Melted rewrite

Chapter 5

Elsa and Kristoff burst out of the conifer forest and almost run right off a cliff. They stopped short, toes on the edge.

"Whoa, stop!" Kristoff said.

"It's a hundred foot drop." Elsa said.

"It's two hundred." Kristoff said while he tied the rope around Elsa and pulled tight.

"Ow." she said.

He dropped to his knees and started digging a u-shape in the snow with a pick axe.

"What's that for?" she continued.

"I'm digging a snow anchor." he said.

"Okay. What if we fall?" she said ot trusting him.

There's twenty feet of fresh powder down there; it'll be like landing on a pillow... Hopefully. They hear an angry ROAR coming closer.

"Okay, Elsa. On three." he said.

Elsa prepped for the jump like a boxer getting ready to fight.

"Okay. You tell me when... "

"One..." he started.

"I'm ready to go..." she said.

"Two..." he said.

"I was BORN ready! Yes!" she said pumped up.

"Calm down." he said.

Then a huge tree flew through the air toward them.

"TREE!" Elsa said then jumped and pulled Kristoff over the edge with her.

They hang upside down over the cliff by the rope and the rope caught their fall.

"Whoa! That happened." he said.

Back up top, Olaf emerged from the woods. He was a complete mess, all his body parts are in the wrong places. He huffed and puffed, struggling to run.

"Ah. Ah. Man, am I out of shape." Olaf said.

He stopped an puts his body back together in the right order.

"There we go. Hey, Elsa! Sven! Where'd ya guys go? We totally lost Marshmallow back there!" he said.

Then Marshmallow stepped up behind Olaf. Olaf turns to face him.

"Hey. We were just talking about you. All good things, all good things." he said happily.

Marshmallow roared and approached Kristoff's snow anchor.

"NO!" Olaf said and jumped onto Marshmallow's leg trying to stop him, but not making much of a difference.

"This is not making much of a difference!" he continued while Marshmallow flicked Olaf off his leg and right over the cliff.

"WHOA!" Olaf said and passed Elsa and Kristoff.

"Olaf!" she said.

"Hang in there, guys!" Olaf said.

Then Marshmallow started yanking Kristoff and Elsa 's rope up.

"Wait, what?" she said.

Then Kristoff's head hit the cliff.

"Aargghh!" Kristoff said and passed out then hung like a rag doll.

"Kristoff!" Elsa said.

Marshmallow pulled them up. He roared and breathed mettle all over them.

"Don't come back!" he said.

"Ugh. We won't." Elsa said disgusted by the mettle breath.

Elsa whipped out a knife and cut the rope and Kristoff came to just as they fell. They both screamed.

Then they slammed onto the ground and Elsa opened her eyes to find herself buried up to her shoulders in the soft thick snow. She laughs.

"Hey, you were right. Just like a pillow. She looks up to see Olaf's upper half hanging onto Kristoff's boots, which are sticking out of the snow.

"I can't feel my legs! I can't feel my legs!" Olaf said while he rubbed the boots.

Suddenly, Kristoff's head pops up and he spit out snow.

"Those are my legs." Kristoff said.

Then Olaf's bottom went running by.

"Ooh. Hey, do me a favor, grab my butt." Olaf said to Kristoff.

So he grabs Olaf's head and puts it on his body.

"Oh, that feels better." he said while Sven walked up and sniffed Olaf's nose.

" Hey, Sven." Olaf said and turned to Elsa and Kristoff just as Sven went to bite off his nose - and missed.

"He found us." Kristoff said as Sven in a funny voice. "Who's my cute little reindeer?" he continued.

"Don't talk to him like that." Kristoff said and went over to help Elsa, who was stuck in the snow.

"Here." he said and lifted her out easily.

"Whoa!" she said impressed.

"You okay?" Kristoff asked.

"Thank you." she said when they met eyes.

"Um... How's your head?" she asked and touched the spot where he banged his head.

"Ah! Ooh!" he said in pain.

He caught himself and waved off the pain with a giggle.

"I mean, It's fine. Ah...I'm good. Ha. I've got a thick skull." he continued.

"I don't have a skull... Or bones." Olaf said.

"So..." he started while the awkwardness started killing him.

"Now what?" he continued shy.

"Now what?" Elsa said shy to then started panicking. "Now what?! Oh! What am I gonna do? She threw me out. Even thou I'm the Queen I can't go back to Arendelle with the weather like this. And then there's your ice business-"

"Hey, hey, don't worry about my ice business..." Kristoff said then noticed something. "Worry about your hair?!"

She thought he meant it looked bad and smoothed it down.

"What? I just fell off a cliff. You should see your hair. It's really white from the snow."

"It's turning red." he said while she took the snow off his head.

She grabbed her braided ponytail as a tendril turned red.

"Red? It's what?"

"It's because she struck you; isn't it?" he asked.

"Does it look bad?" she asked.

"No." he said thinking.

Then Olaf's head popped up. He's holding his head up off his body to join the conversation.

"You hesitated." Olaf said.

"No, I didn't. Elsa, you need help. Now, come on." Kristoff said

He headed towards the sunset and Sven and Olaf followed.

"Okay! Where are we going?" Olaf asked.

"To see my friends." Kristoff said.

"The love experts?" Elsa said catching up.

"Love experts?!" Olaf said.

"Yes. And don't worry; they'll be able to fix this." Kristoff said.

"I hope.' he thought.

"How do you know?" she asked

He looked her over, remembering the moment he saw the trolls heal her as a child.

"Because I've seen them do it before." Kristoff said having a picture of what happened that night.

As they round the bend, the sun sets and Olaf turns to Sven.

"I like to consider myself a love expert." Olaf said.
