"Wow, that is a lot of ice," Anna said, as we all looked at the ice wall. She was right, it was a light of ice. But there was really no need to state the obvious there, was there?

"And it's time for it to come down," Elsa nodded with a smile, walking towards the wall. She used her powers to destroy the ice wall and bring back the town line again.

"Okay. Now can we go back home now?" Anna asked, walking towards the town line.

"Stop! Don't take another step! That's the town line," Emma explained, at the same time I had yelled out, "I wouldn't do that if I were you!"

"Right. But I want to leave the town. Didn't I just say that?" Anna asked us.

"The wall may be down, but I sense that some of Ingrid's magic remains," Emma explained, touching her hand to the town line. Blue sparks of energy where her hand touched it signified that there was definitely some magic left, "Yeah, leaving this town has never been simple. And Ingrid? She didn't change things. She wanted to be here alone with you and me. She wanted to make Storybrooke her ice castle, and clearly she wanted to protect it."

"So how do we get back home?" Anna asked softly, turning to her older sister.

"Walking wouldn't get us there anyway. We're in a different realm," Elsa explained, worriedly looking at her sister.

"We're going to get you two home. We'll find a way, we always do," I assured the girls, as they smiled at me. I sent them a smile back as Emma looked down at me and wrapped an arm around me with a grin.

"We need to find a portal. Or magic beans or something," Emma explained, turning serious again.

"Okay, now I'm lost," Kristoff spoke for the first time during this conversation.

"Well, then let's get one of those things. We have to hurry," Anna explained.

"No, we don't need to rush. We need to be careful. Arendelle will still be there while we figure this out," Elsa tried to reason with Anna.

"It might not. Did we forget to tell her?" Anna gasped, turning to Kristoff.

"A lot of stuff was going on," Kristoff tried to defend.

"Tell me what?" Elsa asked seriously, looking between the two. Seriously.. What happened? What could've possibly happened this time?

"Arendelle's been conquered... By Hans and his 12 brothers," Anna explained softly to her.

"And you thought that now would be a great time to bring this up? Not.. I don't know, the moment you showed up?" I asked her, as Emma sent me a look. I gave Emma a helpless look.
