"Thor! Give me back my doll!" Evelyn stomped her foot and crossed her arms. With tears in her eyes, she glared at the blonde boy before her. "It's not fair! Give it back!" Thor grinned as he held the doll just out of her reach. Evelyn reached up again and jumped, trying to get a grip on her doll. "Thor this isn't funny! Give it back!" She cried as she continued to jump for the doll. Loki, who was sitting under a tree nearby, looked at the two fighting. He rolled his eyes. "Stop being mean Thor, give the doll back to Eve." Thor threw a toothy grin at his brother. "But this is so fun!" He laughed and held the doll up higher. Evelyn stopped jumping and glared at him Thor through her tears. "GIVE. HER. BACK!" Thor's eyes grew wide with pain and he dropped the doll. Cradling his hand to his chest he looks at her. "You didn't have to burn me…" Evelyn bent down and picked up her doll. She cradled it to her chest and stuck her tongue out. "Next time give me back my doll!" Loki laughed softly at his brother, and Thor glared at him. "It is not funny Loki." Loki just continued to chuckle.

Frigga was following behind a maid, who had a tray of snacks, to the play room where Thor, Loki, and Evelyn were playing. She almost laughed out loud when they opened the door and saw the sight before her. Sitting at a table with a tea set were Thor, Loki, and Evelyn. She smiled as Evelyn poured "tea" into a rather embarrassed Thor's cup. She looked over t Loki, who was levitating his own tea cup a couple inches in the air. "Loki, it is not polite to make your cup float." She heard Evelyn say, in an adult sounding voice. "Put you cup back on the table." Loki grumbled and gentle set the cup back down. After giggling, the maid walked up to the table. "How about some real goodies." She smiled and set the tray down. Thor and Loki looked almost relieved, while Evelyn just grinned wider. "Stay and play with us!" She exclaimed and pointed at the chair next to Loki. The maid smiled and sat down, and began to pass the goodies to the children. Frigga chose that opportunity to make herself known. "Are you children having fun?" Thor and Loki exclaimed "NO" and the same time Evelyn exclaimed "Yes!" Frigga smiled and walked over to her sons and knelt down between them. "It is so sweet that you two are playing so nicely with our guest." She smiled and looked at Evelyn. "Are you enjoying your visit?" Evelyn, who was pouring real tea into a mug for the maid, nodded enthusiastically. "Yes! I am having a lot of fun!" Frigga giggled and smiled at the young Princess. "I am glad. Now you children behave." Frigga placed a kiss on both prince's heads and then left the room.

Loki and Thor stood on the balcony and watched as the Bifrost opening, signaling that the Alfheim family had arrived. The boys groaned. "Why do they have to come every summer mother?" Thor asked Frigga as they down the hall to greet the family. "They are very powerful allies, Thor. We must keep them close. Grow the bond between our families." Thor groaned again. "But mother, Evelyn doesn't like to play what we like to play. She only likes girly stuff, like dolls and tea parties and dress up." Loki sulked. "Well she is a girl. Have you tried finding a game you ALL like to play?" Thor nodded vigorously. "Yes, but she never wants to play any of our suggestions." The trio entered the throne room where Odin, Nadra, Frey, and Evelyn were waiting. Evelyn was still short, with a little pudge on her stomach and face. Freckles dust her nose and cheeks, and her hair was pulled into two braids on either side of her face. The two princes bowed before the family and Evelyn curtsied in return. Odin excused the children, and led Nadra and Frey further into the throne to discuss politics. Once the three children were out of sight from the adults, Thor and Loki took off running towards the gardens. Evelyn, surprised at the sudden change of pace, started to run after them. "Hey! Wait! Guys! Wait for me!" She continued to run but wasn't getting any closer to them. "I can't catch up! Slow down!" She watched as the two boys began to climb up a small ladder that led to a tree house in the center of the garden. She had just got to the tree when the boys pulled the ladder up so she couldn't climb it. "Hey wait! What about me!" She looked up at the two, who were grinning at each other. Thor then pulled out a sign and draped it over the edge of the window. The sign read "No girls allowed" and below the words was a very badly drawn picture of herself. "That's not fair!" She yelled and kicked the base of the tree. "Boys are so stupid!" She kicked it again with a little more force. Thor and Loki just laughed down at her. She glared at the two, her face turning red with anger. She then began to pick rocks up and throw them at the window. "Stupid! Stupid boys!" Using some of her magic, she picked up a slightly bigger rock, one about the size of a softball and threw it at the tree house. Only her aim was off by a bit and it hit a piece of wood that was in between the house and the tree itself. Thor and Loki looked down in horror when they felt the house start to fall. The tree house fell from the tree and came crashing to the ground. Loki threw a weak shield around himself and Thor. Evelyn had just barely moved out of the way, but her leg got caught under the tree.

"I cannot believe how reckless you were." Odin's voice booms through the room as he reprimands the three children that sit before him. Evelyn had broken her leg and got a couple scrapes and bruises on her face and arms. Loki and Thor both broke and arm and also work bruises and scrapes as well. "Do you know dangerous throwing rocks are Evelyn!" Frey, who NEVER raised his voice, was red in the face with anger. "You two should be ashamed of yourselves." Odin yelled at Thor and Loki, who ducked their heads, ashamed of their actions. Evelyn started crying as her father continued to yell at her. Once Odin and Frey decided they had punished the children enough they left the room, leaving the children alone with their mothers. "Mama, I want to go home." Evelyn said through her tears. Nadra looked at her daughter and then at Frigga. "Okay Eve. We'll leave first thing in the morning." Nadra picked Evelyn up and carried her out to their rooms. Frigga turned to look at her boys. "I am very disappointed in you two…" She shook her head and then left the room.

Frigga dragged both of her sons to the bifrost before the Alfheim family left. "Eve, Thor and Loki have something they wish to tell you." Loki and Thor looked back at their mother, uncertainty and humiliation written all over their faces. Frigga gave then the stern look, and scared, Thor and Loki looked back at Evelyn. "We are sorry that we didn't let you into our tree house and were mean to you." The two boys spoke in unison. Evelyn turned her nose to them, but her father bopped her on the head and pushed her forward. "I'm sorry I threw rocks at you." She looked down at her feet. "Ahem…"Evelyn looked back at her father who had cleared his throat. He gave her a look that told her to go on. Evelyn took a deep breath and looked back at the boys. "And I'm sorry I broke your tree house. And broke your arms…"She looked back at her father who nodded. Shortly after, the family left for Alfheim.

Thor stood next to his father in the throne room when the Alfheim family entered. He noticed the small changes in Evelyn's appearance. She was taller, not as chubby as she was the summer before. Her ears were a bit more pointed. She also carried herself differently. Her hair was pulled into an elegant twist and was out of her face, allowing her blue eyes to shine through. She stopped before Odin and himself and curtsied, which Thor returned with a low bow. "Hello Princess Evelyn." He tried to put authority in his voice. "It is nice to see you again Prince Thor." She looked up at him then looked around. "Where is Prince Loki?" Odin spoke up this time. "Loki is practicing his magic right now. He will meet up with you two later. Now run along." Thor nodded and led Evelyn up to the gardens. Evelyn smiled when she saw a chess board set up under a tree. "Thor, play with me." She gave a mischievous grin as she sat down on one side of the board. Thor looked at her then sat across from her to start playing.

Loki joined then about three hours later. He found the two sitting at the chess board. Thor looked rather irritated while Evelyn grinned. "I take it Evelyn is winning?" Loki chuckled and walked up to his brother's side. "Winning? She has won the past six games. I don't get it." Loki looked at the board then tapped his brother's shoulder. "May I?" Thor nodded and moved so that Loki could sit down. He studied the board steadily and then looked up at Evelyn. "You cornered him." Evelyn just answered him with a grin and urged him to make his move. Sighing Loki studied the board again, not able to find a good spot he moved his king and allowed it to be captured by Evelyn. "Now let's start over." Evelyn yawned and stood up. "No, I am board with this game." A mischievous gleam across her eyes as she looked at the two boys. She flicked her wrists slightly and began to levitate in the air. "I have an idea…" Thor and Loki looked up at her. "Try and catch me." With that last statement she took off in the air flying across the garden.
