AN: I'm so so sorry for the delay! This couple of weeks has been really hectic for me. First I was in London and our trip was so great! I saw Wicked which was amazing and met Willemijn Verkaik at the stage door which was even more amazing because she's like my biggest idol ever! *heart* Then the Finnish DVD of Frozen was finally released which means I've been really busy on YouTube uploading all sorts of Frozen related stuff like crazy :D Gosh, I love that Finnish dub so much! And then there's of course school… I just had to write my German and Swedish compositions and other things like that…
Anyway, I still can't believe this story has gotten 100+ followers! :O Thank you so much! And also thanks to all 10 000+ viewers :)
Elphaba'sGirl: First of all, I think that was the best review I've ever gotten! Thank you so much! *I would put many hearts here if I could* And yes, I've seen you around in the Wicked corner! That's also one of my favorite places to be :) Actually when I read your review, I had just seen Wicked a few hours earlier!
monkeymouse7906: Thank you for your many reviews! I'm really glad you like this story :)
This chapter feels really short but it's the best I can do at the moment. I wrote it in little snippets and therefore I'm not so sure about its quality :/ It's basically a filler chapter but I'm already planning some start of Jelsa for the next one ;)
Chapter Ten: The Palace
"Where's all your stuff?"
"What do you mean?"
Jack shrugged and put his hands in his pockets. "You're obviously a woman-"
"Like you wouldn't know," Elsa snorted interrupting him.
"And usually women tend to have this huge amount of stuff with them when they go somewhere," he continued. "So, I was just wondering where you have put all that stuff."
Elsa looked at him. "Well, it looks like I'm not an ordinary woman then," she smirked. "And if you really need to know, all my stuff," she emphasized the word a little too much, "is at the palace."
"And how long does it take to get there?" Jack asked.
Elsa didn't answer but simply pointed at something ahead of them. Jack lifted his head and there, right in front of them, stood the most beautiful building he had ever seen in his life.
"Oh my God," he breathed. The palace was made of ice. Ice! Pure solid ice. Elsa grinned when she saw Jack's expression and encouraged him to take a closer look. He did so and slowly made his way towards the castle. When he had almost reached the icy staircase, a huge pile of snow next to him started to move. Jack turned around and drew a quick breath.
"What is that!?" he squealed like a girl and Elsa couldn't suppress her laughter. Elsa's giant "snow guard" stared at Jack and he gulped.
"It's okay Marshmallow. He's my husband," Elsa informed him. "We are going to spend a few days here, okay? For future references, try not to scare him too much. I don't want him to pee in his pants."
Jack glared at Elsa and she laughed. Marshmallow nodded and slumped back into his position as a huge pile of snow.
Jack was still staring at Elsa with wide eyes as she turned to look at him.
"What?" she asked and raised her eyebrow.
"You named him Marshmallow!?" Jack exclaimed.
"I didn't name him! Olaf did," Elsa defended herself and started to walk up the stairs.
"Well, that explains everything," Jack rolled his eyes and followed her.
Telling everyone they were going to take a little vacation at Elsa's palace had gone really well. Most of the people thought they were on a honeymoon and only a few people knew the real reason. Anna was of course one of them and Elsa had been a little worried about telling her because of her being… well, Anna.
Flashback:
"You've been avoiding me."
"No, I haven't."
"Yes, you have!" Anna exclaimed. "I know I can be a little annoying at times but I'm still your sister!"
"I've just been busy," Elsa lied and continued her way back to her chambers.
"It's Sunday, Elsa. I know you don't have to work on Sundays and besides, you just got married so they need to give you some free time!"
Elsa didn't say anything but just kept walking. Anna followed her to Elsa and Jack's bedroom and sat down on the soft bed. Elsa opened her wardrobe and started to look for a dress for dinner.
"What are you actually doing here?" she asked Anna who just sat on the bed watching her.
"Uhm… I just wanted to talk to you," Anna answered and played with the sheets.
"What about?"
"Well… the last time we talked was yesterday and I was just wondering…"
"What?" Elsa raised her eyebrows.
"The other day you were worried about… you know… your wedding night and I just wanted to be sure you are okay…"
"I am okay, Anna. You don't need to worry about me," Elsa assured.
"Really?"
"Yeah, we are actually going to take a little vacation at my ice palace."
Anna's eyes widened. "Oh that's so nice! It's like a honeymoon!"
"No, it's not," Elsa quickly protested.
"Of course it is!" Anna exclaimed dramatically. "You two, together, alone, after your wedding!"
"Anna, it's not a honeymoon," Elsa emphasized clearly. "We are going to spend some time together because we want to get to know each other better. My ice palace is empty so it's a perfect place for us to relax a little."
Anna laughed. "Yeah, an ice palace for two icy souls! When are you leaving?"
"Tomorrow."
"Oh! What happened between you two last night when you are so eager to leave so soon?" she smirked at her.
Elsa blushed. "Nothing."
"You're blushing!" Anna teased her.
"No, I'm not!"
Anna just laughed. "Yes you are! Come on just tell me!"
Elsa sighed. "There are some things in my life that are private. You know that, right?"
"Yeah?"
"Unfortunate for you, this thing belongs to them as well."
Anna's face fell and she pouted. "You are no fun."
"I know," Elsa chuckled before exiting the room with a dress in her hands. Anna just sat on the bed with that pout still on her face.
Elsa smiled at the memory when she stepped inside the palace, Jack following suit. She could hear him muttering "Oh my God" over and over again and couldn't help but feel proud of her work.
Jack was completely awestruck. The palace was more than he had ever dared to imagine. Everything was made of ice and snow and Elsa had managed to decorate the palace with frozen patterns and snowflakes. She showed him around and he watched everything with pure amazement in his eyes.
"This place is amazing!" Jack exclaimed after Elsa had showed him everything. "How did you even manage to do this?"
"I'm not sure," Elsa answered. "I was quite emotional when I built this so I guess my powers got some strength from my emotions," she explained.
"Whatever it was, I'm sure that the power inside of you is huge."
"I think you could do the same if you wanted," Elsa smiled at him.
"Really?"
"Yeah. Have you ever tried of doing anything big with your powers?"
"No."
"Well, I kind of thought so… But really, I've seen your powers and I think they are at least as big as mine so I think you would be able to do the same."
Jack looked doubtful but shrugged. "If you say so."
They had been travelling a long time and Jack's stomach started to make sounds of hunger.
"Wanna something to eat?" Elsa asked. "I think I have food in the kitchen."
"Do you have something other than ice?" Jack smirked.
She rolled her eyes. "Very funny."
Do you know what I do when I want to have a little fun? I copy a part of this story, put it to Google Translate, translate it into Finnish and laugh my ass off :P
