I do not own 'Frozen' or anything related.
Commentator: Welcome back my non-fairy tale and snow queen wannabe friends to the final 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 three envelopes)
Commentator: Right then! Our first review is from Erinmilne:
Wait - one more chapter? This is ending?! NOOO! There has to be a sequel or something. This is too good to just let go! Seriously, good job.
Well actually, Anonymius has thought of a few sequel stories to this. Actually he's already started writing parts of a sequel. Whether if he will finish it or when is another matter.
Professor: Our second review is from Randomness Girl:
Aww... That was such a sweet chapter!
Professor: Yes I suppose that there were a few moments that qualify for sweetness.
Sammy: And our third and final review is from, hey, it's from Elsa and Olaf!
Professor: It's probably just a guest reviewer whose adopted that name.
Sammy: This is what they have to say:
Thank you for this chapter. Anna's fate please?
Sammy: Well...Since it's Elsa and Olaf asking, I guess we can tell you that -
Commentator: (Squashes Sammy with a mallet) Well if that's everything, here's the final chapter!
Sammy: (Weakly) I...I was gonna say
During their race, Gerda saw the Robber Queen.
"Hello!" She waved to her.
The queen turned around. Startled, she fell over into some nearby mud.
Later they saw the other bandits.
"Hello!" She waved to them, harbouring no ill suited feelings anymore.
"Hello!" One of the bandits actually waved back.
"What are you doing?" Another said to him. The first bandit shrugged.
"Seemed like the right thing to do."
They then passed the Oakens' cottage.
"YOOHOO, OAKEN FAMILY!" She called to them, waving.
"YOOHOO, GERDA!" They all called back, waving. They sped passed them.
"I see you found your brother, dear!" Mrs Oaken called, waving her handkerchief.
"YEAH!" Gerda called back, "WE'VE MADE UP NOW, SO EVERYTHING'S ALRIGHT!"
"I'M SO GLAD, DEAR! BOOHOOHOOHOO!"
She suddenly burst into tears when they were gone.
"Don't cry, Mrs!" Mr Oaken tried to assure her.
"But it's so beautiful, BOOHOOHOOHOO!"
"BOOHOOHOOHOO!" The family all joined in, wiping their faces with their own handkerchiefs.
As they continued to ride, Gerda saw that Elsa suddenly had a sombre look. They saw what she was looking at.
"Arendelle."
"Yes," Elsa replied, "I can't believe the state it's in. I never thought I'd ever see it again."
"Do you think you'll go back there?" Kai asked.
"Maybe. One day."
On and on they continued to ride, what should have taken days felt more like hours, even with the pit stops they took now and again so that Bae could catch his breath. Eventually they reached the borders of the village.
"That cherry tree's the finishing line!" Kai declared.
"Okay!" Elsa agreed.
They both made it at the same time.
"Well then. I think that's a tie," Elsa declared.
Letting the horses go, she sent them back to the Northern Mountain.
"You weren't going to destroy them?" Olaf asked, taken aback.
"What?" Elsa looked at him, "No, of course I wasn't!"
"Oh, it's that just before...You know-"
"Oh! Oh, that's right. I guess I have much to atone for."
As they walked to the village, Olaf looked around.
"Wow. So this is Summer."
"Actually, I think it's Spring," Kai corrected him.
"Spring? GASP! I love it just as much!"
They saw the village.
"It feels so long since I've seen it," Gerda said, "I can't believe it's only been four days!"
"Really? It feels like I haven't seen it in four years," Kai told her.
Gerda looked at her brother.
"Oh, right. I guess for you, in a way, it has."
Smiling, Elsa followed after the children, but then her smile vanished as she stopped. A nearby pond was freezing over. A hand grabbed hers.
"Remember," Kai told her, "Love."
A hand grabbed her other.
"Not fear," Gerda told her.
The frost melted. And so, they led Elsa into the village. TIt looked deserted.
"I wonder where everyone is," Gerda thought aloud.
"It is early morning," Kai answered, "No one's probably up yet. Just as well. It's best we explain all this to our family before anyone else."
They came to their house.
"You should wait here," He told Elsa, "We'll explain everything to our family."
"Olaf, you're best staying out of sight for now," Gerda told him.
"Righteo!" Olaf saluted before getting distracted by a bee as Gerda and Kai walked in.
Gerda and Kai's parents were sitting down, staring at each other. Their father held out his hand, and their mother clutched it. It was all they could do on some days. They tried to keep busy. They rarely spoke. After all they had lost both of their children. They could still hear them, playing in the house, calling for them.
"Mom! Dad!"
It took them a moment to realise that the call they were hearing wasn't in their heads, but in the actual house. They turned around, and saw their children running towards them. They couldn't believe their eyes.
"Kai? Gerda?"
It wasn't possible.
"Mom! Dad!"
"KAI! GERDA!"
The family embraced each other, tears watering the children.
"I thought - I thought we'd never see you again!" Their mother stammered.
"Mom!"
Kai withdrew from Gerda and his dad so that he could solely wrap his arms around his mother's waist.
"I'm sorry I kept dodging your kisses! You can kiss me as many times as you like! And I love you!"
His mother was startled, having never known Kai to be so willing to accept affection, especially since for the past four years he had shaken off any attempts given to him.
"Dad!"
Kai now withdrew from his mother to hug his father, slapping him behind the back.
"I'm sorry I called you a smelly, dirt-covered peasant! You're the best dad in the world, and your job is important to everyone. From now on I'll help you with the farm! And I love you!"
Kai's father looked down at him, puzzled. Both parents looked at each other, their expression mirrored in the other. What had happened to their son, to not only make him no longer as cold as he was but more open than he had ever been?
"What's going on here?"
Their grandmother had walked into the room, holding a urn. Kai looked at her.
"Grandmama! Oh Grandmama!"
He ran to her, hugging the startled woman around the waist.
"Grandmama, I'm sorry I called you an old hag! I'm sorry I called you an old bat! A senile hag! And all those other names I gave you! And I'm sorry I destroyed your rose box! You're one of the kindest, sweetest people I know! And I love you!"
Staring down at her grandson, Kai's Grandmother started laughing.
"Oh ho ho ho ho ho!" She chortled, "What's with this sudden display of emotion? Not very manly, is it?"
Kai looked up at her.
"There's plenty of time to be a man!" Was Kai's reply, "I just need you to know, you know, how I feel, when I still have the chance."
Kai's Grandmother stared at him.
"My dear. You've changed. You're back to what you were before. Oh Gerda, you did it! You saved your brother!"
"I couldn't have done it without you!" Gerda smiled.
"Come here," Her grandmother beckoned.
Gerda did so, standing next to her brother.
"My dears. My dear children. You're no longer the same children as you were. You both have grown up."
"Well, not too much I think," Their dad said.
"Enough of this!" Said their mother, "Gerda, where have you been? Kai, we thought you had drowned and - is that a reindeer?"
She noticed Bae, who had started munching on the flowers at the window sill.
"Shoo!" Their dad said to the reindeer, trying to get rid of him, "Shoo you silly beast!"
"Oh Grandmama, Mama, Papa, we had such the most amazing adventures!" Gerda was telling them, as she and Kai ran around their parents, "There were bandits, and a robber maiden-"
"And a snow queen, and a talking snowman-" Kai was also telling them.
"- and a ruined city, and a warm family-"
"- and snow food, and winter games-"
"- and snow bees, and trolls-"
"- and a magic mirror, and more talking snowmen-"
"- and an ice dragon, and an ice palace, and an Ice King, and Ice Warriors-"
"Kai, Gerda, what are you talking about?" Their mother demanded to know, not understanding any of it.
"And we brought home someone," Kai finished, "She's the most amazing woman in the world!"
"Really?"
Their father raised his eyebrows.
"Well where is she?"
Gerda turned to the door.
"You can come in now!"
Their grandmother gasped, dropping her urn on the floor, where it shattered into pieces. Elsa had walked into the house, not scared, but a little wary, noticing Gerda and Kai's parents stare at her as if she was some sort of exotic bird they had never seen before. Gerda started to explain who she was.
"Grandmama, Mama, Papa, this is -"
"Elsa?"
Everyone looked at the grandmother. She was staring at Elsa as if she was a ghost. Slowly, she walked towards her, her hands trembling.
"Is - is it really you?"
"Mother, what is it?" Her daughter asked.
Standing in front of the confused queen, Gerda and Kai's grandmother grabbed her hands.
"Oh."
Tears started to run down her face.
"Oh look at you. You haven't aged a day! You're just the same as I remember you!"
She caressed Elsa's face.
"I'm sorry -"
Elsa pushed her hand away.
"Do I know you?"
The old woman grabbed her hands.
"You don't recognise me?" She asked tearfully, "Have I changed that much to you?"
Elsa was still uncertain. Did she know this old woman? Staring into her eyes, she gasped. How could she mistake those eyes, eyes that she had known for years, eyes that were in the past full of joy, then later anger, and then sadness?
"Anna?"
The old woman nodded.
"A-Anna?"
She couldn't believe it, but there was no mistaking it. She was looking at her sister! Both women let out sounds that were mixtures of crying and laughing.
"I thought I'd never see you again!" The two elderly sisters cried as they embraced each other, somewhat spinning on the floor.
The family looked at them in confusion.
"Wait a minute! Grandmama? You're Princess Anna?"
Anna turned to look at her granddaughter.
"Oh, I don't know about princess! I sort of gave up the title after coming here! Besides I don't think a princess marrying an ice man would have been approved."
"I can't believe you're here!" Elsa cried, "Oh Anna, you need to know -"
"I know."
"No Anna, you don't -"
"Elsa, I know. I know everything."
"You - you do?"
"Yes. I do. And I'm so sorry, for driving you away, for making you release the Winter."
"No Anna, it was my fault. If only I hadn't been so harsh on you about marrying that prince -"
"No, you were right to warn me about Hans. Turns out he was really a piece of garbage."
"Well -" Elsa smiled, "Your grandson there gave him a good beating."
"What? Hans? I - I don't understand."
"Don't worry. I'll explain everything."
Horrifying realisation came to Kai.
"Wait. My first crush, was my great aunt? Oh, suddenly I don't feel very well."
Gerda burst into laughter. Even their parents, who had no idea what was happening, joined in. Elsa and Anna too started laughing.
Olaf giggled as he smelled the flowers. He came across a woman looking out of the window.
"Hi," He greeted.
The family heard someone scream. They came out. Olaf was yelling as he was being chased by a mob of villagers wielding pitchforks.
"Demon snowman!" Aland the leader was shouting, "Don't let it get away!"
Olaf hid behind Elsa. The charging the crowd gasped as they stopped.
"Theheheehehe Snow Queen!" Aland stammered, "She's here! She's come to freeze us all! Everyone, stop her!"
"Wait," One of the mob started to point out, "I thought you said the Snow Queen was just a fairy tale-"
"Forget what I said! Listen to what I am saying now! Stop her before she brings winter on all of us!"
At once, the mob charged at Elsa.
"Wait!"
Gerda and Kai stood in front of her. The mob stopped.
"No one take another step!" Kai told them.
"And who are you, stranger?" Aland asked.
"Stranger? You don't recognise the kid who once smashed your window?"
The chief elder looked confused.
"Wait a minute! That's Kai!" Another in the mob pointed out to the elder.
"Kai? Wait, Christian and Iduna's Kai? The one who drowned in the river last winter? But you're meant to be dead!" He told the boy.
"Who ever said I drowned?" He asked them.
The crowd looked unsure.
"So it's true then? The Snow Queen did kidnap you?" Thomas asked.
"Well, yeah, but-"
"GET HER!"
"PUNISH HER FROM TAKING ONE OF OUR OWN!"
The mob resumed their advance and cries.
"STOP!" Kai shouted.
The mob stopped again.
"Yes, the Snow Queen did kidnap me, but it's thanks to her that I'm back to normal, the way I was four years ago. But she's changed! She's not the same person she was. Why do you think the north is no longer frozen?"
The villagers looked at each other as they muttered.
"So we're all supposed to forgive and forget, after what she did?" One of the older residents asked.
"No," Anna told them, "Not forget, but understand. It was never Elsa's intention to freeze Arendelle. It was my fault."
"Anna, please -" Elsa tried to stop her.
"No," Anna raised her hands to her sister, "No it was my fault. If I hadn't pushed you, then the winter would never had happened. I was wallowing so much in my own pain that I was blind to what my sister was going through all those years. So if you want to punish someone, then punish me!"
She stepped in front of her sister.
"But be warned," Gerda told them, "That if you go after our grandmother or Queen Elsa, then you'll have to come through us!"
"Yeah!" Kai backed up.
Elsa was startled to see that their parents too had joined them, along with Olaf and even Bae.
"Why?" Aland asked, "Why would you protect this woman? What exactly is she to you?"
Gerda already had her answer prepared.
"We're her family."
"That's right!" Olaf added.
Elsa was stunned. That's right. This was her family. After being alone for so long, she had finally been reunited with her sister. And not just her, but she also had a niece, and a nephew-in-law, and a great niece and nephew, the two most wonderful children she had ever met. Plus there was Olaf as well.
"And the only reason it ever happened," Kai was telling them, "was because Elsa tried to hide her powers, because she was so afraid over how people would react, that once found out, she was terrified. Did she have a reason to be afraid?"
The crowd gave each other guilty.
"So, you're not evil any longer, right?" One of the girls asked.
"Elie, she was never evil to begin with!" Gerda told her, "Not really! She was just scared!"
A little girl walked up to her, almost stopped by her parents. She walked up to Elsa.
"Are you really the Snow Queen?"
"Well, yes, that's what people called me."
"Prove it!"
Sure enough, Elsa made snow appear in her hand. Everyone stared with fascination. Then she sent up upwards, causing it to snow. Everyone looked at it with wonder on their face. Wonder, not fear. Only Aland was terrified, cowering a way from the snow as if one flake would mean instant death. Everyone started clapping.
"ENOUGH!"
Everyone turned to the chief elder.
"Your ice sorcery is not welcomed in this village, Queen Elsa," He told her, "And we want you gone!"
Everyone looked at him. He was clearly the only person who felt that way.
"Oh well!" Said Kai, "You can't please everyone!"
Everyone was gathered around the lake.
"Is everyone ready?" Elsa asked.
Everyone replied 'yes' with enthusiasm. Touching the surface with her foot, Elsa made the lake freeze over. Soon, everyone was skating.
"You too, Anna!" Elsa told her younger sister, giving her some ice skates.
"Oh no, Elsa, I'm afraid my joints will only play up -"
"Oh come on!"
Elsa dragged her sister onto the lake, and pretty soon, she was skating. Only Aland refused to join in the fun.
"Oh come on you old goat!"
Anna pulled the protesting elder by the hand onto the lake. Gerda and Kai held hands as they spun around the lake, Olaf slid on his rear. Even Bae was skating, spinning around on his feet. Everyone was enjoying themselves.
And so, they all lived happily ever after were the last words of the book, which when closed had the title:
THE TALE OF THE SNOW QUEEN UPDATED
Or
THE THAWING OF A FROZEN HEART
Let it go! Let it go!
Can't hold me back anymore!
Let it go! Let it go!
Turn away and slam the door!
The snow glowed white on the mountain last night
Not a human to be seen
A kingdom of cold and darkness
Which I headed as its queen
The wind was howling like the roaring storm inside
I couldn't keep them out
Heaven knows I tried.
Don't let them in, don't let them see
Be the Snow Queen you always need to be
Conceal, don't feel,
Don't let them know,
But now I know
Let it go! Let it go!
Can't hold it back anymore!
Let it go! Let it go!
Turn away and slam the door!
And here I stand
And here I stay
Let it go! Let it go!
The warmth didn't prove so bad anyway
For decades I had stood there
Like a statue I did stay
Until a pair of siblings
Melted the ice away
Thanks to their great affection
I can feel again
I've learnt that to find happiness
You have to embrace the pain
Let it go! Let it go!
Won't hold them back anymore!
Let it go! Let it go!
Go and open wide the door!
Surrounded now by my family
Let it go! Let it go!
It wasn't that hard really!
Standing unfrozen
In the life I've chosen.
Finally free
The past is all behind me
My new life begins
Let it in, let it in,
Won't hold them back anymore
Let it in! Let it in!
No longer keep shut the door!
And here I stand
And here I'll stay
Let it in, let it in!
The warmth didn't prove so bad anyway!
Na na, na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na
Let them in! Let them in!
AOOOOOOOOO!
Let them in.
An ice hammer was hit on an ice stand.
"All rise," Said Marshmallow, leading the proceedings. The snowmen all rose, with snow bees hovering above and the dragon at the back.
"Now then," He shuffled through the paperwork, "The first matter at hand concerns the building of a new ice ring for the newly instated annual bandy tournament. All in favour?"
Everyone raised their hands.
"All opposed?"
No one raised their hands.
"Alright, then! Now then, second matter, it has been brought up that considering the snow bees vastly outnumber the snowmen, the result is that all future propositions would remain in favour of the snow bees compared to other groups, so it has been proposed that something must be done in order to make sure that not only will all major decisions be made by a majority, but also satisfies both the majority of snow bees and snowmen as well."
A roar came from the back.
"And dragons too. So I propose -"
Far below, at the bottom of a chasm, the pieces of the dark mirror lay scattered. Hans was looking through them.
"Hello!" He was calling, "Hello? Anyone there? Anyone interested in having some dark wish fulfilled? I can grant it to you! Hello?"
A mouse suddenly appeared.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
The mouse grabbed the piece of mirror that contained his mouth.
"Hey, come back here with my mouth!"
The mouse ran off. Hans sighed as he rolled his eyes.
"This is going to be a long eternity."
The mouse squeaked as if in agreement.
Commentator: See, Disney? THAT is how you adapt the tale of the Snow Queen as well as including the themes of love and thawing a frozen heart! Was that so hard?
Professor: I admit, Sir, that whereas this fanfiction has proven popular, I do not think it would have been possible to make without the original 'Frozen' existing. Besides, I think overall most people would prefer the actual film anyway.
Sammy: LET IT GO! LET IT GO!
(The Commentator and Professor stare at the slug hopping on the spot)
Sammy: TURN AWAY AND SLAM THE DOOR!
(The Commentator slams the door in his face, causing him to yelp.)
Professor: SIR!
Commentator: What? He said slam the door!
