"Then we'll hit the market and grab some supplies." Oliver was busy mapping out the plan in the dirt while the rest of the group watched. "This won't be easy. I expect Lukas to have every corner of Arendelle heavily guarded." He pointed to the dirt map. "Here are the docks. I know a guy who owes me a favor, so getting a ship to Corona won't be hard."

"Elsa and I can get the supplies while you talk to your friend. Matthew can come too." Anna said. Matt was still sleeping off the potion he had taken earlier. He had been out for a couple of hours and Anna suggested they build a fire as the sun went down. Elsa helped gather wood while Oliver went fishing. By the time the moon was present they had a fire going and fish cooking.

"Okay. We'll need plenty of food. And no fish, I'm already growing tired of it." Oliver admitted, slowly rotating his stick in the fire. Elsa nodded in agreement. "I managed to grab a change of clothes for you two so you wouldn't be recognized." He grabbed his bag and handed them a tunic, a pair of pants, and a cloak.

"Wow, black! My favorite color!" Anna exclaimed in a dull tone. Oliver rolled his eyes and let out an exasperated sigh.

"I don't want you to be seen, okay? Getting caught means death, and that's the last thing we want." Anna pursed her lips and narrowed her eyes at him.

"No one in Arendelle wears cloaks like this," Anna began, inspecting the cloak with a look of disgust. "We'll stick out like a sore thumb!"

Oliver rolled his eyes. "It's either that, or no cloak at all. And no cloak means no life, and we wouldn't want that." He stated, putting on his own cloak and waited for Anna to do the same.

"Gods forbid we do it in style." Anna muttered, throwing the cloak over her shoulders and adjusting it.

"I heard that!"

"Good!"

"If it wasn't for me you wouldn't be here right now!" Oliver screamed. Anna's face fell at his words and she uttered an apology. Elsa massaged her temples, already growing tired of the arguing.

"I'm afraid we have no more time to waste." Oliver looked at Matt's sleeping form before continuing,"l'll carry him to the boat. Elsa, could you grab my bag?" Elsa nodded and did as he said. Oliver hoisted his sleeping friend over his shoulder and went to the boat. Oliver carefully set Matt up right as Anna and Elsa followed suit, and Oliver pushed the boat into the water.

"Anna, you're gonna help me row." He handed her the other paddle and went to work. It would take a few hours to get back to Arendelle, and they could see it on the horizon. Oliver thought it was odd that no one had followed them here. He was afraid of what was waiting for them.

"Oliver?"

"Yes Anna?" Her voice no longer sounded playful and teasing, but instead full of worry.

"What happens if Matthew wakes up and doesn't remember anything?" Oliver shifted in his seat and continued rowing. He rubbed the back of his neck, not wanting to think about it. He could be asleep forever, for all he knew.

"I... I don't know. We can only hope that the potion works." He glanced behind his shoulder at his friend and frowned. "He'll be fine Anna." He assured her. Anna slumped her shoulders and began rowing, somewhat eased by Oliver's words.


The rest of the trip was silent except for the sound of waves crashing against the side of the boat. The group had watched as the sun rose, and land is finally in sight.

"We're here." Oliver sighed in relief. He didn't think he could row for much longer, his arms were too sore. "We need to wake him up." He said, gesturing towards Matt.

"I'll do it!" Anna stated, raising her paddle over her head and went to swing down when Elsa stopped her.

"Are you insane?" She hissed, grabbing the paddle from her sister. "Here." She gave Oliver the paddle and hovered over Matt. She shook his shoulder and said his name, but no response.

"This is taking too long." Anna huffed. "Maybe we should try the paddle." She reached for the paddle but Oliver had a death grip on it, holding it just out of her reach.

"Calm down, Anna. Besides, it'll take a hell of a lot more than a paddle to wake him." He returned his attention to the upcoming land and reluctantly started to paddle.

"I hope we aren't going to the fjord." Anna mused. Oliver scoffed.

"Where else would we be going?" Oliver asked. Anna crossed her arms and gave him an unamused look, though he couldn't see it.

"Well I figured we wouldn't be able to go through with all of those ships blocking our way." She stated. She was right, every entrance by water was blocked. There was no way they could sneak through without being caught.

"Lukas hasn't wasted any time." Elsa muttered, her hand grasping Matt's, who stirred in his slumber.

"This is bad." Oliver breathed. He changed their direction as fast as the water allowed. "We need a detour." He scanned the fjord and spotted a clearing a few miles from the castle.

"How long will this take?" Elsa asked. Oliver bit the inside of his cheek and shook his head.

"A couple hours, maybe one if I keep up the pace." He smirked. "I'm sure Prince Lukas has a bounty on our heads, the poor bastard must be really paranoid to have all of these ships here." Anna marveled at the massive ships, her jaw dropping at the size of the vessels.

"That's a good thing, right?" Anna asked. "It means he sees us as a threat."

"Maybe," Oliver started. "Or he thinks we have reinforcements as well. I wouldn't be surprised if he sent someone to find us."

"Isn't that what we're trying to do?"

"Yes, but who knows how many people he can get on his side. He's royalty, so his kingdom is definitely going to defend him." Oliver said.

"I'm royalty too!" Anna snapped.

"True."

"And I have an army!"

"Also true." He grunted between strokes. "But you're army is currently under the command of someone other than yourself, so that leaves you just as royal as me at the moment." Oliver replied. "We're all in the same boat." Elsa stifled a giggle behind them.

"What's so funny?" Anna questioned. Elsa's laughter died down, though a smile still remained present.

"Oliver said we're all in the same boat." Elsa began, though Anna stared blankly at her. "What are we in right now?" Anna looked down and shook her head. Oliver let out a soft laugh as he rowed.

"A boat, Elsa. We're in a boat." Elsa nodded eagerly, waiting for her sister to understand the irony of Oliver's words. Anna was silent in thought.

"Wow, Miss Anna is at a loss for words? I never thought I'd see the day." Oliver muttered.

"Excuse me?"

"Did I stutter?" He challenged. Anna pulled back her arm but Elsa caught it.

"That is enough! Both of you!" She exclaimed. "Oliver, how long until we reach land?" Anna slouched into her seat, resting her chin on her hand.

"Not that long." He replied. Elsa nodded and let go of Anna's arm. "We need to wake Matthew up and explain what's going on before we do anything."

"There's no use, he's out cold." Anna insisted, picking up Matt's arm and letting it drop. "Maybe if we-"

"No, Anna." Elsa said.

"But you didn't let me-"

"We're here." Oliver interrupted. Once the boat was on land,he helped the girls out of the boat and picked up Matt. "Now we need to wake him.

"It shouldn't be this hard to wake someone up." Elsa spoke, her voice full of worry. Oliver set him down on the grass and peered over him. His face looked peaceful, though showed new scars and dried blood. He looked somewhat older than when Oliver first met him.

"Anna, get some water." He said.

"If you're so thirsty then get it yourself." Anna retorted, crossing her arms and sticking her nose up.

"It's for Matthew." Oliver replied, grabbing a tin cup from his bag and filling it up with cold water from the fjord. "And what is your problem all of a sudden?" He asked, flashing her a small smile as he passed. She stuck her tongue out at him as he passed. "If this doesn't work, I don't know what will." He dumped the water on Matt, who started coughing. Elsa sighed in relief as he sat up, wiping the water from his eyes.

"Mathew! Are you okay? Do you know where you are?" Elsa asked, kneeling beside him and placing a hand tentatively on his shoulder. He blinked slowly, taking in his surroundings.

"I'm, really hungry actually." He declared, placing his hand on his stomach. "Please tell me you have food." He looked at Elsa, who looked to Oliver. He reached in his bag an revealed an apple. He tossed it to Matt, who caught it and took a huge bite. Anna took a sat down next to him.

"So, do you remember us?" She asked. Matt took another bite and chewed.

"Of course." He swallowed. "Why wouldn't I?" Oliver joined them on the ground.

"Don't worry, I'll explain everything."


"Everyone knows the plan, yes?" Matt nodded. He was supposed to get food with Anna and Elsa while Oliver got them a ship. Though he didn't mention why they needed a ship nor where they were going. Oliver explained that Arendelle has been taken over by Lukas and that if they were seen, death would ensue.

"What time are we supposed to meet you?" He asked.

"Give me an hour, two at the most." He scanned the ship yard and grimaced. "Getting past the guards will be enough trouble, let alone finding the ship."

"Hold up, you don't even know if you can get the ship?" Anna asked, glaring at Oliver.

"I assume everything will be fine, so should you." He answered. "Now get going, we can't waste anymore time." He gave Elsa a small bag full of coins before leaving. "This should be enough for everything. Good luck." Elsa clasped the bag and nodded.

"I suppose we should get going." Matt suggested. "Where to first?"

"We need food." Anna said. "Oliver said anything but fish." Matt have her a puzzled look, but she just shook her head. "Don't worry about it."

"Come on, this way." Elsa said, leading them to the market place. Matt pulled his hood up and kept his head down. It seemed as if guards just magically appeared wherever they went. Every time they past a group of soldiers, Matt could feel their eyes on his back.

"Elsa." He whispered. Elsa turned to face him. "You two go inside, I'll stay out here in case something happens." Elsa shook her head.

"What if something happens to you?" Matt blinked. Was she worried about him?

"I can take care of myself. Don't worry." He took her hand and squeezed it gently. She smiled sadly and gestured for Anna to follow her.

Matt leaned against the building and peered across the street at a tavern. He could hear an out of tune piano being played, as well as laughter every other minute. He watched as two men were thrown out. He found it odd that the streets were completely empty, no one bustling out of stores or visiting with one another.

"Pssst." Matt narrowed his eyes. "Hey!" He looked to his right and almost yelled in surprise.

"Kristoff?" The man nodded eagerly and waved for him to come over. Matt made sure no one was watching and sauntered over to his friend.

"What happened to you?" He asked. Kristoff grimaced and rubbed his chin.

"I escaped the day the rebels attacked. I had no choice but to go alone." He muttered. "Oliver promised me Anna and Elsa would make it out alive, so I went to stay with my family. I just couldn't take not knowing if everyone was alive or dead." He glanced over at the tavern, then back to Matt. "I should of known this place would be crawling with Lukas's henchmen. Almost got killed when I came back."

"You have to come with us." Matt insisted. "We're leaving for Corona today, hopefully. If Oliver's plan works, we should be gone in a few hours."

"So everyone is okay?" Matt nodded and Kristoff sighed in relief. Matt noticed the absence of his reindeer companion and frowned.

"Where's Sven?"

"I took him up to Oaken's. He'll be fine." Kristoff replied.

"The girls are getting food right now, then we need to head to the ship yard." Matt gestured for him to follow. "Oliver said he knew a guy who could take us." As they approached the store, Anna came out with bags in her arms as Elsa followed. She looked to Matt, then to Kristoff. Her eyes widened and she ran to him, dropping the bags in the process.

"Oh my gods!" Kristoff wrapped her up in a tight embrace as Elsa picked up the fallen goods. "I thought you were dead." She said into his shoulder.

"Nah. I'm okay. Are you?" He asked, pulling back to examine her. She nodded, smiling while Elsa and Matt watched the reunion.

"Did Oliver know about this?" Matt shook his head.

"I doubt it." He answered. "Did you have any trouble in there?" He pointed to the store.

"No. Although Anna doesn't know when to keep her mouth shut." She added with a smirk. Matt chuckled, but frowned when he saw two guards at the tavern eyeing the group. He tugged on Elsa arm and her eyes followed his.

"We should keep moving." Her voice was low, but Anna seemed to have heard it. She pulled away from Kristoff and took his hand as Elsa led them away from the market place.

"We need to be more careful." Matt suggested, glancing behind them as they walked. "These cloaks are suspicious enough."

"That's what I said!" Anna piped up, looking at her cloak in disgust. "Maybe if we added some color..." She trailed off.

"What kind of ship are we taking?" Kristoff asked. Matt shrugged his shoulders and gazed at the vessels in front of him. They looked just like the pirate ships he would hear about in stories when he was younger. He watched as sailors loaded and unloaded cargo, shouts filling the air as they worked.

"I'm hoping one of those." He pointed to one of the largest ships in sight. Kristoff's eyes widened. Matt chuckled at his friend and gazed at the ships, hoping to see Oliver. He felt a hand on his arm and turned to see Elsa.

"Hi."

"Hi." He responded. "What's up?"

"Do you think we're doing the right thing?" She asked. Matt tilted his head in thought.

"As in getting back your crown and stuff?" She nodded, her grasp tightening on his bicep. Of course, he thought they were right to fight back against Lukas. "I think we're doing the right thing." He answered. "Don't you want your kingdom back?"

"Yes, I do." She started, "but I feel like people are endangering themselves for me, and for Anna." She ran a hand through her hair and looked to Matt.

"That's their job, isn't it? They swore to protect you, even if it costs them their lives." He wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her closer. "It's out of your control right now. We'll figure something out later, alright?"

"Hey, there's Oliver." Kristoff announced as a hooded figure walked briskly towards the group.

"So?" Matt asked.

"We have a ship." Oliver stated. "And we have a crew. We can leave whenever, but I suggested we go now." He glanced at the bags in Elsa's free arm. "How much food is there?"

"Enough for a two week trip." Oliver nodded.

"Good." He turned to Kristoff. "Glad you could join us." Oliver patted him on the back. "And glad to see your alive." He muttered. Matt grimaced at his words. What had he missed?
