Frozen II (The Caleb Cut)

ACT 1

1 - Lullabies

The Royal Family

EXT. THE KINGDOM OF ARENDELLE - NIGHT (PAST)

ESTABLISHING. A developing nation, nestled at the mouth of a deep fjord.

INT. ARENDELLE PALACE, ELSA'S BEDROOM - NIGHT

Though set in a palace, the bedroom looks -- feels -- very much like our own.

Normal parents calling their normal children to bed, except for the...

PAN TO:

SNOWFLAKES

that fill the air -- there's a SNOW PLAYGROUND in the middle of the room. ELSA (8) and ANNA (5) are way past their bedtime.

Elsa waves her hand, and conjures up a new ICE FIGURINE to add into their world.

The parents -- also the King and Queen of Arendelle -- step through the doorframe and close the door behind them.

Agnarr draws a deep breath as the sisters look on in uncontrollable curiosity.

ZOOM IN ON:

THE SNOW PLAYGROUND

Agnarr fashions Elsa's ICE FIGURINES and playground to tell his story, SINGING an old Arendellian song. The ice figurines start to move on their own.

Agnarr's Arendellian Warning

"There Once Was A King" (New)

The RUNEARD FIGURINE leads a group of other figurines to a new area, which bursts into colorful autumn hues. A RIVER cuts through the forest while smaller figurines call Runeard over to it.

Runeard orchestrates and finishes the building of a giant DAM on the river. A celebration starts - but not for long.

The once-vibrant playground DARKENS as River tendrils SNATCHES up people. Snow fell like ASH and looming GIANTS wreck havoc. A whirlwind of MIST covers the land from view, trapping it in a DOME of cloud.

A small figurine pours out of the blizzard and floats down a shallow river into a familiar fjord. The visibly traumatized BOY washes up on some docks, picked up by soldiers who recognize him.

The boy looked out from the docks, waiting, as an elder passes him an orb and scepter. He hesitates to take them.

DISSOLVE TO:

AGNARR

looks sadly upon the scene, and then to his children.

Anna looks at her father in scrunched skepticism: fairy tales should have happy endings! Elsa looked down at her own hands, her own magic - which Agnarr notices, and takes her hand into his.

Anna, cross-armed, is not buying it. Iduna smiles and wraps her naive child in her arms. But Elsa leans in.

Elsa reaches out to hug Agnarr... which he wearily reciprocates. This is the tragic reality of this family.

Parents Find The Map

KNOCK KNOCK A younger KAI, the loyal overseer and chief assistant, appears in the doorframe without permission. Agnarr glares at Kai -- he's having a moment here. But he softens when he notices an urgency. Kai holds up a large parchment: the AHTOHALLAN MAP.

The monarchs turn to each other. Their glances exchange doubt... calculation... then mutual agreement. Agnarr gets up to follow Kai, shuffling a worried Elsa over to Iduna, and he closes the door behind him.

The room was bathed in darkness once again.

Anna does a little jig before throwing herself on her sister. They giggle, but then look to their mother, still waiting for an answer.

Anna, unsatisfied, huffs and spreads herself wide on the bed.

Elsa thumped backwards on the bed too, but noticeably very unsettled. Iduna looked at both of them, then reclined on the backboards of the bed, pulling her children upright and onto herself. Iduna SINGS her own lullaby.

Iduna's Cryptic Lullaby

"All is Found" (Unchanged)

Throughout the lullaby, Anna easily dozes off from exhaustion. Iduna picks her up and tucks her in her own bed, closing her drooling mouth. She comes back to pick up and cradle Elsa, then looks out of the window.

EXT. THE KINGDOM OF ARENDELLE - NIGHT

We sweep up across the fjord... then pan up to the Northern Lights filling the sky... TITLE CARD: "FROZEN II"

DISSOLVE TO:

EXT. THE KINGDOM OF ARENDELLE - DAY (PRESENT)

Autumn maple leaves flutter across our view as we travel down the fjord, across the water, and we see: THE KINGDOM OF ARENDELLE growing larger as we approach it. It has expanded and grown since the past; notably, its walls are now adorned with snowflake decorations. Fleets of trading ships fill its docks.

2 - I Wants

Elsa's Worries

EXT. ARENDELLE PALACE, HALL BALCONY - DAY

Elsa, now 24, stands on a balcony of the palace, looking northwards up the fjord. Seemingly recalling the lullaby. She holds out a large parchment, trying to make sense of it all... until she hears:

Elsa bursts a few ice shards across the balustrade in surprise.

They both look out towards the FJORD SHORELINE which was receding along the fjord -- docks towered too high, while fishermen stood in shallow waters. Back on the HALL BALCONY the Queen ushered her chief assistant off hastily.

A concerned Kai walks off. Elsa turns her attention back to the parchment in her hands: it is the same AHTOHALLAN MAP from previously. Except, we see additional HANDWRITING on it too.

Elsa shuts her eyes.

She looks up to the sky.

Anna and Olaf and Arendelle

EXT. ARENDELLE PLAZA - DAY

The square is busy with people decorating and stringing banners. A large STATUE OF KING RUNEARD marks the center. Anna, now 21, walks a group of officials through the plaza and projects her vision through wild hand gestures.

The officials disperse. OLAF, a sentient jolly snowman, is sunbathing on a picnic cloth on a patch of grass nearby.

"Some Things Never Change" (Rewritten)

They walk down a road and through a house frame while people are pulling it up. Olaf's head gets caught on it, but recovers, and Anna leads him off by the hand.

They quickly walk past a painter scolding a man who just chopped down his tree.

Olaf skips on a mossy stone wall, when it slips. He falls on a handcar, which runs down the track. Anna runs to pull a lever, causing the handcar to hit a wall and Olaf flying into her arms.

Kristoff's Plans

EXT. ARENDELLE MARKETPLACE - DAY

The marketplace is stocked with all kinds of bright-coloured exotic fruit, while stalls are lined with autumnal Arendelle pennons. KRISTOFF and SVEN, a man with his best-friend, dog-like reindeer with a love for carrots, stroll down the street.

Kristoff opens a RING BOX and shows off a PROPOSAL RING to Sven on bended knee... while onlookers look away. Sven nods in glee.

EXT. ARENDELLE PLAZA, OAKEN'S STALL - DAY

Sven pushes Kristoff to OAKEN'S pedicure stall. They file his nails and massage his shoulders.

The pair go around town to find nice clothes for Kristoff.

EXT. ARENDELLE SHOP - DAY

The sun starts to set as they step out of the shop, and Kristoff holds out his POEM BOOK -- which he's hoping to woo Anna with.

They bump into Anna and Olaf in the square, and embrace excitedly.

Elsa's Resolve

EXT. ARENDELLE PALACE, ELSA'S BEDROOM, BALCONY - DAY

Elsa is still bothered, expecting something to arrive.

FROM HER BALCONY

she looks over her prosperous kingdom. And then at the gang laughing with each other in the plaza.

She resolves a determined face and runs down as quick as possible.

Final Festival Preparations

EXT. ARENDELLE BALCONIES - DAY

Arendellians string the pennons along their houses. Anna accidentally holds up someone's clothesline and underwear, abashed.

EXT. ARENDELLE DOCKS - DAY

Fishermen transport live fish from a basket, bucket-brigade style, but Olaf tosses the fish he gets back into the sea.

EXT. ARENDELLE PLAZA - DAY

Anna and Elsa meet up excitedly in the middle of the plaza. The whole nation joins in the final preparations!

Anna and Kristoff spread out a table cloth, while Oaken plumps down a huge pumpkin onto it.

On the long feast table, Arendellians of all ages lay out a stunning display of dishes and fruits.

AROUND THE STATUE OF KING RUNEARD

The sisters call the people to gather round.

An excited Anna bounces uncontrollably as Elsa sends a ice bolt into the air,

AGAINST THE FLAG OF ARENDELLE

held by the STATUE OF KING RUNEARD. The ice bolt explodes into bright, beautiful fireworks!

The Autumn Festival

EXT. ARENDELLE STREETS - NIGHT

Anna passes a dish with one sole carrot to Olaf, who promptly takes the carrot before Sven -- but give him his nose instead!

Children line up to whisper requests to Elsa -- who makes toys out of ice for them!

Everyone joins in a massive line dance, just having a great time.

EXT. ARENDELLE PLAZA - EVENING

As a TIMELAPSE is set against a CLOCK TOWER, night falls and everyone helps to clean up the feast.

EXT. ARENDELLE PALACE, GATES - NIGHT

The GANG walk home and approach the gates, exhausted from a long day.

Anna affirms to each member one-by-one as they walk past her into the gates.

She hugs it out with Elsa in a tight embrace.

Olaf rides in on Sven's head...

Kristoff notices the perfect atmosphere, the climax to a great day... he fumbles for his proposal ring...

But Kristoff is accidentally dragged away by Sven's antlers. He frantically aborts the mission and books it. Anna, oblivious(?) to all that, just basks in the moment.

Anna turns around and walks into the gates, which do not get shut behind her.

3 - Proposal

Kristoff's Rehearsal

INT. ARENDELLE PALACE, LOUNGE ROOM - NIGHT

A regal room with dimmed lanterns and paintings of established people hanging on the wall.

Kristoff is in full royal garb: hair, GLOVES and all. He's down on bended knee and holding out an open ring box, flashing his best, but awkward, toothy smile. We see it is actually Sven looking back at him, offering a consolatory smile, equally as goofy.

Sven perks up, and nudges the ring box.

The duo drop to their knees, both sniffing bloodhound-style. Kristoff dives under a cabinet and holds up the ring.

Kristoff falls back on a couch and sets the ring box on a table, burying his head in his hands.

Kristoff's Surprise Visit

Kristoff and Sven are caught off guard -- they scramble. Somehow Kristoff is caught on Sven's antlers and is launched up onto and caught upside-down on the chandelier. Anna and Olaf just turn the corner. The boys flail wildly -- then freeze in place, striking a casual pose.

Olaf’s head pops up. He’s holding his head up off his body to join the conversation.

Anna tilts her head in amusement.

They all laugh at the callback. Kristoff wheezes a bit too hard from the blood rush.

Anna looks to Kristoff... who relents his pride, and nods. Anna pulls herself onto Sven.

They both extend their hands. Anna launches herself to grab hold of and swing Kristoff. It dislodges him but tears his nice suit in the process. Anna lands feet first, catching a falling Kristoff in her arms. They tumble into a mess on the ground as the chandelier swings around.

They bask in the embrace. But then Kristoff realizes:

Kristoff's Proposal

Kristoff and Sven send frantic eye signals to each other, having a full-on conversation. Anna and Olaf watch curiously. They reach some conclusion, because Kristoff pulls Anna up to her feet and gets down on one knee himself.

He dares one last glance at his poem book -- no, it's too late for last minute revision -- and he takes a deep, shaky breath, and begins his POEM.

Kristoff tries to gulp down and it causes an involuntary gag reflex.

Olaf and Sven hide their faces in secondhand shame.

Kristoff SINGS. "Get This Right" (Unchanged Outtake)

Kristoff looks away for a moment, staring off into the distance. Anna pokes out and studies him.

He turns back, optimistic, and takes Anna by the hand and spins into her arms.

He whips out a top hat and pulls out a wilted bouquet of flowers. He laughs nervously, throws both aside, and inches away, contemplating to bail.

He turns back with melted chocolates from his pockets... that's not gonna work. He tosses away his stained gloves.

He straightens out his torn-up suit and sweeps up Anna in his arms -- but still woozy, pukes in the nearest vase.

EXT. ARENDELLE PALACE, PATIO - NIGHT

Kristoff pulls her out a door to a beautiful candlelight supper setting. Lanterns stream in all directions. Anna is impressed.

A candlestick drops onto the table. It catches fire. Kristoff throws it out of sight where it clearly bursts into flames.

Kristoff dips Anna. She giggles. Score!

INT. ARENDELLE PALACE, SNOW ROOM - NIGHT

Kristoff brings Anna to the top of a SNOW CASTLE that reaches the ceiling, kept cool by towers of ice blocks. Anna shivers but looks around, and Kristoff does a victory dance -- not seeing Anna sinking into the snow.

INT. ARENDELLE PALACE, COMMON ROOM - CONTINUOUS

Anna falls into a sofa chair, and was startled. There, Kristoff is on his side against the fireplace and pours out wine, which spill.

He swings his legs all around to fan them.

INT. ARENDELLE PALACE, THEATER - CONTINUOUS

Anna is pulled forward from her sofa chair into the front row seat of a mini-theater -- and Kristoff the sole performer on stage. Kristoff tosses aside his poem book. He pulls out a lute, but its strings snap upon first strum.

EXT. ARENDELLE PALACE, PATIO - NIGHT

Set before blurry candle lights, Kristoff gets down on one knee. Anna squeals. Kristoff checks every pocket but doesn't find the ring.

He picks himself up, not making eye contact, and walks away ashamed.

Kristoff's Sulking

EXT. ARENDELLE DOCKS - NIGHT

Kristoff walks off the docks and sinks underwater.

UNDERWATER

even the fish and eels are paired up together.

The water starts to freeze around Kristoff. But onces he sees a LARGE SWARM OF FISH in the shape of Anna, he breaks out of it.

Bubbles all around him hold reflections of Anna.

EXT. ENDLESS SEA - CONTINUOUS

Kristoff jumps out of the water and joins Anna on one of infinitely-stretching heart-shaped platforms across the ocean.

EXT. NIGHT SKY - NIGHT

Kristoff kneels on a huge star, but it tips over and he falls.

He drifts past a star and sees his REFLECTION: a rugged, dirty ice harvester.

EXT. ARENDELLE PALACE, PATIO - CONTINUOUS

Kristoff floats down and the magic fades away.

Kristoff walks away, defeated.

Anna's Proposal

Anna gets down on one knee and pulls out her own ring box, alongside Kristoff's one that he forgot.

Kristoff is dumbstruck.

They twirl under a spotlight. Anna puts on the ring on Kristoff, and then vice versa.

EXT. CHOCOLATE MOUNTAIN - DAY

They stand on gigantic chocolates that stack up to the sky.

EXT. SOME RIVER - DAY

Kristoff rows Anna down a romantic river in a boat with huge chocolates. She slides down them to meet him.

EXT. ARENDELLE PALACE, PATIO - NIGHT (CONTINUOUS)

The imagination fades back to reality. Yet they spin around and end up in an embrace. But somehow, Kristoff's clothes have been MENDED -- he looks like a real prince.

They kiss. Sven and Olaf peek and cheer on from a nearby window. Without warning, Anna jumps and runs off.

She stops. Turns back. Gives Kristoff the hardest full-on kiss. Runs off again.

Kristoff smiles, admiring his ring.

4 - Sleep

Elsa Worries With Anna

INT. ARENDELLE PALACE, ELSA'S BEDROOM - NIGHT

Elsa sits on her bedside, facing her balcony doors, in silent, deep scrutiny of the Ahtohallan Map. She wraps IDUNA's SCARF around herself.

She jumps. She accidentally fires a blast of ICE towards her balcony, shrouding part of her balustrade in a cloud. Still panting heavily, she tucks the map away in her bedside drawer, then cautiously walks towards it.

EXT. ARENDELLE PALACE, ELSA'S BEDROOM BALCONY - CONTINUOUS

WATER DROPLETS on the spiky ice formation reflect the full moon's light. She closely studies it, then touches it and pulls back her hand -- it's wet. Tips of of the structure break and fall off, amassing a pool of water on the floor. Elsa trembles worriedly, brows furrowed. Without warning, her main bedroom doors thudded loudly.

Elsa jumps in shock, and once again, fires another blast of ice which, this time, instead creates little snowmen creatures: Snowgies. She forgets her fear and laughs at Anna's funny voice, and at the little Snowgies scuttling towards the door to see Anna.

INT. ARENDELLE PALACE, ELSA'S BEDROOM - CONTINUOUS

Elsa hesitates -- and sighs, closing the balcony door behind her, hiding the melting ice on the balcony.

Anna bursts the bedroom door open wide -- it was never locked; not anymore.

Anna shows off her new ring. Elsa runs and embraces her, the sisters giggling uncontrollably like madmen.

They laugh some more, simmering in the joy, but Anna notices...

Elsa looks over her shoulder, towards the balcony doors.

Anna's Lullaby

Anna pulls Elsa's face to meet her own.

Anna calls Elsa by the bedside, then sings the lullaby. "All is Found (Reprise)"

Elsa slowly loosens up her tensions, and slowly drifts off. Anna mumbles the last line, also falling asleep before she finishes the lullaby.

BLACK FADE TO:

5 - Answer

Elsa Confronts the Voice

INT. ARENDELLE PALACE, ELSA'S BEDROOM - MUCH LATER

Elsa stirs awake and turns around in bed, trying to ignore the

Her eyes open wide this time and she jerks upright, looking around irritated. She shuts her ears with her pillow.

The pillow is pulled up. Elsa can't and won't sleep. She sits up, looks over at Anna. Elsa wraps her in Iduna's scarf, then hesitantly slips out.

INT. ARENDELLE PALACE, HALLWAYS - CONTINUOUS

Elsa looks longingly at Anna, then quietly shuts the door behind her.

Annoyed, Elsa SINGS to the air. "Into the Unknown" (Unchanged)

ELsa takes a walk, but the Voice keeps echoing.

She stands in front of two FAMILY PORTRAITS on the wall: the first of the sisters and the boys, and the second of the sisters with their parents.

Her hands start shaking. The magic wants to come out. She starts walking towards the balcony, towards the Voice, but stops herself.

Elsa Lets Go

EXT. ARENDELLE PALACE, HALL BALCONY - CONTINUOUS

Elsa succumbs and swings the balcony doors open wide. She sings to the fjord.

EXT. ARENDELLE COAST - NIGHT

Elsa bursts through a door in the coast walls. She walks to the coastline and notes the faded water level lines on the walls.

She looks at the Ahtohallan Map in her hand. And then in her reflection in the receded waters.

Her hands start shaking again; but this time she lets them loose. It causes beautiful ice spirals that push her towards the waters.

She follows them, and is engulfed by an icy mist.

EXT. ELSA'S DREAMWORLD - CONTINUOUS

Elsa steps into a black DREAMWORLD, and sees an Enchanted Forest coming to life around her in the form of NEON ICE PARTICLES.

A herd of reindeer run past her. A BOY is being chased by a GIRL, who is caught in the air by the River.

Elsa sends a bunch of ice bolts into the air.

The mist is all pulled towards Elsa, as they take the shape of: 1) A magical ICEBERG mass, and from it, a flowing RIVER that has tendrils for arms 2) A few magical horses –- the NOKKS -- running past... 3) ...which WRECK a SHIP from underneath in a DARK SEA 4) STONE GIANTS looming around 5) A FLOOD flowing down a gorge

EXT. ARENDELLE CLIFFS - CONTINUOUS

The dreamworld fades, revealing a high mountainside. One last bright ICE BOLT swims around Elsa. It flies away upstream of the fjord.

Elsa follows it to the edge of a cliff, using her ice to reach out further -- but it EVAPORATES into the air.

Elsa Wakes the Forest

With a final cry, she lets loose a huge surge of magic -- causing a billion ICE CRYSTALS to form in the sky, suspended in the air, all throughout Arendelle.

EXT. ARENDELLE PALACE, ELSA'S BEDROOM, BALCONY - NIGHT

The balcony doors open. Anna gazes around all the crystals and inhales shakily.

EXT. ARENDELLE CLIFFS - NIGHT

Elsa looks around, in wonder, but also in fear. Without warning, the crystals all fall onto the ground with a dirty, deafening, clinking tumult.

INT. ARENDELLIAN'S HOUSE, CHILD'S BEDROOM - NIGHT

A child is awoken by the noise. She covers her ears with a pillow, but the noise continues. She gets out of bed curiously.

EXT. ARENDELLE RESIDENTIAL STREETS - NIGHT

One-by-one, families all pour out of their homes and onto the streets. As the crystals shatter on the cobblestone, it releases a magical icy mist.

EXT. ARENDELLE CLIFFS - NIGHT

Elsa looks over into the kingdom: windows glowed as people awoke.

Elsa's hands start fidgeting. She involuntarily shoots an ice bolt into the waters. IN THE WATERS it causes a whirlpool to form and swell. ELSA fires again. And again. IN THE WATERS waves start to stir and collide. ON THE DOCKS we see the water level start to rise, even above where the faded water level mark used to be before. ELSA tries to control her hand. It has a mind of its own. She finally gets a grip and stops. She pants heavily. She glances down -- CHAOTIC WAVES beat against the cliff face, tickling her feet with mist spray. Lightning strikes, illuminating in the water: the vague shape of a horse made of water -- the mythical NOKK. OVER ARENDELLE a combination of swirling hail, mist, snow, crystals and water starts to form. ELSA starts running in.

Arendelle Evacuated

EXT. ARENDELLE PALACE COURTYARD - NIGHT

Anna and a stream of castle staff pour out onto the court in a frenzy.

TWO LARGE FOUNTAINS have their water pulled out from them, and the water evaporates into the air.

EXT. ARENDELLE WATERFALL - NIGHT

The waterfall becomes stronger -- a great WIND turns it all into mist.

INT. SVEN'S SHED - NIGHT

A large wind, shaped by autumn tree leaves, blows the doors wide open. The mist pushes Sven's bum outside.

EXT. ARENDELLE PLAZA - NIGHT

Elsa arrives, seeking shelter in an alley behind a wall. She sees trees falling and leaves flying everywhere. The strong winds push families down the road.

A FAMILY is running across the tumultuous plaza. THE STATUE OF KING RUNEARD is TIPPED over by the BLIZZARD, and starts to TILT precariously over the family. THE FATHER looks up. Emotions flash across his face, but he PULLS his family under him and SHIELDS them with his body. He SHUTS his eyes, ready for the worst, until, in the nick of time-- THE STATUE is FROZEN, stuck in ice. ELSA stands afar off in the background, tired. THE FATHER lets out a huge cry of relief. He hears a CRACKING sound. He looks up -- the statue tips again as the ice melts and cracks. ELSA frantically shoots out ice bolts, re-freezing bits of the statue in place. But she grows WEAKER, and eventually no more ice comes out from her hands. There's NOTHING she can do. The statue starts to tip again. The family try to run but the strong winds IMMOBILIZE them.

The statue falls. ANNA appears and PUSHES the family out of the way to safety. But now she's under the statue. ELSA seeing this, regains her powers in the last second, completely ENCASING the statue in ice, so strongly that it tips over BACKWARDS, falls and shatters with a loud CRASH. They share a panicked look.

Anna is perplexed, but she moves.

EXT. RESIDENTIAL STREETS - NIGHT

It's chaotic: people fill the streets, tripping over as they are shoved out by the wind.

INTERCUT: THE GANG RESCUES ARENDELLIANS

Olaf runs through each house, finding a SCARED BOY hiding himself. He takes his hand. Kristoff helps load many young children onto Sven's sleigh, now modified into a wagon. Elsa tries to use her ice to shield the people from falling debris. Anna consoles worried citizens.

OLAF is flurrying, fading away. He starts to melt, unable to stand by himself. Even the frantic music quietens as Anna freezes, processing its implications... horror washing across her face...

ANNA wraps him up in Iduna's scarf and loads him and the Scared Boy onto Sven.

EXT. ARENDELLE WALLS GATES - NIGHT

Anna helps the last elderly citizen up and out of the main gates of Arendelle. She dares one last look behind her shoulder: the flag of Arendelle held by the statue in the Plaza is torn by the wind and flies off. A cloud of mist rises up from the plaza, the center of Arendelle, and then spreads out to form a large DOME of cloud around Arendelle. The winds cause the gates to SLAM shut behind her.

6 - Recovery

Arendelle Recovers

EXT. ARENDELLE CLIFFS, CLEARING - NIGHT

In a wide, flat clearing, a population of about 2000 Arendellians gather in clusters around newly-lit campfires. The cliff side is dotted with rudimentary huts and simple stockpiles. Kristoff attends to different citizens, handing out clothes; but he's especially visibly disheartened.

Olaf is punctured with icicles by restless toddlers, looking like a voodoo doll.

ANNA AND ELSA conclude a gathering with elders and advisors and walk away to a private space.

Elsa pulls from under her cloak: the Ahtohallan Map. She hands it to Anna.

This hits Anna. They share a silent moment.

ARENDELLE is covered in a thick, swirling cloud. Lightning flashes glow around dome, evidence of the roaring chaos within. ANNA is completely crestfallen.

Elsa twitches uncomfortably.

Trolls Arrive

The ground starts rumbling. Everyone panics and takes cover.

A barrage of rocks roll down the cliff hill, quaking the earth and causing people to fall over. They congregate at the feet of Kristoff. They unroll and reveal bright, smiling faces. These are the TROLLS. A TROLL PRIEST amd BULDA steps forward from among them.

Kristoff is engulfed by a swarm of rocks. One last troll makes his slow entrance, parting the crowd as he unrolls and approaches arthritically. GRAND PABBIE nods respectfully to the sisters.

Grand Pabbie pulls out a glowing blue energy from Elsa's head. As he speaks, he conducts the Northern Lights to show a silhouette of two shrouded peoples clashing.

The people transform into a dam, with its final brick being laid upon it.

The dam turns into a raging flood rushing down a gorge.

These imageries crystalize into snowflakes, dissipating in the air.

The Gang Prepare to Leave

Elsa purses her lips. Kristoff and Sven puff.

FLASH CUT TO:

FLASHBACK: Young Anna is struck by Elsa’s powers.

Young Anna falls unconscious. Young Elsa races to her.

FLASH CUT TO:

THE PRESENT: Elsa's face sinks in pain.

Elsa ruminates deeply... a twinge of guilt flashes across her face... then nods agreeingly in defeat.

They get busy packing, and Elsa turns around to address the whole nation listening and watching in silence.

Kai is nonplussed, but then blushes at the attention.

Elsa goes off to engage with Kai and the council of elders and advisors. Anna follows too, but her hand gets pulled back. Grand Pabbie hunches over, motioning her to come close.

Olaf's Travel Montage

EXT. WILDERNESS - DAWN (MONTAGE: TRAVELLING)

The gang travel across different sceneries as the sun rises and as they make their journey up North: a narrow path against the cliff, a large plains, a bridge over a chasm, a dry wilderness. Throughout the journey, Olaf is chirpy and seemingly oblivious. The other three share worried faces, but are mostly keeping to themselves. Kristoff is nose buried into his poem book.

Kristoff Wooing #1

EXT. GRASS FIELD - DAY

The sun shines bright on a pleasant grass field. Most of the morning has passed, and Sven has slowed down his pace. Anna turns around to find Elsa and Olaf both sleeping from exhaustion.

Kristoff jerks upwards and snaps his poem book shut suspiciously.

Sven turns around, nodding his head, but secretly grimacing to brace what comes next.

From behind the sleigh, Elsa sleepily opens an eye.

Kristoff holds up his ring finger.

Kristoff can't help smiling, but still has furrowed brows and can't bring himself to meet eye contact.

Elsa and the Wall of Mist

Elsa is wide awake now, and taking opportunity of the silence, yawns and feigns waking up.

Kristoff motions Sven to stop. The gang comes down from the wagon and follows Elsa over a small hill.

EXT. NORTHULDRA, WALL OF MIST - CONTINUOUS

At the top, we see a huge cloud of mist, spanning from left to right, top to bottom, as far as the eye can see. Without warning, Elsa takes off in large strides towards the mist.

Elsa runs into the mist, but gets rebounded as if colliding with a magical force-field. She crumples onto the ground a few feet away.

Anna sprints towards Elsa to picks her up. Elsa pushes away her hand -- she's fine, just dizzy. Olaf, seeing this, excitedly runs at the wall and gets rebounded. He repeats this -- for fun.

Seeing Elsa's demeanor just breaks Anna's heart. She gives a cheerful smile.

Anna grasps Elsa's hand and pulls her upright, holds it tight.

Elsa weakly nods. They walk together towards the mist... and this time, the wall of mist parts in two.

Behind them, Olaf awkwardly reaches for Kristoff's hand. Kristoff awkwardly takes it. They all step in and the mist closes up behind them.

8 - Forest

Trapped Inside

INT. NORTHULDRA, WALL OF MIST, INSIDE - CONTINUOUS

The dense cloud prevents vision further than an arm's reach. The gang hold onto each other and blindly press on forward.

They all look at each other nervously. Without warning, a great gust of mist pushes them forward.

The Enchanted Forest

EXT. NORTHULDRA FOREST, FOREST EDGE - CONTINUOUS

The gang are roughly ejected from the cloud onto autumnal foliage.

Kristoff tries to barge his way back into the mist: he gets rebounded away. Olaf childishly continues his game. Elsa shoots ice spikes into the mist. They pierce the mist... and then are reflected back. Everyone dives out of the way.

As they turn way from the mist, they slowly marvel at the Forest before them: a forest like no other, enchanted with strange hybrids of otherworldly creatures. The trees seem to sway by their own, while the environment itself seemed to be alive in more ways than one.

Kristoff nods dumbly. Everyone is just in awe -- they stagger and drunkedly explore the forest.

The Dam Mess

EXT. NORTHULDRA FOREST, CLIFF CLEARING - DAY

Anna, Kristoff and Sven wander out of the forest line, coming to a small clearing at the edge of a cliff. They get a magnificent view of a steep cliff face that runs in a miles-wide arc around a bowl. In the middle of that arc, towers a mighty brick dam that plugs a U-shaped hole in the cliff face. Below it, a parched riverbed snakes downwards and through the wall of mist. Anna and Kristoff gawk wide-jawed at the scenery, more so at the dam.

Kristoff whips out his lute from a worried Sven.

Without warning, Anna takes off into the forest, cutting Kristoff's song short. Kristoff sulks, unsure of what to do.

Kristoff's eyes lighten up, a little bit. He rubs his engagement ring, squares his shoulders, and mounts Sven to pursue Anna.

9 - Olaf

Olaf Trusts In Maturity

EXT. NORTHULDRA FOREST, FOGGY CLEARING - DAY

CLOSE ON: OLAF.

Olaf turns around, revealing: his surroundings are gray and foggy, like cobwebs in a spider's den. He's LOST.

He hears a distant STAMPEDE approaching, but he turns around blindly, unsure of its direction. It gets louder. He gets nervous. From THE STAMPEDE'S POV, as we veer we see Olaf straight ahead, faced away. We speed up furiously towards him. OLAF spins around just in time to see a brownish-grey streak running through him, knocking him into pieces like bowling pins. The Stampede's cacophany of laughter eerily fades away, leaving Olaf face-down in a hole the ground. FROM THE HOLE Olaf's face covers the hole. A pause.

OLAF picks the pieces of himself back up. He wrestles with some thought, then pushes it away with a skip, a smile and a song. "When I'm Older" (Shortened)

A distant, deep and rumbling roar echoes throughout the Forest. The ground shakes a little, causing Olaf to lose footing and his cheeriness.

Then comes a faint whistling sound, growing louder, and a shadow grows bigger under Olaf's feet.

Olaf obliviously walks out of the shadow just in time for a giant boulder to land right behind him with a BOOM. It sends debris flying into the air. Olaf freezes in shock, and slowly turns around. That's a giant boulder that nearly killed him.

He turns back around, with the forgetful glee of a child. Another boulder rolls past downhill, narrowly missing him.

EXT. NORTHULDRA FOREST, POND - DAY

Olaf walks to the pond's edge and admires his "muscles" and himself in the reflection... which darkly morphs into the shape of an angry Nokk.

The Nokk lunges out of the water at Olaf, startling him to start running for his life.

EXT. NORTHULDRA FOREST, FOGGY CLEARING

FROM OLAF's THIRD PERSON REVERSE POV it's all chaos: he's all arms flailing. The Nokk is hunting him down with a ghastly cry, sending punches of water. The Stampede's streak causes leaves to swirl about in the air. Large rocks fall all around him.

Olaf is launched by a rock and falls in pieces into a hole. ZOOMING OUT FROM THE HOLE reveals that it is in fact, a GIANT FOOTPRINT. Olaf's head pops up cheerily, and his body parts slowly reconstruct themselves.

Olaf pulls himself up from the footprint hole.

The chaos begins to resume all around Olaf: water geysers, leaves thrown around, meteor boulders.

Olaf flees, being chased by the magical creatures.

10 - Encounter

The Ambush

EXT. NORTHULDRA FOREST, DENSE FOREST - DAY

Elsa walks into the middle of a CLEARING amidst a DENSE FOREST, with a waning focus of the Mysterious Voice.

Olaf leaps out from a branch and into Elsa's arms, shivering from fright. It breaks Elsa's concentration and she loses the voice.

Anna pushes through the bushes, Kristoff and Sven hot behind her. She breathes a sigh of relief.

A RUSTLING SOUND rattles behind them. And then above. And then all around.

The gang stand back-to-back, ready for a confrontation. TWO GROUPS OF ARMED PEOPLE burst through the shrubbery on opposite sides, sandwiching the gang in the clearing: about 15 UNIFORMED SOLDIERS and 25 AGRARIAN WARRIORS. THE UNIFORMED SOLDIERS wielded SWORDS AND SPEARS, besides their standard-bearer -- while THE AGRARIAN WARRIORS perched around in the trees, wearing ANIMAL SKINS and using simple PITCHFORKS. Both groups were ready to shed blood. ELSA starts panicking. She reflexively freezes the entire floor around her, knocking everyone over and pushing them backwards to the edge of the clearing. Silence. Shock. Fear. Disbelief. Awe. Mixed emotions from both sides. If they hadn't fallen over, it was because their lower legs were completely encased in ice. The UNIFORMED LEADER, middle-aged and handsome, was particularly angry and on edge.

Elsa sorrily unfreezes the floor -- even though the ice was weak enough for the Uniformed Leader to hack the ice off himself.

An animated, talking snowman. The niformed soldiers fall back to formation, trembling this time. The agrarian warriors follow suit.

Too late for that. Some of them were backing out, pushing others in front.

Identifying the Arendellians

Anna notices the ARENDELLIAN INSIGNIA on the standard banner and the uniforms of the UNIFORMED SOLDIERS -- they were ARENDELLIAN SOLDIERS.

Both sides stopped in their tracks.

Both sides murmur. A ruler of Arendelle with magic powers? The AGRARIAN LEADER, a middle-aged woman with fierce but perceptive eyes, steps up.

Elsa is hooked. She stares at YELENA, gears grinding. Anna steps towards the other side, towards the ARENDELLIAN DEPUTY, who was rigid yet curious.

MATTIAS is taken aback -- everyone was.

The Arendellian Leader and Deputy turn to each other, flummoxed -- but then the realization and implications washes across both their faces.

The sisters run to hug their grandfather, RUNEARD. He flinched at Elsa's icy touch -- that, and at being called "grandfather" at 40-years-old by these two random women.

Elsa shifts uncomfortably; and Anna was oblivious.

Runeard huffs in pride.

This thrills his ears... but...

Runeard loses it with every word. He turns to Yelena, sword drawn, soldiers behind him at the ready.

Everyone draws their own weapons again -- the Arendellians rallied by Runeard's speech, and the Northuldra in survival self-defence.

National Justice

A nasty brawl would have taken place, if not for Anna throwing herself in between the two clans, hands outstretched, squeezing her eyes hoping that it'd work. Elsa and the gang stepped in and supported her as both sides came to a halt again.

Elsa nods... hesitantly. But the people are still at each other's throats. An idea slowly forms in Elsa's mind. She squares her shoulders.

Both sides look at her as if she's mad.

The soldiers tense and murmur among themselves.

Aggression rises again. But with every accusation, the soldiers get more and more agitated. The situation must be completely defused, now.

Making a Truce

Silence fell. It was a solemn revelation for both sides, because they knew full well what that meant.

Runeard sheathes back his sword, but Elsa realizes that she has to separate the clans to end this for good.

This seemed to be agreeable with all parties, but Anna.

Yelena smiles. Runeard steps back warily, still unsatisfied.

The Arendellians start to march off, and the Northuldra follow suit, but both sides still eye each other.

PAN TO:

OFF IN THE BACKGROUND

Kristoff and Olaf introduce themselves to some Arendellian soldiers.

One soldier cautiously takes Olaf's hand, but it falls off.

As Kristoff tries to fix Olaf's hand back, he elbows Olaf's head clean off. It falls to the ground with a thump. And a shriek.

The soldiers flee into the bushes, leaving the boys alone.

PAN BACK TO:

THE SISTERS

Anna relents. Sighs. Boys.

DISSOLVE TO:

11 - Campsite Truce

Elsa's Secrets

I thought it more fit for the Northuldra to have 80ish villagers, and 25ish Arendellian soldiers.

EXT. NORTHULDRA FOREST - DAY

They separate into their respective campsites that are along the same bank of the river: the Arendellians' camp is up against the dam, and the Northuldra's camp about 350 meters upstream.

EXT. NORTHULDRA CAMPSITE, TEEPEES - DAY

The NORTHULDRA CAMPSITE is AGRARIAN, marked with leather teepees and wooden fences. Otherworldly Forest animals like cow-zebra hybrids are being milked by adults, accompanied by wolf-cat pets. Olaf has a teepee as a backdrop, and is performing a one-man reenaction of the events of Frozen I.

CUT TO:

The NORTHULDRA CHILDREN (who we learn to be Olaf's audience) are only half-attentive, picking at Olaf’s magical body, while one of them just stuffed Olaf’s leg down another child’s mouth.

EXT. NORTHULDRA CAMPSITE, CAMPFIRE - DAY

Elsa and Yelena are talking while cooking fish around a campfire, and Yelena suddenly puts down her knitting needles.

Elsa shifts uncomfortably. Yelena senses this, and acted casual, resuming her knitting.

Anna's Naviete

EXT. NORTHULDRA CAMPSITE, TEEPEES - DAY

Olaf continues his reenactment.

CUT TO:

The Northuldra children are mortified, open-jawed in whiplash response.

CUT TO:

CUT TO:

EXT. ARENDELLIAN CAMPSITE - DAY

The ARENDELLIAN CAMPSITE is built like a fortress: it had wooden-spiked walls and outpost towers on the perimeter all around. Soldiers patrol their stations and chase out wild animals. There is no trace of Forest life. Runeard and Anna are also roasting food over a campfire, some unknown meat, and Runeard also suddenly pauses.

Anna shrugs sheepishly.

Runeard raises a curious eyebrow. Anna catches on.

Anna points to Kristoff in the distance by the campsite outskirts, who is deep in conversation with Mattias.

Runeard's eyes flicker to her ring finger. He is properly impressed.

Runeard takes Anna's hand, which surprises her at first. But Runeard just beams a warm, parental smile.

Anna nods attentively.

Anna tenses. She quickly studies her grandfather: Runeard is suddenly more wrinkled, more tired, more fierce.

Surprisingly... Runeard was calm? He studies Anna this time, as a shepherd does to a weak, crippled lamb.

Anna pulls her whole body back in disgust. She's forming words, but holding her tongue.

Mattias' Caution

EXT. NORTHULDRA CAMPSITE, TEEPEES - DAY

Olaf continues his reenactment, morphing his body to look like each character, besides also somehow wearing their costume from Frozen 1.

CUT TO:

CUT TO:

CUT TO:

CUT TO:

CUT TO:

Suddenly, Olaf gets pelted by a barrage of sticks and rocks: the Northuldra children were showing their distaste of Hans.

CUT TO:

The Northuldra children have lost all attention, now even worse: one kid starts crying; another kid is sticking Olaf's arm in another kid's nose, and such.

EXT. ARENDELLIAN CAMPSITE, OUTSKIRTS - DAY

Many wild reindeer hide in the fringes of the trees, just out of sight of the soldiers. Sven is having a field day just frolicking through the trees. Kristoff and Matthias are in deep focus as well.

Mattias squirmed. Then weighed his options.

Mattias walks up to a WILD REINDEER hidden in some bushes. It looks just like Sven... but its eyes are sharper. Alert. Suspicious.

The reindeer let out an annoyed growl.

Mattias tosses a carrot, which the wild reindeer snaps up and then runs away with. Mattias turns back around, shrugging amusedly.

Kristoff huffs in pleasant surprise, though Mattias obviously has a long way to go. Kristoff leans against a tree, fully relaxed now.

Mattias narrows his eyes.

Kristoff winces and gives a sheepish shrug. Mattias paces around, as if talking to himself.

Mattias sits on a large rock, and slouches exhaustedly.

The Battle of Northuldra

EXT. NORTHULDRA CAMPSITE, CAMPFIRE - DAY

Elsa and Yelena are halfway through their meal. The sky has lost some of its brightness.

Yelena snorted, rolling her eyes... then stops chewing the fish, and swallows it whole. She furrows.

EXT. ARENDELLIAN CAMPSITE - DAY

Anna and Runeard put aside their dinner. The sky has gotten darker and the campfire now casts a hot glow on Runeard's features.

A lone tear breaks free from Runeard’s eye. He wipes it clean.

Anna's shoulders drop her defenses, but she's still trying to figure out this man.

Destroying the Dam

EXT. NORTHULDRA CAMPSITE, CAMPFIRE - DAY

Elsa and Yelena continue, but Elsa puts aside her fish and her hunger, leaning in instead.

Elsa softens, and nods in familiar understanding.

Elsa tilts her head. Yelena waves her off.

EXT. ARENDELLIAN CAMPSITE - DAY

Runeard shoots upright indignantly.

Runeard looks up at the sky longingly.

Controlling Magic

EXT. NORTHULDRA CAMPSITE, CAMPFIRE - DUSK

Yelena pokes at a campfire that's on its final breaths with the back of her needle.

Yelena demonstrates by holding out a cup, and a tendril of water rises up out of the river and fills her cup before retreating back. Elsa is awed.

Yelena waves away the thought.

Yelena walks off in annoyance and starts singing to herself:

Yelena quickly seizes Elsa's hand.

A quake interrupts them, knocking both of them off their feet, rumbling the leaves of the forest. Yelena freezes.

12 - Giants

Running to the Giants

EXT. NORTHULDRA FOREST - DUSK

A blurry autumn sun prepares to set, ridging the cotton candy sky. But large shapes cast silhouettes against the sky and shadows against the ground.

QUICK CUTS BETWEEN BOTH CAMPSITES:

The ground trembles irregularly in varying magnitudes. Both groups of locals are still and silent in fear.

Both campsites hurriedly extinguish their fires, cover their smoke, then scramble to hide. Kristoff accidentally knocks over some shields. The clinking echoes throughout the silent Forest.

AERIAL SHOT: Two towering stone giants roar with a deep, ancient growl. The roar ripples across the tree canopy, sending bird-hybrids flying. They swing towards the sound of the shields, snapping trees like toothpicks in the process, and approach the Arendellian campsite and the dam.

EXT. NORTHULDRA CAMPSITE, CAMPFIRE - DUSK

Elsa's eyes widen, and she stops in her tracks.

Elsa quizzically looks at the giants. She sets down the supplies she was carrying, then strides out of the campsite towards the giants.

EXT. ARENDELLIAN CAMPSITE - DUSK

Anna shoos a wild reindeer into the cover of the forest; suddenly she instinctively dives behind a tree. Just in time -- from a hole in the canopy, one of the giants nearly spots her. She exhales in relief. Just then, a something whistles through the sky. BOOM! A large boulder crashes very close, sending enough earth flying for Anna to shield her face.

ELSA is halfway across when she sees Anna and the dam in danger. Elsa starts firing all she has at the giants. The stone giants are... tickled? But it was enough to draw their attention, so they swing around towards the Northuldra camp instead. ANNA sees this, and starts running towards her sister.

Anna couldn't hear him. She was already gone. MATTIAS huffed, impressed at the sisters. He turns back around.

The two mens' eyes dart wildly as they hurriedly thought up something to say. Mattias' eyes brightened first.

EXT. NORTHULDRA FOREST, CLEARING - DUSK

Elsa and the giants have a firefight with rocks and ice. She intends to put up walls on the defensive, but the ice isn’t blasting at her command. She has a few close calls, saved only by coincidence. The two giants are too intense to take on herself.

EXT. ARENDELLE CAMPSITE OUTSKIRTS - DUSK

Kristoff and Sven race up to a fully-geared Mattias running out of breath -- he reluctantly accepts a lift.

Plan of Attack

EXT. NORTHULDRA FOREST, CLEARING - DUSK

A thrown boulder overshadows Elsa. She outstretches her hands to blast it... but nothing comes out. She tries again, to no avail. The shadow gets darker... At the last moment, Anna arrives and pulls her out. BOOM! They tumble out together with the debris.

Kristoff and Mattias arrive, with Sven drifting to a stop. Mattias jumps off gracefully, sword and shield and all.

MATTIAS runs off and starts banging on his shield with his sword. BANG! BANG! BANG! He fades ever so softer into the distance. Anna and Elsa turn to Kristoff for an answer.

The sisters look worriedly at each other. A GIANT'S FOOT LANDS right beside them with a THUMP! They yelp in terror -- but the giant was blind to them, as if they were not there. The giant cranes around, looking towards where Mattias is making noise. Anna circles around, and understands the plan.

They all nod, before splitting off.

EXT. NORTHULDRA FOREST, FOREST LINE - MOMENTS LATER

Mattias has the focal attention of both the giants. He keeps up the racket, walking backwards, leading them away... until his foot is caught on a root. He falls on his back, looking up at the two enraged giants. They pick up boulders, wind back their shoulders, and follow through... but a harsh noise causes them to squirm their arm at the last second, causing their projectile to fall short. KRISTOFF AND SVEN lead a herd of wild reindeer to run laps around the giants' toes. They let out a cacophony of wolf-like cry, startling the giants, throwing off their balance.

Mattias raises his eyebrows in amusement. ELSA sends a consistent barrage of ice spikes towards the giants, renewing her own confidence. One giant winds up a boulder to throw at her... A horn blows. The boulder falls wayside. Elsa turns to see-- YELENA perched on a tree some distance away, also joining in the racket. They exchange smiles.

EXT. ARENDELLIAN CAMPSITE - DUSK

Runeard sees the stone giants start to move away from the dam.

Saving Kristoff

EXT. NORTHULDRA FOREST - DUSK

The stone giants let out an annoyed roar. One of them plucks Kristoff from Sven, and plays around with him like a ragdoll.

A miserable pebble bounces off the back of the stone giant. ANNA is sitting on top of a tree, another pebble in hand, though suddenly abashed. Everyone, including the giants, pause: did Anna really just try that? KRISTOFF's POV: He is still hanging upside down, dizzying himself as he flails around.

MATTIAS looses himself and resumes his noisemaking, desperately shouting too. He jumps into action: he runs towards the giants. The giants start launching boulders straight at him. The king's guard expertly dodges and dives, making his way to the giant's foot. EVERYONE is thoroughly amazed. They keep up the noise and distractions, inching both giants away from the dam. MATTIAS starts scaling the giant's body and up the hand that held Kristoff, though hanging on for dear life as the giant tries to shake him off. He hacks at the giant's arm with his sword, and pulls back to see his own sword dented. But slowly the giant releases its grip.

ELSA is busy with the other giant when she hears the

She freezes in place, looking down at her hands. Yelena sees her and stops too.

Elsa turns to the main giant, and quickly materializes an ice slide leading up to Kristoff... but a boulder from the other giant looms towards her. She jumps out of the way, causing her ice construct to veer off course. MATTIAS sees the ice slide shooting right towards him! SHUNK! He lets go of the giant, narrowly avoiding being bisected. He tumbles to the ground with a tuck and roll.

Elsa panics. Her own attention is divided between the two giants. But both their attention is on her. Rocks are falling all around her like meteors, forcing her on the defensive. MATTIAS hacks away at the giant's leg, doing no damage. The giant roars and tosses Kristoff high into the air.

CLACK! The giant reaches down for Mattias. He decides to escape in between the giant's legs, but the giant's hands are about to crush him... ANNA appears, riding Sven up along the bent-over body of the stone giant. The giant is pushed downwards, making it miss Mattias, who escapes.

Kristoff, in free-fall, extends his hand. The giant stands up. As if on a ramp, Anna bucks Sven to leap off the giant... In slow motion, Anna soars across the sky and meets Kristoff... their hands connect... Anna pulls him onto Sven... they land on the opposite giant, and slide down it. As if a stunt vehicle, Sven drifts to a stop.

Kristoff faints. Mattias backpedals over to her.

Mattias was taken aback, and dumbly watches Anna as she nonchalantly gathers a few more rocks and charges towards the giants.

Killing the Giants

ELSA slowly recovers her pace, as the rest of the gang adeptly lure the giants away while dodging flying boulders.

The first giant howls louder than ever before. It brings its fists up... and down. It sends a tremendous earthquake that knocks everyone off their feet. The Forest itself became a hurricane of leaves. The giant fixates its eyes on Elsa, and starts charging towards her like a murderous bull, shaking the earth with every stomp. It overshadows Elsa.

Death flashes before Elsa's eyes. She screams. Mist swirls around her, charging up... she lets loose a massive blinding explosion cone of ice. FWAMMMMMMMMMM!!!! The giant crumbles backwards, dwarfed by a blizzard of snow... a shape spins out of the storm... the giant's crystallized arm. THUD! It lands right next to the Northuldra campsite. A snow cloud erupts from the crash site. THE STONE GIANTS bellow in horror, retreating into the woods.

MATTIAS drops all his gear to the ground, breathless and trembling.

13 - Scarf

Strong Magic

EXT. GIANT'S ARM RUINS - NIGHT

The sun dips below the horizon just as Elsa pushes through the dense snow cloud surrounding the ruins of the GIANT'S SEVERED ARM.

Anna stops.

Elsa's hands are still shivering with cold blue energy.

Anna's heartbroken. She considers. She digs her satchel to pull out Iduna's scarf.

Elsa squirms... but allows Anna to wrap the scarf around her. Anna's warm hands seemed to calm the glow of her own. Elsa looses up.

The Ice Memories

The snow cloud finally dissipates, revealing a field of BEAUTIFUL ICE STATUES, somehow sculpted from the ruins next to the River. They walk closer together to inspect them.

Both the sisters get a scare. One of the figures was actually Olaf.

Kristoff and Sven enter the scene. Kristoff slightly woozy.

Sven tiptoes over to the River to sip water.

They nod awkwardly, and walk on to surround the FINAL SCULPTURE at the end: it's a boy being pushed aside by a girl standing in his place as a "wave" crashes down on them.

Mattias enters, walking closer, cautious but dumbfound.

Yelena leads two dozen Northuldra to circle the gang. Mattias instintively draws his sword and stands between them.

True enough: the girl was wearing the exact same scarf.

Everyone exchanges glances. Mattias backs down. They simmer in the revelation. Yelena nods to the Northuldra, who connect their hands, forming a spiral with Yelena in the middle, around the gang. They sing an a capella Vuelie in increasing voices. "Iduna's Scarf" (Original)

The leaves in the trees and the ice statues start to take a neon blue glow. The Forest seemed to be sing along.

Mattias shifts uncomfortably. Olaf awkwardly takes his hand.

Anna and Elsa draw deep breaths in catharsis. The voices climax.

Yelena trails towards Elsa.

The Path Ahead

EXT. NORTHULDRA CAMPSITE - MUCH LATER

The gang are packing supplies with aid of the Northuldra. Yelena talks with Elsa off in the background.

Kristoff scrunches and looks over her shoulder at Mattias, who was inconsicuously fascinated with Northuldra’s campsite.

Anna twists around to see Mattias softly chuckle at the Northuldra fabrics.

Anna goes for a bear hug.

Anna beams the widest, brightest smile. They embrace again.

AT THE CAMPFIRE

Yelena prods Elsa with the blunt end of her knitting stick.

Yelena nods.

Elsa tilts her head, but leans in.

14 - Kristoff

Slipping Out

EXT. ARENDELLIAN CAMPSITE - DAWN

Runeard, Mattias and Kristoff sit around a table, finishing their breakfast of unsual dishes. Kristoff sneaks carrots to Sven, who was hiding behind a wall.

Runeard furrows his brows. Mattias noisily clears his throat. Kristoff belatedly gets the signal.

Runeard eyes them both... then blinks his eyes tiredly, satisfied.

Kristoff shakes his head, unconvinced.

Runeard stands up to address the entire camp. They fall silent when he starts.

Everyone disperses like a hornet's nest. Yet in the chaos, Mattias looks around, pulls some carrots from lunch and slips out of the main campsite. Kristoff and Sven follow.

EXT. DAM - DAY

Mattias crosses the river over the dam, nodding to soldiers who salute in response. Kristoff and Sven not far behind.

EXT. NORTHULDRA FOREST - DAY

Mattias weaves through a familiar path. He turns around-- Kristoff spins behind a tree just in time. Sven acts like a wild reindeer. Mattias cautiously carries on. LATER A group of wild reindeer are grazing. PAN to reveal Mattias stalking them from a bush. PAN to reveal Kristoff stalking him. Mattias tosses them some carrots. The reindeer get spooked -- but inspect the carrots anyways. Mattias comes out of hiding, approaching the unaware reindeer... hand out... closer... The wild reindeer turn around, face-to-face with Mattias.
