The Kingdom of Arendelle

10:30 A.M. Norwegian time

July 24th 1813

(Queen Elsa's POV)

It's been over a year since the War with pitch black and the return of Maleficent. Arendelle received minor damage (compared to Blowhole's attack last year) that was repaired in a little under a week. War with the Southern Isles or Weselton is a frightening possibly as a result of Pitch's defeats. We as a kingdom haven't seen either kingdom since the First Dreamworks War but they could return at any moment. The forces of Arendelle are at high alert and ready for when Hans or the Duke of Weselton make the next move.

I pushed all of this from my mind and suppressed my own fears of attack. If I show my fear and panic then everyone else will start to panic I can't have that. Anna entered my room I keep having the feeling that I'm forgetting something important about Anna. Now what was it? Never mind if it was important I would remember it. "Elsa I have something to show you." "You do?" I said confused. "Come on this way…" she ran before I could reply. "This better be important," I muttered before running after her.

I followed her down corridors that probably haven't been used since our parent's reigned. Anna disappeared into the very room that the incident happened in all those years ago. "Anna…" I said walking into the room to find it filled with people Anna, Kristoff, Olaf, the penguins, Kai, Gerda, North, Jack Frost, Hiccup, Astrid, and a few of the guards. "Surprise!" everyone shouted. "Anna…did you plan this." "She actually pulled it off," Kowalski said. "You owe me five bucks Kowalski," Private said. "What you betted on a surprise Party!" Skipper exclaimed. "That's not the worst thing they betted on," North replied. "Really? You have to tell me sometime," Skipper said. "How do you keep up with those Penguins?" Jack Frost asked. "Very carefully," North whispered.

"But it's not my birthday," I said. "I decided to surprise you since you actually birthday was interrupted," Anna said, "Now you can have the party you deserve." "Plus we all deserve a little celebration," Skipper added holding up a cup, "To Elsa!" "To Elsa," several people repeated. "lutefisk anyone," the unmistakable voice of Oaken said. Only the penguins took him up on the offer of those foul fish…gross. But then again it's the thought that counts I thought as I turn to skipper, "How can you eat that?"

"You're Norwegian," Skipper said thru mouthfuls of fish, "I though Norwegians like this stuff." "Not this Norwegian," I muttered. "well your loss," Skipper said, "Also, Penguins like fish." "No matter what form that fish takes," Kowalski added. "Where's the Doctor by the way?"I asked. "He out saving the universe I think," Private replied. "Well nothing can ruin this party," I thought out loud. "Queen Elsa…Your Majesty," Paddie said almost startling me. "Paddie don't sneak up on me like that," I said. "I'm sorry if I startled you your Majesty," Paddie. "Paddie you don't have any bad news do you," I said, "remember the last time."

"Lucky this time I don't have any bad news," he replied. "What are you standing their for," I said with a smile, "Enjoy the party." "Elsa," Paddie said, "you may have some odd friends but at least their good people…" "And Animals!" Skipper said from the other side of the room. Paddie looked like he was going to say something to Skipper but Skipper was talking to someone else, "be careful with that frost boy that's Kowalski's new invention." "As I was saying," he said, "do you trust all of them?" "Trust all of them…of course I trust them." "Be careful who you trust Elsa…these words will be useful to you one day." "Name one person I shouldn't trust then," I said. "Tell me why you trust them," he said calmly but firmly. "Sure Frost is a trouble-maker, Astrid doesn't trust me entirely, Skipper can be paranoid, Rico often likes to destroy things, and Kowalski often unintentionally build things that endanger lives but I trust them.

"But will they return that trust?" everyone responded, "Absolutely!" "In a heartbeat." "Why wouldn't we?" "Viking's honor." "Of course." "You bet." "Do you trust us?" Skipper asked Paddie. "I do not." "Paddie I think you should leave," I said. "Elsa," Kristoff said, "I think you should trust my grandfather wisdom." "Oh throw us under the bus why don't you ice boy," Kowalski exclaimed. "Kristoff I think you should leave too," Anna replied, "Paddie doesn't know these guys like we do." "Anna…" "Everyone here helped save Arendelle at one point or another I think we can trust them."

"Paddie is the wisest troll I know," Kristoff said, "I think we should trust his judgment." "Elsa and I trust them isn't that enough," Anna asked. "I guess your right," Paddie replied, "goodbye." Paddie left the room and Skipper turns to me and said, "What's his problem?" "I have no idea," I said, "but I won't let that ruin our fun." "Well as long as a certain lemur isn't around…" he disappeared into the crowd. Now if only I knew what a lemur was. But a better question is…where is the chocolate? "Who wants to play pin the tale on the donkey?" Kowalski asked. Skipper was right we do deserve this celebration but why do I still feel like I'm forgetting something…
