Summary: Set after RTTE s4. The Dragon Hunters were defeated and everything seemed perfect. Astrid and Hiccup started to date and life was going on at the Edge. But then an accident happened to Hiccup and he hit his head so hard it made him lose the memory of the past three years, all he remembers is the day before the raid he shot Toothless down. How will he be able to deal with this whole new world presented to him? And how can he handle an important mission he was about to do without his memories?

How to Deal With Amnesia

Chapter 1: The Accident

"Come on, Bud, faster!" They flew up towards the sky in an amazing speed. "Now, Toothless, dive!" The Night Fury complied and they headed straight to the ground on the other side of the Edge's island.

The speed was increasing until Hiccup clicked the pedal and it moved the tailfin, thus the entire flight, or better, fall, in a way that they'd be flying close to the ground, deviating from the trees around faster than usual but still with perfect performance.

Toothless saw the practice targets and blasted them with accuracy. They got into a clearing with three targets in front of them.

"Barrel roll! Let's hit them from behind this time!" The dragon rolled and flapped his wings to turn and go up before turning again to hit the targets from behind with a multiple blast. "Yes! Well done, bud!" Hiccup petted the dragon's head. "What do you say we finish practicing for now?" A soft coo was his answer. "Yeah, I know, I'm tired, too… It was a busy morning. Let's go back home."

Toothless nodded and glided peacefully back to the their hut, as soon as they landed, Hiccup jumped out of the saddle and opened the door up. The lad noticed the dragon dragging himself into the house.

"I've been pushing you too hard, haven't I? I'm sorry, bud, but we need to be prepared, even with Viggo gone now, I still fear that might be other hunters out there, who knows?" Toothless grunted, annoyed. "Okay, so why don't you go rest and maybe take a nap and I'll go check on the others and bring some fish for lunch later?"

The black dragon nodded happily and then cooed as Hiccup scratched under the chin on Toothless's favorite spot.

"Great, so it's agreed. Now go rest a little, you deserve it." And so the dragon went upstairs to lie on his rock slab bed; Hiccup left closing the door.

Hiccup walked around, not seeing the twins or Snotlout anywhere, but from afar, he could see Fishlegs and Meatlug on their garden, and from the looks of it, he was feeding his dragon.

The auburn haired lad smiled and continued his walk to the Club House. He expected to find more people there than just Astrid cooking in the kitchen part of the building.

"Morning, Milady. How are you doing?" He stopped by her side and gave her a quick kiss on the lips.

"I'm fine, just stuck on cooking duty today… Well, at least it's gonna be better than Snotlout's smoked fish from yesterday…"

"Yeah... I guess that was on pair with Toothless's regurgitated fish… Yuck…" Hiccup growled with the remembrance, making Astrid laugh, he already told her the story of meeting Toothless; she could only imagine how bad it tasted. "Anyway, I could have helped you, if you had asked me."

"Nah, it's okay, I'm almost done, anyway. And Fishlegs came earlier and helped me a little." She said and as soon as she saw him reaching for one of the fresh made biskets and slapped his hand to stop him. "Those are to accompany the yak stew I'm finishing. And I didn't tell you because I knew you were busy training with Toothless. Where is he, by the way?"

"He's in our hut, taking a nap before lunch."

"Don't you think you guys have been working too hard? I mean, Viggo is gone, now, so no need to worry."

"Yeah, but we don't know who or what else could be out there. I just want to stay sharp for anything that might happen."

"Okay, just take it easy."

"Will do, Milady."

Hiccup had a small smile on his lips, but it slowly faded, replaced by his usual thoughtful face he always had when something was troubling him. Astrid observed him crossing his arms absentmindedly and she raised an eyebrow.

"What's wrong, Hiccup?"

As if he had been awoken, he jolted up and looked at her for two seconds before he understood what she had said.

"Nothing is… wrong…" His voice died looking at her bored expression. He knew he couldn't lie to her and he might as well not even try, so he sighed. "Fine. It's just that… I've been a bit worried with a rather disturbing news from my dad…"

"That Terrible Terror from yesterday?" He nodded in response. "What was it about? Is everything alright?"

"Yeah… I've just been thinking about it. You know my dad goes to meetings once in a while with the other tribes, and sometimes, the meetings are usually in one of the islands that hosts it, and this year, the meeting is gonna be on Berk. The first one after the Red Death, to be accurate. And there's a reason for that; no tribe wanted to meet at the island with the dragons. But apparently, they changed their minds. Maybe they heard about Dagur and Heather getting dragons as well, maybe they're finally warming up to the idea of having dragons, the thing is…"

"Let me guess, your dad wants us there to help the tribes to bond with dragons?"

"Especially me, obviously, but yeah… Besides, all the heirs are coming for the dragon bonding thing and being the chief's son, I can't miss it…"

"Come on, it can't be that bad, Hiccup. Your dad is proud of you, the Hooligans respect you, and Dagur doesn't use you as a target practice anymore. Good things are coming around."

"Yeah… it's just… Dagur wasn't the only heir that bullied me… Actually, except for, maybe, Camicazi, I can't think of one that didn't pick on me when we happened to meet, being it when the meetings were on Berk or when dad dragged me to another island…" He mumbled. "And the truth is… I'm a bit scared of seeing them again… I mean, I'm not that scrawny little kid who was the misfit of the tribe, now I'm a tall scrawny young man who just happened to befriend a mighty Night Fury."

"Okay, but at least you have us, your friends. And Toothless, obviously, but what I mean is that we're gonna be there for you. You can count on us. We're gonna help you." He smiled at her kind words.

"Thanks, Astrid. That really helps out a lot." He placed a quick kiss on her cheek and used the moment of distraction to grab a bisket and get out of there pretty quickly, Astrid only noticed he had gotten one when he was already half way out the Club House. She turned just to see him waving goodbye and eating the bisket.

The girl smiled and rolled her eyes before going back to finish cooking. Meanwhile, Hiccup went to the ground level to get a basket of fish and take it to his hut, but in the way, a Monstrous Nightmare and a Zippleback appeared on the horizon with their riders yelling at each other and fighting over something stupid. Again.

"Ruff! Tuff! Snotlout! What the hell is going on this time?"

They totally ignored their leader and just kept arguing.

"Give it back, you muttonheads!" Snotlout yelled and with that said, Hookfang snatched the barrel in Barf and Belch's claws. "You haven't paid for it yet, what makes you think you can use Hookfang's precious gel?"

"We need to practice target shooting, might as well be with a barrel of Monstrous Nightmare gel." Tuffnut retorted as loud as he could. None of them heard Hiccup yelling for them to stop this nonsense.

"Yeah, do you know the destruction it can make?" The twin girl asked.

"Duh! Of course I do! It's my dragon's gel! And you don't wanna practice, you just want to destroy stuff."

"And while doing that, we're practicing!"

"Can't argue with logic like that." Ruff agreed with her brother.

Hiccup grunted and let his shoulders fall. If he used the Thunderear backwards like Ruff and Tuff did around the time Gruffnut visited, he's sure be listened, however, that was too far away. He turned searching for Toothless out of instinct to ask him to release a warning shot to get their attention, only to remember the poor tired dragon was resting in their hut.

The Dome caught Hiccup's sight and he had an idea, the Dome was high enough to get their attention if he yelled at them from the top of it. He climbed the wooden structure and got there pretty quickly. Meanwhile, Ruff and Tuff had already ordered Barf and Belch to grab the barrel back from the Monstrous Nightmare's claws.

"Come on, Hooky, don't let them get it until they pay for it!"

"Snotlout, stop being greedy, this is only for the good of the group!"

"You guys are not fooling anyone around here, you don't care about the group, you just wanna cause havoc!"

"GUYS! Will you stop that! No one is using our stock of Monstrous Nightmare gel!" Hiccup yelled.

This time, he was sure he was heard, the three of them stopped to look at him for a moment, and then, they resumed fighting as if the leader wasn't even there. Hiccup face palmed with a heavy sigh.

"Come on, guys, stop that! It's ridiculous…" He kept trying to stop the fight as his friends ignored him and each dragon tried to snatch away the barrel, the three dragon's heads screeching wildly to the other.

The four paws fought hard to keep their grasp on the barrel, flapping their wings to try and get away with the prize; both dragons were encouraged by their riders, and it only made them want to fight harder.

That is until the barrel got loose from their clutches, in a final attempt to keep it, Snotlout tried to make Hookfang back away going to the left, but it was too late; the wooden object was finally loose and it flew in loops towards the ground, passing over the Dome's top and hitting the unprepared auburn haired leader. Hiccup was send to the grass ground below and blacked out.
