for Can't Hold Back7/7/2020 c1 Anonymius
During their race, Gerda saw the Robber Queen. "Hello!" She waved at her. The queen turned around. Startled, she fell over into some nearby mud. Later, they've seen the other bandits. "Hello!" She waved to them, harboring no more ill suited feelings. "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."
Then they 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, "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've seen what she was looking at. "You miss your old childhood home, Arendelle, don't you?" "Yes," Elsa replied, "I never thought I'd ever see it again." "Do you think you'll go back there?" Kai asked Elsa. "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 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 Olaf. "Spring? GASP! I love it just as much!" They've seen 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 who led Elsa into the southern village. "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 staying out of sight for now," Gerda told him. "Righteo!" Olaf saluted before he got 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. Which was all they could do on some days. They tried to keep busy. They've rarely spokem. After all, they've lost both of their children. They could still hear them, playing in the house, calling for them. "Mom! Dad!" Which took them a moment to realize 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?"
Which 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!" their mother said, "Gerda, where have you been? Kai, we thought you 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 an outer 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 inner Ice King, and the 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 walked into the house, not scared, however, a little wary, noticing Gerda and Kai's parents stare at her as if she was some sort of exotic bird they've never seen before. Gerda started to explain who she was. "Grandmama, Mama, Papa, this is-" "Elsa?" Everyone looked at the old woman who stared at the Northern Snow Queen as if she was a ghost. Slowly, she walked towards her, her hands trembling. "Is it really you?" "Mother, what is it?" Her daughter asked. Gerda and Kai's grandmother stood in front of the confused Northern Snow Queen who asked her. "I'm sorry. Do I know you?" The old woman revealed herself to stun Elsa. "It's me, Anna." Much to Elsa's realization. "A-Anna, is it really you?" The old woman nodded. She couldn't believe it, however, there was no mistaking it. She was looking at her sister! Both old 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?" The old woman turned to look at her granddaughter, Gerda. "You may wish I never was, however, I've given up the title after I came to live and grow up here, I was raised here as anything else at heart more than just Arendelle's other royal crown princess, especially as a southern non royal at heart! Besides, I don't think a princess marrying an ice man would be approved." However, Elsa cried. "Oh Anna, I missed you so much! I can't believe you're here!" "I missed you, too, Elsa." Two elderly women/sisters have gotten up off the floor to stare at each other. "Anna, I want you to know-" "I know, Elsa. I know everything." "You do? No Anna, you don't -" "Yes I do. And I'm so sorry for making you freeze my young 5 year old head elsewhere in Arendelle's ballroom." "No, Anna, one traumatic accident was my fault. If only I hadn't been so reckless, you and I could've grown up elsewhere in Arendelle together as sisters." "No, Elsa, you were just trying to save me from getting hurt, however, I jumped too fast." "Then again, you were just 5, whereas, I was 8. You didn't understand how real world works, did you?" "No, you know better than I do." "However, not everything I don't, either." "One childhood traumatic accident was the last time we've seen each other before you and our parents have given one another me a warm hug, told me you love each other and we'll miss each other." Anna reminded Elsa. "Until I ended up raised elsewhere in the distant Northern ice castle far away from Arendelle since I was 8." "Whereas, I've ended up raised here far away from Arendelle since I was 5." "I wish neither of us had to end up raised separately in the first place." "Me too." "Could you believe we had to grow up separately?" "We've been surviving separately for many years." "Remember the day Mama and Papa died in a storm while overseas, leaving us orphaned during our young teenage years?" "Yes, this was just as traumatic as one childhood accident." "After the same funeral you and I were at, we've dispersed by going back home separately instead of Arendelle." "I was never there at your coronation." "I wish you were."
During their race, Gerda saw the Robber Queen. "Hello!" She waved at her. The queen turned around. Startled, she fell over into some nearby mud. Later, they've seen the other bandits. "Hello!"

As they continued to ride, Gerda saw that Elsa suddenly had a sombre look. They've seen what she was looking at. "You miss your old childhood home, Arendelle, don't you?" "Yes," Elsa replied, "I never thought I'd ever see it again." "Do you think you'll go back there?" Kai asked Elsa. "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 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 Olaf. "Spring? GASP! I love it just as much!" They've seen 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 who led Elsa into the southern village. "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 staying out of sight for now," Gerda told him. "Righteo!" Olaf saluted before he got 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. Which was all they could do on some days. They tried to keep busy. They've rarely spokem. After all, they've lost both of their children. They could still hear them, playing in the house, calling for them. "Mom! Dad!" Which took them a moment to realize 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?"
Which 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!" their mother said, "Gerda, where have you been? Kai, we thought you 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 an outer 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 inner Ice King, and the 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 walked into the house, not scared, however, a little wary, noticing Gerda and Kai's parents stare at her as if she was some sort of exotic bird they've never seen before. Gerda started to explain who she was. "Grandmama, Mama, Papa, this is-" "Elsa?" Everyone looked at the old woman who stared at the Northern Snow Queen as if she was a ghost. Slowly, she walked towards her, her hands trembling. "Is it really you?" "Mother, what is it?" Her daughter asked. Gerda and Kai's grandmother stood in front of the confused Northern Snow Queen who asked her. "I'm sorry. Do I know you?" "It's me, Anna." The old woman revealed herself much to Elsa's realization. "A-Anna, is it really you?" The old woman nodded. She couldn't believe it, however, there was no mistaking it. She was looking at her sister! Both old 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?" The old woman turned to look at her granddaughter, Gerda. "You wish I never was, however, I've given up the title after I came to live and grow up here, I was raised here as anything else at heart more than just Arendelle's other royal crown princess, especially as a southern non royal at heart! Besides, I don't think a princess marrying an ice man would be approved." However, Elsa cried. "Oh Anna, I missed you so much! I can't believe you're here!" "I missed you, too, Elsa." Two elderly women/sisters have gotten up off the floor to stare at each other. "Anna, I want you to know-" "I know, Elsa. I know everything." "You do? No Anna, you don't -" "Yes I do. And I'm so sorry for making you freeze my young 5 year old head elsewhere in Arendelle." "No, Anna, it was my fault. If only I hadn't been so reckless, you and I could've grown up elsewhere in Arendelle together as sisters." "No, you were trying to save me from getting hurt, however, I jumped too fast." "Then again, you didn't understand how real world works, did you?" "No, you know better than I do." "However, not everything." "One childhood traumatic accident was the last time we've seen each other." "Until I ended up raised elsewhere in the distant Northern ice castle far away from Arendelle since I was 8." "Whereas, I've ended up raised here far away from Arendelle since I was 5." "I wish neither of us had to end up raised separately in the first place." "Me too."

During their race, Gerda saw the Robber Queen. "Hello!" She waved at her. The queen turned around. Startled, she fell over into some nearby mud. Later, they've seen the other bandits. "Hello!" She waved to them, harboring no more ill suited feelings. "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."
Then they 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, "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.

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. It 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!"

Their father held out his hand, and their mother clutched it. Which was all they could do on some days. They tried to keep busy. They've rarely spokem. After all they've lost both of their children. They could still hear them, playing in the house, calling for them. "Mom! Dad!" Which took them a moment to realize 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?"
Which 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!" their mother said, "Gerda, where have you been? Kai, we thought you 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 walked into the house, not scared, however, a little wary, noticing Gerda and Kai's parents stare at her as if she was some sort of exotic bird they've never seen before. Gerda started to explain who she was. "Grandmama, Mama, Papa, this is-" "Elsa?" Everyone looked at the old woman who stared at the Northern Snow Queen 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 Northern Snow Queen, Gerda and Kai's grandmother grabbed her hands. "Oh." Tears started to run down her face. "I'm sorry. Do I know you?" Elsa asked. "It's me, Anna." Much to Elsa's realization. "A-Anna, is it really you?" The old woman nodded. 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! You're Princess Anna, Grandmama?" The old woman turned to look at her granddaughter. "I've given up the title after coming to live here, I've grown up to be anything else at heart more than just Arendelle's other royal crown princess! Besides, I don't think a princess marrying an ice man would've been approved." "I can't believe you're here!" Elsa cried, "Oh Anna, I missed you." "I missed you, too, Elsa." "I want you to know-" "I know. I know everything." "You do? No Anna, you don't -" "Yes I do. And I'm so sorry, for making you freeze my 5 year old young head." "No, Anna, it was my fault. If only I hadn't been so reckless, you and I could've grown up elsewhere in Arendelle together as sisters." "No, you were trying to save me from getting hurt, however, I jumped too fast." "Then again, you didn't understand how real world works, did you?" "No, you know better than I do." "However, not everything." "One childhood traumatic accident was the last time we've seen each other." "Until I ended up raised elsewhere in the Northern ice castle far away from Arendelle since I was 8." "Whereas, I've ended up raised here far away from Arendelle since I was 5." "I wish neither of us had to end up raised separately in the first place." "Me too."
During their race, Gerda saw the Robber Queen. "Hello!" She waved at her. The queen turned around. Startled, she fell over into some nearby mud. Later, they've seen the other bandits. "Hello!" She waved to them, harboring 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."
Then they 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, "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 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. It 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.

"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!" their mother said, "Gerda, where have you been? Kai, we thought you 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 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-" "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 snow queen, Gerda and Kai's grandmother grabbed her hands. "Oh." Tears started to run down her face. "I'm sorry. Do I know you?" "It's me, Anna." Much to Elsa's realization. "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've sort of given up the title after coming here, I've grown up to be anything else at heart more than only Arendelle's other royal crown princess! Besides I don't think a princess marrying an ice man would've been approved." "I can't believe you're here!" Elsa cried, "Oh Anna, you need to know-" "I know, Elsa. I know everything." "You do? No Anna, you don't -" "Yes. I do. And I'm so sorry, for making you freeze my 5 year old young head." "No, Anna, it was my fault. If only I hadn't been so reckless, you and I could've grown up elsewhere in Arendelle together." "No, you were trying to save me from getting hurt, however, I jumped too fast." "Then again, when you were just five, you didn't understand how real world works, did you?" "No, you know better than I do." "However, not everything."

This is beautiful! I love how protective Anna is of Elsa. It hurts, but I also really liked how Elsa regressed after knowing her parents were alive. Recovery is not linear, and relapse after a trigger this big is only natural. Thank you for exploring this part of recovery!

EXTERNAL. ROYAL KINGDOM OF ARENDELLE
A familiar, humble castle, built of wood, nestled in a deep fjord was none other than Arendelle. Arendelle changed during the time Anna and Elsa have been gone for past long thirteen years ago when they've grown up to be a classical tale of two long lost sisters of Arendelle since the fateful childhood accident happened that night back when Elsa was eight, whereas, Anna was only five back then. The streets seemed dark and dreary. The whole entire kingdom seemed unwelcoming. The kingdom vanished through the tree line.
EXTERNAL. THE ROYAL GARDEN OF ARENDELLE
"Any other gardeners who don't live in the kingdom of Arendelle usually come to work to make the garden look more and more beautiful, more gorgeous, lovelier and prettier than usual just to impress two long lost sisters of Arendelle only if or when they finally return back to visit."
INTERIOR. THE ROYAL GREAT HALL OF ARENDELLE
"Not only is this where the royal couple rules, but this is where two royal crown princesses used to play together in with Ice, Snow Princess Elsa's magical powers as well until the unexpected, fateful childhood accident happened that night back when Elsa was eight, whereas, Anna was only five back then before the royal rulers have taken their daughters to the rock trolls to get Anna's head healed." "One long lost sister of Arendelle grew up to be anything else at heart more than only just a royal crown princess, less isolated, less lonely anywhere else away from here is Strawberry Blonde Anna and the other long lost sister of Arendelle grew up to be less isolated in the more magical, bigger, huger, larger, more gorgeous, prettier, more beautiful, lovelier, better looking, colder, winter, frostier, snowflake castle/palace/kingdom of ice in a whole entire world of magic away from here is Platinum Blonde Elsa."
INTERIOR. LIBRARY OF ARENDELLE
"Any other bookish bookworms who don't live here usually love to visit here anytime they desire."
INTERIOR. THE BALLROOM OF ARENDELLE
The portrait of a slender, fair skinned, strawberry blonde haired kingly man with mustache, sideburns and green eyes, a slender, fair skinned, brown haired, brunette (in a bun) queenly woman with blue eyes, a radiant pale skinned, light freckled, platinum blonde haired little royal crown princess-y girl with rosy cheeks, pink lips and blue eyes and a fair skinned, light freckled, strawberry blonde haired little royal crown princess-y girl with rosy cheeks, pink lips and turquoise blue eyes all together with each other hangs on the wall of Arendelle. "One's a strawberry blonde is Princess Anna and the other's a platinum blonde is Snow Princess Elsa." "One lacks any magical abilities is Princess Anna and the other's gifted with the magical ability to control ice and snow is Princess Elsa." "One was born on summer solstice is Princess Anna and the other was born on winter solstice is Ice Princess Elsa." "The royal family of Arendelle, huh?" "Yeah."
INTERIOR. OLD NURSERY OF ARENDELLE
"This is the same bedroom Anna and Elsa used to share with each other. In fact, this is where Anna and Elsa used to be roommates until the fateful childhood accident happened that night back when Elsa was eight, whereas, Anna was only five back then." "No wonder they've grown up to be a classical tale of two long lost sisters of Arendelle." "Poor royal rulers of Arendelle really miss their long lost daughters a lot." "I know, right?" "Anna's eighteen, whereas, Elsa's twenty one."

It should've been you who deserves to live with the guilt, not Elsa! "The Sky's Awake was the main reason why you chose to woke up late in the middle of the night. You only have yourself to blame for whatever happened past years ago, especially past thirteen years ago. It's no wonder you just had to lose all of your memories of Elsa's magic. It's too bad! You deserve all of these/those things happened to you anyway. Elsa should've remain an only child which it was a lot better for her. Get over it already. Travel back in time to your past without any and any other shadows.

listen anna haters anna is not stupid or stubborn, in fact you are the stubborn ones! Even after some users, including me, asked you to stop hating on anna, you continued! that is called being stubborn. Also, you forgot that Anna was 5 when she did that!

Their parents had to let Grand Pabbie took all of Anna's real memories of Elsa's magic when it came to the accident/incident and Anna just entirely took it very badly.
