ELSA'S PROBLEM

CHAPTER 1: SMALL BUGS

It was a fine day in Arendelle. It had been 9 months since the Great Freeze, and the people lead normal lives…except for the stars of this story.

"Elsa! They're waiting for you!"

"Coming, Anna!" This was the normal routine for the Queen and Princess of Arendelle. Meeting dignitaries of other lands to talk business. Queen Elsa was always a bit late, and Princess Anna always trying to hurry her up.

The duo walked down to the dining area, where all such meetings took place. The guests were talking amongst themselves about the kingdom, the queen, and the living snowman helping to finish setting the table.

"Morning, Elsa, Anna! The guests were waiting for your arrival!"

"Thank you, Olaf." Elsa loved the little snowman. For someone without a brain or bones, he proved to be essential for the welfare of the castle. "Everyone, please have a seat. Sorry to keep you waiting."

"No worries, your majesty. We understand you must be busy with this kingdom." A young man stated as he took his seat.

"Thank you for your patience. Anyway…" Elsa started to get a funny feeling in her nose. She tried to control it, but…"Ah-choo!" She let loose a loud sneeze. "Sorry, every…one…" The seating area in front of her was now covered in a decent layer of snow. The queen and her sister just stared at the sight, until Elsa got back to reality and used her powers to clear the mess. "Sorry…"

Most of the guests grumbled about snow in their shoes or in their mustaches. Some found the incident humorous and tried to stifle laughter. Still others just kept silent as they brushed some remaining snow off their clothes.

"No worries, milady. No harm, no fowl." The young man from before stated. He always tried to keep things on the bright side.

"Okay, well…Ah…ah…"

'No! Not again!' Elsa thought as she tried to cover her face in time…which she didn't accomplish, by the way.

"AHCHOO!" And once again, the room was covered with a fresh winter snow.

*LATER THAT DAY*

"Elsa…are you there?" Anna was at her sister's door, wanting to make sure that she was alright. "Elsa..?"

*click*

"Anna, sorry. I just got so into reading, and well…you know how that is…" It was true. There could be an onslaught on the castle and Elsa would only notice if it came straight towards where she was reading.

"The guests are okay, they're just grumbling about wet socks and such. Olaf really helped to clean the room. For a small snowman…"

"…he sure is a big help. I know, Anna." Elsa said as she looked at her sister lovingly. "Would you like a drink?"

"Sure." Anna entered the room, and Elsa went to pour some tea. But…

"Huh? Come on, I just had this filled up." Elsa grumbled to herself.

"Need help there, sis?" Anna went to open the top…and saw that all the contents inside were frozen solid.

"Not again…"

"We need help with this." Anna said as she put the teapot down for her sister.

Olaf entered the room at that moment, and had an idea only a snowman would think of. "I've heard that in the neighboring kingdom of Guardia, their princess is skilled with Ice magic. Maybe she could come help!"

"But she'd have to cross many mountains covered with snowy and freezing desolation." Elsa countered.

"And we can't forget that Ice giant you conjured up…" Anna quietly interjected.

"But she's an adventurer, and quite skilled in combat. I'm sure she can make it here. And if not on her own, I'm sure she can get a party to escort her." Olaf said, a smile as big as his heart on his face.

The two sisters looked at each other before agreeing with Olaf's idea. For a snowman with no brain, he sure thought of the most plans as of late.
