Author's Note: Well Spring Break is over. Hope you enjoy this chapter before you'll see less of me.

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

The Riders took a look at Hiccup as he slept peacefully on Toothless as if he didn't have a care in the world. Astrid then remembered what she saw in the morning and asked, "So does anybody have any ideas why the beach was West instead of South when we know we kept traveling North?"

"Ugh! We probably took a wrong turn it's no big deal," groaned Snotlout as he thought they were done with this conversation.

"But I know we kept going North," argued Fishlegs as he thought it was strange and wanted to figure it out.

"Look we have bigger issues then a weird island. What are we going to do with Hiccup? Cause I am not dealing with a whiny and scared Hiccup that I thought I was done with at age ten," said Snotlout as he remembered all those years of 'Hiccup was this' or 'Hiccup was that'.

"I thought we agreed we were just going to talk while he was asleep," said Tuffnut as he turned to Ruffnut as she shrugged being confused just as much as him.

"Well Hiccup is taking a nap right now so we're just seeing if that memory relapse was just that a relapse," explained Fishlegs as they looked at their esteemed leader sleeping.

Astrid blew her bangs out of way out of frustration as for once in her life no one had a plan…. then again Hiccup was always the one with the plan, so with him being eight again this was definitely a problem. While the group talked about which was a bigger problem the island or Hiccup she crawled over to Toothless who woke up as she asked to the dragon, "Why haven't you forgotten anything?"

Toothless gave a shrug as he was weirded out and confused by the situation though something in the back of his mind told him that he knew what caused this, but he just couldn't figure it out. He was scared when Hiccup ran from him but felt much better when he remembered him but felt upset that he forgot the others.

"I wonder if this island is messing with us," muttered Astrid as she knew that they were going North despite what Snotlout said. "That can't be right an island can't move just parts of an island."

Not to long after the Riders gave up their dispute on the island Hiccup woke up as he asked, "Did anything happen while I was asleep?"

"Depends, what's the last thing you remember?" asked Astrid as she hoped maybe it was her eighteen year old Hiccup asking this question.

"Um hmm I think asked why you're older," answered Hiccup as he forgot about the answer though when he answered he felt a headache coming on. "Oh my head hurts."

His comment was quiet but when he looked up he saw that everyone heard him as he quickly added, "It-it will pass though! Don-don't worry!"

"Hiccup, if you're in pain you need to tell us," scolded Astrid as she shook her head from shock. Great, she started to sound like a mother.

"I'm-i'm fine. Really," lied Hiccup as his eyes darted to Snotlout who, last time he knew, would always make fun of Hiccup when he complained he was in pain.

Astrid caught the look no matter how quick it was before she explained, "Hiccup, whatever you're scared of from what we did before you don't have to be anymore. We won't hurt you in any way."

Hiccup looked at her with innocent eyes but it still had the fear of being made fun as he said honestly, "I'm-i'm sure you-you're right Astrid, but I-I'm just scared."

Astrid along with the other riders' hearts broke a little from hearing that Hiccup used to be scared of them. Astrid then realized something a bit more horrifying. Did her or any of the riders actually apologize to the way they treated Hiccup all those years ago? Granted, if they did or didn't Hiccup is very forgiving person when they began to hang out with him he probably silently forgave them when they began to hang out with him. Well, that's changing right now.

"Hiccup, I am so so sorry," apologized Astrid which caused Hiccup to take a quick intake of air.

"Really?" asked Hiccup from shock because in his memory no one apologized except for maybe Gobber and his dad for times they really snapped at him. "You're sorry?"

"I really am. I know I may have not outright hurt you, but I saw what they used to do. I should've stopped them when I had the chance. So with that Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third I'm sorry," apologized Astrid as she saw Hiccup smile then he did what she never thought this version of Hiccup would do. He hugged her.

"I forgive you," whispered Hiccup in her ear which warmed Astrid's heart as she returned the hug.

"I'm sorry too Hiccup!" cried out Fishlegs as he made Hiccup and Astrid's hug into a group hug.

"Us too!" cried out the twins with a strained voice as they joined the group hug.

Snotlout looked at the group as guilt wrapped around his heart as he knew he did the most pain to his cousin. He cleared his throat as the other riders looked at him while Hiccup's eyes widen with fear. He knew that fear from all the times he teased him or beat him so he started, "Hiccup. I need to say something."

Hiccup slowly got out of the group hug as he asked in a timid voice, "Wha-what do you-you want to-to say?

Snotlout gulped as these words never came easy to him as he said with a slight strain of voice, "I'm... I'm ahem I'm sorry."

"What?"

"I'm sorry," repeated Snotlout he really didn't like using those words. "I shouldn't have teased or beat you up for being different. I guess I was just upset and maybe jealous at who you were."

"You? Je-jealous? Of me?" asked Hiccup as this was a side of Snotlout he never saw.

"You were smarter than me. You were the chief's son. For Thor's sake you're…. better than me," explained Snotlout in a strained tone as he clenched his fists as he's not used to sharing these types of feelings especially to Hiccup. "I'm especially so-sorry for starting your nickname of 'Hiccup the…. Useless. You're anything but useless."

With that no one made a move. Hiccup himself froze in his spot shocked at what came out of Snotlout's mouth. Hiccup slowly walked over to Snotlout before he said in quiet voice, "I-I-I was really hurt by you Snotlout."

Those words slightly crushed Snotlout's hope that Hiccup could forgive him at this age before Hiccup added, "But I know you're being genuine so I may not forget about what you did but I…. I forgive you."

Snotlout then harshly grabbed Hiccup and gave him a noogie as Hiccup yelled annoyed, "Wha-what are you doing?! Put me down!"

The riders laughed at Hiccup's annoyance as they all felt a huge weight on their chest be relieved. Though no one noticed a pair of wolf-like eyes staring at them in the bushes before it disappeared.
