The picture fogs over once again and the fog turns white before Jack stands up just as it fades.

The audience having been in a state of worry, were now having more emotional whiplash at the drastic scene changes.

Jack, as much as she tried not to, couldn't help but feel at fault at her friends dire situation. If I had just found a way to bring them with me they wouldn't be at the beach facing Pitch!

Emma, immediately knowing Jack is blaming herself once again, hugs Jack's arm in reassurance.

She looks around to see herself surrounded by ice sculptures of herself and everyone she knew in moments of the past. Passing by her younger self kneeling next to a snowman.

Past Jack(14yr): Hi I'm Frosty, wanna be my friend?

Past Emma(6yr): (hugs snowman) I love you Frosty!

Most of the audience couldn't help but give an audible "awe" at the two sisters.

Jack awes at the memory and turns to see Moana sailing past. Then Merida pulling Hiccup at the dance in the kingdom the day before.

Past Merida: Ach!Come un! Yeh can do et!

Past Jack: Into the Unknown!

Jack winces at the sight of herself just a couple days ago. Another kingdom dance memory passes, this time it's Rapunzel with music from the event as she dances around Jack. Jack shakes her shoulders before waving it off, coming up to a young Jack being helped up by a boy.

Jack: How many times do I have to tell you- I'm greeeaat.

???: Well, good thing Beautiful, I was hoping-

Jack breaks the memory of the boy with a disgusted look.

"Oi! What was that for?" Snotlout asked. He didn't see the boy do anything wrong.

"That was Jason," Emma answered with the same disgruntled look that Jack shared on screen. "He's a jerkwod that would always hit on Jack."

Everyone minus Snotlout nodded in understanding.

Jack blinks as she sees an older Emma hugging her husband.

Husband: I love you.

Emma: I love you too, which is why I need to tell you about these dreams I've been having.

Husband: (hand on her cheek) I'm listening.

Jack turns away upon hearing a giggle and sees a tree with someone hanging from a branch and another reading below.

Citlali: Ah, Ahanu!

Ahanu: Well whach'u reading there?

Citlali: It's just something Emma lended.

Citlali and Ahanu couldn't help but feel thrill at seeing themselves on the screen. This story taking place in the future and there had not been a single mention of them, they weren't expecting to see themselves. Even in ice form.

The Chief and Shaman gave a silent sigh of contentment at the sight of Jack adoring her friends on screen. Despite their discretion of a paleface being a spirit at the beginning of all of this, they can admit those thoughts had been based on negative bits from others. But still, it was nice to see that she wasn't putting up some sort of farce in the theater with them. On screen, where she thought no one was watching, she looked to her past friends with a burning love in her eyes.
