Chapter Seven: The Dress

"I'm not going to tell you anything so stop asking!" Anna said as she pulled Elsa towards the room where her wedding dress was waiting for her.

"I'm just worried," Elsa answered and tried to keep up with Anna.

"I know. You've said that at least ten times today."

It was Friday, which meant it was only one day to Elsa and Jack's wedding. The week had gone in a blur. It had consisted of working, planning, organizing, working a bit more, maybe sleeping when there was time but mostly just being nervous and stressing over everything. So, Elsa was actually waiting for Saturday to come because then everything would go back to normal once again. Well, maybe not exactly back to normal, but almost.

Anna had done a good job at keeping Elsa's dress as a secret. She hadn't even told Kristoff about it. However, now it was time for Elsa to finally try it on. If there was something wrong or it didn't fit, the tailors would have to deal with it.

Elsa couldn't say she wasn't nervous. She trusted her sister but you could never know what run in that princess' head.

"Okay, close your eyes!" Anna ordered when they reached the door of the room.

"Why?" Elsa asked and eyed Anna suspiciously.

"It's just so much more fun in that way!" she giggled.

Elsa wasn't in the mood of protesting so she obeyed and closed her eyes. Anna led her inside and closed the door behind them.

"Okay, open your eyes!"

Elsa did so, slowly opening her eyes to see the dress standing in the middle of the room. She gasped and clapped her hand over her mouth.

The dress was gorgeous. Elsa had never seen anything like it before. The first thing she noticed was the fact that the dress was not entirely white but light silver. There were white snowflake patterns falling from its one-shoulder bodice down the length of the dress.

Elsa just stared at it and Anna nervously played with her hair.

"Do you like it?" she finally asked and held her breath as she waited for Elsa to answer.

"Anna, I love it!" Elsa exclaimed and walked over to Anna to embrace her. "It's amazing!"

Anna hugged Elsa back and let out the breath she had been holding. "It's so good to hear that!" she laughed. "Now I want you to try it on! I'm sure it's even more amazing when you're wearing it!"

Elsa, once again, obeyed and a few of her servants helped her to put the dress on. Anna went to fetch a veil for Elsa to try on and in the mean time Elsa took her crown from the table. She didn't usually wear it because there was no need. Her wedding, however, was a completely different occasion.

Anna came back with the veil and helped Elsa to put it on as well. Then Elsa turned to look at herself in the mirror.

She had to admit Anna had done a great job. The dress was gorgeous and it fit her perfectly.

"I was thinking about a small train as well," Anna informed Elsa. "Not too long, because otherwise it would steal away the attention the dress deserves, but a little one would be nice."

"I think I agree," Elsa nodded. "You've really thought about everything, haven't you?"

"Well, I had to. This is kind of my wedding present for you," Anna smiled at Elsa.

Elsa smiled back and asked for the servants to help her take the dress off.

"As lovely as this dress is my wedding is not today."

When they were ready and Elsa was wearing her own dress again, Anna asked for the servants to bring some tea and biscuits for them. She sat down on one armchair and Elsa took a seat from the couch that was situated right next to it. One servant brought their tea and biscuits and they sat there for a while in silence.

"Am I really ready for this?" Elsa suddenly asked. She was staring into nothing and hugging her knees.

Anna turned to look at her. "Of course you are. You've been preparing for the ceremony for so long you probably know it backwards with your eyes closed."

"It's not that," Elsa sighed and shook her head.

Anna frowned. "What do you mean?"

"I'm getting married, Anna. What are married couples supposed to do on their wedding night?"

Anna's eyes widened and she blushed a little. "You don't mean…"

"Yes, I do. I'm the Queen, remember? An unconsummated marriage would have pretty severe political consequences, don't you think?"

Anna fidgeted a little in her chair. "Well, as much as I would like to help you, I'm pretty sure I can't. I don't know much about politics and I know even less about that… stuff."

Elsa chuckled. "Someone's feeling a little awkward?"

Anna stuck her tongue out. "You should, your Majesty," she teased Elsa.

Elsa just smirked at her. "How mature."

"Always," Anna laughed. "But seriously, Elsa," she continued. "Don't do anything you will regret later, okay?"

"Of course," she promised but inside she wasn't so sure.

That evening Elsa found herself knocking on Jack's door. He opened the door and was surprised to see Elsa standing there.

"Elsa? What are you doing here?" he asked and let her in.

"Well, I wanted to talk to you. Our wedding is tomorrow and I kind of wanted to be sure that you're still okay with all of this," she said and looked at Jack.

"Of course I am. Did you think I would sneak out of the castle or something?" he asked.

Elsa shook her head. "No, I didn't think that. It's just… I'm still a bit scared, you know, and to be honest, I think I would sneak out if I had the possibility."

"You don't have to be scared," Jack reassured. "I already promised I would help you, remember?"

Elsa just nodded.

"So, then you also know that I am okay with everything and we will get married tomorrow." Jack continued. "After tomorrow you're just not going to get rid of me," he smirked.

"Oh, how I wish I could," Elsa smirked back. "Oh, and we are not supposed to see each other until the wedding tomorrow so hopefully everything will go fine. Now I think I will go to sleep and you should do the same as well. Tomorrow is going to be a long day."

"Öitä."

Elsa turned around. "What?"

Jack chuckled. "It means goodnight."

"Oh… well, goodnight then," she smiled and exited the room.

Jack couldn't help but think her smile was the most beautiful thing ever.

Did you know that there's a minority in northern Norway that speaks the language of Kven? It's a Finnish dialect :) I don't speak it but I saw that it's really similar to standard Finnish and I should be able to understand it perfectly. So, I got this idea that Jack would know how to speak it. In this story I could sometimes add some Finnish words here and there :)
