Chapter 1: A Rude Awakening

Anna was having a great dream. She was dreaming about that herself, Elsa, Kristoff, Olaf and Sven were having a snowball fight. It was her and Elsa against everyone else. It was a relatively fair match up. The fight had reached its climax. Elsa had created multiple ice shields, from previous attacks, and the sisters were hiding behind one of them. Kristoff and Sven were also hiding but the sisters didn't know where. They were about make a charge at any possible hiding places when Olaf suddenly appeared. He caught the girls off guard and threw snowballs in both of their faces. A snowball to the face might not be scary, but it gave Anna enough of a shock for her Anna to wake up and sit up straight. Anna rubbed her eyes.

'You're up!' cried a voice. Anna quickly opened her eyes to see Olaf standing at the end of her bed, with a large grin on his face.

'Olaf what are you…' Anna then felt that her pyjamas and hair were wet. Olaf had not only thrown a snowball at her in the dream, but also in the real world. 'Olaf, did you throw a snowball at me to get me up?' Olaf didn't answer. He was too busy staring at Anna's bed hair.

'Wow, your hair looks similar to mine. Well, if mine was wild and craaaaazy.' The snowman teased and giggled. Anna, now embarrassed, put a pillow over her bed hair.

'Olaf, why did you wake me up?' Anna asked, with an annoyed tone. Olaf giggled again, but not at Anna's hair this time. He was just so happy that he couldn't speak. He just pointed to and ran towards the balcony. Anna was confused at what Olaf was so excited about. That is until she looked out the glass doors.

Snow was falling. It wouldn't seem that big of a deal when your sister can generate snow at will but it reminded Anna of the events that allowed her to reconnect with Elsa. Anna quickly made her hair less of a mess, wrapped herself in her robe and walked out on to the balcony.

An icy wind nearly froze Anna on the spot as she opened the doors. However, the cold was overshadowed by the view of Arendelle covered in a layer of fresh snow. Arendelle was a winter wonderland. By the amount of snow, it looked like that it had been snowing most of the night. Olaf may have been a bit hasty to wake her up, but Anna and Elsa both know that Olaf loves winter and snow just as much as summer and heat. Elsa! Anna knew that this was something that she wouldn't want to miss.

'Olaf come on, let's wake up Elsa.' Olaf cheered at the suggestion.

After Anna had properly sorted out her hair, Anna and Olaf walked to Elsa's bedroom. After the sisters had rekindled their relationship, Elsa decided that they would have adjacent rooms in the castle, much to Anna's delight; especially with that the rooms having the best views of Arendelle in the castle.

Olaf and Anna quietly opened the door to Elsa's bedroom and peered inside. Elsa was still sleeping. Olaf crept in first, with Anna close behind.

'She's sound asleep,' whispered Anna. 'How do we wake her up?'

'I know!' Olaf shouted, forgetting that he needed to be quiet. Anna promptly shushed him. Both of them then cautiously look at Elsa. Olaf's shouting didn't even cause Elsa to stir. Anna promptly glared at Olaf.

'We need to be quiet.' Anna angrily whispered. Olaf nodded before running over to the bed and clambering on top of it. 'What are you doing?'

'Elsa! Wake up!' Olaf yelled right next to Elsa. Elsa stirred slightly but then settled back down. Olaf was disappointed by his failed attempt. However, Anna was shocked that her sister was in such a deep sleep. Olaf then had another idea. He jumped off the bed and ran towards the doors of the balcony. He flung them open. Another icy blast of wind came in the room. Elsa didn't stir, but Anna was annoyed that she was cold again.

'That's not going to work. She's called 'Arendelle's Ice Queen' for a reason.' Anna stated, while shivering. Olaf was once again disappointed, but for not as long this time. He quickly came up with a new. Using the snow on the balcony, Olaf made a snowball and prepared to launch it at Elsa. 'Olaf! No!' Anna shouted while still trying to be quiet. Olaf paused and looked at Anna. 'That annoyed me. It'll annoy Elsa too.'

'But we need her to wake up.' Olaf replied and then threw the snowball straight at Elsa. Anna cringed when it hit her sister. It didn't seem to do anything but regardless, Elsa began to wake up. She had sat up in bed, yawned and stretched before she noticed that she wasn't alone.

'Anna? What are you…' Elsa interrupted herself when she noticed state her pyjamas. 'Why am I wet?' Anna immediately pointed to Olaf, who in response just chuckled. Elsa half glared at the snowman, mostly because she was still partially asleep.

'Elsa! Look! Look, look, look!' Olaf demanded, while pointing to balcony. Elsa got out of bed and wrapped herself in her own robe before doing what the snowman asked. Olaf ran on to the balcony, followed by Anna pulling her still half asleep sister. Elsa had the same reaction as Anna. She was delighted at the snowfall and amazed at the view.

'A kingdom suited for an 'Ice Queen'.' Anna joked. Elsa gave a weak smile, but that comment reminded her about last year, when she caused an eternal winter. Anna realised what she had done. 'I'm sorry Elsa. I didn't mean…'

'No, it's alright. I need to put that behind me. The past is in the past. Besides…' Elsa grabbed Anna's hands and looked straight at her, 'that eternal winter brought us back together.' Elsa smiled and hugged her baby sister. Anna happily returned the hug. Elsa was right. After the eternal winter, the sisters had been rebuilding their relationship, now they were closer than ever before. After the hug, they turned their attention back to the view.

'What a great way to finish off the Festival of Ice.' Stated Anna. Elsa raised an eyebrow at Anna.

'It finishes in five days Anna. If anyone should know that then it should be you.'

'I do know that!' Replied Anna, defensively. 'But noting that it's cold enough for Olaf to walk around without his flurry, the snow should stay for the remainder of the festival.'

'I guess so.' Elsa couldn't see a flaw in Anna's logic. It was definitely cold enough that the snow would remain for the remainder of the festival, with the possibility of more snow falling in the meantime. 'This will be the best 'Festival of Ice' yet.'

'I only invented last year.' Anna replied, with a slight smugness in her voice. She indeed did invent the idea of 'The Festival of Ice'. It was Anna's attempt at helping Elsa to embrace her powers more, rather than fear them. Last year's festival did just that. No natural snow fell during the time of that festival so Elsa had to use her powers to make some. Each day had a different event, and each event had some way of incorporating Elsa's powers into it. Elsa not only learned to embrace her powers but she and the townspeople enjoyed it so much that it's now an annual occurrence.

'True and you never let me forget.' Replied Elsa.

'And why is that?' Anna asked, still with a hint of smugness. Elsa sighed. Anna had asked this question so many times, just so that Elsa would never forget the purpose of the festival. So much so that she knew the answer Anna wanted, off by heart.

'I was still scared of my powers, regardless of them being accepted by everyone. So you came up with the idea to help me remove my fears. And it worked.' Elsa stated, finishing the sentence with a smile.

'Yes it did.' Anna said proudly. Elsa smiled at her sister. The sister who never gave up on her.

'So what's today's event?' Elsa asked. Although she was the main person of the festival, Anna was the organiser. Anna pulled out a small book from a pocket in her robe. 'I don't know how you always have that.' Anna cheekily smiled.

'It's a secret.' Anna answered, tapping her nose. She started flicking through the pages of the book. 'I'm pretty sure it's…' She trailed off into her own thoughts. Elsa waited for her sister to find what she wanted. 'Ah here it is.' Elsa saw her sister's eyes go over the page. Anna smiled. 'Turns out it's Olaf's favourite event.' Both Anna and Elsa turn to Olaf who was jumping with joy at the news.

'It's the Snowman Making Olaf Lookalike Contest!' He clapped his hands in joy. Anna knew it was the Olaf Snowman Lookalike Contest but she didn't want to ruin the moment. Olaf then ran out of the room giggling. He leaned back in and looked back at Anna and Elsa. 'Aren't you coming?'

'Sorry Olaf but sadly we have very important things to do.' Elsa replied, with genuine sadness. She enjoyed the contest as much as Olaf but with her being queen, the kingdom took priority.

'But tell us how it goes.' Anna added.

'Okay. Bye.' Olaf cheerily said. Obviously Elsa's news couldn't dampen the snowman's excitement.

'How did you I had important things to do?' Anna asked as she turned back to her sister.

'You're the inventor and organiser of the festival. You're going to have something important to do.' Elsa and Anna chuckled. 'So what do you have to do?'

'I have to check the preparations for the 'End of Festival Ball'. And before you say that it's five days away, you know how much I love the ball.'

'I wasn't going to. And yes I do.' Elsa then realised how they were both dressed. 'But first we need to look a bit more like a princess and a queen.'

'I agree.' The sisters chuckled again. Anna hugged her sister a final time before leaving Elsa in peace. Now she could get prepared for the busy day ahead.
