It was the middle of the night in Arendelle. The sun had already set and the sky was pitch black. But for now, instead of sleeping, the royal family was up and about because they were going to the Valley of the Living Rock to see the trolls.
Now that Joseff was no longer a newborn, Kristoff and Anna thought now was a very good time to visit the trolls so they could meet Joseff. Elsa decided to accompany them, too, since she had not seen the trolls since she was a child. Right now, Joseff was still very awake, so they decided to leave now before he could fall asleep. Kristoff, Anna, and Joseff were going to ride in the sled with Sven. They insisted Elsa join them, but Elsa though they would already be crowded, so she offered to ride her own horse instead.
It took a while to reach the valley, but luckily, Joseff stayed awake as Anna held him in her arms the whole time. As soon as they reached the territory, Elsa stepped off her horse and tethered him so he wouldn't run away. She walked over to the sled and took Joseff from Anna while Kristoff helped her step out of the sled. Then they removed Sven from his reins.
Before she gave Joseff back to Anna, Elsa brought him around to face Sven. "Hi, Sven," she said to him while she scratched his face. Then she held Joseff out further to look at Sven. "Joseff, remember Sven?"
As she held him out, Joseff reached out to pet Sven's mug. Before he could lick Joseff, Anna quickly said, "Please don't lick him, Sven." Sven was a little disappointed, but then he just gently nuzzled up to Joseff affectionately.
Elsa walked up the couple and was about to hand Joseff to Anna when Kristoff spoke, "I'll take him." He gently took him from Elsa and held him tightly in his arms.
As the family walked towards the rocks that were actually the trolls, Kristoff walked further ahead of them to let them know he was here. "Hey, everyone! We have someone new with us we want you to meet!"
Just as the rocks began to roll towards everyone, Kristoff had Joseff look in front of him so he could see, too. Anna and Elsa moved closer to them as the rocks came closer.
Once the rock that was actually Bulda revealed herself, she immediately cried, "Kristoff's home!" Almost everyone followed suit with "Kristoff's home!", then they did so again when she also exclaimed, "Anna's here, too!"
Before she could do more, Pabbie stepped forward, and Bulda cleared the path for him. Pabbie noticed Elsa, and bowed before her. "Queen Elsa, it is good to see you again." The rest of the trolls heard what Pabbie had said, so they bowed to Elsa as well.
"It is wonderful to see you again, Pabbie," Elsa replied with a smile.
Pabbie looked up at what Kristoff was holding in his arms. Everyone came closer to the ground, and upon getting a better look, Pabbie said, "And is this the new little prince Joseff?"
"Yes, he is, Grand Pabbie," Anna answered. Taking Joseff's hand in her own, she announced, "Everyone, this is mine and Kristoff's son, Prince Joseff."
Immediately after Anna introduced Joseff, Bulda cried, "Kristoff and Anna have a baby!" Then all the other trolls repeated, "A baby!"
Bulda and Cliff excitedly hurried over to meet their grandson. "What a cutie!" Bulda exclaimed. "Just like his daddy!"
"A real chip off the old block!" Cliff stated.
Since he was so little, Joseff didn't quite understand what was going on, and he looked a little scared. Anna noticed and said, "Awww, sweetie, there's no reason to be scared. These trolls are the rest of our family." Gesturing to their closest family members, she said, "This is your Grandma Bulda and Grandpa Cliff, and Grand Pabbie."
"He's a beautiful baby, Anna and Kristoff," Pabbie said truthfully. "You must be very proud of your sister, Elsa."
"I am," Elsa answered, then she reached over to Joseff and took one of his hands in her own.
"You see, Kristoff? We told you Anna was right for you, and now she's given you a beautiful son! You should be proud of yourself."
"I am, Mom," Kristoff replied. "I never thought I could love another human being so much, just like I love Anna." He placed his arm around Anna, and two looked at each other and laughed before they kissed.
"Awww!" all of the trolls exclaimed at once.
Just then, two little trolls named Tove and Alf rushed forward. "Finally! Another human who is just our size!" Tove cried.
"A new playmate!" Alf exclaimed.
"You guys will have to wait until he gets a little bigger to play with him, but it will be nice for him to have playmates," Kristoff said as he tickled Joseff, then gently kissed the top of his head.
Kristoff, Anna, and Elsa spent the next several hours talking and catching up with the trolls. None of them realized how late it had gotten until Elsa noticed that the sun was going to rise soon. They all realized that they had to leave now because the trolls would return to their stone state until the sundown.
By this time, Joseff was fast asleep and both Anna and Elsa were feeling exhausted. Elsa felt too tired to stay awake to ride her horse all the way back to Arendelle, and Anna could barely stay awake herself. Luckily, Kristoff had an idea: the part of the reins he held in his hands were tied to the sled so Sven would still pull it, since Kristoff could hold Joseff since he wanted to let Anna rest. He made the back of the sled comfortable so Elsa could rest there, and since her horse was trained, it would follow the sled back to the castle.
When everyone was all set to back home, they all called out to the trolls, "Goodbye, everyone!"
"Goodbye!" the trolls said back.
"You be sure to come back again, you here?" Bulda demanded.
"And bring Joseff with you, too!" Cliff exclaimed.
"We will," Anna answered. Then she, Elsa, and Kristoff waved to the trolls, who waved back.
At the sled, once everyone was settled in and in their place, Sven began pulling the sled as he ran, while Elsa's horse followed close behind. Before too long, Anna and Elsa were both asleep and stayed asleep the whole ride back to Arendelle.
