Hey Guys! Just wanting to say "It's GREAT to be back!" Geez, school really stinks when it's limiting my time to write but now it's... SUMMMER!

So that's all I have to say for the moment, but take note: I'm not good with writing Scottish so don't be alarmed, I'll correct it after I consult my friend, since she's an expert and all. Anyway, Enjoy the fic! (Gosh I missed saying that XD)


Far away in the Highlands of Scotland, the Kingdom of Dunbroch can be seen and inside; not a lot of people can be seen since it is after all, early in the morning. It was one of those days where everyone gets to sleep in, not rise in the earliest of mornings and do their duties right about now.

That applies to the young princess Merida, who was sprawled ungracefully on her bed but that did not seem to bother her. A smile tugging on her lips as she slept.

At the corner of her room though, a tiny wisp conjured up in thin air, looking around carefully as it looked for something…or someone.

Seeing the figure lying on bed, the spirit floated towards Merida. As the creature reached her face, Merida snorted, still asleep, and swipes the air like there might be a fly or a pest. Unfazed, it continued its journey until it reached her forehead, its ghostly limbs gently patted Merida's forehead, in hopes of waking her up.

No effect. Since the creature may have forgotten that it can't touch mortals; it can guide but it can't make contact on who it's guiding.

It let out a sound that could be a substitute for a sigh and proceeded to move over the desk, where a map of all the kingdoms could be seen. There was also an open book where different kingdom flags can be seen. It hovered on top of the book where there's one flag picked its interest; a flag where the center in it is a crocus, gold in color and the left half of the flag is purple while the right half is green.

The spirit hovered on top of it for a second, looking at it like it was trying to remember something. Unfortunately its train of thought was interrupted by a loud yawn and shuffling in the bed. It turned around and saw Merida already awake; she stretched her arms above her head and scratched her back.

The wisp then let out a sound that could be taken as a cry of excitement. Merida whirled around and jumped when she noticed the floating spirit. "A wisp?" she asked herself as she slowly got out of bed.

"I hope yer not sending me off to another quest, I already have enough trouble wi the last one" she said as it can understand her

Miraculously, it just nodded its head and waved its ghostly limbs as if it's inviting her or motioning her to follow. Curious, Mérida followed it and saw it led her to her desk where a lot of books are scattered about and open maps.

"Yeah, I know I'm not well organized, I'll clean it up later" she replied with a wave of her hand

It just shook its head and floated over the open book, where the flag with a golden crocus in the center and purple and green are divided in half of the flag.

Furrowing her brow, she picked up the book to get a closer look.

"It's a crocus? Not much can be found around here" she gave a careless shrug to the spirit. It let out a sound again but in annoyance as it hovered near the flag again, pointing at the name

"Ar-en-de-lle? Arendelle, is that where will ye take me?" she asked

Before it could answer though, the door to her room swung open and came in her mother with an excited look on her face, carrying an envelope where the crest of the flag in her book is seen.

"I take it as a yes then" she thought begrudgingly, she glanced over to her shoulder and was annoyed to find that the wisp was nowhere to be found. She bit back an audible sigh and asked her mother, though she already knows what's to come "what is it, Mum?"

Queen Elinor can't seem to hold back her excitement as she said "the kingdom of Arendelle sent out invitations to their Spring Festival, and we're invited!"

"Oh" was all she said and was engulfed into a hug

"Yes, can't you imagine it? I have a friend who used to be there, the late Queen Idun precisely and turns out, it's now her daughter running the kingdom, isn't it exciting?"

"Yes?" she answered unsurely

Seeming to forget herself, Elinor cleared her throat "Well, as you know it is rude to turn down the invitation so I decided-

-that ye want me to come with you?" Merida cut her off

To her surprise though Elinor said "no, because…and I'm saying this because I trust ye very much dear, that you are the only one going"

That was not what she expected and it was clearly evident to the Queen when she said "what?"

Well, she did know it was coming anyway but still…"Mum!" she groaned as she lay back on her bed, placing her head on her pillow

"Aye, Merida, this might be a good experience to ye! You get to meet a lot of princesses around yer age, maybe ye might learn a thing or two from them, and it is better than staying coup up all er with a lot of these men mind ye" she placed her hands on her hip seeing her daughter won't relent

Sighing then smirking as an idea formed in her head. She sat down on Merida's bed next to her and said "Well, if ye really don't want to go, there is a feast in honor of a successful hunt, I could invite young Dingwall-

-When do I leave?!" Merida asked as she shot up from bed and rummaged around her room, packing up her bags

Queen Elinor just sighed and shook her head in amusement as she tried to ease her daughter's alarmed mind and helped her pack.


In the kingdom of Corona, and inside the castle, a figure ran fast as his legs can carry, occasionally bumping into walking maids and guards.

"Hey!" said one maid

"Sorry!" the figure said as he ran towards a garden and climbed up a tree faster that could have made a chipmunk jealous

Panting tiredly as he leaned on the tree, checking to see if no one else saw him, he wiped his brow and sighed in relief.

Feeling something moved, he raised his hand to see a long rope tied around his wrist. His eyes widened and all he let out was a pained "Oh, no" before he was pulled down from the tree and crash on the ground. With his face planted on the ground, he looked up to see his wife smiling down at him as she said "Gotcha" in a smug manner with Pascal laughing or what would pass for laughing in a chameleon.

Removing his face off the ground, he fixed his coat as he laughed and said "alright blondie, you got me"

Grinning she said as she counted her fingers "that's thirty-two for me, how about thirty three over thirty five?"

Before he could say something an old voice filled their ears "Hey you two! Keep all your flirting to yourself!"

They both looked up to see the former Queen of Corona, a lady in her late sixties but still maintained a regal air around her looking out of her window raising her cane in a threatening manner.

"Sorry Nana!" Rapunzel apologized awkwardly as she gently helped remove the rope off Eugene's wrist who was chuckling at all this

Then the old woman's tone softened at this saying "Oh no dear, I'm not mad at you"

The ex-thief whispered "see?" grinning slightly but it dropped after the woman said "I was yelling at that thief with you!"

Rapunzel giggled at that as Flynn muttered "whatever" then jumped when he felt one of Rapunzel's Nana's curlers thrown at him and hit him at the back of his head saying "I heard that"

Smiling and shaking her head, the former magical princess decided to pull him inside to save him from "Nana's attacks" all the while laughing as he grumbled.

Once out of her sight, Rapunzel fixed his coat while Eugene ranted…again

"Why does she keep doing that?! I mean hello! What part of EX-THIEF does she not understand?" he said in displeasure as he crossed his arms like a child

"Just don't mind her Flynn, remember, she's…you know, old?" Rapunzel tried to appease her husband.

"Yeah, yeah but how can I make everyone see I've change if they won't even give me a chance" he sighed as he bowed his head

Eyes softening, she brought her hand under his chin so that he was looking at her "Hey, chin up, just be patient" she offered

Smiling, he tilted her chin and made a move to kiss her and Rapunzel closed her eyes, waiting for it but was startled when her husband let out an "OW!" and turned when she saw her Nana next to her, cane raised in the air and with her other hand on her hip "Hey, if you two love birds are done, Thomas says there's a family meeting in the dining hall" with that, she left like she didn't interrupt some kind of moment or something.

Eugene gestured to the old woman like he was saying "See what I mean?!" causing his wife to shake her head no fondly and pulled him towards the dining hall.


Once every family member is present, King Thomas stood up from his chair and hugged his daughter and son in law. He could have hugged the former Queen of Corona but let's just say he and she aren't exactly in good terms. Queen Primrose did the same but she also hugged her mother and once everyone exchanged pleasantries, they all sat down on their respective chairs.

Thomas cleared his throat, to signal he was going to start "the reason I called for this meeting is because I have joyous news-

-You're finally going to divorce my daughter?!" came the a little bit eager guess of the former Queen and with that, Primrose would have choked on her drink

"Mother!" she scolded but the old woman didn't seem fazed and sat back down, as she muttered "there's nothing bad with hoping dear"

Clearing his throat again, he continued "Ahem…as I was saying, I have joyous news to share with you all and it turns out, Primrose's younger sister's daughter, Queen Elsa, and I'm sure both of you know of her by now?" he directed the question to the two young couple who nodded

"Though we didn't actually meet due to her…accidental winter" Rapunzel piped in recalling the events last summer

"Yeah, it was really cold and it was summer might I add" Eugene added

"She wasn't that bad, she's just misunderstood but in the end, she thawed her kingdom with the help of her sister" Rapunzel finished happily

"Right…well it turns out that their kingdom is holding a festival for Spring, and we're invited and hoped to attend"

"Really?!" the young brunette exclaimed excitedly

"Really?!" Eugene exclaimed in horror

The king was amused at this, seeing their different reactions towards this news "Yes, and it appears that this would be a wonderful family trip so I expect that all of you will now pack and best get ready for we are leaving now"

Rapunzel cheered and grabbed Flynn by the arm as he was now being pulled against his will, in her excitement, the King and Queen and the former Queen looked at the fallen chameleon Rapunzel accidentally left as it ran after the two.

Shaking his head fondly at his daughter's antics, he turned as his wife asked "But dear, who would be in charge whilst we're gone?"

"I'm sure Corona will be fine, remember we have the Pub thugs guarding the kingdom for us" at that statement the former Queen would have a heart attack at what he just said

Queen Primrose just nodded in acknowledgement knowing those people can be fully trusted, right?

Then seeing that's the end of the conversation, King Thomas offered his hand to his Queen and went towards the doors, preparing to pack for the trip as well.

The former Queen of Corona just stared at them like they were crazy which to her, seemed like it yet she walked towards her room to prepare for the journey to Arendelle; thinking that it's going to be a long trip.


Faraway, north of Arendelle, lay the Kingdom of the Northern Isles. The kingdom was prosperous under their king's rule. Even after the devastating passing of the Queen after she had given birth to a son, the King moved on and raised his son on his own.

He did not even bother to find another wife, for he would never bring himself to love another than his beautiful Queen.

Inside the Royal Castle, an aged butler walked along the seemingly endless halls, crossing paintings and others hanged and stopping next to a neatly decorated door, the king's office.

He knocked on the door, his other hand holding a tray where letters that were sent today are placed neatly and waited for the permission to enter.

"Come in" came a voice that held an air of authority in it but also laced with age

The butler silently entered and said "Your Majesty, I have received letters that are addressed to you and in need of your reply"

The old king turned from where he sat from his desk and stood up to greet his trusted steward and friend "ah, Grim, still into titles I see, come on now, I thought we've been through this" he replied in a joking manner

Grim just chuckled "I see you still haven't changed a bit, my friend" then he placed the tray of letters on top of his desk where the King took them in his grasp

"hmm, Weselton's demanding we establish trade with them…again, I'll see to it later, the Western Isles are in need of some supplies, I would talk to the council about it and…ah, Arendelle, it's been a while since I've heard from them, my old friends', God bless Agdar's soul and Idun's, daughter is inviting us to their Spring Festival…well, I couldn't possibly say no but I can't possibly say yes either, there's still much work to do here" the King mused

The old butler sighed, seeing his friend going back to his habit of talking to himself again but still offered a suggestion "if I may, Your Majesty but what if the young prince were to sail towards Arendelle in your stead?"

The king thought it for a moment then smiled "What a splendid idea! It has been a while since the young man left our kingdom, Grim, be a fellow and please summon my son. Come to think of it, I haven't seen him early this morning" he stated

Grim only chuckled and said "well, if I know your son better; I would take a pretty good guess where's he at…" he trailed off as he stared at the window where the village of the kingdom has a good view.

The king took a moment to register what he meant then laughed at that. After a few seconds he sighed in contentment and gazed at the painting of his late wife hanged on the wall which was at the side of his desk "Amelia would be very proud of him" he muttered

Without removing his gaze at the window, Grim merely whispered "she is."


"Help!" cried out the woman who was aging towards her late forties as she caught sight of her satchel being stolen from a hooded man who broke into a sprint right after he heard her.

Many onlookers tried to help her but he was just too fast as he just pushed pass people uncaringly. He was almost out of their sight when the sounds of galloping hooves entered his ears. Glancing behind him, he gasped in shock as he saw a broad shouldered man holding onto his horse's reins giving chase after him.

The crook ran faster as he rounded a corner, pushing a cart stacked with some fruits out of the way that caused it to fall in hopes of stopping his pursuer. The person owning that stand cried out in shock.

The bandit smirked to himself seeing his accomplishment but it soon vanish when the rider guided his horse with expertise; his pace never slowing and it only increased.

The man gasped as he ran again but made a mistake when he took a right turn as he came face to face with a brick wall. He scrambled for another exit but found none. He gulped when he heard the hooves stopping just a few feet behind him and the sound of the rider getting of his steed.

Now that the rider was standing in front of him, the bandit caught sight of his features. His messy but managed to be still kept brown hair was all wrangled up but only a few tufts were astray. His clothes however were just a single blue shirt, a white vest on top usually what the usual commoners here in the village wore and black riding pants and his shoes.

Hazel brown eyes stared down at him as he gulped nervously. The young man who seemed to be around twenty five neared him as he said, voice smooth as a newly frozen lake "Hand it over" perfectly calm.

The bandit just stood his ground as he tried to rasp out "o-oh yeah? Wha-what…are you…go-gonna do…about it…bucko!"

The young man sighed in annoyance but then seemed to obtain an air of cockiness as he unsheathed his sword, pointed at the thief. The young man smiled as he watched the man shake a little bit. "You were saying?"


The elderly woman glanced between the two men who are standing in front of her; the first man was quivering in fear, as he silently muttered an apology and handing back her satchel while the second man was behind the first, keeping a close watch on him.

"P-please forgive m-me, ma'am!" he blurted out for the hundredth time that day

The elder could only nod in return and said a few words stating to never do that again or there'll be greater punishment. The bandit just glanced at the man behind him as if asking if he was good to go and sighed out loud when he heard the permission to leave. With that, he sprinted off as fast as his legs could allow him.

They both watched him leave before the woman turned to the young man "thank you dearie, for handling that man"

The said person just turned to look at her and smiled "no problem, anything to help my subjects out" then gasped as he said those words

"Subjects, Your Highness?" she asked in amusement

"Oh man…" he groaned as he gripped his brown hair

The elderly woman giggled at him as she gently patted his hand that was gripping the hilt of his sword "no worries, I already know it was you but don't worry; I won't tell a single soul, though if you don't mind me saying sweetie, you ought to choose a better disguise" she chastised playfully

The prince could only blush at that "uh, of course, I'll…I'll try to remember that" he said then bowed to her to which she curtsy in return then left to go to his horse but then faintly heard the old woman said "oh and Prince Elliott, do keep our conversation a secret; I was never here"

"Uh, did you say something Ms.…" he trailed off as he turned around only to see the woman has disappeared

He glanced around for any sign of her then shrugged as he made his way over town, looking around. Suddenly, he bumped into something or someone…

He backed a few steps then sighed in relief seeing it was just his bodyguard. "Oh, thank goodness it's just you" he said, chuckling a little as he fix his clothes

The tall menacing man said nothing, glaring only at him. From the time Elliott met him he clearly predicted that he was just a man of few words. Funny seeing he has been working as his bodyguard for as long as he could remember yet he could never pronounce his name right, or even remember it for that matter.

Trying a different approach the northern prince tried to ease the guard's unreadable concern "listen, I know I shouldn't run off like that but there's this-whoa! What are you doing?!"

The tall man carried and placed the dumbfounded prince on his shoulder like a sack of potatoes and retreated back towards the castle. "Hey! I can walk you know?" the young man protested as he tried to get out of the man's grip but to no avail.

He slumped back in defeat and covered his face with his hands to shield himself from the eyes staring at him as they walked.

Villagers chuckled among themselves but found this scene quite usual seeing it wasn't the first time in this kingdom the prince ran off.

"There better be a good explanation for this" the prince grumbled. His horsed neighed beside him.


The sound of a crow squawking filled the chambers of a dimly lit room. The figure just stared outside of his window inside his office, looking at the deserted streets in the village. There was not much signs of life that can be seen in town, the houses closed and the only indication that there were still people occupying one is the lights behind the windows of homes. Guards and men in grey armor, bearing the insignia of the kingdom, patrolled the area.

The man turned his gaze wordlessly at the corner of the room, where an old chest lay. He strode towards it, his hand resting on top of it as he murmured "soon, the final piece will be claimed…" as he gently patted the top, staring at the portrait across him; a portrait of a Kingdom.

Without turning back, the man said to the person that was in the room the whole time but kept silent "George, have a ship prepared for me after my meeting, I think it's time to pay an old place an overdue visit…wouldn't you agree?"

The silent man named George snickered and bowed as he left the room. All the while the figure smiled, placing the folded letter on top of his desk before the door slammed shut behind him.

As he left, the wind managed to enter the room through the opened window at the side; gently blowing the folded parchment off the desk as it lightly landed on the floor, the letter having unfolded as a name was shown, Arendelle.


Fire there was fire everywhere in the village of Arendelle. Gerda could only gasp as she saw the destruction caused. She glanced at the houses, burning and reduced to ashes, the people, running about as creatures undistinguishable to her chase each Arendellian citizen, she ran as a moving figure gave chase. She passed by trees, trying to escape her assailant.

She ran, Gerda didn't know where she is, she just ran. Every turn she made was like a maze, until a wall of ice raised from the ground, stopping on her path. She tried going to the side but a wall was raised again, and another at her side, trapping her.

The only way out was the way she came here but that was out of the question, her blood ran cold as she heard the distinctive sound of footsteps, growing nearer.

She turned to face the attacker but the figure was blurry, it was at that moment Gerda realized it was night time, the sounds of screams and the smell of smoke filled her senses as the figure continued walking towards her, the silhouette the only thing she could see in the moment.

A silhouette of a familiar girl, there's no mistaking it. A mother never forgets.

"…E-Elsa?" Gerda asked, in disbelief, cannot believe the sweet little girl she raised and loved was the one responsible for all this destruction.

Elsa said nothing, only raised her hands that were glowing blue as she fired.

Gerda bolted upright, panting as she glanced at her side to see her husband, Kai still asleep. She breathes in and out, trying to steady her heart. She silently got out of the covers and gently fixed them, trying not to wake her husband up.

Now standing up, she fixed her hair and prepared herself even though it's still early in the morning. After brushing up, she opened the door and stepped outside for some air, thinking the sun rise might sooth her troubles from the nightmare she had.

Walking along the halls, occasionally greeting maids who woke up early as well and passed by the familiar snowflake covered door. She stopped just a few feet from it, having an inner battle within herself if she would follow through what she thought was best.

Sighing thinking a peak wouldn't hurt and since no one was around or going to pass by, she knocked gently on the door, waiting for a few minutes yet not hearing a reply, Gerda took a deep breath and opened the door by an inch, enough for her to spot a figure peacefully sleeping in her bed.

Gerda mentally berated herself for thinking that the Queen is in trouble, and made a move to continue her duties but the motherly side of her wasn't satisfied. Sighing, she opened the door gently and quietly as she could and neared the sleeping woman.

She sighed in relief that Elsa is not harmed and feeling silly for thinking of such but some part of her can't stop thinking about her dream, though it was highly unlikely that the girl in her dream was anything like the girl lying peacefully in bed, softly snoring.

Before she could stop herself, Gerda gently brushed away some of Elsa's bangs in her eyes and caressing her hair like she did when Elsa was younger and needed comforting. "Dream or not, I promised your parents that I would take care of you both, and I will keep that promise even until my last breathe." Gerda whispered, still caressing her hair.

Finally thinking she will be alright, Gerda planted a small kiss on Elsa's forehead and went for the door, looking over her shoulder "I love you Snowflake, I hope you always remember that" Gerda whispered one last time and left the room, softly shutting the door behind her.

Outside the hall, Gerda sighed one more time and continued where she was heading.


The sun barely reached the sky yet when a lone man carrying a pole with decorations and placed it down in the selected spot as he sang "the sun comes up; the moon goes down, just another day in this very town" he started as walked by.

He passed by a house where two parents can be seen from the window "There's tea to brew…" the father trailed off "…and buns to bake" the mother added as they walked over to their child's bed "and some who just refuse to wake…" they both sang with a sigh

The village suddenly spring to life as a shopkeeper sang "while shops are stocked and flocks are fed"

Another shopkeeper sang "the midnight men drift home to bed" as he saw the said men pass by

A few distances away, a school teacher sang "school bells chime, and church bells ring" as she shoos the children "Children whine…" they sang passing by a merchant "Peddlers sing…"

Then everyone glanced as ships began entering the docks of their kingdom, sailors getting down to catch barrels and moving crates.

Everyone then spring into life as every man, woman, and child got out of their houses to do their routinely duties "Another day in Arendelle, come and we'll treat you well! Everyone knows someone; come there's no need to yell."

One villager sang "We bring our geese…" another sang "…our finest fleece to please the keenest eye…"

Another sang "…and hope and pray someone will say, there's something they might buy"

Down in the market place as another shopkeeper sang as he opened his booth "with pigs to slop and fish to gut" Another sang next to him "It ain't exactly heaven but..."

People began scurrying to and fro as they passed by each other and a beggar sang "We thank the Lord and kiss the ground. For bed and board in this very town"

Inside a noble home a butler passed by a room "the upper crust lie fast asleep" he sang and a maid followed suit but dropped a broom as she walked "but some of us has got floors to sweep"

"One day's not like the day before" they both sang as the butler picked up the broom

Up the towers of the castle of Arendelle, one soldier yawned as he leaned on the wall behind him "can't complain…" he drowned out to his companion, who leaned just not afar from him, drinking a bottle of Ale "…if there's no war" the second soldier finished and took a small swing when he suddenly spitted out the bottle's contents when he saw the Princess of Arendelle running out of the gates, especially at this time of day.

A lone stranger then walked inside a shop, dipping his cowboy hat slightly as a sign of acknowledgement yet the shopkeeper didn't notice him as he gasps and said "Look up!" as he pointed towards his window

Curious, he stated "who's that?"

"That girl up in the tree?" a woman asked who heard the stranger and realized he must be new here and some folk came to look as an old man stated "it's not just a she, it's the princess…see?"

"Let's just all leave her be" one villager commented

Then a man pointed to the tree "Look there! I swear, she'll give us all a scare" he said with annoyance yet with a hint of amusement as a woman laughed "she's just so wild" she stated then a mother joined in their conversation "She's just a child!" she yelled, worried, motherly instincts and all

One of the teenagers unconsciously blurted out "I wish I had her hair!"

Kristoff finally arrived after being alerted by the guards and though they should have told their Queen first they didn't want to be turned into ice cubes for bringing stressful news, especially at this time of the day.

"Anna, could you come down here before you hurt yourself? I don't want to be a literal ice harvester just because I let the Queen's sister break a leg" the blonde man said with a hint of annoyance and fear, is that a good combination?

Up in the tree, no leaves since it's still slightly cold for some leaves to grow even when the first day of spring is nearing, the Princess of Arendelle smiled, oblivious of the people who were talking below her, enjoying the scenery the early morning can give her.

"My heart is pounding like a drum, I can't believe my eyes" she sang while smiling cheekily as she glanced down towards the decorations and the people preparing for the event that would be transpired in a few more days, all excited for the festival. "All the decorations seem to come in every shape and size"

"So many times I've dreamt the festival's already today…"

"So many stalls, so many guests I wonder what they will say?" Anna sang as she imagined the ball, Masquerade Ball to be exact, that will be held after the excitement in the town's square. "Arendelle is everything I've read and more"

"Arendelle is nothing like I've seen before"

"…from music and pleasant perfumes, to the people's happy merry tunes!"

A man came next to Kristoff as he stated "She's always sweet, she means us well"

"Really, how could you tell?" Kristoff asked with a hint of sarcasm then noticed Anna jumped off the tree and began running.

"I'll rue this day, just wait and see…" he muttered to himself and chase after her but slamming directly into a pole in his haste

"…or just hate it all together, that could be" someone commented with amusement

Meanwhile, Anna wandered deeper in the fine morning of Arendelle as she glanced at everything happily "How do they make houses, this so tall, could it be scribed?" she asked herself

"The things I smell, the things they sell, I never could describe" she entered the market and one shop keeper offered her a sample

"These cakes taste just like berries picked this very day!" she commented then shoved the half to an unsuspecting Kristoff who turned around confused but managed to throw a coin at the shopkeeper who looked at them with amusement.

Anna reached the docks as she smiled; breathed in the morning fresh air "the sight of the Fjord still takes my breath away…"

"Arendelle's as busy as a hive of bees" then she passed by a painter

"Elsa would just love this painting of trees" she sang as she remembered her sister being an artistic sort of type then smiled sadly as she glanced at the castle longingly then upon seeing her boyfriend she broke into a sprint. Again

"It may be crowded and loud but exciting too, making me crave for more something even new!"

"What a day in Arendelle, nothing strange at all" they all sang though there was a half lie there yet no one could care, too amused at this

"Except a girl with someone, maybe ten feet tall" a child commented as he passed by Kristoff

"This day's become a day no one is likely to forget. A day we'll all remember and the day isn't quite over yet!"

Anna passed by shops, happy people, and children running by as a man stated "Such beauty's rare, I'm quite impressed!"

"Arendelle is everything I've read and more" Anna continued to sing

"One mustn't stare, she's the princess!" an elder chided

"Arendelle is nothing like I've seen before"

"She has the strength of ten, that's what I heard" said an elderly man to a boy

"She's won the men just take my word" said a woman whispering to her group

"A brave young girl to go on an adventure" another said

"Music, dresses and pleasant perfumes…"

"This has to be torture" Kristoff muttered as he saw he was nearing Anna

"…and the people's happy merry tunes!"

Passing by a puppet show stand as the first puppet glances at her direction "Perhaps some brew to quench your thirst?" another puppet slapped him "Not with you, I saw her first!" causing the children watching to laugh

"What a day in Arendelle, another history was made! Take away the mystery, then you won't be afraid! Caused we've seen a girl!"

"I've seen the world!" Anna sang as she climbed up on a another tree higher than the last as she overlooked the village and saw the castle in a distance

"We never dreamed we'd see" they all sang in unison knowing they didn't know much of Arendelle's sweetest princess considering she wasn't in town much, as well as her sister

"I never dreamed I'd see"

"What an extra special day, unique in truly every way. How wonderful this Arendelle day…turned out to be!"

"Whoa!" Anna yelped as the branch she was leaning on gave away and closed her eyes to brace for the impact but it never came. Instead, she landed into something soft or better yet, someone.

"Can you please get off me, Anna?" grunted the voice

"Oops! Sorry Kristoff" Anna apologized when she realized it was her boyfriend and quickly stood up.

Massaging his head since it was the one hurting the most, he sighed then smiled amusingly at her "It's fine, you're really lucky I have a thick skull" he joked though winced when he pressed the side a little too hard.

Anna giggled a little then asked "um, not that I'm ungrateful or anything but why were you chasing me?"

"Chasing you? More like practically racing you around town! I was calling your name, Anna. I even yelled!" he said in disbelief, his mood changing so fast. Then it changed again, in a form of embarrassment when Anna laughed out loud.

Kristoff couldn't get any more redder than he is now so he just settled on crossing his arms. "Hahaha, very funny, are you done now?" he asked while somewhat pouting. Anna wiped away her tear that managed to escape and said "ye-yeah, I'm done" though there was still a hint of mirth in her eyes.

"Seriously though, I was kidding Kristoff, I heard you the moment you called out to me" she explained as she leaned in to hug him

"Why didn't you stop then?" he asked as he fought down another blush rising because, well…he isn't used to Anna's affections shown in public even though no one saw them.

Before Anna could utter a reply, one of the Arendellian guards came up to them as he said "My sincere apologies Your Highness but Kai wanted to speak to you"

"Oh, okay" she gave her boyfriend a peck on the cheek and said "we'll continue this conversation later, duty calls!" with a cheery smile; she went back towards the direction of the Royal Castle.

Minutes ticked by and all of a sudden the ice harvester asked "how did you know where Anna was?"

The guard merely chuckled then pointed at the sign hanging next to him. Upon seeing it, he muttered "of course…" with a hint of amusement when the sign read "Snow White Chocolate Shop" causing the both of them to chuckle.


Kai was just going over the papers when he suddenly heard a crash then proceeded by a "I'm sorry, so sorry! Though I swear it moved on its own! I really did!" then the door opened to see a giddy princess, panting but smiling all the same by the door.

The steward just raised an amuse brow then gestured towards Anna's foot. Glancing down, the girl saw it was a piece of the armor, shaking her foot until it was removed, unexpectedly it was thrown at the direction she came from and there was an audible crash, followed by a maid's shriek of surprise.

Glancing at her father figure, Anna could only say an "oops?" with a sheepish smile plastered on her face

"Oops indeed…" he replied good naturedly then cleared his throat "my sincere apologies calling you at this hour, especially when you seemed to be enjoying yourself with the people-

-its fine" Anna cut in with a dismissive wave of her hand as she plopped down on the couch

"Right, but it appears there are matters that I must tell you, Princess and though I should be discussing this with your sister, she appeared to be still sleeping and I know it is not my business but in my opinion, she…" he trailed off not knowing how to explain it

"Deserves it? I know, I'm just glad she finally slept in because really, she's working herself too hard"

"Indeed" he replied then clearing his throat once more "the reason I called you here Your Highness is to address a certain "small note" if you will regarding the invitations"

"What about it? Wait; don't tell me I accidentally gave one to Weaseltown!?" Anna exclaimed worriedly

"No, no ,no, nothing of that sort, Your Highness" Kai said as he calmed her down

"Phew! You scared me for a second there…"

"I'm afraid it could not be compared to more dire news but it has caught my attention that…the Kingdom of Gailene was sent a letter"

Anna blinked. Kai waited for her reaction but she just blinked so frowning as he asked "Your Highness?"

Then Anna erupted into a fit of giggles. Kai stared at her, wondering why this news seemed to amuse her when there is nothing to be laughing about, well to him anyway.

"I-I'm sorry Kai!...hahaha!...it's just…wow! Hahaha!..." it took Anna a few more minutes to recuperate when she finally calm down

She cleared her throat and finally calmed down enough to speak with her father figure "Sorry, it's just a second ago you had this horrified face just by a Kingdom's name. Seriously, are they at war or something?" she asked

"I'm afraid not Princess Anna, you see…" he trailed off again wondering how to put it "when you were younger, as well as Her Majesty, there was a visitor from this very kingdom. The king himself along with his only daughter, Princess Carla, visited our noble Kingdom to discuss trade with your father, King Agdar."

"Yes, I seem to remember that, or at least…I think I do" Anna said as she tried to recall the memories

"Yes, now when they were discussing trade, your father told the two of you to give the young princess a tour of the castle. Elsa was not with you at that time so he had you start the tour first as he asked a maid to call your sister. I could not recall the specific details on what happened next but when the young princess first laid eyes on your sister she was…err…smitten by her if you could put it"

Anna stared at him like he was crazy or just to see if he was joking at least.

He was not.

"You mean to tell me, my sister was fancied by a girl?"

He nodded gravely "Yes, and well, the young Elsa did not know at that time and just thought she was being friendly, I believed Princess Carla's infatuation for your sister grew when she showed her powers to her. I could still recall the shrieks and laughter of the girl"

"Wait, how could you tell if it was a crush or not, I mean it could be just idolizing her"

"Yes, I thought so myself but that's when the tour was over and you all were at the dining hall, the young princess blurted out and I quote "daddy, could I have Elsie as my wife someday?" or something of the sort. I swear, I was there at that time and I have never seen your father so caught off guard before the time the Queen announced the arrival of your sister of course. Poor Queen Idun nearly fainted at that time and well, to make matters worse, the King of Gailene said "in time, if Agdar agrees of course" and you could imagine your parents' shocked expressions"

Anna winced at that, knowing how indeed they were back then. At first it was odd when their Papa pulled off a tight smile and questioning if it was a joke or not, casting a hint of amusement but she could tell he was dead serious. Both their parents were a little conservative and the prospect of the same-sex marriage made no appeal to them. The people who are questioning their sexuality, their parents have no problem with that but anything beyond that was a no for them.

"Yeah, I get what you mean, Kai. I can recall that after dinner was dismissed, our parents gave us a long talk about that, more to Elsa than me though"

"Indeed, yet the princess seemed unfazed and her fond for your sister grew until it became into an…"

"…obsession?"

"Yes, gravely so, luckily it did not affect the trade between us and their Kingdom though every time the King was invited, be it a ball or a meeting, she was always there. Except of course, when the gates were closed."

The princess nodded in understanding. She still can't believe it though, that Elsa was fancied by the same-sex, a princess no less. She would have found it funny if it weren't for the fact of Princess Carla's obsession with her sister. She could recall in a short period of time when she visited, she was always paying more attention to Elsa than her. She didn't have a problem with that though; the only problem it gave Anna was when it bothered Elsa.

"I'm surprised she hasn't started giving letters again after the gates were open, maybe the eternal winter scared her off" she commented with hope, recalling the "love-letters" Elsa received even during their separation yet she knew Elsa didn't read them.

"I had hoped so but then, she did send more letters, more so than before if I might add" Kai said with a little bit of grimace

"Okay, so she hasn't gotten over my sister, and the trade still didn't affect us one bit?"

"I believe so, Your Highness, and sometimes there are more products than we expected that were talked about between the King and your father" Kai replied

The younger girl seemed surprised. Not all their trade partners were this generous, well sometimes Corona but still, after the Princess was rejected? Countless times no less. That girl was really set on having Elsa's love.

"or buying it" she thought, unable to hide her displeasure

"How much was added?" she asked

"I believed everything was doubled" came his reply and Anna's eyes widen at the amount

"Really, and the King was okay with this?"

"The King seemed to enjoy spoiling his child, as far from everyone knew, she was his "princess" and what she wants, she gets though I was surprised she did not wage war on us just for Queen Elsa's hand, seeing that if she could not marry her here, they could either marry in her kingdom since the people there have no qualms against same-sex marriages"

Anna stared at him with disbelief. True, the both of them were also spoiled by their parents but they were always taught to know when enough is enough and that 'not everything you want you can get immediately' talk with their parents. Their church was also not so keen on that kingdom's idea of allowing those kind of marriages.

"So…what do we do now?" Anna asked worriedly when she caught on what Kai was saying

"For now, nothing but the least you could do, Princess is to prepare your sister, since she isn't used to her constant flirting from before so she might freeze a thing or two on accident or when caught off guard." Kai answered already picturing another eternal winter.

"Are you sure? I mean, what if it isn't necessary, maybe this time she won't come?" Anna asked hopefully, afraid to break the news on her sister, especially when she finally got Elsa to relax a little

"I wish I could be optimistic as you are, Your Highness but I highly doubt that she would not come"

Anna gulped then sighed. "Okay, no hurt getting prepared, right? Thanks for telling me, Kai"

"It is my pleasure, Your Highness" he said and with a quick bow, he left the room. The door closed with a soft click and Anna was now alone with her thoughts.

"How weird, my sister getting hit-on by the same gender" Anna can't help but say out loud and chuckle a little then her brow furrowed as she mulled it over "Really, I can't believe she's obsessed though I mean, sheesh! Talk about getting a new hobby…" she trailed off

"Maybe…she's over Elsa right now, I mean since when was the last time Elsa got a letter from her? Yeah, I think Kai is just getting a little paranoid, yeah, that's right" Anna stated proudly

"…and I'm talking to myself, Kristoff is definitely rubbing on me" the princess muttered whole-heartedly. Finally at ease, she made her way towards the door "besides…there's no proof that she's still into my sister" she muttered with a sense of confidence so she opened the door and closed it behind her, preparing to spill the… bad news to her sister.


"DADDY!" came a shrill scream behind the large double doors as a servant ran in and asked "Princess? What happened, are you-

he didn't get to finish as the door opened and hit him squarely on the face. The servant recoiled in pain and shock, mostly pain, as he gripped his nose to soothe it.

A gi-err-woman came trudging out of the room in anger, barely sparing the shocked servant a glance as she made her to her father's study. "Oh, boy" he groaned out as he prepared himself for another of the "Spoiled-Princess's Attack" and limped over her room to see any sign of anything weird.

Nothing seemed out of ordinary, he noted. The room was just filled with sketches, portraits, drawings and was that a scarf? Anyway, all in all, the portraits and other drawings seemed to have one desired subject…a certain platinum blonde queen everyone heard of.

If he could recall, it was the Princess Elsa, now Queen. He sighed in admiration since during the times the staff and him seen her, and it was really rare might he add, they could tell she was a sweet young innocent soul, highly the opposite of the spoiled brat-of- a princess they were unfortunate to serve.

Some of the elder maids said that their brat-of-a-princess used to be a kind and generous young thing. Many could have laughed at that remark, what happened? Many asked themselves.

Others gossiped about her affections towards the kind Queen of Arendelle, ever since they arrived back from Arendelle the girl ordered every known painter to paint her a portrait of the young princess from before and it was a difficult task considering they have to sail towards said kingdom and ask the permission from the princess herself. The poor souls were lucky that the monarch was merciful unlike their own who even threatened to slit their throats if they failed.

That did not stop from there. Their Princess sent letters of proposals to the beautiful princess Elsa though many came back with no responses. Many bet their own lives they were either burned or thrown away. Time and time the princess refused to give up and it turned into an unhealthy obsession. Her rudeness and inappropriate behavior put some of her suitors off and it only increased when the Kingdom of Arendelle closed the gates.

"If the princess turned Queen, then gods helps us all" He thought glumly, closing the door of the Princess's room


The King of Gailene was peacefully re-reading a letter from various kingdoms and he did not even flinch when the doors opened with a slam as his "darling" princess sauntered in with a feral look.

"Daddy what is this?" she asked with a tone that shouldn't be used on parents, holding a parchment

Yet the father remained unfazed as he glanced at it "An invitation from Arendelle for their Spring Festival" he replied

"Yes, and may I ask why I was not made aware of it earlier?"

"You and I both know it could take days for a letter to arrive here and be grateful it did arrive" the King answered with a calmer tone. Everyone find it a mystery that only the king could act so calm before his own daughter.

The princess seemed to calm down a bit as she mulled it over "Hmm…I guess you're right, well, what are you waiting for!? Send a reply that we'll be coming! I can't keep my darling Elsa waiting!" she ordered with a dreamy look as she recalled the platinum blonde beauty, her lips, her laugh, her bright blue eyes sparkli-

"I'm afraid I could not do that" he said, snapping her out of her day dreaming

Time seemed to stop as the woman glared at her father. Never in her years have she experienced being denied anything, especially from her father of all people.

"Excuse me?" she asked in a tone that could make anyone's blood run cold

"You heard me…" the king rose from his chair to stand in front of her, matching her stare. Green eyes stared at Gray ones, just daring the other to submit.

"…your obsession with Arendelle's queen is tolerable but that kind of behavior is not. I now realized my mistake over the years and I know I could not undo what I have done but I'm willing to at least correct it. Starting now, Carla, you have been mean to our staff, disrespected our good name and shamed our kingdom over the years. Trade has been strained through many kingdoms, possibly due for the fact of the mistreatment of your past suitors." He gave her a pointed look

"Hmph! Those idiots should have known by now I'm not interested in them!"

"Yes, and I fully respect that but that does not mean you can disrespect them, they are still princes for Christ's sake!" he bellowed then calmed himself

"Carla, I think you should stop your pursuit on Queen Elsa, many could see she is not interested and you're only embarrassing yourself" and at that statement, Princess Carla shot back

"EMBARRASING MYSELF?! Hah! Don't lie to me Father I know you are as well but I don't care! I will have her and when I want something…" she trailed off as she stared at the king, straight in the eye as she leered at him "… I...GET...It..." she punctuated each word sharply, glaring into the eyes of the man but his resolve did not melt.

Both stared down at each other, trying to out-do one another but both seemed to hold their gaze. The king could not lose this battle, time and time again he heard complaints from his staff, subjects and nearby kingdoms that had their prince try and pursue his daughter's hand and yet at that time he did not seem to mind,now he found he could not allow his daughter act such a childish way.

He now saw the mistake he made and he could have prevented if he weren't so blindsided. He was snapped out of his reverie when his daughter's voice called out to him. He turned and his shoulder's sagged when upon seeing the portrait of his late wife.

Princess Carla hesitantly run her delicate fingers over the picture, and hid her smirk as she saw her father's eyes soften.

"You really love mother, don't you?" she slowly asked as her thumb grazed over her mother's smiling face, lightly caressing her cheek "You…always said I was like an exact copy of her…" she stated knowing it is true.

The similarities were uncanny as the said woman inherited her mother's raven hair, green shining eyes and rosy lips. The only thing the woman inherited from her father was his nose but other than that, she was the exact same replica of the late Beloved Queen of Gailene.

"Everyone said she died…after I was born…told me I was…a curse…" she continued, staring at her father's eyes, faking sadness and hurt.

"Yet…mother told you to protect me…keep me safe…shower me with all the love and care you could possibly give me…and…she told you…that I was more precious than anything in the world…" she slowly neared her father, whose tears were visible as the King remembered his beloved wife, recalling her last words as she gripped his hand, making him promise to protect their baby girl until she breath her final breathe

"…she told you…she only wants what's best for me…" she recited the exact same words her mother told her father. The king's resolve weakened at that statement, his shoulders sagged in defeat.

"Daddy…" she called, softening her voice to conceal the venom hidden behind the next words she's going to say. The king raised his head from its bowed position, as he stared into the eyes of his daughter…into the eyes of his beloved Queen.

The king's tears flowed freely as Princess Carla wipe it away with a delicate finger as she delivered the killer blow "…don't I, deserve the best?"
