For their last day at adventure camp, Kirsty and Rachel will be hiking up a high hill with the other campers and then enjoying an end-of-camp party. It’s unusually chilly, so everyone puts on hats and scarves, and it gets even colder on the way up the hill. Kirsty seems to be walking extra fast, and the girls are soon far ahead of the group. A counsellor calls for them to wait, but Kirsty is distracted by a bush that’s sparkling with more than just frost - it turns out to be Caitlin the Ice Bear Fairy, asking if they’ve seen Crystal the ice bear. Rachel says they haven’t, and Kirsty offers to climb a tree to look, making Caitlin realise Crystal’s courage magic must be affecting her. There’s enough ice and frost around that the girls and Caitlin wonder if Jack Frost is also nearby.
When the other campers catch up and the counsellor passes around snacks, Caitlin and the girls take the opportunity to climb higher and look for Crystal. But Jack Frost has found her first and tied a leash on her. Seeing Caitlin, he disappears in a shower of snowflakes, taking Crystal with him. Caitlin uses her fairy dust to turn the girls into fairies and bring them straight to Jack Frost’s Ice Castle, where all the goblins they can find are acting extra scared of the bear - Crystal’s courage magic must be working in reverse. The two Goblins by the doors are arguing over who should go near the bear to deliver the ice lollies Jack Frost asked for, so Rachel asks Caitlin to disguise the three of them as goblins so they can make the delivery and sneak in.
The disguise gets them past the door guards, but the magic is already beginning to fade as they head for the throne room. Jack Frost doesn’t seem to notice; he orders Kirsty to hand him a green lolly. Hoping to distract him long enough for Caitlin to free Crystal, Kirsty offers a red one instead and loudly insists it looks green to her. Rachel catches on, offering a yellow lolly, and Jack Frost grabs the box himself. While he isn’t looking, Caitlin melts Crystal’s ice leash and calls to her, but the bear cub doesn’t recognise her and backs away. Caitlin has to undo the disguise spell, which Jack Frost notices and begins shooting ice lightning bolts at Rachel and Kirsty.
As fairies again, the girls are able to dodge the bolts, but only barely. Fortunately, Crystal growls at Jack Frost and uses her magic to take away all his courage, scaring him so he stops attacking long enough for them all to escape. Caitlin’s magic takes them straight to the Fairyland Palace, where they join the rest of the Magical Animals and their fairies. King Oberon and Queen Titania throw a party to celebrate the animals’ return, and afterwards return the girls to the human world at the moment they’d left. The camp is much warmer now that Jack Frost has gone.Trivia[]
