Elsa loved playing with her sister, no matter what time it was. Even though she had been tired, she was thrilled to have a chance to amuse Anna with her magic, even if it was only slightly. The two of them had snuck off into the ballroom and had transformed it into their own winter wonderland, covering the floor with snow and ice as Anna and Elsa laughed and played. Building Olaf was just one of the many things they did as they played. The most recent game was one where Elsa used her magic to catch Anna. It was fun and both girls were laughing, until Elsa realized her sister was moving too fast.
"Catch me!" Anna had cheered, jumping off one of the snow peaks. Elsa managed to do so, focusing her magic and growing another pillar for her to land on. This pattern continued, but it grew to be too much for Elsa. "Wait!" she yelled, trying to stop her sister from jumping off her last pillar. She hadn't heard and Elsa watched as her sister began to plummet to the floor, showing Elsa that her power had a dark side to it as well. In desperation, Elsa tried to create another pillar but she missed and hit Anna instead, only making things worse.
Seeing her sister unconscious and watching a streak of white spread through her hair was enough to ruin Elsa's playful mood. Now, she was lost and upset, feeling her powers get slightly out of control. Ice begins to cover the walls as she grows fearful of what might happen to her sister. "You're okay, Anna. I got you" she whispered, glad when her parents came inside.
While Elsa did not quite understand what was happening, but she knew it was important. Her parents were pulling Elsa and Anna outside of the castle, to some new place. Elsa was too worried to be excited over the new adventure. She kept glancing at her sister, uncertain of what would happen. She couldn't believe that her powers could do this. Anna had played with her before and nothing bad had happened then.
She watches with hope in her eyes as she meets the rock trolls, hearing that they can fix Anna. Hearing that her sister would be ignorant of her magic was so horrifying for Elsa. Who would be there for her to play with? No one understood her like Anna, but she understood it was for the best. "Listen to me, Elsa, your power will only grow. There is beauty in it, but also great danger. You must learn to control it. Fear will be your enemy." Grand Pabbie had warned her, but something even stranger happened then.
Elsa had been near Grand Pabbie and her sister, but that beam of moonlight suddenly seemed to be directed towards her and her sister. It grew brighter and brighter, almost blinding Elsa as she squinted at the sky. She heard her parents cry out distantly, making her wonder what was happening. Glancing down, she could see that she was far from the ground with her sister. She could see Grand Pabbie rushing over to the queen and speaking with her, but Elsa could not hear his words. All she knew was that she was being drawn higher and higher, until she blacked out and did not remember anything more.
Jack was staring at the night sky, feeling alone after his day of creating snow days around the world. He had been enjoying his magic, as usual, making children laugh as he attempted to get just one of them to believe in him. Even after all of these years, none of them were able to see him. He hated being invisible, but it was the life he was destined to live. It seemed like this was what the Man in the Moon had planned for him, even if he did not understand why.
He thought that the moon was unusually bright tonight, but he didn't mind. He took off from the roof he had been sitting on, deciding it was time for him to move on from this town. He was heading home, hoping that tomorrow he would finally find his first believer. As he arrived, he came to find a strange sight. On the street, there were two girls, huddled together. One appeared to be crying while the other was a sleep. He could see pale blond hair on the head of the girl that was awake and Jack got an idea. He didn't like to see children cry and he was going to make this girl's tears vanish.
Carefully, Jack created a single snowflake and blew it towards her, hoping its beauty would catch her eye. He waited eagerly for her reaction, but he grew surprise at what she did. She saw the snowflake and her eyes grew round with fear, glancing down at her own hands and backing away from the girl she had been holding. "No, I can control it. Grand Pabbie said not to fear. I won't hurt you again, Anna. I promise." she whispered, sniffling slightly.
Jack sighed, seeing that the girl seemed to be able to cheer herself up. His job was done here, even if he hadn't exactly realized what he had done. That girl was strange, but he was going to see her a lot it seemed. She was the new resident of the town, one who would be here for quite some time. He would learn how to amuse her, just like he amused all of the children. Smiling, Jack took off again in search for something else to entertain him. Sandy would be arriving any time and he just had to watch when he created dreams for the children.
