This wasn't supposed to be the next chapter in the story, I had forgotten to put it in. Sorry about that. The next chapter will still be coming up today, so stay tuned. In the mean time, please enjoy this one.

Disclaimer: I don't own Frozen and am getting very tired of saying it in every chapter.

The morning drew on, and the anticipation of seeing the princess and queen was beginning to make the crowd restless. The sun was beating down on the line of dignitaries and citizens, many of whom thought they were going to die of heat stroke. Alex leaned against the low wall as he wiped his brow. "Couldn't you cool us down a bit, Nels? These fancy clothes look good but they're stuffy as hell." The rest of the dignitaries around him were too distracted by the heat to even bother shooting the prince a flabbergasted look.

Nels clapped his hand over Alex's mouth. In a low whisper, he hissed "Shut up! Do you want to get us run out of the city by an angry mob with pitchforks and torches? Do you want Weselton and Sitnalta to hate each other even more? Or Gallica?"

Alex was about to reply when Nels hushed him again. "Do you hear that? It almost sounds like… singing?"

A very faint but incredibly beautiful voice could be heard from the other side of the wall. A few other people began muttering to each other and cocking an ear towards the melody.

"For the first time in forever,

There'll be music, there'll be light!

For the first time in forever,

I'll be dancing through the night!"

The singing stopped about as soon as it had started. There was a considerable amount of grumbling from the rest of the crowd, but Rapunzel's face was lit up like a candle. "She likes to sing," Eugene explained as Nels stared at the princess. "She's just as good as the person we just heard."

"Oh stop it, you," Rapunzel pulled Eugene down and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Ugh," Nels grimaced, "Get a room, you two."

"We have one. You gave it to us," Eugene said, giving the admiral a quick wink.

Fifteen minutes later, because Anna can't just teleport around the castle, now can she?

A small commotion at the gates drew the waiting guests' attention. The guards pulled the gates open, and the singing could be heard again.

"The gates!"

A young woman dashed through the gates, only to stop momentarily when she saw the massive crowd in front of her. Holy shit, is that the princess? Nels thought. He elbowed Alex and gestured with his head to the singing girl. Alex shrugged, as if he knew what Nels was thinking. The guests began to surge forward, and the two could only get small glimpses of her. She had beautiful red hair, was wearing a green dress with a black bodice, but couldn't make out any details from this distance. The girl kept singing, but this time, the crowd could hear another voice drifting out from the courtyard.

"For the first time in forever,"

"Don't let them in, don't let them see!" the other voice sang.

"I'm getting what I'm dreaming of!" the redhead was now dancing her way through the crowd, ducking under a giant cake.

"Be the good girl you always have to be!"

The redhead leapt up and grabbed a lamppost. "A chance to change my lonely world!"

The crowd kept moving forward, blocking Nels's view and cutting out the sound of her singing. The other singer stood on a balcony overlooking the courtyard.

"Conceal,

Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know!"

The second singer had stopped. Nels finally lowered his gaze from the balcony and looked around the courtyard. Two fountains flanked the entrance into the castle, just below the balcony that the second singer was standing in. Then it hit him like a broadside from a first rate.

Conceal, don't feel? He thought. That's almost exactly what father told me to do when I was struggling with my powers. He looked down to his gloved hands.

There was definitely something going on here in Arendelle. And he intended to find out what.

I really liked writing the singing parts, but I don't know if I'll do more, because I'm not creative enough to come up with A. My own music, or B. My own version of one of the songs. But I do have another song planned toward the end that I saw on tumblr and thought "That's genius, I'm going to use that," while at the same time crying my eyes out. So I'll now ask you: Should I have Nels sing? At any point in the story? If so, what song could he do (like have him do a sea chanty or something). Anyway, thanks for reading, sorry about the mistake, and I'll see you all in a little bit.
