Outside the castle, the Guardians were piling into the sleigh, Kristoff clutching Anna in his arms, carrying her bridal style as he climbed in. Jack had helped Anna and Olaf outside, then rushed back inside the castle, no explaining at all. The Sandman was currently spinning his dream sand over her head in lazy circles, trying to distract her from the fact that she was pierced by ice, soon to turn into popsicle. Even though the little man was only trying to help, the only images that appeared from the sand were those of Anna and Elsa playing in the snow, building Olaf. Before he stopped, an image of Anna and Elsa hugging appeared. Kristoff swatted at it, and the image disintegrated.

Listen little buddy, I know you're trying to help, but I don't think that's working," he pointed out, Anna rolled her eyes, pushing herself off Kristoff's lap so she was sitting next to him in the sleigh.

"I'm not an invalid, you two," she said, "so stop trying t pester me with magical sand, okay?!" She opened her mouthy o say more but a hacking cough cam rout instead, and she doubled over, her shoulders wracked with wet coughs, one after the other. Kristoff rubbed her back and held her tight as he suddenly lurched forward, the sleigh being lifted into the sky.

"Buckle up!" North called back. Next to Anna, Bunny had his ears flat against his head, nose and whiskers twitching nervously as he pawed the sleigh.

"There are no seat belts!" he shouted in his Australian accent. North laughed, flicking the reigns.

"Just expression, Bunny!" he laughed, and the sleigh shot foreword. Olaf suddenly flew out of his seat, body falling apart as his head hit the back of the sleigh. There was sudden screech behind them- Tooth, who was flying behind the sleigh- had caught the body. Anna glared pointedly at Olaf's head, which was sitting in her lap.

"You really need to get that fixed," she pointed out, Bunny looking at Olaf with awe and shock, mouth agape. Tooth sped up until she flew into the sleigh, settling herself down on the floor of the vehicle, holding Olaf's body an arms length away.

"Is this yours?" she asked. The stubby arms and legs wiggled happily, excited to be reunited with its owner. As she helped Olaf reattach himself she gasped.

"What is it, mate?" Bunny asked. Tooth paid him no attention, her elegant fingers grabbing at Anna's brad.

"Princess Anna- your hair!" she exclaimed. Anna touched her hair absentmindedly, watching As Kristoff was now freaking out as well.

"What about my hair?"

"I-it's turning white!" Kristoff and Tooth exclaimed in unison. Indeed, it was. The singled white strand that was originally in her hair was spreading, sucking away all the red to be replaces with snow white strands. Anna looked at it for a few seconds, then to Kristoff.

"Does it look bad?" she asked hopefully. Kristoff hesitated- how was he going to answer that? He was not a hair expert! Tooth was also looking at him nervously. Geez, he thought, girls are so paranoid about their appearances!

"….No! Not at all!" he said after a pause. A few minutes of awkward silence and Olaf detached his head, holding it up until it was level with the passengers knees. Bunny cringed- did he have to do that while they were in a sleigh? And besides, it had to hurt- but then again, snow didn't have bones, last time he checked.

"You hesitated," Olaf said matter-of-factly, replacing his head quickly.

"What?!" Kristoff scoffed, sputtering out, "I-I did not!" Tooth gave Anna a smile, saying, "Don't worry, it looks fine dear!"

"No fighting while I drive!" North demanded, peering over his shoulder at them. Bunny hopped up in his seat, pointing wildly.

"Watch where you're going, mate!" he cried. North rolled his eyes, turning back to face the road, shouting, "Kristoff! We are in the right direction, no?" Kristoff snapped his head up, yelling back, "Land now!" He had seen it a foot away, the field where the doctors lived. Although besides being doctors, they were the love experts he had told Anna he knew. Although he was really nervous because they were also his family…. and Anna was with him….

"But she's engaged to Prince Hans," he said to himself as the sleigh descended, sliding a few yards in the snow before slowing to a stop. Anna perked up, raising an eyebrow.

"What?" she asked. Kristoff jumped up, shaking his head.

"Nothing, don't worry about it," he said in a rush, his face going red. Shrugging, Anna went to follow him off the sleigh, but as she went to jump down, she felt immense pain in her gut and she fell, landing like a rag doll in Kristoff's arms.

"I got you!" he said soothingly as she sneezed, "I got you, it' okay…" Sighing, he gently put her down, and they followed him to the field, pushing a tree's branches out of their way as they then waded through vegetation, reaching a clearing that looked to be a bit smaller then North's workshop.

Rocks created a spiral until they reached the center of the clearing, snow and moss covering sparse areas. The others watched as Kristoff ambled into the clearing, darting in betaen rocks as he knocked on them. Turning, he held his arms out wide, saying, "Guys. Meet the doctors. And Anna?"

"Yes, Kristoff?" she answered unsure.

"These are also the love experts I was telling you about," he said, then added with a shrug, "and you all may as well know this is my family." Ana nodded politely, watching as the ice cutter and Sven knocked and lifted and sniffed at rocks, saying things like, "Hey guys, I'm home!" and to a rather large boulder, "Hey, Gramps- did you lose weight?"

"He's crazy," Olaf deduced.

"Loony," Bunny agreed. North crossed his arms, waiting patiently for something to happen.

"Hey, Anna!" Olaf said to her from the side of his mouth, "when I say so, run, okay?!" Anna gave him a confused glance as Kristoff went on knocking rocks and turning them over. Sven had abandoned the activity and resorted to paling in the snow, frost sticking in clumps in his fur.

"How about we run now?" Olaf told Anna, then when she didn't move, asked, "why aren't you running?" Before she could answer, Bunny screeched, hopping up and down in the snow. Suddenly, the rocks started rolling around, a low rumble echoing in the field until they seemed to unroll, like a crept being put on the floor.

"Well! Long time no see, Kristoff!" said one of the…. rocks. Although to Anna they looked more like….

"Trolls!" she exclaimed with a child-like grin.

"Hey, Granny," Kristoff said sheepishly, jutting his chin at the Guardians and Anna, "We need your help." Following his gaze, Kristoff's grandma jumped, a smile breaking in her face, "Look, everybody!" Suddenly a sea of trolls were glaring down on the Guardians. A few of the younger ones and taken to swinging on Sven's antlers. Nervously, Anna gave a small wave. No doubt the group looked strange to the trolls, considering it was made up of a talking rabbit and a fairy, as well as a magical sandman.

"Hi," she sid meekly, then the trolls suddenly cheered.

"Look! Kristoff bought a girl home!" Anna found herself pulled into the clearing by a few trolls, smiling nervously, saying, Kristoff, what's going on?" Kristoff rolled his eyes.

"Gran, we really don't have time-" he began, but was cut off when his granny said, "so when are you two getting married?" Kristoff and Anna instantly paled, much to the entertainment of the Guardians, who burst into gales of laughter.

"No!" Anna blurted, Kristoff nodding in agreement, but the trolls were not paying attention, instead going on about how great Kristoff was, although he had strange habits- like wearing shoes, or having a reindeer as a best friend, for example.

"That's nice, but-" Anna was cut off when she felt something being shoved onto her head- a crown, she realized, reaching up to touch it, laughing when they draped a cape made of leaves and moss around Kristoff's shoulders. His face was beet red, and the Guardians were laughing hysterically now.

"She's engaged to someone else!" Kristof suddenly shouted as his grandmother started asking how they had met. Appalled, the trolls stopped, a few looking forlorn.

"I see…." the troll said, letting its arms hang at its sides. Anna gave Kristoff a sympathetic look as if to apologize. Blushing, he cleared his throat.

"Listen," he said, "Anna needs help getting her sister back home, but now she needs a doctor. Can you help?" The ancient troll looked at Anna, yelping when she saw the white hair among her red strands, the white spreading as she stood there, waiting patiently. The troll beckoned Anna over.

"Come here, honey," she said, "let me see what happened." As soon s Anna took her first step, she swooned, smashing to the ground like a rag doll. The Guardians looked on, worried- if Anna was hurt, who was going to convince Elsa to come home?

"The poor thing… Tooth commented sympathetically, wings a blur as she hovered a good few feet off the ground. Carefully the troll pressed a hand against Anna's forehead, her shoulder. Anna shivered, letting out a cough.

"Ice has pierced her," the troll said finally, "if she doesn't get help then it will reach her heart."

"What happens when it reaches her heart?" North piped up.

"She will freeze completely," the troll said, "outside and in. And when it comes time for summer…."

"…..she'l melt, won't she?" North finished. The troll nodded gravely. As soon as it was confirmed, Kristoff saw the white color travel farther until only one of her braid was still red, save a few streaks in her bangs.

"If it was a head, then I could fix it right now," the troll said, "but it isn't."

"Is there anyway to cure her?" Kristoff asked.

"One, but only one," the troll said.

"Well? What is it?" Kristoff asked in a rush as Anna coughed again.

"True loves kiss can thaw a frozen heart," the troll answered. Bunny groaned.

"Why does it have to always be a riddle?" he complained.

"To keep things more interesting, I think," Tooth said, "you know, keep it dramatic-"

"Yeah, yeah, it was a rhetorical question," Bunny cut her off, annoyed. Tooth rolled her eyes, turning her attention back to the trolls.

"Well, who's her true love?" Tooth asked Kristoff. She had stopped hovering as was now standing next to Olaf. The sand man had a golden question mark floating over his head, next to a heart.

"….Hans," Kristof muttered, then louder, "Hans!"

"Hands?" North asked, confused. Kristoff scooped Anna up, rushing back tot eh sleigh.

"No- Prince Hans of the Southern Isles!" Kristoff exclaimed, "they're engaged!" Buny shrugged, "So? What about him?"

"Anna said it was true love when she met Hans at the coronation for Elsa!" Kristoff rattled on, "so that means that he can break the spell! North- we have to go back to the castle, pronto!"
