Hey guys! I'm so sorry I couldn't post it yesterday, I had a headache and I couldn't answer your reviews nor revise the chap one last time… But here it is and I hope everyone enjoys the finale of this fic! :D

And thanks to everyone who reviewed! Each one of them are important to me!

Review answers:

Unknown: Yeah, I know I'm a bit mean sometimes… Hope you liked the chap anyway! :D

Keso de Bola17: I'm glad you liked the non cliche result! And yeah, I didn't want to finish it with another cliche thing, I wanted a more realistic route. Thanks so much for reviewing so many chaps and I hope you like this last one, too! :D

SquallofVIII: Hi! Thanks so much for reviewing so many chaps! Well, about Norbert, I could have gone to a route where he'd capture Hiccup and stuff like that, but I'd need more chaps and the thing is, the point of the fic was already made, so it'd just keep it going without being necessary, and I don't really like that… And well, actually, no you weren't right in that part, the hit Norbert gave Hiccup just knocked him out, it didn't jog his memory back in place, nor scrambled them even further, Hiccup jokes that his memories were back (because of what Ruff and Tuff told him in the beginning), but it was a joke, his memories were like just before he got hit, but then he says his memories haven't changed. Anyway, I hope you like the final chap! :D

Hiccstrid6: Loool, its kinda hard to do 2 things at once… Anyway, yeah, he didn't get his memories back, but it's not a problem, he is already becoming the person he was at 18 and it'd be sooooo cliche… I wanted to do something more realistic, per say. I mean, in reality, what are the chances of a hit setting your memories back? I mean, I guess it could happen, but I highly doubt it would work… But I'm glad you liked it! And I hope you'll like the end as well! :D

SailorMew4: Thanks for reviewing so much! And yeah, I didn't want a cliche like that, and I'm happy you liked the realistic outcome! And please enjoy the finale! I hope you'll like it, too! :D

Made For More: Hey, I missed you! But I understand, sometimes we get real busy… I'm glad you're back and I hope you'll also enjoy the finale! And yeah, I wanted it to continue a bit longer, but the point I wanted to make with this story was made and if I continue, it'd be unnecessary and it'd easily get annoying…

Threni: First, thanks os much for reviewing in many chaps! Answering you question, I planned that outcome, I didn't change because of the reviews (though when I was writing, I knew people'd think his memory would come back after the hit), but the thing was that I didn't want a cloche like that (the thought of having his memories back crossed my mind, but was soon discarded). I really wanted a more "realistic" outcome, where he wouldn't get his memories back because of another hit on the head. Anyway, I hope you'll like the finale! :D

I know it's sad, but all good things must come to an end… Now, please enjoy the finale! :D


How to Deal With Amnesia

Chapter 25: Aftermath

One week later, on the island of Berk…

Astrid kept looking at the sky with great expectation. Stormfly was lying by her side, sleeping.

Fishlegs, Snotlout and the twins had returned to the Edge a couple of days ago, they didn't want to leave the place unguarded for too long, but she had told them that Fishlegs was on command and the others should follow his lead or else she'd personally kick the three of them permanently to Valhalla. After all, she was still mad at them for making Hiccup lose his memory. Snotlout wanted to stay to 'help' the other tribes, especially the Bog-Burglars so he'd be close to Camicazi; he really liked how she looked now. But they all went anyway.

However, she knew the twins and Snotlout too well to know they wouldn't behave for too long, so if a Terror appeared with an SOS message from Fishlegs, it wouldn't be a surprise. But that was not what she was waiting for, looking at the skies.

"Still nothing, Lass?" Gobber asked as he approached.

"No… I'm getting worried. They should have come back by now."

"They'll be here soon. Visithug Island is not that far."

"Especially on dragons…" She mumbled.

"Exactly!" He said. "Now come, Lass. You need to distract yourself a little. And then, when you notice, they'll already be here."

Astrid rolled her eyes, but stood up smiling.

"Okay, Gobber…"

"By the way, tomorrow he's gonna go check on the Bog-Burglars, right?"

"Indeed. But he's not gonna go alone there. I'm going, he wants it or not."

The blacksmith chuckled. "You're not still jealous about that Cami lass, are you?"

"Hey, I just want to guarantee my boyfriend will be fine in an island full of beautiful women warriors…"

"Yeah, yeah…" He agreed and both started walking back to the village, but a sound made them stop and look up, it was a very well known sound of a Night Fury's growl of happiness and triumph. Stormfly woke up and screeched joyfully.

As soon as Hiccup saw them both, he landed gracefully in front of them.

"Finally! What took you guys so long?" She demanded giving a step forward to pet Toothless. Stoick and Skullcrusher also landed near them.

"Okay, I admit it, I liked seeing Dogsbreath and Warthog get punished by what they did… And we also stopped to check on the Meatheads on the way. Thuggory is a natural with Killer, they're making the Meatheads open up their minds to dragons. Soon they'll have winged lizard friends just like we do."

Astrid then raised her fist and punched the lad's arm.

"Ouch… What was that for?"

"That was for leaving me behind for like two days, worrying about you."

"Is it always going to be like that?" He asked rubbing the sore spot, but he barely had time to finish the sentence before she grabbed his shirt and kiss him lightly.

"And that was for… Because I wanted to."

"I could get used to it…" His remark made her smile, and then she turned to her chief.

"And how was the trip?"

"It was fine. Especially after I talked to the Visithug chief about what his son and nephew planned joining the Hysterics… I guess if it weren't family, he'd have exiled the two of them, so furious he was. And I had to hold myself not to spank them both." He put a hand on his son's shoulder. "Nobody messes with a Haddock."

"Yeah… About that…" Hiccup turned to Astrid. "I don't remember asking you to tell everybody about Dogsbreath's bullying… I really didn't care."

"I didn't tell everyone, I told your dad and that's it."

"Besides, I care, son. He shouldn't have done that and you should have told me before!"

"Right, dad, I'll remember that next time… Unless I hit my head again and forget it all… I don't wanna repeat the time I was captures by the bounty hunters…" Hiccup said; this memory had come back to him a few days before he left to Visithug Island. He hadn't remember everything of the battle with the Hysterics on the next day, when the Visithugs left Berk, so Hiccup and Stoick had to go there to sort a few things, especially when Stoick received a letter from their chief saying they wanted to talk more about dragons.

"Speaking of remembering, how's your head? Your memories? Let's not forget your leg, I mean, after the fight with the Hysterics, most chiefs changed their minds and were already demanding you to help them. You really need to rest to heal properly."

That was true; in fact, he just came back from the third trip this week. The riders had gone with him the first two times, to the Meatheads and Bog Burglars, to talk with the people, and the other tribes seemed to be willing to accept dragons soon. This third trip was a little more serious, so Stoick wanted to go with Hiccup alone, and suggested the other riders to go back to the Edge.

"I'm fine, Astrid." Hiccup said and Toothless snorted. He wasn't 'fine' at all, and it was not only because he was leaning to the right so he wouldn't put much pressure on his left leg, but also because Hiccup had to stop a few times between their travels so he could rest. Hiccup glared at the dragon. "Hey, you were supposed to be on my side."

"We're all on your side, silly." She grabbed his hand. Stoick and Gobber noticed the young couple wanted some time for themselves, so they left saying they had stuff to do. Astrid waved goodbye and turned her attention back to Hiccup. "But you're not going to the Bog-Burglar Island alone. Got it?"

"I wouldn't dream of it… And you know what… I actually like having you jealous like that…"

"And how are your memories?" Astrid quickly changed subject.

"I got a few others back during the time I was away. I feel like I'm almost back to normal. And single handedly winning from the Hysterics especially without my memories tends to boost someone's confidence…"

"And ego. Don't get too smug."

"Oh, come on, give me a break… I'm gonna have to help Cami train a freaking Changewing! I have absolutely no idea how to do that… I kinda need the confidence boost… Besides, I can barely walk, if I need to run, I'll be doomed…"

"No, you won't, Hiccup. Do you know why?"

He sighed sadly. "Why?"

"Because Toothless and I will be there. And because you're Hiccup Haddock, the first dragon trainer, rider of a mighty and absolutely cute Night Fury, and the heir of Berk. You've been through a lot, and after you managed to befriend a Night Fury, a Changewing can't be that hard."

"Thanks, Astrid. I really appreciate your support. And I guess I really am lucky to have an awesome best friend as Toothless and a wonderful girlfriend, even though she's so jealous she's afraid to let me go to an island full of girls, especially when their heir is so pretty-but-not-that-much…"

Astrid raised her fist to punch him again as she heard the word 'pretty', but stopped as she heard the rest of the phrase. Hiccup was way too smart.

"Oh, you want me there and we know it."

"Of course I do."

"And I wouldn't be so jealous if you remembered everything, you know. My Hiccup is extremely trustworthy and we've been through enough to let me know he'd never fall for that strawberry blond nuisance…"

"Come here, you." He said as he pulled her into his arms and kissed her. "I'm still me, you know. Weren't you the one who told me my memories don't define me? They might make me what I am, but I'm still me. I know that each day, I'm closer to the person I once was. And I like that."

"I know. And I like it, too."

Indeed, she could already see traces of her eighteen-year-old Hiccup in him, and that was a great relief. She knew she could trust him to go to the Bog Burglars, but one cannot be too careful and Hiccup had this tendency of getting into trouble…

"Come on, Dragon Boy, you need to rest so we can pack for our trip tomorrow."

With a big smile, he continued walking (or better, limping) with her help towards his home; Toothless and Stormfly were right beside them.

"Hey, by the way…. I was wondering, I think I started wearing red after you told me it was my color… Did it really happen?"

"Well, I was talking to Toothless, but it's not like you could look bad, anyway…"

"I'll take that as a compliment."

"It was one, Silly…" Astrid rolled her eyes and kissed him on the cheek.
