Chapter:2 Adventure's Call
The summer sun shined down brighter than ever on the kingdom of Arendelle. Beautiful mountain ranges mixed with gorgeous grassy plains dominated the landscape. The kingdom was situated along a glistening fjord, offering a stunning view of the shimmering ocean. The people of Arendelle began to emerge from their homes, pleasantly greeting one another to start the day.
An ice harvester made his way through the village streets, selling slabs to all of his regulars. "Come on, Sven." He mushed his reindeer across a bridge and towards the castle.
They were greeted by a robust servant, who paid the harvester while the royal guards extracted the ice from his sled. "Brilliant work, as always. Thank you, Kristoff."
He humbly scratched his blonde head. "You're welcome, Kai. Only the best for the queen and princess."
Kai chuckled, "Speaking of which, shouldn't you two be married already? I feel like you've been dating forever."
"Forever? It's only been a year.", smirked Kristoff. "But now that you mention it, today IS our anniversary."
High in the castle, a red-headed, freckled princess was fast asleep. Her hair was a complete mess, and she was wrapped in her bedsheets like a mummy. She was snoring away when her sister threw open the door. The icy blonde exclaimed, "Up and at'em, Anna! There is absolutely no way that you're sleeping in AGAIN."
Anna muttered through her snores, "Elsa...five...erhm...two more minutes."
Elsa rolled her blue eyes. "Nope. Up...now. You look like a caterpillar in its cocoon."
The redhead snickered,"That's why I have to keep sleeping. I'm metamorphimizing...into a beautiful Annafly."
"Metamorphosing?", corrected Elsa with a scoff. She used her ice magic to conjure up a snowball and peg her sister right in the face with it.
The hit sent Anna tumbling out of bed and unraveling out of her sheets. She leapt up in her pink pajamas and groggily cheered, "Tadaaaaaa!" She looked in the mirror to see her red hair in a complete mess and drool running down her mouth. "See? I'm...gorgeous.", she giggled.
The Snow Queen couldn't help but laugh as well. "Well get dressed, sis. Today's you and Kristoff's anniversary, after all."
Anna's face lit up with joy. "My goodness, you're right!" She scurried into her wardrobe and began to fix herself up.
Elsa walked out of the room with a pleasant smile, "Who knows what Kristoff's got planned for you. Perhaps an overdue engagement ring?"
"That would be AMAZING!", hollered Anna from the bedroom. "Speaking of marriage, good luck with those suitors today!"
The icy blonde cringed at the word 'suitors'. "Don't remind me.", she groaned.
Anna looked out her window with a dreamy look on her face.
An Arendelle Morning
Anna: *sighs* Another beautiful summer day! Well, better get out there and enjoy it!
**music begins**
Anna:
This is the perfect way,
To begin a brand new day.
I can't wait to get out there!
**shot goes to the outside of her room. She has changed out of her pajamas into her clothes and is moving downstairs as she continues singing**
Gerda: *climbing up the stairs as Anna slides down the banister* Oh, good morning Princess Anna!
Anna: Good morning! *slides all the way down and jumps off the banister*
**Anna quickly eats breakfast and makes her way outside**
Anna:
Oh, what a gorgeous summer morning,
Just like the birds my heart is soaring.
I couldn't wish for anything better!
I have so much fun planned today
I better get started right away!
Summer means no more ugly sweaterrrrrrrs!
**Elsa is stuck in her royal chamber with a ton of queenly duties to attend to**
Elsa: *sighs* So much work to be done…
Elsa:
Working all day,
No time for fun.
No time for play,
It's just begun.
I have to get everything done by yesterday!
So much to do,
So much to write.
Everything must be done by tonight!
How I just wish it could all just go awaaaaaaay!
Elsa: **speaking with a groan as more work is given to her** It never ends!
Anna:
**running through the village, greeting people and dancing around**
Today is going to be so much fun,
Going out camping with everyone !
It's been forever, since I've done something liiiiike that!
For the longest time,
All I knew.
Was the inside,
All dark and blue.
But now it's time to get out
And finally breathe freeeeeeee!
**Scene switches to Elsa out on the castle balcony, looking down at a ship filled with suitors of various backgrounds and ages. They are singing and reading poetry, trying to woo her**
Elsa: *sighs* There they go again…
Elsa:
Here they are,
Again today.
Trying to win me,
Over that way.
You would think they would have learned by now…
To think that love,
Is so easily won.
No help from above,
A simple song.
That guy's got an awkward twitch in his eyebrooooooooow!
**speaking** It's ridiculous…**she walks back into the castle**
Anna: **running through the village streets** Ooh, I just can't wait for this camping trip! I can't even remember the last time I went camping!
There was a commotion in the square. Anna pushed through the crowd of people to get a closer look. She asked a young blonde, "What's going on?"
She turned and bowed. "Princess Anna, good morning, your grace."
"Hi there...Miss...
"Violet.", smiled the girl.
"What's all the commotion for, Violet?"
The citizen turned and pointed, "These guys are the greatest. Check out all the neat stuff they have!"
A group of traders were selling their unique trinkets and goods. She examined a music box when a man said, "Do you like it, your majesty? It comes all the way from the Southern Isles!"
The redhead winced at the name as she put the music box down. "Maybe not." She looked around with curious eyes. "Wow. Where do you guys get all of this stuff?"
"Tis the life of an adventurer, lass.", winked another explorer. "Far off places, venturing into the unknown. You can't beat it!"
"Adventure, huh?", pondered Anna.
"Got any big plans this summer? You seem like the adventurous type. You should go exploring!"
Anna stuttered, "I'm not sure..."
"Oh come on! Haven't you ever wondered what's beyond the mountains? Think of the mysteries just waiting to be discovered! People to meet! Stories to tell!"
Princess Anna pondered the man's words as she wandered off.
Anna
Why not make this trip,
A little bit more?
Instead of a dip.
Let's go explore!
Anna: I have to get Kristoff to take us on a camping ADVENTURE, not just a camping trip!
It'll be, more than a vacation.
We'll set out for exploration!
**Anna dashes through the streets**
Alright, here we go.
Now is no time to take it slow.
An entirely new adventure will begin.
So let's get started, time for a show.
I just wanna go ahead and dive right iiiiiiiin! ***holds "in" as the music closes***
**music ends and she trips on a snowman and bumps into Kristoff**
"Hey, handsome.", sighed Anna as she rested atop her man.
"Hey.", smiled Kristoff as she kissed him.
"Happy Anniversary.", they said in unison. "
"So babe...", began Kristoff. "Are you ready to go camping?"
"WOOHOOO! Camping!", cheered a goofy voice.
Kristoff rolled his eyes with a smirk. "Yes, Olaf. Camping."
The pudgy snowman leapt for joy. "This is gonna be the best summer ever! I'm gonna get tan!"
Anna bit her lip and fidgeted with her pigtails. "Kristoff..."
"Yeah babe?"
"I was wondering...if we could do a bit more than camping."
"Like what?"
"Well...I was kinda sorta thinking something along the lines of...adventure?"
Gerda fixed Queen Elsa's hair bun while Kai observed. "You look gorgeous, your majesty."
"Thank you, Kai.", nodded Elsa. She took a deep breath, "Alright. Let's do this."
"Big smile! Like you care.", reminded Kai as he walked into the lobby.
"I don't know about this."
Gerda huffed, "Nonsense, your majesty. Just be yourself. Who knows? You may just meet the man of your dreams!"
Kai announced, "Presenting, Queen Elsa of Arendelle!" Elsa walked out to see a line of suitors applauding. Some of them were incredibly cocky, already winking and blowing kisses. Kai introduced the first candidate, "Prince Robert."
"Please to meet you.", nodded Elsa.
"Hey babe.", replied the prince.
Elsa snapped, "Excuse me? What did you just call me?"
"I'ma cut right to the chase, babe. I don't need words, just a bod." In that instant, the prince ripped his shirt clean off, sending buttons darting at Elsa's face! He flexed as hard as he could. He flexed so hard, it looked like he was going to explode. His biceps were the size of plums as he constantly stared at his chunky belly. "Just gimme a sec!", he roared. "The abs take a while to pop out. Just one sec. HHHHHEEEEEEENNG!", he grunted, hopelessly trying to make his nonexistent abs appear. "COME ON! COME ON, YOU! GEEEEEARGH!"
Elsa and Kai exchanged bewildered looks at the lunatic. "I've seen enough.", said Elsa.
The guards escorted Robert out, as he continuously flexed, praying his abs would appear. "THEY'RE REAL! I SWEAR! MOM SAYS THEY'RE REAL!", he yelled.
Elsa facepalmed, "Lovely start."
Kai shook off the mishap and announced the next suitor on the list, "Presenting, Prince Michael GoldenHeart." Elsa looked up with hope and a smile, only to see an empty chair. "Prince Michael GoldenHeart?", repeated Kai before shrugging and scratching out the name. "Guess he's a no show. Such a shame. I've heard a lot about him. Oh well!" Kai read the next name, "Presenting, Count Lucius."
The count stepped forward and kissed Elsa's hand. "You have a bright future ahead."
Elsa raised an eyebrow with playful intrigue, "Oh? How can you tell?"
"Your shoes told me."
All interest was gone. "Wait what?!"
Count Lucius got down on the ground and started TALKING to her ice heels! "It's a pleasure to meet you, darlings. Yes...Uhuh...I know...I KNOW...it's wonderful...I'd love to meet your friends."
Elsa leaned down. "Are you...feeling alright?"
"Never better!", cheered the count. "It's a hidden talent really. You see...I'm a shoe whisperer. My shoes say they are pleased to meet you."
"Oh do they?", Elsa forced a smile and turned to Kai. She mouthed the words, "Help...me."
