Ok so this is a small mini one shot story that takes place between Frozen and Frozen Fever. It may also lead up into Frozen 2 or sometime in that future. As always this is something that has been circling my head and wouldn't leave me alone until I wrote it so…yea…
BTW virtual cookie to anyone that can guess where the inspiration came from. Hint: it is a movie…
All in the Family
Over the course of the months since the Thaw, the servants were overjoyed to see their beloved Queen and Princess getting along so well, "Oh, you are such a pain!" Came the Queen's angry yell that it could be heard probably all the way in town…well they were getting along.
Anna was fuming at her sister in the middle of the hallway that led to their rooms, "Then why don't you sell me and buy a rabbit instead?!"
Elsa was staring her sister down. She could see that Anna's face was turning red with fury. In all honesty if she was in her right mind frame, she would question two things: One- why would she want a rabbit? The second thing- how did a simple request from her little sister turn into an argument? Never the less though, she was not in her right mind frame, "At least a rabbit would behave better than you!" Oh that was right…Anna's request had come at an ill-mannered time. Granted it was not Anna's fault, however her behavior at the polite denial was simply embarrassing…as in Elsa was in a meeting. Although it was behind a closed door, which means Anna didn't know about the meeting, but then again for her to start singing that song and full out pleading was uncalled for.
"Good! Then you'll be happy cuz it'll be smarter than me too!" Anna fired back as she turned her back on her sister. It was an accident, how was she to know that Elsa was in a meeting?! The open door policy was broken when Elsa's study door was closed and locked! Maybe she had gone a bit too far with the pleading and furthermore playing with Olaf outside the door was not exactly wise…which just further proved her point…a rabbit would be smarter than her.
Elsa was not letting Anna get the last word in on this, "And quieter!" She yelled again as she followed Anna down the hallway. Ok so maybe this argument was getting out of hand, but she was the queen of a country! It cannot be all fun and games, she actually had to get work done.
Anna threw a glare over her shoulder, "You'll like it cuz it's stinky like you!" Not the best insult, but as soon as she entered her room, she slammed her door shut before Elsa could reach her.
"Go to your room!" Elsa yelled completely missing the point of the slammed door and noticing what room the door belonged too.
Anna threw the door open and was met face to face with Elsa, "I'm already in my room!" She yelled back and re-slammed the door. Elsa strode furiously to her own room and slammed the door. Both sisters, unknown to one another yet both completely in sync with one another, had buried their faces into their pillows and let out a furious yell.
Elsa took a deep breath as she pulled her pillow away from her face and sat up completely guilt ridden. That was their first major fight since…well ever. Frowning deeply she shook her head as she reburied her face into the pillow, "Why is this so complicated?" She groaned out to herself, voice muffled by the pillow.
All Anna had wanted to do was hang out, there was nothing wrong about that. She was lonely because Kristoff was in the mountains. Olaf was here still but unfortunately it was Elsa's company she had sought out. Removing the pillow away from her face again, Elsa bit her lip. She had not meant to blow up at her little sister…it was just one of those days and if she could have bailed out on that stupid meeting she would have in a heartbeat. Standing up, she hesitantly went to her door and opened it. Looking down the hall, she saw Anna's door still closed. Determining to not let this brew any longer she exited her room and decided to have a civil talk with her sister. Just as she took a step toward the room, she paused and quickly turned to head towards the kitchen. She'd have that talk after she got a peace offering.
Anna was staring up at the ceiling miserably. Why did she say those things to Elsa? Sitting up she caught sight of two familiar dolls. Getting up she grabs the doll with blonde hair and in a blue dress, "A rabbit would be a lot better than me…" She mutters as she gently combs the doll's hair with her fingers as she sits on her bed. Just then there was a knock on her door, "Come in." Anna called out in misery.
Elsa flinched as she opened the door with a plate filled of chocolate chip cookies, "Hey." She greeted softly.
"Hi." Anna whispered not looking at her sister.
Elsa frowned deeper and motioned to Anna's vanity chair. Anna nodded and Elsa sat, "I am sorry." Elsa said after a few tense moments.
Anna looked up sharply in surprise, "Why are you sorry?"
"I should not have yelled at you like that…you did not deserve it."
Anna sighed bitterly, "Yes I did. I was out of line. I am sorry."
Elsa frowned and said, "Take a cookie."
"I do not want a cookie."
"Take a cookie." Elsa said forcefully this time.
"No, I do not want a cookie." Anna replied just as forcefully.
Elsa and Anna glared at each other for a couple of minutes. Then they started laughing, "Were we seriously fighting over cookies?" Elsa asked gasping for air.
"I believe we were fighting over eating of the cookies." Anna replied.
Sobering up a bit, Anna eventually took a cookie and Elsa took one as she placed the rest of the plate on the nightstand, "So what now?"
"I guess this is where I get grounded." Anna stated her solemn mood back.
"Grounded? Why would I ground you?" Elsa asked surprised.
"Because I ruined your meeting and embarrassed you?"
"It was a misunderstanding. A simple mistake on both sides…"
Anna looked at Elsa in surprise, "I am not grounded?"
Elsa shook her head, "As long as this doesn't happen again. I may be your sister, but unfortunately I am also the Queen, and sometimes me being Queen has to come first. Not all of the time of course, but-"
"I understand, although if you are going to have your study door closed because of a meeting, can you at least put a sign up or something so I know?" Anna asked hesitantly.
Elsa smiled and laughed, "Deal."
Anna smiled and held out her hand and Elsa shook it, "Does this mean that you are not going to sell me to buy a rabbit?"
"Why would I want a rabbit? Anna you are my sister, you are five times better than a rabbit."
"Only five?"
"Oh Anna…" Elsa sighed and laughed softly, "Come on let's build that snowman."
