Anna rode her horse through the deep snow in the forest.

"Elsa! Elsa! Elsa, It's me, Anna. Your sister who didn't mean to make you freeze the summer. I'm sorry. It's...it's all my f-f-fault." Anna heard a wolf howling. "Of course, none of it would have happened if she'd just told me her secret." Anna chuckled to herself. "She's a stinker." Suddenly a tree branch snaps startling her horse knocking Anna flying off as she sat up the horse start running away. "Oh, no. No, no, no. Come back. No, no, no, no! Oookay." Anna went to grab a nearby branch to pull herself up but the trees snapped up dumping all its snow on top of Anna.

Later that night as Anna tried to walk in the snow. "Snow, it had to be snow, She couldn't have had tropical magic that covered the fjords in white sand and warm..." She saw smoke the distance. "Fire!" Suddenly she went tumbling down the snowy hill and landed in the lake at the bottom, she stood and tried to walk out of the water. "Cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold."

With her dress frozen she walked to the house up ahead of her, she climbed the step and knocked the snow off the sign above her. "Wandering Oaken's Trading Post." She then noticed a much smaller sign under it. "Ooh! And sauna." Anna entered the building and took a few steps inside when she heard someone calling out.

"Hoo-hoo." Oaken said. She turned to see a man sat behind a counter. "Big summer blow out. Half off swimming suits, clogs, and a sun balm of my own invention, yah?"

"Oh, great. For now, uh...how about boots? Winter boots and dresses?" Anna asked.

Oaken pointed to the area which was empty except for one outfit, a pair of boots, a rope and axe. "That would be in our winter department."

Anna picked up the outfit, boots and took it to the counter. "Oh. Um...I was just wondering, has another young woman, the Queen perhaps, I don't know, passed through here?"

"Only one crazy enough to be out in this storm is you, dear." Oaken said.

Suddenly the front door opens and Kristoff entered completely covered in ice.

"You and this fellow! Hoo-hoo. Big summer blow out." Oaken said.

Kristoff walked to the counter and looked at Anna. "Carrots."

"Huh?" Anna said.

Kristoff leaned closer to her. "Behind you."

"Oh, right. Excuse me." Anna stepped out of his way, Kristoff picked up the carrots and tossed them on the counter.

"Woh, a real howler in July, yes?" Oaken said as Kristoff went and picked up the rope and axe from the sparse winter department. "Where ever could it be coming from?"

"The North Mountain." Kristoff said.

Anna spoke quietly to herself. "North Mountain."

Kristoff placed the axe and rope on the counter next to the carrots.

"That'll be forty." Oaken said.

"Forty? No, ten." Kristoff said.

"Oh dear, that's no good." Oaken referred to the rope and axe. "See this is from our winter stock, where supply and demand have a big problem."

Kristoff looked out the window where his sled was stocked up with blocks of ice. "You wanna talk about a supply and demand problem? I sell ice for a living."

"Ooh, that's a rough business to be in right now. I mean, that is really..." Anna said.

Kristoff gave her a cold look.

"Ahem...that's unfortunate." Anna said.

"Still forty. But I will throw in a visit to Oaken's sauna." Oaken waved. "Hoo-hoo! Hi, family."

Kristoff and Anna turned to see a family waving through the window of the sauna.

"Hoo-hoo!" Family said.

Anna waved back.

"Ten's all I got. Help me out." Kristoff said.

"Okay." Oaken put the carrots forward on the counter. "Ten will get you this and no more."

"Okay, just tell me one thing. What was happening on the North Mountain? Did it seem magical?" Anna said.

Kristoff pulled down the scarf on his face and looked at Anna.

"Yes! Now, back up while I deal with this crook here." Kristoff said.

Suddenly Oaken stood revealing his very tall stature.

"What did you call me?" Oaken said.

Oaken walked outside carrying Kristoff with one arm.

"Okay. Okay, I...' Kristoff hit his head on the sign then Oaken threw him. "Ow! Woh!" Kristoff landed in the snow ahead.

"Bye bye!" Oaken said.

Oaken walked back inside and slammed the door, as he sits up Sven came over to him.

"No, Sven, I didn't get your carrots." Kristoff said. Sven huffed his disappointment. "But I did find us a place to sleep." Kristoff referred to the dilapidated barn behind them. "And it's free."

Back inside the Oaken's Trading Post Anna watched in shock as Oaken got back behind the counter.

"I'm sorry about this violence. I will add a quart of lutefisk, so we'll have good feelings. Just the outfit and boots, yah?" Oaken said.

Anna looked down at Kristoff's supplies on the counter.

"Uh..." Anna looked out the window.

Xxx

Kristoff, now unfrozen, relaxed on a bed of hay, playing her lute and sang with Sven.

"Good night."

The door opened. Anna entered.

"Nice duet." Anna said.

Kristoff sat up with a start…saw who it is.

"Oh, it's just you. What do you want?" Kristoff said.

"I want you to take me up the North Mountain." Anna said.

"I don't take people places." Kristoff said.

He lay back down, closed his eyes.

"Let me rephrase that…" Anna said.

A sack of supplies landed in Kristoff's lap.

"Umph." Kristoff said.

He sat up. Looked in the bag.

"Take me up the North Mountain….Please." Anna said.

He eyed her. He clearly didn't take orders.

"Look, I know how to stop this winter." Anna said.

He considered, lay back down, pulled his hat over his eyes.

"We leave at dawn…. And you forgot the carrots for Sven." Kristoff said.

A bag of carrots hit Kristoff in the face.

"Ugh!" Kristoff said.

"Oops. Sorry. Sorry. I'm sorry. I didn't-" Anna said, catching herself. "We leave now. Right now."

She stepped back outside and waited, anxiously. Annoyed, Kristoff offered Sven a carrot. Sven had a bite. Then Kristoff had a bite, contemplating.

Xxx

Sven raced, top speed, up a narrow cliff, on the sled, which skidded precariously. Kristoff manned the reins. Thor sat beside her.

Kristoff was trying to scare Anna. "Hang on! We like to go fast!"

Anna was fearless. "I like fast!"

Anna leaned back and put his feet up on the dashboard.

"Whoa, whoa! Get your feet down." Kristoff said.

He pushed her feet down.

"This is fresh lacquer. Seriously, were you raised in a barn?" Kristoff said.

Kristoff spit on the dash to clean it. The spit flew back and hit Anna in the face.

"Ew. No, I was raised in a castle." Anna said.

She wiped off her face.

"So tell me, what made the Queen go all ice-crazy?" Kristoff asked.

"…Oh well, it was all my fault. I tried to get her engaged but then she freaked out because we'd only just met him, you know, that day. And she said she wouldn't marry him-" Anna said.

"Wait. You fixed your sister up to someone you just met?" Kristoff said.

"Yeah. Anyway, I got mad and so she got mad and then she tried to walk away, and I grabbed her glove-" Anna said.

"Hang on. You mean to tell me you tried to engage her to someone you just met?!" Kristoff said.

"Yes. Pay attention. But the thing is he wore the gloves all the time, so I just thought, maybe he has a thing about dirt." Anna said.

"Didn't your parents ever warn you about strangers?" Kristoff said.

Anna eyed Kristoff up and down, then slid away from him.

"Yes, they did…. But Hans is not a stranger." Anna said. "Look it doesn't matter; it's true love."

"And how does your sister feel about this "true love?" Kristoff asked.

"She..." Anna sighed. "Are you some sort of love expert?"

"No. But I have friends who are." Kristoff said.

"You have friends who are love experts…. I'm not buying it." Anna said.

Sven suddenly stopped them, ears perked in alarm.

"Stop talking." Kristoff said.

"No, no, no. I'd like to meet these-" Anna said.

Kristoff clamped her hand over Anna's mouth.

"I mean it. SHHH." Kristoff said.

Kristoff stood, looked into the dark woods surrounding them.

Sensing something behind them, she holds up his lantern. Its light reflected off…eyes. Several.

"Let's go, Sven! Let's go!" Kristoff said.

"What are they?" Anna said.

"Wolves." Kristoff said.

Flashes of white darted through the woods. Kristoff hopped into the back of the sled, grabbed a torch. Lit it.

"Wolves. What do we do?" Anna said.

"I've got this. You just…don't fall off and don't get eaten." Kristoff said.

"But I wanna help." Anna said.

"No." Kristoff said.

"Why not?" Anna said.

"Because I don't trust your judgement." Kristoff said.

"Excuse me?!" Anna said.

A wolf jumped at them, but Kristoff kicked it off.

"Who fixes up her sister with a man she just met?" Kristoff said.

Anna grabbed the lute, swung it right at Kristoff's head.

"It's true love!" Anna said.

He screamed, as he…BAM!…swung past Kristoff and knocked a wolf away.

"Whoa." Kristoff said.

Just then Kristoff was yanked off the sled by another wolf.

The torch went flying. Anna caught it, shocked.

"Christopher!" Anna said.

Kristoff grabbed onto a loose rope hanging from the back of the sled and held on for dear life as she was dragged behind.

"It's Kristoff!" Kristoff said.

A wolf jumped on Kristoff's back.

"AH!" Kristoff said.

Anna thought fast, used the torch to light a blanket on fire.

"Duck!" Anna said.

Anna threw the flaming blanket right at her. She ducked. The blanket hit the wolves. They tumbled off Kristoff.

"You almost set me on fire!" Kristoff said.

Anna reached out a hand, pulled Kristoff back onto the sled.

"But I didn't." Anna said.

Sven cried out. There was a massive gorge ahead.

"Jump!"

They all jumped the gorge. Kristoff went flying off behind them, still on the sled. Anna and Sven landed safely on the other side of the gorge. Kristoff's sled lost momentum. It was not going to make it. She leapt off. He flapped his arms, clawed at the air.

She slammed into the snowy edge of the cliff. Hanging by her hands, she looked down to see her sled hit the ground far below and burst into flames.

"…But I just paid it off." Kristoff said in shocked sadness.

Suddenly, she started to slip. She clawed at the loose snow, but it's clearly hopeless. He's going down.

"Uh-oh. No, no, no." Kristoff said.

To make matters worse, an axe came flying right at his face.

"AH! NO, NO, NO!" Kristoff said.

The axe slammed into the snow, inches from her nose.

"Grab on!" Anna said.

Kristoff grabbed on.

"Pull, Sven! Pull!" Anna said.

The axe was tied to a rope, and Sven was pulling the rope.

Anna helped Sven pull Kristoff to safety.

Kristoff rolled onto his back, exhausted. Anna peeked down at the burning sled.

"Whoa…. I'll replace your sled and everything in it." Anna said.

Kristoff groaned.

"And I understand if you don't want to help me anymore." Anna said.

Anna walked off, sadly. Sven came over and hugged Kristoff.

"Of course I don't want to help him anymore. In fact, this whole thing has ruined me for helping anyone ever again." Kristoff said.

"But he'll die on his own." Sven said.

"I can live with that." Kristoff said.

Through their conversation, they watched Anna go the wrong way…turn, go the other wrong way, turn, trip…

"But you won't get your new sled if he's dead." Sven said.

"…You know sometimes I really don't like you." Kristoff said.

Sven hugged Kristoff happily.

"Hold up. We're coming?!" Kristoff said.

"You are?!" Anna said. "I mean, sure. I'll let you tag along."

Kristoff, Sven and Anna walkEd on a narrow rim of a mountain.

As they stepped out of the thick trees, Anna caught sight of something far below.

"Arendelle." Anna said.

"It's completely frozen." Kristoff said.

"…But it'll be fine. Elsa will thaw it." Anna said.

"Will she?" Kristoff said.

"…Yeah. Jack will help. Now come on. This way to the North Mountain?" Anna said.

He pointed straight ahead.

"More like this way." Kristoff said.

He pointed his finger up towards a perilously mighty mountain.

Anna, Kristoff, and Sven walked beneath frozen willows. The hanging branches glistened like Christmas lights. Sven knocked them with her head. They tinkled like chimes.

"I never knew winter could be so beautiful." Anna said.

Suddenly, a voice came in from nowhere.

"YEAH…It really is beautiful, isn't it? But it's so white. You know, how about a little color? Must we bleach the joy out of it all? I'm thinking like maybe some crimson, chartreuse…" Olaf said.

While this is going on, Anna and Kristoff looked around for the source of the rambling. They looked at Sven. Sven looked back at them, her hair tangled in branches, just as baffled as they were.

In the meantime, a nose-less snowman, Olaf, wandered up behind them.

"How `bout yellow-no, not yellow. Yellow and snow? Brrrr…no go." Olaf said.

He stopped between Kristoff and Anna. They looked down at him. How did he get there? He suddenly looked up at Anna.

"Am I right?" Olaf said.

Anna screamed! Reflexes took over and she kicked Olaf's head, sending it flying off his body and into Kristoff's arms.

Olaf spoke cheerily, to Kristoff. "Hi!"

"You're creepy." Kristoff said.

Kristoff tossed the head back to Anna and they commenced a game of hot potato.

"I don't want it!" Anna said.

"Backatchya!" Kristoff said.

"Please don't drop me." Olaf said.

"Don't!" Anna said.

"Come on, it's just a head." Kristoff said.

"No!" Anna said.

Olaf's body ran at Anna, arms waving.

"All right, we got off to a bad start." Olaf said.

"Ew, ew, the body!" Anna said.

Anna slammed Olaf's head back on the body, upside down. Olaf smiled happily, then looked confused.

"Wait, what am I looking at right now? Why are you hanging off the earth like a bat?" Olaf sadi.

Anna was sympathetic. "…Okay. Wait one second."

Anna knelt in front of Olaf and righted his head.

"Oooh! Thank you!" Olaf said.

"You're welcome." Anna said.

"Now I'm perfect." Olaf said.

He looked over Olaf's innocent face, got an idea.

"Well, almost." Anna said.

She dug into Kristoff's satchel, held up a carrot just as Olaf turned toward her. The carrot accidentally slammed all the way through his head.

"Woo! Head rush!" Olaf said.

"Oh! Too hard. I'm sorry! I-I, I was just…. Are you okay?" Anna said.

Olaf saw a tiny piece of carrot sticking out between his eyes. He lit up.

"Are you kidding me? I am wonderful! I've always wanted a nose." Olaf went cross-eyed to look at his tiny nose "So cute. It's like a little baby unicorn."

Anna reached behind Olaf to the bulk of the carrot sticking out the back of his head, and pushed it forward.

"What? Hey! Whoa." Olaf saw how big his nose was. "Oh, I love it even more! Hah….All right, let's start this thing over. Hi everyone. I'm Olaf. And I like warm hugs."

Olaf opened his arms wide to Anna. That triggered a memory. It took her a moment to place it, but then she did.

"Olaf?…That's right, Olaf." Anna said.

"…And you are?" Olaf said.

"Oh, um…I'm Anna." Anna said.

"And who's the tangled guy?" Olaf asked. "And the angry one?"

"In order. Sven and Kristoff." Anna said. "Olaf, did Elsa build you?"

"Yeah. Why?" Olaf said.

Curious, Kristoff took one of Olaf's twig arms off, studied it. It seemed to be moving in sync with his other arm.

"Do you know where she is?" Anna said.

Kristoff studied the arm. "Fascinating…"

"Yeah. Why?" Olaf said.

"Do you think you could show us the way?" Anna said.

"Yeah. Why?" Olaf said.

Kristoff bent the arm. "How does this work?"

Olaf's dismembered arm slapped Kristoff across the face.

"Stop it, Sven. Trying to focus here." Olaf said, then to Anna. "Yeah, why?"

"I'll tell you why. We need Elsa to bring back summer." Kristoff said.

Xxx

"Summer?" Olaf sank into wistfulness. "Oh, I don't know why but I've always loved the idea of summer, and sun, and all things hot."

"Really? I'm guessing you don't have much experience with heat." Kristoff said.

"Nope. But sometimes I like to close my eyes and imagine what it'd be like when summer does come." Olaf said.

In his imagination Olaf walked through a grassy meadow with the sun shining behind him.

"Sunlight, and beaches, and getting a tan..." Olaf said dreamily.

Olaf now lay in the sand on a beach in his dreams.

"Going for a swim..." Olaf continued, still daydreaming.

Olaf floated in the water. All his pieces began to separate.

"Sailing along the ocean." Olaf smiled.

Olaf sailed in a boat.

"Making friends!"

Olaf tumbles on a sandy beach with sand-snowmen

"And having picnics with all of you!"

Sven, Anna, Kristoff and Olaf had a picnic.

"I'm gonna tell him." Kristoff said.

"Don't you dare." Anna said.

Olaf then straightened up and smiled. "So, come on! Elsa and Jack went this way, leaving the ice palace. Let's go bring back summer!"

Olaf grabbed Anna's hand and pulled him along up the mountain.

"I'm coming!" Anna said.

Sven hopped along, happily following them. Kristoff watched all of them like they were nuts.

"Somebody's got to tell him." Kristoff said.

Xxx

Suddenly they heard voices. It was Hans and his soldiers.

"This way. We have to get to the weapon!" Hans called. "The only thing that can trap the Queen and stop this winter."

Anna gasped. She gestured to the others and they followed Hans up the Northern Mountain.
