I never thought I would have to say this, but I guess I do. If you don't appreciate the effort Dogs and I put into writing a chapter, then please keep your comments to yourself. Now, this is different from telling us something constructive vs being just plain rude. Telling us that our hard work isn't "creative" is incredibly offensive and rude. We took the timw out of our lives to write a new chapter for this story. If you don't like the new chapter, fine. But don't comment with "it's not creative."
Ex-fucking-cuse you.
We're doing our fucking best here. Just because it does not live up to your standards, does not make it uncreative. It took a LONG ASS FUCKING TIME to write these two play chapters. If you don't like it, fine, but keep it to yourself. We're doing our best.
Sorry for that rant, everyone. But it's been bothering me. On with the story.
As soon as Kiku announced the intermission, Lovino yanked off the high heels and stretched before heading off stage. "Fucking high heels… Fucking dress… Making me look like a fucking GIRL!" He grumbled to himself as he headed to the back stage for his costume change.
"Fratello~! Fratello~!" Feliciano chirped, running towards his twin, smiling brightly. Suddenly, he tripped on the hem of his dress and and fell flat on his face, his wig slipping off as the Italian became tangled. "V-Veh! Veh! Aiutami!"
"NOW do you see why fucking PANTS are better, dumbass?" Lovino retorted as he walked over and helped Feliciano up. "Dammit! Just go see one of the clothing bastards to help fix your damn wig! I have to go get changed too!"
"I wanted to give you this~!" Giggling, Feliciano wrapped his arms around Lovino and hugged him tightly. "Everything is going so well~! This is so much fun~! Are you having fun to~? I hope so! I wanted to do this with you! That's why I got you to audition in the first place~!"
"You're fucking rambling…." Lovino grumbled. Then he flicked Feliciano's forehead and said, "And I still fucking forbid your damn marriage. Find some bastard who's not a damn potato first."
Feliciano laughed. "I won't promise anything," he chirped. Then he let his brother go and skipped away to change his dress and wig.
Lovino grumbled and rolled his eyes and walked off, but not before walking past Gilbert and stomping down hard on his foot.
"OW!"
"Shut up! You fucking deserve it!"
At the end of the intermission, the audience sat back down, and the lights dimmed. The current reopened on the ball room, the cast looking around at the ice growing everywhere.
Setting his features, Feliciano turned to the audience. "I'm going after her. I'll bring Elsa back."
"No! You can't! It's to dangerous!" Gilbert argued.
"I'm going. You can't stop me. In fact, Hans, I need you to take temporary control of the kingdom while I go in search of my sister."
Gilbert's eyes widened. "W-What?"
"Arendelle needs a ruler and since the Queen is gone and I have to go find her, I need you to help me. Please?" Feliciano gave the albino his best doe-eyed look.
The Prussian sighed. "Very well. I will look after the kingdom while you're gone, Anna."
"Thank you." Spinning around, Feliciano jumped off the stage and ran down the aisle to the double doors. "Cold cold cold!" he yelped as though freezing. The lights on the stage dimmed and the scene was set.
When the lights brightened again, it was to show a little shop, a sigh reading 'TRADING POST' in bold lettering painted on a sign stuck to the wall.
Feliciano entered the shop, looking around curiously.
"Yeah?" The blond worker said as he glanced up. "Can I like, totally help you?"
"Hello~! Do you happen to sell winter clothes?" the Italian asked.
"Like, over there. The winter section," Feliks said as he pointed over to the tiny winter section surrounded by summer supplies.
"Thanks~!" Feliciano went over and picked out his costume, then took it back to the counter. "I'll buy these, please~!"
"Really? That color combination?" Feliks asked as the play director hissed at him back stage that that wasn't even in the script.
"..." Feliciano looked at the outfit, then shrugged. "I like it. Yes, I want this, please. How much?"
Feliks told him the amount then held out his hand for the money.
Taking out his purse, Feliciano began to count the money. "Oh~! By the way~! Do people come by here often? Like, a guide for the mountain?" he asked.
"What? Like, no! No one comes here!" Feliks said. "Well…. Except you and that weirdo behind you." He pointed back at Ludwig who was completely bundled up from head to toe with goggles over his eyes.
Blankly looking at Feliciano, he said, "Carrots."
Feliciano jumped in surprise and turned around. He looked at the bundled teen in confusion. "I'm sorry... What...?"
Ludwig sighed as he moved Feliciano out of the way and reached behind him, grabbed a bundle of carrots and holding them up while he pulled the cloth covering his mouth down. "You were blocking me. I needed to buy them." Then he grabbed a rope and a grappling hook and placed them on the counter. "How much?" he asked Feliks.
Feliks looked between them and gave him a ridiculously high amount.
"I can't afford that." Lovino answered with a frown.
"Then you like don't get it at all." The blond scoffed back. "Laters or you'll, like totally get thrown out." He pointed back at a large worker.
Ludwig groaned then left without another word.
Feliciano watched him go, then turned back. "I'll pay for it." He set the money on the counter, along with a little extra for Felix. He smiled, then hid behind a wall and changed into the winter clothes. Returning, he gathered the remaining items into his arms, then headed out the door, following Ludwig off stage.
The crew quickly changed the scene and Ludwig walked back on.
Ludwig headed into a nearby cave that served as a animal stable and sighed as he sat down and leaned back against the wall of the cave while pulling off the snow gear on his head then glanced at the Great Dane dressed like a reindeer next to him. "Reindeers are better than people. Sven, don't you think that's true?"
Then in a different tone to be the reindeer he sang, "Yeah, people will beat you, and curse you, and cheat you. Every one of them's bad except you."
Back as himself, he petted Sven's head. "Oh, thanks buddy. But people smell better than reindeers." He glanced at the reindeer. "Sven, don't you think that I'm right?"
"That's once again true, for all except you." Ludwig sang as Sven and moved his mouth to make him talk.
Ludwig yawned then stretched as he started to lay down in the hay. "You got me, let's call it a night."
"Good night." Ludwig as Sven sang while the real dog wagged his tail and licked Ludwig's cheek.
Yawning again, Ludwig laid down next the dog and closed his eyes. "Don't let the frostbite bite…."
Suddenly, something hit Ludwig in the head and thump onto the ground. When the vampire opened his eyes, he discovered Feliciano standing over him, smiling.
"I've come to bribe you to be my guide up the mountain~!" he chirped.
Ludwig frowned as he sat up and looked through the bag. "The carrots aren't in here."
Feliciano giggled. "Check your head, silly~."
Ludwig frowned more as he reached up and looked at the bag, then back at Feliciano. "Why do you want to go up there?" he asked as he grabbed one them let the dog bite it before biting into it too.
The werewolf stared at him. "Uh..." Then he shook his head to clear it and continued. "I need to find someone."
Ludwig finished off the carrot then laid back down. "Fine. We'll leave in the morning. Go away."
"Um... Could I... stay with you...?" Feliciano asked.
Ludwig shrugged in reply and closed his eyes. "Your choice."
Feliciano knelt down at his side and began to poke him. "Hey. Hey. Get up. Come on. I bribed you to help me. Get up and help me."
"No. I said tomorrow." Ludwig retorted. However after a small argument the two packed up everything and walked off stage as the lights dimmed and the stage crew changed the set to a forest area while Ludwig and Feliciano were moved into position on a sleigh.
"Seriously?" Ludwig asked as he glanced at Feliciano. "How do you marry some guy you barely meet?"
"It was meant to be," Feliciano insisted.
"Oh don't tell me you're going to go on about true love and all that fake crap," Ludwig grumbled as he beat the reigns.
Feliciano pouted and hit Ludwig's shoulder. "It's NOT fake or crap!" he whined.
"Really…." Ludwig said disbelievingly. "Then tell me what you know about the guy. Name doesn't count."
"He's from the Southern Isles!"
Ludwig blinked then snorted. "You don't know anything." Then, before Feliciano could reply, he paused and covered Feliciano's mouth with his hand as he tensed up and looked around. "Quiet."
Feliciano looked up at him, confused and a little frightened, wondering what was happening.
"Wolves," Ludwig mouthed then made Sven go faster, soon enough all of them being chased by a pack of wolves around the stage until they rushed to the end of the stage and jumped off it, the stage crew making it look like sleigh broke into pieces as the group walked down the aisle and out the double doors to the back of the stage to get ready for the next scene as stage crew cleaned up.
"Attacked by wolves, huh?" Lovino, who was leaning against the wall near the doors to the back of the stage while watching the actual stage, commented as Ludwig and Feliciano came back.
Feliciano giggled. "Ironic, huh?" he said.
Lovino shrugged. "Well, seeing now technically I'm STILL a damn villain in this in a way, not really. Just get your ass on stage."
With one final giggle, Feliciano and Ludwig ran back onto the stage, panting. "D-Did we lose them?" Feliciano asked looking behind them nervously.
"All but this." Ludwig answered as he held up the bag with the hook and carrots. Then he looked around while Sven stayed close. "But it looks like we lost them… We should be safe now. And close. See?" He pointed offstage.
Feliciano stared. "... Is that a snowman...?"
Ludwig nodded and moved closer to it and circled the snowman. "Hmm… Looks like someone may have built it recently."
Suddenly, the snowman burst into life, leaping towards them. "Hi there~!" he yelled, revealing his identity to be Alfred.
Feliciano let out a deafening shriek, jumping backwards and tripping over himself, falling back onto the stage.
"You're ALIVE?!" Ludwig exclaimed as he stumbled back and stared at Alfred with wide eyes.
"Yep yep! My name's Olaf~! Nice to meet you people~! Who are you? What are you doing here?" Alfred asked, laughing and smiling.
"Ask that one," Ludwig said as he gestured towards Feliciano, feeling very awkward at having to call his boyfriend a girl. "It's HER idea we're out here."
"I-I'm looking for my sister, Elsa," Feliciano stuttered.
"Elsa? Hey~! I know her~! She made me and brought me to life~!" Alfred said excitedly.
"Brought you to life?" Ludwig asked then kicked a bit of the fake snow on the stage. "Then you must like all of this. It's putting my ice company out of business."
"Aww man, ice is great and all, but it sucks! I want to live somewhere warm and sunny!" Alfred whined.
"Really?" Ludwig said as he quirked an eyebrow, "I'm guessing you don't have much experience with heat."
"Nope! But sometimes I like to close my eyes and imagine what it'll be like when summer does come..." Alfred sighed wistfully. Music began and the American began his little fun song, the lights dimming and a spot light appearing on the snowman.
"Bees will buzz, Kids will blow dandelion fuzz, And I'll be doing whatever snow does in summer~! A drink in my hand, My snow up against the burning sand~. Prob'ly getting gorgeously tanned in summer~!" Alfred spun around, then jumped into the air and twirled, landing lighting and smiling brightly at the crowd.
"I'll finally see a summer breeze blow away a winter storm, And find out what happens to solid water when it gets warm, And I can't wait to see, What my buddies all think of me~! Just imagine how much cooler I'll be in summer~!"
The merman did a happy little jig. "Dah-dah, da-doo, a-bah-bah-bah bah-bah-boo~! The hot and the cold are both so intense, Put 'em together, it just makes sense! Rrr-raht da-daht dah-dah-dah dah-dah-dah dah dah doo~!"
"Winter's a good time to stay in and cuddle, But put me in summer and I'll be a... happy snowman! When life gets rough, I like to hold on to my dream, Of relaxing in the summer sun, just lettin' off steam~!" He skipped around the pair excitedly. "Oh, the sky will be blue, And you guys will be there too, When I finally do what frozen things do in summer!"
Ludwig watched him with a slight frown then said, "I'm gonna tell him."
Feliciano, who'd been smiling and watching the snowman, gasped, his eyes widening as he turned quickly towards the German. "Don't you dare!"
Alfred, who hadn't been listening, suddenly jumped into the arm and slid forward to the edge of the stage. "IIIIINNN SUUUUMMEEEEEEEEEEEERR!"
"Alfred…." Matthew sighed from back stage. "Doing that wasn't in the script….."
"Olaf, can you lead us to Elsa?" Feliciano asked, walking up to the snowman and touching his shoulder.
"Yeah! Totally! Come on, let's go~!"
The group headed off stage and stage crew changed the set to Lovino's ice castle as the group started walking towards it from down the aisle.
"Well… looks like this it…" Ludwig said as he started up the stairs.
"You guys wait out here," Feliciano said when they got to the door. "She's my sister, I'm going to talk to her alone."
"What?!" Ludwig exclaimed. "No! I'm going with you! What if something happens?!"
Feliciano smiled gently at his boyfriend. "Don't worry. She won't hurt me."
Ludwig stared at him for a few seconds then held up his hand. "Five minutes. Then I'm coming in there after you."
The Italian nodded, then pushed open the doors and entered the ice castle. The crew did a quick set change so the audience could see the inside of the castle. Once inside, Feliciano called out, "Elsa! Elsa, where are you?"
"Anna…?" Lovino asked as he moved out from back stage and stared at his brother. "Is that you?"
Feliciano turned to his brother. His eyes widened. "Wow. That dress is really pretty on you~! It looks really nice~!" he complimented.
Lovino blinked then gave a small smile, while shooting a split second glare at his brother with his eyes before looking nervous and moving away. "You shouldn't be here. You should leave." Then he starting walking across the stage.
"What? W-Why?" Feliciano asked, walking towards his twin.
"B-Because! I want you safe….. J-Just… Please… Leave…"
"You don't have to protect me. I'm not afraid! Please don't shut me out again," Feliciano begged. Music began softly and the werewolf began to sing gently. "Please don't slam the door. You don't have to keep your distance anymore, 'Cause for the first time in forever, I finally understand. For the first time in forever, We can fix this hand in hand. We can head down this mountain together! You don't have to live in fear... Cause for the first time in forever I will be right here."
Lovino steered himself as he faced his brother. "Anna," He said then sang as he kept his hands close to himself. "Please go back home. Your life awaits. Go enjoy the sun- And open up the gates."
"Yeah, but —"
"I know!" Lovino snapped then sighed before singing, "You mean well, but leave me be. Yes, I'm alone but I'm alone and free! Just stay away and you'll be safe from me." Then he turned to walk off again while wrapping his arms around his body.
Feliciano bite his lip, then answered softly, "Actually... We're not."
Lovino froze. "What do you mean you're not?"
"I get the feeling you don't know..."
"What do I not know?" Lovino asked as he frowned and turned slightly back to look at Feliciano.
"Arendelle's in deep, deep, deep, deep... Snow."
Lovino frowned more. "What?"
"You've kind of set off an eternal winter... everywhere," Feliciano explained, scratching the back of his head.
"Everywhere?" Lovino nervously asked.
Feliciano held out his hands to his twin. "It's okay, you can just unfreeze it!" he reassured him.
Lovino trembled as he drew into himself and moved back away from Feliciano, "No, I can't. I—I don't know how!"
The Italian stepped towards him. "Sure you can! I know you can! `Cause for the first time in forever..."
Lovino turned and walked away as a small snow storm started building up around him. "Oh I'm such a fool! I can't be free!"
"You don't have to be afraid..."
"No escape from the storm inside of me!" Lovino cried while refusing to turn around as the snow storm started growing.
"We can work this out together!" Feliciano cried, forcing himself to stay calm and take another step closer.
Lovino turned away more to face the audience while shakingly staring down at his hands and moving away from Feliciano again, "I can't control the curse!"
"We'll reverse the storm you've made," he promised, reaching out for the other.
"Anna, please, you'll only make it worse!" Lovino sang as he kept a good amount of distance between them.
"Don't panic!" Feliciano insisted.
Lovino grabbed at his head and shook it slight in growing panic as the snow storm grew around them. "There's so much fear!"
"We'll make the sun shine bright!" he claimed firmly.
"You're not safe here!" Lovino exclaimed as he did a quick glance back at Feliciano before moving away.
"We can face this thing together!"
"No!"
"We can change this winter weather!" Feliciano took another step towards Lovino.
"AHHHHH..." Lovino sang as he huddled close and turned away while holding his head with his eyes squeezed shut.
The Italian slowly reached out to the other. "And everything will be all right..."
"I CAN'T!" Lovino screamed then threw his arm back towards Feliciano a wave of ice magic going out, some of it hitting him square in the chest.
Feliciano gasped and stumbled backwards away from his brother.
Lovino gasped too and took a step back as Ludwig raced into the room and grabbed Feliciano's shoulders. Tearing up and trembling, he said, "Y-You… you have to leave. Now."
Before either one of the other two could reply, Lovino threw out his hands, creating a giant snow monster that chased them (along with Sven and Alfred) down the aisle and out the door as Lovino turned away and drew himself close to himself as the lights dimmed.
When the scene was relite, it back in Arendelle. Gilbert was going from person to person, giving out large, warm looking blankets to the citizens. Suddenly, an extra dressed as a solider rushed up to him, declaring that Princess Anna had gone missing.
"What!?" Gilbert demanded. The solider repeated himself and the albino turned to the audience, throwing out his hand towards them. "Organize a search party immediately. We're going to find Princess Anna and Queen Elsa. We shall return them to Arendelle ourselves."
The soldier nodded, then ran back off stage and the lights went off.
"You still better stay the fuck away from mio fratellino, you bastard," Lovino warned as he waited for the albino offstage. "You're playing this part a little TOO damn well…"
Gilbert laughed, then reached out and ruffled Lovino's hair. "Aw, you worry to much," he said. "I'm not interested in Feli-kins. I have Birdie, I don't need anyone else! Kesesese!" he assured the Italian. He quickly ran off before Lovino could enact any revenge for his actions.
"Fuck you!" Lovino yelled after him and threw his shoe at the Prussian vampire, trying to chase after him as Ludwig and Feliciano appeared back on stage.
"Are you alright?" Ludwig asked, frowning as he looked over at Feliciano. "…. Your hair's turning white."
"Huh?" Feliciano looked at one of his braids, watching it change color. "No, I'm fine," he said, a little shiver going down his spine.
"… Come on. I know someone who can help," Ludwig said as he help Feliciano to his feet then led him off stage.
The crew quickly reset the stage and Feliciano, Ludwig, and Alfred returned. Feliciano was shivering now, rubbing his arms as he tried to keep warm.
Ludwig looked around while keeping his arms around Feliciano to help make him warm just as Arthur and Francis popped out from behind some fake rocks. "Kristoff is home! AND he's brought a girl!" Francis called out happily as the two ran over to them.
"No!" Ludwig snapped. "She's here with me! She's here because-!"
But before he could say anything else, bright cheerful music started up as Francis moved over to Feliciano and put his arm around his shoulder. "What's the issue, dear? Why are you holding back from such a man?" Then he moved over to Ludwig and pointed at his leg. "Is it the clumpy way he walks?"
Arthur jumped in to the song and sang as he grabbed Ludwig's mouth. "Or the grumpy way he talks?"
Francis reached down and held up Ludwig's foot slightly, causing Ludwig to start losing his balance. "Or the pear-shaped, square-shaped, Weirdness of his feet?"
"And though we know he washes," Arthur wrinkled his nose slightly. "Well - he always ends up sort of smelly."
Francis moved in front of Feliciano and smiled. "But you'll never meet a fellow who's as-"
Then the two of them sang together. "Sensitive and sweet! So he's a bit of a fixer-upper, So he's got a few flaws."
They switched to taking turns, Francis singing the next part as he leaned near Feliciano. "Like his peculiar brain, dear."
Arthur pointed at Sven. "His thing with the reindeer."
They looked at each other, then began the next part at the same time. "That's a little outside of nature's laws!"
The two started doing a dance around the two of them, singing at the same time, "So he's a bit of a fixer-upper, but this we're certain of. You can fix this fixer-upper, Up with a little bit of love!"
Ludwig groaned then dragged a hand down his face. "Can we please just… stop talking about this? We've got a real, actual problem here," He said then motioned towards Feliciano.
However, Francis cut him off. "I'll say! So tell me, dear. Is it the way that he runs scared?" he sang like he was whispering to Feliciano.
Arthur looked over at Ludwig critically. "Or that he's socially impaired?"
Francis glanced around and acted like he was going to whisper as he sang, "Or that he only likes to tinkle in the woods—." He stopped and looked at them, then the audience. "What?!"
Feliciano made a face. "I did not need to know that..."
Alfred simply stared at the two in shock.
Arthur smirked (while inwardly twitching) then tapped his chin with a finger. "Are you holding back your Fondness due to his unmanly blondness?"
"Or the way he covers Up that he's the honest goods?" Francis sang.
They began dancing around and singing at the same time again. "He's just a bit of a fixer-upper. He's got a couple of bugs. His isolation is confirmation, Of his desperation for human hugs. So he's a bit of a fixer-upper, But we know what to do. The way to fix up this fixer-upper... Is to fix him up with you!"
"ENOUGH!" Ludwig yelled, "She is engaged to someone else, okay?!"
There was a beat of music as Francis and Arthur glanced at each other.
Arthur shrugged and held up his hands. "So she's a bit of a fixer-upper."
"That's a minor thing," Francis sang with a smile.
"Her quote 'engagement' is a flex arrangement," Arthur added in with air quotes.
Francis grabbed Feliciano's hand and pointed at the ring finger. "And by the way I don't see no ring!"
Arthur took over as he spun Feliciano around. "So she's a bit of a fixer-upper, Her brain's a bit betwixt. Get the fiancé out of the way and The whole thing will be fixed."
Francis took Feliciano back. "We're not sayin' you can change him, 'Cause people don't really change. We're only saying that love's a force, That's powerful and strange. People make bad choices if they're mad, Or scared, or stressed. Throw a little love their way."
He blew a kiss at Ludwig who scooted back away from him. "Throw a little love their way."
"And you'll bring out their best!" They both sang then continued as they danced around the two of them. "True love brings out their best! Everyone's a bit of a fixer-upper, That's what it's all about!"
"Father!" Arthur exclaimed as the two stopped dancing for a moment.
"Sister!" Francis shot back.
"Brother!" Arthur cried then the two went back into the dance. "We need each other to raise Us up and round us out. Everyone's a bit of a fixer-upper, But when push comes to shove."
Alfred jumped in with his line. "The only fixer-upper fixer That can fix up a fixer-upper is..."
Smiling now as they pushed Feliciano and Ludwig together, Arthur and Francis jumped back into the song each one taking over a different part of it. "True! true! True, true, true! Love (True love) Love, love, love, love, love Love! (True love!) True..."
Arthur moved in front of Feliciano and Ludwig while pulling out a book, then flipped through it. "Do you, Anna, take Kristoff to be your troll-fully wedded?"
Feliciano blinked. "Wait, what?"
"You're getting married!" Arthur pointed out as he shooed Francis away who managed to call back, "Love!"
Ludwig shared a shocked, speechless look with Feliciano before shaking his head. "What?! No! We're here because there's a problem!"
Arthur raised an eyebrow as he closed the book and put it to his side. "Problem?"
"Yes! Look!" The German vampire exclaimed as he gestured towards Feliciano's hair. "AND she's shivering!"
Frowning now, Arthur moved closer and took Feliciano's hand. "… like ice…" He quickly glanced at Feliciano's chest then up at his face. "There is nothing I can do. Ice has worked its way into your heart. Unless something is done, you will become completely frozen. Only a act of true love can save you now… I'm… I'm sorry." Then he let go.
"True love..." Feliciano's eyes widened. "Hans."
Ludwig glanced at Feliciano and frowned. "…. We should go. Now." Then he put his arm around Feliciano again and led him off stage as the lights dimmed.
Arthur stormed off the stage, cursing and grumbled under his breath. "I swear! The mess they make me go through! That was the STUPIDEST bloody thing I've ever had to do! Who makes this shit anyway?!"
"Blame whoever came up with the story," Gilbert said, on his way back to the stage.
"I do NOT what to hear it from you," Arthur spat then stomped off into the back.
Rolling his eyes, the albino went back on stage. After a few minutes for acting with a couple others, he ordered, "Bring me Queen Elsa. Alive."
At that moment, a loud roar rang through the room as the snow monster Lovino had created before rose up from the floor and began to attack them.
Taking advantage of the distraction, two of the extras snuck past it and into the castle, where the stage crew did a quick turn to show the inside of it.
"Queen Elsa! We're under orders of the duke to kill you and end this eternal winter!" One the extras yelled then fired a fake crossbow, which Lovino froze in a quickly made ice wall before backing away and looking between them as they attacked again.
Dodging, Lovino waved his hand and created a wall between him and one of the extras that grew spikes that forced the other to be pinned to the wall, then turned his attention on the other extra as part of a arrow grazed his cheek. With a slight angry snarl on his face he held up his hand and started using a wall of ice that started pushing the extra to the edge of the stage, which at this point was supposed to be the edge of a cliff while the ice castle around them started to shake and fall apart.
Gilbert suddenly ran onto the scene. "Elsa! Stop! Do you want to become a monster!?" he yelled.
Lovino froze and stared at Gilbert fearfully before spinning around and starting to run off but collapsed to the ground, knocked out by a chuck (that was really foam) of the ice chandelier falling down and hitting him in the head. The lights dimmed again to change the scene.
In the new scene, which was a jail cell, Lovino slowly woke up with a wince then jerked in surprise as he looked down and saw his hands completely shackled. He quickly and fearfully looked around the room before he heard the door to the cell start to open.
The albino entered the room. "Sorry about the cell and cuffs... We just had to be careful. Elsa... Please... You have to put this winter to an end!" he begged. "The kingdom is suffering and the people aren't going to last much longer."
Lovino flinched and looked away. "I-I can't! I-I don't know how..!"
Then, before either one could say something else, a extra ran into the room. "P-Princess Anna! She's back!" Then he pointed out the cell window to the other side of the stage where Ludwig was dropping Feliciano off and walked away with Sven while extras dressed as servants started wrapping Feliciano in blankets, then led him off stage as well just before the lights dimmed to allow for the set change to Feliciano's room with the fire going as the servants brought Feliciano into the room and set him in front of the fire place then ran off to go get Gilbert.
Feliciano set in a armchair, shivering, his teeth chattering, his hair entirely white. Gilbert entered the room and went to him, taking one of the Italian's hands in his own. "Anna! What happened?"
"H-Hans..." Feliciano stuttered. "Y-You were right... I should have b-been more careful... E-Elsa... She f-froze my heart. O-Only true love c-can help me."
Gilbert knelt down, gently holding Feliciano's face in his hand. He leaned towards him, as though to kiss him. Feliciano's eyes closed and he leaned forward as well. Suddenly, a smirk grew on Gilbert's face.
"Oh Anna," he murmured softly. "If only there was someone who loved you."
Feliciano's eyes snapped open and he stared at the vampire. "W-What...?" he whispered.
Gilbert straightened. "The kingdom is mine now, Anna." He walked to the fireplace, dowsing the fire, instantly making the room colder, then he went to the door. "You were dumb enough to get yourself cursed, this is your own fault. Now all I have to do is kill Elsa and I will have full control. Thanks for the kingdom, dear princess~."
"N-No," Feliciano whimpered, each breath creating a cloud of white before him.
The Prussian teen left the stage and it was reset to a council room.
Gilbert burst in, his eyes filled with tears. "Princess Anna is dead!" he cried. Horrified yells sounded from the extras. Gilbert bit his lip as though he was struggling with his next words. "I'm afraid... I'm afraid we have no choice now. As much as it pains me to say this, Queen Elsa is far to dangerous to be allowed to stay alive. She has committed treason by killing a member of the royal family. Queen Elsa... must be put to death."
Back in a side section that was set up as Lovino's cell, the Italian was yanking at the chains, gritting his teeth as his ice powers began covering the metal as the 'outside' started picking up a snow storm, growing into a blizzard, until finally, the shackles snapped and a wall near him crumbled, allowing the Italian to dart out and into backstage.
The lights dimmed and the set switched back to Ludwig and Sven, with the reindeer trying to get the German vampire to head back to Feliciano.
"No! She has her true love!" Ludwig retorted as he walked around Sven only to be blocked again. As he went to snap back, the sound of the blizzard reached his ears causing him to pale and turn around. "A-Anna…." He gasped then rushed off the stage as the stage crew switched the set back to Feliciano's room.
Alfred entered the freezing room. He gasped upon finding Feliciano curled up in a ball on the ground, shaking harshly from the cold. He ran to his side. "Anna!" He gently helped the werewolf sit up. "Come on, we have to get you out of here and find your true love!"
"B-But... H-Hans..." Feliciano murmured weakly. "H-He doesn't love me..."
"No! Not that jerk! I mean Kristoff! Kristoff is your true love! He loves you!" Alfred cried. Getting Feliciano onto his feet, the two left the stage and it was reset to outside the castle.
Gilbert ran on as Lovino backed onto the stage from the other side. "Elsa!" Gilbert roared over the wind. "What have you done!? Because of you, your sister is dead! You've frozen her to death!"
Lovino froze as he glanced back at Gilbert then stumbled back while holding his head. "N-No! S-She can't!" he exclaimed as the fake storm suddenly stopped, revealing himself and Gilbert on the right of the stage, Feliciano in the middle, and Ludwig on the left. While still holding his head Lovino fell to his knees, burying his face in his hands.
Gilbert approached Lovino, raising his sword into the air, ready to stab the elder Italian.
Feliciano looked back and forth between Ludwig and Lovino, then turned and ran to his twin. He jumped in front of the falling blade, lifting his hand to defend Lovino. His body seemed to freeze solid just as the sword hit his hand, shattering to pieces and flying across the stage.
Thanks to the kitsune's special effects, Feliciano actually did look like a statue of someone made out of ice.
"ANNA! NO! Y-You can't be-!" Lovino screamed then moved around in front of Feliciano, sobbing as he gently wrapped his arms around his brother and fell to his knees, still holding onto Feliciano as Ludwig stumbled over with a shell-shocked look on his face.
Slowly, the ice seemed to melt and soon, Feliciano collapsed into Lovino's arms, unfrozen.
Lovino slowly stopped crying as he looked at his brother. "A-Anna…?" he stuttered as Ludwig's eyes widened.
"How…..?" The German asked.
Alfred gasped. "I see! Anna saving her sister was an act of true love! She unfroze herself by risking her life for Elsa!"
Feliciano weakly pushed himself up, looking up at his brother. "E-Elsa..."
"…. Love?" Lovino asked as he looked down at his hands then smiled at his brother. "I think…. I CAN bring back summer…." He held his hands up and concentrated. In a matter of seconds, all of the ice and snow covering the stage and auditorium lifted off and disappeared. With a small laugh, Lovino glanced over at Olaf. "Don't think I forgot about you, little guy," He said as he moved his hand around in a circle, creating a small snow cloud over the snowman.
The lights dimmed and the crew changed the set to the castle grounds with the group standing in the middle of it.
"Watch this," Lovino said with a wink to his brother as he threw his hands up in the air, causing the walls to be decorated in ice while the floor changed to a ice rink as the extras looked around in wonder and amazement.
Feliciano covered his mouth, his eyes widening in awe. "Oh Elsa! It's beautiful!" he cried.
"Thanks," Lovino said with a smile then had to walk off a few feet away due to some of the extras calling him over.
Gilbert walked towards Feliciano and Ludwig, opening his mouth to speak. Without missing a beat, Feliciano punched the vampire in the face, knocking him off the stage.
Feliciano turned to Ludwig, a bright smile forming on his face. He took the other teen's hand and stepped onto the ice, gently pulling the German with him. The two skated in a few circles, their arms tightly around each other. Finally, Feliciano looked up, his eyes sparkling from the lights.
He stood up on the tips of his toes and pulled Ludwig down into a soft kiss, then pulled back a little. "I love you," he cooed. Then, the lights went out.
When they turned back on, the entire cast was lined along the stage. The audience erupted into loud applause and cheers. They stood up, giving the cast a standing ovation.
The cast moved back and the director came onto the stage. He read through the names of the actors, each time he said a name, that actor would step to the front, take a bow, then return to the line. Once everyone had been called, including the students who had worked backstage, they took hands, raised them into the air, and took a final bow all together. Then the curtain closed.
As soon as the velvet curtains shut, Feliciano let out a loud squeal of joy and pounced on his brother. "Oh Lovi~! That was so much fun~!" he chirped, giggling as his arms wrapped tightly around his twin's neck.
Lovino growled as he pried himself free and yanked off the wig and threw it to the ground, where it was soon followed by his shoes and dress until the werewolf was standing there in just his boxers. "I am NEVER fucking doing something like that ever fucking again! You hear me you little bastard?!"
A few of the female cast members fainted from this action, though Feliciano just giggled more. Antonio quickly rushed over, covering his boyfriend with a blanket and handing Lovino his jeans. "L-Lovi, you can't just strip like that!"
"Shut up!" Lovino snapped as he yanked the jeans on. "You assholes were the ones who forced me into that damn dress! Ever think about making me be a damn KING instead?!" Then he shot a glare over at Alfred. "The fuck are you looking at?!"
A large grin formed on the merman's face. "Freeze ray~."
Lovino growled as he clenched his fists. "You are SO fucking dead!" He yelled then grabbed a nearby fake sword and started chasing Alfred around the stage while trying to hit him with the sword. "Get your fat ass over here so I can wring your fucking neck!"
Alfred let out a loud screech, running for his life. "Arthur! Arthur, help me!" he yelled. "Lovino's going to kill meeeee!"
However, the mage had already left to get changed.
"Shut up!" Lovino growled and continued chasing Alfred. "Get the fuck over here!"
"Veh! Lovi! Stop! Leave Al alone!" Feliciano whined, chasing after the two, flailing his arms.
"Fuck no! HE'S the one who started this shit!"
Antonio watched them, smiling brightly. "Isn't Lovi cute~?" he cooed.
Ludwig sighed then facepalmed as he shook his head slightly. What did he ever do to deserve something like this…?
