"No no no.. What do you think, you're doing?!" The local wood trader yelled rather annoyed to another man, who was trying to stable the woods on top of each other.

"You have to do it like this, or the wood will fall apart!" forcing the lumber out of the poor man's hand.

"Well, how should I know, it had to be placed down in THAT order?!" Replied the other one to the wood-trader, which he shouldn't have done, because the wood trader was terrible at controlling his anger, and now he had a chance to let out his frustrations on the man in front of him.
And soon after, an argument between these two gentlemen broke out in the middle of the city and if it hadn't been for Hans, they both would have ended with a blood nose and even some broken bones, if unlucky, over something as simple as wood placing.

The frosty and icy cold weather Elsa created, has taken a bad turn on pretty much everyone in the city and castle, and it was hard enough for Hans and Anna to keep people from either getting into a fight or in an argument.
The only thing people could do was standing at small fireplaces, which were placed around the city, for people to warm themselves, when heading from place to place. Even the strong men, working with ice, cutting it and transporting it, had very little luck with even breaking the ice of, as if the water was frozen from top to bottom.

Since the runaway of Elsa, the new queen of Arendelle,
everything has been closed off by the owners, so there was not many shops left open for business, but people tried to get through the daily life and trying to ignore the harsh winter that weaken their bones and body.
As Anna was walking down the corridor looking outside thinking of her sister, she overheard some talking from a room, not far from where she was walking, and the curiosity part of her got the better of her and as quite as she could be, sneaking along the corridor till she got to the door, standing ajar.
The closer Anna got to the opening, the clearer the voices got till she got to the opening, just to the side, so no one would notice her.

"We have to do something!" The Duke said while walking from side to side while waving his hands up in the air, all frustrated that he couldn't get home, or do anything to make the 'curse', that their queen had casted over the whole place, to disappear.

"What do you want us to do?!" Another slightly taller in height but also in the sides asked out of pure annoyance.

Anna remembered the gentleman, he was one of the lords, also arrived by ship, and was from the neighbouring country, which sold wine and other delicate goods, which showed on his abdomen.

"Well, I could gather a party of my most trusted men and try to get to the closest city nearby?" The tallest of them all suggested and was one of the ship captains. He was the tallest and had a big alloy orange moustache, bigger than the Duke's white moustache.
He had a monocle and with one hand in his cerulean coloured vest pocket and the other on his back.

"Hah, you? The only thing you are able to do is standing on a boat, ordering people around! You wouldn't even be able to get out of the forest, not while this blasted winter is going on" The Duke stopped for a min to laugh at what he saw as a stupid suggestion and got back to his wandering from side to side

"I beg your pardon?" He asked offended to the short duke, walking side to side, cursing to himself.

"I was handpicked by the king himself, for leading his fleet into battle; I could without a doubt survive that forest with no trouble! But I doubt that someone from a puny place like Weasel Town would even know how to survive any other place than his own bed" The Captain in a offended tone, but still had his gentleman voice in the reply back at the Duke, which stopped in a moment notice when the captain had said the word he hated the most: Weasel Town.

"It's Weaselton!" He almost roared back the captain like a little child, while the captain stood tall and wouldn't back down to such a little man.

"Enough of you two" a voice said, from a couch, which got both of men to stop arguing and looked at the last of the four gentlemen.

Anna couldn't at first see who it was, because of the others standing in her view, but when he spoke and got up, she could without a doubt see it was Hans, with the crimson red hair and slender body. She almost revealed her position at the door from a sigh as she laid her eyes on him, but quickly snapped out of it, but showed in her eyes, that she had a big crush on him and his handsomeness.

He would find a way to stop this weather and get her sister back again, of that she was sure.

"Gentlemen, it doesn't help to offend each other, we have to find a way to end this 'misunderstanding' and get our queen to remove the 'curse' from this country," he said with a worried look in his eyes.

But before they got to go on with their debate, a sudden scream came from the door and they all looked at the voice and saw the young princess and sister to Elsa. The reason she had yelled out like that was because something had started to crawl up at her foot, so she got a jump scare when she saw it was a spider.

"Oh… Hello, don't mind me I'm just passing through!" She greeted them with her usually energetic smile and waving while standing on one foot, holding the other one in her hands like she was shaking it to get the spider off.

"Oh my god, are you alright Anna?" Hans quickly asked while already standing by her side and hold both his hands on her cheeks and looking direct in her eyes, like he was searching for any injuries

"I'm alright Hans, it was just a spider" Anna explained with a little flashy red colour on her cheeks.
She didn't like to make him worry too much about her.
But she couldn't help but feel a kind of warmth being close to him, which made her bite her under lip a little while looking at him.

"Ah, thank god, that's good" he added while keeping the eye contact with Anna, almost as hypnotized by the beauty of her.

"Arhm, Princess Anna, Hans?" the Duke started in a cough manner, trying to get Hans' attention, which he got after a few seconds of tries.

"Maybe our Princess could go and talk with our newly crowned queen?" He suggested suddenly looking all calm, not like his usual self.

"Absolutely not! That is out of the question" Hans cried out, putting his hand on her shoulder, standing tall and firm, ready for defending her for outcome suggestions.

But to everyone's surprise, even the duke.
Anna agreed to be the one to go and told them that it was her sister, so she was in a way responsible for getting her sister back.
Hans could not believe what he heard and turned around to stand face to face with her again, telling her that he is concerned for her life and it would be too dangerous.
He didn't like it at all, but she calmed him down and said she would get her good friend to show her the way, one that knew the ways around the forest.

"No way, I am not gonna go out there, with this winter around!"

"Please Kristoff!" Anna begged with both her hands gathered like she was begging to god.

"No, I'm not gonna do it damn it!" He said again, folded his arms and turned to the side looking away in annoyance of the little princess, trying to get him out there.

Then Anna pulled off a dirty trick, that Kristoff would hate but still be interested in

"You will get carrots for it… a lot of carrots" she suddenly said, with a big smile.

"How many?" He asked turning his head a little towards her.

"Whole three big sachets, full of carrots," she said, still giving him a big innocent smile.

"Myeea.. I'll don't quite know.. that is a lot of carrots" He added while scratching his neck.

"Arh.. Please don't give me that look.. I hate when you do that!" he said holding with one hand over his eyes, like it was something horrible to look at.

"N-no!..!"

"Anna, stop it! Hahaha"

"I mean it!.. Mjarh.. ALRIGHT..!" He said, finally surrendered to the big puppy eyes and poking to his side.

"Yes!" Anna jumped happy in the air

Anna and Kristoff had been friends ever since they were children, and pretty much became best friends, since after her sister Elsa looked herself in her own room.
She always knew he would help her in needs, he was just playing hard to get, and she knew he was very tickling and the carrots always helped pressuring him into doing things, cause both Kristoff and Sven, his reindeer companion and sled puller, love carrots.
While Kristoff was on with the packing the sled with gear, food and many other things, Anna was standing together with Hans, feeling his hand on her cheek. She placed her own hand on his and gave him a little smile, slowly getting red cheeks, more than usually, which Hans notice and gave her a big warm smile right after he gave her a little kiss on her forehead and whispered in her ear.

"Promise me you'll get back, my prin.." but was cut off by Kristoff already seated on the leather seat calling out for her to come.

Anna finally got on the sled beside Kristoff, but notice him giving her a smirk of a smile, with a raised eyebrow, looking at her.

"What?" She asked him with a weird look.

"So.. how was the kiss?" He asked, already knew she would get her flashy red colour on her cheeks if he mentioned Hans.

"Oh, shut up and go," she said and gave him a push while smiling.

And does Kristoff set off with Anna at his side into the forest, going for the ice queen, far out in the distance, while Anna looked back at the city, the castle.. and Hans, as everything started to be smaller and fade out as they got deeper into the forest, till they were completely gone from the sight.
