But then, a spark lit the darkness. Elsa opened her eyes, finding herself standing in a pool of moonlight. It was if the moon had a face, and it was smiling at her. With the moonlight surrounding her, Elsa felt secure, almost even happy. But then she heard a soft cry from behind her. She looked back into the life she had left to see Jack collapsed on the floor next to her body. Everyone was gathered around, watching Jack cry over her in the middle of the silent room. Olaf ran in and dropped a bunch of drinks when he saw her. Elsa tried to go back, to speak to them, anything, but she was stopped by an unseen force. She looked up and realized it was the moon. The man in the moon.
"Please, you don't understand. I have to go back! Please! Just let me go back!" Elsa cried.
Are you sure that is what you want? The moon seemed to respond.
"Of course! I want to be with my family, with Jack. I want to rule my kingdom. I want to live!"
Ah yes, Jack Frost. But Jack is a spirit Elsa. If you go back, you will be a mere mortal. Jack will remain the same as you grow old. And when you die, Jack will live on without you.
"I don't care. I love Jack. As long as we have this time together, I will be happy. Even a few more minutes with him is better than an eternity of never seeing him again."
You have a pure heart Elsa. You wish to return not for yourself, but for those you love. However, I will not send you back to the life you had.
"But I-"
I will, instead, make you a spirit of winter and freedom. You will be like Jack, everlasting. And, as a wedding present, all shall be able to see you until you live out your natural life span.
"Thank you!"
And with that, a burst of light flashed around her.
Jack continued to mourn over Elsa, but suddenly her body vanished. He looked around, confused. The light of the man in the moon flashed above him, and he spotted Elsa, glowing like an angel above him.
"Elsa?" he gasped, astonished.
"Hi Jack." Jack flew up to Elsa and hugged her tight.
"But you-you died!"
"That did in fact happen," Elsa agreed. "But the moon brought me back as a spirit, like you!"
"So we'll be together forever?" Jack asked.
Instead of answering, Elsa kissed him.
"I'll take that as a yes."
That Christmas was a wonderful one. Elsa helped decorate the ballroom and Anna didn't throw anything into the cake. There was plenty of chocolate fondue. A huge ball was held at the palace, and most of the kingdom was in attendance. Robert followed Clara as she passed out drinks to guests. Elsa and Jack danced in the ballroom as swirls of snowflakes trailed behind them. Anna and Kristoff sat together in a corner, marveling at the beautiful ballroom and at how great the day was.
"Hey, can I say something crazy?" Kristoff asked. Anna giggled.
"I love crazy."
Kristoff pulled out a ring he had made of ice with Jack's help. "Will you marry me?"
"Can I say something totally reasonable? Of course I will Kristoff!" Anna started crying with joy. And then the ring melted in Anna's hand.
"Oh, um Kristoff dear?" Anna said quietly.
"Yes?"
"The ring... just melted."
"Jack Frost! This was your idea!"
"Sorry man." Jack called from the dance floor. "I forgot mortals were so warm." Elsa giggled from behind him
"I'll give it its own personal flurry!" Elsa waved her hand in Anna's direction.
Anna' teeth began to chatter as a small snow pile formed on her head. "B-b-but my h-h-hand is s-s-so c-c-c-cold."
"We'll have the wedding soon then," Kristoff smiled. He leaned in and whispered "I figured this would happen, so I have a backup." As he slid the new ring on her finger, Anna kissed him.
