"Anna! What happened?!" Elsa asked. Anna had just walked into her study covered in mud from head to toe.
"Uh well...ya see, me being me, I kinda fell in some mud." Anna replied.
"Well yeah I can see that. Did anyone push you?" Elsa had become so serious it scared Anna.
"N-no. No one pushed me."
Elsa could see that Anna wasn't lying. Anna tried to walk up to Elsa but Elsa stopped her. "Don't. Take. Another. Step." Elsa said.
"Sorry." Anna put her hands up in defense and tried to walk backwards to the door but ended up tripping and falling on the floor.
"Anna! Are you ok?" Elsa jumped up from her desk and ran over to Anna. She helped Anna up.
"Yes I'm ok." Anna said.
"Anna look at what you did!" Elsa said pointing to the mud on the floor where Anna fell.
Anna blushed. "I'm sorry."
"It's ok but we need to get you cleaned. Come on." Elsa led Anna out of her study and to Anna's room. Elsa opened Anna's bedroom door and went to Anna's bathroom to draw her a bath.
Elsa went to Anna's wardrobe and got a clean nightgown and laid it on Anna's bed. Elsa went back in the bathroom and stopped the water. "There you go Anna. I have to get back to work."
Elsa started to leave but Anna grabbed her hand. "Wait!"
Elsa grabbed a towel and wiped the mud off of her hand. "What is it Anna?"
"Please stay." Anna pleaded.
"But Anna...why?"
"Uh...what if I...can't get the mud out of my hair? Yeah that's why."
Elsa sighed. "Fine."
"Yay!"
"But as soon as I'm done washing your hair I'm going back to my work."
"So you're going to leave me?" Anna's voice was full of innocence and she put on her best puppy dog face.
Elsa never won against Anna's puppy dog face. Elsa sighed and gave in. "No I'm not going to leave you."
"Promise?"
"Yes. I promise."
"Yay! Again." Anna giggled. Elsa helped Anna out of her muddy clothes, which now lay on the floor in a pile, and into the water.
"Ah! Elsa it's cold!" Anna shrieked and jumped out of the bathtub.
"Sorry." Elsa let out the cold water and replaced it with warm water. "Is this better?"
Anna, who was shivering from lack of clothes, put her hand in the water. "Ah! Yes much better!" Anna said happily.
Anna jumped in the bathtub which caused some of the water to splash out on to Elsa. "ANNA!" Elsa shouted.
Elsa got a towel and dried herself off. She was irritated that she got wet and Anna knew it.
"Elsa I'm sorry. I didn't me-" Anna started but Elsa held up her hand, signaling for Anna to stop.
"Save it Anna, I'm tired of your careless behavior and now if you excuse me, I have to get back to work." Elsa opened the bathroom door and walked out.
Anna was hurt by Elsa's words and tears welled up in her eyes, but she said nothing.
Don't look back. Don't look back. Elsa told herself. Elsa looked back at Anna and saw a tear roll down her cheek. Dang it, Elsa! Why'd you look back?
Elsa ran back to Anna and knelt beside the bathtub. She wiped away the tear that had made its way down Anna's cheek. "Anna I'm sorry. That was out of line and I didn't mean it. Can you forgive me?" Elsa asked.
"Only if you forgive me and if you stay like you promised you would." Anna said.
"Done. Now come closer so I can wash your face." Elsa cupped Anna's chin in her hand and used a wet washcloth to gently wash her little sister's face. "Now turn around so I can wash your hair."
"Ok Elsa." Anna turned around and Elsa started getting the mud out of Anna's hair. Elsa was surprised at how dirty Anna's hair really was. When Elsa was sure Anna's hair was clean she poured water on Anna's head to rinse out the soap.
Anna cleaned the rest of her body while Elsa was washing her hair. "Anna I left your nightgown in your room, I'm going to go get it. Ok?" Elsa said.
"Ok Elsa." Anna went back to splashing the water and Elsa couldn't help but smile at her childish ways.
Elsa left the bathroom and went into Anna's room but before she could get the nightgown there was a knock on the door. Elsa answered it and saw that it was Gerda.
"How may I help you Gerda? Were you looking for Anna?" Elsa asked.
"No actually I was looking for you. There are two men downstairs who have an issue and are looking for you to clear it up." Gerda said.
"What's the issue? Is it an emergency?"
"They are arguing over some land."
Elsa was about to go with Gerda when she remembered Anna. "I'm sorry Gerda but I can't go. I'm not going to leave Anna."
"Well where is she? I can take care of Princess Anna for you."
"No. I promised her I wouldn't leave and I'm not going to break that promise. Tell the two men downstairs to either work it out themselves or to come back later."
"Yes Your Majesty." Gerda bowed and left. Elsa closed the door and went over to Anna's bed to get her nightgown.
Elsa went back in the bathroom to see Anna still splashing the water. "Come on Anna. It's time for you to get out." Elsa said.
"Aww come on Elsa, five more minutes?" Anna asked.
"No. The water is probably cold and I don't want you getting sick."
Anna pouted. "Fine." Anna got out of the water and Elsa dried her off with a towel. Elsa let the water out while Anna put on her clothes.
They left the bathroom and sat on Anna's bed. Elsa dried and brushed Anna's hair. "Thanks Elsa. For helping me even though you had a lot of work to do." Anna said.
"Well I'd do anything for you." Elsa said. "Besides if I hadn't stayed with you I wouldn't be able to do this..." Elsa tackled Anna and started tickling her. Anna laughed uncontrollably.
"Elsa...p-please...stop..." Anna said between laughs. Elsa stopped so Anna could catch her breath. "Thank you." Anna said, relieved.
"Don't thank me yet." Elsa said and she started tickling Anna again.
Gerda was on her way to tell Elsa that the men refused to leave without seeing her, but when Gerda checked Elsa's room she wasn't there.
Gerda decided to check Anna's room. She knocked on Anna's door. "Queen Elsa? Are you in there?" No answer.
Gerda opened the door and saw Anna and Elsa asleep on the bed. "Aw." Gerda walked over to the bed. Elsa was holding Anna close with her head resting on top of Anna's. Gerda placed a blanket on them and left the room.
She didn't have the heart to disturb them so those men were out of luck.
I know it's a little modern with the running water but I didn't know how else to write that.
And as always, please tell me what you think.
