This was suggested by a guest in the comments... back in June. *cringes because I can't keep up with requests* This is an unofficial loose-ended fifth part to 'The Evil 'Love Experts' I wasn't planning to write originally. This shot is based on the traditional storyline of the Snow White and Rose Red fairytale. Also if I said anything about discontinuing this story ignore it I enjoy it way too much!
Summary: After the destruction of the magic scroll, the trolls are still out in pursuit by the Arendellians. Pabbie somehow gets his hands on Kristoff once again and curses him into a bear. The poor man turned bear can only lumber around the castle now, mooing to anyone that will feed him a carrot.
EDIT*
Cast:
Elsa as Snow White
Anna as Rose Red
Kristoff as the bear/prince
Pabbie and trolls as the Troll
(Mother omitted as I didn't find it fitting, Elsa and Anna's parents are dead)
Hans as the Rose's future husband
"All right Sven, last carrot." Kristoff waved a bright orange carrot tantalizingly in front of his reindeer buddy a few inches from the latter's nose. Sven's ruddy face shone hopefully in the torchlight as he shook off the ice on his fur. They were on their way back from a trek in the wintry snow covered woods, Kristoff accidentally leading both of them into a slushy ditch they took hours to recover from in Oaken's sauna. It was sunset by the time Oaken shooed them out saying they had to get home. And now an hour later they were trudging down the mountain only by torchlight.
"Aww, give it to me already." He mocked in Sven's voice.
"Ah ah ah." Kristoff replied in his own voice. "You must call me 'King Kristoff' first."
As he passed by a familiar looking clearing, a nearby bush rustled noisily and Kristoff turned around. What was out in the woods at this hour?
"H-hello?" He called uneasily. He dropped the carrot, which landed on a snow mound noiselessly. Sven whinnied at the loss of his treat, but Kristoff paid no heed.
The bush continued rustling, making Kristoff even more uneasy. Suddenly he heard a loud rumbling noise coming from all directions towards him. Rocks?!
He froze as smooth rocks crowded around his feet.
"Pabbie?" He mumbled.
Sure enough, the old troll rolled forward into the circle of torchlight. He was wearing several necklaces of dangerous looking beads and a spellbook was tucked underneath his stubby arm. Behind him crowded Bulda and a few others.
"What are you doing here?" Kristoff asked incredulously.
"We're here on a simple favor." Bulda spoke. "We want you to come back with us."
"No way!" Kristoff yelled. "Arendelle is my home. Not your sorcery filled mind controlled hell zone!"
"He has been influenced too long!" Pabbie snapped loudly. "Arguing will do nothing!"
"Then why are you here? I demand to know!" Kristoff shouted.
"To take back what was ours, of course." Pabbie replied gleefully at the confused prince consort. He opened his spell book and
began to read in an ancient, crusty voice a curse while the others waved their hands at him.

Immediately, brown fur thicker than Sven's erupted all over his body. He felt himself swell in both height and size until his head cleared the stable roof. His blonde locks melted away, brown fur replacing his once luscious locks with short fur. And his nose! It had grown long and pointy, his eyes small and beady. His hands and feet sprouted claws. He opened his new mouth to speak, but only a roar came out. He was a bear.
Sven reeled back and neighed in terror of his master's horrific transformation. Stumbling back on his hooves, the reindeer galloped off into the woods at top speed.
Thump. Thump. Thump. "Oww!" Anna cried as she thumped on the floor once more.
"Anna, stop cartwheeling and start doing something productive!" Her sister Elsa snapped, shuffling through a mound of paperwork. Late afternoon sunshine streamed through the windows, a cold winter breeze whispering through the library. It was just a few weeks away from Christmas. The sky a cold blue, trees bare of leaves, fjord frozen, ground iced and snowed over.
Anna flopped down on the floor with a sigh. "I wish it was tomorrow already." She said wistfully. "I can't wait to skate again." The sisters had picked up ice skating again, thanks to Kristoff who insisted they go at least once a week. Although Anna found herself rather clumsy and undignified on her skates, she enjoyed watching Elsa, a true talented skater.
"I do too," Elsa replied with a smile. "By the way, I hope Kristoff gets back soon. I heard dinner's going to a real treat tonight." She licked her lips.
"I just hope it's a huge stack of chocolate pancakes covered in melted chocolate," Anna said excitedly. "That would be perfect."
Several hours later...
Dark had befallen the kingdom of Arendelle, stirring even more worry in the hearts of Elsa and Anna. Kristoff had still not returned. A delicious dinner of lutefisk and lefse had been nervously nibbled at and eventually forgotten with each passing minute. A thick blizzard started soon after they had eaten, which worried them even more.
"I'm sure he's safe," Anna relentlessly consoled herself and Elsa, "maybe in a few minutes he'll be back."
"He's probably at Oakens..."
"Maybe he's at the stables..."
Yet hours passed, and finally the sisters dragged themselves to sleep. The next morning, Anna was up by first light searching for him. She was just trudging through the gardens when she heard a soft roar. She stopped and turned around. Near the bare pear blossom trees was a large, furry creature. Anna gasped. A bear? It was pawing at the castle gate. Suddenly, it turned around and spotted Anna. The giant creature lumbered towards her, swaying it's big head. Curiosity overcame fear as the bear approached princess. Anna peered into the bear's face. It had eyes as blue as Kristoff's. She frowned as the bear sat back on it's hind legs and looked at her sorrowfully.
"Hello, I'm Anna." Anna introduced herself. "I'll call you Bear for now."
Bear whinnied and shook it's head.
Anna studied the creature's brown fur.
"Chocolate?"
Bear shook his head again.
Anna stamped her foot, laughing. Bear leaned down and drew something with it's paw.

"K for what?" Anna asked. "I'm assuming you've escaped from the circus. There's no way a wild bear would be so tame. Or smart!" She laughed.
Bear shook its head again and made a chopping motion with it's paws.
"You wanna chop some wood?" Anna asked.
Bear shook its head vigorously. He reached down to draw more letters.
K r i s
"Kris? Is that your name?" Anna giggled. "My boyfriend is named Kris-" she stopped. "By the way, I'm looking for him! Oh jeez!" The princess hurried off. "He's probably at the stables."
Bear rose and tumbled after Anna, mooing and roaring for her to stop, to let her know he was the Kristoff she was looking for.
Next chapter: Thinking he went missing, the royal sisters send out a search party- unknowest their target was just outside their gates clawing to be let in. Meanwhile, Elsa consults an Oracle for answers and finally ends the trolls' torment of hundreds of years.
