Author's Note: Here I go, starting another fanfiction. I have been neglecting my other fanfictions some, but I think that I am ready to jump onto this whole Frozen/Tangled crossover bandwagon. They're my two favorite Disney princess movies, and I decided to create my own take on just how Rapunzel and Eugene ended up in Arendelle for Elsa's coronation, and this fanfiction is what is coming of it.
I did some research on the names of Rapunzel's mother and Anna/Elsa's mom, and I did find some places that said the queen of Corona's name is Primrose. I never actually found real, solid proof of that, so I have decided to give her another name. If anyone does find actual, real proof of that being her name, go ahead and tell me. I would love to hear from you.
I have a plot ready to go with this story, and it's going to end up being a chapter story that follows the life of the mothers of Rapunzel and Anna and Elsa as they grow up, fall in love, and become mothers. I plan on the story continuing until the events of Frozen, and for it to have at least thirty chapters. Thank you for your interest in this story, and I hope that it is a different and fun take on what connects Rapunzel, Anna and Elsa. Enjoy!

12/31/2014 Update: This story has not been touched for several months, but it's for good reason. Last summer I recruited an amazing beta reader, RandomButLoved, and they have helped to transform this story into one that I am now very proud to have published on this website. I will be replacing Chapters 1-10 with the new versions of each chapter, which will be much more exciting to read. Also, additional chapters will begin to be posted once more, so prepare yourselves for new chapters that will continue to follow the adventures of Clara and Kath.
And, of course, HUGE thanks to RandomButLoved! I love working with you, and you have been amazing through all of the chaos of the last few months, and you have been so patient with my crazy schedule! Thank you so, so, so much! :)
"Take that, you evil dragon! I am the mighty warrior who has come to save the kingdom from your evil clutches!" Five-year-old Princess Katherine, born in Corona picked up a handful of mud to throw at the "dragon." The young girl stared defiantly at the tree she had been pretending was a dragon, then picked up a stick she found lying on the ground, and began to charge at the mud-covered tree. As she ran through the mud puddle, she tripped and fell with a shriek. Mud splattered around her, reaching the skirt of her older sister, Clara.
"Kath, you're making a mess," Clara pointed out, crossing her arms in a similar fashion to the one that their mother used during a lecture. The older princess backed away, picking her skirt up out of the mud with a groan. Kath grinned at her six-year-old sister.
"Do you want to help me defeat the evil dragon that's taking over the kingdom?" the five-year-old asked innocently. Clara rolled her eyes and backed away a few more steps.
"Kath, we are princesses. Princesses don't throw mud at trees," Clara stated, sticking her chin out stubbornly. "Mother says that we mustn't get dirty, especially when we are in new dresses."
Kath stuck out her bottom lip. "But it feels so squishy and slimey and it's fun. Will you please play with me, Clara?" The younger princess stood up out of the mud puddle, and quickly approached her sister, grabbing Clara's clean hand before she could pull away.
Clara hesitated, looking at her mud-covered sister, then at her own lavender gown. There was already mud splattered along the bottom hem, and if Kath came any closer to her, it would surely get even more mud splattered onto it.
"Please?" Kath pleaded, tugging on her sister's hand.
"Oh, fine," Clara said, a smile appearing on her face. "Just let me take off my slippers so that they don't get—"
The princess was unable to finish her sentence, as Kath had already pulled her head-first into the mud-pit. Clara let out a scream that quickly turned into squeals of laughter as the sisters took turns throwing mud at the tree, and eventually each other, before they finally began making "mud-angels."
Before long, they heard someone clear their throat. The princesses looked up to see the queen, their mother, with her arms folded across her chest.
"And what do the princesses of Corona think they're doing?" the queen questioned. The pose that the queen held was one almost identical to the one that Clara had assumed earlier when she had first found her sister playing in the mud. A tiny smile tugged at the corners of the queen's straight mouth. Clara and Kath looked at each other, neither of them answering their mother.
Finally, Clara stood up, and took her sister's hand to help her up as well. "I'm sorry, Mother," she said, looking up into her mother's eyes with remorse. "It was my fault. I asked Kath to play in the mud with me."
The queen raised her eyebrows, not believing what her older daughter had said, but she didn't question Clara's statement. "You both know better than to play in the mud. Those dresses were brand new, and now they are ruined. I'm going to close my eyes and count to three, and by the time I open them, I don't want to see any dirty little princesses in my sight. I want you two to both go inside and go to the servants' baths to wash up, then back to your rooms for the rest of the night. Understand?"
Clara and Kath both nodded, hurrying away from their mother before she even reached one.
Several hours later, the two princesses had bathed, changed into more casual clothes and had their long brown hair brushed and left to dry. Clara and Kath sat on the floor of their bedroom, playing with their dolls in a much more sensible manner compared to the mud war they had engaged in earlier.
"I don't get why Mother never wants us to get dirty," Kath said, putting her doll down and laying back on the floor.
"She wants us to be ladies," Clara answered. "Because someday I'll be queen of Corona, and queens definitely do not get dirty." Clara placed her own doll down next to Kath's, and laid down on the floor next to her sister.
"Well, why not?" Kath questioned, her bottom lip pouting.
"I don't know," Clara admitted with a shrug.
The sisters didn't talk for several more minutes, each encompassed in their own thoughts. Eventually, Clara's stomach growled.
"I want some chocolate," she stated staring at the ceiling.
Kath grinned. "I smelled chocolate-chip cookies in the kitchen earlier."
Clara stood up and said, "Let's go and see if we can sneak in and get some." Kath giggled and followed her sister out the door. The two made their way to the kitchen, and stopped just outside the door for safety. Clara peered around the corner, seeing one of the head cooks exiting through the far door with a large pot in her hands. Clara grabbed Kath's hand. "Let's go!" she said, dragging Kath into the kitchen. Immediately, the sisters spotted a plate full of fresh-baked cookies sitting on the counter.
"Here! I'll lift you up, Kath. Take some for both of us," Clara instructed, remembering that her sister may just take all the cookies for herself.
Kath let Clara lift her up, and she ecstatically reached for the cookies. "One for you, and one for me!" she chanted happily. Clara giggled underneath her sister's weight, trying to shift into a more comfortable position.
"Take two for both of us!" Clara whispered as she caught a whiff of the princesses' favorite snack.
"One more for you, and one more for me!" Kath continued, taking two more cookies off the plate.
"Um...get two more!" Clara added, feeling her stomach rumble once more. Kath giggled and clutched the counter as Clara once again shifted her position.
"And another one for you, and another one for me," Kath said as she took them. She paused before she allowed Clara to lift her back down, then said, "Wait! One more, just so we have some for later too!" Clara smiled, but allowed her sister to take two more cookies off the plate.
"Kath, hurry up! I think someone may be coming!" Clara exclaimed as she heard two people conversing on the other side of the door that the cook had exited earlier. Kath leapt down off of her sister's shoulders, and giggled as they both hurried out of the kitchen.
"You have four cookies, and I have four cookies," Kath told her as they began to sneak down the hallway back to their room.
"That's eight cookies!" Clara told her, looking around a corner before she led Kath back to the hallway that their room was in. The princesses eventually reached their room, and when they entered and Clara closed the door, Kath dropped the cookies onto the table.
"Good work!" Clara said, taking one of the cookies. She looked at her sister, and Kath gave her a grin, her mouth already full of one of the chocolate-chip cookies.
