*slides past everyone* H...........E..........Y! *slides back and falls over laughing* Sorry I was rollerblading in the house.....again 

*laughing* Anyway.....onto the summary

Summary: When in the middle of a battle against the Hunters Snotlout accidentally calls Hiccup - 'Useless'. Hiccup's old wounds are reopened and he starts to act like he did before he trained Toothless. But when the enemy attacks will he snap out of it or will he fall apart?

.........................

Hiccup was leading the riders in a battle against the Hunters. He shouted commands and they followed them.

"Snotlout! Take out the archers!" Hiccup yelled.

"Sure thing Useless!" Snotlout shouted back, before paling and looking at Hiccup who had frozen, "I'm so sorry Hiccup! I didn't mean...."

"Just get to it!" Hiccup yelled, his voice choking.

Everyone could tell he was on the verge of tears. Sadly Snotlout did the task and soon the riders left for the Edge.

"Hiccup. I'm so so sorry for what I said. I didn't mean to say it." Snotlout apologized profusely.

"It's fine." Hiccup whispered, his mind in another place.

"Are you okay Hic?" Astrid asked, worried for her boyfriend.

"Yeah. I'm fine." he whispered, flying ahead of the group.

Toothless warbled softly, worried for his rider.

"I'm fine bud." Hiccup whispered softly, tears running down his cheeks. 

.................

When they got back to the Edge, the gang went to the Clubhouse but Hiccup went into his hut without Toothless. 

"I'm worried." Astrid said.

"We all are Astrid. I'm afraid that Snotlout may have opened a few old wounds of Hiccup's." Fishlegs stated, "And Hiccup's not dealing with it well."

"No. No he's not. Guys I'm sorry. I never meant to call him that again. It slipped out. If you want me to leave than I will." Snotlout said looking at the floor.

"Snotlout. We all know you didn't mean to do it. You don't have to go." Astrid said, surprisingly gentle.

"Thanks guys. Now what's the plan?" Snotlout said.

"We'll try to get him back to normal." Fishlegs said.

"We need something to snap him out of it." Ruff said.

"Yes but what?" Heather asked.

"We'll try everything." Astrid said.

.................

A few weeks later...

Hiccup still wasn't back to normal. The gang had tried everything, but nothing worked.

"Guys! Hunters to the north!" Snotlout exclaimed, landing in the arena.

"Let's mount up!" Astrid said, "Someone go get Hiccup."

"I'm on it!" Snotlout said, heading to Hiccup's hut.

"Hiccup!" he exclaimed, "Come on the Hunters are attacking."

"I'm coming." Hiccup answered softly.

Soon they joined the battle. 

"Hiccup! What are we going to do?!" Fishlegs asked, dodging a boulder.

Hiccup sat there, "Why are you asking me?"

"Hiccup you're our leader! Snap out of whatever state you're in cause if you don't we're toast!" Snotlout yelled, dodging some arrows.

Hiccup shook his head and began to give orders. The gang smiled. This was the Hiccup that they were use to.
