(Carlos's P.O.V)

I knelt by her side, stroking her blonde hair, and trying hard not to shed any tears. A few fell onto her white dress as the ground beneath us began to freeze. The ice and frost traveled up from the floor to the pillars and finally to the ceiling, and when the ice reached the top, it burst, sending snow showering on us. The last of her magic. I touched her cheek while I felt her skin was cold; colder than usual.

Suddenly, the door to the ballroom flew open and a man and a woman ran through; King Hans and Queen Elsa. They ran up to us. "Elsie," Hans said. "What have you done to her? Who are you?" He started to draw his sword.

"Whoa! I-it's OK, your Majesties." I held up my hands in defense. "I didn't do this to your daughter. I'm Carlos de Vil, and-"

"A VK?!" the Queen gasped. "How do we know you're not lying?"

"Because THAT is proof." I pointed to the remains of the fire machine. "That's a machine that was built by Westly, the Duke of Weselton's son." The King and Queen shared a glance.

"The boy that locked us in our room saying he was going to take over Arendelle?" Hans questioned.

"Yeah," I confirmed. "When Elsie froze the machine to save everyone and everything, she was hit with a fire beam, and then-" my voiced cracked.

"Do you love her?" Elsa asked. I took a deep breath before answering.

"Yes, Your Majesty. More than anything." The royal couple nodded to each other.

"To her room, fast!" Hans demanded. "We must save her, now!" Without hesitation, I picked Elsie up and ran with her parents to her room. Hans tried the door, but it was locked. Elsa stepped forward and blew on the door knob, freezing it. I skillfully kicked the door down without dropping Elsie. I went to her bed and laid her down gently.

"Guys!" came a familiar voice. Mal, Evie, Jay, and Jamie ran into the room, led by Duchess, who jumped into Hans's arms. "What happened?" Mal said again.

"Westly's gone..." I trailed. "But so is Elsie." I looked back at her beautiful face.

"No, she can't be." said Jamie. She went to the bed and stood over Elsie.

"What happened to her?" asked Evie.

"She beat Westly," I replied. "But not the fire. She was hit with a fire beam when the machine blew up."

"So where's Westly now?" Jay asked.

"Back on the Isle, I suppose." I shrugged.

"She still has a pulse." Jamie said. "But it would take a miracle to revive her."

"Duchess, go get Kristoff and Anna," Hans said, sending the little Dalmatian out of the room to get the Princess and Prince Consort. "They've learned spells from the trolls." he said once more.

"And I'll help with the lock," Evie volunteered, running after the dog and out of the room.

"And while we're waiting on that," said Mal. "I'll do this." She pulled out her spell book. "While this is an evil spell book, it had healing spells. Maybe one can bring her back."

Mal opened her book and started at the beginning. About halfway through, Evie returned with Anna and Kristoff, the Princess carrying Duchess. "Oh, Elsie!" Anna gasped, she and her husband running towards their niece's bedside.

"What happened?" Kristoff asked.

"Long story," Jay said. "Basically some whacko tried to set all the villains on the Isle of The Lost free, and he came here so he and his chump Dad could take over Arendelle, but Elsie used her magic and blew the machine up, but she got hit with fire, and boom, now we're here. Wow, apparently not that long of a story."

Everyone in the room blinked at him before Elsa asked. "We need your help."

Hans said, "To save Elsie, we need a spell. A magic reversal spell." Kristoff and Anna shared a glance.

"Guys, we don't know those kinds of spells," said Anna.

"We only know very simple spells," Kristoff replied. "Like opening a door when your hands are full."

"Plus, you're human, so it probably wouldn't work anyway." Mal said.

"Mal," whispered Evie.

"Sorry, still kinda learning how to be nice," she replied.

"Keep going, Mal," I said.

"Uh, I can't, Carlos."

"What?"

"I've gone through every single healing spell in here. Nothing's worked."

"No!" I exclaimed, taking the book. "There has to be one more. There has to!" I frantically flipped through the pages, and before I knew it, I reached the back cover. "There's not another one in here." I handed the book back to Mal. She walked towards the back wall.

"This is my fault." she said.

"Mal, don't blame yourself," Jamie said.

"We should've fought with Elsie. I shouldn't have held you guys back. This wouldn't have happened."

"But Westly was after Elsie and Arendelle in the first place, Mal," Evie assured. "This isn't anyone's fault except his."

"And there has to be some way to bring Elsie back." Jay said. "If there's one thing we've learned, there's always a way."

"But I've tried every spell," said Mal.

"Wait," Evie piped up. "What about true love's kiss? After all, it is the most powerful thing on Earth."

"But Elsie doesn't…" Jamie started to say. But then, everyone turned to look at me. "Carlos, you're the only one who can save Elsie."

"Me?" I asked in disbelief. Not in disbelief that it wouldn't work, but disbelief that I was Elsie's true love. "No way."

"Carlos," the Queen said. "If you love her, do it."

"King Hans?" I said, earning a blessing nod from the King. "Alright, I'll try." I went over to my beautiful princess laying on the bed, before singing softly to her.

All my life has been a series of doors in my face

And suddenly I bump into you

And I've been searching my whole life to find my own place

And maybe it's the party talking

Or the chocolate fondue

But with you

I found my place

And it's nothing like I've ever known before

Love is an open door

I removed my forehead from hers before I looked at her unconscious form. I gulped, and then kissed her lips softly, but with as much love as I could. A few seconds passed, and Elsie's eyes didn't open. I held back more tears. "See? Told you it wouldn't work." I ran out of Elsie's room, wanting to be anywhere but there.

(Elsie's P.O.V)

My eyes slowly fluttered open. I was met with two faces looking above me. "Mom? Dad?" I whispered. Was I dead? They both gasped at the same time.

"Elsie!" they exclaimed. I sat up while my parents crushed me in a huge bear hug. "Oh, we're so glad you're alive!" Dad said.

"We thought we'd lost you!" said Mom.

"You're gonna if you don't let me breathe!" I gasped, prompting them to release me. "Aunt Anna! Uncle Kristoff!"

"Elsie!" they said. They both hugged me too. Then I was met with a warm tongue on my face.

"Duchess!" I giggled as my Dalmatian continued to lick my face and wag her tail. When she finally calmed down, a black blur embraced me.

"Elsie, your OK!" Jamie yelled. "Don't you EVER do something stupid like that again!" I hugged my best friend back tightly. She sat down beside me, and I saw who else was in the room with me.

"Guys!" I said as Mal, Evie, and Jay moved to embrace me one by one. "But wait," I noted when I surveyed the room. "Aren't we missing someone? Is he alright?"

"Yeah, he's fine." said Jamie. "And you have him to thank for you being alive right now."

"What happened?" I asked.

"True love." my friends said in unison after looking at each other. I mulled that over, then I got it.

"Carlos!" I gasped. I jumped up from my bed, and out the door, knowing exactly what to do next.
