Kristoff, when he finally stumbled to the door, was obviously hungover.

Squinting thickly at Anna, and then the girl bouncing on her feet next to her (seemingly excited about something but sending half-dirty, half-bewildered looks at the red-head).

Anna didn't give him a chance to question the girl, the time, or why Anna seemed to have both, because she pushed past him within seconds of seeing his waxen face. Kristoff blinked blearily at Elsa for a moment before motioning with his hand.

"Come on in, I suppose. Er, Anna?"

She had gone into the kitchen, having spent enough time around Kristoff to not care for propriety. She returned with a glass of water and two Advils, both of which she thrust into his hands.

"Sober up," she said. "I need you."

He guzzled both down appreciatively before his eyes aligned on Elsa and he gestured helplessly to the woman, who hadn't stepped inside and was still hovering on the threshold. Her hands were up in front of her chest and she was fiddling with her fingers.

"Elsa, come on," Anna sighed, noticing the blonde's trepidation. She was getting a little tired of the blonde's contrary attitude. Okay, seriously, children weren't this difficult.

Elsa shook her head, and stretching a hand out, pointed Anna. "Not like Elsa," she said softly. Both Kristoff and Anna stared at her for a moment before the object of her fear barked for attention.

Sven.

Sven was an Alaskan Malamute that Kristoff had gotten for free a couple of years back. The owner hadn't wanted him for some reason (he had said something about "siring" and "runts", but Kristoff and Anna had been paying too much attention to the six-week-old pup than the grumpy breeder).

He was also the biggest, softest dog anyone could ever ask for (excluding Anna's St. Bernard, Marshmallow, who had died a few years back).

"Sven won't hurt you," Kristoff began just as Sven stopped harassing Anna for attention and noticed Elsa. "See?" I'm Sven and I'm really nice!" Kristoff said, lowering his voice a little. "He's nothing to be scared of." Sven barked in apparent agreement.

Still, Elsa shook her head. "Sven not say that. Sven say Sven is funny."

Suddenly, Elsa smiled. "Sven sven sven sven," she said, earning a strange glance from Kristoff and a facepalm from Anna. "Sven, Elsa. Elsa love Anna. Anna not- Anna like Elsa." she nodded, gesticulating between herself, Sven, and Anna as she said each name. Anna could have collapsed on the couch in thanks when Elsa finally, finally stepped through the door and dropped to the floor to greet Sven properly.

Even Kristoff, who was used to sharing all manner of foods with his dog, from carrots to ice-cream cones, couldn't help but be a little grossed out when Elsa licked Sven up the left side of his face. She grinned at the adults when Sven did the same to her before sitting on his haunches.

"Anna," Kristoff began seriously. "You didn't get these from Eugene, did you, because I think you gave me the wrong pills."


"So... she's your... sister?"

Anna nodded her head. "Yep."

"Why have I never heard of her before, again?"

"Oh, you know. Mom and Dad wanted to give her the best chance so she was sent to a special school that caters to, um, special... people... and now she's home!"

"So... why have I never heard of her?"

"Umm... because... because you never asked!"

"I don't have to ask, Anna, you just tell people. What's really going on?"

Anna would later admit that attempting to lie to her best friend about her dog-turned-human would be so much easier if she had gone through more rigorous training with Elsa beforehand. Things like not eating Sven's food from the bowl (but to be fair, Elsa hadn't had breakfast that morning), not growling at Sven when he tried to get her away from his food, and not jumping on Anna's lap and burying her head in the nape of the red-head's neck, asking for a belly-rub because Sven had successfully chased her away.

"Wha-? Nothings going on, I'm fine. I totally am telling the truth right now, psh, why, uh, why do you think anything different?"

Kristoff gave a snort, rolled his eyes, and held his phone up so Anna could read it.

Rapunzel (sent 8:42am)

Rapunzel (sent 12:06pm)
this is insane. i just realised that annas /dog turned into a /person. omg kris save me eugene defs gave me shrooms. and annas acting like this is /normal wtf?

Groaning, Anna let her head drop into her hands. Elsa noticed, and ceased rolling on the floor with Sven to crawl over to her owner and put her head in Anna's lap.

"Anna feel bad?" she asked softly. "Anna take Elsa's bad?"

Steeling herself with a breath, Anna looked at Elsa, who held up her still-bandaged hand. Oh. Right.

Anna gave a wan smile. "No, I'm fine Elsa," she said, reaching out a hand and scratching the side of Elsa's head.

"Park?"

The smile Elsa gave could have thawed the Ross Ice Shelf, and the way her eyes lit up... well, needless to say, she was excited.

"Yes! Take Sven! Take Sven!" She jumped up to her feet and fiddled a little with her fingers. "Elsa want Anna and Sven take Sven."

Anna let out a little laugh. "There's only one 'Sven', Elsa," she said, prompting another shake of the head from the blonde. She pointed to Kristoff.

"Sven."

She pointed to Sven.

"Sven."

And without another word she was out the still-open door to the hallway of the dorms and jumping up and down in front of the elevator they used to get to Kristoff's floor.

"So, Sven," Anna grinned, looking at Kristoff. "Wanna take your dog to the park?"

He flipped her off as he went to get Sven's harness.


A/N: short chapter is short, I start work in 20 minutes. I'll probably re-upload a better version of this later, but I didn't want you guys to wait as long as you did last time. Finally! Kristoff! And Sven! And they're going to the park! Sorry about the length again. I'm working every day until Christmas, and then the day after, so I don't know when I'll have a chance to get to the next chapter. Elsa is annoying me, so let's see if I can give her some redeeming qualities, eh?

Until next time!
