Chapter 2: For the First Time in Forever…Again

~6 YEARS LATER~
It had been 6 years and not one day in between King Richard's death and now, did Trent knock on Dove's door. She knew he wouldn't anymore after that day. But, she would be able to see him on this very special day. The gates were being opened for the first time in years…for the coronation of a new queen. Dove was now 20 years old, and Trent was 21. He was supposed to be crowned king already, but, he aloud his younger sister to be the new ruler of their kingdom, even though she was only 19 at the moment.
Trent had just woken up and saw in his planner the date and what it said on it: Princess Dove Frost's coronation ball! After reading that, he leaped out of his bed and got ready at the speed of light.
Lydia was outside, working on her ability (I gave it to you in the last chapter by mistake). She was making fireballs and tossing them in the air. Her mother had the fire ability and her father had black ice, the invisible kind of snow. But sadly, Trent didn't get either of them. How Lydia knew this was that she didn't see a flame or black snowflake on the palm of her brother's right hand.
After a while, Trent came outside, grabbed Lydia's arm, making her fireball blow out by the wind, and into the carriage.
(SONG: "For the First Time in Forever" – Frozen)
The carriage ride didn't take long; they made it with time to spare. Actually, they were the first ones there.
Trent looked at Dove's castle, and saw the windows were being opened and so was the door.
TRENT: The window is opened, so is that door/I didn't know they did that anymore/who knew they owned a thousand salad plates…
Trent saw some servants/maids carrying plates to the ball room.
TRENT: …for years I've roamed those empty halls/why have a ballroom with no balls/finally they're opening up the gates/there'll be actual real live people/this is totally strange/wow am I so ready for this change! Cuz for the first time in forever/there'll be music, there'll be light/for the first time in forever/I'll be dancing through the night/don't know if she's the way I remember/but right now I'm in the zone/cuz for the first time in forever/I won't be alone.
"I can't wait to meet everyone!" Lydia said. Then she gasped. "What if I meet, 'the one'?"
LYDIA: Tonight, imagine me gown and all/fetchingly draped against the wall/a picture of sophisticated grace/I suddenly see him standing there/a beautiful stranger tall and fair/I wanna stuff some chocolate in my face/but then we laugh and talk all evening/which is totally bizarre/nothing like the life we've lived so far! For the first time in forever/there'll be magic, there'll be fun/for the first time in forever/I could be noticed by someone/and I know it is totally crazy/to dream I'd find romance/but for the first time in forever/at least I've got a chance.
Dove was up in her room, looking out the window. She had recently gotten a room more suited for her. Her gloves were still on, and she had a ball right by her side. She saw Trent and Lydia right there, by the gate.
DOVE: Don't let them in/don't let them see/be the good girl you always have to be… (Picks up the ball after taking off her gloves) …conceal, don't feel/put on a show… (Ball starts turning to ice) …make one wrong move and everyone will know. (Puts ball back down and puts her gloves back on.) But it's only for today…
LYDIA: it's only for today…
DOVE: it's happening today…
TRENT: it's agony to wait…
DOVE: (Opens doors) tell the guards to open up…the gate!
The gate started to open up, and Lydia along with Trent got out of the carriage.
LYDIA: The gate!
TRENT: (Excited) for the first time in forever…
DOVE: don't let them in/don't let them see…
TRENT: I'm getting what I've been dreaming of…
DOVE: be the good girl you always have to be…
TRENT: a chance to change my lonely world…
DOVE: conceal…
TRENT: a chance to be with Dove…
DOVE: conceal, don't feel/don't let them know!
TRENT: I know it'll end tomorrow/so it has to be today/cuz for the first time in forever/for first time in forever…nothings in my way!

"Do you solemnly swear to rule with grace, love, and to do acts of the purest heart, as long as you are in rein?" The priest said as he held the crown her mother wore when she was queen in his hands. Speaking of which, her mother Elsa Frost and her father Jack were standing on the side lines. Elsa was starting to form tears in her eyes. She was so proud that she had totally forgotten about her daughter's powers.
"I solemnly do" Dove said, bowing as she spoke.
The priest placed the crown on Dove's head and said: "I give you, Dove Marie Frost…Queen of Arendelle!" as Dove took the scepter and the orb from the pillow with her ball room gloves on. But they weren't strong enough to keep the ice inside. She saw that the orb and scepter were turning to ice, so she quickly placed them back on the pillow as everyone was cheering and applauding for her. She could so single out Trent however. And that voice…made her smile.

After the coronation of Queen Dove Frost, the ball started in the ball room. Everyone was dancing while Dove was sitting on the throne, smiling at her mother, dancing by herself.
"I don't think she believes in me anymore, dear." Jack said into Elsa's ear.
"Of course she does! She promised to always believe in you." Elsa said back as Dove walked over to them…or in her case, her mom.
"Mom, you do realize you're dancing with no one, right?" Dove said, shocking her mother.
"Honey, don't you remember? Your father is Jack Frost." Elsa said in return.
"Right…mom, you've lost it." And that was all Dove said before she walked away to find Trent and Lydia.
"You were right, Jack…she doesn't believe anymore. What do we do?"
"I'll think of something." Jack thought for a moment. But got nothing.
Dove was still looking for Trent, and then found him, leaning against a wall in the ballroom. She smiled, walked up to him, and stood there next to him. "Do you wanna build a snowman?" She sang, getting his attention.
Trent looked over and smiled to see Dove standing there next to him.
"Wow, you look so different…" He sang. "…much prettier than before…"
"Thanks." Dove said, smiling.
"But I remember/when I needed you/really needed you/you locked me out…" Trent continued, realizing the reason he stopped knocking on her door.
"Trenton, I had no choice!" Dove said, wishing her mother never changed his memory of her powers..
"Yeah you did…and you blew it with me!"
"Trenton…" Dove looked away as she sighed. She knew he knew about her powers at one point, but now he didn't. He was clueless to why the gates were closed, and why she shut him out.
"Why'd you shut me out, Dove!" Trent yelled, making Dove get angry.
"Because I didn't want to hurt you!" Dove yelled back, flinging her right arm up and then down, making ice hit the floor and rise up, causing it to make pointy killer icicles…towards Trent.
Trent backed away quick enough to not get stabbed and just looked at Dove, shocked. Everyone in the ball had stopped to listen to the argument, and they all were also shocked to see the ice powers of the new queen…yet again. Everyone thought Dove had the same powers as Elsa, but they thought they got a rude awakening when Dove never showed them off. They thought she didn't have them…but they thought wrong.
"Dove…?" Trent said, still in shock.
This made Dove fear the worst and run away, making Elsa let a frozen tear fall to the floor. History repeated itself. She thought to herself.

Dove ran outside, and was surrounded my villagers in the center by the big fountain that Elsa froze when she was Dove's age. Dove backed into it, touching it and making it freeze once more. This scared everyone and made Dove, run for the hills, and run on water…freezing it with every step of her feet.
Lydia followed Trent who ran after her, and stopped him from following her on the ice. The whole ocean froze over and an eternal winter was set in motion yet again.
"Not again!" One of the villagers said.
"It's alright!" Elsa said to the villagers. She didn't tell them what she was about to do, she just tried it. But…it didn't work. She tried again, but it still didn't work. She tried melting the snow herself, considering she had the same powers that her daughter was born with, but it wasn't working. "Why aren't my powers working, Jack!?" She asked her husband, worried and scared.
"Don't worry, Elsa…" Jack said. "I'll go find our daughter. Maybe she'll know how to control her powers finally." He grabbed his staph and was about to leave when he heard a voice behind him.
"I wanna come along with you." Jack turned around and saw Trent standing right there.
"Wait…you can see me?" Jack asked, shocked. Elsa was on the verge of smiling at this moment.
"Yeah, I can." Trent said in return. He then looked at his right hand, palm facing his face and sighed. "Look, Mr. Frost, I know how to stop this winter. My sister doesn't even know about this but…" He showed Dove's parents the black snowflake on his right hand palm. "I was born with it, but Lydia thinks that I wasn't born with an ability like she was." He explained.
"Lydia doesn't even know this?!" Elsa asked, shocked.
"No, she doesn't. She has a flame on her hand." He added.
"I could use help trying to get her to believe in me again." Jack added. So, he agreed to let Trent come along, and Lydia had to follow, of course. Even though she was the queen of her kingdom, she still wanted to help her brother find Dove and to save them from the eternal winter.
Hang in there, Dove…we're coming. Trent thought as he got ready to go with Jack to find Dove.
"Wait…!" Elsa called out, making Trent turn around and listen to Elsa when she got to him. "Trenton, you know our daughter more than we know her." Elsa began, as Trent listened intently. "And, I'm not always going to be around for her." This was when Trent realized that something was wrong with Elsa. "I guess what I'm trying to say is…" Elsa looked up at Trent and grinned by the warm comfort his eyes seem to let out. "Here…" She placed an ice blue envelope in Trent's hand, and said, as a frozen tear fell down her cheek: "Give this to Dove, when you find her."
Trent knew that something was wrong, but he wasn't one to pry information out of anyone. So, all he did was nod his head, put the envelope in his coat pocket, and zip up the pocket, so the letter wouldn't fall out. After that, he turned back around, and got on his horse, with Lydia following suit.
Before Jack could ask if they were ready, Trent was off, and didn't look back. Jack pecked Elsa's lips and flew off after the two siblings at the speed of light.
No turning back now… Trent thought.
Jack had made it up to Trent and Lydia and was flying high in the sky.
Trent looked at the black snowflake on his right hand, and sighed as he placed his right hand back on the reins of the horse. He knew that sometimes, a person with a frozen heart couldn't make stuff beautiful. He had black ice, the invisible kind of ice and snow. His ice could kill someone in a split second. But so could Dove's, even if someone had a frozen heart and a piece of Dove's ice got inside somehow, that someone could die by freezing to death. Still, Trent put on a straight face. He didn't want Lydia to worry about him, and she had worried enough about him.
(SONG: "Frozen Heart"—Frozen)
JACK: Born of cold and winter air and mountain rain combining/this icy force both foul and fair has a frozen heart worth mining/so cut through the heart/cold and clear/strike for love and strike for fear/see the beauty sharp and sheer/split the ice apart/and break the frozen heart.
Lydia looked at Trent with a smile, but frowned the minute she saw the look on her brother's face. "What's wrong, bro.? You seem upset." She asked, catching Trent off guard.
"Huh? Oh, I'm fine. Nothing's wrong." He replied, pretty much lying to his sister. Lydia knew he was lying, but, like Trent, she wasn't one to pry. So, she stayed quiet, but kept the worry.
LYDIA: Beautiful, powerful, dangerous; cold…
TRENT: …ice as a magic, can't be controlled…
JACK: …stronger than one/stronger than ten/stronger than a hundred men.
ALL THREE: Born of cold and winter air and mountain rain combining/this icy force both foul and fair has a frozen heart worth mining/cut through the heart/cold and clear/strike for love and strike for fear/see the beauty sharp and sheer/split the ice apart…
TRENT: …beware the frozen hearts.
(End of song)
Lydia looked at Trent again, this time shocked. She heard him say the plural form of heart. That's when she realized that her own brother had kept something very important from her. And she was going to do whatever it took, to find out what it was.

(SONG: "Let it go"—Idina Menzel – Frozen – movie version)
Out on the mountain with Dove, she was walking through the snow, hair still up like Elsa's hair on her coronation day and still wearing the crown. Dove had taken off her gloves already, and was still walking in the snow.
DOVE: The snow glows white on the mountain tonight/not a footprint, to be seen/a kingdom of isolation/and it looks like, I'm the queen/the wind is howling like the swirling storm inside/couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I tried.
Dove stopped walking and looked back at her kingdom, and sighed.
DOVE: Don't let him in/don't let him see/be the good girl you always have to be/conceal, don't feel/don't let him know…well now he knows! (Starts doing tricks with her ice and snow powers) let it go/let it go/can't hold it back anymore… (Makes a snowman without her hands) …let it go/let it go/turn away and slam the door/I don't care, what they're going to say/let the storm rage on/the cold never bothered me anyway.
Dove unclipped her cape and let it blow away in the breeze as she started walking once more.
DOVE: It's funny how some distance, makes everything seem small/and the fears that once controlled me, can't get to me at all/it's time to see what I can do, to test the limits and break through/no right, no wrong, no rules for me/I'm free! (Starts making her own ice castle, just like her mother) Let it go/let it go/I am one with the wind and sky/let it go/let it go/you'll never see me cry/here I stand/and here I'll stay/let the storm rage on…
Dove continued to make her ice castle with her powers. She was actually having a lot of fun building it. Once she finished it, she walked around the throne room as she sang once more.
DOVE: My power flurries through the air into the ground/my soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around/and one thought crystallizes like an icy blast (Takes off tiara) I'm never going back/the past is in the past! (Throws the tiara to the ground far away from her and takes down her hair, making her hair be completely down with a braid down the side and pushing her bangs up just like her mother) Let it go/let it go/and I'll rise like the break of dawn/let it go/let it go/that perfect girl is gone (Turns her dress into an ice dress, just like her mother, only the dress is a little different: there's a white long-sleeved shirt underneath with a white train in the back) here I stand/in the light of day (Walks out onto her patio) let the storm rage OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON/the cold never bothered me anyway.
Dove walked back inside her castle, flinging her left arm up with the train, making the door close by itself.
This is my new life…this is my new normal. She thought.
