Hello everyone. This is a retyping of "Modern Vacation". Due to the events of the mid-season finale of season 5 such as Hook turning to the dark side (no pun intended), Zelena having her baby alive and healthy, Violet making her debut and being Henry's love interest, Merida's debut, Emma being stripped of her darkness, Rumple being the Dark One yet again, the Camelot trip and stuff, I have decided to reboot my story to add those things in it. What I wrote before, such as Zelena being locked in the cuckoo hut for trying to destroy Storybrooke in anger over her baby's death, Hook in a wheelchair, all of that will be erased from the tale.

For those who like my Jack Frost character (Nissan), he'll remain, but half of his background will be changed because there were some things about it I didn't like myself and I want to add new stuff to explain him better.

Also, because of Merida's appearance in the show, I was thinking about bringing her back to Storybrooke so she too may get a further taste of modern things like the Arendelle royals did before and will again. They never showed her reaction to our things like they did with Elsa and Anna.

As I said when I first started with this story months ago, half of my story is semi-canonical and whatever bad things that happen in the upcoming second half of season 5 and beyond, (i.e. Hook being killed and Emma staying as Dark Emma forever though they better not do that in the show) if this story is still in progress by then, will be ignored. We're not perfect, ya know.

Anyway, here's the new "Modern Vacation" story. As Elsa once said, "Are you ready?"

CHAPTER 1

Arendelle. 12:00 p.m.

Elsa was sitting in her office finishing some paperwork when someone knocked on her door in a rhythmic style. It was her lovable, goofy sister Anna.

"Come in, Anna." said Elsa.

How did Elsa know it was Anna? Simple. The princess used the same knocking pattern she used as a child when Elsa used to stay in her room 24/7. It became her signature knock and it was Anna's way of letting Elsa know who it was and ditto for Elsa.

Anna opened the door and stepped inside.

"Hi Elsa. Whatcha doin'?" Anna asked in a child-like voice, making Elsa smile at her sister's silliness.

"Just finishing up some paperwork for the day." Elsa answered.

"I see." said Anna.

"How's Kristoff doing?" Elsa asked.

"Oh, he's doing swell. Sven left him a big 'surprise' in his stable and he's cleaning it up right now." said Anna. A chuckle threatened to escape her lips.

"Does he need any help? I can send a servant to help him." Elsa offered.

"That's what I asked him, but he said he preferred to do it on his own. According to him, he's used to dirty work. You know, living with rock trolls, working with ice, sleeping in sheds, barns, forests, wilderness stuff. He's a prince now due to his marriage to me and lives here with us, so he can call for a servant or maid anytime he wants, but, like he said, and me just now, he'd rather do his chores without help from anyone except Sven."

Anna then thought of something.

"Hopefully, he remembers to wash his hands before he eats anything!" Anna said, shuddering and giggling at her statement.

I'm sure he will." Elsa said, also beginning to feel herself about to laugh.

When Elsa finished her work, she stood up from her chair to stretch.

"Ahh, that feels good." she said with much comfort. All the time she spent sitting really wore her back and butt off it felt really good to stand.

"So now that you're done, what do you say we go into town and grab a bite to eat?" Anna suggested.

"I could have someone prepare lunch for us." Elsa said.

"Nah. I was thinking we take a break from castle food today."

"Hmm, good point. Alright, we'll go with your idea." Elsa said.

A servant was called in to take Elsa's finished documents and was told about what they were going to do now.

When the servant left, the two royal women made their way out of the castle and into the village.

Several civilians noticed and gave bows and greetings to their queen and princess as they strolled by.

They found a shop that served sea foods and they entered.

The shopkeeper greeted the two sisters and took their orders. Elsa ordered a salad with tea while Anna ordered a fish sandwich, her typical choice. The sandwich part, not the fish.

As they ate, Anna thought of something.

"Hey Elsa." Anna said.

"Hmm?" Elsa asked, her mouth full.

"How did you like staying at that other place?"

Elsa swallowed and asked, "What other place?"

"You know, that funny-looking world where you magically brought Kristoff and I with your necklace last year. What was it called?" Anna asked.

Elsa realized what Anna was talking about.

"You mean Storybrooke?"

"Yes, that's the one."

Elsa stopped eating her meal for a moment to gather herself.

"My experience in that realm was alright. I admit I was quite frightened by Storybrooke at first. I had no idea such a place existed and I didn't know where I was or how I got there. I calmed down once I met Emma Swan and she introduced me to her family and friends and, like everyone here, I was accepted there too."

"Yeah, I remember Emma. She helped keep you safe when you were stuck in that town. How'd you and her meet?"

Elsa remembered and told Anna how her first encounter with Emma went.

When Elsa finished, Anna had a question for her.

"Wait, if you and Emma were trapped in your own ice cave and were separated from her father and that man with the hook for a hand, how'd you speak to them?"

Elsa told her about using Emma's radio which Elsa referred to as a small talking device.

"You miss her and Storybrooke, don't you Elsa?" Anna asked her, sensing Elsa's feelings on the topic.

Elsa looked her in the eyes. It was true. Elsa really did miss Storybrooke and the woman who assisted her during her time there.

"Yes I do. When we found the magic door that brought us back to Arendelle, I was sad about leaving and being unable to return ever again because the door disappeared after we used it. At least I got to meet her and see what her home realm was like. It was amazing, confusing but amazing." said Elsa.

"Too bad I didn't get to know Storybrooke as much as you did Elsa. You were lucky." said Anna.

"I wish I could go back to Storybrooke." said Elsa. This time, she had no wishing star to make her wish come true.

Anna got an idea.

"I think there's a way we can." she said.

Elsa's eyes brightened up. "What? How?"

"Why Grandpabbie, of course. We should go see him after this and ask him." said Anna.

"You think he can find us a way to return to Storybrooke?" Elsa asked.

"Doy! Of course he can. He's a magic troll. If he can erase or change memories and harvest them inside magic stones, I'm pretty sure he can cook up a portal or a door or some other third thing that leads to Storybrooke. Wouldn't it be wonderful? We can see Emma and her family and friends again and we can do Storybrooke-related stuff there and enjoy ourselves! We could call it a vacation. After all the work we do around Arendelle, I figure we deserve a break and travel there as our getaway from all this royal stuff." Anna said.

Elsa thought about it. She would most certainly love to see Emma Swan again and show Anna all that she missed before she was transported to Storybrooke. Even Elsa herself was itching to try some things she didn't get to do because of the fight against their aunt Ingrid back when she was vicious because of her own family issues. Despite all that, Elsa missed her too. What happened to her was not fair.

"Okay Anna. We'll go and speak to Grandpabbie about sending us to Storybrooke. I could have someone watch over Arendelle in our absence. It's been done before and by that, I don't mean Hans or his brothers. They don't count at all." Elsa said.

Anna shuddered at the mention of Hans' name. It was like hearing a bad tune. Hopefully, the disgraced prince had given up on his hopeless crusade of conquering Arendelle just because he can never be king back in his own country.

"If this works, can Kristoff come along?" Anna asked, wanting Kristoff to join them.

"Sure. He needs to see what I saw too." Elsa confirmed.

"Yay!" Anna cheered and started eating her sandwich quickly, much to Elsa's amusement. The princess really wanted to finish fast in order to leave as soon as possible. While Elsa also wished to depart quickly to achieve their new goal, she took her time with her salad.

Elsa imagined Anna's reactions to Storybrooke's culture and it was funny to her.

Here I go again. Some parts will remain, some will be changed. It's time to bring them back to Storybrooke for some fun and adventure.
