Unknown Skies part 19
Elsa and Anna had been in utter shock when Sam had told them that they were mere characters in a "Motion Picture!"
Utter silence filled Quebec Echo's cockpit, until Elsa managed to say,
"You have been keeping this from all of us ever since you arrived! When were you going to mention this?"
"I didn't know when to tell you guys. I would have told all of you sooner. Believe me, I would've." Sam replied in an apologetic tone.
"How do we even know that you aren't holding any more secrets from us?" Elsa asked, in a little too much of an accusing tone, which she instantly regretted.
"You don't" Sam replied, but then he had a thought.
"If it makes you all feel any better. When Kristoff and Sven get back, I'll show you all the film. That way there are no secrets." Sam added as an afterthought.
"It does have some bits that might upset both of you two, especially Elsa" Dan added.
Anna and Elsa looked at each other for a moment before they both nodded and turned back to Sam and Dan.
"Very well. But you must promise us that there will be no more secrets between us" Elsa spoke to Sam in a Queenly tone of voice.
"You have my word as Captain of this aircraft" Sam replied.
Elsa and Anna both seemed to accept Sam's promise and when they were able, the sisters left the aircraft without another word.
"Well, what do we do now Sam?" Dan asked, worried now for his friend.
"We get ready to show Frozen to the actual characters" Sam replied.
Dan then got out of his seat to find a copy of the Frozen DVD whilst Sam just sat there, his mind racing around in circles. He didn't know how Elsa, Anna, Olaf, Kristoff and Sven would react to watching the film which showed the events surrounding the "Great Winter"
In 24 hours, he would soon find out.
24 hours later
Inside Arendelle Castle's main lounge, Sam, Elsa, Anna, Kristoff, Olaf and Sven were all gathered with Sam's laptop placed in front of them. Various snacks were placed around the table and Sven was happily munching away on a large number of carrots.
"Are you sure you guys are ready?" Sam asked nervously, his hand over the play button.
The others were nervous and part of each of them didn't want Sam to play the film Frozen. But everyone knew that they had to watch it to ensure there would be no secrets between them anymore.
Anna, Kristoff and Elsa looked at each other and nodded.
"We're ready" Anna said to Sam in a nervous tone.
"Very well" Sam replied as he pressed the play button.
The Title sequence played through and the intro song with the ice harvesters went along with little reaction. Except for Kristoff gasping in surprise at the appearance of himself and Sven as children.
But when the Young Elsa and Anna appeared on screen, Elsa stiffened and ice began to creep from under her hands where she gripped her seat in a vice like grip. Elsa knew what was going to happen.
"Turn it off!" She said in a low, warning tone.
Sam didn't quite hear Elsa but he guessed that Elsa was terrified of seeing the incident that separated her and Anna play out on screen.
The moment when Elsa accidently struck Anna in the head with her magic drew closer and closer, Anna being completely oblivious although slightly confused as to how her younger self would know of Elsa's magic.
Time seemed to accelerate and just before the fateful moment on screen could happen Elsa shouted at the top of her voice,
"TURN IT OFF!"
Anna, Kristoff, Olaf and Sven all looked at Elsa in confusion, she had never acted like this in her life!
But before Elsa could reach for the pause button, the fateful moment on screen happened. Anna gasped as she saw this and Elsa covered her face with both hands in shame. She couldn't look Anna in the eye right now.
Elsa didn't look up for a good while after that, and when Anna saw the scene where her memories were wiped.
"Is this all true?" Anna asked her sister in confusion.
Elsa could only nod and everyone could hear her voice, muffled by her hiding her face,
"Yes"
"It wasn't your fault. It was mine. If I hadn't been reckless that night, we wouldn't have been separated for 13 years." Anna replied to her sister in a comforting tone.
Elsa looked back up at her sister, on the verge of crying.
"It's ok" Anna said again. The two sisters then embraced, Sam considered embracing his sisters too but decided that it would be best to let the two sort this one out.
The rest of the movie played out, Elsa and Anna not letting each other go, not even once. Sam stayed where he was, not really paying attention to the film whilst Kristoff, Olaf and Sven's eyes were glued to the screen.
As the credits rolled with Demi Lovato's version of Let it Go playing in the back ground, everyone turned to face Sam.
"I'm truly sorry. I didn't mean to….." Sam began before he was cut off by Anna.
"It wasn't your fault Sam."
"You helped bring us closer. There are no more secrets between us." Elsa added.
Sam just smiled at his two sisters. And the three siblings embraced with Kristoff, Olaf and Sven looking on.
A new chapter had been written in the lives of the royal family of Arendelle and a new one was to begin soon, beginning with Quebec Echo's return to flight.
