                                                         Jack's P.o.V

After we tell North, we return to Evelyn.  Ben looks up when we enter.

"Nothing's changed." he sighs, getting up.  We stand at various points in the room watching her, hoping something will happen.  Then something does.  

Snow starts to swirl out of her hand, circling beside her bed.  We all stare at it as the swirls begin to form something.  There's a puff, then silence.  

A snowman stands there, well, snow woman.  She has a little flurry like Olaf.

"What's this?" I ask.

"I...  I have no idea..." Elsa replies, speechless.  The snow woman blinks and looks around.

"Hi!  I'm Maria, and I like warm kisses!!" she exclaims, walking over to us.

"Uh, Maria.  What are you doing here?" I ask, crouching down.

"I...  Hm, that's funny.  I don't know!" she chuckles.

"Elsa!  Jack!  I just heard about Evelyn!  Although, I'm not sure why I wasn't the first to know, I mean Evelyn and I are-" Olaf rambles, walking in and seeing Maria.  He stops in his tracks, his mouth hanging open.

"Wow, she got Olaf to shut up." I mutter to Elsa.  "We should keep her around."

"Who is she!?" Olaf breathes.

"Hi!  I'm Maria, and I like warm kisses!  Who are you!?" she replies cheerfully.

"I- I'm Olaf. a-and I like warm... hugs." 

"Oh, I love warm hugs!!!  Do you know where I could get one?" 

"Uh, well, I-I could try." Olaf says shyly.

"Okay!!" Maria exclaims, walking over to him with outstretched arms, or... twigs.  They hug each other.

"Wow, you do give warm hugs!!" she cries, giggling happily.

"Glad I could give you one.  And I heard you like warm kisses?"

"Where did you hear that!?  Oh, right, you heard it from me!" she giggles again.  "I'm so silly.  Do you know where I could find warm kisses?"

Olaf opens his mouth to speak, but Elsa interjects.

"Okay!  Uh, Olaf, how about you show Maria around the castle, maybe.  And please, no warm kisses in front of anyone." she says.

"Okie dokie!  Come on, Maria, you'll love autumn weather!  It's almost as good as summer!" Olaf exclaims, happily taking Maria's hand.

"How the hell did that happen?" Ben asks once they're gone.

I shrug, "Something must be happening in this dream state of her's." 

                                           Evelyn's P.o.V 

I look out the window of my room.  My hair is intricately braided and my gown is finally on.  I watch the people gather around before the ball honoring my 18th birthday.  

My parents insist it's going to be a fun celebration, but after seeing the amount of Princes, I know it's to see if I can find a Prince to marry.  I've heard them talking about it in hushed voices.

There's a knock.  "Hey, Evelyn, your parents are looking for you." Olaf says.  I turn around and smile.

"I know.  I'm just avoiding this ball as much as possible." I tell him.
