Guys, I'm so sorry I forgot to post yesterday! I was not feeling good but that's still no excuse! I was on my computer all day. :/

So, I know how everyone just LOVES Let it Go! But please don't skip this chapter! Watch this video before you do. It's the only good genderbend frozen video I've found and I love it (no sarcasm included). watch?v=1xGmx4K81Hc

Does that not give you chills? That's what it does to me, anyway. Ok, anyway, keep that video in mind as you read this chapter.

"Wait, what?" Jack asked, astounded. When he had teased Hiccup about the pretty girl earlier, he had never expected it to go this far.

"Well, not immediately," Hiccup said. "I mean, there's still a lot of planning to do. We don't even know it the wedding will be here or on Berk…"

"Why not here?" Astrid suggested. "Trust me, it's a lot prettier than Berk."

"Absolutely, whatever you want!"

"Wait, stop!" Jack said, holding up a hand. "This has gone too far. Nobody is getting married, and certainly not here!"

"Jack, come on!"

"You just met five minutes ago!" Jack insisted.

"Actually, we met this morning," Hiccup countered.

"Whatever, that's still not enough time."

Jack could feel his powers struggling to get out as his temper rose. He forced himself to remain calm. There was no way Hiccup could marry this girl, but the stupid boy would not listen. If Hiccup only knew…that was it. It was the only way to protect the kingdom and prevent a war with Berk. Anna was right, he would have to tell Hiccup.

"Can I speak to you, please? Alone?"

"There's no need to hide secrets," Hiccup said stubbornly.

You idiot, that's why I'm trying to talk to you! "Fine," Jack said, equally as stubborn. "The final fact is this: I refuse to let you get married. This is unrealistic. You can't marry a girl you just met."

"You can if it's true love," Hiccup said.

Jack understood Hiccup's desperation more than he would admit. Of course this was bound to happen, Jack knew it would. He wanted to reason with Hiccup quietly, just the two of them, but he was too stubborn and too blind to be reasonable. This made Jack angry, and he felt the words slip out before he could stop them.

"What do you know of true love?"

"I know more than you," Hiccup retorted. "You just stayed shut up in your room studying all the time. I knew people, I talked to people, I snuck out of the palace and actually saw the conditions that our people lived in."

"That's enough, Hiccup," Jack said.

He was becoming more agitated by the minutes, and his hands were growing cold, a sure sign that the ice was coming. He turned and tried to leave the ballroom, just for a minute, but Hiccup would not back down.

"You're being so unfair!"

Jack turned to one of the guards. "The party is over, show everyone to their rooms and close the gates."

"What, no! Jack!"

Hiccup reached forward to stop him from leaving. Their hands met and Jack recoiled, but Hiccup had grabbed the glove.

"Give that back," he said as calmly as he could. The panic was starting to build; he needed to get out.

"Please, you can't do this," Hiccup begged. "I can't live like this anymore!"

People were starting to take interest, listening in to the conversation, but Jack didn't care. He hesitated at first, but then decided that maybe it was for the best.

"Then leave," he said coldly, choking back the emotions.

Hiccup looked like he had been stabbed, unable to process what he had just said. Sighing, Jack turned. It was time to go. He made eye contact with Anna from across the room, and she gracefully excused herself from her current conversation. But she could not get there fast enough.

"What did I ever do to you?" Hiccup asked, raising his voice slightly. Now people were really starting to stare.

"Enough, Hiccup," Jack said through gritted teeth. "We'll talk about this later."

"No, I want to know why!" The panic was building faster and faster, and Jack felt his whole body go numb. "Why do you shut everybody out, why do you shut me out? What are you so afraid of?!"

"I said enough!" Jack snapped, turning to face him.

Icicles shot out from his hands, forming a ring of ice shards around him. Alarmed, the guests backed up and screamed for help. Anna sighed disappointedly, Kristoff reached for another drink and looked like he was preparing for battle, and Hiccup was just plain surprised, blinking in shock. There were only a few seconds of silence before people started whispering about the prophecy, before the angry, suspicious, frightened glances started raining in from all directions. In that moment, he knew he could never be king. What had he been thinking? He couldn't do this. With a dreadful finality, Jack turned and made his escape. He raced up to his room and found a riding satchel, stuffing in as many clothes as he could. Then he raced down the spiral staircase and out into the courtyard.

"There he is, the king! Long live the king!"

Jack skidded to a stop, confronted with a cheering throng of people. He had momentarily forgotten about the open gates and the ongoing celebration. Behind him, he could hear angry shouts and stomping footsteps, jarring him back into action. People crowded him, wanting to congratulate him, wanting to say hello to their king. Jack backed up against the fountain, which froze into some twisted, terrifying shape. Everyone in the courtyard stopped cheering and stared.

"There he is, get him!" it was the Duke of Wesselton and his guards, swords drawn.

"Stop, I can explain!" Jack insisted, holding up his hands in surrender.

A bolt of ice shot forth and iced over the steps, causing all of them to slip. Everyone started screaming, and Jack fled. Strangely enough, everyone parted for him, and he managed to get away with no resistance. He could hear Hiccup calling for him, but he ignored it, running until he reached the fjord. He hadn't really thought through this, but there was no turning back now. Gingerly, he stepped on the water, and it solidified beneath him. His pursuers were gaining on him, so there was no time to think. Jack ran across the fjord as fast as he could, trusting that the ice would not break.

Hiccup was dumbfounded. The idea had crossed his mind once or twice that maybe, just maybe Jack had inherited their mother's powers. They had the same looks, after all. But surely, surely Jack would have told them, or used them when it got too hot, or Hiccup would have noticed it. So eventually he had disregarded the theory, never even asking about it.

"Alright, everyone, please remain calm," Anna yelled. "There is another door to the ballroom, and we can get out that way."

Hiccup didn't want to wait. The Duke's men were already helping him over the ice wall, and that certainly was not a good sign. He turned to Astrid, who looked like the breath had been knocked out of her.

"I'll be right back," he said, smiling calmly.

Then he ran for the wall and jumped over the spearpoints of ice. He heard Jack's suit rip, but at this point nobody would care. Scrambling to his feet, he ran after the Duke, worried that he would do something to Jack. People were whispering about the prophecy, and he knew it wouldn't be long before a frightened mob confronted them. He found the Duke lying on a patch of ice on the steps to the courtyard, groaning in pain. Hiccup didn't care, and jumped over his prostrated body. It was relatively easy to guess where Jack had gone; he only had to follow the gap in the crowd and the trail of snow. Up ahead, he could see Jack standing at the edge of the fjord.

"Jack!" he yelled. "Wait!"

But Jack plunged into the water, freezing it with every footstep. Hiccup skidded to a stop, not trusting the ice one bit. The water scared him. It had killed his father and nearly caused his own, and he had never gone swimming again. Slowly, the ice creeped outward, and Hiccup watched as it froze the whole bay. Arendelle was under siege…from it's own king. By this time, Jack had made it across and disappeared into the woods.

"Hiccup!" Astrid called, finally catching up to him. "You can't chase after him, it's too dangerous."

"I know, I know. I just…what on earth am I supposed to do…to this?"

"For one, start with getting warmer clothes," she said, shivering. "Also, I think your aunt wants to talk with you."

"Yeah, I'd like to have a word with her as well." He didn't say a word until he found Anna, who was trying to pacify the Duke of Wesselton. "Did you know?" he demanded.

Anna sighed. "Kristoff will help you with anything you need, your dukeness. Henry, follow me, please."

Biting his tongue, Hiccup followed her to the private library, the only room not crowded with freezing guests. Astrid held his hand and if Anna noticed her, she didn't say anything.

"How long have you known?" Hiccup asked as soon as they were alone.

"Jack was born with his powers, just like Elsa was," Anna said defensively. "But it was his wish to keep it a secret, and so we respected that wish."

"But why? Why did he keep it from me? Did he think that I would be afraid of him? Or that...that I wouldn't love him?l

"Hiccup!" Rapunzel cried, bursting into the room. "Listen to me, he was only trying to protect you!"

"Please, Rapunzel," Anna sighed.

"I don't need protecting! Wait, did you know, too? Was I the only one who didn't know?"

"You were hurt when you were younger," Rapunzel explained. "The three of us were playing as kids, but we got too reckless. You fell and Jack tried to save you, but his magic hit you in the head. I healed you but the trauma caused amnesia. For some reason you didn't remember any magic."

"And Jack said he didn't want anyone to know," Anna scolded.

"Hiccup has a right to know," Rapunzel countered.

"Th-thanks," he stammered. "Any thing else you're hiding that I need to know?"

Anna bit her lip worriedly. "Perhaps you've had enough shocking revelations for the day," she said too cheerfully.

Hiccup sighed. "Fine, I'll come back to that later. Now, what are we going to do about this mess?"

"It's not a mess," Anna said optimistically.

"It's snowing in July, the fjord is frozen solid and we have hundreds of stranded visitors unprepared for winter. What else do we need to make this qualified as a mess?"

"Ok, fine, it's a disaster! But that's not completely Jack's fault, he just can't control it."

"I never said it was. Look, you and Kristoff stay here and help everyone stay warm. We may have to open up the castle as a place to stay. I'll go after Jack."

"I'll go with you," Rapunzel piped up. "If I'm there he might feel safer, since I can heal people."

"I don't know…" Anna began. "Maybe we should give him some space…"

"He's had space for the past ten years," Hiccup snapped. "If we don't do something, then the people will stop talking. We need to act fast."

Anna couldn't think of a better protest, so she nodded reluctantly. "Alright. But please be careful."

Hiccup turned to Astrid, but she spoke first. "I should stay here. Obviously this is a sensitive situation and maybe his majesty just needs to talk to family."

"Are you sure?" Hiccup asked, taking her hands. "I don't want to leave you here on your own."

"I'll look after her," Anna said. "All guests will stay in the palace until the fjord melts."

"Thank you," Astrid said with a smile. "Besides, Hiccup, I'll be able to help more people if I stay."

"Alright, if that's your wish. I'll come back as soon as I'm able."

Jack wasn't entirely sure where he was or what mountain he had just climbed, but he didn't care. He felt awful. In one day he had been crowned king and started reconnecting with his brother, only to terrify his citizens, push away Hiccup again, and run away from home. Did that count as abdicating? He may have been the only person in Arendelle history to be crowned and abdicate within 12 hours, and Jack hated himself for it. He felt so helpless. So he did the only thing he was really good at. He started to sing.

"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 king.

The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside

I couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I've tried.

Don't let them in, don't let them see

Be the good prince you always have to be

Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know

Well, now they know!"

He threw his glove and cape into the wind, letting them sail away on the breeze. For the first time in years, he started playing around with his powers, spraying snow into the air.

"Let it go, let it go

Can't hold it back anymore

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!"

Jack breathed in the crisp air, feeling relieved and free. This is where he would stay and learn to control his powers. Just himself, alone in the mountains.

"It's funny how some distance

Makes everything seem small

And the fears that once controlled me

Can't get to me at all!"

There was a chasm ahead, with a perfect even space that seemed just right to build a home. With a powerful wave of his hands, Jack created a snowy staircase that spanned the gap.

"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!"

Laughing, Jack ran up the stair case, perfecting it with every step into a smooth surface.

"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!"

He could feel the excitement and adrenaline coursing through his veins so fast he actually felt warm. Eagerly, he stamped his foot on the ground, creating a large ornamental snowflake. Pausing in the song, he focused and raised the snowflake up, creating towers and walls of a castle. All he had to do was think, and it appeared. Ice cannons grew from the parapet, ready to defend the castle from invasion, and a frozen fountain stood in the peaceful courtyard.

"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," he took off the crown and stared at it in anger before throwing it away.

I'm never going back,

The past is in the past!"

He tore off the stiff royal suit and slipped into his comfortable blue hoodie, feeling more like himself with every second.

"Let it go, let it go

And I'll rise like the break of dawn

Let it go, let it go

That perfect boy is gone!"

Jack marched out to the balcony, looking out on the never ending mountains.

"Here I stand

In the light of day

Let the storm rage on,

The cold never bothered me anyway!"
