Hello, everyone! Welcome to Between Stars and Ice!

Now, some of my veteran readers may recognize a few chapters every now and then. That's because this story is a re-write of my most popular story, Moments.

I saw the success of Moments, then re-read some of the older chapters and I realized: I can do so much better. Some of the early chapters in Moments were 98% dialogue, some of them had major plot holes or plots that came in varying degrees of stupidness (cough cough chapter 4).

I also realized that Moments is insanely fluffy. Like too fluffy. Between Stars and Ice will have so much more, including:

DRAAAAAMMMAAAAA

multiple storylines ooooooh

So much drama

But also some cutes to balance the drama

I'm contemplating the idea of a bisexual Elsa... No solid plans yet but it's gonna work and it's gonna be great.

Anyway, enjoy the first chapter of Between Stars and Ice! And remember: Disney owns Frozen!

"Kristoff!" Anna's shaky voice called across the fjords. She was dying. Only an act of true love could save her. A true love's kiss.

"Anna!" The mountain man called and ran to her, slipping on the ice.

The sound of a sword being unsheathed got their attention, and they saw Prince Hans towering over Elsa, sword in hand, ready to strike and end Elsa's reign as Queen.

With one last glance toward Kristoff, almost as if to say 'I'm sorry', Anna ran to sacrifice herself to save her sister. She stopped in the path of the sword and at the last second, she froze to solid ice, shattering the sword and sending the evil prince flying backwards.

Kristoff had felt pain before. Frostbite, concussions, broken bones. But nothing could ever compare to the pain he felt when he saw the last breath leave Anna's frozen body. He didn't ever want to admit it, but in the week and a half he had known her, he had really grown close to her.

He silently stood there watching the Queen mourn for her sister. And then the most amazing thing happened. Anna slowly came back to life. Saving her sister was an act of true love, and it thawed both of their frozen hearts.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

They saw Hans slowly regain consciousness on the ship. Kristoff immediately walked towards him, ready to pound that sorry excuse of a prince into the ground, but Anna held him back. "I've got this."

"Anna...?" Hans muttered, stumbling as he stood up. "But... She froze your heart. I- She- You-"

"The only frozen heart around here is yours." Anna said to Hans before punching him in the face, knocking him off the boat.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

That night, Kristoff was in the stables grooming Sven, though not with much success, as his fur was matted and filthy from the long journey they had embarked on, but Kristoff didn't really care. In actuality, he was just waiting for Anna to show up.

"Hi Kristoff! Whatcha doin?" The princess asked as she practically danced into the room.

"Just, uh... Grooming Sven." The man sighed as he continued to brush his reindeer.

"Cool." Anna smiled.

Embarrassed, Kristoff rubbed the back of his neck. "It's not cool."

"Yeah it is. Reindeers are cool."

The two kept talking, as if nobody had nearly died just hours before. And then it came up.

"Thank you for helping me these past few days. I surely would've died without your help." She chuckled. "I nearly died even with your help. Well, I guess by all technicalities I actually did die, but then again... I don't actually know what qualifies as dying... But yeah, thank you for helping me."

"Anna... I'm so glad you're alive." Kristoff pulled her into a hug. "I don't know what I would've done if you had died. I wouldn't have been able to live with myself if something had happened to you. You're a really sweet girl, Anna. I kinda like you."

"I kinda like you too." Anna quickly kissed him on the cheek as a thank you. Realizing what she had done, she quickly blurted, "I am so sorry. That did not just happen." She then ran away, clearly embarrassed.

Kristoff sat there for several moments, a dumbfounded look on his face. "Sven... She just kissed me..."

"No duh." Kristoff said to himself, pretending to be Sven.

"That didn't mean anything, did it?"

"Did you want it to?"

"I... I dunno..."

"Well, do you like her?"

"That's just it! I don't know!"

"Face it, you like her."

"Yeah... I guess I do like her."

'But I'm not supposed to...' He thought.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Anna was pacing around her room, mentally interrogating herself.

'Why did I kiss him? I don't like him, do I? I don't know... He's really nice and brave and beautiful... Do I like him? Maybe I do. Maybe... Maybe that kiss meant nothing and... And... Maybe he'll just leave and forget about me and I'll marry some Prince someday... Who am I kidding? I have feelings for Kristoff, but there's no way he'd like me back... And even if he did, he's a commoner. I can't love a commoner... Can I?'

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Come on, come on, come on!" Anna shouted, dragging a blindfolded Kristoff through the town, accidentally running him straight into a lamppost. "Gah! I'm sorry! Anyway..." She took off his blindfold. "I owe you a sled."

"Are you serious?"

"Yes!" Anna squealed. "And it's the latest model!"

"I can't accept this!"

"You have to. No exchanges. No returns. Queen's orders. She's named you the official Arendelle Ice Master and Deliverer."

"What? That's not a thing."

"Pft! Oh sure it is! And, it's even got cup holders. Do you like it?"

"Like it? I love it!" He picked Anna up and twirled her around. "I could kiss you!" He immediately set her down, and there was a split second of the most awkward silence in the history of forever. "I- I could... I mean I'd like to. May I- I mean, we me? Wait, what?" He turned away. 'Why did you say that? You know you're not supposed to be in love with her-' Kristoff's thoughts were interrupted when Anna kissed him on the cheek. Shocked, he turned his head toward her.

"We may." Anna said, and it took Kristoff a second to realize that she was giving him permission to kiss her.

So they kissed. It wasn't awkward this time, it was warm like the summer sun, and sweet like chocolate. Throughout all the moments she and Kristoff had shared since meeting each other only two weeks ago, this one was definitely the best. Anna was so happy, but she couldn't suppress a tiny feeling of guilt.

'Is this right?' She thought for a moment. Then Kristoff pulled her closer, and she knew in that one second that being here, being close to this mountain man, was anything but wrong.

Hehehe what do you think of this revamped story? Care to leave a review?
