Ch.10

They were all chit chatting about their stories and lives. Hiccup turned to Elsa, "It seems you've done a good job here."

She blushed, "I wish I could take credit... All I did is send out invitations."

He gave a half smile, "And none of us would be here right now if you hadn't."

"I'm sorry about the ice..." She said looking at him. Hiccup only smiled and shook his head as if there was no reason to apologize. She couldn't help but smile back. She finally looked around at the rest of the group. "Um though I hate to interrupt, we do have a tour to finish..."

"Oh, right!" Anna said, "There's so much more to see! Come on!" She exclaimed jumping up and heading to the door. "Well come on!" She said looking at the group giving them no choice but to follow.

They left the room and began to follow Anna around again. She got to the stairs and slid down the banister instead of walking. Elsa cringed, why couldn't she ever act like a princess? But to her surprise Rapunzel slid down after her. Their men shrugged and followed them down. "Well if everyone's doin it!" Merida smiled laughing the whole way down.

Elsa took the first step down the stairs when Hiccup stopped her, "You're not really gonna walk down now!?" He said sitting on the hand rail.

She looked at him, "A queen does not slide down the banister."

"A queen may not but what would Elsa do?" He asked but she didn't answer, "All those people are royalty and they slid... Some times you just gotta let it go." Hiccup said with a smirk letting go of his hold and beginning to slide. And for the first time in her life she slid down the banister after him. Because of her icy dress she caught up quickly to Hiccup. They were nearing the end when she heard Hiccup's exasperated voice, "And bad thing..." She realized with Hiccup's foot he'd have a hard time landing on the slick floors. Just as he shot off the end she created a snow pile that he landed in and she quickly followed.

Anna was in shock. Never in her entire life had Elsa slid down after her. She began to worry until the two popped out of the snow laughing. Which of course made the entire group laugh. They managed to climb their way out of the snow. Hiccup brushing the snow off until Elsa removed the snow from herself and him with a simple flick of her wrist. She turned to the snow pile which Rapunzel was walking up to. "So pretty..." She said looking at it as if it was the most amazing thing. She reached out her hand touching it, "But cold!"

"Is this the first time you've ever seen snow?" Elsa asked.

"Well Corona's the kingdom of the sun. We don't ever get snow." Elsa smiled and created a small snow storm just above the group. Rapunzel looked around her with the biggest smile on her face. She began to twirl around excitedly. They all began to play when Hiccup formed a snowball throwing it at Elsa hitting her squarely in the back.

Elsa turned toward Hiccup eyebrow raised, "You dare challenge the SNOW Queen?" She asked forming 5 snow balls at once which floated around her. He gulped and jumped behind the snow pile as they went whizzing by his head.

"Snowball fight!" Merida yelled forming a snowball and throwing it at Kristoff.

"Uh... What's a snowball?" Rapunzel asked as a ball of snow went flying past her head, "Oh... Snowball! Now how do you make one. Eep!" She ducked as three more came flying her way.

"Come on blondie!" Eugene called as the two ducked behind another snow pile that had formed in the room. The two looked over too see Anna hiding as well forming an arsenal. She looked over as she readied her arm to throw a snowball at them.

"Wait! Wait! Can you at least show me how to make one first!" Rapunzel begged.

Anna's arm relaxed as she began to giggle. "Alright I guess we can form an alliance." She said as she gave instructions for the perfect snowball. "Now that you've made the snowball all you have to do is aim and throw." Rapunzel peeked her head up and threw the snowball at Merida. It fell pathetically on the ground coming nowhere near it's target.

Anna began to giggle, "hehe guess I don't got that part down yet..." Rapunzel said.

Just then Kristoff came sliding behind the snow pile, "Oh you form an alliance with them, but throw a snowball in my face?" He asked Anna.

"Are you kidding they would have been covered head to toe in snow if I hadn't of helped them."

Kristoff looked down at himself several patches of snow on him where he'd been hit. "With your sister, any of us could be covered in snow." He folded his arms, "I don't think we have a chance at winning."

"Don't say that! We have the best chance right now! It's 6 against 1!"

"Um but I think your sister can make more than 6 snowballs at once." Rapunzel piped up.

Merida rolled into the conversation (literally), "Man, your sister really is the snow queen."

"Well it is her element." A voice said behind them making the group jump and turn only to see Hiccup, "I'm proposing an alliance are only chance in victory is in numbers." He said seriously.

"Hey! That's what I said!" Anna whined.

"Well then I suppose we're all agreed already." He said smiling at the group, "We should try all attacking at once. A final showdown." He added dramatically. "If you get hit you're out. But if we manage to hit Elsa... We win." Not a single snowball had managed to hit Elsa since the first one thrown.

"It's probably the best chance we have." Merida said, "I sure wasn't able to hit her." She added.

"Alright grab as many snowballs as you can carry. We all charge on 3." Hiccup said as they collected their ammo and readied themselves to charge. "1..."

"Oh I'm ready!" Anna said getting excited.

"2..."

"I was born ready!" Merida said narrowing her eyes.

"Calm down, ladies." Eugene said.

"3!" Hiccup bellowed and they all charged the queen.

Kristoff quickly took a hit. Another snowball went flying towards Rapunzel. Eugene saw this, "Rapunzel!" He cried jumping in front of the snowball taking the hit himself.

"Eugene!" Rapunzel exclaimed dropping to the ground where he had landed.

He shivered, "Snow got in my shirt... So cold!"

"I will avenge you!" She cried grabbing a snowball and throwing it at Elsa. It fell uselessly a few feet away from them.

"You know I'm not feeling very avenged right now..." Eugene said looking up at Rapunzel skeptically

A snowball flew and hit her in the chest. Snow quickly dripped into her dress, "Ah! Cold! Cold! Cold! Cold! Cold!"

It was down to Hiccup, Anna, and Merida. They charged throwing snowball after snowball at her which she easily dodged. It was like she felt them rather than saw them. Merida came close to hitting her but Elsa sent back one of her own. This one found it's target and Merida grumpily trotted away defeated. Elsa sent two flying in Hiccup and Anna's direction. Anna was hit but Hiccup rolled out of the way stopping on his knee and throwing his last snowball. It almost hit her in the shoulder barely able to move out of the way fast enough. Elsa flung another snowball which hit him in the gut.

Elsa laughed, "Does this mean I win?"

"Aw, you almost had her!" Anna whined. "I've been trying to beat her since like forever!"

"I think I came closer than he did." Merida said jerking her thumb in Hiccup's direction.

"That was so much fun!" Rapunzel ran up to the group, "I saw snow for the first time! Had my first snowball fight!" She ran up to Elsa, "That was so cool!... Oh haha cool that's actually kinda funny!"

She smiled, "I'm glad that- well THIS," she looked down at her hands, "Can make someone so happy."

Rapunzel frowned, "As queen and as a sister you make plenty of people happy each day."

'But not with my powers.' Elsa thought. 'Might as well do the only really good thing with my powers', "Let's clean this mess up." Elsa said to the group.

Her voice was cheery and she made the snow disappear no problem. But there was something false about her smile Hiccup didn't like. Did she not know how truly beautiful her magic was?
