The sun was finally shining from the warm summer sky as it glistened over the kingdom of Arendelle. The waters on the picturesque docks were soon filled with ships moving cargo and people about the kingdom. Everyone was finally happy to see the clear blue sky once again.
On one of the ships, a local dignitary had tossed Hans into a small cage on the upper deck. He sat alone in his cell aboard a ship preparing to return to the Southern Isles.
"Now I will see to it that I return this scoundrel back to his country," the dignitary told the royal handler. "Aye, of course," the royal handler said in agreement. "Now we shall see what his twelve brothers will think of his behavior!"
From nearby, soldiers from the Arendelle castle were politely escorting the Duke and his two guards to their ship. "This is unacceptable!" the Duke protested in anger. "I am innocent! "I am a victim of fear! And—oh! My neck!" He paused for a while to rub at his sore neck. "I demand to see the queen at once!" he demanded.
"Oh, yes, of course," the royal handler told the Duke. He took out a piece of parchment and unfolded it before him. "I do have a message from the queen herself: 'Arendelle will henceforth and, forever no longer, do business of any sort with Weaseltown.'" "Weselton!" the Duke shouted as he was taken aboard his ship "It's Weselton!"
Meanwhile, in the village square, Anna and Tintin were racing through the streets, leading a blindfolded Kristoff behind them. "Come on, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!" Anna exclaimed. Without noticing, Anna was running toward a lamppost. "Post!" Tintin said. "What?" Anna asked. Then, Kristoff rammed straight into the lamppost!" "Ow!" Kristoff yelled out, rubbing his head. "You know, you're not a very good blindfold guide."
Snowy began to bark excitedly. Finally, the friends stopped. "Ready?" Anna asked. She then pulled the blindfold off of Kristoff and revealed the surprise. "Ta da!" Anna exclaimed. before them stood a fancy new sled! "Tintin and I owe you a new sled!"
Kristoff was indeed awestruck as he saw Sven gesture to the new sled. "Are you serious?" he asked. "You're too kind, but I can't accept this." Anna laughed a short laugh. "No, you have to," she said. "No returns. Queen's orders." Tintin then showed Kristoff a shiny royal medal hung around Sven's neck. "And speaking of the queen," he said, "she's named you the official Arendelle ice master and deliverer."
"That's not even a thing," Kristoff said. "Of course it is," Anna said. "And it's even got a cup holder! Do you like it?" "Like it?" Kristoff said, embracing Anna. "I love it! I could kiss you right now!" He paused, feeling quite bashful. "I mean, I'd like to. May I? I mean, may we? Wait, what?"
Anna leaned over and gave Kristoff a quick kiss on the cheek. "We may," Anna said, smiling. Kristoff grinned. Then he leaned in and gave Anna a kiss right back. But this time, it was a real kiss, sweet and perfect for Anna. Tintin smiled at the two and headed back to the castle to meet with Elsa.
Not too far away, Olaf was beginning to enjoy the warm weather, with help from the little snow cloud hovering above his head. He paused and stooped down to see a big bouquet of pretty flowers before him. He picked up the bouquet and held it to his nose, taking a big sniff. Suddenly he sneezed, and his carrot nose shot right out of his face!
Sven stood nearby and caught the carrot in his mouth. For a moment, it looked as if the reindeer was about to chomp on the carrot. Instead, Sven happily plucked it back on Olaf's face. Olaf smiled and petted the reindeer.
Just past Olaf, Anna and Tintin were both racing back to the castle. When they got there, they were amazed to find something really amazing! The castle gates were wide open. Elsa stood at the center of the courtyard. All around, people were strapping on their ice skates. Parts of the castle that were destroyed earlier had been repaired…with ice!
"Are you ready?" Elsa asked the growing crowd. She raised her arms high in the air, swirled them around, and created picturesque ice sculptures and a glowing orb of white light in the air! She then stomped down on the ground, creating a beautiful ice rink in the courtyard!
Anna and Tintin both approached Elsa. "The gates are open," Anna said. "I like the open gates." Elsa put one arm on Anna's shoulder. "We're never closing them again," Elsa said. She then turned to Tintin. "You know, Elsa," Tintin told Elsa, "way back when we first met, I've always wanted to tell you how extremely attractive you were." "What?" Elsa asked. Then, without warning, Tintin leaned over and planted a strong and firm kiss on Elsa' lips. Elsa enjoyed the feeling and cradled Tintin's neck as she kissed him back. "Awww," Anna and the other villagers said in unison.
Elsa smiled at Tintin. "That was beautiful," she said. "Thanks," Tintin said. "Oh, and one more thing," Elsa said. "What?" Tintin asked. Elsa then waved her hand and created ice skates for Anna and Tintin! Elsa pulled Anna and Tintin toward the ice rink and they skated together.
Behind them, Kristoff and Sven were sliding beside them. But Kristoff wasn't quite getting the hang of it. But he finally managed to pull through, keeping his balance as he skated across the ice.
Last came Olaf, who slid next to Snowy as he skated beside Anna, Tintin, and Elsa. Together, they all skated happily across the ice, amidst the warm, inviting summer sun. Summer had returned to Arendelle at last.
A few months later…
Back in Brussels after his royal adventure in Arendelle, Tintin was finally able to write an article detailing his complete experience in the kingdom. He even decided to let his good friend Captain Haddock read the article while he was visiting Marlinspike Hall.
"All right then, let's see that article of yours, laddie!" Haddock told Tintin while Snowy was nestled by the fireplace. "Here you are," Tintin told Haddock, handing him the notebook. "I hope it's good."
"During the summer," Haddock began to read, "I, Tintin, the world-famous reporter, got the opportunity to visit the beautiful kingdom of Arendelle. I heard that the kingdom was completely hidden by its gates for years, but I never knew why. That was when I met Her Majesty, Queen Elsa of Arendelle. She was a beautiful figure, if you ask me." Haddock continued reading.
"I also got to meet Queen Elsa's younger sister, Princess Anna, who was quite a rambunctious yet sweet lady. Soon, I discovered that Elsa possessed the ability to create ice, even in the middle of summer. And it kind of grew out of control, as she had accidentally set off an eternal winter. So, me and Anna, with the help of Kristoff and his reindeer Sven, all went off on a perilous journey to find Elsa. And along the way, we met Olaf, a talking snowman whom Elsa had created." Tintin almost laughed when he heard Haddock mention Olaf's name.
"When we tried to convince Elsa to come back to her kingdom," Haddock read, "I was accidentally given a blast of ice to the heart. I felt weak, but I learned that an act of true love could fix it. Prince Hans of the Southern Isles, whom I met at the coronation ball, offered to take me to Elsa, but he refused. Turns out that the real danger was that Arendelle fell victim to a heist set up by Hans to take over the kingdom. I also nearly froze to death, but it was all worth it by receiving Elsa's act of true love. Ever since then, I've developed a romantic connection with the queen of Arendelle. –Tintin."
"Unbelievable," Haddock said after reading the article. "Tintin, you never told me you fell in love with a queen!" "Yea, Elsa was kind of a true beauty when you see it," Tintin said, rubbing his neck. "I can't believe you even kissed her on the lips! That's a big step for you!" Haddock exclaimed. "I know, it's great, right?" Tintin asked.
Haddock took one more look at Tintin, who was staring out at the window. "And do you think that lovely lassie Elsa still remembers you?" Haddock asked. "I hope so," Tintin said.
Back in Arendelle, Elsa and Anna smiled as two male servants were busy hanging up a recently painted portrait of Tintin in Elsa's room. "Right here, Your Majesty?" one of the servants asked, placing the portrait at the wall facing Elsa's bed. "It's perfect," Elsa said. "He was a great man, wasn't he?" Anna asked. "Yes," Elsa said, touching the fame of the portrait and smiling. "I'll never forget you…Tintin."
The End!
