"What's the plan?" Elsa asked.

Elsa, Kai, and Olaf were in the middle of the ocean on their little rowboat. They had no supplies with them, so they had to find help, and fast.

"I'm taking us back to Arendelle." Kai answered.

'What?" Elsa asked, hurt.

"You heard me. This is way too dangerous, for all of us." Kai continued.

"We're doing fine so far." Elsa countered.

"We almost died!" Kai countered.

"But-"

"Don't you see, Elsa! This is exactly what they want. They want you to come too them. They'll take you and create another eternal winter!"

"I won't let them! I'll take back my sister, defeat them, then everyone will live happily ever after!"

"Don't be ridiculous Elsa! There are never happy endings. Those only happen in the story books."

Elsa and Kai argued and argued. The more they yelled, the louder they got. They were so loud that people all over the world could hear their bickering. The entire time, Olaf was trying to stop them. He tried to butt in their conversation but they always ignored him. Kai kept rowing towards Arendelle while he argued.

Finally, Elsa stopped talking for once. She put her head in her hands and started crying. Kai felt bad.

"Elsa..." he said.

"Please." she said while sobbing. "Anna is... she's all I have left. She saved my life once. I must return the favor."

Kai stared into her blue eyes. He could feel her pain, just by looking at her.

"Please Kai." Elsa continued. "Anna is my family. I would do anything for family. Wouldn't you?"

Elsa struck a nerve in Kai's heart. She had a point. Kai knew the pain of losing family. It wasn't a feeling he wanted people to experience. Expecially not Elsa.

Kai used the oars to turn the rowboat in another direction.

"What are you doing?" asked Olaf.

"Turning the boat around." Kai answered.

"Where?" Elsa asked.

"Teranhall."

Elsa's tears disappeared. She was overjoyed. Kai was giving her the chance to save her sister. Kai was important to this mission, Elsa knew that for sure.

Elsa leaned and kissed Kai on the cheek. Kai blushed.

"What was that for?" he asked.

Elsa chuckled.

"For giving me a chance." Elsa answered.

Kai was too petrified to row quickly. His pace was slow. Elsa was annoyed. She took the oars from his hands, and started rowing herself. She rowed faster than Kai could ever row.

Kai tried to come up with an excuse for his slacking.

"Uhh... my arms were tired." he said.

"Whatever you say." Elsa smiled.

With that, the 3 rowed into the night.


Later that night, Elsa's arms were tired of rowing, so Kai took them. Olaf was asleep. At least they thought he was asleep. They've never seen a sleeping snowman before. Then again, who has?

"Kai," Elsa asked, "how did you know which direction Arendelle and Teranhall was."

"Well, growing up the way I did, I had a lot of time on my hands. Time that I used to study things, like the star patterns. Both Teranhall and Arendelle have a specific constellation that hovers over them at night. I just looked for the constellation."

"Cool." Elsa said.

Elsa looked at her hands. She spent all of her free time trying to control her powers. All of that free time was wasted. She was sad at the potential she could've had if she'd didn't waste the time on a lost cause.

"Kai." Elsa said.

"Hm?" He answered.

"How did you learn how to control your powers?" she asked.

"Self-discipline and suffering. You?" he answered.

"I learned how to control them when I learned that love was the key." she answered.

"Oh." Kai said. "I guess that works too. When did you learn how to control it?"

"Last year. You?"

"Ever since I could remember. My dad, he..."

Memories of Kai's father pained him. He didn't want to remember, but he did for Elsa's sake.

"My dad helped me. I only had one slip-up. This slip-up..."

Kai didn't want to continue. Dark memories flashed through his mind. The screams of Deren haunted his ears.

"Kai," Elsa said, "what about the slip-up?"

Kai whispered, just loud enough so Elsa could hear. "Let's just say that was the day I gave up most of what I had. I've suffered, Elsa. More than you think."

"I know true suffering, Kai."

"Oh do you!? Do you know how it feels to be banished from your home? The only home you've ever known? NO!"

This was always a very sensitive subject for Kai. He never like talking about it. It made him angry. He wasn't angry at Elsa, he was angry at himself. It was his fault he lost everything.

"I've suffered!" Elsa told him. "As a child, I would look outside my window, seeing children enjoying the sun. Seeing children enjoying the snow. That entire time, I was stuck in my room. My powers kept me from enjoying life. I never belonged."

Kai didn't know the feeling of being isolated. He'd always belonged somewhere. Even the Bandits accepted him. They accepted him in, and this is how he repaid them. He felt bad, but at the same time, he felt good. He felt good that he was standing up against evil. He felt awful since they used to be his family.

"Not only that," Elsa continued, "but my parents died! They died on the The Royal I. They died believing that people would never accept me and-"

"At least they saw you before that!" Kai yelled angrily. "I don't know how my family is doing. I don't know if they're even still alive. But, what I do know, is that I wouldn't be the last thing they'd love that they'd see go. They would've moved on Elsa! Your parents would've been with you 'til the end!"

"Kai..." Elsa said. "One more thing. I've hurt the someone I loved the most. Anna... I almost killed her twice."

That was something Kai could relate to. He'd hurt his best friend. Kai didn't know if Deren was all right after that incident, but he knew that things would never be the same.

"Well, at least you knew she would turn out all right after that." Kai responded.

"I'm not sure about that anymore." Elsa said.

Elsa broke down into tears. The pressure of knowing Anna could be dead was too much for Elsa. She couldn't take it. She let her emotions go.

Kai got closer to Elsa. He put his hand on her back and patted. Elsa latched onto Kai, and started crying on his shoulder. He let her sob until she was done.

"Elsa, look at me." Kai told her.

She did what he asked with pink eyes, and small tears dripping from her eyes. Kai used his thumbs to wipe off the tears.

"Anna would want you to be strong. Do it for her." Kai told her.

"Your right." Elsa said.

Elsa wiped away the remaining tears and gave a straight face.

"Elsa, you completely drenched my shoulder."

She laughed. The sound was music to Kai's ears. It was time to change the subject decided Elsa.

"Kai," she started to ask, "you wouldn't let me... kill Travis. But, you were so eager to let them die when the boat was sinking. Why the change of heart?"

"I-" Kai paused. "I don't know." He whispered. "I don't know." he said louder.

Elsa smiled at him.

"That's all right." She said. "If you ask me, the only one I wished to die was Summers. I can't believe that I-"

"Don't." Kai said. "The past is in the past."

Elsa looked at her feet.

"Thanks." She whispered. "I really need someone to comfort me right now. I'm glad you snuck in on the boat."

"You know Elsa, I make a good therapist." Kai joked.

"Oh I bet." Elsa said sarcastically.

"How much longer?" Elsa asked.

"Um.. I'd estimate about-"

"Guy's look!" Olaf yelled.

They didn't notice him wake up. He really was a ninja. They wondered if he was listening onto their conversation, but frankly, they didn't care.

Olaf pointed his stick arm in a direction in front of them. Kai and Elsa turned their heads to see what he was talking about. In the distance, they saw a huge mountain on an island. The island wasn't tropical. The shores were like Arendelle's; small rocks instead of sand.

"Is that Teranhall?" Elsa asked.

"No." Kai answered. "But, it wouldn't hurt to check it out. Anyone up for a little walk?"

"Yippee!" Olaf said.

The rowboat got closer to the island. Who knew what dangers lay ahead.
