Author's Note: Oh boy. Spring break is almost over hoped you guys enjoyed these updates cause now I have no idea when I'll update.

Time Period: Race to Edge after the season finale assuming all is well dandy.

The sun hit Astrid's face as she stretched she looked to see Hiccup sleeping soundly on Toothless' head. Astrid smiled as she looked to see the rest of the Gang still sound asleep. She went through her pack to see if she had any leftover fish or chicken. Though before she could get a proper look she heard Hiccup slightly whimper. She rushed over as she whispered, "Hiccup? What's wrong?"

Hiccup mumbled something she couldn't make it out. She leaned in closer to try understand and she heard the words in a jumble but understood the words, "Don't. Forget. Toothless. Please."

Astrid frowned as she grabbed Hiccup closer as she whispered in a reassuring voice, "Shhh, Hiccup. You won't forget Toothless. He is your best friend. Your first friend I hate to admit it. He's a dragon. A Night Fury."

She continued to tell about Toothless and Hiccup's friendship for hours before Hiccup calmed down in sleep as he held onto Toothless even tighter but instead of fear it was out of comfort. She smiled as she saw Stormfly had woken up as she whispered, "Come on girl let's go get more fish back at the beach!"

While in the air Astrid looked confused at the island. She was a confident that the Gang kept a straight path but in the air it looked like they curved all around as the beach instead of being just due South it was West. "Come on, girl! We need to tell the others!"

They quickly landed back at the camp as everyone was up except Hiccup and Toothless as she smiled that they were still sleeping peacefully before she frowned as she said in an urgent tone, "Guys! You won't believe what I saw while I was up there!"

"Did you see a shipwreck?" asked Tuffnut as he packed his blanket in his satchel.

"Hunter ships?" asked Ruffnut as she did the same as her brother.

"No and no. Fishlegs we've been keeping the same direction of going north right?" asked Astrid to the husky as he fed Meatlug some rocks.

"Yes, the stars and sun have showed we've been going North," answered Fishlegs with a slight confused tone as he wasn't sure where she was going with this.

"That's what I thought. While I was up there the beach was West instead of South," replied Astrid as the riders gave her a strange look.

"Whoa. You don't think this island might be messing with us do you?" asked Tuffnut with his voice in awe.

"That's stupid! An island can't move! We probably just took a wrong turn," said Snotlout as he rolled his eyes in an annoyed manner.

Astrid was about to say something before everyone turned to hear a yawn. Hiccup yawned once more as him and Toothless stretched in unison. Hiccup rubbed his eyes tiredly before he petted Toothless in a friendly manner. The Gang sighed in relief as Hiccup didn't forget before Hiccup heard them as his eyes widen in fear before he screamed before he hid behind Toothless' wings, "Who are you people?!"

In those four words the Dragon Riders' fear became real. Hiccup forgot about them and they don't when he'll remember.

Astrid's mind couldn't believe what just happened. Hiccup seemed to remember Toothless just fine as he found comfort in him, yet he didn't seem to remember the Riders. She would have thought more on this but the rest of the Riders were panicking making her lose her train of thought.

"What are we going to do?!"

"How are we going to explain this!"

"More like how we're going to explain to this Stoick!"

"Oh Thor. Oh Thor. Oh Thor!"

Astrid tried to ignore them as she gently crawled over to the Night Fury's wing as she asked in a gentle voice, "Hiccup? Do you know what's going on?"

His voice was muffled from the wings but she heard him reply, "No. All I know is I'm safe with Toothless."

Astrid sighed as she asked, "Hiccup, how old are you?"

He was silent for a moment before he asked, "Why do you want to know?"

"Maybe, I can help you understand if you just tell me how old you are," answered Astrid as she kept close to the wing.

"I'm…. eight," answered Hiccup hesitantly which caused Astrid to smile ever so slightly.

"Good. Now could you come out so I can explain," requested Astrid as she backed up in case he does.

Toothless let out a comforting croon as he peeked under the wing as Hiccup slowly crawled out from under the wing. Hiccup leaned against Toothless as he asked in a quiet voice, "So what's going on?"

"Well first I need you to really look at me and the others. Are you sure you don't know us?" asked Astrid as she gestured to herself then the others.

Hiccup narrowed his eyes in concentration as he looked at her mostly. There was something familiar about the girl in front of him, but he just couldn't place it. "You do look familiar."

Astrid's eyes lit up before Hiccup looked behind her to see the other riders as he recognized them quite quickly as he asked, "Is that Ruff, Tuff, and Fishlegs?"

Astrid nodded happily before he cowered behind her as his main focus was Snotlout as she asked, "What's wrong?"

Hiccup tried to hide behind her as he whispered an apology, "Sorry. He just looks like my cousin…. who kinda scares me."

Snotlout only heard the word 'cousin' before he bounded towards them as he asked, "Wait! You remember me? Yes!"

Hiccup's face turned pale as he asked in a scared voice, "Wa-wait are you a-ac-actually Snot-Snotlout?"

"Of course of I am! Who did you think I was?" asked Snotlout as he was preparing himself for anything but….

"I'm sorry! Please don't tell my dad about Toothless! Beat me up! You can do anything just please please don't tell the village!" begged Hiccup as tears began to form in his eyes.

Snotlout suddenly felt a twinge of guilt at Hiccup's begging but before he could say anything to make it better Astrid punched him hard in the gut as he yelled, "Ow! What was that for?"

"What in the name of Thor did you do to him to make him act like this!?" asked Astrid in an angry voice. Granted she felt guilty she never hung out with Hiccup at this age but to make Hiccup, no matter what age, almost burst into tears was a whole new low.

She was about to continue yelling before Hiccup cried out, "Astrid!"

Everyone paused before Astrid asked in a hushed tone, "What did you say?"

"Astrid! You're Astrid! I recognize that punch and tone of voice anywhere! You always beat up Snotlout!" explained Hiccup before he realized something. "Wait, you're not going to tell the village about Toothless are you?"

Astrid's anger quickly evaporated as she kneeled down to his level and reassured, "No. No. I'm not. But now that you know us did anything else come back? Like where you are?"

Hiccup shook his head before he asked, "Why do you look different?"

"It's because instead of being your eighteen year old you turned back into your eight year old self while we all stayed the same," explained Tuffnut as everyone looked at him incredulously. "What is that not the answer?"

"What happened to me?" asked Hiccup in a scared whisper as he subconsciously walked towards Toothless.

Astrid saw the panic in his eyes as she quickly reassured, "Don't worry! We'll figure out what happened just stay calm!"

Hiccup took deep breaths before he held his head in dazed manner before he swayed on his feet before he could hit the floor Toothless grabbed his tunic and helped him back to his feet.

"Hiccup are you okay?" asked Fishlegs concerned what just happened.

"I-I think so," answered Hiccup as he wasn't sure what just happened. "I think I'm going to rest for a moment."

Everyone kept their eyes on their de-aged leader as he climbed on Toothless and quickly fell asleep when he did everyone sighed in relief hoping maybe when he wakes he'll remember more.

Though as they thought back Fishlegs had to ask, "Why do you think Hiccup remembered Toothless this time?"

Everyone shrugged before Astrid realized why as she answered, "I think it's because while he was sleeping he was saying how he didn't want to forget Toothless so I kinda just talked about Toothless to soothe him."

"Do you think if we do that with us he won't forget us?" asked Fishlegs as maybe talking while Hiccup was asleep maybe it will make whatever is causing this easier.

"Maybe," admitted Astrid as she watched Hiccup peacefully take a nap on Toothless. She hoped to Thor that it will work and Hiccup won't be scared of them anymore.

A.N: I hoped you enjoyed the chapter. Hmm wonder what will happen to Hiccup next?
