Part 1
Today's a Big Day
On a clear day, the sun rise is a spectacular view in Arendelle. Coming from the waters of the bay, glimmers of red and orange line up to welcome the sun, the same way the people of Arendelle would do to greet their queen. The palace where she resides is the highlight of the city, and the gates are open for anyone who would like to take a glimpse of the enchanted beauty. It's still a bit surreal that the gates have finally been open for the last six months, for before then, they have sealed shut for the last thirteen years.
Next to the palace, there is the royal stable which holds the palace's horses for travels outside the kingdom. However, one of the sections at the corner holds not a horse but a reindeer. Sven was casually laying on the floor with his rider, Kristoff, who was admiring a small box in his hand. Even though he could have easily asked Elsa for the money, he wanted to work the money himself to buy this. It took him all the months he worked on the frozen lakes, along with the royalties he gets as ice master (so it seems Elsa had still helped after all), to be able to afford what was in this box. But he knew that it's for something that is more important to him than his own life.
"Hi Kristoff! Hi Sven! How are you fellas?", came a voice a few feet away.
"Olaf, what are doing here so early? Don't snowman have to sleep too?", Kristoff asks.
"You know, I never really figured that out," Olaf scratches his head. Snowflakes came off as he scratches. "What are you holding, Kristoff?" *gasp* "Is there candy in there? I bet it's chocolate! Elsa loves chocolate, and Elsa made me, so I love chocolate!" The snowman hops around on his little, white feet clapping his arms made out of twigs.
"It's not chocolate, you flakehead. It's something else," Kristoff says bluntly.
"Then tell me what it is."
"No. You can't keep a secret. Remember last time, when I tried to prank Kai and you completely ruined it?"
"Oh come on! I promise this time. I won't tell anyone."
"No, I'm not telling you."
"Pleeease?"
"NO"
"If you don't tell me, I'll tell Elsa that you tried to feed my nose to Sven."
Kristoff laughed, "You can put another carrot on your face. Listen, Olaf, this is a very special thing. It's for Anna, and I just can't tell you. You have to trust me on this. Do you trust me?"
"Well yeah, I do trust you, but…" Olaf eyes dart around as if his brain (I think he has one) was processing. "Oh I get it! Aww, that's so romantic, Kristoff!" Kristoff's insides tense up. He had no idea that Olaf was capable of catching on to his plan. "You're going to ask Anna to-" Olaf's eyes trailed off. "Ooh, I love the sun. Especially when comes out like that. It looks like a big fiery ball that coming out of the bay. Why doesn't the bay vaporize when the sun does that? Does Elsa keep the lake cool with her power? Does that mean that Elsa has to do that to all the oceans in the world? That must be a headache!" Kristoff rolls his eyes. "Wait, what was I saying?" Olaf asks.
"Nothing. Go back to the palace, dude. I think you need some rest," Kristoff explains right before he hears snoring. Olaf fell asleep right there, standing up. Shaking his head, Kristoff goes back to laying besides Sven, thinking to himself. 'Today is going to be a very big day.'
Knock Knock Knock
I blink my eyes a few times. A voice came through my bedroom door, "your majesty. I'm sorry for waking you up. But I have some important news!" I didn't seem to take note that the head maid, Gerda, was sounding a little odd this morning. Oh well, I'm probably too sleepy to hear clearly.
"That's okay. Come in, Gerda!", I called, rubbing my eyes.
The door sprang open, and instead of Gerda standing there, a young and beautiful girl smiles widely. Her hair is still a mess, and she was dressed in a nightgown. "You have yet to build a snowman, your highness!", she continues with her fake impression.
This is my little sister, Anna. I look at her with a grin, "You really had me there, sis! But did you really have to wake me up so early?" With that, I slumped my head back onto my pillow. It just feels too good. Yawning, I can feel the sleep overcoming me as I slowly drift away to dreamland. I was just about to fall aslee-
WHAM
My eyes pop open and my entire self shakes along with my bed. Anna had just ran and tackled me with her body. "Come on, Elsa! Wake up, wake up, wake up!" What does this girl want from me?
"Anna, what's with you! Can't you see that I'm tired?" She looks at me with those big blue eyes of hers.
"Sorry. I was just trying to get you up so that you can get start preparing for tonight." she states. I sigh. Today is suppose to be a very big day. Today is the decennial gathering of all the kings and queens of the league of kingdoms. Arendelle has been part of the league for hundreds of years, but this was only the second time that it was hosting this big event. The last time it hosted this event was over two hundred years ago. I had never actually attended this event before, since I was still in isolation ten years ago. To me, this is one of the most important events that I will attend as Queen of Arendelle. Many royal families will come from all over the world, and Arendelle will be on display for the next few days. Everything has to be perfect in order for Arendelle and me to keep the respect of the other kingdoms.
I slowly got out of bed. Anna jumped off in barely a second. "I'm sooo excited!" she skipped happily. "There's going to be a whole lot of people coming, way more than how many came on your coronation. And they're all royalty, just like us. We can relate to all of them." I smirk at her. Even though they're like us in social status, I doubt any of them had to go through what we did. My powers had forced both of us to stay locked up in the palace for almost our whole lives. I even had to stay away from Anna. My heart starts to ache as I remember how it was like. Oh god, all that time I wanted to just open my door and just hug her and tell her I still loved her. Only after the coronation, when my powers got exposed to everyone, did Anna learned the truth.
"Elsa?" I blinked. "What's wrong? You're crying!" I really need to keep control of my emotions. Ever since I saw Anna frozen in front of me at the lake, I could never really stop crying. Even at the slightest flashback of her with that white strand of hair brings out a stream of hot tears.
Anna stops in the middle of the hall and faces me. She looks at me again with those worried eyes and then grabs me by the shoulders and pulls me in for a tight hug. "Stop crying all the time, big sis. Everythings fine. You know that. I'd never blamed you for anything, so you shouldn't keep thinking like this. Come on! Today's a big day. We're going to meet lots and lots of people." Anna gives me a peculiar look. "And, there's going to be a lot of princes. I bet there'll be at least a dozen of them our age, and many of them could be really really cute!" She smiles at me while letting go of her hug.
"Anna, aren't you happy with Kristoff? Why on earth do you want to meet a bunch of stuck-up princes?"
Anna sighs, "not for me silly. For you! Don't you deserve a little happy fairytale? I bet you could find the man of your dreams today. And besides, not all princes are 'stuck-up'. Hans was just a really stupid, stinky, jerky, meany, side-burny, piece of reindeer's…" Anna takes one big deep breath, "SHIT"
*Gasp*
Anna has never sweared before in her whole life. "Anna! Mind your manners. If you go about saying stuff like that in front of anyone, especially today, you could jeopardize Arendelle's reputation."
Anna takes another breath, calming herself down, "Sorry. I promise not to say that again...But he's still a jerk!"
"Definitely!" With that, we walked on. I couldn't of asked for a better way to start this morning. No, really. No matter what we ridiculous thing we talk about, being with my sister is what I always wanted. She's the only one in my heart. Even though I've grown very close to Kristoff, Sven, and Oolof, I don't exactly love them the I do for Anna.
But what if I do meet someone tonight? What if I do fall for some prince or a single king? Now I'm really nervous about today. Maybe I should get some makeup done? "You look beautiful just the way you are," Anna says, as if she just read my mind. Seriously, how does she do that?
What's up everyone! The name's Quill… Metal Quill. Sorry, couldn't resist. This is my first fanfiction ever. I literally started this just because of this story. Ever since I watched Frozen, I've been contemplating about a sequel practically every other hour of the day.
Anyway, feel free to review this story and say anything you want. I really want to know what you guys think about it so far. Any ideas, critiques, random-stuff-that-really-isn't-necessary-to-say-but-you-just-got-to-say-it-anyway; by all means… just say it !
