Hi! Here's a new chapter. I'm putting most of my creative energy into one part of my extended English course assessment: 600 word short story. It'd be easy to write such a short piece of writing, but it's too limited. Having a 10% word limit extension isn't that helpful, but my word count is 559 so I've just squeezed under the limit. I'll need to write another draft later, just to fix it up a little, but all I really need to do is write out my plan and brainstorming and then my whole assignment will be finished, complete with drafts and what will pass as a final copy. Anyway, I don't own, and stuff.

Enjoy!

"Ouch! Elsaaaaaa... you're on my leg, hang on..."

"Your Majesties? What's going on?! Are you all right? What's happening?"

"Anna?! Anna where are you?"

"What's happening?"

"The Queen's under there, look at the snow - "

"-Yes, I can here she's under there, get moving this ice - "

" Wait a second, Elsa, can you just move your back a little to the left, now I'll move my leg and you can get your arm out..."

"Um, would you mind removing your foot from my elbow? Thank you Anna..."

"Three two one up!"

It took five people almost as many minutes to untangle the sisters, and then another three on Elsa and the guards' parts to remove the snow. Once they were free, Elsa dismissed their guards and told them to wait down the corridor. When only Anna and Elsa remained in the conference room, Elsa spoke.

"Ann, I... I don't know what happened. I was fine before, and then you said you'd noticed ... things, and I realised you were right, and then the snow came out of nowhere! I'm so sorry Anna." Elsa paused, twisting her fingers nervously. "And then, the gloves were so cold the minute I put them on, and it started snowing and I didn't think I'd done anything, and now I'm confused."

Anna stood before her sister, growing guiltier by the minute. She'd only been trying to have a laugh, she hadn't meant to cause this much trouble, surely Elsa would understand...

"-don't know where the cloth came from," Elsa was saying. "Of course, I made my ice dress using my powers but I've never made anything but cold by accident."

Anna nodded, trying to pay attention. The clock on the wall informed the princess that she had a minute and twenty-six seconds until midday, when she could yell "April Fool!" and everything would be okay again.

" " Anna opened her mouth, then closed it again, at once at a loss for anything to say.

Just one minute and twelve seconds until Elsa could yell "April Fool!" and distract her sister from this whole mess, giving them both something to laugh about and hopefully fixing this issue that Elsa seemed to be having.

Anna didn't seem to be contributing much to their conversation, so Elsa took it upon herself to change the subject. "So, Anna," she began, "what was the reason you started yelling for me in the first place?"

Anna glanced at the clock and then replied, "It's probably nothing, I didn't want to worry you. It's just that, I was just glancing in the mirror and everything was there, the walls and the clock and the roof and the can - " She broke off suddenly. Elsa was curious.

"Can of what?"

"Nothing. Anyway, everything was reflected in the mirror like it should have been, except for me! Elsa, I swear I wasn't reflected! And I'd just been told a story about vampires by Sven, I mean Kristoff, well he was telling Sven and then Olaf told me it was a good story so I came too, and it was a good story and I wasn't scared, but then I didn't have a reflection and I thought maybe -"

Elsa laughed gently. She'd never had the time or the friends or the emotional capacity for scary stories when she was a child, so it warmed her heart to hear of Anna's capers with her friends.

Another glance at the clock informed Elsa that she had forty seconds till midday.

"What happened in the story?"

"Oh, there was this young girl who had a bat living in her closet, and one night at midnight she heard it creak open and out came a terrifying vampire who liked warm hugs -"

"-around the neck-"

"with a rope." Both girls laughed and then lapsed back into awkward silence once again. Twenty-one seconds. It would be a piece of cake to keep Anna, the talkative one, distracted until the clock chimed.

But then again, Anna was being rather unresponsive at the moment...

Both sisters glanced at the clock.
