Frozen heart
Back at Arendelle, Hans is handing out anything he can find in the castle to help the citizens to deal with the cold keeping his promise to Anna to keep them safe.
"Cloak? Does anyone need a Cloak?" He asks them.
"Arendelle is indebted to you, your highness." One of the citizens tells him while he walks to the other citizens in need.
"The castle is open. There is soup and hot glogg in the Great Hall." Hans tells the rest of the citizens and passes the cloaks to a guard. "Pass these out." He says and he does as he asks.
"Prince Hans!" Duke calls out for him. "Are we expected to just sit here and freeze while you give away all of Arendell's traceable goods?" He asks Hans.
"Princess Anna has given her orders." Hans states.
"And that's another thing! As soon as the princess left, a pair of outsiders vanished in the same direction as her." Duke says referring to Hiccup and Heather. Of course they were spotted. "Has it dawned on you that your princess may be conspiring with these outsiders and wicked sorceress to destroy us all?" He questions Hans.
Hans gets angry at the man. "Do not question the princess. She left me in charge and I will not hesitate to protect Arendelle from treason." He promises Duke.
"Treason?" He stutters out when they hear a horse come in and it's Anna's.
"Whoa, boy. Easy." Hans yells trying to calm the horse down when everyone starts questioning where Anna is as they recognize the horse as her's.
Hans looks up where the direction he saw Elsa run off in and knows that's where Anna must've gone.
"Princess Anna is in trouble. I need volunteers to go with me to find her." Hans tells them and most of the guards volunteered easily.
"I volunteer two men, my lord!" Duke says referring to his men. "Be prepared for anything. And should you encounter the queen, you are to put an end to this winter. Do you understand?" He asks them and they understand completely.

Up the mountain, the group are making their way through a valley of icicles everywhere.
"So, how exactly are you planning to stop this weather?" Kristoff asks them.
"We were never told." Heather admits and looks to Anna.
"Oh, I am going to talk to my sister." Anna explains her entire plan.
"That's your plan?" Kristoff asks. "My ice business is riding on you talking to your sister?" He questions.
"Yep." Anna says and Kristoff looks in time before he could get stabbed by a icicle.
"So, none of you are afraid of her?" Kristoff asks moving away from the icicle.
"Why would I be?" Anna asks.
"We've dealt with worse." Hiccup states referring to the Red Death.
"Yeah. I bet Elsa's the nicest, gentlest, warmest person ever." Olaf says as he walks through an icicle. "Oh, look at that. I've been impaled." He realizes and chuckles.
-
They keep walking up the mountain and come up across a steep climb they won't be able to get up alone.
"It's too steep to climb." Kristoff says and looks to Heather. "You wouldn't happen to be able to call your dragon, would you?" He wonders.
"No, but we should work on that when we get back to the Edge." Hiccup says thinking that could come in handy for future events.
"Well, I've only got one rope and I'm guessing not all of us know how to climb mountains." Kristoff says and Heather and Hiccup don't exactly know how to through snow and ice, since they never had a reason to. Or the ability to try since the Edge doesn't seem to get snow, at least not like this.
"Says who?" Anna asks and they turn to see her trying to climb the mountain herself.
"What are you doing?" Kristoff questions her as she's failing to climb.
"I'm going to see my sister." Anna says as she struggles to get up.
"You're more likely to kill yourself." Hiccup informs her.
"I wouldn't put my foot there." Kristoff warns Anna as her foot slips.
"You're distracting me." Anna says.
"Or there." Heather also warns as her foot slips again.
"How do you know Elsa even wants to see you?" Kristoff asks her.
"Okay, I'm just blocking you out for now because I gotta concentrate, here." Anna says as she continues to slip.
"You know, most people who disappear want to be alone." Kristoff informs Anna and that statement hit too close to home for Hiccup as it brings up some bad memories of Berk in how he did exactly what Elsa did.
"Nobody wants to be alone." Anna says as she keeps failing to climb up the mountain. "Except maybe you." She states.
"I'm not alone, I have friends, remember?" Kristoff reminds her.
"You mean the love exerts?" Anna asks.
"Yes, the love experts." Kristoff confirms.
Anna is trying to climb and throws one leg over a small piece and is now stuck.
"Please tell me I'm almost there." Anna begs and they look to see she's only several feet off the ground. "Does the air seem a bit thin to you up here?" She wonders not knowing how far she really got.
"This could take a while." Heather says.
"Hey, guys." Olaf calls out to them and they see him in a small hole in the side of the mountain. "I'm not sure if this is gonna solve the problem, but I found a staircase that leads exactly where you want to go." He tells them and points to where he came from.
"Ha-ha! Thank goodness." Anna says relieved she doesn't need to keep climbing. "Catch!" She calls out before letting go of the mountain and into Kristoff's arms.
"Thanks. That was like a crazy trust exercise." She comments on her actions before following Olaf.
They all follow after them and come up across Elsa's castle made entirely out of ice and a staircase leading up to the doors.
"Now, that's ice." Kristoff says gazing at the castle. "I might cry."
"Go ahead, I won't judge." Anna says.
"Come on, let's keep going." Heather says as they continue walking.
Sven tries following them and gets stuck on the stairs.
"All right, Buddy, I got you." Kristoff says and helps Sven back onto the ground. "Okay, you stay right here, buddy." He says and starts heading up.
Hiccup and Heather start walking when Hiccup keeps sliding.
"Darn peg leg." Hiccup says again.
"All right, come on, we'll do this together." Heather says and grabs one of his hands and helps him climb up the staircase.
Anna makes it to the top and approaches the doors before stopping as Olaf is behind her. Hiccup is making it up while Heather is holding his other hand to keep his foot from touching the ice so he doesn't slip as Kristoff joins them.
"Knock." Olaf tells Anna as she's standing there. "Just knock."
"Why isn't she knocking?" Olaf wonders. "Do you think she knows how to knock?" He asks the others as Anna knocks and the doors start opening on their own.
"It opened. That's a first." Anna states remembering all the times Elsa never opened for her in the past. "Oh, you guys should probably wait out here." She tells them.
"Sure." Heather says knowing Hiccup won't be able to continue on like this.
"Especially you, Kristoff. Last time I introduced her to a guy, she froze everything." Anna explains to the man since she already knows Heather and Hiccup from their conversation at the coronation.
"But once on! It's a palace made of ice. Ice is my life!" Kristoff states.
"Bye, Sven." Olaf says and was about to enter the castle when Anna stops him.
"You too, Olaf. Just give us a minute." Anna asks and enters the castle. As she enters the castle, Olaf starts counting down.
The doors close as Anna looks around and sees the staircase and frozen fountain. She looks up to the ceiling and sees its snowflake shaped.
"Elsa?" Anna calls out for her sister. "It's me, Anna." She says before taking a slide on the ice.
"Anna." The voice of Elsa echoes trough and she looks up to see Elsa has changed her look, hair and dress.
"Whoa. Elsa, you look different. It's a good different." Anna admits seeing her sister. "And this place...it's amazing."
"Thank you." Elsa says happy at what she accomplished. "I never knew what I was capable of."
"I'm so sorry about what happened. If I'd have know..." Anna tried apologizing.
"No. No, it's okay. You don't have to apologize, but you should probably go." Elsa tells her.
"But I just got here." Anna states since she traveled all this way to see her.
"And you belong in Arendelle." Elsa tells her.
"So do you." Anna replies to her.
"No, Anna. I belong here. Alone. Where I can be who I am without hurting anybody." Elsa explains since she doesn't want to hurt her sister like she did all those years ago.
"Actually, about that.." Anna was about to explain when they hear the doors open and Olaf comes running in.
"Wait, what's that?" Elsa asks as Olaf enters.
"Hi! I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs!" Olaf shouts to her.
"Olaf?" Elsa asks surprised to see he's alive.
"You built me. Remember that?" Olaf asks.
"And you're alive?" Elsa questions not knowing she could bring snow to life like that.
"I think so." Olaf answers.
"He's just like the one we built as kids." Anna says and kneels down to Olaf. "We were once so close. We could be like that again." She tells Elsa.
Elsa would love to get close to Anna again, but then she remembers why she started shutting herself off from her when she hurt Anna.
"No. We can't." Elsa tells her and starts walking away. "Goodbye, Anna."
"Elsa, wait." Anna begs and follows after Elsa.
"No, I'm just trying to protect you." Elsa tells her.
"You don't have to protect me. I'm not afraid." Anna informs Elsa and climbs the stairs after her.

Outside, Hiccup and Heather were explaining where they came from and how they met to Kristoff who's wrapping his head around all the information.
"So, you come from a place where killing dragons is a privilege but you ran off with your friend dragon?" Kristoff summons up Hiccup's story.
"Basically." Hiccup confirms.
"And your home was attacked and you were able to escape, and met him and ran off together?" Kristoff asks Heather.
"There was a bit more in between, but I guess that summons up my past few years." Heather replies.
"And you lost your foot killing a queen dragon." Kristoff says referring to his peg leg.
"You've got it." Hiccup says.
"Hey, guys. What's that?" Heather asks looking up to a balcony and they see it looks like there's a snowstorm going on inside the castle.
Hiccup and Heather runs inside the castle and start running up the staircase when Hiccup once again slips down the steps.
"Keep going! See what's happening." Hiccup says to Heather and she keeps climbing.
Hiccup just gets back on his feet as Kristoff comes in and helps Hiccup climb the steps slower this time.
Heather makes it to where they saw the storm and balcony and sees the storm while Elsa and Anna are in the center when Elsa suddenly absorbs it while singing.
"I can't!" Elsa sings when the storm she absorbed gets blasted back off and hits Anna before continuing and strikes Heather. She then drops to her knees from the pain coming from her chest, not understanding what's wrong. But deep down, she knows somethings wrong with her. Something inside of her feels too cold.
Hiccup and Kristoff just make it with Olaf not too far behind and see Heather and Anna in pain.
"Heather!" Hiccup shoots and runs to her the best he can without falling.
"Anna!" Kristoff and Olaf go to check on her. "Are you Okay?" Kristoff asks Anna helping her stand.
"I'm okay." Anna promises.
"Hey, Heather, you good?" Hiccup asks as Heather stands back up.
"Yeah, yeah, don't worry so much." Heather says as she regains her strength and joins the others.
"Who's this?" Elsa asks regarding Kristoff. "Wait, it doesn't matter. Just...you have to go." She tells them.
"No, I know we can figure this out together." Anna promises Elsa.
"How? What power do you have to stop this winter? To stop me?" Elsa questions as the ice in the castle begins to crack and give a red glow to it all.
"I think it's time to leave." Heather states believing they've officially overstayed their welcome.
"Yeah, I agree." Kristoff says.
"No, I'm not leaving without you, Elsa." Anna informs them all.
"Yes, you are." Elsa says and hits the ground to form a giant snowman.
"Oh boy." Hiccup comments on the size of the guy.
-
The big snowman grabbed all of them and brought them back to the doors and opens them.
"Stop! Put us down!" Anna tells the snowman.
"Go away." The snowman says and drops them down the steps where they see Sven has licked the stairway and his tongue is stuck.
"Heads up!" Olaf shouts as they stand up and he gets thrown into the snow covered rock and it's just his head. "Watch out for my butt!" He warns them as the rest of him comes crashing down with him.
"It is not nice to throw people!" Anna says and grabs a bunch of snow and makes a snowball.
"Whoa, Anna. Relax." Heather says and grabs her before she could throw it. "Just calm down and let the living snowman be." She asks of her.
"Okay, I'm okay." Anna says and calms down.
"Great." Kristoff says as they turn away and Anna throws it.
"Seriously?" Hiccup asks as it hits the snowman and he gets angry and spikes appear from his knees, back, and feet.
"Oh. Look, see? Now, you made him mad." Kristoff says.
"I'll distract him. You guys go." Olaf says and they all run off. That would also include his body as his head falls into the snow. "This just hit a whole lot harder." He admits.
The group keep running and slide down a steep part of the hill and the snowman leaps down and keeps chasing after them.
They run through a forest with him right behind them when Heather gets an idea and pulls out her axe and cuts a part of a tree and it springs up and smacks him in the face.
"That was great!" Kristoff tells her as they continue to run.
"You got him!" Anna cheers when they come up across a cliff side and they look down and can't see through a cloud layer.
"It's a 100ft drop." Anna guesses, looking down.
"I'd say more like 200." Hiccup corrects her.
Kristoff quickly ties a rope around all of them and digs his axe into the snow.
"What's that for?" Anna asks.
"I'm digging a snow anchor." Kristoff informs her.
"Okay. What if we fall?" Anna asks.
Heather takes a look below and looks at the ground in front of her and makes an assumption. "There's gotta be somewhat around 20 feet of fresh powder down there." She guesses.
"She's right, it'll be like landing on a pillow." Kristoff tells them when they hear the snowman approaching.
"Times up." Hiccup says as he throws a tree at them and Anna leaps off the cliff.
"That's not good." Heather says as they all get pulled down with her.
As they fall, Kristoff keeps his hand on the other end of the rope and stops them from falling.
"That happened." Kristoff states.
Back on the cliff, Olaf exits the woods with some snow on him that doesn't belong to him.
"I'm really out of shape." Olaf says as he fixes himself back to normal. "There we go."
As he's talking to himself, the big snowman starts coming out of the woods.
"Hey Anna! Hiccup! Heather! Sven!" Olaf calls out for them. "Where did you guys go? We totally lost Marshmallow back there." He states as said Marshmallow keeps approaching from behind.
"Hey! We were just talking about you." Olaf says smiling nervously. "All good things, all good things." He assures the Marshmallow as the group is trying to get down.
Marshmallow starts approaching them and Olaf tries stopping him, but he gets thrown off the cliff.
"Olaf!" Anna cries out as the snowman passes them.
"Hang in there guys!" Olaf says as he falls.
They keep going down when they're suddenly getting pulled up back to the Marshmallow and Kristoff hits his head and gets knocked out.
They get brought up to Marshmallow's face as he's completely angry now.
"Dot come back!" Marshmallow warns them all.
"We won't." Heather assures him and uses her ax again to cut their rope and they fall.
As they hit the ground, it's just as they said soft. "Hey, you were right. Just like a pillow." Anna says when she hears Olaf gasping.
"I can't feel my leg! I can't feel my leg!" Olaf screams when Hiccup comes out from under the snow.
"That's my leg." Hiccup informs Olaf as Kristoff walks over to them with the rest of Olaf.
"Oh, thank you for grabbing my butt, Sven." Olaf says to him as they place his head back on. "Ah, that's much better." He states when they see Sven has made it.
"Hey, Sven! He found us. Who's my cute little reindeer?" Olaf asks as he hugs Sven's face.
"Don't talk to him like that." Kristoff tells Olaf.
"Wait, where's Heather?" Hiccup asks as he stands back up and sees Heather near a frozen river. He walks over to her wondering what she's doing when she gets up and turns to face Hiccup and he sees part of her raven black hair has turned snow white.
"What happened up there?" Hiccup asks her.
"Oh, what am I going to do?" They hear Anna start worrying and starts pacing. "She threw me out. I can't go back to Arendelle with the weather like this. And then there's your ice business." She keeps going on.
"Hey, don't worry about my business." Kristoff says when her hair goes like heathers. "Worry about your hair!"
"What? I just fell off a cliff. You should see your hair." Anna replies to him.
"No, yours is turning white like mine." Heather says and they look to see hers is the same way.
"It must be because she struck you." Kristoff guesses.
"Does it look bad?" Anna asks them.
Kristoff thinks for a second and answer.
"No." Kristoff says to her.
"You hesitated." Olaf informs him.
"No, I didn't." Kristoff defends. "Okay, you guys need help, Okay? Come on." He says and starts leading them somewhere.
"Where are we going?" Hiccup asks.
"To see my friends." Kristoff tells them.
"The love experts?" Anna asks.
"Yeah, and don't worry. They'll be able to fix this." Kristoff assures them.
"How do you know that?" Heather wonders.
"Because I've seen them do it before." Kristoff explains remembering when he saw them remove the ice from Anna's head years ago.
"I like to consider myself a love expert." Olaf tells them as they're walking.
"Yeah, I wouldn't go that far." Heather states since he's been alive for about a day or so, and couldn't be a love expert. Surprised he knows what that word even means.
