Anna ran to the stables to find Kristoff. She found him trying to feed Sven.
"Come on, buddy, why won't you eat?" Kristoff asked.
Sven angrily grunted in response.
"You know I can't understand you when you talk like that," Kristoff said.
"I'm not eating because those carrots taste like they're a year old!" Kristoff said for Sven.
"But I bought these for a low price!" Kristoff protested.
"The solution is simple: Never buy carrots from a hermit living in the forest," Kristoff quipped for Sven.
Anna approached the two best friends.
"Everything okay?" Anna asked, slightly amused.
"Everything's great. Sven's just being picky," Kristoff said.
"And Kristoff's just being a cheapskate," Kristoff said for Sven.
"Sven, seriously?" Kristoff asked, annoyed.
The reindeer just rolled his eyes and plopped down onto the ground.
"Yeah, take a nap," Kristoff said, shaking his head.
Kristoff turned to Anna. She reached up and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"How have things been going?" he asked.
"Things have been going well. Elsa's been really busy for the past few weeks," Anna said.
"Well, being queen's a pretty big job." Kristoff said.
"I know that, but I wish I could help her. Running a kingdom is too hard for one person to do," Anna said.
"I bet it is. Have you offered to help her before?" Kristoff asked.
"Of course I have. I've lost count of how many times I've offered, but I'm always turned down. Elsa claims she can do everything by herself," Anna said.
"If I were you, I would keep offering. Maybe Elsa will give in eventually," Kristoff suggested.
"Good idea. On the bright side, Elsa is taking the day off tomorrow, so we'll be able to catch up and have fun," Anna said.
"Sounds like a good plan!" Kristoff said.
"What about you? Is the ice business going okay?" Anna asked.
"Yeah, it is, actually. Sven and I care leaving early tomorrow to harvest some more ice," Kristoff said.
"Cool! Hey, do you want to have dinner with me and Elsa?" Anna asked.
"Sure… What are you having?" Kristoff asked.
"Smordampete Nypoteter," Anna said.
"…What in the world did you just say?" Kristoff asked.
Anna laughed.
"It's butter steamed potatoes. Oh, and there will be dessert! Something chocolate!" Anna said.
"Sounds delicious!" Kristoff said.
Anna smiled and stepped closer to the blonde man. He smiled and started kissing her sweetly on the lips, which the redhead gladly returned.
Sven suddenly grunted. Anna and Kristoff pulled away and looked at him.
"I thought you were napping," Kristoff said, smirking.
"How can I sleep with all this talking and kissing?" Kristoff said for Sven.
"Fine, Mr. Grumpy. Anna and I need to get to dinner anyway," Kristoff said.
He took Anna's hand and they both walked and exited the stables.
"So, are you excited for your day with Elsa tomorrow?" Kristoff asked.
"More than excited! We're going to have a blast!" Anna said.
Kristoff smiled at Anna's excitement. They both walked into the castle and into the dining room, and were both hit with the aromas of the potatoes. One of the servants, Gerda, saw them coming.
"Good evening, Princess Anna and Master Kristoff. Dinner will served shortly," she said.
"Thank you, Gerda. Is Elsa still working?" Anna asked.
"Indeed, my Lady. She should be here soon," Gerda said.
"Okay… Ooh, and what dessert did Elsa request?" Anna asked.
Gerda chuckled.
"She asked for chocolate cake," Gerda said.
"Yes! My favorite!" Anna exclaimed.
Kristoff and Anna sat down at the table, waiting patiently for Elsa and for the food. After a few minutes, Elsa entered the dining room.
"Elsa! You're just in time!" Anna said, pointing to the cooks, who exited the kitchen with the meal.
"A queen has to be punctual," Elsa said, sitting next to her little sister.
Anna playfully rolled her eyes.
"Whatever you say, your majesty," Anna said, jokingly.
The cooks set the food on the table. Elsa, Anna, and Kristoff all helped themselves and spooned a lot of potatoes onto their plates.
Right before Anna put the food in her mouth, she suddenly felt a surge of heat go through her. She quietly groaned and rubbed her temples with her fingers. Elsa noticed this.
"Anna, are you alright?" Elsa asked, concerned.
Anna blinked a few times and put her hands on her cheeks.
"Yeah… I just… feel a little warm, that's all," Anna said, trying to brush it off.
Elsa stood up and placed a hand on Anna's forehead.
"I think you might be running a fever, Anna," she said, moving her hand down to Anna's cheeks and neck.
"I'm sure it's nothing…" Anna said.
"Well, it's better to be safe than sorry. I want you to go upstairs and lay down," Elsa said.
"But Elsa, I'll miss the cake!" Anna said, whining.
"I'll save you some. Now please, go rest," Elsa said.
Anna sighed sadly and walked out of the dining hall. Elsa sat down and resumed eating, not really able to enjoy it due to her feeling so worried.
I hope you liked it!
