Author's note: Hey there! I wanted to give you guys a story earlier, but I've had some writer block for a while with three half finished stories and two that I've been thinking of but not writing down. Then the promo pics came up and my inspiration was sparked and formed this story. It's short, but it's been in my head all day... Distracting me from school work that is.
Also I've mentioned this before, if you want to see a story connected to a spoiler which I haven't written her, please tell me! It might just be in the making or if not I'll try my best to write it.
Stories connected to: None.
Spoilers: The promo pics and that tinsy bitsy bit in the new extended promo. You'll know it when you see it... Hopefully. It starts where that sneak peek from SDCC left off.
Summary: Starts after the sneak peek from SDCC; Elsa gives Anna her wedding gift and has a small talk with Kristof about sleeping in the stables.
I do not own Once Upon a Time in anyway... Besides my own DVD collection.
Wedding Gift
"It's for your wedding." She said to her sister Anna. Anna's smile grew wider leading her back to the castle.
"What else could you possibly give us for our wedding Elsa? Your blessing is more than enough." Anna explained as she led them down a stone corridor.
"See for yourself." She said as she opened the white curtains to a small room. There were various different objects in the room such as old wooden toys and instruments.
On the right side was a cream wardrobe with patterns on it. It was much like Elsa's room door. There was a window on the other side of the room with the same kind of curtains.
They walked inside the room and stood in from of the wardrobe. She went to open it but was interrupted by Anna. "Elsa..."
"Just wait a second." She said not being able to hide her excitement when she turned around. Anna was becoming anxious so she opened the wardrobe.
Inside was a beautiful wedding dress. The sleeves were puffed. The dress also puffed out at the bottom, but not too much. The dress had the Arendelle symbol on it in cream.
She took out the dress for Anna to get a better look at. It was quite sparkly, but she knew Anna loved it that way. Her eyes lit up with love as she saw the dress.
"Oh Elsa..." She said taking the dress to get a better look at it. "It's beautiful, and exactly how I imagined it." She said with wonder.
"I thought you would like it. It isn't complete yet." Anna had been busying admiring the dress she hadn't noticed what she had said.
"Wait, what?" She asked. She reached for a light blue square box at the bottom of the empty cupboard. She opened it and took out a silver snowflake necklace with a blue gem in the centre.
"It isn't complete without this." She held out the necklace, the chain in one hand and the pendant in the other so she could see. She gasped again and she smiled even wider (if possible) at her sister's reaction. Her sister was lost for words as she put the necklace on her sister. She grabbed the pendant looking down at it.
"Elsa you didn't have to do all this."
"Yes I do. You're my sister and I've shut you out for too many years. It's my turn to make it up to you. After all you came after me when I ran away the first time." Anna just hugged her, dress in between them. She hugged her tight cherishing this moment with her sister.
She pulled away from the hug holding both her hands. "Where is Kristof?" She asks.
"In the stables with Sven, again. Sometimes I think he loves that reindeer more than me." She joked.
"I think I am going to have a word with him." She turned around but her overly optimistic sister stop her.
"You aren't going to give him 'If you hurt my sister talk' again are you? He's still slightly scared from the first time." She asked smiling. Her expression was now serious.
"No, I just want to talk to him about where he has been sleeping." She said before letting go of her sister, flashing a smile before going out the curtains.
She went out to the stables and stood in the doorway, watching him talk and feed Sven. "I wondered where all the carrots had disappeared to." She told him walking up. She never minded the stables and all the dirt, but she was worried her cape would get ruined.
He turned around shocked to see her. "Elsa, I didn't expect to see you." He said putting down the basket which once had carrots. He fed the last carrot to Sven and turned to her. "What can I do for you?" His hat was in his hands.
"I wanted to see how you two were doing. Since you've been sleeping here, not in the castle." She replied dryly. It's true, Kristof had been sleeping in the stables with Sven rather than inside the castle where it was warmer and safer.
"We're doing fine." He replied avoiding her question.
"Come sleep in the castle. We have a room right next to Anna's for you." She tried to convince the ice loving man.
"What if Sven gets lonely? I've never left him alone before." He said patting the reindeer. She tilted her head slightly.
"This isn't about Sven is it?" She asked him. He sighed as he had been caught.
"The castle, it's just so big. I've never had a physical building to call home before. I would usually just sleep outside with my family- The trolls." He clarified. "Then after that I would sleep in barns wherever someone would let me. Selling ice for a living doesn't give much pay."
"Sven is the one that's been with you through everything, that's why you don't want to leave him." It was more of a statement than a question. How did she not see this before? Before he met Elsa all he knew was the trolls and Sven basically.
She knew how it was to be alone.
"Yeah." She gave him a smile.
"Well you have us now. You can't be still sleeping in the stables, especially after marrying Anna. You will be a prince, so you need to act a bit like one at least. Starting with sleeping on a bed." He thimbles with his hat nervously.
"Who exactly gives you the power to tell me what to do?" He questioned.
"I'm the queen." She said as though it was obvious.
"Oh, right." He said as though he forgot. "I will sleep in the castle tonight then." She smiled and was about to turn and leave before turning back.
"Thank you Kristof." She said.
"For what?"
"Making my sister happy. For protecting her and helping her find me when I ran away. I wouldn't want my sister to marry any other man." She said sincerely. He smiled.
"I wouldn't want anyone else as my sister-in-law." He said back. She smile and left the stables.
