10 years ago...
It was a beautiful sunny day in Animation Acres, and right now, an 8-year old Elsa and a 6-year old Anna were both sitting on a bench drinking smoothies. Suddenly, Anna had an idea in her head as a huge grin spread across her face.
"Hey, Elsaaaaaaa..." Anna turned to her sister.
"No," Elsa smirked at her sister.
"Aww, come on!" Anna pouted.
"I'm not going to count how long fast you can drink a smoothie!" Elsa turned to Anna.
"Just one time, please?" Anna asked. "I'll be fine!"
Elsa sighed. "Okay, just one time."
"Okay, go!" Anna immediately began slurping down her smoothie as fast as she could, trying to slurp the entire cup clean. Suddenly, her eyes widened as one began to twitch.
"10 seconds," Elsa smirked again.
Anna frantically jumped out of the bench and held onto her skirt. "Oh, man! Gotta go! Gotta go! Gotta go!"
Elsa smiled and pointed to a porta-potty on the right, as Anna grinned. "Thanks, Elsa! I'll be right back!"
As Anna closed the door, Elsa giggled. She then got up from the bench and stretched her arms, but suddenly, she felt her smoothie bump something, causing it to fall to the ground.
"Oh, man!" Elsa reached down to pick it up, but then noticed part of a black robe that was now covered in her smoothie. She looked up and saw a rather frightening figure in a dark green cloak.
Elsa giggled nervously. "Oh...he-he...sorry about that! I...I-I didn't see you there!"
The figure pulled of it's hood revealing a green skinned woman with large black horns. She looked down at Elsa with a menacing glare, making her step back. She then raised her hand, as it began to glow blue.
"No, wait!" Elsa held her hands up. "I didn't mean to! I-"
Before Elsa could finish, the figure then zapped Elsa with her blue magic.
Present time
"No!...No!!!..." Elsa woke up with a frightened gasp. She looked around and saw she was in her own room. She looked down sadly, knowing she must've dozed off and had that horrible dream again. Ever since that terrifying woman cursed her, Elsa's life had been turned upside down. She looked at her hands, being worn by her blue gloves, which as usual, help her from exposing her powers by accident.
She looked outside and saw the snowy Animation Acres outside, with snow continuing to fall. Fall had officially come to a close, and winter had made it's entrance, once again. Elsa let out an angry heave of breath. Winter wasn't exactly the kind of thing to get her mind off this.
"Hey, Elsa!"
Elsa nearly jumped in the air by that statement, as she turned and saw a smiling Anna at the bedroom door.
"I was calling your name 3 times, sleepyhead!" Anna laughed. "We were gonna get firewood from Spike and Twilight after dinner, remember?"
"Oh, yeah." Elsa spoke, getting out from bed. "Just let me get washed up and I'll be ready."
Anna noticed Elsa's glum expression. "...You okay?" She asked.
"Yeah, I'm...I'm fine." Elsa quickly said as she then entered the bathroom and closed the door.
"Well...alright!" Anna said, as she looked down, feeling worried for Elsa.
Meanwhile in Twilight and Spike's tree, two chipmunks were scurrying around different branches getting as much acorns. One had a small black nose and two small teeth, while the second had ruffly fur, a big red nose and two big teeth.
"Got your stack, Dale?" The first one called.
"Sure do, Chip!" The second one spoke hopping down to his friend.
"Well, let's get back home!" Chip said as he and Dale began walking back home. But suddenly, they both noticed that their hole was open.
"Our home!" Chip said as he ran to it as Dale followed, accidentally dropping the acorns. "I told you to put the leaf on the hole!" Chip stubbornly told Dale.
When he ran inside, he noticed all their previous acorns were all frozen solid. "Oh no!" Chip put his hands on his head in frustration.
"Oh, they're not all ruined!" Dale picked up a frozen acorn and began to lick it.
"Thee?" Dale said with his tongue on the acorn. "It'th good!" But suddenly, he noticed his tongue stuck on the acorn. "Uh...buddy?" Dale tried to pull the acorn off his tongue, but it was still stuck.
Chip rolled his eyes and went over to Dale. He pulled the acorn back with Dale's tongue stretching as he let go, having the acorn hit him, leaving Dale seeing stars.
"Thanks," Dale said in a daze. He then shook it off and looked back up at Chip. "But what are we gonna do now? It's always so cold in this tree!"
Chip began to think and pace back and forth for a couple seconds, as Dale eventually began to do the same.
Something came to Chip's mind as he grinned. "I know!" Suddenly, Dale accidentally bumped into Chip due to his pacing. Chip shot Dale an annoyed look as he shrugged, sheepishly.
"What I'm trying to say is, we'll go to the forest for the winter!" Chip moved some leaves aside for him and Dale to look at the Brisby forest in view.
"In there?" Dale asked, nervously. "But there's all kinds of spooky stuff in there!"
"No need to act chicken!" Chip said as he and Dale began hopping through branches. "It's only for winter! Now we just need some new food to take along for the ride!"
"From inside the tree? But, Chip!" Dale said as they stopped at one of the windows. "That big cat's inside for winter and he hates us!"
Chip wiped some mist from the window to get a closer view, and he and Dale and saw Sylvester asleep on the couch. Chip began to think of a way to get in without having to wake Sylvester. He began to pace again, as Dale started to do the same, but Chip put his hand to Dale's head, making him stop, as Dale chuckled nervously.
Knock-knock-knock-knock-knock!
The two chipmunks suddenly heard a noise from down below and noticed Twilight Sparkle enter the living room and toward the door from the window.
Chip peeked from behind the leaves and noticed Anna and Elsa waiting outside Twilight and Spike's house.
"Ah-ha!" Chip then poked his head up to Dale. "Take my paw!"
"Huh?" Dale asked. Chip took Dale's paw and made a leap from the tree and into Anna's purple coat hood without her noticing.
Twilight then opened the door to her house, and looked up to Anna and Elsa. "Oh, Anna! Elsa!" Twilight said, cheerfully. "What are you doing here?"
"Well, we're running low on firewood back at our place," Anna answered. "And we were wondering if we could use some of yours? I mean if it's not any trouble."
"It's no trouble at all," Twilight spoke, allowing Anna and Elsa to enter. "Come on in!"
As Anna and Elsa walked inside the tree home, Chip and Dale quickly jumped out of Anna's hood and into the living room, heading to the kitchen.
But as Anna and Elsa entered the home, Spike walked in from downstairs, and grinned when he saw his babysitters inside.
"Anna! Elsa!" Spike happily ran up to them.
"Hi, Spike!" Anna ruffled Spike's scales.
"What are you doing here?" Spike asked.
"We just came for some firewood." Anna answered. But then she noticed Sylvester behind Spike, glaring at her as his tail kept going back and forth.
"Hi, Sylvester!" Anna spoke trying to act playful as she reached to pet the cat. "And how's the kitty doing?"
Sylvester's fur stood up and with an angry meow and hiss, raced up to the top of the stairs, keeping his glare on Anna, leaving her surprised.
"Sorry," Spike chuckled nervously.
"Ah, it's cool, Spike." Anna looked back to Spike. "Every time I see him, it's zoom up the stairs."
As Anna and Spike laughed, Elsa smiled. She always liked whenever they watched over Spike or came to visit.
"I've got some firewood for you!" Twilight spoke as she entered the living room, with firewood on her back.
"Thanks, Miss Sparkle." Elsa said, taking the firewood.
"Elsa," Twilight smirked. "I said before you can call me Twilight." But then she took notice of something. "Hmm, that's new."
"What?" Elsa asked.
"Well, it's just that I'm used to you wearing your blue gloves all the time," Twilight looked up to Elsa. "Especially in winter."
"What?" Elsa looked down at her hands and to her surprise, she wasn't wearing her gloves! She must've forgotten to put them back on after cleaning up! She gasped as she dropped the firewood in fear, leaving Anna, Spike and Twilight surprised.
"Oh no," Anna whispered, nervously.
"Elsa, what's wrong?" Twilight asked concerned.
"Oh, it's...it's-it's nothing!" Elsa began to back away, while accidentally putting her hand on the wall. She noticed her hand start to glow blue and feel icy. She pulled it off in fear and opened the front door.
"I'm sorry, something just came up!" Elsa began to run out of the house. "I-I've gotta go!"
"Elsa, wait!" Anna tried to follow her. "Wait, it's okay, I..." But it was too late, Elsa was already gone from the tree. Anna sighed and put her palm to her head in frustration.
"Anna?"
Anna quickly looked down and saw Spike looking up to her. "Oh, Spike!" Anna quickly turned around with a nervous grin. "Didn't see ya, there!"
"Anna," Spike looked down. "What's going on with Elsa? Every other time I see here, she's usually freaking out about something."
"Oh, it's nothing, Spike!" Anna knelt down to Spike. "Elsa's...just going through some tough times right now."
"Are you sure?" Spike asked, looking up with worried eyes. "She's always like this!"
Anna felt her heart sink looking into Spike's eyes. But she kept her cool and looked back to him. "I promise you Spike," Anna spoke. "You've got nothing to worry about."
Spike looked down, still not sure. "Okay,"
"Come on, Spike." Anna said playfully as she rubbed her face in Spike's cheek making him laugh. "There's nothing to worry about, okay?"
"Okay! Okay!" Spike laughed.
"Alright." Anna said as she got back up to leave. "I'll see you back in school, Spike." She waved.
"You too, Anna!" Spike waved back as Anna was gone from sight.
But once Anna was gone, Spike's smile faded, still worried about Elsa. But he quickly noticed Anna walking back up.
"Forgot the firewood," Anna chuckled sheepishly.
Back at Anna and Elsa's home, Elsa was on the couch taking deep breaths, almost hyperventilating while Anna was trying her best to console her. Elsa had gotten her gloves back on, but she wasn't feeling better in the slightest.
"I can't believe I forgot my gloves." Elsa looked down in fear.
"It's okay, Elsa. Nothing happened." Anna patted Elsa's back.
"I almost got my power exposed!" Elsa turned to her sister. "How can you say nothing happened?"
"Maybe you're looking at this bad!" Anna said. "I mean, it's not like they're gonna drive our friends away!"
"Well it drove Mom and Dad away," Elsa said, stubbornly.
Anna didn't know what to say after that, she looked down sadly at the thought.
Elsa looked on how sad Anna looked and felt guilty. "Anna," She said. "I...I'm sorry." Elsa noticed that Anna was still looking down at that. "We've been through a lot, and...it's been hard for both of us...but I didn't mean to take it out on you."
Anna looked up and noticed the regret in Elsa's eyes. She smiled warmly and gave Elsa a one-arm hug, giggling. "It's okay,"
Elsa smiled back at Anna, but then something hit her in realization. "You know," Elsa said as she got up. "I think you're right, Anna."
"About what?" Anna asked, getting up.
"I need to stop hiding all the time. I don't think I should tell anyone, but I should stop hiding. In fact, I think I should start to get better control of my powers." Elsa looked at her gloves.
"You really think so?" Anna asked as a grin grew on her face.
"I think I do," Elsa said as she began to walk out the door. "In fact, I think I know where to practice them. Where I'll be relaxed and in control."
"I'll go with you!" Anna said getting her purple cape.
"Wait!" Elsa quickly said, making Anna accidentally trip over the cape. "I...think I should go alone for now, I don't want you to get hurt if something goes wrong."
"Gotcha covered." Anna smiled at that and held the cape up and started to get back on her feet.
Elsa took the cape, but pulled it too quickly making Anna lose her balance again. Elsa tried to stop her from falling, only for them to both fall over. Anna chuckled as Elsa smirked at her. "Sorry."
Elsa then got up and put her cape on. She then began to walk out the door.
"Oh, Elsa!" Anna stopped her sister again.
Elsa turned to her. "I'm happy for you." Anna simply said.
Elsa smiled at that as she finally went outside and looked into the distance of the Brisby Forest. She suddenly felt still. This was such a sudden change from just staying inside all day, and she had no idea what the future had in store for her. But she swallowed her pride and finally walked towards the forest, trying to keep her courage up.
Meanwhile, Chip was peeking his head from the kitchen to see if the coast was clear. "Okay, Dale!" Chip whispered. "It's clear!"
Chip then ran back as he helped Dale pull a link of sausages into the living room. But all of a sudden, Chip stopped in his tracks, causing Dale to bump into him and drop the sausage link on Chip. Dale chuckled nervously. "Sorry."
"Shhh!" Chip whispered putting his paws over Dale's mouth. "Look, the cat!" Chip pointed up to the couch, and there was Sylvester sleeping.
They began to quietly tip-toe past the couch, but both stopped again, as Sylvester was waking up! But to their surprise, the drowsy cat slowly walked upstairs, not noticing Chip and Dale.
"Whoa," Chip turned to Dale. "He didn't even notice us!"
"Yeah," Dale said. "...I'm gonna pull a whisker!"
"Dale!" Chip quickly jumped on Dale and pinned him to the floor. Dale chuckled. "Just kidding."
"Come on, goofball!" Chip opened the window as he and Dale then jumped out of it with the sausage link and to the Brisby Forest.
Back in Spike and Twilight's home, the young dragon was in his room looking out the window, thinking about what happened earlier with Elsa.
"Every time I see Elsa, there's always something bugging her!" Spike said to himself. "What's going on?"
Sylvester walked into Spike's room and sat next to Spike, concerned for him.
"The way she looks at everything a lot, it's almost like she thinks anything she touches is gonna explode." Spike looked down, but then turned to his cat.
"Do you think everything's alright with Elsa?" Spike asked.
Sylvester's eyes widened. He always had personal problems with Anna and Elsa, though the only thing they did was keep him from eating Tweety. But he was always skeptical of them watching over Spike and felt something was up with them. But, he didn't want Spike to worry, so he quickly shrugged.
Spike sighed as he looked back out the window. "I don't know, there's just gotta be some way I could-" Spike suddenly took notice of Elsa walking past his house. Outside of her blue gloves and purple cape, Elsa looked like she wasn't even dressed for the cold.
"Where's she going?" Spike then jumped down and put a scarf on. As he was about to exit his bedroom, he suddenly saw Sylvester in his way with a worried look.
"Don't worry, Sylvester. I'll be back later." Spike petted his cat before heading downstairs, as Sylvester watched in worry for his young master. Spike then went to the living room window and saw Elsa leaving Animation Acres, towards the Brisby Forest.
"Spike?" Spike turned and saw Twilight walking up to him. "Spike, what's wrong?"
"Oh, uh...I was gonna go for a walk!" Spike quickly said.
"At this time?" Twilight asked. Spike nodded.
"Well...just be home before dark." Twilight spoke, cautiously.
"Will do!" Spike then exited through the door as he went on his way to follow Elsa.
In the Brisby Forest, Chip and Dale were successful in finding a high tree to spend the winter, and they managed to have enough room to put their sausage link in. Chip looked proud of the work they did, while Dale just stared at the sausage with a blank expression.
"We did good! Didn't we, Dale?" Chip turned to his friend.
"...I wanna eat..." Dale spoke.
"We can't eat all of it now!" Chip said to Dale as he peeked his head out of the hole in the tree. "Why don't we go exploring? The forest is beautiful at this time!"
"AAAWWWK!"
A large raven swooped past the tree, scaring Chip out of his fur and jump on Dale, who still had a blank expression. "...I wanna eat..."
All of a sudden, the two heard the sound of footsteps below their tree. Both of them were equally alarmed.
"Wh-what's that?" Dale said in fear.
"I don't know," Chip slowly peeked his head out of the hole. "Do you think it might be a wolf? Or a bear?"
"Or a shark?" Dale asked. Chip looked back to Dale in annoyance, but heard the footsteps getting closer.
The two chipmunks peeked a little closer and saw Elsa walking through the forest.
"What's that lady here for?" Dale asked, but was quickly shushed by Chip.
Elsa stopped walking and took a deep breath. "Okay, Elsa." She told herself. "Time to get your powers under control." Elsa nervously removed one of her gloves and her hand started to glow blue, much to Elsa's fear.
"No!" Elsa clenched her fist. "Stop! Keep it under control!" Suddenly, from her fist shot an icy blast that struck four trees, covering them in sheets of ice, causing Chip and Dale's jaws to drop.
"Keep it under control! Under control!" Elsa held onto her hand, trying to ease it, but nothing worked.
"She froze all those trees, Chip!" Dale almost lost his balance on the tree branch he was on, but Chip pulled him back before the now broken branch fell to the ground.
"Who's there?!" Elsa immediately turned around when hearing the branch fall. There was nothing. Only the soft, but eerie winds of winter.
Elsa then walked away, further into the forest, sure that nobody was following her...not knowing a familiar set of eyes and teeth were watching her.
Meanwhile, Chip and Dale peeked again from their tree and saw Elsa leave.
"Look what the lady did!" Chip said, pointing at the frozen trees.
"Whoa..." Dale was surprised beyond belief. "Well, what are we gonna do, Chip?"
"Well, we can't let her freeze anymore trees! She might get ours, next!" Chip hopped aboard another tree as Dale nervously followed. "We gotta stop her! Come on!" Chip and Dale began jumping through more trees to secretly keep up with Elsa.
Farther back than Elsa, Spike began walking through the Brisby Forest, in hopes of finding her and figuring out what's going on.
"She's gotta be in here, somewhere." Spike sat down by a tree to think, looking at every direction of the forest. "But which way should I go?"
"Lost, perchance?"
Spike jumped back up at the sound of a voice, and looked up in the trees. Up high, he saw what appeared to be the crescent moon.
"The moon?" Spike raised an eyebrow. "It's not even dark yet!"
"Well, I don't know if I've ever been referred to as the moon, before." Suddenly, the moon revealed to be the toothy grin of the no longer invisible Cheshire Cat.
"Hey," Spike recognized the cat. "Hey, you're that cat Spot told me about! You helped save our school from Jafar!"
"That Cheshire Cat." The Cheshire Cat corrected. "So, what brings you out here this time of day?"
Spike looked up at the Cheshire Cat as he hopped down to the vines. "Well, I...I'm looking for a friend of mine."
The Cheshire Cat began to swing. "Oh, you're looking for Elsa!"
"Yeah!" Spike grinned.
"Yeah, what?" The Cheshire Cat swung.
"I'm looking for Elsa!" Spike said.
"Who's Elsa?" The Cheshire Cat shrugged.
"...But you just said that I-" Spike groaned and slapped his forehead. He remembered that Spot told him that on top of being helpful, he could also be full of mischief.
"I don't know what the fuss is about," The Cheshire Cat swung back up on his branch. "But if this...Elsa...was tall, had blonde hair, red lips with a green and black dress with a purple cape...I'd go that way." The Cheshire Cat pointed in the right.
Spike was even more confused on what the Cheshire Cat was putting in his head, but shook it off. "Thanks," Spike nodded. "I better get going then,"
"You know...why are you looking for Elsa?" The Cheshire Cat leaned from his tree branch, still smiling as ever.
"I...I just...wanna see how she's doing," Spike said, feeling a bit nervous.
"Any secrets you're trying to find out?" The Cheshire Cat asked.
"Secrets?" Spike's eyes widened. "Are-are you saying Elsa IS hiding something?!"
"You said it, not me." The Cheshire Cat pointed to Spike as he started to disappear.
"Wait!" Spike said. "Don't go! What's going on with Elsa? Is it good? Bad? I gotta know!"
All that was left of the Cheshire Cat was his grin. "Now, if I told you...there wouldn't be any secret...would there?" With a loud chuckle, the Cheshire Cat fully disappeared.
Alone again in the Brisby Forest, Spike nervously began to walk in the right direction.
"This is crazy!" Spike said to himself. "It can't be all bad!...Can it?..."
Back with Elsa, she looked both ways in the forest. She let out a sigh, she was finally alone. Alone to relax.
But as Elsa began to take off her blue gloves, Chip was watching from another tree branch. He narrowed his eyes at Elsa, ready on what to do about her.
"I've got it here, Chip!" Dale called as he hopped on the branch, causing a pile of snow to fall on Chip. Dale did not see that, as he tried to look for his buddy.
"Chip?" Dale peeked his head. "Chip, where'd you go?" Suddenly, a figure in snow began to walk towards Dale. He turned around and saw the figure.
"YAAAH!!!" Dale immediately pounded his fists on the figure's head in fear. But then the snow revealed Chip, not looking too happy.
"Chip!" Dale helped Chip up. "I saw some kind of snowy monster!"
"Was he our height?" Chip asked.
"Yeah!" Dale nodded.
"THAT WAS ME!!!" Chip stood above Dale in frustration as Dale chuckled nervously with a shrug. "Ya sure?"
Before Chip could bonk Dale on the noggin, they both noticed a blue light below them.
Elsa was waving her hands in a blue aurora as she felt her powers start to form. Elsa smiled eagerly at this. "I think I might be starting to get the hang of it!" She zapped down on the snow and out formed a snowman. A lifeless, yet harmless snowman.
Elsa looked at her hand and grinned. She zapped the snow a couple more times as a couple more snowmen popped out. "I think this was a good idea after all," Elsa said, happily.
Up in the tree, Chip and Dale began rolling out a big snowball on their branch.
"Ready, Dale?" Chip asked.
"Ready, Chip!" Dale nodded.
"Alright!" Chip narrowed his eyes at Elsa. "Time to fight fire with fire!"
"Don't you mean snow?" Chip asked.
"Well, I-" Chip stopped and thought. "...Well, yeah! Kinda,"
Chip and Dale aimed their snowball at Elsa, and once they got a good aim. They finally threw the snowball as it hit Elsa, causing her to fall to the ground, and zap something by mistake.
Elsa got herself from the ground. "...What was that?" She looked up and gasped in fear. What stood before her wasn't a lifeless, yet harmless snowman. What stood before her was a giant snow monster, and this one was most certainly full of life!
The monster roared at Elsa, causing her to fall back.
Chip and Dale were equally terrified as they held onto each other.
"We're fighting with snow, right?" Dale asked.
"...I don't even know!" Chip squeaked in fear.
"No! Wait, stop!" Elsa held up her hands in front of the beast. "Stop this! I didn't mean to-" Elsa accidentally shot another blast to the monster, as it grew in size! The monster chuckled evilly as Elsa stood back in fear. The monster lead out a loud roar as it raised his icicle claw and whacked Elsa into a tree, causing her to yelp in pain.
Spike, who was walking through the forest, took notice of the roar.
"What the-?" Spike jumped back, alarmed at the sound. "Where did...?"
"No! You need to stop!" Elsa's voice yelled.
Spike's eyes widened. "Elsa!" He then ran off in the direction of the sounds.
A weakened Elsa was backed up against the tree in fear as the snow monster closed in on her. Chip and Dale didn't know what to do. They didn't know who to help, or if they should help!
Then, Spike appeared on a high rock and saw the snow monster walking towards Elsa, ready to pick her up with his claw.
Spike's eyes widened. "Elsa!"
Elsa recognized that voice. "Spike?"
The snow monster looked up and growled at Spike, revealing his sharp, icicle teeth. Spike stood back in fear of it, but realization suddenly hit Spike on what he could do. He took a deep breath and blew fire into the monster's face.
The monster roared in pain and covered his face as it melted. Spike blew some more fire onto the beast as it began to shrink and fall to pieces, and finally melt.
Chip and Dale watched this in awe. "Well...didn't see that coming!" Dale spoke up.
Once the snow monster was done melting thanks to Spike's fire, Spike looked down to Elsa.
"Elsa!" Spike called. "Are you okay?"
"Spike?!" Elsa spoke in surpise. "...H-how much did you see? Where were you?"
"Well, I saw you with that giant snow monster!" Spike said, climbing down. "I don't know how it got there, but I couldn't just leave ya alone!"
Elsa sighed at that. It was a relief Spike didn't see her powers. I should've known this was a bad idea, Elsa thought to herself.
"Are you okay?" Spike asked.
"I'm just fine, now." Elsa spoke in a stern tone, no longer in stress. "But that doesn't explain why you're out here in the woods to begin with."
Spike looked nervously up at Elsa who had her arms crossed as he tugged at his tail. "I...I'm sorry, Elsa." Spike looked down. "I was worried about you."
"Worried about me?" Elsa asked.
"I always see you so freaked out all the time, I-I just wanted some answers," Spike turned around in shame. "And-and I didn't wanna believe you were...well, evil or something...You're not, are you?" Spike turned his head in fear and worry.
Elsa's eyes widened as she put her hand over her mouth in shock. She never intended for Spike to feel this way, to get so worried about her like this. Elsa gently pulled the young dragon in for a hug.
"Oh, sweetheart," Elsa spoke in a soft voice as Spike looked down in silence. "I'm so sorry. I never, ever meant to hurt you."
"But what's going on, Elsa?" Spike asked looking up at Elsa. "I don't know what to think anymore."
As she still held Spike, Elsa thought really hard. She didn't want to put Spike in danger, but she didn't Spike to feel uncomfortable and scared. But then, it's almost if someone whispered to her the perfect words to say. Elsa smiled at Spike and pulled his chin up.
"Spike," Elsa said. "I admit, I do have some secrets of mine."
"You do?" Spike asked nervously. "What are they? I can really help out an-"
"Shhh," Elsa put a finger to Spike's mouth. "I know you want to help, but there some secrets that are a bit too personal right now. But I want you to trust me, I would never do anything to hurt you or your family. And if you're ever in trouble or need help, I'll be there."
Spike smiled again. "You really mean it?"
"Cross my heart." Elsa nodded.
Spike happily hugged Elsa, as she in return shared the embrace. Chip and Dale both smiled warmly at that. They now knew Elsa wasn't bad after all. Dale laid his head on Chip as he wrapped his arm around him. Chip then snapped out of it and raised an eyebrow at Dale, who still had warm, yet goofy smile on his face.
Elsa then looked up, as she felt cold wind against her face. Developing ice powers, the cold didn't phase her. But she still felt a bit nervous. Given that her secret was almost discovered, she had no idea what would happen in the future. But she looked back down and saw Spike, so relaxed and warm in her embrace despite the cold weather. Elsa started to ease. Even if her secret would be discovered, she had a feeling that some would still be by her side.
"Come on, Spike. Let's go home." Elsa said standing up. Spike held Elsa's hand as they both started on their way back home through the winter night.
The chipmunks both watched Spike and Elsa leave, as Dale turned to Chip.
"Come on, brother." Dale put his arm around Chip. "Let's go home, too."
Chip stopped Dale. "Uh...winter?"
Realization suddenly hit Dale as he chuckled. "Oh, yeah."
