A/N: So sorry for the whole missing story guys. I just kinda read through it and felt pretty disappointed. So, what yours truly has decided to do is go through and give a major makeover to the story. I hope you enjoy!
It was about the middle of July. It was a pretty quiet summer day. The sun was shining brightly in the blue sky. A group of friends were hanging out around a cabin in the woods. Elsa was up with a bow in her hands. It was her turn to practice shooting. Merida had taught them how to shoot. Anna, Mulan, and Merida were sitting in lawn chairs watching Elsa practice. Cinder, Sven, and Kristoff were inside with Elinor, Merida's mom, playing poker. A gentle breeze flowed through the air as Elsa focused in on her shot.
Merida shouted which made Elsa jump causing her arrow to fly of center and hit the edge of the hay bale. Elsa looked at Merida flatly who returned the look with a sly grin. "Aww, did I scare the wee princess?" Merida teased in her thick Scottish accent. Elsa stuck her tongue out at the red-headed archer. She copied Merida's accent replying, "I ain't your princess, so why don't you shove off." Mulan and Anna broke down in a fit of giggles as the two girls stared at each other challengingly. Anna decided to end the whole thing. She stood and walked up hugging her girlfriend from behind. "Calm down Dove. She's just messing with you. Isn't that right Merida?" Anna asked giving her a stony gaze. "Aye that's right, just messing around with you. No need to be getting your knickers in a twist."
Anna giggled and said, "Hey well, it has been fun guys, but I need to head home." "I'll come too; you're going to need a ride home." Elsa said with a smile. She set her freshly finished bow down on the rack and went to retrieve her arrows. Merida had helped everyone make their own bows. It had taken a good month or so for them to all get made correctly. "Hold up and I'll go get Cinder. We need to get back as well," Mulan stated before heading inside. Anna gave Merida a warm hug saying, "We'll probably come back over tomorrow." Merida returned the hug replying, "Ok, bye bye."

The walk from Merida's to Elsa's house was a good ten minute walk. Anna and Mulan had fallen behind conversing quietly. Suddenly, they were pulled out of her conversation by a cry of fear. The pair dashed ahead. When they reached the edge of the woods Anna dropped pulling Mulan down with her. Elsa and Cinder were being forced to their knees with a few men in camouflage pointing guns at them. "Are you Arendelle?!" A man yelled with an Asian accent. He was dressed differently than the others. Cinder shook her head glaring at the man. He pulled out a pistol pressing the tip of it to Cinder's head.
"Cousin, stop this!" A woman cried running up to the group, "They're innocent civilians! They're just kids!" The man growled out a few words. "I will take care of them," The woman said in reply stepping between the man and the girls. The man had a stare down with the woman. After an agonizing minute the man replied, "As you wish Kairi. They are your responsibility. Our support from Arendelle relies on this." He then shouted a few unintelligible words. The soldiers saluted and spoke a reply.
The man, Anna guessed he was the leader walked off to a jeep. The soldiers dispersed leaving Cinder and Elsa with the woman, Kairi. She turned to face the pair still on the ground. "Well, come on then," Kairi said looking down at the pair. Cinder and Elsa stared at each other quietly Elsa nodded slightly and the pair stood. "Lead the way…" Elsa said flatly. Cinder stared at the woods towards where Anna and Mulan were hiding. She shook her head slightly and followed the woman Kairi as she walked away.
Mulan started to get up and go after them, but Anna stopped her saying, "We can't go Mulan. Come on, let's go back to the others and decide what to do together." Mulan grimaced watching the trio as they climbed into a jeep and drove off. She turned away heading back into the woods. Anna followed after her eyes glued to the ground.

The girls arrived back at the cabin finding Merida, Sven, Kristoff, and Elinor setting outside. "Hey why are you guys back? Where's Cinder and Elsa?" Merida asked standing up. "Well," Anna started flopping down onto the ground. She went on to inform every one of what had just taken place a good ten minutes ago. "… and now we're back. So… yeah…" Everyone sat in silence letting Anna's words sink in. Sven was the first to break the silence by asking, "So… what should we do?" Merida shrugged saying, "I just vote we wait her for a while… Let everything die down… Then go ahead and sneak into town and see what's up. Maybe find Cinder and Elsa."
"Sounds pretty good to me," Kristoff stated leaning back, "I mean, at least we know Cinder and Elsa are safe for now. So I think Merida's plan is pretty good." Sven just shrugged his agreement. "What if they find us first? What do we do then?" "Maybe wave a white sheet around?" Merida joked. "Yeah real funny," Anna growled softly. "Anna," Mulan teased, "I wouldn't get moody if I were you." "Oh yeah and why is that?" Anna snapped at the black haired teen. Mulan giggled softly replying "Oh no reason… I just figured you'd like to avoid a repeat of March." The color drained from Anna's face and she spoke with a stutter, "Y… you... you w… wouldn't."
"I think we would. Isn't that right babe?" Mulan's grin fell from her face, "Oh… yeah… I forgot she wasn't here." Merida got up and walked over to the black haired teen. She wrapped her arms around Mulan comfortingly. Mulan returned the hug gratefully whispering, "Thanks Merida…"

Anna heard the cabin door fall shut and she heard the sound of someone walking towards her. She ignored them and continued to shoot at the target with her bow. "Hey Anna," Merida said softly as she walked up beside the strawberry blonde, "You should take a break. You've been shooting for a while now. It's not very good for you. Besides, it's pretty late… you need sleep." "I'll be ok Merida… Thanks for checking on me though." "Could you at least stop shooting long enough to sit and have a conversation with me?" Anna thought for a minute before replying, "Sure… I guess."
She set her bow on the rack and went to collect her arrows. She returned and set the arrows on the table. Merida sat in one of the many chairs around the campfire. Anna sat across from her with a soft sigh. "You're amazingly calm considering the circumstances," Merida stated relaxing against the back of her seat. Anna chuckled dryly and leaned back as well replying, "Oh give it a little longer… I'll enter freak out mode pretty soon. This would be the bad mood phase, but you can thank Mulan and my bow that it isn't."
"Speaking of Mulan, what happened in March?" Merida asked. Suddenly, Anna's face was a lot more visible against the dark background. "I… uh… that… we… uh… well… Elsa… a bet… me… prize… and… yeah… If you really wanna know just beg the author very nicely and maybe a bonus chapter or four will be posted on the prequel," Anna said rubbing the back of her neck uncomfortably. Merida was feeling very confused. "What are you talking about?" Merida asked. Anna gave another dry chuckle said, "Oh nothing, just breaking the fourth wall."
Merida just stood up saying, "I'll be right back." Anna watched the dark form walk around to the side of the house. A couple of minutes later Merida returned and sat next to Anna. She set something down on the ground and flicked a switch. A small crank lantern turned on and Merida passed Anna a shot glass and lifted a bottle of whiskey saying, "Here… I think we both need this pretty badly."
-Five minutes later-
Anna sobbed into Merida's shoulder and hiccupped. Merida patted Anna's head with a free hand saying, "There, there Anna… It's all going to work out… Do you need another drink?" Anna nodded slightly holding up her empty shot glass. Merida refilled the small glass and Anna lifted her head long enough to down the shot before returning her head to Merida's shoulder. "Did you (hic) know that (hic) Elsa and I (hic) had our first time (hic) drunk?" Anna asked looking at Merida. Merida filled her own glass and drained it quickly. She sat the bottle down replying, "Well I do now. Come on Anna. Let's get you to bed. I didn't realize you were more lightweight than a feather."
"Wmat dwoes tat meeeen?" Anna asked as Merida helped her up. The Scot chuckled and led a stumbling Anna into the cabin. "Nothing. Just lay down here and close your eyes for a few minutes okay?" Anna nodded obediently and flopped down on the bed. Her eyes drifted shut and she quickly passed out. Merida gave a sigh of relief. "Glad that's over," She stated and returned to her drinking.
