Wake up, Princess Snowflake

Ninja Elsa

Chapter 7: Fun in the sun

Elsa opened her eyes and looked to her clock. 9:00 it read. She yawned and stretched. She got out of bed and changed into a pair of jeans and an ice blue t-shirt. As she brushed out her hair and pulled it back into a simple pony tail and tied it with purple and green ribbons. She took a deep breath. She was surprised at how not nervous about her date considering how nervous she had been to ask her out. When she said 'dinner' she wasn't sure of what she wanted to do. So she was happy that Anna was willing to spend the day with her and willing to drive when she figured out they would spend the day at a park she had looked up. It seemed wrong to ask Anna but she didn't know how to drive. Anna didn't mind at all. She liked driving, she said.

She walked out to the bedroom and thought to ask Anna over for breakfast. That wasn't part of the plan but it could start that way. She walked to the door and unlocked it. No. Not this way. Now she was nervous. She walked over to her couch where she had set purse and took out her cell phone. She dialed Anna's number and waited. After two rings Anna picked up.

"Good morning, Princess Snowflake. Nervous?"

She tried not to sound nervous. "I'm hungry. Have you had breakfast? I - I ma - I am going to fix myself breakfast." Elsa replied. "If you haven't eaten yet, come over and we can get going after we eat."

"All right. I just got up. I'm going to shower and get dressed. Then I'll be right over." Anna responded.

"Okay." with that, Elsa hung up her phone and placed it back into her purse. Elsa took the out phone again and dialed Anna's number again.

"Olaf!" Elsa replied as Anna picked up. "Allergic to nuts?"

Anna laughed. "No. Why?"

Elsa hung up.


"What are you doing?"

Anna was brought back to the present by the sound of Prince Kristoff's voice.

"How did you get in here?" he asked.

Anna turned to the young prince letting go of Elsa's hand. A soft whimper escaped the sleeping princess. "its okay, Elsa. I'm not going anywhere. I'm just letting go of your hand for now. Marshmallow is still watching over you."

Kristoff groaned and moved toward the bed. "I don't know why Ivar put that filthy stuffed dog so near my sister's head." he started to grab it but Anna slapped his hand away.

"Don't you dare remove it." Anna responded.

"How dare you! You slapped my hand!" Kristoff exclaimed.

"Oh shut up. Stop acting like a spoiled little prince and more like a loving brother." Anna responded. "Kai and Ivar care more about Elsa than you seem to."

Kristoff was insulted but kept his anger in check. This girl had some guts to slap his hand. He would not let it go, however. My mother will hear about this you little bitch!

"The stuffed dog looks silly sitting there. My sister is the Crown Princess of Arendelle!" Kristoff replied.

"She was holding it in the limousine. It obviously means something to her. So it stays."

"How do you know she was holding it?"

"Ivar and your mother told me." Anna replied. "And his name is Marshmallow."

"That's even more ridiculous than her stuffed snowman named Olaf. At least Olaf says his name when you squeeze him." Kristoff replied. "And how in the world would you know its name is Marshmallow?"

"Because I named it the day I gave him to her. His full name is Toasty Marshmallow." Anna responded.

"mmshmawrow" a sweet soft voice came from the bed.

Before either Anna or Kristoff could react to the noise coming from Elsa, Dr. Chen entered the room and told the both of them to leave.

Kristoff started to protest loudly. "I'm her brother. Prince Kristoff. I should stay. This girl should go. I say so."

Dr. Chen turned to the young prince. "I am the doctor and what I say goes. I will allow the both of you to stay but keep your voice down. I do not want you upsetting my patient." she replied.

"I stay. She goes." Kristoff replied.

"Your Royal rank means nothing to me." Dr. Chen replied. "If I were to decide which one of you stays which one goes, it is you, Your Highness, who goes."

"You cannot do that to me."

"I think that I can. Leave now, or I will call security. I will call you back in when I am through with my examination." Dr. Chen replied.

In a huff Kristoff turned to leave. Anna followed closely behind. She suddenly stopped when she thought she heard something.

"moluff. bancwake."

Anna looked at the doctor as she examined Elsa.

Dr. Chen turned to look at her. "Close the door, please and just stay back."

Anna did as she was told and took a deep breath trying not to hold her breath.

"She's been improving at a faster rate since you've been allowed to visit." Dr. Chen replied as she listened to Elsa's breathing. "As I suspected would happen when her parents both told me how excited their daughter had been the entire trip at the prospect of seeing you."

Anna smiled. "I think she's dreaming of pancakes." she replied. "She made pancakes for the first time the morning of our first date."


Anna knocked on Elsa's door.

"Come in." Elsa called from inside.

Opening the door, Anna was in heaven as she was greeted by the smell of bacon, eggs, potatoes and pancakes.

"Oh my god, Elsa. It smells so good in here." Anna replied setting her pack down and closing the door behind her.

Elsa was in the kitchen. "Have a seat. The pancakes are almost ready."

Anna took her seat at the dining table. There were scrambled eggs, bacon, hash brown potatoes and toasted almonds. The almonds confused Anna, but it explained the question about the nuts. "You made bacon." she smiled. "Wait, no boiled potatoes?"

"Anna." Elsa replied as she set down a plate of pancakes and maple and chocolate syrup. "I made hash brown potatoes for you, and yes, bacon."

Elsa sat down across from Anna and took three pancakes for herself as Anna helped herself to some bacon, eggs and potatoes. Elsa helped herself to the bacon, eggs and potatoes as well.

"Oh, I forgot the toast. Do you want toast?" Elsa replied.

"Butter."

Elsa got up and opened the refrigerator and took out the butter. She also grabbed the box of rye crackers, bringing them to the table with the butter.

Suddenly, Elsa screamed. A startled Anna dropped the fork she was holding and rushed to the kitchen.

"Elsa, what's wrong."

"I forgot the coffee." Elsa was crying as she sat slumped on the floor. "I wanted everything to be perfect for you, Anna. I forgot the coffee. How could I forget the coffee? I make it every morning! How could I forget to make coffee?"

At her friend's side, she helped her up and embraced her in a warm hug. "Elsa, calm down." she responded. Anna tried not to laugh at her friend's nervous state knowing it no doubt would make things worse. She didn't blame Elsa for being nervous. It was their first date. It was probably something Elsa had never done before in her life. Anna had cooked breakfast before for her family. But not Elsa. The breakfast Elsa had prepared for her before were just what she was having, nothing special. But this time, Elsa had made breakfast for Anna.

"Its okay, Princess Snowflake." Anna replied trying to comfort her friend. "I don't need coffee."

Elsa sniffled. "I do."

Anna hugged her tighter. "Let's make some together." she responded. "You can show me how to make it, so I can make some for you when you come over to my place next time."

"Okay."

In the kitchen Elsa pulled forward her coffee maker. She filled it with water and measured out her coffee. She looked at Anna and started giggling. She tried to cover it up by raising a hand to cover her mouth but she soon burst out into hysterical laughter as she turned on the coffee maker.

"What is so funny?" Anna asked. "Are you laughing at me?"

Elsa tried to stop laughing. "No. Me. I don't know what's wrong with me." she replied shaking her head.

Anna hugged her. "You're nervous about our date." she answered. "It's all right. Do you know I actually stood in the middle of my bedroom naked for about ten minutes pondering what the heck I should wear today? I never do that! I just grab a pair of jeans and a t-shirt or blouse and don't care if they match or not. Then I braid my hair."

Elsa took a deep breath as she finally managed to stop laughing. "I wasn't nervous until you knocked on the door."

The coffee was made.

"Do you want cream and sugar?" Elsa asked. "I drink it black unless it's some fancy drink at a coffee shop."

"If you asked me if I would like some coffee with my cream and sugar," Anna replied. "then the answer is yes."

Elsa giggled and opened the refrigerator and took out the cream. She handed it to Anna. Anna took the cream and mugs to the table as Elsa brought the coffee and the sugar.

Anna looked at the mugs and laughed. "What's with these mugs?" she asked looking at the green and purple mugs with horrible images of a King and Queen on the balcony of the castle holding a small child wrapped in a ice blue blanket on them.

Elsa snickered. "They are souvenir mugs from Arendelle celebrating the birth of the Royal Princess."

"You're silly."

"Why? Because I have souvenir mugs celebrating my birth or the fact that I'm using them?"

"Both."

"I have a collection of 'Arendelle souvenirs' back home that make my father cringe. The fact that I actually use these mugs and things makes my mother laugh." Elsa replied. "Not all of my collection is silly things like this, but most of them are. It's Arendelle Royal history. The oldest pieces in my collection are a couple of my namesake's coronation banners."

Finally the two of them sat down the breakfast Elsa had prepared. There were three pancakes for each of them.

Anna covered each of her three pancakes in butter and poured maple syrup over each of them. She was pleased by Elsa's choice of real maple syrup. "Real maple syrup and what are the toasted almonds for?"

"Put them on your pancakes," Elsa answered as she poured chocolate syrup on her stack of pancakes and sprinkling some of the almonds on top.

"Chocolate syrup on pancakes?" Anna asked.

"Why not?" Elsa asked as she sliced a bite sized bit and put it into her mouth. "Mmmm. Turned out better than I expected."

Anna took a bite of hers. "Oh wow. Almond pancakes. Elsa, how did you do this? I want to try yours with the chocolate syrup."

Elsa pushed her plate toward Anna. "Let me try yours."


Dr. Chen finished her examination. She turned to Anna. "I am going to fetch the Queen and the Prince. You may return to Elsa's side."

Anna did just that as the doctor left the room. She loved how cold to the touch Elsa always was. She didn't like hot weather. She took her hand in hers again and gently squeezed it. "Elsa? Please? I know you in there. I'm beginning to ask myself if you will ever come back. Please? Please, come back. Come back to me." She let her tears flow. "You're my best friend, and so much more. I need you in my life, Elsa. I love you."

As Anna lifted Elsa's hand to her mouth to give it a kiss, Kristoff, followed by his mother entered the room followed by Dr. Chen.

"wamoo" came soft little groan from the bed.

"Mother!" Kristoff screamed. "She's hurting her."

Cecilia smacked her son on the back of his head. "Be quiet. Your father gave Anna permission to sit with your sister. I do not believe from the sound that has come out of your sister's mouth is any indication that Anna is hurting her. The only one in this room who is hurting her is you, Kristoff. Your tone is hurting your sister not Anna giving Elsa's hand a kiss. Now let the doctor speak."

Dr. Chen nodded. "Thank you, Your Majesty." she replied. "Now, about Elsa. She is doing wonderful. I will be taking off the ventilator during the course of the evening. It is not a process of simply removing it. I am confident that she will be able to handle the breathing on her own, and there does not seem to be any evidence of infection or pneumonia, but the removal does have to be done slowly. Her body temperature seems to have dropped a bit, but from the physicians in Arendelle, that seems to be the norm with your daughter?"

Cecilia nodded. "Yes. Her temperature is usually one or two degrees cooler than the normal. It was of great concern when she was younger. She was a very annoyed little princess as she went through so many tests. They found nothing. As she grew older, they thought her low bodyweight was a contributing factor. That was not the case either. I am naturally quite skinny. She gets that from me. Top that with a high metabolism, she's skinny as I am. Does she eat? It's a question I get all the time. Believe me, my daughter eats just fine."

Anna snickered.

"Why are you snickering?" Kristoff asked angrily.

"Elsa can pack in a lot of food into that tiny body." Anna responded. "I've witnessed it many times."

Dr. Chen cleared her throat. "I want all of you to leave and have a hearty dinner. Rest up. If all goes well during the night, Elsa will be up and ready to see you in the morning. Should anything go wrong I will not hesitate to call you."

Kristoff looked at the doctor. "She's going to be damaged, isn't she?"

His mother gave her son a look. "Kristoff! What kind of a question is that?"

"That's what Jans says. People with severe head injury and trauma usually have brain damage." he defended. "She's going to need constant care and I just know you are going to give that task to me."

Dr. Chen looked at the young Prince. "That is true in some cases. But your sister's injuries as serious as they were, were not life threatening. Any kind of brain injury is taken very seriously. The head being shaken can cause injury to the brain, and her spinal cord could have suffered an injury. From the accident report, it appears that the blow to her head rendering her unconscious and causing her the head injury was from the impact the limousine made as it stopped suddenly with the second impact into a building. She must have been sleeping or resting on a pillow which absorbed the initial impact. Her brain had swelled but it healed nicely. The status of her rib and lung injuries was my main concern. Broken ribs and collapsed lungs can be quite painful as your mother and father can attest to. Elsa suffered much more in that department compared to your parents. I wanted to make her comfortable as she recovered. "

Anna tried to stifle a giggle as she looked to the stuffed dog lying next to Elsa's head recalling the day she had given it to her and the way she placed in on her shoulder to sit. Marshmallow, you were sitting on Elsa's shoulder weren't you? Good boy!

Kristoff growled at Anna. "What do you find so funny?"

"She was not resting on a pillow. It was Marshmallow." Anna giggled. "He was sitting on her shoulder."

Dr. Chen smiled. "Marshmallow? Is that the stuffed dog? Yes, that could have been the pillow." she replied. "Now, let us allow Elsa to rest. She has a big night ahead of her. Your Majesty, please return to your room. I want to give you a final examination. I believe I can discharge you tonight so you can return to the hotel and get a good night's rest before returning tomorrow morning to see your daughter. And I am sure, as a mother, you do not wish your daughter to see you in a hospital gown."

Cecilia nodded, and headed for the door shoving her youngest son out of the room leaving Anna at her daughter's side.

Anna squeezed Elsa's hand. Anna's stomach grumbled. "I didn't eat lunch." She laughed. "I've been sitting here all day thinking about our first date. That was so much fun! I think that was my favorite of all our dates, Elsa. You made me an 'American' breakfast. I had grown to love your 'Norwegian' breakfasts. But you made breakfast for me. That really meant a lot to me. I miss your cooking."

She looked at her friend, no she corrected herself girlfriend as she lay there in the bed. "Your mother is going to be discharged today, Elsa. Isn't that great? Your father is still in the hospital, but I think it's because of his broken legs. Just broken, so don't worry about him not walking. But having not one but two broken legs away from home can be a bit of a problem." Her stomach growled again. "I think I need to go and eat dinner. I'll be here in the morning to see you, Princess Snowflake. I love you."

Anna stood up and leaned in closer to Elsa. She kissed her on the cheek and then turned to leave.

Just as she reached the door, she heard a soft voice.

"nyewamoo, anna..."


Anna was smiling when she emerged from Elsa's room. She was greeted by the Queen's guard Fenris. "Excuse me, Miss Anna." he replied. "Her Majesty has asked me to stay behind an invite you to stay with us at the hotel."

"Wait what? I can't do that. I mean, well, can I, really? I am not really running out of money but I am using my Arendelle fund. I'll keep to myself and stay out of the way. "Anna responded.

"The Queen insists."

"I guess I can't turn her down then." Anna replied.

"Both the His and Her Majesties insist actually. Being such a dear friend to their daughter and coming all this way when you learned of the accident, and raising money for all of them by donating to their charities, they wish to return the favor to you." Fenris replied. "Her Majesty wishes for you do join her for dinner."

"Now that I can do without hesitation." Anna laughed. "I told Elsa I was leaving because I was hungry."

Fenris lead her to the Queen's room. "Do not worry. Prince Kristoff has gone with Hjalmar, my guard partner. He was not at all pleased with his parents' decision to invite you. But do not worry, he received quite an earful from His Majesty about treating you well, and if he doesn't the King will hear it from the Queen as well as us, the guards. We care about Elsa as well."


Dinner with the Queen was absolutely delightful. The Queen had insisted Anna call her Cecilia. They had decided to return to the hotel and order room service from the room. The room was a rather large suite with three rooms that could be expanded by doors that opened to the suite next door, which it was to accommodate the guards. Despite having been laying in a hospital bed for a little over a week, Cecilia was tired. She longed to sleep in her own bed of course, but the hotel bed would do. It was certainly better than the hospital bed.

Kristoff and Hjalmar, the Queen's second guard returned just as Cecilia and Anna had finished their dinner. If the young prince was unhappy at the invite of Anna, he was now livid at the decision his mother was making about sleeping arrangements.

"Anna, why don't you stay in Elsa's room? My husband and I have one room. Kristoff I am sure has been using the other room." A nod from Hjalmar confirmed her assumption. "I am sure it's not the first time in slept in Elsa's bed, and Elsa won't mind. However, even at home, Elsa does not allow her brothers in her room." Cecilia was smiling.

Anna blushed.

Kristoff opened his mouth to say something but a quick look from his mother shut it and he stormed off to his room.

Cecilia shook her head at her son.

"Thank you, Cecilia." Anna replied. A hotel bed was going to feel a lot nicer than the hostel bed she had slept in during her stay. They had stopped at the hostel on the way for her to check out and grab her things. Deciding that she wanted to rest she went into Elsa's room.

Elsa's things were in the corner of the large room next to the window. Anna smiled noticing the colors of the two suitcases. The larger one was purple and the smaller one green. The colors of Arendelle. There was also a black case which Anna assumed was her keyboard. So not to clutter the room and perhaps a bit of feeling close to Elsa, Anna put her duffle bag and backpack next to Elsa's things.

She flopped herself on the fluffy bed. Shit. I was going to go to the laundry mat tonight. I don't have clean underwear or clothes for that matter. Getting off the comfortable bed she headed for the bathroom to look for a laundry bag.

"There's a robe!" she replied out loud as she took it off the back hanger. "I've never been to a hotel that supplied the guest's robes before." She took off the clothes she was wearing and put on the luxurious robe. Looking at herself in the mirror she laughed and resisted the urge to take a picture of herself. She thought of taking a picture for Elsa, but she just could not think of a way to top what Elsa had done.

She left the bathroom with the laundry bag she had found and dumped all her clothes inside. She exited the room and was greeted by Kristoff sitting on the large couch in the center of the room.

"Is that my sister's robe? You had better not be wearing my sister's clothes." he replied.

"No, it does not belong to your sister." Anna responded rather annoyed by the young prince. "It's a hotel robe. I found it hanging on the back of the door. Elsa's suitcases are in the corner of the bedroom. I would imagine however that your sister's robe would either be purple or green, the colors of Arendelle, or ice blue, her favorite color."

"What do you want?" Kristoff asked.

"From you? Nothing." Anna replied. "I just want to get my clothes washed."

Kristoff stared at Anna. "Well, you had better not be expecting me to do it."

"Of course not." Anna responded. "Actually, I wouldn't expect you to wipe your butt by yourself."

Someone in the room burst out laughing. It was male, and it wasn't Kristoff. No, Kristoff was so angry Anna thought his head might explode. Anna turned around to see who she assumed was the Cecilia's other guard. She snickered. Hjalmar was it? He looked like Thor. Anna thought. He had shoulder length blond hair. He as tall. And he had a muscular build.

"Are you in need of something?" he asked in a soft deep voice. "You have met Fenris. I am Hjalmar."

"Actually, I wanted to get my clothes washed. The hotel provides that service does it not?"

"It does. Give them to me. I will be sure that it is done. You need them by tomorrow, am I right?" Hjalmar asked.

"Yes." Anna replied. "I had planned on heading to the laundry mat tonight. Thank you."

She returned to the bedroom and decided she needed a bath. The showers at the hostel were tolerable at best. She liked to take a bath at least once a week. Showers were great but once in a while a soak in a hot bath was needed.

Once the bath was ready, Anna got into the tub.


Kenneth Hahn State Recreational Area. Anna squealed as she parked the car, turned off the motor, opened her door and rushed to the passenger side opening the door for Elsa. Elsa chuckled taking Anna's extended had as she exited the car.

"I take it you approve of a picnic in the park?" Elsa asked.

"Like it? I love it! I've always wanted to have a good old fashioned picnic." Anna replied opening the trunk so Elsa could get what Anna now knew was the picnic supplies and edible goodies. "It's a perfect day for a picnic too. Not to hot and not too crowded."

From the front pocket of the pack, Elsa took out a bottle of sun cream. After applying it on herself she offered it to Anna who applied it on herself as well.

"You really have thought of everything, haven't you?" Anna responded handing the sun cream back to Elsa. "I never remember sun cream and I regret it later.

"I try." Elsa replied. "As Queen, I will have many things to keep on top of. I have a lot of things that I do back home as well to prepare for the day I take my father's place. But I can be forgetful too, as you witnessed this morning with the coffee. Are you ready? There are a few short trails we can walk before lunch."

Anna nodded as she took her camera bag out of the trunk. She noticed Elsa flinch. "Don't worry, Elsa. Just personal pictures. I won't post them on social media. Just pictures for you and me, okay? I'll delete anything you don't like."

"I trust you won't sell any photos to the paparazzi." Elsa replied.

"Oh god. I didn't think of that." Anna replied. "Do you think we will be followed?"

"Actually, I don't think so. I haven't noticed any in a while. Let's just let it go and enjoy the day."

They walked hand in hand about the park. Anna suddenly gasped as they approached the large pond, lake?

"Oh my god! Elsa, do you know where this place is?" Anna asked in excitement.

"Uh... um, I do not understand." Elsa responded.

Anna pulled her hand away she gestured sweeping around the park. "Elsa! This is the park where they filmed episodes of the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers! Come on! Everyone watched that right?" she said with enthusiasm Elsa had not witnessed before. "Oh mygod! Come on."

Grabbing Elsa by the hand again Anna took off running dragging the startled giggling Elsa behind her. Then she stopped. "We are having our picnic here." Anna announced stamping her foot down on a flat rock near the shore."

"Here?" Elsa asked.

"Yes, here. This is the spot where Kimberly and Billy had their picnic. Oh please say you made fish and chips and have a red and white checkered blanket for us to sit on?" Anna squealed. "Oh wait. Did you watch Power Rangers in Norway?"

Elsa was laughing at her friend. "That would have been my brothers."

"Please don't say it was a show for girls."

"I'm not going to say that. Actually, I did watch it occasionally with my brothers when it was their turn in front of the television and I didn't want to read or draw." Elsa replied. "I played Rita Repulsa when my brothers wanted to play 'Power Rangers' and I always won. My Putties were not so easily defeated."

Anna burst out laughing. "You're kidding." she replied. "You're not kidding."

"I'm not." Elsa chuckled. "We all got to learn martial arts after it was banned. Jans took it seriously because he thought 'being a hero' he could call attention to himself but he couldn't handle the discipline it took. Jack just was having fun as usual. I took it as seriously as my studies would allow time for."

"Elsa, you never fail to amuse and amaze me. You are full of surprises." Anna replied as Elsa kneeled down to prepare the picnic spot. "I took martial arts as well for a while with a friend. Later I want you to show me your moves."

"You never fail to make me laugh." she replied inviting Anna to sit. "Even that first day when I got hit in the face with the door."

"Wait, what? You laughed at that?"

"Yes, afterward I did." Elsa replied. "I could not believe you almost did it a second time!"

"Sorry."

Elsa laughed. "You pretty much established from the moment I met you that you didn't give a shit about who I was, and reminded me that I wasn't in Arendelle anymore."

"Ah... You're welcome?" Anna chuckled as Elsa took out the blanket and prepared their picnic. Elsa's blanket was her favorite color, ice blue. "I should have known your blanket would be ice blue. Why did I even hope it would be red and white checked?"

For lunch Elsa prepared egg salad sandwiches, Caesar salad and potato chips. Each component was in a plastic container that stacked together neatly with its own blue ice coolant pack. She also pulled out another stack container set with glavlaks, sliced tomatoes, cream cheese and rye crisps for them to share.

Anna squealed at how cute everything was packed. "Did you forget the drinks?"

Elsa pulled out two bottles of water. She held them for a moment before handing one ice cold bottle to Anna.

Anna cracked open the bottle and downed about half of the ice cold liquid. "Ahhh. Nothing tastes better than ice cold water on a hot day." she replied. "You are going to have to tell me your secret to keeping it ice cold like that."

Taking a deep breath, Elsa cracked open her own bottle and took a swig. Should I tell her? Elsa sighed.

"It's a family secret." She didn't lie.

They ate and took in the beauty of the park.

"It really is nice out." Anna replied as she took a bite of the salad. "I like this park. I've always wanted to visit it."

"Because of the Power Rangers?" Elsa asked.

Anna looked down sheepishly. "Yes."

"You should take a picture of us eating here."

"I should!" Anna laughed. Anna took out her tripod and set it up to hold the camera. She set up the shot and set the timer. "Are you ready? It's on a timer so just act natural."

Elsa smiled and started eating again. The picture was taken and Elsa laughed. "You must give me a copy of the picture so I can send it to my brothers. I want to see if they recognize this place."

When they were finished with the sandwiches, chips and salad Elsa placed the containers into her backpack. It was much lighter now without the food. She then folded up the blanket and they explored the park some more walking hand in hand. When Anna wanted more water, Elsa took another bottle from her pack. Again she paused before giving it to Anna. Anna cracked it open and it was ice cold.

She took several swigs. Satisfied she put the cap back on and gave Elsa a glare.

"What?" Elsa asked.

"It's ice cold again." Anna replied. "How did you do that?"

Elsa took a deep breath. "Promise you won't scream, get too excited, call me a freak, a monster, a spawn of the devil?"

Anna laughed. "Elsa, I'm serious. Don't joke around. It's just a simple question. How do you keep the water so cold?"

"I'm not joking." Elsa replied. "There are people in my kingdom that would likely lock me up, think I'm a freak/monster, and call me the spawn of the devil if they knew. As much as my father Adgar is loved, and as much as I, Elsa am loved, there are still those who are not so affectionate toward the ancestors which we are named after."

Elsa took the water bottle from Anna and held it in her hands and then gave it back. "Drink it."

Anna took off the cap and tried to drink it. "Elsa, it's frozen."

"Yup." Elsa replied. "I inherited 'the family curse'. From the start, I've been able to control it. My father has always accepted my power and helped me control it; use it, unlike Queen Elsa's father. The only time I lose control is when I get annoyed, angry or extremely mad. Sometimes when I'm very upset, I lose it as well. King Adgar the first meant well, but he didn't do a very good job."

Anna took Elsa by the hands. "Explains why your hands are always cold." she replied as Elsa nodded. "Elsa, I don't think you're a monster or a freak. I think it's kind of cool, no pun intended. It's like you're a mutant, an X-Man or something. I won't tell. And I will make it a point not to get you angry. I don't what to know what happens when you lose control."

"I'm kind of surprised that I didn't freeze the kitchen this morning. I guess my getting upset with myself was more nerves than actual fear."

Elsa looked down at her feet. There was ice forming around her feet. Damn it. She bit her lip and then looked up. She looked Anna in the eyes, and closed her eyes as she closed the distance between them. Their lips met in a tender kiss. When they parted they stared at each other and embraced each other. For that moment, everything was perfect.
