Hiccup was walking towards a house to deliver some cupcakes that Nanny Camila baked and sell. The streets were so crowded with people walking here and there that Hiccup needed to walked carefully to not bump into anybody. Some people were with their phones in their hands, some clutching books, some on their way to work and some going to school. It was a busy day indeed but he finally found the customer's house address.

21, Mills Street.

He walked up the stone steps before ringing the door bell. A shuffling sound came from inside the house after a few seconds and soon a clicking sound was heard before the door swung open to reveal a young woman in her early twenties.

She smiled kindly at Hiccup. Hiccup returned the smile.

" These are your orders, Ms.—oh, sorry. Ms. Fred." Hiccup said, handing the woman her orders.

The woman pulled out some cash from her jacket pocket and handed them to Hiccup.

" Keep the balance. You look like you come from a far place. So treat yourself to something cool for this hot weather," Ms. Fred said.

Hiccup eyes widened.

" Oh... why?" he asked.

" You are a nice young guy. And I like the way you're loyal to Nanny Camila," she replied.

" Thank you," Hiccup thanked.

" Welcome, sweety," and with that, Ms. Fred closed the door slowly after Hiccup walked away.

He didn't spent the balance of course... instead, he brought it home to Nanny Camila.

" I'm back. Nanny... here's the money. Ms. Fred gave more than she should have. Well, I'm..." he stopped talking when he saw Nanny Camila with her glasses on, reading a letter silently with the children surrounding her. " What's that...?" he asked softly.

The old lady looked up and smiled sadly.

" Come here, dear..." she called out, patting on the empty spot beside her.

Hiccup walked to her slowly before sitting down beside her. The nanny gave him the letter. He read it and widened his eyes.

" What... how... why?" he asked.

" I don't know. They want you. You are one of the chosen youngsters. Why don't you go? I think it is better. We all will be alright if you go... you have been such a good boy so you deserve sitting around with young people your age as well," Nanny Camila said, her eyes sparkling with tears... same goes to the children.

" Um... of course I'm not going. I'm nineteen! Why now? How do they even know me?" Hiccup asked nobody in particular.

" Hiccup... you are meant to go there. I have that feeling, and old people are always right. Now what do you say, are you in or not?" Nanny Camila said.

" But how about you and Tommy, and Tina, and Carol, and Bob, and—"

" Don't worry, Brother Hiccup. We're good," Tommy interrupted him, though he sniffled a little.

" You sure?" he asked.

The children and Nanny Camila nodded with a smile.

" Then... well... You won't be angry if I agree to go, would you?" he asked again.

The others shook their head. He then finally nodded before pulling them all into a group hug. These were his family for already two years.
