I do not own 'Frozen' or anything related.
Commentator: Welcome back my non-fairy tale and snow queen wannabe friends to the latest instalment of 'Frozen: What Could Have Happened'! Before we begin let's take a look at some of the reviews you've sent us. PROFESSOR! OPEN THE SHOOT!
(The Professor does so, and out pops four envelopes)
Commentator: Right then! Our first review is from a guest:
My name is Matt I want to thank you for a riveting story I was intrigued from page one I sincerely wish to wread more of your stories
Why thank you, Matt! There are two more chapters to go, but if you are interested in anymore of Anonymius' stories please check them out on his page! Also he's hoping to write more stories as well!
Professor: Our second review is from ErinMilne:
Na na na hey ah na, ha hee ah-ha na-a, na he-ya he-ya-na na noo-a, ha na hey oo noo ah na... Now guess which tune is stuck in my head? This was a really sweet chapter. I especially liked your use of the love-will-thaw motif. And Olaf and Elsa - my gosh.
Commentator: Ah yes that harkens back to the original fairy tale where Gerda thaws Kai with tears of love. It's actually possibly the only moment when crying actually brings the person back to life that actually makes sense in a way, as opposed in certain other things when that happens!
Sammy: Our third review is from Esa Lovers Fans:
Thank you for this chapter! Please tell me Elsa's still alive
Commentator: What? Yes, she's alive. It was only her clothes that were melting before. So with only one more review to go, let's see who it goes to. PROFESSOR! PULL THE LEVER!
(The Professor does so, and the slot like machine rolled)
Professor: Our fourth review goes to Scorpius.
(A giant scorpion scuttles down the wall, terrifying Sammy and causing him to hide under the couch again. The giant scorpion opens the envelope)
Scorpius: And our fourth and final review comes from Randomness Girl:
Omg Big Spring Blowout why am I laughing so hard?!
Commentator: Poor Oakens. They're likely going to be consumed by consumerism! And with about four hundred words to go, that's ample enough time to finish my story! Now then, Sam, I seem to recall you protesting at Gerda and Kai getting married in my nineties take?
Sammy: (Head pokes out from under the couch) Yes, Boss, they're like brother and sister!
Commentator: Sam, that's only in 'Frozen: What Could Have Happened'. Plus a couple of other adaptations. In the original and most adaptations they're friends.
So yeah, they get married, they sing a reprise of their earlier song, they kiss, everyone is happy, THE END!
Oh no! I forgot something!
Professor: You did? What?
Commentator: A very crucial character and element found in virtually all Renaissance Disney films!
Professor: And what was that?
Commentator: The comic relief sidekick!
Professor: What?
Commentator: I mean I know I already had that with Olaf, but the main character needs a comic relief sidekick, you know, the character or duo that tend to be smaller than our main hero whose main job is to make people laugh! Let's see, I guess that only leaves the Robber Maiden, so maybe I can make her into a clumsy GASP oh no! I can't make a female character look incompetent! Especially if that female character is a warrior! So I guess I'll make her male.
Professor: What?
Commentator: So yeah, I'll replace the Robber Maiden with a greedy but incompetent robber with a good heart that shines in the end! Plus I can give him a song as well, which should mean I've met the quota for all Disney songs! (Checks a list) (Let's see, opening, protagonist, comic relief, villain, romantic) Yep, that's it! Which is pretty impressive even for a Renaissance Disney film!
Professor: So, you took a rather original character, and made it just like something that had been done repeatedly?
Commentator: Prof, this is a nineties styled film. Originality was something the Disney films were somewhat lacking between themselves!
Professor: I mean, couldn't you just make the reindeer the comic relief sidekick?
Commentator: GASP! No, Bae's the steed! (Images of Philippe, Pegasus, Achilles and Mulan's horse Khan fly by) The steed can't -
Clock: TING!
Commentator: (Shocks the Clock) IT IS RUDE TO INTERRUPT SOMEONE WHEN THEY'RE TALKING!
(The Clock falls over)
Clock: STILL...GLAD TO BE BACK IN A JOB...
Professor: I believe the Clock was just letting you know when we reached the time limit again.
Commentator: I'm starting to regret getting that clock back as well. Oh well, here's the next chapter!
"The winter," Hanna was crying, this time not trying to hide it. "It's lifted! That's what this must mean, right?"
The bandits stared in wonder at the now thawed land. This must mean that more people will come to live here, which means there will be more people to rob. They all grinned.
The Robber Queen got up. She couldn't believe how nothing was frozen anymore. Which means that people will likely return here. To Arendelle. She grinned. Running back home, she thought of how she would no longer just be a bandit.
"The Queen of Arendelle!" She cackled, "That's what they'll call me!"
"I don't believe it," The older merchant said, staring around at the land, "The winter's gone."
"Yeah," Responded the younger merchant, "By the way I quit."
"You what?"
"I quit. I'm done with merchandising."
"This isn't about because I was willing to let you die for our goods, is it?"
"Yes. Yes it is. I think I'll go into something less perilous."
"Well then what the heck are you going to do with your life?"
"Well the way I see it, there's plenty of free land here. Maybe I'll settle down here and set up my own place. Grow my own food, that sort of thing."
And he left them, going down his own path. What he just said maid the older merchant realise something.
"Think of all the people who will be living here! Think of all the goods needed to be exchanged!"
Everyone turned to look at Elsa, her hand raised. Her old dress was gone, revealing one that was green except for the top and sleeves which were black.
"Oh well."
Everyone turned to Olaf, who was started to fall apart.
"At least I've seen Elsa finally happy."
It wasn't just him. The snowmen and the snow bees all started to fall apart.
"Oh no!" Elsa yelled, "Olaf!"
She flapped her hands.
"Hang on everyone!"
Her dress started to sparkle again, as ice spread from her all around. The energy passed through Olaf, whose body parts spinned as he came back together. When it passed through the snowmen, they were fully healed. They no longer looked threatening, their spikes gone, their eyes like actual eyes. They looked like giant marshmallow men. When it passed the bees, they became bigger, their eyes like people's, their stings no longer visible. Everyone looked amazed at the new ice palace that was being built, smaller but more clear and beautiful, it also no longer had the same series of walls around it. The energy spread beyond the mountain.
"You know," Said Hanna, looking at the snowmen, "I think I preferred how they looked before."
Everyone now looked at Elsa, who wore a new ice dress, a dark blue one with a white cloak. Grand Pabbie walked up to her.
"Do you understand now, Elsa?" He asked. She nodded.
"Yes, I do. Love. Love thaws. That is the key to controlling my power."
"You probably could have told her that in the beginning," Hanna told him, "If you had done that we probably could have avoided all this mess!"
"No, I needed to learn myself. Telling me would have done nothing, no more than telling me not to be afraid. Still, if only I had known sooner. So many years wasted! If only I had learned to..."
"It's not too late."
Elsa turn to look at Gerda.
"What?"
"You want to walk among people again, right? Come to our village. There's all kind of people you can meet there!"
Elsa was stunned at this girl's forgiveness, only moments after blaming her for her brother's death.
"You want me to come, after everything I've done?"
"Well, if you hadn't kidnapped my brother, we probably wouldn't have got that shard out, and he would have been stuck with it, so thank you, for helping me save my brother."
Elsa now turned to the other sibling.
"Kai, do you really want me to come home with you?"
"Of course!"
Kai's forgiveness was even more shocking for Elsa.
"Kai, I was willing to cut into your heart to get what I wanted!"
"Well I did say that you could gladly have my heart, didn't I?"
"How can you forgive me?"
"Because that's what you do to people you love. You forgive them."
Elsa smiled.
"You do know that I'm older than you, right? Alot older. I may look like a young woman, but I'm old enough to be your grandmother."
"I know, but I don't care."
It took Elsa a moment to come to a decision.
"Alright, I'll come with you, but under one condition."
She looked at both siblings.
"Cherish each other. Don't make the same mistake I made."
"But your highness," Marshmallow came forward, "What about us? What will we do without you?"
Elsa took his hands.
"Marshmallow. You don't need me. You never needed me."
"But - who will rule us?"
"Why not rule yourselves?"
"Rule ourselves?"
He looked over at the other snowmen and bees.
"Can we do that?"
"Well why not? Give it a try," Elsa told them.
Looking at the each other, they turned back to Elsa and smiled.
"Alright," Marshmallow agreed, "Why not?"
Gerda noticed Hanna, who was still gripping her broken sword. Soon everyone turned to look at her as well.
"Do you still want to kill the Snow Queen?" Gerda asked.
Hanna looked around.
"Funny thing is though, I can no longer see the Snow Queen. It's as if she melted away. Besides, maybe if it wasn't for people like me who gave you a reason to be afraid, then maybe you wouldn't have felt the need to conceal yourself and flee, and there wouldn't have even been a winter. But still, it doesn't change the fact that my parents are dead."
"Dead? What are you talking about?"
"What do you mean what I'm talking about? You killed them! You froze them!"
Elsa nodded.
"Yes. I froze them. But I didn't kill them."
"-WHAT?"
The ice that had encased the group had finished melting. Everyone looked up.
"What happened?" One of them asked, "Where are we?"
"I don't know," Answered another, "The last thing I remember was getting frozen by the Snow Queen."
"Agna!"
Hanna's father hugged her.
"I thought - I thought I had lost you forever."
Hanna's mother hugged him back. Then a terrifying thought came to her.
"Oh no! Hanna! Where is Hanna?"
"I don't know. But we'll find her," Hanna's father assured her.
"Encased?"
Hanna still couldn't believe what Elsa was telling her.
"What do you mean encased? I thought you had turned them into ice like what had happened to Kai there?"
"No. Fortunately I didn't strike any hearts. But I didn't turn them into ice, so as long as their bodies remained intact, they should be fine."
"No."
Hanna shook her head, crying.
"No, I don't believe you. You're lying!"
"Why?" Gerda asked, "Why is it so hard to believe?"
"Because - because it's too good to be true! I mean in the Frozen North -"
"Well it's a good thing the north isn't frozen any longer, now isn't it?" Gerda pointed out.
That was true, Hanna thought. The cold, harsh world that she lived in was gone. How was she supposed to live in this new world? How was she meant to adapt? Had the time come to no longer act so cold and hard, to finally believe in things like hope?
"Do you really mean it?" Hanna asked Elsa, "They're alive? My parents and family are alive?"
Elsa nodded.
Everyone turned to the sound of roaring. The dragon had returned, crawling up the mountain. Hanna aimed her weapon at it.
"Gerda, Kai, Olaf! Get behind me!" She ordered.
The dragon passed them and stared at Elsa. It started to lick her. That's when Gerda noticed. It's eyes were no longer the glowing blue things they used to be, but had pupils. All the spikes were gone, the claws had shortened, the teeth flattened. It was sticking out its tongue and panting like a dog, before rolling on its back. Olaf giggled as he tickled its tummy.
"It's like a giant puppy!"
Gerda suddenly had an idea.
"You know, it's probably a long way down, so we'd probably travel must faster if we..."
"Oh no."
Hanna realised what she was referring to.
"Oh no. No, I am not flying down on that thing's back! I've done alot of crazy things hanging out with you, things I never thought myself possible of doing, but I draw the line against riding a dragon! No, no, noeeiy no no. No! NO!"
Hanna screamed as the dragon flew through the air, with Gerda, Kai, Elsa, Olaf and Bae hanging on as well.
"Bye bye! Bye bye!"
The snowmen and trolls waved goodbye as they flew away. The bees and the pigeons (Who had been healed of their injuries along with Bae) flew with them to say their goodbyes as well.
"Bye, guys!" Hanna said to the pigeons as the flock flew ahead, "Thanks for coming to our rescue again! Hope to see you again soon!"
Feisty kissed Kai on the cheek before flying away with her sisters.
"Wonder what that was for?" Kai asked himself as he rubbed his cheek. Gerda giggled.
"I think you might have an admirer, Kai!" She told him.
They eventually came near the bottom of the mountain.
"Look," Said Hanna, pointing at all the greenery, "I don't believe it. It's gone. It's really gone."
"Hey, what's that?" Gerda asked.
They could see people emerging from a cave, the same cave that Hanna had taken Gerda to see before. She looked at her friend, who couldn't stop staring.
"Hanna?"
"They're back."
She laughed.
"They really are alive! STOP HERE!"
They flew down and landed on some nearby ground. Hanna got off.
"Well, I guess this is where we part."
Gerda felt stunned.
"Yeah, I guess it is."
Why did she feel so shocked? Probably because she had become so used to Hanna and Bae's company on this great, big adventure, and didn't even consider what would happen once they parted ways. Bae also got off. She looked at him. Without warning, she started to cry. Bae too looked upset as the two embraced.
"I'll miss you, Bae! I'll miss you too!"
"Why did her voice change like that?" Olaf asked Kai through a whisper from the edge of his mouth. Kai shook his head.
"Don't ask."
Hanna turned around to look at her reindeer.
"Hey Bae. Maybe you should stick around with Gerda and Kai for a while, just to make sure they're safe."
Gerda at once stopped crying.
"What? Hanna, are you sure?"
"Yeah! Don't worry about me!"
She beat her chest.
"Woman of ice, remember? Besides I don't know how I'm going to explain to my parents about having a reindeer. Of course I will have to come back for him once I'm able to explain."
Gerda suddenly smiled, understanding that this wasn't goodbye forever.
"Olaf," Hanna turned to him, "You're not so bad, for a snowman."
"Thanks!" Olaf smiled, "You're not so bad, for a human either!"
Hanna now stood in front of Elsa.
"Well. I never thought I'd depart on amiable terms with the Snow Queen. If I told my past self she'd think I'd finally lost it."
Elsa took her hands.
"I hope to see you again soon, Hanna. We are family, after all."
Hanna took her hands away.
"As I told that girl before, family is based on the bonds you have, not who you happened to share blood with."
Elsa's smile started to falter.
"But maybe we can form a bond. I don't know. After all, Winter has ended! I guess anything is possible now!"
Elsa's smile returned.
"Hey kid!"
"Yeah?" Kai and Gerda both responded.
"Sorry, I meant bigger kid. You are lucky to have a sister like that. Not many people would venture out into the frozen wilderness at the age of eleven for the sake of someone who acted like a jerk towards them for years."
Kai smiled at her nervously. Gerda hugged her. Giving in, Hanna hugged her back.
"Thank you."
"For what?" Gerda asked.
"For ending the winter of course! I am so glad that I went back to save you!"
Finally she embraced her oldest friend.
"See you soon, Bud."
Hanna walked away. She turned back to the group.
"Hey kid!"
"Yeah?" Both Gerda and Kai responded.
"Sorry, I meant littler kid this time! Look after your brother!"
Spinning an ice pick tied to a rope in her hand, Hanna hurled it away and jumped off as it made contact, swinging away.
"DON'T WORRY!" Gerda called after her, "I WILL!"
"I don't believe it," One of the group said as they observed their new surroundings, "The winter has finally lifted."
"What do you think happened?" Another one asked, "Has the Snow Queen died? Has someone finally slain her?"
Hanna landed in front of the group, who instantly drew their weapons.
"Who are you?" One of them demanded to know.
"Hey whoa, it's okay," Hanna tried to assure them, raising her hands, "You've been asleep for quite some time now."
"Some time? For how long?"
"A long time."
She stared at them. She still couldn't believe it, that they were all here, that her family, including all of her aunts and uncles, were alive, unchanged for the past twenty years. Perhaps she could ease them into the fact that they've been frozen for twenty years gradually.
"And we should believe you why?" An elderly man that Hanna knew as Uncle Juuna asked.
It actually hurt that the people she cared about and mourned all this time didn't recognise her, that they only saw her as a threat.
"Look, I know what it's like. In the Frozen North, in order to survive, you have to be cautious. You have to be on the offensive. But the thing is, the north's no longer frozen anymore, and like me, you'll have to change your point of view."
A man roughly her age came to the front of the group.
"You seem like a reasonable woman."
Hanna stared at him, stared at her Papa. She still couldn't believe it was actually him, but there was no doubt it was him, the way he gave that carefree smile.
"Alright, I'll trust you."
"Johann, I wouldn't recommend-"
He raised his hand at the old man.
"This woman's right. Winter has ended. It's time that we thaw the winter within ourselves as well."
"Please! Can you help us?"
It was now Hanna's mother who walked forwards, taking Hanna's hands.
"We need to find our child!"
There she was too. Her mother, just as beautiful as she remembered too. It hurt that neither recognised her, but perhaps that was for the best, for now. She smiled.
"Come with me," She told them, placing her hands on their shoulders, "I'll help you find your daughter."
The remaining group reached the bottom of the mountain.
"Well, I guess this is goodbye," Olaf said sombrely.
"Goodbye? Olaf, what are you talking about?" Elsa asked him.
"Well, it's like you said, I can't go with you. A snowman can't live in the warmth."
"Olaf. Look up."
Olaf felt it snowing. He looked up, to see a cloud snowing had appeared above him.
"GASP! My own personal slurry! How long will it last?"
"Indefinitely."
"Oh thank you thank you thank you thank you!"
He hugged Elsa. They all waved goodbye to the dragon as it flew away.
"Well," Elsa now turned to Gerda and Kai, "It's going to be a while until I get you home. So how about a race?"
"A race?" Gerda asked.
"Sure!" Elsa replied.
She made a sled appear, with horses attached.
"Come on, Olaf, you're on my team!"
Olaf got on the sled, while Gerda and Kai got on top of Bae.
"Come on Bae!" Gerda patted him on the side, "Let's show them what we can do! Yeah, we're gonna win!"
"Um, is it too late to change teams?" Kai asked. Gerda gave him a deadly look.
"Just kidding!" Kai told her, "Seriously, Olaf!" He whispered to the snowman, "Please switch with me! I don't know how long I can withstand her reindeer voice!"
"HIYA!"
But it was too late to change, as Elsa whipped the reins and they were off. At first, Elsa and Olaf had a clear lead, before the snow queen looked around and shot ice at Bae's hooves, making them like ice. This made Bae start to catch up.
"Hey, we don't need any favours!" Kai called to Elsa.
"Oh trust me, you won't be able to catch up without them!" Elsa called back.
"Wanna bet?" Kai called.
"Oh, I already know!" Elsa laughed. She sent another shot of ice at the children, making a couple of seats and seat belts appear to strap them in.
"With the speed we'll be going, you'll need to be strapped in!"
"Oh yeah?" Kai called back, "Well, I bet this reindeer can beat your horses any day!"
"I'll like to see you try!" Elsa laughed, whipping the reins again, speeding off. Kai watched after her, wondering if this was really the same cold hearted woman he had spent nearly four days with.
"Come on Bae!" Gerda told the reindeer, "Yeah!"
Soon they sped after them.
Just one more chapter to go. Thanks to everyone who has read this far and reviewed.
