Hi, first of all, MERRY CHRISTMAS! This is just a, rather large, one shot I created this morning at 5:30am so please allow for some errors. This doesn't really have any Jelsa in, sorry I love them too, but has some cute Olaf! Oh, if anyone guesses where the cook and maid come from and what she is referring to as 'last time' you are awesome. Also, the name Freya, used later, is derived from the Norse Goddess Freyja, just so you know it wasn't completely random! Now on with the story, please read and review feedback is greatly appreciated!-Lexi x

It was Christmas Eve in Arendelle. All was quiet.
CRASH.
That is, it was quiet, except for in the castle kitchens, of course, who were busy trying to fit fourteen turkeys into an oven (actually, make that thirteen; one was just dropped on the floor). It was going to be a long night.
PAGE BREAK
Crash.
Elsa sat straight up in bed. The sound of a turkey (frozen, thanks to her own magic) being dropped resonated through the castle. She quickly threw on her pale blue nightgown and hurried down the stairs, almost knocking over Anna on the way as her little sister stepped out of her own bedroom.
'What was that?' asked Anna.
'I have no idea' came the reply. 'Anna, you really shouldn't be out of bed in your condition,' stated Elsa, forever worrying about her younger sister, especially after what happened last year. It still haunted the both of them.
'Elsa, I'm fine. Stop worrying so much, it's not like getting up in the middle of the night to investigate strange sounds is going to hurt the baby.' Anna and Kristoff had found out that she was pregnant only a few weeks ago, so the bump was only just starting to show.
Elsa just gave her a look, which meant 'no arguing'.
'Fine, I'll go back to bed,' huffed Anna, exasperated, walking back into her room. She found Kristoff still asleep in their bed. Jeez, how did he not hear that? She wondered to herself, climbing back into the warmth of their bed.
Downstairs, Elsa was nearing the kitchen and as she did so, she heard yelling and all sorts of language coming from the cook and his assistant.
'YOU IMBECILE! LOOK WHAT YOU HAVE DONE! DINNER IS RUINED!' came the cook's rantings.
'IT WASN'T MY FAULT I SLIPPED!' yelled his assistant, right back at him.
'Louis, calm down this instance, you'll wake up the entire castle. This is just like last time!' came, the hushed tones of the maid, attempting to calm down the frantic cook. Then, out the corner of her eye, she saw Elsa watching the commotion with an amused, albeit slightly confused, look on her face.
'Your Majesty' said the maid, curtsying deeply and glaring at all the other servants to do the same. 'How may we help you?' she asked.
'I wanted to see if everything was all right, Carlotta. I heard this terrible crash.' Came the reply from the Queen.
Carlotta went pale at these words. Did we wake the Queen on Christmas Eve? Oh dear, this was going to have serious repercussions, she thought to herself.
'We didn't wake you, your majesty, did we?' she asked, tentatively.
'No no, of course not. I just wanted to see what happened to cause such a racket.' Elsa asked, politely.
'Oh' said Carlotta, relieved. 'We were just having trouble with one of the turkeys, your majesty.'
'Very well. I will leave you to it then. Goodnight everyone,' said Elsa, turning with a swish of her gown to head back up to her now cold and lonely bed. Lonely? When have I ever been worried about being lonely? I'm not lonely, I have my sister. She thought, but a little voice in the back of her head was saying but she has Kristoff now, and the baby too. So how will she ever have time for you?
'No, stop it! I'm not lonely!' Realizing that she had said this out loud, Elsa quickly looked around and ran up to her room, slamming the door and locking it quickly. She collapsed on the bed; she would need her energy for tomorrow, making it snow and all that.
PAGE BREAK
It wasn't the morning sun that woke Elsa that morning. No. It was her sister sneaking into her room and jumping up and down on her bed like she was a child again saying 'It's Christmas, it's Christmas' over and over again. When this didn't stir Elsa, who was pretending to be asleep, Anna leaned in close and whispered in Elsa's ear 'Do you wanna build a snowman?' just like she did all those years ago. With that, Elsa smiled, sat up and producing a snowball out of thin air, hurled it at her sister, laughing when it hit her bang splat in the face.
'Hey, no fair!' yelled Anna, wiping snow off her face, whilst still laughing.
'Get out of my room so I can get dressed and then we will have a proper snowball fight!' retaliated Elsa.
'Ooh, yay!' squealed Anna like a little girl. 'I'll go get Kristoff, Sven and Olaf, if I can find them all.'
'He'll be in the tower,' said Elsa sadly. 'He spends all his time up there at the moment.'
'Maybe he's lonely,' suggested Anna. 'He is the only living snowman around.'
'You're right,' said Elsa, her face the picture of concentration.
'What are you thinking?' asked Anna, having seen that face many times before.
'Get Olaf and bring him down. I have a surprise for him,' replied Elsa, cryptically. Anna's face was scrunched up in concentration as she was trying to think what the surprise could be. Her face suddenly lit up as she realized. Elsa giggled at the look on her sister's face. Anna, raced upstairs to find Olaf and bring him outside.
Elsa walked out into the snow and began concentrating on her magic, letting it flow through her until…
'Hello?' Elsa looked down to where the voice had come from to see a snowman, or rather snow-woman, looking up at her.
'Well, hello there,' replied Elsa warmly. She quickly created a snow flurry for the snowman to keep them alive. 'What's your name?' she asked.
'Freya, my name is Freya,' the small snowman replied.
'Well hello Freya. I am Queen Elsa of Arendelle and there is someone I'd like you to meet,' replied Elsa, moving aside so Freya could see Anna walking towards them, chatting to Olaf. When Olaf saw them, and saw what Elsa had done for him, he lifted his head up off his shoulders and ran as fast as he could towards Elsa and the new arrival.
'Hi, I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs.'
'No way! I'm Freya and I like warm hugs too!' With that, the two snowman embraced with produced a small 'aww' from Anna.
'Thank you so much Elsa, for giving me a companion. I'm not lonely anymore,' said Olaf, the gratefulness clear in his voice. However, at the words lonely, Elsa suddenly realized how lonely she was. She was the only person not to have anyone who loved her, apart from her, now extended, family.
'Elsa, come on!' shouted Anna, who was already building snow fort with Kristoff and Sven.
'I'm coming, I'm coming,' replied Elsa but she stopped. She thought she saw something out the corner of her eye. It looked like a boy in a blue jumper, with bare feet, a staff and grey hair. She turned but he was gone. She was brought back to reality by a snowball slamming into her face and Anna's laughter. She quickly retaliated by throwing her own snowballs, all the while, thinking about that boy she thought she saw; he was quite handsome really.
They had been outside for over two hours and came back inside, dripping wet but laughing. They each went their separate ways, to their rooms in order to get ready for the Christmas lunch, which would prove to be an interesting affair, because a boy, with tousled grey hair and a staff would be watching her, and maybe, just maybe, she would notice him.
