It was the night before Christmas.

Well, to be more precise, it was the afternoon before Christmas .But before I take you into the beating heart of the action; let's get one thing out of the way. I know from experience that if it comes up later, it will distract you so much that you won't be able to concentrate on anything else I tell you.

My name is Elisabeth Arenedelle. Take a moment and let it sink in.

See, when you see it up front, its not that bad. Now imagine I was half way through my story (like i am about to be), and I dropped that one on you. "By the way my name is Elisabeth" you wouldn't know what to do next.

I realize that Elisabeth is a very regal and formidable name, but if you get the chance to see me you would get the idea pretty well that I am not (at least I think so).

I have mid length platinum blonde hair, and wear glasses half the time, and contacts the other half.

I am sixteen; I sing in the choir, I attend Winter high. I am a figure ice skater, which lacks the regal ness of modeling (I have no problem with models, in case if any models are reading this).

No more of my blabbering ,so as I said , it was the afternoon before Christmas , and I was having those kind of days when you feel that life ….. likes you Finals were over and school was done until New Years. I was dressed for the night , alone in my house in the new outfit I had saved for this occasion , a red flowly gown with a split right in the center , the upper portion a bit sparkly and n sleeves . I was drinking a little eggnog that I had cooked for myself , well with your parents out for a holiday and your sister at your at your cousins house there was little you could do .

Why am I not with Anna at our cousins house you ask ? well you see , our cousin rapunzel , recently had had a break up with her boyfriend , Flynn and as she needed comfort Anna decided to go their , at a town near our , Burgess . and I why did I not go? Well you see I am supposed to go to Tadashis ,house at six – oh yeah , Tadashi Yamada , is my boyfriend –for his family's annual Christmas Eve Smorgasbord .

The Yamada family annual Smorgasbord is a big deal in our personal history . It was how we met in the first place .

Before the Smorgasbord he was just a star in the sky …. Constant , familiar , bright ,and far above me . I'd have known Tadashi since fourth grade , but it felt like I knew him in the same way I knew people in the television . I knew the name , I watched the show . Sure , he as a bit closer than that … but somehow when its real , when its your life …. That person can feel even farther off and more unobtainable than an actual celebrity .

I had always liked him , but it never really occurred to me to like like him. I never thought that was a reasonable thought. He was a year older than me , a foot taller , broad shoulders ,bright eyes . Tadashi was the complete package – athlete , academic, school government bigwig – the kind you only thought would date celebrites .

So when he asked me to come along his family Smorgasbord on Christmas Eve last year , I more or less ruptured my eye in excitement and confusion .

I couldn't walk straight for three days when I got the invitation! It was so bad that I had to consciously practice walking in my room before I went to his house .

I had no idea if he had asked me out because he liked me or his mom made him do so ( our parents sare good friends ), or because he lost a bet .

All my friends had to assure me that he had been eyeing me at maths and laughing at my poor attempts at trigonometry joke .

It was all so crazy that I spent most of the night safely propped in a corner talking to his brother , who even though may be a genious but isint exactly deep , I mean you could only talk so much about technology ! but he can go on and on on that subject like an expert .

I finally took a break as his mom was setting out another plate and I could make the oh-exuse-me-but –dosent –that –look –good excuse .

I had no idea that it was pickled fish , I was backing away , but his mom said , " you have to try a piece".

Being a bit of a lemming , i did anyways

That's when I know that he was watching ,he just said " I am glad that you had some".

I really thought that it was of some kind of bet , but he simply said "coz I have been eating it"

I was still standing their stupidly , thinking this was seriously weird . when he kissed me , which was both gross and romantic . I mean he could ve gone and brushed his teeth but he lurked around to see if I had eaten the fish.

So , this particular day this year was special as it was our first year anniversary !

It had all gone so fast , I mean being all that , he had always been very busy , and hardly had time for me though we had several joint appearences at numerous events , still I had always felt that something was missing ….

And then of course my aunt and uncle , had to go out for an emergency and I was called to take care of my two sisters .

Kai was the one who gave me the news , he is our lawyer and when I say our lawyer , I mean our neighbor next door.

"I have some bad news , you have to go to burgess to take care of rapunzel , as her parents her parents had to leave"

"what ?" i asked , i mean , you just cant pop up on someones door step and tell them to leave for burgess , when they are you know , preparing for a special night!

"why dint they call?!" , i asked .

"they did but it was coming engaged " he replied with a frown , clearly implying that , it was my fault .

"anyways how quickly can you pack ?" he asked not waiting for my answer,

"pack ?" i asked clueless , well you cant expect me to be quick , you are asking me to leave my first anniversary here !

"yes pack ,we need to leave for the station right this moment ." kai said firmly , all i could do was to nod weakly before rushing of to get a few things assembled for this trip .
