Elsa was working in her office, getting ready for her sister's wedding. Kristoff had proposed a month earlier, and the wedding was in 3 days. Then a strange package was dropped off. There was no tag saying who sent it, or any indication it was someone in the castle, or an ally country.
"Odd," she thought. "I wasn't expecting a package today." It was a small brown box with a white bow on the top. On the bottom of the box, her name was written in messy handwriting. She cautiously opened the lid to find a heart shaped piece of chocolate and a note. She carefully lifted the note and read it over.
"To: Her majesty, Queen Elsa of Arendelle
From: Dr Winston Feral
My dear queen, I do hope you will except this token of my appreciation for your amazing leadership and expertise."
"I don't know anyone named Winston Feral, let alone a doctor." The queen mumbled. She lifted the chocolate from the box and examined it. It looked real. She held it under her nose. Smells fine. She broke off a piece and placed it in her mouth. Tastes normal. "I'm just paranoid." Elsa told herself. "It's probably just a gift from a citizen I'm not acquainted with yet." She shrugged and ate the piece of chocolate.
Unbeknownst to her, The Mad scientist, or Mad for short, was watching through a small robotic bug. He cackled maliciously.
"One down, one to go..." Suddenly the screen went dark.
"What is it with all the bugs this year?" Elsa sighed, squishing the bug on the window.
"Blast!" Mad swore. "Oh well. I just have to trust that the carrot gets to the reindeer." He reviewed his plans. "And at midnight, they'll switch brains and Arendelle will be mine!" He removed an old photo from his desk. "Then I'll finally have my revenge..."
Kristoff was in the stables with Sven, polishing his sled. The ice harvester went on and on about his fiance and wedding plans. Suddenly, a package was delivered.
"Strange." Kristoff said to Sven. "Since when do we get mail?" He picked up the box and opened it. Inside was a fresh carrot. "Then again," Kristoff lit up. "there's a first time for everything." He picked it up and held it out to Sven. The reindeer sniffed it, and immediately backed away. He could smell the mixture and knew it ment trouble. Kristoff was shocked. "Whoa, buddy you never turn down carrots. What's up with that?" Sven snorted and shook his head.
"I'm just paranoid. Why don't you eat it to show me it's safe?" Kristoff said in Sven's voice.
"Sure buddy." He bit into the vegetable. Sven grunted in panic and swiped a hoof at Kristoff's hand. He missed and Kristoff shrugged. "Okay, I get it. You don't want it. More for me then." He finished off the carrot and tossed the top away. He left the stables to go find Anna. At the same time, Elsa left her office to speak to Kai, their head butler, about preparation for the wedding. They ran into each other in the hall.
"Sorry about that." Elsa apologized.
"It's okay. I'm sorry too." Kristoff returned.
"Where are you going in such a hurry anyway?" Elsa asked.
"Going to find Anna. I still have a few things to discuss about the ceremony. You?"
"Prep for your reception. By the way, are you planning on having Sven be in the ceremony?"
"Of course. He's the Best... Man? Reindeer? Anyway, why do you ask?"
"I'm putting together the seating chart for the reception. I didn't know wether to account for a reindeer or not."
"Why would you assume he wasn't in the ceremony? He's my best friend." Kristoff began to get a little upset.
"He's also an animal. And I've never seen any animal sit still through anything, much less a wedding." Elsa stated matter-of -factly. Kristoff was deeply offended someone would say that about his friend.
"So wait, he's just some animal to you!?"
"Well, yeah. I mean, just because he's your friend doesn't mean he isn't an animal. He doesn't understand what's going on, he's only thinking of his next meal." Now Kristoff was livid.
"Oh, I get it." He gasped in mock realization. "Just like the fact that you may be a good queen, but you're still a witch!" Elsa was shocked.
"Wha... that's, that's not what I meant."
"Well that's what you said! All you think Sven is, is a smelly creature with an IQ of 6! I'm sure that's all people think of you after what you've done to them. Do you think it's ok to allow them to feel that way about you!?" Now Elsa was mad.
"That's a thousand percent better than allowing my sister to marry an ice harvester who is dumber and smells worse than a reindeer!"
"Which one of us froze the country and nearly killed their sister!? I'd rather be a worthless ice man than a monster like you!"
"I think you're forgetting who you're talking to. Future brother in law or not, I could very well have you thrown in the dungeon."
"I'd gladly take that over being related to you, by marriage or otherwise!" The two were fuming, ready to tear each other's throats out. Suddenly, Anna burst into the hall.
"Stop it! Both of you!" She yelled. The ice harvester and the queen turned to look at her. She walked between them. "Look, guys, why can't you two get along?"
"Maybe because your sister is a heartless ice witch." Kristoff hissed. He glared at Elsa. She glared right back.
"Or because your fiance is a filthy peasant."
"Cut it out!" Anna broke up their spat. Taking a deep breath, she turned. "Kristoff, why don't you go into town and pick up the flowers. Elsa, please check on my wedding dress. I'm going to work on the guest list. If I find out you two are fighting again, you'll be picking each other's teeth off the ground!" Elsa and Kristoff gulped, nodded, and went off in opposite directions. They still, however, continued to mumble insults under their breaths.
"Monster."
"Peasant." Anna sighed when they were gone. She felt bad for her threat.
"I wouldn't be so hard on them, but it's just so stressful to plan a wedding." Anna said to herself. "That's the fourth time this week I've had to break up one of their fights. They always clash. I hope they learn to get along somehow, because if Kristoff and I are gonna stay here, they need to figure it out." She walked off, thinking about her future.
The rest of the night went by without another incident. Elsa and Kristoff ignored each other the rest of the night. Anna tried to figure out why they clashed so often. Dinner was silent and over quickly. The three of them just went to bed afterwards. Nothing happened, until the clock struck midnight. Kristoff, who normally slept on his back, shifted onto his left side. Elsa, who slept on her left side, shifted on to her back. And from that point, everything changed...
