Note: Frozen is a 2013 Disney film. In order to understand Elsa's character arc, I recommend reading "Elsa, You Need To Cool Off" first.
A month had passed by, since Elsa and Anna went on their vacation. Elsa had changed a lot since then. Before she went on the vacation, she was too focused on her work. Being dedicated to your job can be a good thing, but Elsa used to take things too far. She often had work on her mind, even when she was hanging out with her sister or relaxing in her bedroom. After going on a week-long vacation, she was able to chill out, when she wasn't at work. Another element of Elsa that had changed was her choice of attire. Before the vacation, Elsa felt the need to wear fancy dresses. She often wore fancy nightgowns to bed and wore elaborate outfits when she was doing mundane things, like playing with her sister or lounging around. However, during the vacation, Elsa had checked out the hotel's nudist room and had learned to loosen up. Of course she was fully dressed and wore fancy outfits, when she was at work and when she went to parties. However, when she was at home, she dressed more casually. When she was having breakfast with Anna or was hanging out in the living room, she started wearing a t-shirt and shorts. Elsa preferred to be cold than warm, for very obvious reasons. Because of that, she had gotten tired of wearing pajamas. She started just wearing her underclothes to bed and on some nights, she didn't wear a single thing.
During her vacation, Elsa met a guy, named Michael. Despite feeling awkward around him at first, Elsa had learned that Michael was a very laid-back, nice, and fun guy. During the past month, they had gone on a few dates. They had bonded quite a bit and were getting along very well. Elsa tried to make it sound like her and Michael's relationship was casual, nothing serious. However, Anna knew her sister well enough, to know that Elsa had a big crush on Michael. Elsa hadn't gone on any real dates before then. Unlike Anna, who had rushed into a relationship with Prince Hans, Elsa took her relationships slowly and carefully.
One afternoon, Elsa had finished her work early, so she was relaxing in the living room, by herself. She was reading a book, when she heard the door opening. She assumed her sister was entering the kingdom and she turned out to be right about that. However, there was something that she wasn't expecting: Anna was naked! Considering that Anna had been outside, Elsa was baffled about why she didn't have any clothes on. Elsa said, "Um, hi Anna."
Anna replied, "Hi Elsa. This afternoon didn't go so well."
Elsa raised an eyebrow and asked, "Did somebody steal your clothes or something?"
Anna said, "No, I went streaking."
Elsa had seen the value of not wearing clothes at certain times, but she hadn't approved of streaking, yet. She thought that it was wrong, because there were plenty of people who didn't approve of nudity and she didn't want to offend them. Also, there were lots of creepy people in the world, so it was best to be careful. Elsa folded her arms and asked, "Why did you do that?"
Anna said, "Like you, I think nudity is a freeing experience. It feels great, so I went for a run. I was hoping that nobody would see me, except for a few passer-buyers and some neighbors, but that's not what happened. Tons of people saw me. Even Kristoff saw me, which was pretty awkward."
Elsa facepalmed and asked, "Not only did you try to go streaking, but you did it in the middle of the day? Did you really think you wouldn't get caught?"
Anna said, "Hold on, Elsa." She went to her room, put on a bathrobe, and came back to the living room. She faced her sister and asked, "Why does it matter what time I go streaking?"
Elsa replied, "If you want to go streaking without getting caught, the middle of the day is the worst time to do that. Tons of people are around the kingdom and the city, at that time. Early in the morning, before people wakeup, would be the best time."
Anna had an amused look on her face, while saying, "I see. I should get out a notepad and keep that in mind, the next time I go streaking."
Elsa asked, "You wanna try that again?"
Anna asked, "What's wrong with that? Don't you like being naked?"
Elsa shyly answered, "Yes." It wasn't something she was fond of admitting, but she wasn't going to lie about that.
Anna said, "I don't think streaking is a problem, as long as people don't see you."
Elsa lightly smiled and replied, "No offense, but it sounds like you failed at that."
Anna looked mildly embarrassed, while saying, "Yeah, that was one of my least successful ideas. A bunch of Arendelle citizens probably think I'm a full-time nudist or I'm so gullible, that I didn't realize I was naked."
Elsa replied, "Whether or not you try that again, is your choice. After all, you're an adult and you're free to make your own choices. However, I think it's a rather risky idea."
Anna smiled and said, "Well I think risks are fun. Obviously risks can lead to bad consequences, but there are times where they should be tried. In fact, I think you should try streaking."
Elsa got nervous at the mere thought of it. After all, she was known as one of the most dignified and well-dressed members of royalty. The thought of streaking in a area where people could see her, was a thought that made her feel uncomfortable. She said, "I don't think I could do that."
Anna had a relaxed look on her face, while asking, "Why not? If you try doing it while everybody's sleeping, you can embrace confidence in yourself and how you look, without having to worry about being mocked and teased by people."
Anna's comforting words made Elsa feel a little better, despite still feeling reluctant about the idea. She said, "Thank you Anna, but I'm not so sure about that."
Anna tried to make Elsa feel even better, by saying, "Do whatever makes you feel comfortable, as long you don't hide who you are. Considering I'm wearing a bathrobe, I might as well take a bath. See ya." Elsa waved to her and started thinking about what her sister had said to her.
The next morning, Anna got up and went to the living room. She looked around and saw that her sister wasn't there. She was surprised by that, because she was used to her sister hanging around the living room or preparing breakfast, by the time she got up. She saw a note, that was close to the door. The note was from Elsa, so Anna started reading. It said, "Dear Anna, You've been right about a lot of things and one of them is me hiding who I am. The risks you've taken have inspired me to go a similar path. I've decided to give streaking a try. I can hardly believe I'm doing this, but you're right about risks needing to be taken, sometimes. I'll probably be out, by the time you wake up. I'll see you later. I just hope our neighbors don't see me. Love, Elsa." Anna looked down and saw Elsa's clothes next to the door. That made her realize that Elsa wasn't bluffing. She was going for a run, naked! Anna had an amused look on her face, while wondering if Elsa would manage to run a few blocks, without getting caught.
Elsa could feel her heart beating. She could hardly believe what she was doing, as she streaked across the city. She didn't bring any items of clothing with her, so if people came by, she wouldn't have anything to cover herself up with. She was worried about that, but she took some deep breaths. Arendelle didn't have as strict of rules, when it came to public nudity, as other countries. However, public nudity was frowned upon and wasn't accepted. She looked around and saw that she was the only person in the streets. Elsa was so thankful that she was streaking in the morning, rather than in the afternoon or evening. It was still dark out, so she was able to sneak around the shadows, which made it even harder to get a good look at her.
Elsa wasn't planning on being outside for too long. She was just planning on walking some blocks and then walk back home. During the first few minutes, Elsa walked carefully and slowly. However, a thought popped into her head. The faster she went, the sooner it would be over. She looked both ways, before she started running. Despite the embarrassment of being naked outside, the breeze felt incredibly pleasant and not wearing clothes was a very freeing experience for her. Part of her wished that nudism was a more acceptable thing. She would still like to wear clothes sometimes, but there were plenty of times where she would prefer to not be wearing anything. She ran across a few blocks, while feeling great. It felt both relaxing and daring, at the same time.
Elsa froze in fear, when she heard a neighbor opening his door. Elsa hid behind a garden bush. She was hoping that the neighbor wouldn't stay outside for too long. Thankfully, the neighbor just opened his house door, so he could grab his newspaper. The neighbor went back inside, while Elsa did a sigh of relief.
Elsa continued her run. She heard a young man say, "Naked." Elsa felt terrified, that the man had seen her. She looked around and saw the man and his brother talking to each other. They weren't currently looking at her. Elsa went behind a mailbox, so they couldn't see her. She decided to listen to their conversation, to find out if they were talking about her.
The young man, named Dan, said, "The swim trunks I got feel so light, that I felt like I was naked. That was not a good feeling."
The young man's brother, Jason, sarcastically replied, "Thank you sharing your charming stories."
Dan smiled, patted his brother on the back, and responded, "You're welcome." Jason rolled his eyes and Elsa couldn't blame him.
Dan had a sleazy smile on his face, while saying, "Hot body." Elsa could feel her heart beating, with anxiety. She feared Dan had seen her body, somehow. Dan smugly said, "I have a hot body." Elsa breathed a sigh of relief, since Dan was admiring himself, rather than her.
Jason said, "I haven't worked out in a while."
Dan replied, "Neither have I. Should we go for a walk?"
Jason responded, "Bro, it's super dark out."
Dan smiled and said, "I like it. It has a gothic atmosphere."
Jason replied, "Might as well get our walk over, before the pesky runners come by. Those guys crowd up the streets."
Elsa nervously whispered, "How am I supposed to hide?" She used the mailbox to cover her up. The mailbox only covered up part of her body, so she desperately hoped, that neither of the brothers knew about her presence. Thankfully, it was dark out and neither of the brothers noticed her. Once again, Elsa breathed a sigh of relief.
Elsa was glad the brothers didn't see her, but she had a new thing to worry about: The runners! Jason claimed there were a lot of runners and they crowded up the streets, which Elsa was concerned about. She started running home, while hoping she could get home, before any of the runners saw her.
