After the dignitaries left to go home with the remaining five princes, and Adam had been shown to a room, Kristoff and I headed to the stables to talk.
"I know how we switched bodies." I told him.
"That's great! How!?" I told him everything Sven had shown me, then explained how Sven and I should have switched. "How'd you find out?" Kristoff asked when I was through.
"Sven figured it out. He just conveyed the information to me." I sighed. "I'm sorry for what I said last night, by the way. I realize now how I offended you by assuming Sven was a dumb animal. He's not. Again, I'm really sorry for causing the fight."
"I forgive you. I'm sorry about what I said about you being a witch. You're not, I should never have retaliated like I did. I'm sorry for making the fight worse."
"I forgive you." We shook hands. "So we know how the switch happened, but how do we go back?" I asked.
"You can't!" Someone shouted. I whirled around. Hans stood at the door, Sven tied up next to him. The poor reindeer struggled and grunted. "Stop struggling! It's pointless witch!" It didn't take a genius to know he thought Sven and I had switched. Kristoff and I exchanged glances. Hans kept taunting Sven, thinking he was me. "I bet you wish you could speak witch. But your ability to talk is taken away when you switch with an animal. I guess you can't tell your sister you love her for the last time. Can't kill me either, you don't have your powers anymore!" He had his back to us, allowing us to plan.
"Let's mess with his mind. He thinks I can't talk and my powers are gone." I said. Kristoff nodded.
"Talk like I do for Sven, but don't move your lips." He told me. Hans turned back to us.
"Now to get rid of the reindeer."
"Who me?" I said in Sven's voice, but not moving my mouth. It came surprisingly easy. Kristoff moved his mouth like he was talking. Hans's eyes widened.
"Wha... how..."
"Do you have any carrots? If you're gonna kill me, I'd like a last meal." Hans shook his head, dumbfounded. I switched to Kristoff's regular voice. "Sure, I've got a carrot." I pulled one from my pocket. Kristoff took it and bit a piece off. He handed it back and looked at me, expecting me to finish it. I did. It was weird, but at least it was technically my own spit. Hans was grossed out. Then he pulled out his sword and pointed it at my neck.
"Filthy reindeer man. I should get rid of you too."
"Hey! Kristoff is anything but filthy!" I snapped. Oops. Hans rolled his eyes and went to strike.
"Leave my friend alone!" Kristoff shouted. He used my powers to freeze Hans where he stood. I ripped the sword from his frozen grip and set Sven free.
"Thank goodness you're alright." Kristoff said, hugging his reindeer. Then he looked at me. We stared for a moment, then laughed and hugged each other.
"Awww." We broke apart to see Anna standing in the doorway, beaming. "You guys finally made up! I'm so glad." She hugged us both. "Now why is Hans frozen in the middle of the room?"
"Long story." Kristoff and I said in unison.
