1 YEAR AFTER THE GREAT WINTER

"Elsa!" Anna screamed.

"Wh- Anna? Are you okay?!" Elsa cried as she burst through the room.

Elsa had entered the very room she had hurt Anna twelve years ago. It was much more cheerful and happy ever since Anna had decided to help with decorating the castle. The windows had curtains which parted to let in the sunlight which danced in the room. The walls were repainted and the floors were scrubbed so clean you could see your reflection.

"Elsa!" Anna cried out.

"Anna!" Elsa sighed in relief.

Anna was wrapped in her winter coat smiling happily as ever.

"Elsa!"

"Anna, what is it?"

"Guess what!"

"What happened?"

Anna smiled wider, revealing her teeth. Her hands were balled up into fists and she was jumping up and down.

"Oh, no." Elsa sighed.

"Kristoff saved me. Again! You just have to let us get married now!" Anna squealed.

"Anna, I can't just let you." Elsa sighed once more and started to double back.

"But why?" Anna asked following her sister. "I've known him for a year!" Anna followed Elsa up the stairs. "That's longer than a day!"

"Anna, that's not how marriages work," Elsa responded.

"Do you not like the way he always talks to Sven like a crazy person?" Anna asked as Elsa entered her office. "Because that's how he is! You can't just tell him to stop talking to Sven!"

"That's not it," Elsa said while looking for a piece of paper. "Anna, I have to do something right now, so please-"

"Are you mad that Kristoff misplaced that one contract with the new Duke of that, what's-its-name, Weaseltown?"

Elsa looked up with her mouth agape.

"Don't tell me that he didn't tell you yet," Anna gulped.

"Anna . . ." Elsa asked. "what happened?"

Anna pushed Elsa out the room. "It doesn't really matter right now, I mean, we have to plan the ceremony, the wedding, the after-party, the honeymoon . . ."

"Anna, tell me what he did, now." Elsa spun on her heels to face her sister.

"Elsa, really, I mean . . ." Anna looked at Elsa's face. It was kind and understanding, but it looked like the same face Elsa wore when she stormed away from Hans and Anna at the coronation party. Anna sighed. "Okay, fine. He . . . was letting some air in by opening the window and there was this huge gust of wind and everything started flying-"

"Thank you, it's okay," she interrupted. "I'll talk to him about this afterwards." She turned back to her office.

"But, Elsa," Anna spoke again, "why don't you want us to get married?"

"It's not that I don't want you two to get married, it's just-" Elsa stopped mid-sentence.

"Elsa, are you . . ." Anna asked, "jealous?"

"What? Of course not!" Elsa said, slightly angrily.

"I get it! You don't want me to marry before you do!"

"Don't get carried away, that's not it."

"I know!"

"Oh, dear."

"What about," Anna said with a toothy grin while jumping up and down, "I find you a man that you can marry?"

"Anna."

"And I will find you the best man ever! He'll be amazing and soon you'll marry him, just you wait!"

"Anna," Elsa snapped, "that's not how marriages work."

Anna stepped back in shock. Why was Elsa becoming so snappy?

Elsa realized her mistake and her face softened. "I'm sorry, it's just that I'm still trying to get in the handle of things."

Anna smiled. "It's fine, a lot has happened ever since . . . that." Elsa smiled back. "But I'm still going to find you a guy, okay?"

Elsa shook her head and sighed once more. When would Anna learn?


"Come on!" Jamie yelled. "Is that all you got?"

"No more holding back then!" Jack grinned and disappeared from sight like magic.

Jamie, Caleb, Claude, Monty, Pippa, and Cupcake all gathered in a line with snowballs circling them. They all had snowballs in their hands. The children grinned at each other while preparing for his attack. Pippa looked up to a tree on her left. She saw a vague shadow in the leaves.

"Look! He's over here!"

The children looked to the tree and fired the snowballs. The snowballs flew through the leaves and . . .

"What?" Jamie asked aloud.

"It didn't hit anything . . ." Claude observed.

The children gathered to look up at the tree in confusion. The stood there for a few seconds and tried to find out what the problem was.

Several white balls of snow flew into the air and hit their backs. They turned to see five familiar faces. There was a gigantic man with a red coat wrapped up around him; a fluttering multi-colored fairy; a tiny little man made of golden sand; a big blue and white rabbit with a boomerang in his hand; and a boy with hair white like snow, a face as pale as frost, and eyes as blue as the sky.

"Uh . . ." Monty gulped.

"We can take 'em," Cupcake said, balling some snow.

"Er . . ." Monty scratched the back of his neck.

"Come on!" Claude and Caleb shouted.

"Um . . ." Monty mumbled.

Jamie looked to Pippa. She nodded in response. Jamie returned his gaze to the five guardians.

"You're going down!" he yelled.

The kids balled the snow and quickly threw them at the guardians.

"Monty! Take Tooth!" yelled Jamie. "We can take them down that way!"

"Huh?!" Monty cried.

"We'll take Bunny and Sandman!" said Caleb and Claude.

"Cupcake and I will get North!" yelled Pippa.

"And that just leaves . . ." Jack said.

"You and me." said Jamie.

- - - - - - - - - -

"Ha!" yelled Caleb.

"Drop your weapons!" yelled Claude.

Bunny and Sandman dropped their snowballs and raised their hands in surrender, apparently slightly frightened by the two boys.

"All of them," the two boys said emphatically.

Bunny quickly reached over to his boomerang on his back and dropped it. The boys grinned.

"Um . . ." Monty gulped. "Help!"

- - - - - - - - - -

"Come on, Monty!" Tooth taunted.

Tooth raised a snowball and wound her arm to spare some time. She pitied Monty so she decided to go easy on him. She had spent enough time preparing her snowball and knew he would realize what she was doing soon so she fired the snowball . . . only for it to crash into Cupcake who stood in front of Monty.

"Quick!" Pippa shouted as she fired five snowballs into the air.

The snowballs landed on Tooth and she laughed. The three started firing more and more snowballs.

"Okay! Okay! I give up!" Tooth surrendered. "Where's North?"

The four looked to Tooth's left and saw North facedown on the ground.

- - - - - - - - - -

"Come on, Jamie!" the children cheered.

"You can do it, Jack!" the guardians shouted (except for Sandy who had sand flags waving around in the air).

"Crikey, if you don't win, do you know how bad that'll be to our reputation, mate?!" Bunny screamed.

"Still think you can beat me?" Jack asked, firing a snowball.

"Yeah, I still do!" Jamie answered, dodging it.

"Whoever gets hit first," Jack said, hovering in the air, "loses!"

"Alright, then!" Jamie said happily while throwing a snowball.

Jack dodged it and whipped his staff around. Beneath him on the ground was a mountain of snowballs. Jamie lunged for the balls of snow and grabbed some. Jack had his snowballs in the air, ready to fire. Jack threw one and Jamie dodged it by rolling onto his side. This went on and on until there was no more snowballs for Jamie to throw.

"Alright, then!" Jack said. "Time to make more-"

"Jamie!" called a familiar voice.

"Sophie!" they all cried out.

"Portal?" asked North.

"Not enough time!" Bunny cried. "Quick, everyone!"

Bunny led the rest of the guardians up the tree the children were looking at from earlier.

"Jamie! Time to go home!" Sophie yelled out. "Friends too!"

"Time to go," Jamie bid to the guardians.

The guardians watched as Jamie and his friends left to go home. Jack smiled. The battle was not won just yet.

AN: Kind of a slow start I guess... BUT THIS IS VITAL TO THE STORY.

Kristoff: Can't wait til I show up in the next chapter!

Me: ...
