Fifth Flake [video/action for Goldenrod/4th Wall]

[When Elsa woke up today, she had known something was... different. There was a feeling inside of her that she hasn't felt in months now, a feeling she thought she'd never miss as badly as she did; the familiar him of magic was buzzing under her skin for the first time since she arrived in this land, and instead of dreading that feeling... Elsa smiles. Gathering her things, and without waiting up for Anna, she leaves the Pokemon Center, heading to the north end of Goldenrod, where she knew a small park was, not far from the gates of the city.]

Alright... time to wake up, everyone. I've got something to show you!

[With a quick toss, Elsa releases her team - Snowball, Skadi, Freya, Frigga, Idunn, and Surtr. All of them look curious and eager at Elsa's words, and while Elsa sets her bag down and looks around to make sure that there's nobody in the immediate vicinity, Surtr grabs her pokegear and pokes at it until it turns on.]

Okay... ready?

[After a chorus of agreements from her pokemon, Elsa grins, takes a deep breath, and raises her arms.

For those watching in person, they might notice the weather dropping, even more from its already chilly state. And when snow suddenly appears surrounding Elsa and her little group, it might not seem like too much... except none of her ice-types are moving. In fact, they all look quite surprised.

With a flick of her wrists, Elsa commands the snow to swirl around her in a light flurry. Her smile brightens as another twist of her wrist sends the flurry outward, the flakes multiplying until the ground surrounding Elsa is covered in several inches of snow.

Elsa is grinning like a child now. Just one more test to see if she really does have control after this long... it takes a bit of focus, but she wills the snow to move and shape itself, to breathe, and before the eyes of her pokemon (and human) onlookers, an icy replica of a Charizard - not just a Charizard, but the strange new form Nova had taken in the battle against Archie - spreads its wings and lets out a roar as clear as the real thing..]

Even after all this time, after being so out of practice... I can still control it.

[She looks absolutely overjoyed. Like nothing in the world can bring down her good mood. And her pokemon sure seem to share her enthusiasm, judging by how most of them immediately leap into the little snow drifts surrounding them.]

Then why don't you say it and throw one back, then, instead of sticking to defense?

[Not wasting any time, she'll throw another as the wall fizzles out...]

[Ohhhh, trying to taunt her, huh? Well, if that's what you want, Anna...]

For Arendelle! [She actually dodges the snowball this time, and as Anna reaches down to pack another one, Elsa flings her arm forward, a snowball materializing from thin air and shooting straight towards Anna.]

[Anna tries to be a little bit fancy and throw her freshly-made haste snowball at the one heading straight for her, in hopes that they'll intercept one another's trajectory and overall look really cool when they collide with one another.

...It doesn't work, and Anna takes a shot square to the shoulder.]

This has only just begun..!

Oh, really?

[Another wave of the hand, and this time three snowballs materialize in thin air.] Are you sure you don't want to surrender? I promise, I'll be lenient.

What a ridiculous question! You of all people should know that I don't give up until it's over!

[But three snowballs...there's no way she'll be able to dodge all of them at once, is there?

...Well, it can't hurt to try! There's one more snowball coming Elsa's way, but..]

Yes, but you trust your sister, don't you? That means you should listen to me when I say that this is a battle you can't win.

[Aaaaand Anna's shot is a miss. Elsa brings her hand up, and pauses.]

I'll give you one last chance to surrender, Anna!

It's not done until it's done! Give me your best shot!

If you say so...

[As Elsa's hand falls, the snowballs shoot forward. One heads directly at Anna, while the other two swoop around, coming at her from the sides. A three way attack!]

Oof!

[It's as Elsa said; she didn't have a snowball's chance, and so, down she goes, defeated...she's fine, of course, but if she's going to go down, it's going to be as dramatic as possible, so she's just going to lay on her back, sinking softly into the snow.]

I guess you got me after all...

[For one split second, a bolt of panic lances through Elsa when Anna falls, her mind flashing back to that night over thirteen years ago in the ballroom...

... But she's pulled back before her mind could swirl any further around that event when she sees just how dramatic Anna is being, and she rolls her eyes, letting out a somewhat shaky laugh as she walks over towards her sister.]

I suppose this is where I say "I told you so"....

Go ahead, you beat me fair and square...you're still the snowball fight champion of the world...

[She looks up at her sister from her spot in the snow, with her hand covering an imaginary wound a ways off from where the snowball actually hit her. After all, if it was to be a fight to the figurative snowball death, she'd be remiss if she didn't play out the part.]

But today was the day I almost beat you...

... "Almost".

[Elsa laughs again before sitting down next to Anna in the snow, ruffling her hair.]

Well, if it makes you feel better, I'll let you believe that.

[She leans into Elsa, hamming it up more than a little bit.]

I just hope that you'll make sure to pass on my legacy...

I'll be sure that all the history books remember your name as one of great honor and bravery.

And I hope that you remember me as I was, not as a traitor to the kingdom, but as your loving, witty, selfless, and modest little sister who also happens to be a phenomenal actor...

[Elsa lets out a rather unladylike snort.]

I can't, in all honesty, put "modest" in there. But everything else? Yes, of course.

Good enough for me...I love you, Elsa.

[She says, before making a noise as if she's succumbing to her injuries, then closing her eyes and tilting her head to the side with her tongue sticking out, because that's how people die after getting hit with snowballs, apparently.]

Blehhhh....

[Elsa shakes her head, rolling her eyes.]

I think you've been spending far too much time at the theater back home, Anna.

Oh, come on!

[She says as she sits up, just as quickly as she went down, and pulls her sister down with her into an embrace.]

You didn't think that was a masterful performance? I tried to make it as emotional as I could!

[There's a squeak of surprise as Elsa is dragged back into the snow.]

I-I never said that was a bad thing! [It's hard to talk while she's laughing, but she tries!] Just that it's very obvious that you have!

[Thankfully, she's not alone in that regard; Anna's cackling just as hard, holding her sister tight.]

I just think it's fun! Maybe I should take up drama after I become the world's first Pokemon Master Princess...of course, I'd be counting on you to go to all of my shows!

Was there any doubt in your mind that I would? I'll have a front row seat at every performance, I promise.

I kinda figured you would! And hey, maybe you could help make sets with me and everything! I mean, seriously, look at how amazing that snowman of Nova you made is...

[The snow-dragon gives a happy, rumbling purr, finally glad to be recognized. So happy that he walks right over to Anna, nuzzling right up to her in a dragon version of a hug. Elsa can't help but laugh at the sight.]

That sounds like a fun idea. I'm not sure the theater troupe would like it though, since I'd be taking work away from their set-builders...

Sorry, sweetie, in the heat of my intense battle, I didn't get a chance to tell you how awesome you looked...

[Anna pets the snowy Charizard on the head as it nuzzles up to her..it's so adorable, she can't help but smile back; but then, all of the snowmen Elsa makes are just big sweethearts at the end of the day.]

But hey, it's not your fault they don't have super-cool ice powers!
