Niall stared at the Sami ice harvester in shock. "Summer?" He sank into wistfulness as he began to ramble his love for the warm season. "Oh, I don't know why but I've always loved the idea of summer, and sun, and all things hot."

Louis, amused to what the snowman was saying, spoke up. "Really? I'm guessing you don't have much experience with heat."

"Nope. But sometimes I like to close my eyes and imagine what it'd be like when summer does come."

Niall sighed happily, beginning to imagine himself in a summer themed fantasy world as he started to sing.

"Bees'll buzz, kids'll blow dandelion fuzz, and I'll be doing whatever snow does in summer."

Now he lay in the sand on a beach.

"A drink in my hand, my snow up against the burning sand, probably getting gorgeously tanned in summer."

The snowman sails smoothly in a little boat.

"I'll finally see a summer breeze blow away a winter storm. And find out what happens to solid water when it gets warm."

Niall tumbles on a sandy beach with sand-snowmen.

"And I can't wait to see what my buddies all think of me, just imagine how much cooler I'll be in summer."

Out of nowhere a seagull joins Niall as they both break out into a tap-dance.

"DA da..da doo. Ah bah bah bah bah bah boo. The hot and the cold are both so intense, put 'em together, it just makes sense!"

The snowman tap dances with a gaggle of seagulls.

"Ratdadat dada dada doo..."

He bounds happily down a grassy hill.

"Winter's a good time to stay in and cuddle, but put me in summer and I'll be a--"

He stops at a puddle, looks down at it, breaks into a smile as he hops over it.

"Happy snowman!"

Niall runs with a checkered blanket that he spreads out, laying down and relaxes as he stares at the sky.

"When life gets warm I like to hold on to my dreams, of relaxing in the summer sun just letting off steam.."

Then Kevin, Harry and Louis join the little picnic that he's making up just in his head holding sandwiches-except Kevin who already had his in his mouth, chewing it casually.

"Oh the sky will be blue, and you guys will be there too. When I finally do what frozen things do in summer!"

Outside of Niall's summer fantasy world, Louis crossed his arms to his chest, blurting out, "I'm gonna tell him." And is smacked by the Prince who stood next to him. "Don't you dare."

Harry didn't want to ruin the little snowman's fun.

"IN SUMMER!"

Niall sings the final note, then straightens up and smiles. "So, come on! Zayn's this way. Let's go bring back summer!" He grabs Harry's hand and pulls him along up the mountain.

Harry giggled, gladly following him. "I'm coming!"

Kevin hops along, happily following the two, leaving Louis to watch them like they were nuts. "Somebody's got to tell him." He muttered under his breath, still confused to why a snowman would want to be in a hot place where he wouldn't last a second in.

Going back into the kingdom of Arendelle, we see a layer of solid ice coating everything. People huddle around weak fires to keep themselves warm. Anxiety running high amongst the villagers and guests.

Like a light in the dark, Nick moves through the crowd. "Cloak. Does anyone need a cloak?" He hands one over to a woman, who thanked him graciously. "Arendelle is indebted to you, your highness."

"The castle is open. There's soup and hot glogg in the Great Hall." He hands the stack of cloaks to a guard and orders him to pass them out. Just then, the Duke approaches him.

"Prince Nick, are we just expected to sit here and freeze while you give away all of Arendelle's tradable goods?"

"Prince Harry has given his orders and--" Nick confidently claims, but gets cut off.

"And that's another thing; has it dawned on you that your prince may be conspiring with a wicked sorcerer to destroy us all?"

Nick's nice eyes turn to threatening slits at the Duke's statement. "Do not question the Prince. He left me in charge, and I will not hesitate to protect Arendelle from treason."

"Treason?!" The Duke was taken aback at that, flabbergasted and quite offended.

Suddenly they hear the alarmed whinny of Harry's horse. It returns alone, bucking and kicking. Nick steps forward and grabs its reins.

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa, girl. Easy. Easy."

Whispering from various citizens who saw the Prince's horse were speculating to what might've happened to him. "Prince Harry's horse./What happened to him?/Where is he?"

Nick steadies the horse, looks up at the mountain, then back to all the panicked faces of the kingdom looking at him. "...Prince Harry is in trouble. I need volunteers to go with me to find him!" He calls out.

Volunteers-some from Arendelle, some from other lands-rush up to offer their service. The Duke as well spoke up. "I volunteer two men, my lord!" He turned to his thugs and quietly spoke to them for only the three of them could hear. "Be prepared for anything, and should you encounter the King, you are to put an end to this winter, do you understand?" With that said, his two thugs glanced at each other then sneered.

Harry, Louis, Kevin, and Niall move through hostile terrain. Wind swept icicles face horizontal.

"So how exactly are you planning to stop this weather?" Asked Louis, who had his attention on the Prince.

Oh yeah...haven't thought about that, yet.

"Oh, I am gonna talk to my brother." He confidently says, unsure with his own plan but he needed to act as if he knew what he was doing.

"That's your plan? My ice business is riding on you talking to your brother?"

"Yup."

Louis, so stunned by Harry's casual plan, doesn't look where he's going and ends up nearly piercing his nose by an ice-spike. He stops shortly, gulps, and moves carefully around the spike. "So you're not at all afraid of him?"

"Why would I be?"

"Yeah." An oblivious Niall pipes up. "I bet Zayn's the nicest, gentlest, warmest person ever." And just like that, he walks right into an icicle, it running through his torso, but he wasn't at all fazed. "Oh, look at that. I've been impaled." Instead, he laughs it off.

Now at a steep mountain face, Harry and Louis hit what looks like a dead end, the face of the mountain going straight up.

The Prince turns his head over to Louis, asking,"What now?"

Louis looks around, sighing, and digs inside his rucksack. "It's too steep. I've only got one rope, and you don't know how to climb mountains."

"Says who?"

Kevin nudges his human friend, who looks up to see Harry trying to climb the cliff's flat face. He found the boy very ridiculous. "What are you doing?"

"...I'm going to see my brother." Harry strained, doing his best to not slip.

Louis watches him searching for footholds and hand-holds.

"I wouldn't put my foot there."

"You're distracting me."

"Or there. How do you know Zayn even wants to see you?"

"I'm just blocking you out cause I gotta concentrate here." Said Harry, even though he was miserably failing.

"You know, most people who disappear into the mountains want to be alone."

"Nobody wants to be alone. Except maybe you--"

"I'm not alone." Louis defended. "I have friends, remember?"

Harry kicks a foot above his head to catch a foot hold. "You mean the love experts?"

"Yes, the love experts!"

The Prince halted to catch his breath and realized he was stuck in a very uncomfortable situation. "...please tell me I'm almost there."

He was literally about six feet up.

"...does the air seem a bit thin to you up here?"

Louis cracked a smile, getting a kick out of him. This Prince really amused him in so many ways. "Hang on." He pulls the rope from his bag, just as Niall steps out from behind a rock and waves to Louis.

"Hey, Kevin?"

And...he still got my name wrong. Louis thought in his head.

"Not sure if this is going to solve the problem, but I found a staircase that leads exactly where you want it to go."

"Ha ha. Thank goodness." Cheered Harry, relieved he didn't have to climb anymore. "Catch!" He drops himself and falls right into Louis' arms. He sees the weird look on the older lad's face and mutters a small, "oops." In which Louis replied with an unsure, "hi...?" Before Harry hops down, brushes off his clothes, and bounds off. Louis watches after him, digging his fearless pluck.

They approach the base of Zayn's mighty ice palace, awing in amazement.

"Whoa..."

"Now that's ice. I might cry."

"Go ahead. I won't judge."

Harry carefully climbs the steps with Niall right behind him, Kevin trying to follow but his hooves keep slipping. He scrambles but can't get traction, so Louis runs to his aide.

"Alright, take it easy. I gotcha."

He settles the reindeer back down the stares and pats him on the head. "You stay here, buddy."

Kevin obediently plops down and wags his tail, watching Louis climb the stairs, admiring the ice details.

"Flawless..."

Harry arrives at the big ice doors, raising his hand but hesitates.

"...knock..."

Niall gestures for him to go on, but he doesn't.

"Just knock..."

Still, the Prince was just breathing in deeply, staring at the door in front of him. Niall noticed Louis now by his side and whispers to him, "why isn't he knocking...? Do you think he knows how to knock?"

Finally, Harry does knock. The sound echoes inside while the ice doors slide open.

"Ha...it opened. That's a first." He goes to step in, Louis following behind, till he gets a thought and stops him. "You should probably wait out here."

"What?"

"Last time I introduced him to a guy, he froze everything."

Louis stared at him in disbelief. "But, it's a palace made of ice! Ice is my life!" He throws his hands in the air to emphasize how badly he wanted to see the interior of the castle.

"Bye, Kevin." Said Niall, the snowman starting to head inside. Harry stops him as well. "You too, Niall."

"Me?"

"Just give us a minute." He tells them, wanting to have a brother-to-brother talk with Zayn without any interruptions.

"Okay."

As Harry walks inside, Niall begins counting.

"One...two..."

Having nothing else to do, Louis joins in, sitting down next to Niall and rested his elbows on his knees.

"Three...four..."

This chapter is 300 words short, but I had to cut it there cause the next scene will have another fricking song and it would make the chapter longer than it should be. So yeah.

Hey...I got oops and hi in there. ;)

Haha, well, looks like this story won't be just seven chapters long. Let's see how many more it will take for us to complete it. :)
