I wrote a small drabble/rewrite of the charades scene to fit better into this head canon. I usually don't write, but I thought is was an interesting idea. I hope you enjoy!





As Anna threw her hands in the air and growled, Elsa, Kristoff and Olaf yelled their respective guesses, but Anna just kept gesturing.

"Hans!" Shouted Olaf after several incorrect attempts, and Anna nodded vigorously.

"Unredeemable Monster!" Tried Elsa.

"Biggest mistake of your life!" Followed Kristoff.

"Wouldn't even kiss you" Olaf said just as Sven rang the bell.

"Villain" Answered Anna like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Oooh" They all chanted in realization.

"We all kind of got it" Muttered Olaf jokingly, and Elsa chuckled.

"Come on, we've got to stop joking about Hans at some point" She said consciusly while she hugged the cushion.

"Relax, Elsa, we know we are joking" Anna responded as she sat on the armrest next to Elsa and stroked her sister's hair "Besides, it's all in good faith, I mean, obviously at first I was the least happy to see he came back, but he did apologize, and eventually proved he changed and was worthy of forgiveness".

Elsa sighed and smiled thoughtfully as she rested her head on her sister.

"I just wish he could have stayed" Elsa pressed her lips together staring vacantly.

Anna and Kristoff looked at each other. They speculated something had been going on between Hans and Elsa during the time he spent in Arendelle, but after his departure more than a year ago, Elsa never gave them reason to keep thinking about it.

"Well, he could have stayed, and we even asked him to, but you heard him, he still needed to forgive himself, and then start over somewhere else, a blank slate" Anna recalled to Elsa, still stroking her hair. Kristoff and Olaf nodded, but kept quiet during the sisterly talk.

"I mean, I still hate what he did to you the first time he was here for my coronation, but he isn't the same person anymore. At least he could have let us tell the people of Arendelle of his redemption, that he is our friend now" Elsa complained and Anna chuckled, knowing what her sister was probably aiming for.

She knew the people of Arendelle kept Hans in a bad concept, but she also knew Elsa liked Hans probably as more than a friend, so even if he returned, they wouldn't be able to be more than that, because the people of Arendelle would believe he was still going after the crown.

"I know, Elsa, but he didn't want his wrongdoings to just be erased from the collective memory, he wanted to make up for them, and he did with us" Anna said shrugging.

Elsa sighed and nodded, smiling thoughtfully.

The mood grew lighter and Anna felt like they could keep playing, so she nodded Kristoff to resume where they left the game.

"Alright, Olaf, you're up"

*****

Now, weeks after Elsa left Arendelle to live near Ahtohallan, Anna stood at the balcony facing toward the fjord, remembering that night.

She knew that even if she missed her sorely, Elsa had found her home and her true freedom among the spirits. She also knew that the rumors about the enchanted forest and the people that inhabited it had spread very quickly.

Standing there, enjoying the chilly breeze while wrapped up in her mother's scarf, she couldn't help but wonder. Maybe a certain auburn former prince would hear word about the forest, closed to the world for over thirtyfive years. Maybe he would think it was a place good enough to start over. Maybe there he would find an old friend, and no titles or troubling pasts would stand in their way if they ever wanted to be more than that.

Maybe, just maybe.
