There can also be a sort of prophecy which says that in fifteen years that their memories will come back. However, it doesn't go as planned and their memories come back within ten years instead of fifteen.

My idea to set off the snowstorm is that the wizard is teaching Elsa to make nice things with her power, and she ends up creating Olaf. Once he says, "Hi! I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs!" suddenly her memories of Anna come flooding back. She becomes unsettled that the wizard had never told her any of this before, and he's horrified because he thought her memory was supposed to come back to her much later. She's very upset with him for separating her away from her family for her whole life, and thinks that they didn't care about her, since they had sent her away from them. The wizard tries to assure her that this wasn't the case, but her sadness and insecurity make the control over her powers very fragile, and she goes into a phase where her power completely overcomes her and turns her into an insane, destructive villain (I'm a bit into the X-Men movies, okay?). Their country is tossed into the horror of an eternal winter. In a dream of Anna's, on the night right after the storm had hit, she suddenly has a dream about Elsa. It's almost as if the event had been transmitted from one place to the other. Because of this, she also has her memories come back. Anna knows that she has to go and stop Elsa before the situation becomes worse. The temperature is dropping rapidly, and before they know it the whole place may freeze over. So, while her parents are sleeping she sneaks out of the castle to go and search for her sister. To her family's dismay in the morning, they find their daughter gone. At the same time, the wizard has set out to the castle to warn the royal family of the incident. However, he gets there just after Anna has left, and so he gives valuable information to the king and queen of Arendele. They want to set out on their own quest to find their daughters, but are unable to because they have the kingdom to attend to. However, Prince Hans (who Anna had been engaged to so that the alliances of the two kingdoms would be strengthened), volunteers to go out on the expedition. He knows that this will help to gain the king and queen's trust for him (and no, he is not evil in this version). He doesn't really want to marry Anna, but he knows that it's for the good of both kingdoms, as most royal marriages seem to go. On her way to find Elsa, Anna runs into Kristoff who knows some very important information on where Elsa is currently located and how to get there, since he had been near where she was when it had happened. At first, he isn't too willing to go with her because he's already seen what her power had done, but Anna is able to convince him into going.

Hmm... I'll probably come up with more later. I'll probably have Hans and Elsa fall in love or something xD It would work in this version, anyway. Though Anna will actually act as the protagonist instead of being the cause for the biggest problem in the whole thing. Plus, she will know more about the outside world since she'd been exposed to it through her experiences and hadn't been locked inside a castle her whole life. So, naturally, she'll be more sophisticated and responsible. Kristoff and Olaf will still have the same personalities, of course. And Hans's personality (as well as Elsa's, naturally) will be slightly altered to fit in with the storyline.

Does that sound good so far?
