Elsa's POV
"Your majesty, it's time to wake up!" I hear Kai say through the door, accompanied by knocking. I pull myself up, stretching as I do so. I remember that I told Kai to wake me up early so I would have enough time to get dressed and do everything else that I needed to do before Hans and his family got here. I hop out of bed and head to my closet and pick out what I want to wear today. I pick out a nice blue and white dress with crystals all the way down and the skirt under the top layer of the dress is nothing but ruffles. This is the dress that I only wear on special occasions, like when Anna and Kristoff got married. But I suppose that visiting royals would count too. Then I go to my vanity and figure out how I want to do my hair today. Although, today it seems like it's tough to do, but that's probably because I have a lot of stuff on my mind. What with Hans coming today and everything else. I finally decide to wear it in a way similar to how I wore it when I was crowned, expect instead of rolling it to the side it's braided. But I think it looks nice either way.
Then, right when I finish, I open my door to head out to the hall. Anna's door is still shut, and I know that was how I wanted it anyway because I had also told Kai that I wanted to be the one to wake Anna up this morning. He didn't argue with any of my wishes, though, of course. But, honestly, I was just happy that I was going to get to do it regardless.
I snap out of my thoughts and find myself right in front of Anna's door. I don't find my not paying attention bad, because I do it all the time when I have something that I'm thinking really hard about. And, in this case, I pretty much was. But then I decide to go back to doing what I planned to do before I got distracted from it. I knock on the door gently at first, but then wondering why I did that because she was sleeping and she probably didn't hear my knocking when I was doing it that gently.
Suddenly, I temporarily forget all of my manners and run right into her room, not even giving a thought to what I was doing until I actually did it. But I don't even bother to correct myself, because I'm too heavily focused on what I'm doing right now. I walk over to the right side of Anna's bed and put my hands on her shoulders. I gently shake her, noticing my manners have definitely returned. I say to her,
"Anna, it's time to wake up!"
She just moans, her voice cracking, probably from sleep. She turns to lay on her stomach, and quickly falls back asleep. This only makes me start shaking her again, and right when I start again, I say,
"Anna, stop being lazy! We have guests coming, you know."
She finally gives in, although I think that I didn't have to try very hard to get her to do so. She moans again and pulls herself up out of bed with both legs hanging off the side, and she says,
"Okay, okay. Fine. You know, usually I'm the one to wake you up. When did we switch places, exactly?"
I only laugh at her comment and say,
"I guess it was ever since last night, when I asked Kai to let me wake you up this morning. Didn't I tell you that?"
She pretends to think, although the moment was really brief, and then she says,
"Hmm... no. you didn't. Anyway, I have to get dressed, and then I'll let you do my hair, like you wanted to do so bad last night." She says, and we both laugh before I head out of the room, only to wait for her to finish.
Hans' POV
"Mother, are we there yet? I'm pretty sure that we've been traveling for several hours now and we aren't there yet." I say, pacing back and forth. I've always been impatient like that, for as long as I can remember, at least.
She just looks out over the railing, probably to look for land. "No, not yet. But I'm sure that we'll be there real soon."
I shrug, relaxed for now, but I have a feeling that it's going to be a a long time until we get there, still. But I just try my hardest to not think about the long wait that's still ahead of us.
Anna's POV
"Elsa, why does it feel like your trying to pull my head off? Really, you're pulling a lot, and it's starting to hurt my head." I say, trying to keep my head up and not letting it go all the way back, because that could get uncomfortable.
"Anna, you just have to relax, and I'll be done real fast." She says, as the pulling at the back of my head only keeps going. But still, I try not to complain, because that would obviously get me nowhere.
"Okay... I think I'm almost finished." She says, and I sigh, but only in my head, of course.
"And... I'm... done!" She says, and the pulling at the back of my head suddenly stops, to my complete relief.
"You can open your eyes, now," She says, and I take my hands away from my eyes, and I know that I had wanted to do that in the first place
I look in the mirror, and even though I can't explain how she did it, and I couldn't even begin to try to do it myself, but I love how she did it anyway.
"Wow, I love it so so much! Thank you so much, Elsa!" I shout, jumping up and hugging her happily. She just laughs in surprise at this, but she still returns the hug all the same.
"You know, that's what I thought you'd say. I know you so well, don't I?" She says, laughing.
"Now... um... do you know if our visitors are here yet?" I ask.
"Well, the last time I checked they weren't, but they could arrive at any time now. It's a good thing that we're ready now, isn't it?" She says, but by now the smile has faded from her face. And I can completely understand why.
"You know, I'm not looking forward to this as much as you are." I say, trying to keep her calm.
"Yeah, I know. I wish they weren't coming, even. I know, that sounds bad, but I don't have a good feeling about Hans after what happened, even if he wasn't the one who tried to kill us." She says, looking down.
"I know, how can he expect us to trust him after what happened?" I ask, looking at her nervously.
"Well, he isn't the one that we can't trust. But I think that we should just go out there, and wait till they get here." She says, and I can tell that she's trying just as hard to stay calm.
I just nod and say,
"Yeah, that would probably be best. Let's go." I say, and then we both head out to wait for Hans and his family to arrive, even though neither of us are particularily looking forward to it.
I've finally finished the chapter, sorry it took so long, but I put a lot of work into this one, so I hope you enjoy it. Also, don't forget to review and if any of you have any ideas for this story, they would be greatly appreciated!
