"Alright, Olaf. Now, you have to promise to be very quiet. Any noise could ruin our chances of finding this chocolate thief." Anna knelt behind the counter in the kitchen and peered around the corner. Olaf sat next to her, sitting on the ground and holding his feet as he rocked back and forth.
"This is going to be so much fun."
"Shhhh!" She peered around the corner a second time. For the past several days, she had noticed her secret stash of chocolate decreasing in number. She always made sure to count her chocolate pieces before hiding them away again, and the number she counted never matched up anymore. Someone was stealing her chocolate, and she was determined to find out who.
She heard quiet footsteps nearby. Quickly hiding herself behind the counter, she motioned with her hand to Olaf to be quiet. He nodded. Anna raised her fingers and began to count.
One finger went up. She could hear the drawer being opened.
A second finger went up, and finally the third. With a yell, she dashed toward the intruder and tackled him to the ground. She raised a fist. "Now I've got you, you...Elsa?"
Her sister lay sprawled on the floor, her eyes wide with shock and frost slowly spreading around her.
"Hi! I'm Olaf and I like..." Olaf trailed off. "Elsa! It's you!"
Elsa's face went from shock to one of anger. Her eyebrows scrunched tightly together, and her lips pressed into a firm line. Anna gulped. This was not going to be good.
"What are you doing tackling me to the ground?"
"I...uh...well..."
Olaf gave a huge smile. "We were trying to find the chocolate thief."
Elsa raised an eyebrow. "Chocolate thief?"
Anna clambered off her sister and sat on the ground beside her. Elsa raised herself to a sitting position and crossed her arms over her chest. Anna swallowed, and she could feel her cheeks flushing hot. "Someone's been stealing from my chocolate stash. I thought I would figure out who it was and stop them."
Now it was Elsa's turn for her cheeks to turn bright red. She glanced away. "Well, that is a wonderful idea."
Anna saw her sister's expression, saw the way her hands started to twist together. It wasn't hard to put two and two together. "You. You've been stealing my chocolates haven't you?"
Elsa drew her head back. "Why would you think of such a thing?"
"Elsa."
Her sister bowed her head. "Yes, I've been stealing your chocolates."
"Why would you steal my chocolates?"
Elsa smirked. "Why wouldn't I? It was just so funny to see you when you noticed chocolates were missing. I hoped you wouldn't find out so soon. Besides, don't you remember the game we used to play as kids? I would hide my chocolates, you would hide yours, and then we would try to find each other's boxes. Old habits die hard, and you have the wonderful German kind."
Anna playfully hit her sister on the shoulder. "Why don't you get your own?"
Elsa's eyes twinkled. "Now where would the fun be in that? Besides, you have yet to find my chocolates."
"I'll take that as a challenge."
Elsa stood up and helped her sister rise. "Now, since we're both up so late in the night, how about we have a midnight snack? The cooks will never have to know we raided the kitchen without their assistance."
"I like mischievous Elsa."
Her sister winked. "You haven't seen anything yet." As they started heating a pot of warm milk over the fire, Anna couldn't keep from smiling. This had turned out to be a good evening after all.
