AN: enjoy! i don't own Frozen, Frozen fever, or the picture. Btw, I find that typing out the song lyrics is a pain, and considering that the moost of Frozen fever is a song, this will take place just after that. Frozen Fever is on Walt Disney Animation Studios Short Films on Netflix.
(Ingrid's outfit ingrid_frozen_fe... )
It was late when I finally arrived in Arendelle for Anna's birthday. I knew I had probably missed the party, but it wasn't too late to give Anna her present. Elsai had sent me a list weeks ago of all the things he was getting her and needless to say, it was a long list. I'd sent a response telling him not to work himself too hard, but I wasn't sure if he'd taken my advice. With a small wrapped box in hand, I made my way to the castle. I pushed open the doors (the gates were kept open all the time now) and went to Anna's room.
"Knock, knock," i singsonged and tapped on the door.
A few moments later, Anna opened the door in er nightgown looking half asleep, but she perked up when she saw me and dragged me into her room.
"Ingrid! You made it!" she laughed and hugged me tightly.
"Of course," I said hugging her back," I wouldn't miss your birthday for the world."
I held up the box, and she gasped. We sat down on her bed and I handed her the gift. She took the box and shook it, making me cringe. I hoped what was inside wouldn't be damaged. She tore open the paper and opened the box. Inside was a branch made of ice. Anna looked at me confused. I just held out my hands palms up and made two living bluejays of ice. The birds chirped and flew to the branch in Anna's hands.
"I guarantee they will never melt. Just feed them crushed ice and they'll stay happy all the time." I told her.
Anna set the birds and the branch down on her bed side table and hugged me tight.
"Thank you, Ingrid. They're wonderful!"
"It took me forever to come up with something to get you." I said,"Elsai told me about all the stuff he was getting you... That's the reason I was late."
"Elsai...did go a little over board..." Anna admitted.
" What exactly did he do?" I asked a little concerned.
"Well...he had us follow a string all over the castle and town, giving me gifts the whole time. I could barely carry them all! And then he..."
"And then he...what?" I coaxed.
"He almost fell off the clock tower..." She mumbled.
"WHAT!?" I shrieked and shot up.
"No no no! He's ok! He's fine!" She exclaimed, as I tried to calm my racing heart." He has a cold. Running around all day just took too much out of him. We came back here, and there was a party waiting but I sent him straight up to his room to rest."
"Uh...Anna...I know it's your birthday, but I'm kinda worried...would you mind if I..."
"Go!"she laughed drowsily and pointed toward the door. "He'll want to see you."
I walked over to the door and opened it, stepping out into the hall. I turned back and saw Anna already curled up, asleep.
"Good night, Anna." I whispered and shut the door softly.
I walked through the castle until I reached Elsai's door. I knocked and waited a moment but he didn't answer. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion and pushed open the door. What I saw made my heart thaw all over again. Elsai was burrowed under the blankets, fast asleep. He really was sick. his hair was messed up, his skin was even paler than usual, and his nose and cheeks where red with fever. I walked in, closing the door behind me.
"Oh, Elsai," I sighed and moved a strand of his hair out of his face gently, " I told you not to work yourself to hard.."
I leaned down and kissed his forehead.
"Sweet dreams, my love." I whispered, "I'll see you in the morning."
I started to leave his side,when I felt a tug at my wrist. I looked back to see Elsai awake and looking up at me with tired eyes.
"Ingrid?" he asked.
"It's me. I came for Anna's birthday. She told me yo have a cold." I scolded him and sat on the bed, " I told you not to work youself too hard."
"I just wanted Anna t have the best birthday ever..." he sighed.
"I know, but Anna doesn't care abou getting a hundred presents or a huge cake. All she really wants is her big brother to be there for her instead of behind a locked door. Think you can mangage it?" I asked.
He nodded and got a funny loook on his face."Ah...ah...ACHOO!"
When he sneezed, a mini snowman popped up oon his ead and he groaned. I plucked to tiny creature off his head and held it in my hand. It couldn't have been heavier than a snow ball, and even that wasn't much.
"Awww!" I cooed, "It's soo cuteee!"
"Try having about five of those pop up every time you sneeze." Elsai pouted.
"How many times did you sneeze?" I asked, amused.
"Alot...Kristoff and Olaf took the others up o the Ice castle earlier." he ran a hand though his hair tiredly.
"oh!" I laughed, "Poor Marshmallow!"
Elsai did not look amused.
"I'm sorry, Love," i snickered," but the thought of you being a 'daddy' is kinda funny."
"If that is what having kids is like, then I'm not having children anytime soon."
I rolled my eyes, "What ever you say. For now though,you need rest. I'll see you tomorrow, ok?"
Elsai nodded and I got up. I walked toward the door and opened it, but Elsai called out to me.
"Ingrid?"
"Yes?" i turned back to him.
"I love you." he yawned.
I smiled,"I love you too , Elsai."
