I've had this idea in my mind for a while, and I'm just now getting it written out. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do.
Jesselyn had thought of marriage, as most girls had. She wondered what her groom would be like, how her dress would look, and had planned all the aspects of the magical day in her mind. But the day her mother told her she would be getting married, to a man she had never met, all those thoughts vanished, and panic set in.
Her soon to be husbands name was Nathaniel, the Prince of Aldia. Jesselyn had seen him, at royal gatherings, but she had never truly met him. From the glimpses she had caught, she could tell he was rather handsome. She had constantly heard other royals her age talking about his looks, from what she could tell his most striking feature were his bright green eyes. Though the only feature she had ever truly been able to make out was his dark chocolate brown hair, that was short and well kept.
Currently Jesselyn sat in the library in her cousins' castle. Her cousins Queen Elsa of Arendelle and Princess Anna of Arendelle, had gladly agreed to Jesselyn visiting them for a few weeks. Her mother and her had been in a strained relationship since she had informed Jesselyn of the wedding, and finally she had decided that a break was exactly what they needed.
Jesselyn looked out the window into the courtyard of the castle. There she saw Anna and Kristoff sitting on the edge of one of the two fountains. Sven was currently chasing Olaf around the courtyard as Olaf held a carrot in his wooden hand. She smiled, Olaf had become a close friend of Jesselyn's in the few days she had been at the castle.
The two shared many common interests despite their obvious differences. Jesselyn's first day in the Arendelle was spent in the castle garden, admiring the beautiful flowers. Elsa had been in meetings the entire day while Anna and Kristoff had went into town to spend the day together. While Jesselyn had been admiring the bright, freshly blooming tulips, she had heard a small voice, talking about all the beautiful flower colors. She had followed that voice to see the small snowman talking to Sven about the flowers. When Olaf noticed her, he immediately broke into a huge, buck toothed grin.
"Hi, I'm Olaf, and I like warm hugs," he had said, coming up to her and extending his small branch arm towards her.
Though Jesselyn had been startled by the sight of a talking snowman, she had already known of his existence. Anna had sent her letters upon letters about life in Arendelle after the Great Thaw. She had spoken about how she and Elsa had began spending time together once again. She had went on for two pages about her relationship with Kristoff, and she had ended with writing about how she thought Jesselyn and Olaf would have been great friends.
Jesselyn had smiled warmly at the small snowman, "it's nice to meet you Olaf, I'm Jesselyn. I'm Elsa and Anna's cousin."
The snowman smiled and immediately the two got into a conversation about the lilacs that had yet to bloom. Jesselyn then began feeding Sven carrots as Olaf began picking flowers. After a whole bag of carrots were gone, Olaf had gone up to Jesselyn and had given her the flowers, a shy smile on his face.
"Only the prettiest flowers for the prettiest girl."
After that Jesselyn and Olaf went for walks through the garden almost everyday, though on days when the weather was less than kind, they sat around in the library as Jesselyn read her favorite fairytale stories out loud to Olaf as he sat in front of her on the carpet.
"There you are Jesselyn," Elsa said as she entered the library.
Jesselyn turned and smiled at her cousin, "is there something you needed," she asked.
"Anna suggested we have a picnic in the gardens, would you like to join us?"
"Of course, that sound wonderful." Jesselyn stood up and walked along side Elsa towards the gardens.
When they entered the small clearing of the gardens, Jesselyn saw Anna and Kristoff sitting on a large red and white checkered blanket with a picnic basket in between them. Anna smiled as she and Elsa sat down.
"Where are Sven and Olaf?," Jesselyn asked. Usually whenever they ate outside like this he was hovering over Kristoff's shoulder, most likely praying to be fed a carrot, and Olaf was usually relaxing in the grass.
"No, he and Olaf are in town," Anna said as she began unloading the picnic basket. "Why do you miss Olaf?" She asked after seeing Jesselyn's slightly disappointed look.
Jesselyn's cheeks turned a light shad a link upon hearing this, "no, I was j-just curious."
"Then why are you blushing?" Anna asked, raising an eyebrow at her.
"I'm not blushing," she defended, attempting to hide her face with her bangs.
"You're blushing," Kristoff said as he took a bite of his sandwich.
Jesselyn put her head down a little more and bit into her sandwich. Anna didn't say anything else, and she and Kristoff got into a conversation between the two of them and Elsa sat and ate in silence.
When they had finished all the food and had cleaned up, they all went back into the castle. Kristoff decided to go into town and find Sven, leaving Anna, Jesselyn and Elsa alone in the library.
"Jesse, I'm sorry for teasing you like that," Anna said sincerely.
Jesselyn simply smiled, "it's alright Anna," she looked out the window and saw Olaf playing with a few children in the courtyard, "actually can I ask you both something?" She said quietly, glancing at her cousins.
Both nodded, "of course you can," Elsa said, offering a smile.
"Just please don't freak out, but," Jesselyn trailed off. Her eyes once again catching glimpse of Olaf. From the window she could see the smile on his face as he ran around with the children, "I think I may be falling in love with Olaf."
Both Elsa and Anna's eyes widened, they glanced at each other before moving to stand next to their cousin by the window. "Are you sure?" Elsa asked.
Jesselyn shook her head, "I'm not sure, I bet you both think I'm crazy," she moved away from them and fell back into a chair, "but whenever I'm with him, I can't stop smiling, I get butterflies in my stomach."
"Are you sure you love him?" Elsa questioned.
"Elsa, I think she does. Even though Kristoff and I have been together for awhile, I still feel that way when I'm with him," Anna said sitting down next to her cousin.
"But none of that matters, he's a snowman, and I'm a human," Jesselyn said, running a hand through her hair.
"Maybe it's not actually love, maybe it's just nerves," Elsa suggested, "you are getting married in two weeks, to a stranger at that."
Jesselyn nodded hesitantly. Though she tried to convince herself that, that's what was happening, in her heart she knew it wasn't nerves. She was in love with Olaf the snowman, after a week of knowing each other and constantly spending the days together, she had fallen for the cute and adorable snowman.
"I think you're right," she said, only saying it to ease the mind of her cousin. From her seat she could see that ice had begun to form on the carpet, and she could tell Elsa was tensing up. "I think I'm going to go to bed."
Jesselyn pushed herself out of the chair, not allowing either of her cousins to say anything else. As she exited the library, she ran into Kristoff who smiled at her. She returned it but continued on without a word towards her bedroom.
She immediately went to closet after entering her room. Slipping out of her dress she pulled on her nightgown before sitting down at the vanity. She slowly began brushing through her brown locks, her mind wandering.
When the door to her room opened, she turned, her cheeks flushing a light pink as she saw Olaf standing in her doorway. "Hello Olaf."
"Hi, Anna told me you were going to bed," Jesselyn nodded, setting down her brush, "I just wanted to say goodnight."
"Thank you Olaf," he smiled and nodded before waving happily and skipping out of the room, quietly closing the door behind him.
Jesselyn groaned and placed her elbows on the vanity, letting her forehead rest on her palms, "what am I going to do?"
She reluctantly got up and went to her curtains. Through her window she could see the courtyard, which was currently empty due to the fading sun. She pulled the thick curtains closed, darking the large room. Her feet slowly carried her to her bed, she fell onto her stomach and curled up against a pillow, not even bothering covering up with the large comforter, before falling asleep.
Hope you all liked this, next chapter will hopefully be up soon.
