"KRISTOFF WE HAVE TO SEE THE FLOATING LIGHTS!" Anna was jumping up and down at the way Flynn described it, "We have too! It sounds so pretty and romantic and we can bring Sven and Olaf and Elsa could come too and it would be so great!"
Kristoff slipped his hand into Anna's as they walked through Arendale as the sun set, and smiled, enjoying their time alone together.
"We could totally do that, I mean, when was the last time Arendale sent a-" Kristoff made air quotes with his fingers "- 'dignitary' to Corona?"
Anna giggled with excitement, "I'm so glad I have you Kristoff, you're the first friend I made in a long time," she gave him a long kiss on the lips, and whispered, "a great friend."
Kristoff smiled down at Anna's petite frame, and placed his hand on her hips, and pulled her into a deeper kiss.
"I'm glad I have you too," he grinned.
"It's really sweet though, you know," Anna said.
"What is?"
"Their story, the whole unlikely friends bump into each other and she had to bribe him to help her and they didn't get along at all at first and on the way they fell in love and just ahhhh!"
"Hmm…" Kristoff tapped his chin dramatically, "Does that remind you of anyone we know?"
Rapunzel and Flynn sat with Elsa still, telling of regaling tales of Corona. Elsa loved these two, they were so obviously in love, and it warmed her heart, especially after hearing their story.
"So, Elsa, I've been kinda curious...I know my powers came from the flower, but where did yours come from?" Rapunzel asked.
"Well, I don't really know, to be honest, I just HAVE them, just born that way I guess," Elsa twisted at her braid, running her fingers over the ice crystals that were interwoven.
"How funny is it, two people from the same family, are both born with magical abilities?" Rapunzel said.
"Maybe you guys have another cousin who can breathe fire, or an aunt who can shapeshift?" Eugene retorted.
Elsa laughed, "I'd like to see that"
The trio continued on until late into the night making jokes and telling stories and all around enjoying each other's company, Anna and Kristoff dropped back in for a time, but the newly engaged couple quickly retired to their respective rooms. Eventually Rapunzel and a slightly drunk Eugene departed as well, leaving Elsa alone at the table.
Elsa stood to leave the room, and departed but as she ascended the stairs, she got to thinking, what HAD caused her powers? Why could she control ice and snow, surely she wasn't just born from two normal, albeit royal, parents. Something had to be awry. She would check the library in the morning, maybe there would be something to help her figure out what her. Maybe.
Eugene's rosy cheeks and silly way of speaking was endearing to Rapunzel, because he was usually so suave and collected, it was cute to see him awkward and clumsy.
"Ya know, Blondie," Eugene started, "I like it here, we should hic! go on trips more often."
Rapunzel slid her hand into his when he tried to open up the wrong door, "I agree, c'mon Eugene, our room is this way."
"Oh! I knew that!" Eugene patted the door, "sorry buddy."
Rapunzel smiled, he was so confused.
"Eugene?"
"Yup Blondie?"
"I love you."
"You know what, Blondie?" he said, pulling Rapunzel's face into a sloppy kiss, with entirely too much tongue, "I love you too."
