A/N: Hi guys! This is my very first story, not counting my one-shot series. If you're wondering when I'm going to write another, then your answer is: When I'm inspired to do so. Until then,you can have this story. I hope you enjoy this story, and feel free to review! And so, without further ado, here is the first chapter!

It's A Wonderful Life!

It was a lovely day in Arendelle. The sun was shining, and everyone was going about their daily business. Well,everyone except Elsa, the Queen of Arendelle. She was getting ready to go on a trip to the Western Isles for a week, to do trade with them. Elsa had been up since 6AM in the morning, packing and making sure everything was in check before she left.

"Come back soon!" Anna said cheerfully, just before Elsa boarded the ship that would take her to her destination. Anna was very sad that Elsa was leaving, but she certainly didn't show it.

"I will!" Elsa replied, giving Anna one last hug. Then, she stepped onto the ship, and set off into the unknown. Sadly, Anna ambled away, Olaf toddling along beside her.

"It's alright Anna, I'm sure Elsa will be back soon!" Olaf assured Anna.

"You are very wise for a snowman!" Anna laughed. Who'd have thought that a snowman could cheer up a Princess?" They were left dwelling on that as they entered the castle. Anna went to her room and flopped on the bed. All she could think about was Elsa, and if she could even make it to the Western Isles. After all, we all know what happened to their parents, don't we?

Meanwhile, on board the HMS Crocus, Elsa was having a dreadful time. She had nearly been sick 3 times so far, and she'd only been on the ship for 20 minutes! In an attempt to distract herself, she went down to her specially prepared room and wrote a letter to Anna. After several mistakes due to the ship moving about, she finally compiled the perfect letter-

8th January,1841.

Dear Anna,

I'm having a horrible time on the boat. I keep on thinking I'm going to be sick, and the sailors aren't exactly treating me like a queen! I hope you're managing fine back in Arendelle. I assume Olaf and Kristoff are taking good care of you and keeping you company. However, don't get too excited- I don't want to come back to a burnt down kingdom!

When I'm at the Western Isles, I'll be able to look around and go in the shops- I hear they make lovely chocolate there! If you behave yourself while I'm gone, I might get you some! They also have brilliant dresses, so if you give me your measurements, I can get you a dress too! You never know, I might even find something for Olaf or Kristoff!

When I arrive back in Arendelle, for every room in the castle that hasn't got something damaged in it, I owe you one snowman. So, that's another reason to be good and not break things! I look forward to coming back home, and seeing my favourite (and quite possibly my only) sister again.

Lots of love,

Elsa XxX

Elsa smiled, looking at her message. She would post it when she got to the Western Isles. But then, a loud banging on the door disrupted her thoughts. It was the captain.

"Oy! Get here, intruder!" he snarled. Elsa frowned. Nobody had ever spoken to her like that, and there was a reason why. She had ice powers, and could freeze anything with just a touch. Some people said she was a monster for this, but Elsa just ignored them. She had a much too busy life to deal with them. Elsa got up, and opened the door. To her horror, a sword came flying at her. She managed to duck in time, but she was scared for her life.

"What's going on?!" Elsa asked, visibly distraught. The captain scratched his head.

"Sorry lassie, I thought you were an intruder." the man, Jonas, said.

"Well Jonas, you need to be more careful! I could have been killed there!" Elsa exclaimed. The captain apologized again, then left after the first mate called him on deck.

Elsa didn't know why, but she thought that the whole 'I thought you were an intruder' business was very suspicious. Curiously, she followed Jonas on deck. She hid behind a barrel, and listened. But what she heard scared her out of her wits...

"What are those ships doing there on the horizon?" the first mate asked.

"What ships? You mean those, with the red and white stripes along with lots of stars on a blue background?" Jonas said, confused.

"Yes, those. Pass me the telescope, I want a look." the first mate, Harrison, replied. He was handed the telescope.

"Oh no. This is bad, really bad. In fact, it's even worse than that. Jonas, get the cannons ready. We need to alert the Queen. This is an emergency!

"What is it? What's wrong?" Jonas questioned frantically.

"You know those ships?" Jonas nodded. "They are from the USA, the big country in the East, that sells lots of exotic food. We don't know why they're there, but it doesn't look good..." Harrison said glumly. Everybody gasped in shock."And, even worse, it looks like they might be heading for the kingdom of Arendelle!" Elsa stepped out behind from the barrel.

"My queen!" Harrison yelled frantically. "We might be under-"

"I know." Elsa responded. I heard everything. We need to prepare, as these ships might not be here to wave hello."

"Right away, Ma'am!" everyone on board said simultaneously as they rushed to work. Elsa began to worry. Are they going to attack the ship? she thought. And what about Arendelle? Anna's there... Elsa remained troubled as the ship drew closer and closer...

And... cliffhanger! What will happen to the HMS Crocus? What will become of Arendelle? When will I stop asking questions that even I don't know the answer to? We'll find out in the next chapter! As always, read and review, and I'll see you next time!

"Sometimes I'm weird, other times I'm really weird."
