the dragon was none other than his son, Hiccup.
Just as the dragon landed, Stoick picked Hiccup up and placed his head where his heart was located. He listened closely.
Ba dump… ba dump… ba dump…
Stoick laughed "He's alive" he turned to everyone else "He's alive!"
Everyone cheered.
Gobber wobbled next to Hiccup and peered at him "Well… fo' as long as tha' arm of 'is stay intact"
Stoick glared at his friend and Gobber just smiled cheekily at him.
-End of Flashback-
"That's what happened?"
"Yep" Astrid nodded
"Wait, what about the dragon that saved me?" He narrowed his eyes "You didn't even tell me what breed it was!"
Astrid smiled at him "You just gotta find out yourself then"
AN: Sigh… I don't know what to say about this one… It feels lacking for some odd reason…
