Protoestrella1 gave me the idea for this story and I loved it so I started writing it right away. So here's the first chapter, I hope you like it.
"I can't believe she's leaving me!" Anna complained to Kristoff as she crossed her arms.
"It's not like she wants to." Kristoff said trying to calm her down.
"But she still is. I can't believe she would do this to me!"
"Anna calm down. It's only for a month."
"Only?! That's four weeks! That's like fifty days! Fifty days without my sister, my best friend." Anna was practically in tears now and Kristoff didn't have the heart to tell her that there aren't fifty days in a month.
Kristoff walked over to her and awkwardly wrapped his arms around her. Anna started to cry and she buried her face in his chest.
Kristoff felt bad for Anna. Sven was his best friend and he couldn't imagine a day without him, let alone a whole month!
Kristoff started to stroke her hair to comfort her. After a while she calmed down.
"Anna when does Elsa leave?" Kristoff asked.
Anna sniffled. "Tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?! Why are you here with me? You should be with Elsa."
"But she's busy."
"Not too busy to spend time with her favorite person."
"Who's that? Olaf?" Kristoff couldn't tell if she was kidding or not but when she smiled he knew.
"Go." He said.
"Thanks Kristoff." Anna hugged him before she rushed out of the room to find Elsa.
Anna checked Elsa's study but she wasn't there so Anna went to Elsa's room. She could hear Elsa humming through the door so she knocked her signature knock.
"Come in Anna." Elsa said with a smile.
Anna flung the door open and ran in. She threw herself on the bed. "Hi Elsa!"
Elsa looked down at Anna. "You know you're on my clothes, right?"
"Yep!"
"The clothes I was putting in my suitcase."
"I know."
Elsa laughed but noticed that Anna's eyes were a little red. "Anna have you been crying?"
"What? Me crying...no."
"Anna." Elsa said sternly.
"Ok maybe a little."
"Anna you've been crying on and off ever since I told you I was leaving."
"I know. I can't help it. I don't want to lose you too."
Elsa knew Anna was referring to what happened with their parents. She gave Anna a sad yet reassuring smile.
"Don't worry Anna it's safe." Elsa said even though she didn't believe it.
"That's what Mama and Papa thought."
"Anna I'm sure it's going to be ok"
"You don't sound that sure."
Is it really that obvious? Elsa thought.
"Elsa you do realize you just said that out loud right?"
"Wait, what?" Elsa was confused.
"You had a faraway look in your eyes and you said and I quote, 'is it really that obvious?'"
Elsa blushed and opened her mouth to speak but she didn't know what to say. Anna noticed that Elsa wasn't going to say anything so she continued.
"The answer to your question is yes. Yes it is obvious. And it's scaring me. I don't want the same thing that happened to Mama and Papa to happen to you. I just got you back Elsa and I don't want to let you go."
"Anna..."
"Elsa don't go. Please." Anna begged.
Elsa sat down beside Anna and pulled her close. "Anna I have to go."
"Why? Can't someone else go for you?" Anna spoke so softly now that Elsa barely heard her.
"I wish but as queen I have to go. And it's only for a month."
Anna scrunched her nose. "I'm beginning to hate those words."
Elsa chuckled and kissed the top of her head.
"Elsa?" Anna asked.
"Yes Anna?" Elsa replied.
"Aren't you scared?"
Elsa had been dreading this question. Of course she was scared, she had every reason to be. But she didn't want to tell Anna that. She had to be strong for the both of them but she didn't want to lie to Anna either.
"Anna of course I'm scared but I-"
"Then don't go."
" I have to."
"Why?"
Elsa sighed. "Anna we just went over this."
Anna didn't say anything, instead she just laid her head on Elsa's shoulder. After a while Anna spoke up. "Let me come with you." She said.
"Anna we've been over this too. You have to stay so you can take care of the kingdom." Elsa said.
"But you told me that Kai was in charge."
"I never told you that. Have you been eavesdropping again?"
Anna looked at the floor. "Maybe."
Elsa sighed but decided not to scold her, instead she decided to tickle her.
Anna screamed with laughter as she pushed Elsa's hand away from her stomach. "Elsa stop! I don't want to laugh." Anna said.
"But you need a laugh." Elsa said.
"But I don't want one." Anna pouted.
Elsa started tickling Anna again Anna started laughing. Her laughter was like music to Elsa's ears.
Too bad I won't hear it for a month. Elsa thought.
Anna was making so much noise that they failed to notice two nosy servants standing in the doorway watching them with smiles on their faces.
"Those two are something else, aren't they?" Gerda asked.
"They sure are." Kai said.
After Elsa nearly tickled Anna to death she made up for it by playing with her. But it didn't last long because Elsa still had a lot of work to do.
So while Elsa was working Anna went to her room.
I wish there was a way I could go with her. Anna thought as she sat on her bed. What's holding me back? Elsa said I couldn't go because I needed to stay back and take care of the kingdom but I heard her tell Kai that he was in charge. So that means that there's no reason I can't go! But Elsa will never let me. Anna gasped. I can sneak on the boat!
Anna, content with her plan, got a bag and started stuffing it with clothes. She couldn't use a suitcase because that would attract too much attention and she needed to be stealthy.
When she was done packing she decided to leave Kristoff a note so he wouldn't worry where she had gone. As soon as she finished her note her door opened and a certain snowman made his way in.
"Hi Anna!" He said in his cheery voice.
"Hey Olaf." Anna said.
Olaf noticed the paper in her hands. "What's that?" He asked as he pointed to it.
"It's a note, for Kristoff." She said. "Can you deliver it to him for me?"
"I would love to!" He said as Anna handed him the note.
He started to leave but Anna stopped him. "Olaf don't give him the note until tomorrow and don't read it."
"Ok!" Olaf skipped out of the room and to the stables where Kristoff would probably be. His curiosity got the better of him and he opened the note to read it.
Dear Kristoff,
I am leaving. But don't worry, it's only for a month. I'm going on the trip with Elsa. I thought you should know so you wouldn't worry.
Love,
Anna
Olaf was confused. He knew that Elsa never said Anna could go on the trip with her.
What should I do? He thought frantically. I can't go ask Anna about it because she told me not to read the note and I can't ask Kristoff because I'm not supposed to deliver it until tomorrow. Oh well, Kristoff is going to get this note earlier than he's supposed to.
With that, Olaf ran the rest of the way to the stables.
