(A/N): Guess who's back in the Frozen Fandom? THIS GAL! (Don't worry I still love Big Hero 6, and I'm still going to continue Something To Believe In).
I know what you're thinking: "Hey DisneyGleekQueen101, what inspired you to come back and write a new story?"
Well, most of you know that over Christmas Vacation, I went on a family trip to Orlando, Florida.
Yes, I did get to meet Anna and Elsa at Disney World. I also took my 3 year old brother with me to see them, he loves Frozen so much. Anyway, I almost cried when I saw them, but I was also kind of going gaga over them because they looked really beautiful. I didn't get to hug them but I wish I did. My 3 year old brother got to hug Anna and I got so jealous.
We did get to see Frozen Sing-Along too. It was a really funny show, and I was the only one in my family singing all of the songs.
I also bought myself little Anna and Elsa rag-dolls as a reminder of why I came back to Frozen and to never give up.
Yeah, my trip is what got me to fall in love Frozen again.
This story is was inspired by my old Frozen story, The Ice Princess and other Elsa adopting a kid/ Motherly Elsa stories, it's also inspired by the Disney Movie Meet The Robinson, the Don Bluth movie Anastasia, and Annie which one of my favorite musicals and movies.
It's takes during 3 years after Frozen, so here are the character's ages:
Elsa- 24
Anna- 21
Kristoff- 24
Anna and Kristoff are engaged and there might be a wedding at the end of the story and Hans won't be in this story, but a new villain-or should I say villainess will take his place.
Also Elsa is trying to figure out how she got her powers and where they came from.
I know I said this story was going be about Elsa adopting two siblings, eldest was supposed to be born completely ordinary (like Anna) but he/she was very introverted and he/she is cares a lot about his/her little brother/sister and does everything he/she can to protect him/her (like Elsa). The youngest was born with ice powers (like Elsa), but he/she is very happy-go-lucky, awkward, dorky, clumsy, quirky, and naïve (like Anna), but I thought it would be easier if I made her adopt just one kid.
Since this is Frozen there is going to be songs in this, but this going to be a jukebox musical so I'm using songs from Disney Movies, Non-Disney Movies, Musicals, etc.
Also little fun fact, this story was named after the song You're My Home by Angeline Quinto (She's a really famous singer in the Philippines). I might use it in the story.
Summary: It's been 3 years after the Great Thaw. Elsa due to a guilty conscience adopts a 12 year old girl named Ellie, who is a hiding a secret and trying to figure out what happened to her real family. But alas! Their lives could be in danger as an Evil Queen emerges who has a mysterious past. {Post Frozen; Motherly Elsa}
Oh by the way Ice Princess Haters/Nora Haters/Drama Haters/Nora Dislikers/Anti Nora, or whatever you guys like to be called. Look I learned my lesson, I promise I'll be more careful when portraying my characters. But that didn't give you guys the right to spam me, call me names, or tell me my writing sucks. If you guys still wanna complain about the Ice Princess and if that's the kind of person you wanna be, then go ahead be my guest, I can't stop you from doing that. You might of taken the Ice Princess away from me, but there is one thing you haven't taken away, and that's my dignity! I really hope you guys will get your act together!
Well...
[*crosses fingers*]
Here goes nothing.
I hope you guys like it.

It's been three years since the Great Thaw of the kingdom of Arendelle. Now it has been a story that the citizens love to tell for many years to come.
Arendelle's Queen Elsa, who was now 24 years old and born with snow powers, decided that every year on the anniversary of The Great Thaw the citizens there would be a grand celebration in honor of Queen Elsa conquering her fears and reuniting with her sister Princess Anna. At the end of the day there would always throw a Royal Ball and everyone in the kingdom was invited.
Elsa stood in her looking at herself through a mirror. She was wearing a blue colored dress with light blue long sleeves and a long royal blue colored cape with white fur and light blue colored high heels. Elsa's platinum blonde hair was put in what the people of Arendelle like to call, "Her Signature Braid, with a diamond tiara on the top of her head.
She couldn't believe it's been three years.
Three years ago...she would have been a nervous wreck.
All her life she had been told to hide her powers by wearing gloves, after her parents passed away her powers grew stronger. The more scared she felt the stronger it would get.
Three years ago...during her coronation the whole kingdom froze into an internal winter in the middle of July. With the help of Elsa's younger sister, Princess Anna. She was opened up to love thus causing the Great Thaw.
Elsa, Anna, Anna's boyfriend Kristoff, his reindeer Sven, and a magical talking snowman that Anna and Elsa named Olaf lived happily together in Arendelle.
In the end Elsa and Anna had each other. However she always thought there was something missing. Could it be that Elsa longing for a love of her own?
Just then Elsa heard a knock at the door.
"Come in." She replied.
Then stepped in Elsa's sister Anna wearing a ball gown with a blue sweetheart bodice with a gold trim that matched her ballet flats, with off-the-shoulder magenta selves that matched the skirt. On her neck was a diamond necklace. Her strawberry blonde hair was in a bun and there was tiny tiara on the top of her head.
"Hi sis!" Anna greeted, she smiled and greeted her sister with an awkward wave.
Anna did a little twirl. "So...what do you think?" She asked.
Then Anna started shaking her hips. "Ooh la la...my hips are here, my hips are there. Oops, pardon my behind young man, didn't mean to knock you down."
Anna was 21 now, but she was still her quirky-self.
Elsa couldn't help but giggled. "You look beautiful." She stated.
Anna smiled and thanked her sister for the compliment. "By the way have you seen Kristoff anywhere? I haven't seen him all day?"
"He's probably busy." Elsa responded
Anna shrugged. "I guess you're right, with all of his Ice Master and Deliver duties and whatnot!"
Elsa put her hands on her sister's shoulder and reassured her. "Don't worry Anna, I promise you he will be here tonight. He's a good man."
Then Anna nodded her head, she turned around and opened the door, but before she left she said, "See you later."
As Elsa watched Anna leave, Elsa smiled and giggled.
Elsa stepped out of her room and quickly rushed over to the kitchen.
"How's it going down here?" The Queen asked.
"Just perfect!" The castle steward, Kai and the housekeeper, Gerda said in unison as they gave Elsa a thumb up.
"Anne Marie almost finished."
Just then a woman with long brown hair and brown eyes, who was about the same height as Elsa pulled something out of the oven and she placed on the counter. She quickly wiped the sweat off her forehead and sighed. "And that's the last one."
Elsa quickly walked up to her and gave her a pat on the back. "Nice job Anne Marie."
Anne Marie was actually Kai's younger sister. Two years ago, Anne Marie's husband left her for another woman. Queen Elsa and Princess Anna decided to take her in as a favor for Kai, now she was helping out in the castle kitchen.
Anne Marie had two sons of her own, her eldest was Garret who was 14 years old, and her youngest son was Thomas (but everyone called him "Tommy") who was 7 years old.
Speaking of Tommy, suddenly everyone heard a munching noise, they turned around and gasped, we'll all but Elsa.
"Not again." She mumbled.
"Olaf, Tommy what are you two doing?!" Anne Marie asked.
Olaf and a little boy with messy brown hair and brown eyes eating a five layered cake.
"He made me do it!" They both said in unison pointing at each other.
Anne Marie quickly walked over and she picked up her son and she wiped his face. "Sweetheart, that cakes for the ball tonight."
"I know Mama." Tommy replied.
Olaf quickly looked at the foot sitting on the thousands of silver platters.
"Looks great!" Olaf complimented.
"You think Anna's gonna love it?" Anne Marie asked.
"I'm sure she'll love it." A voice said.
Then everyone turned around and saw a tall muscular man with blonde hair and brown eyes wearing an olive green blazer that had epaulettes with golden fringe, brown pants, and black boots.
"Kristoff!" Everyone shouted as he walked into the kitchen.
"So how do I look?" Kristoff asked as he was showing of his outfit.
"You look great." Elsa complimented.
Tommy cocked his head to the side. "You look like a prince."
Kristoff smiled "You think so, huh buddy?" Kristoff asked as he ruffled through Tommy's hair which made him giggle.
"Yeah, there's no way Anna is gonna say no!" Olaf stated.
Then Elsa started straightening Kristoff blazer, but she noticed that his face changed.
"Are you okay?" Elsa asked.
"I-I-I'm just a little nervous." Kristoff told her. "What if something goes wrong?"
"Hey, don't worry. Have you figured out what you're gonna say?" Elsa asked.
"Well...I'm still working on it." Kristoff replied.
"You know what, you should practice with us." Elsa said.
"Um...okay. Anna-" But then Gerda cut him off.
"You should get down on your knee." Gerda suggested.
"What?"
"Yeah, it looks more romantic." Anne Marie and Olaf told him.
Kristoff sighed. "Fine." Then he got down on his knee.
"Anna, will you...uh...marry me?" Kristoff said shyly.
"No." Elsa, Gerda, Anne Marie, and Olaf replied.
"What!"
"'Anna, will you...uh...marry me?'" Gerda asked.
"Yeah Kristoff you can do better than that!" Olaf told him.
"Everyone stop!" Kai shouted to get everyone's attention.
Kristoff got back up.
"Listen Kristoff." Elsa said to Kristoff. "You love Anna and she loves you right?"
He nodded his head. "Just be confident and speak from your heart, tell her how much you love her and that you wanna spend the rest of your life with her."
Kristoff caught on. "Got it! Be confident and speak from the heart! I definitely got this in the bag!"
"That's the spirit!" Olaf said.
Then Kristoff noticed someone was missing.
"Hey Anne Marie, where's Garret?" He asked.
Just then her smile went to a frown.
"Uh...um..." Then she turned Tommy.
"Tommy sweetie can you go get your big brother for me please?"
Tommy nodded. "Sure thing Mama."
Tommy started to walk away to fetch his brother.
Then Anne Marie turned to Olaf and said "Olaf, can you go with him please?"
Olaf nodded and he followed Tommy up to the servant quarters.
As they stood outside servant quarters Olaf said to Tommy. "You stay here little buddy, I'll go get your brother." Olaf said.
Olaf opened the door and he saw that the windows were open and a young teenage boy with brown hair was sitting on the roof.
The snowman jumped through the window and he joined the boy on the roof.
Olaf sat there silent for a moment as Garret's blue eyes were staring at the stars.
"The stars are looking pretty tonight huh?"
Garret was startled, but he quickly noticed that it was only Olaf.
"Oh, hey Olaf." Garret greeted. "What do you want?"
"Well...there's a ball tonight, you should-" But then Garret cut him off.
"Thanks, but I don't want to." Garret told him firmly.
"Why not? Olaf asked as he put his hand on Garret's shoulder. "Everyone is going to be there your little brother and your mother are-"
Garret pushed Olaf away, "STOP TOUCHING ME!"
Garret felt sorry what he did, "Oh Olaf...I-"
"No I understand. You don't like to be touched, I get it."
Garret sighed and said "Look I just wanna be alone, okay?"
Olaf sighed "Okay, suit yourself."
The snowman quickly climbed back into the servant quarters and he left the room, outside Tommy was waiting for a response.
"What did he say?" Tommy asked.
Olaf frowned. "He said he wants to be alone."
Tommy started frowning too "He always says that."
Olaf and Tommy came back into the kitchen.
"Why the sad faces?" Gerda asked.
"He's not coming." Olaf and Tommy said at the same time.
Anne Marie sat down on a stool and she dropped her forehead onto the palm of her head.
"Um...is everything okay?" Kristoff asked.
"It's just, ever since Garret's father left, he's just well...never recovered. I talk to him, but he won't open to me.
Kai put his hand on his sister's shoulder "Don't worry, he'll come around one day. Elsa did."
Then the ball started and almost everyone in the kingdom was there.
Kai announced the names of The Queen and The Princess of Arendelle.
"Queen Elsa of Arendelle." Then Elsa entered gracefully into the Great Hall. "Princess Anna of Arendelle." Then Anna ran into the Great Hall, she quickly waved at everyone and stood by her sister.
Everyone clapped. Immediately festive music filled the room as guest danced across the floor.
Just then Anna heard a "Psst!"
"Did you hear something?" Anna asked Elsa, but her sister just smiled and shrugged.
Then she heard the "Psst!" noise again.
Curious to figure out what it was Anna told Elsa she was going somewhere for a little while.
Anna quickly followed the noise, but it led her to the garden.
It turns out the one that was making the noise was Olaf.
"Olaf, what on Earth are doing here?" Anna asked as she giggled.
Olaf pointed to the right. "Look over there."
Anna turned to her right and she saw Kristoff sitting under a tree with a picnic blanket holding a basket.
"KRISTOFF!"
Anna ran to her boyfriend, and she placed a firm kiss on his lips.
After they finished eating their dinner. It was time.
"So what did think?" Kristoff asked her.
"Oh it was very romantic, but I'm still wondering where you were all days."
Kristoff smiled. He took Anna's hand and they stood up.
"Um...what's going on?" Anna asked.
"Anna." He said. "I love you."
"I love you too." She said to him.
"It's just, three years ago, before I met you, it was just me and Sven. I thought I didn't need anyone else in my life, but then you came along and you changed my entire world."
Kristoff felt nervous again, but he remembered what Elsa said to him. He took a deep breath and continued.
"You're my first love, my true love, my everything. I know I'm not the "Perfect Prince Charming Guy" you'd see in fairytales, and I'll never hurt you like what Hans did-"
"Don't worry Kristoff, I learned my lesson from the whole Hans incident."
Kristoff sighed and he continued. "I love you for your kindness, and your courage. I always have. Your the most...amazing person I know, and I can't imagine my life without you."
Then he noticed that there were tears forming in Anna's blue eyes. Kristoff felt like crying but he had to continued.
"Anna, I love you and I wanna spend the rest of my life with you."
Then Kristoff whistled, and his reindeer, Sven came over and he had a small red box on the top of his head.
Kristoff took the box. He got down on one knee.
Anna was so shocked that she gasped and put her hands over her mouth.
"Princess Anna of Arendelle..." Kristoff opened the box and inside was a ring, he took it out and he handed the box to Sven.
"Will you marry me?"
Anna nodded her head enthusiastically as tears were rushing down her face. "YES! YES! Of I'll marry you!"
Tears started to form in Kristoff's eyes, he felt so happy. His beloved Anna was soon going to be his wife, truly there was nothing that was going to stop them now.
Kristoff slid the ring on Anna's ring finger, he got up and spun Anna around and he gave her a kiss. Then he picked her up and carried her bridal style back to the Great Hall.
"HEY EVERYONE!" Kristoff shouted calling for everyone's attention
The guest started at Kristoff who was carrying their princess bridal style.
"SHE SAID YES!"
Everyone clapped and cheered. Elsa quickly ran up to Anna and her future brother-in-law and gave them a big hug. Olaf, Kai, Gerda, Kai, Tommy, and Anne Marie joined in as well.
However Garret was hiding in the shadows, watching them.
Garret didn't understand why people even bothered with love, if it never last.
Just look at what his father did to his mother, what his father did to his entire family, what he did to him.
Garret was close to his father, he was a spitting image of him. They looked the same, they acted the the same, they liked the same things, but after he left, Garret's world came crashing down.
His mother cried for weeks after what happened.
Ever since then, Garret promised himself he would never fall in love with anyone. He's afraid of getting hurt again.
Meanwhile on the other side of Arendelle was an orphanage; however all of the orphans were at the ball. All but one.
Inside was a 12 year old girl named Ellie.
She had short platinum blonde hair that went up to her jaw, her eyes were blue like the sky, and there were freckles on her face.
Ellie was sitting on her bed, she was wearing a white night gown and a pair of white gloves on her hands. She playing around with her silver locket that had a snowflake engravings on it, the locket was also music box, whenever you turned the little knob on the back of the pendent, it plays a lullaby.
Ellie was put into the orphanage when she was five years old, she doesn't remember what happened to her real family. Ellie's necklace and her music box was the only thing that was left of her family. Deep down inside Ellie believed that her family was still out there. Every night Ellie would let her music box locket play her lullaby and she pretended that it was her mother singing her to sleep.
Just then she heared a voice say: "Ellie." a short old woman named Amelia Kalberg came into the room carrying a tray of chocolate chip cookies.
Mrs. Kalberg was watching over Ellie while her husband Harold Kalberg took the orphans to the ball for the anniversary of the Great Thaw.
"Good evening Mrs. Kalberg." Ellie greeted.
The old woman sat down beside Ellie on the bed. "Would you like a cookie before bed time?"
Ellie shrugged and she decided to take one.
As the young girl was taking a bite, Mrs. Kalberg asked, "Are you sure you didn't wanna go?"
Ellie nodded my head. "No one likes me anyway."
Mrs. Kalberg was shocked at what Ellie told her. "Ellie don't say that. Mr Kalberg and I like you."
She pulled Ellie closer to her. "Listen, somewhere there is a family that will love you."
Ellie shook her head as she pulled herself away. "I'm turning 13 next year, Mrs. Kalberg. No one is going to want a teenager. No one wants me I have no future!"
"That's not true sweetheart." Mrs. Kalberg said reassuring her.
"The only one who would accept me is my real family. I know they're still out there, I feel it in my heart!" Ellie said optimistically.
Then she grabbed her music box locket, and she showed it to Mrs. Kalberg. "This necklace is the only memory I have of them, I know there's gotta be more." Then Ellie pointed to her head. "They're in here, I just have to remember."
Mrs. Kalberg smiled, but then she looked at the grandfather clock they had in the room. "Well, look at the time, you should get to bed."
She tucked Ellie in bed and gave her a kiss on the forehead as Ellie closed her eyes and then she left the room.
While no one else was looking Ellie got out of bed and as she turned the little knob, it played it's song. For some reason whenever the song came on she would hear a voice in her head singing to her.
"On the wind
'Cross the sea
Hear this song and remember
Soon you'll be home with me
Once upon a December"
As she got up out of bed, she started singing along to the song.
"Dancing bears, painted wings
Things I almost remember
And a song someone sings
Once upon a December
Someone holds me safe and warm
Horses prance through a silver storm
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory..."
Ellie started to get carried away and she started to dance around the room.
"Someone holds me safe and warm
Horses prance through a silver storm"
Suddenly she started to pull off her gloves one by one. Suddenly, she started to wave her hands together. Snowflakes suddenly burst forth and dance between her hands, forming a snowball.
"Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory..."
Ellie the snowball high into the air causing it burst and flurried around the room. Then she started to dance around in the snow.
No one else knew this but Ellie had the same icy snow powers as Queen Elsa. She never told anyone about it, she it was probably best that people didn't know. However Ellie wasn't sure how she got her powers, whether or not if she was crushed or born with them.
"Far away, long ago
Glowing dim as an ember
Things my heart used to know
Things it yearns to remember
And a song someone sings
Once upon a December..."
(A/N): Well that was the first chapter for you, sorry if the proposal was kind of cheesy.
So far we've met Anne Marie, Tommy, Garret, and Ellie. We also met Mrs. Kelberg (but she's going to be minor character along with her husband, so they won't be in it that much).
Ellie should meet Anna and Elsa in the next chapter.
I'm not sure if Ellie should have a love interest or not.
She might still be too young for it because she's only 12, but then again it was the 1800s people got together around her age. Also in The Black Cauldron (it's an old Disney Movie that not that many people remember) Princess Eilonwy had a love interest and she was 12 years old. But what do you guys think?
Also don't forget to leave any suggestions for songs, certain scenes, or anything else.
Please Review!
