Hey, what is up? I'm back with a new chapter.
Thanks to those that have followed and set this as a favorite for this story! You guys rock!
The story for the most part will pick up after a few chapters, I think... I don't really know the exact amount because I have a few that are about the sisters and their bond before all the fun with being hit with ice powers begins. I think there is two more chapters of the sisters playing together before the ballroom scene, but I have to double-check.
Now, for the boring part: I don't own Frozen or its characters. I wish I did, I only own this idea to swap ages of all the characters.
Chapter Two
Roommate
Arendelle, Norway. April 17, 1790.
A loud squeal sounded through the hallways as Anna chased her sister down the hall, locked in what looked like a race to the ballroom, Elsa in the lead with Anna closely behind her. The two girls always played with each other around lunchtime as it was the only break Anna had in-between her lessons to be with her little sister during the day.
"Better hurry Elsa, I'm gonna get you!" Anna teased, and laughing after her sister shriek of joy. Elsa tried to get her tiny legs to move faster, making her look like she was waddling at a very fast pace down the hallway, the miniature braid bouncing around her back as she landed each step. Anna picked up her speed to easily catch up with her sister, who had squealed again when she spotted Anna right behind her. Anna lunged after Elsa, pretending to miss in order to make Elsa think she was winning. Anna repeated this action two more times before she actually grabbed Elsa when the entered the study, her arms wrapping around Elsa's tiny waist and hoisting her into the air. Anna carried her to a nearby couch, and gently dropped her on the soft cushions. "I got you!" Anna proclaimed and started tickling her. Elsa shrieked again, unable to control her laughter as her older sister continued to tickle her.
"Anna! A-Anna! Stop it!" Elsa screamed out in joy, trying to push the girl's hands out of the way. Anna only giggled again as she moved her hands away from Elsa's hands and gripped one of her legs. Taking off the shoe, she lightly gripped the ankle and began to tickle her foot causing Elsa to scream out in laughter again at the new sensation. Once Anna felt that this foot had enough, she repeated the action to the other leg, gaining the same results. Anna released the foot and returned to her stomach and tickled it, with Elsa still protesting through her laughs, screams, and giggles. With an unconscious flick of her wrist, Elsa created a mound of snow that moved Anna out of reach. Anna gasped as she was suddenly pushed away from Elsa by a pile of snow. She was used to these things happening, after all her sister was born with the power to control ice and snow, but it still did surprise her every once in a while. Like today's little demonstration.
"Haha, tickle bump!" Elsa laughed. Anna poked her head over the top of the mound to look down at her three year old sister in confusion. What was a tickle bump? Not that she had the answer for herself, but she assumed it was going to be a nickname for something, Elsa had a lot of those. Na-nah was for her blanket when she was a year and a half, then there was bub-bar which meant chocolate when she was around two. Although, if it stood for chocolate it couldn't have been that bad of a nickname, and then there was something called a te-te, whatever that was for, probably for a bottle or something…
Point being, she had weird names for things. But Elsa was also still a toddler while she herself was eight, almost nine now, which is a big age gap. Not that Anna really cared about that, she loved Elsa all the same. Elsa was now jumping around because she came up with a new name for something fun. Anna decided to make it a little more of an actual thing, as well as something they could do together and slid down the side of the mound, landing next to her little sister with a smirk on her face. Quickly picking her up, she raced back up the side of the pile of snow and sat down on the top of it with Elsa in her lap.
"This is a tickle bump." Anna corrected as she pushed them off the top, sliding to the ground. Elsa giggled as they slide down the pile, before demanding to go again, and again enjoying her "tickle bump" as she was calling it. It was times like these that Anna loved the most, being able to play with her sister in between her princess classes. Or on weekends when they would spend the entire day playing in the ballroom or running around in the courtyard making snowmen.
"Anna! We play dolls now?" Elsa asked, her eyes wide with hope. Anna smiled, and opened her mouth to agree when their father walked through the doors, relieved that he found the two of them.
"Anna, there you are. Come, it's time for your afternoon lessons." He stated calmly. Anna didn't miss the heartbreaking look in her little sisters eyes, but she also didn't miss the semi-urgent look her father gave her either. Taking a deep breath, she looked down at her sister.
"Not now Elsa," Anna answered, knowing that she had to go to her lessons whether she wanted to or not, "But we can play dolls for as long as you want later, okay?" Anna smiled, getting down on one knee to talk to her sister.
"Really?" Elsa asked, not able to comprehend the fact that she could play dolls for as long as she wanted to with her sister.
"Yes. Really. I have to go to my lessons first, but we will play dolls after. Okay. I promise." Anna smiled, taking her sisters hand as she stood up.
"Okay!" Elsa shouted in glee, holding on her sister's hand. Deciding to change the topic, she looked towards their father, and distracting Elsa enough so that she wouldn't freak out when Anna didn't come to her room right away to play with her. Elsa had always seemed to get things that a normal three year old wouldn't pick up on, and she was very intelligent. But Anna wouldn't change any of it for the world, she loved her sister so much and made sure that Elsa knew that every day.
"Look Elsa, Papa's here." Anna stated encouragingly, motioning to their father standing in the doorway.
"Papa!" Elsa screamed, letting go of Anna's hand and running towards the King, wrapping her small arms around his legs when she reached him.
"Hello Elsa. How was your day today?" He asked, prying her arms off of his legs and bending down to meet Elsa's eye level.
"The best! Anna and I did so much! She said we can play dolls!" Elsa squealed, her rambling trailing off as she continued to talk about how her and Anna were going to play with their dolls later.
"Is that so? Well, it sounds like you had fun." The King chuckled, "Why don't we go lay down for a quick nap? That way you won't be sleepy when Anna comes to play with you later."
"Okay." She agreed, trying and failing to hold back a yawn.
"Okay," He nodded, picking up the little girl and looked over at his other daughter, "Anna, we should head over to your lessons now. You don't want to be late."
"I know, I know. I'm going now." Anna replied, trudging down the hallway with her dad to her lessons.
Did these lessons always have to be this boring? Her teacher, Miss Gertrude Donaldson, was boring as ever with her monotone voice and old lady smell trying to give Anna her lesson of Arendelle's history. Anna had already zoned out, waiting for her teacher to finish the lesson so she could find Elsa and play with her again. Luckily this was her last lesson, so her dream was about to come true.
"Any questions, your highness?" Miss Donaldson asked, waiting for Anna to reply.
"Wha- Hmm, Oh! No, no questions. I think I got it all." Anna responded, coming out of her day dream as she did so.
"Well then, if that's true, I will see you tomorrow for you quiz. Good day you highness." And with that, Anna quickly cleared her desk, throwing it all in her bag, and rushed out the door. Here I come, Elsa, I'm finally done with my lessons. Anna thought as she rushed down the many hallways in the familiar route to get to her room. It seemed as if she would never reach her door, as if time had slowed down to a crawl. Finally reaching the door to her room, Anna burst through the doors to her room, only to find a lot had changed within its confines. Her room had shrunk in space with the newly added furniture. A second bed and dresser along with a chest that most likely held toys. A smile slowly spread across her face as recognized the new pieces in her room. Eventually a grin from ear to ear was plastered on her face because she got to share a room with Elsa now. This day could not have gotten any better.
"Anna!" A squeal came from her left, causing her to turn her head towards her sister who had come running over to her side, "Mama and Papa said we can share a room! We gonna have so much fun!"
"Yes. We will." Anna giggled, "So, what do you want to do?"
"Can we play dolls now?"
"Of course we can. I seem to remember saying I would play dolls for as long as you wanted after my lessons..." Anna grinned, dropping her pack over to the right side of the door and following her sister to her side of the bedroom to play with their dolls. Elsa had been in the middle of setting up a tea party, as Anna approached, and had all their dolls and stuffed animals seated nicely around the mini table that Anna usually used for reading or studying. Anna quickly pretended to adjust her cloths so that she could be a part of the party.
"You can sit next to Marshmallow and Mrs. Rabbit." Elsa directed, pointing between the two stuffed animals. One looked like a normal brown rabbit while the other looked like a really bad patch job of a white bear stuffed animal, the muzzle missing, had blue buttons for eyes, and a one of the hands was shredded and looked like a claw. Where the muzzle used to be was now a weird stitching of what looked like an under-bite with fanged teeth. Anna slightly cringed at the memory of how that happened, since it was her fault that it was torn apart. But the smile on her sister's face when she gave it back after trying to repair it was worth it. Elsa had been crying because it was ruined, but when Anna had come back with it somewhat sewn together, Elsa immediately hugged it and said that it looked better that before, causing Anna to smile. Other than the dolls that looked like both of the princesses, Marshmallow was Elsa's favorite because Anna had tried to fix it for her after it ripped.
"Okay." Anna smiled, before changing her voice to a more snooty tone, "Good evening Mr. Marshmallow, good evening Mrs. Rabbit. How was your day?"
After a few seconds had passes, Anna replied as if the two animals had spoken back to her, "Oh really, well I have to say that it must have been really bad to deal with that." She said in her snooty voice, causing Elsa to giggle.
"And what about our party hostess? I hear she is beautiful. Don't you agree?" Anna spoke towards the rabbit, causing Elsa to stare at her sister in awe.
"Really?" Elsa asked quietly.
"Of course you are. I would never lie to you about that." Anna responded normally, giving her little sister a loving smile before standing up and pulling her little sister into a hug, "You will always be pretty, and I love you." Elsa had returned the hug, grinning from ear to ear as she listened to her sister speak.
"I love you to, Anna."
The two continued to play for another hour in their tea party before a knock on the door caused the two sisters to look at the door as their mother came in the room.
"Girls, it's time for dinner." She said, smiling at the scene before her.
"Yay! Dinner!" Elsa shouted, rushing over to their mother as Anna slowly stood and walked over, leaving the room for the dining hall.
"Mama?" Anna asked.
"Yes, dear?"
"Why did you put Elsa's stuff in my room?" She asked, before realizing it sounded a little ungrateful, "Not that I'm upset, because I love it, I was just curious because I thought we were going to each have our own rooms and-"
"Your father and I thought it would be a good idea for the two of you to share a room." Her mother answered, smiling at Anna's rambling, "We thought it would be a nice surprise for you after your lessons."
"Thank you!" Anna squealed as she hugged her mother before running to catch up to her little sister at the end of the hall.
And done! So that's that, and I'll see you all for the next chapter. Peace!
