It had been three years and was now the day of Anna's coronation.
Ships were being pulled up to the docks and guests pile out.
"Welcome to Arendelle!"
A boy tried to get away as his mother tries to stuff him in his bund ad jacket.
"Why do I have to wear this?"
"Because the Queen has come of age. It's Coronation Day!"
"That's not my fault."
They pass the May Pole being raised and a Sami ice harvester chatting with his reindeer. We recognize them as Kristoff and Sven, all grown up. Sven hops around excitedly like a dog and nuzzles Kristoff's chest.
"What do you want, Sven?" Kristoff said leaning in then spoke for Sven, as if he can.
"Give me a snack." he said for him.
"What's the magic word?"
"Please! Kristoff pulls a carrot out of his shirt pocket and hands it to Sven. Sven tries to bite the whole thing.
"Hey, hey, hey! Share!"
Then Sven took a smaller bite.
Then Kristoff has a bite himself, not seeming to care that it's covered in reindeer slobber.
"I can't believe they're finally opening up the gates!" Lee Persi said.
"And for a whole day! Faster, Persi!" Aggie said.
They passed a tiny but menacing duke, who wears taps on his shoes to "enhance" his presence. Then two guards follow close behind him.
"Ah, Arendelle, our most mysterious trade partner. Open those gates so I may unlock your secrets and exploit your riches. Did I just say that out loud?" the duke said.
We leave him and head down the bridge towards the castle gates, passing an Irishman and a Spanish Dignitary.
"Oh, me sore eyes can't wait to see the Queen and the Princess. I bet they're absolutely lovely." An Irish man said.
"I bet they are beautiful. We move past them, to a particular castle window." a spanish man said.
In the castle eighteen year old Elsa was in her room snoring and drooling. Then there was a knock.
"Princess Elsa...?" Kai said.
She sat up with her hair all over the place. She then coughed, snorted and pulled her hair from her mouth.
"...Huh? Yeah?" she said.
"Sorry to wake you, ma'am but—"
"No, you didn't. I've been up for hours." she said and started falling back asleep while sitting. She snored but then was startling her awake.
"Who is it?"
"It's still me, ma'am. Time to get ready."
"Ready for what?"
"Your sister's coronation, ma'am.
"My sister's cor-neration..."
Then her eye opened enough to catch sight of her coronation dress.
She bolted, wide awake in excitement.
"Coronation Day! Ha ha!"
Then she remembered what it meant would happen today.
Elsa stood in room, wearing her coronation dress. She finishes pinning ribbons in her hair.
Elsa and Olaf were outside the hustle and bustle of preparations.
"THE WINDOW IS OPEN! SO'S THAT DOOR! I DIDN'T KNOW THEY DID THAT ANYMORE." Elsa sang.
"WHO KNEW WE OWNED 8000 SALAD PLATES...?" she said along the floor of the ballroom.
"FOR YEARS I HAVE ROAMED THESE EMPTY HALLS WHY HAVE A BALLROOM WITH NO BALLS?"
"FINALLY, THEY'RE OPENING UP THE GATES!"
"THERE'LL BE REAL, ACTUAL PEOPLE –"
"IT'LL BE TOTALLY STRANGE. BUT WOW AM I SO READY FOR THIS CHANGE!"
Elsa went to a window and jumped out onto a window washer's pulley. She went up to see the ships arriving.
"FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER, THERE'LL BE MUSIC, THERE'LL BE LIGHT."
"FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER, I'LL BE DANCING THROUGH THE NIGHT."
She walked through the garden and followed a family of geese.
"DON'T KNOW IF I'M ELATED OR GASSY, BUT I'M SOMEWHERE IN THAT ZONE 'CAUSE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER,
"I WON'T BE ALONE. I can't wait to meet everyone."
"TONIGHT, IMAGINE ME GOWN AND ALL- FETCHINGLY DRAPED AGAINST THE WALL."
She noticed the bust of a man across the room.
"NOTHING LIKE THE LIFE I'VE LED SO FAR."
She went into the portrait room and interacts with the paintings.
"FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER,
"THERE'LL BE MAGIC, THERE'LL BE FUN. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER,
"I'LL BE NOTICED BY THEM ALL.
"BUT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER, I'VE GOT A CHANCE!"
Anna was watching out the window as the coronation guests arrived.
"DON'T LET THEM IN. DON'T LET THEM SEE. BE THE GOOD GIRL YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO BE." she sang and moved to a painting of her father's coronation.
She took off her gloves and mimicked the painting by holding candlestick and ornament in place of an orb and scepter.
"CONCEAL. DON'T FEEL. PUT ON A SHOW. MAKE ONE WRONG MOVE AND EVERYONE WILL KNOW. BUT IT'S ONLY FOR TODAY. "
The candlestick and ornament started to melt. She gasped, slammed them back down onto the table and tried to reassure herself.
Back with Elsa,
"IT'S ONLY FOR TODAY!" Elsa sang.
"IT'S AGONY TO WAIT." Anna continued.
"IT'S AGONY TO WAIT!" Elsa said and looked at someone.
"TELL THE GUARDS TO OPEN UP THE GATE." Anna sang.
"THE GATE." Elsa said smiling.
When the door opened Elsa moved through the crowd, admiring the people around her.
"FOR THE FIRST TIME IN." Elsa said while she was outside.
"DON'T LET THEM IN." Ana said slowly leaving her room.
"FOREVER." Elsa said.
"DON'T LET THEM SEE." Anna said.
"I'M GETTING WHAT I'M DREAMING." Elsa continued.
"BE THE GOOD GIRL."
"OF YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO BE." Anna continued.
"A CHANCE TO LEAVE MY SISTER'S." Elsa continued.
"CONCEAL." Anna continued.
"WORLD." Elsa continued.
"CONCEAL. DON'T FEEL." Anna continued.
"A CHANCE TO FIND TRUE LOVE." Elsa continued.
"DON'T LET THEM KNOW." Anna continued.
Elsa headed over the bridge and into the village square.
"I KNOW IT ALL ENDS TOMORROW, SO IT HAS TO BE TODAY! `CAUSE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER. . . FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER! NOTHING'S IN MY WAY!" Elsa finished.
Then she slammed right into the breast of a horse.
She fell back and landed in a small wooden boat. It tipped off of the dock. She's heading overboard. But just then, the horse slams his hoof into the boat and steadies it.
"Hey!" she said frustrated.
" I'm so sorry. Are you hurt?" the rider said.
"Hey. I-ya, no. No. I'm okay." she said gentler.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, I just wasn't looking where I was going. But I'm okay."
He hopped down from his horse and stepped into the boat.
"I'm great, actually."
"Oh, thank goodness."
He offered her a hand and their eyes meet and he helped her to her feet.
"Prince Hans of the Southern Isles." he said bowing.
"Princess Anna of Arendelle." she said curtseying.
"Princess...? My Lady." he said and dropped to his knees, head bowed.
The horse bowed too, curling his hoof up and out of the boat and it tips. Hans tumbled on top of Elsa.
"Hi...again." she said.
The horse slammed his foot back into the boat to stabilize it. Anna and Hans tumbled the other way and Elsa landed on top of him.
"Oh boy."
"Ha. This is awkward. Not you're awkward, but just because we're- I'm awkward. You're gorgeous." she said. "Wait, what?"
Hans quickly got to his feet and helped her up again.
"I'd like to formally apologize for hitting the Princess of Arendelle with my horse...and for every moment after." he said.
"No. No-no. It's fine. I'm not that Princess. I mean, if you'd hit my sister Anna, that would be- yeash! `Cuz, you know..." she said patting the horse. "Hello." Then she looked at Hans. "But, lucky you, it's-it's just me."
"Just you?" he said smiling amused.
She smiled back. Then the bells rang and she didn't notice at first.
" ...The bells. The coronation. I-I-I better go. I have to...I better go." she said and hurried off then stopped and turned back then gave Hans a little wave. "Bye!"
As she rushed off again, Hans waved back and his horse waved too, once again taking his hoof out of the boat.
"Oh no."
The boat fell, with him in it. The it landed upside down in the water then rose it up off of him, gasping for air.
A few minutes later Anna stood at the altar waiting for the crown to be put on her head.
Elsa was standing off to one side. She peeked out to the audience and someone waved at her from the pews and she waved back.
Then the crown was placed on Anna's head and the scepter and orb were presented to her on a pillow. She slowly reaches for them, took the orb and scepter, then turned to the people.
"Sehm hon HELL-drr IN-um HELL-gum AYG-num ok krund ee THES-um HELL- gah STAHTH, ehk teh frahm FUR-ear U- thear..." the Bishop began to sing.
"...Queen Anna of Arendelle." he said.
"Queen Anna of Arendelle." everyone said.
After that everyone went to the great hall.
"Queen Anna of Arendelle." Kai said.
Then Anna entered, poised and looking surprisingly content. She stood under a formal awning.
"Princess Elsa of Arendelle!" he continued.
Elsa ran into the room and waved awkwardly and nervously. Kai ushered her over to stand right next to Elsa.
"Here? Are you sure?" she said even more worried.
Then she and Anna snuck awkward peeks at each other.
"...Hi." Anna said.
"Hi me...? Oh. Um. Hi." Elsa said.
"You look beautiful." Anna said.
"Thank you. You look beautifuller. I mean, not fuller. You don't look fuller, but more beautiful." Elsa said.
"Thank you."
Then they looked out at the celebration.
"So, this is what a party looks like?" Anna said.
"It's warmer than I thought." Elsa said causing Anna to worry.
"And what is that amazing smell?"
They both closed their eyes and inhale.
"Chocolate." they said together.
Their eyes popped open and started laughing. Elsa looked back out at the party. Anna looked at Elsa. She wanted to say so much, but couldn't think of where to start. Just as she finds her way, Kai interrupted.
"Your Majesty. The Duke of Weaseltown. DUKE Weselton." Kai said.
"The Duke of Weselton." He looked at Anna. "Your Majesty, as your closest partner in trade, it seems only fitting that I offer you your first dance as queen."
The Duke did a funny flitter of his feet, a hitch-kick, and a deep bow.
One, two, three. Jump. As he holds out his hand, head down, his toupee dips forward.
Anna giggled while Elsa looked at Anna, stifled a giggle herself.
"Thank you...only I don't dance." she said.
"Oh...?" he said.
"But my sister does." she continued.
"What?" she said shocked and still nervous.
"Lucky you..." he said.
"Oh, I don't think—" she started.
The Duke grabbed Elsa's arm and yanks her away before she can protest.
"If you swoon, let me know, I'll catch you."
Elsa looked back at Anna, desperately.
"Sorry." Anna said.
On the dance floor the Duke showboated, but just awful. Elsa tried to make the best of it.
"Like an agile peacock..." he said.
Then he lands on her feet.
"Ow. Ow." she said.
"Speaking of, so great to have the gates open. Why did they shut them in the first place? Do you know the reason? Hmm? he asked getting in her face, suspicious.
"...No." she lied.
"Oh, all right. Hang on. They don't call me the little dipper for nothing." he said.
Then he dipped Elsa back. Anna peeked through the crowd, could barely hold in her laughter. Anna shooted Elsa funny, help-me looks.
"Like a chicken...with the face of a monkey...I fly." the duke continued.
A few minutes later Elsa limped back to Anna.
"Let me know when you're ready for another round, M'Lady." he said.
"Well, he was sprightly." Anna said.
"Especially for a man in heels." Elsa said rubbing he sore feet.
"Are you okay?" Anna said.
"I've never been better. This is so nice." Elsa said.
"I wish it could be like this all the time."
"Me too... But it can't." Anna said.
"Why not? If—" Elsa started.
"It just can't." Anna said waving her hands.
"Excuse me for a minute." Elsa said and left.
Anna watched her go, saddened.
While she moved through the crowd, then bumped by a bowing man causing her to fall. Just before she hits the floor, someone caught her.
He smiled perfectly.
"Glad I caught you." the man she saw earlier said.
He smoothly sets his drink down on a passing tray. He lifts her up and leads her in a romantic dance.
"I'm Hans." he said.
"I'm Elsa." she said.
Elsa and Hans drank and chat.
"I often had the whole parlor to myself to slide... Oops. Sorry." Elsa continued.
She hit him in the face by mistake with her hand. He laughs.
Elsa and Hans stroll out of the castle.
"...Your physique helps I'm sure." Hans said.
Elsa taught Hans how to eat krumkake.
"Yeah, the whole thing! You got it." Elsa said.
They laugh as the krumkake crumbles in his face.
"Okay wait, wait. So you have how many brothers?" she said.
"Twelve older brothers. Three of them pretended I was invisible... literally...for two years." he said.
"That's horrible."
"It's what brothers do."
"And sisters. Anna and I were really close when we were little. But then, one day I just shut her out, and I never knew why." she said.
He took her hand and leaned in close.
"I would never shut you out." he said.
"Okay, can I just say something crazy?" she said.
"I love crazy." he said.
"ALL MY LIFE HAS BEEN A SERIES OF
"DOORS IN MY FACE. AND THEN SUDDENLY I BUMP INTO YOU."
"I was thinking the same thing, because like. . ." Huns started.
"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-" Elsa started.
"BUT WITH YOU, I FOUND MY PLACE." Huns sang.
"I SEE YOUR FACE. BOTH AND IT'S NOTHING LIKE I'VE EVER
KNOWN BEFORE."
Then they jumped to the neighboring balcony and entered a door. They come out on top of one of the castle's towers.
"LOVE IS AN OPEN DOOR! LOVE IS AN OPEN DOOR!" they sang together.
Then they started sliding across an empty hallway in their socks.
"LOVE IS AN OPEN DOOR." they said together.
"WITH YOU!" Elsa said.
"WITH YOU!" he said.
"WITH YOU!" she said.
"WITH YOU!" he said.
"LOVE IS AN OPEN DOOR." they said together.
They hopped up on the castle roof and watch a shooting star.
"I MEAN IT'S CRAZY." he said.
"What?" she said.
"WE FINISH EACH OTHER'S-" he started.
"SANDWICHES!" she sang.
"That's what I was gonna say!" he said.
They slide down the back of the roof out of sight. We next find them strutting on a bridge ledge.
"I'VE NEVER MET SOMEONE-" she started.
"WHO THINKS SO MUCH LIKE ME." they said together.
"Jinx...jinx again." they sang together.
"OUR MENTAL SYNCHRONIZATION CAN HAVE BUT ONE EXPLANATION," they continued together.
"YOU-" Hans started.
"AND I-" she said.
"WERE-" he sang.
"JUST-" she sang.
"BOTH MEANT TO BE." they finished together.
They danced on top of the lighthouse and cast dancing shadows across the sails of ships in the docks.
"BOTH TO THE PAIN OF THE PAST. WE DON'T HAVE TO FEEL IT ANYMORE!"
"LOVE IS AN OPEN-
They played hide and seek amongst the stable doors.
"DOOR! LOVE IS AN OPEN DOOR!
They climb to the waterfall looking out over the kingdom. Elsa raised up her hands to frame the moon. Hans puts his hands on top of hers. Together their hands form a heart.
"LIFE CAN BE SO MUCH MORE- " they continued together.
"WITH YOU!" she sang.
"WITH YOU!" he sang.
"WITH YOU!" she sang.
"WITH YOU!" he continued.
"LOVE IS AN OPEN" she sang.
"DOOR." he sang.
"DOOR." she sang.
"Can I say something crazy...? Will you marry me?" he said.
"Can I just say something even crazier? Yes." she said without even thinking about her powers.
A few minutes later Anna and Hans were back inside and Elsa pushed through the crowd towards Elsa, Hans in tow.
"Oops! Pardon. Sorry. Can we just get around you there? Thank you. Oh, there she is. Anna!" she said.
Anna turned to Elsa who curtseys awkwardly.
"I mean...Queen... Me again. Um. May I present Prince Hans of the Southern Isles.
"Your Majesty." he said.
Anna gave him a polite but reserved curtsey.
"We would like-" Elsa said.
" -your blessing-" Hans said.
"-of-" Elsa said.
"-our marriage! they said together.
"Marriage...?" Anna said confused.
"Yes!" Elsa said.
"I'm sorry, I'm confused." Anna said.
"Well, we haven't worked out all the details ourselves. We'll need a few days to plan the ceremony. Of course we'll have soup, roast, and ice cream and then- Wait. Would we live here?" Elsa said.
"Here?" Anna said shocked.
She was confused because Anna had made them shut the door her whole life and now she wanted someone they didn't know to live with them?
"Absolutely!" he said.
" Elsa -"
"Oh, we can invite all twelve of your brothers to stay with us-" Anna said.
"What? No, no, no, no, no." Elsa said.
"Of course we have the room. I don't know. Some of them must-" Hans said.
"Wait. Slow down. No one's brothers are staying here. No one is getting married." Elsa said.
"Wait, what?" Elsa said.
"May I talk to you, please. Alone." Elsa said.
Elsa saw Hans's worried face and hooked her arms with him.
"No. Whatever you have to say, you- you can say to both of us." she said.
"Fine. You can't marry a man you just met."
"You can if it's true love."
" Elsa, what do you know about true love?" she said.
"More than you." Elsa said.
"You asked for my blessing, but my answer is no. Now, excuse me." Elsa said and started to turn around.
Elsa stood there remembering about what she had done and remembered she had fire powers.
"Your Majesty, if I may ease your—" Hans started.
"No, you may not. And I-I think you should go." Elsa said then walked away.
As she passed the Royal Handler Anna looked at him-
"The party is over. Close the gates." she said.
"What? Anna, no. No, wait!" Elsa said then grabbed Elsa's hand and pulled off her glove.
Anna gasped, spun around and reaches for the glove in panic.
"Give me my glove!" she said.
Elsa held the glove away from her.
"Anna please. Please. I can't live like this anymore. I have Olaf to keep me company but I want our old life back!" Elsa said fighting tears.
"Then leave." Anna said and saw Elsa's hurt face.
It's too much. She can't hold it in.
She turned and rushed away.
"What did I ever do to you?!" Elsa said heartbroken.
The party went silent as everyone watches them confused and wondering who Olaf was.
"Enough, Elsa."
"No. Why? Why do you shut me out?! Why do you shut the world out?! What are you so afraid of?! Like I said I'm doing this for you as the new queen so tell me why!"
"I said, enough!" Anna said causing fire to come out of her gloveless hand.
While fire went out Elsa slammed ice to get it to be gone.
"Sorcery. I knew there was something dubious going on here." the Duke said.
"Anna...?" Elsa said and rushed out of the room.
Anna burst out of the castle door.
"ANNA!" Elsa said and went after her.
"There she is. Your Majesty! Long live the Queen! Queen Anna... Come drink with us." everyone said while Elsa was seen.
Anna ducked through the crowd running.
"Queen Anna." someone said bowing.
"Your Majesty? Are you all right?" a mother said to Anna.
Anna backed away from the baby to be safe. Then she knocked into the fountain, grabs its edge. The mettle water fountain melted at her touch.
Everyone gasped of shock and fear swept over them.
The Duke and tugged come out the door.
"There she is! Stop her!" he said.
"Please, just stay away from me. Stay away!" Anna said.
Magic accidentally shoots from her hand and turns the staircase into acid. The thugs and the Duke fall.
"Monster... Monster!" the duke said.
The crowd panicked only knowing about Elsa's powers. A heat wave begin. Anna fled. Elsa ran out of the palace doors, carrying the glove.
"Anna!"
Hans followed closely behind her.
Anna ran out of the gates and down to the water's edge. Elsa called to her from the gates.
"Anna! Wait, please!"
Anna glanced back at Elsa, but turned away. She tentatively stepped out onto the fjord. It heated up instantly but still broke into a run, as the water heated up over with each step.
"Anna, stop!" Elsa said rushing out onto the fjord acid and fell.
"Anna!"
Hans rushed to Elsa's side. Elsa watched Anna reach the far shore. She didn't look back but just scrambles into the mountains.
"No." Elsa said.
"Look... The fjord." Hans said shocked.
The heat spreaded out until it felt like one hundred degrees.
It started to get hot. Hans and Elsa moved through the panicking crowd.
"Heat? It's...heat...in November." someone said.
"...Are you alright?" Hans said.
"No." Elsa said in shock.
"Did you know?" he asked.
"No. I thought only I had powers."
Nearby, the Duke flutters about in fright.
"The princess has cursed this land! She must be stopped! You have to go after her."
Elsa rushed up to the Duke.
"Wait, no!"
The Duke hides behind his thugs and points out at Elsa.
"You! You have sorcery in you, too? Are you a monster, too?"
"No. No. I'm not a monster but yes I have ice powers which Arendelle people know."
Everyone nodded.
"That's right she is ...in the best way." Huns said.
"...And my sister's not a monster."
"She nearly killed me." Duke said.
"You slipped on melted mettle." Huns said.
"Her melted mettle!"
"It was an accident. She was scared. She didn't mean it. She didn't mean any of this... Tonight was my fault. I pushed her. So I'm the one that needs to go after her."
"Yes. Fine. Do." Duke said.
"What?" Huns said.
"Bring me my horse, please." she said to the Royal Handler.
"Elsa, no. It's too dangerous." Huns said.
"She's not dangerous. I'll bring her back, and I'll make this right."
The Royal Handler brought Elsa her horse and a cloak.
"I need you here to take care of Arendelle." she said.
"...On my honor." he said.
She threw on the cloak and hopped right onto the horse, coronation dress and all.
"I leave Prince Hans in charge!"
"Are you sure you can trust her?" he asked.
"She's my sister; she would never hurt me." then she snapped the reins and rides out.
Hans watches after her. The heat picked up and overtook the view.
