OK I hope you enjoy this chapter! Thank you All!


Elsa sat in the stands of her training arena, watching as the new recruits were trying very hard to impress her with her skills. They needn't worry, because she was already growing bored. Many of her guard's skills were rudimentary at best. They had promise, but they lacked drive. There was only one who showed promise that might work was her guard captain, Elias. He was quick and nimble, but showed strength that was all his own. He was the guard captain after all. Still there was a wave of arrogance to him. His strokes showed power and skill.

Elsa groaned and shoved her hand into her face. What was the point of this? If the only guard that was worthy of being her personal guard was her guard captain then what was the point of having these tryouts?

Anna approached her. Elsa was honestly surprised that Anna had asked to be here with Elsa. It was boring and Anna didn't particularly care. Elsa was honestly surprised that Anna had asked. They only reason she had said yes (because Anna was still grounded) was because Elsa had wanted her company during this process. Yet Anna had a smug smirk on her face the whole time, as if she was expecting something.

Elsa shrugged it off. Anna was just probably wondering if Elsa was going to check out of the guards. Of course, Elsa couldn't really care less about it.

Elsa wondered why Anna would even care. Of course she was her sister so there was that. But Anna was just being intrusive. Elsa didn't want to get married any time soon.

Why Anna was so intent on getting a boyfriend for her, Elsa didn't quite know. It was just no fun whatsoever for her. There were a lot of things that Elsa had to take into consideration for marriage, the least of which was love. Sure she didn't wanted to be trapped in a loveless marriage (not that she was interested in getting married at the moment) but there were more important matters. The suitor that Elsa would marry needed to have Arendelle's best interest at heart.

Anna didn't have to worry about that with Kristoff. She had found love and even better, Anna wasn't obligated to rule Arendelle, or Any other country for the matter.

She was lucky in that regard.

Either way, Elsa just wanted Arendelle to be safe.

Anna noticed Elsa's pensive look. Elsa was great at keeping her emotions in check and hide exactly what she was feeling. But after getting to know Elsa, Anna was quick to learn when she was hiding her emotions.

Right now, Elsa was hiding what she was thinking.

She was bored and disinterested in the affairs going on right now.

Anna grinned to herself. Her plan was about to be executed. She wanted to make this work.

Elsa had no idea what she had done. Of course she was very likely to be mad at her for it, but she might be happy in the long run.

Now the only problem was making sure that it worked.

Anna nudged Elsa's arm, startling her out of he daze.

Elsa glanced at her younger sister.

"Elsa, I can tell that your not exactly having fun here. Sleeping during things like this is usually my thing.

Elsa gasped. She was turning into Anna. She groaned and her face fell into her hands.

"Oh my god." she moaned. Looking up at Anna. She bit her lip. "This isn't the best day I've had."

Anna giggled, "Elsa, you always have a bad day with the amount of stuff you do. You work far to hard."

"Being queen doesn't mean I have the luxury of taking breaks Anna. If I fall behind, I wouldn't be doing a good job at being queen now would I?"

Anna giggled, leaning back. "Glad I'm not queen."

Elsa smiled. "Of course you are." She said." Being a princess has its moments too though."

Anna smiled "can't argue with that."

Elsa turned back to the field. The guard candidates were still practicing with one another. However something at the edge of the field caught her eye. A person in armor that looked vaguely familiar.

He was walking into the field, with a focused look on his face.

He had a sword in his left hand. Elsa gasped as she realized who it was.

It was the young man she had met several weeks ago at the docks, when she met up with Anna. What was he doing here? He wasn't a part of her guard!

Elsa quickly stood up and walked across the field walking past the guards who were still training. She strut right up to the young man "what are you doing here?"

Ranger walked into the field confused. He had been personally asked by the queen to partake in a tournament. It was a rather odd request. Arendelle was peaceful, or so he heard, but according to the Queens advisor he was to be a candidate.

Oddly still, the queen never saw him after their first encounter, so why had the older man even bothered? Sure you couldn't argue with one, but the queen did not know anything about him?

This would be fun though. it had been far too long since he had been able to use a sword for a fight .

Hopefully, he would find some worth out of this.

As he walked out into the field, he noticed ta young woman walking right up to him a look of anger on her face.

"What are you doing here?" she screamed.

Ranger cocked his head, staring at the angry eyes that were glaring right back "what are you talking about?" he asked

Elsa growled, "what game are you playing?" she almost yelled at him

Ranger was surprised by the Queens attitude. She had just told her she needed him for this… contest. Now she was angry with him for being here? What was she talking about?

Ranger gave Elsa a look of contempt. "Look your worship, I don't know what type of game you signed me up for, all I know is that I'm here because you asked me to be here."

Elsa gasped. What was this guy talking about? She hadn't asked for anyone to be here if they weren't already a guard. She felt ice materialize in her hand, even as she tried to keep herself from screaming any further.

Ranger stared into the angry blue eyes that were trying desperately to burn a hole in his face. Elsa was very close to him and he could feel her breath on his skin, even if she was angry. Up close she was very beautiful.

Elsa growled and stepped back. She did have authority to kick him out, but she had to find out what he was doing here. She rubbed her temple and asked "who brought you here?"

Ranger shrugged "older man, portly…"

Elsa held up a hand. She knew exactly who had brought him here. Now she only had to figure out as to why he was brought here. She would need to have a little talk with Kai later about this

And just what was he thinking bringing a civilian into her guard selection process? In all the time that she had known this young man, all he had one was manage to infuriate her to the point she couldn't even think straight.

Ranger on the other hand was just as confused as Elsa was. He had just been minding his own business when the old man showed up telling him about this… whatever it was

Before she could open her mouth to continue however, Ranger started to talk. "Listen princess. I'm only here because I was asked to be. I will be happy to leave once I fight."

Elsa gave Ranger a frown. Was he serious? According to Anna, he was just a blacksmith. How on Earth was he going to be able to fight her trained guards?

"And just what makes you think you can take them on." Elsa asked him

Ranger gave Elsa a wide grin "because I'm better than them."

Elsa's eyes widened. She felt ice materialize in her hand. How dare…. He was insulting her guards like that. She through up her hands and let out a groan

This guy was so infuriating. She wanted so badly to freeze him in a block of ice, or slap him, or just up and kill him. Of course she was the queen so that couldn't really happen.

She really needed to learn to control herself during this situation.

Ranger smiled smugly "careful your majesty, you wouldn't want to go around looking angry, now would you?"

Elsa glared at him, feeling her face go red. What was with this guy? He was constantly flirting with her, was so cocky that it made her unable to concentrate…. Ugg! It made her. So mad!

"I want you out of my castle… Now!" Elsa growled

Ranger simply shrugged "sorry your majesty, but I don't take orders from you." He said before walking past her and into the training area with the other guards.

Elsa watched him walk away growing more livid. How dare this man just up and… ugh!. She was about to chase him when she felt had hand land on her shoulder. Turning. She found Kai who was looking rather unashamed of the action that he had committed.

He gave Elsa a sad smile. "Forgive me your majesty, but I was acting under the orders of Princess Anna."

Elsa gasped. Of course. It had to be her sister.

Elsa turned to see Anna, who was trying desperately to sneak away

Oh no! She was not going to get way from this that easily.

Elsa quickly stomped her way back to Anna, who squeak with fear as she saw the look of anger in Elsa's eyes

"Anna!" she screamed, "Get over here!"

Anna stiffened scared at the sound of Elsa's voice. She was really mad!

She made her way to Elsa, trying not to look afraid. There wasn't much that Anna could do to explain her self. All she wanted was a good guard for Elsa. Was that to much to ask?

Apparently so, because Elsa was absolutely angry with her. Elsa hated it when Anna disregarded her in any matters that regarded things that shouldn't concern her. Here Elsa was with several Men who would be capable of protecting her, and now Anna was trying to complicate the matter.

It was not exactly a good thing to do

Elsa stopped in front of her younger sister, giving the younger girl a disapproving glare and tapping her foot.

Anna gave Elsa a smile "so…. Uh…" Anna couldn't say the right words. It was just not going to work right now.

The Princess shuffled her feet. There was absolutely no way that she was going to get out of this one. Elsa had caught her. There was no denying that.

All Anna wanted was to make sure that Elsa was safe. Her guard was very capable; there was no doubt about that whatsoever. Anna would just like it better if it was someone she trusted.

Elsa continued giving Anna a cold glare waiting for her explanation. Why Anna would go through the trouble was beyond her, usually Anna would just let political matters run there course; she wasn't usually involved.

The two monarchs continued to stare at each other, unwilling to say anything until the other did. It was a very bad situation at the moment. Kai was watching from a distance

The silence was finally broken however, when Anna screamed, "it seemed like a good idea!" So loudly that Elsa nearly jumped from surprise.

Elsa, after managing to calm down, groaned, "Anna, just because it seemed like a good idea, does not mean it's a good thing to do!" she told her "why would you-?"

"Oh come on Elsa. Its not like he-!"

Her rambling was cut off when Elsa used her ice to freeze her mouth shut.

"Keep your voice down!" she whispered harshly. The last thing she needed was people hearing something like that.

Anna wiped her mouth, almost shrieking from the cold sensation. After a few moments she was able to thaw her mouth.

Kai approached the two. "Your majesties, I'm sorry, but you really should sit."

That was Kai for "stop fooling around and sit"

Elsa and Anna jumped at the sound of Kai's voice. Even at this day in age, he was still able to shock them into stopping anything that the to of them were doing. It was the one thing that he was able to do

They glared at him, but he just continued to stare them down. it was never going to work.

Begrudgingly the two returned to their seats and sat down calmly

Anna sat down, trying very hard to suppress her smile. Sure Elsa was probably upset with her, but it was probably going to be worth it, if worked as well as she wanted it to

Elsa was so stubborn but it was for naught sometimes, at least in Anna's opinion. It wasn't a bad thing, but Elsa's attitude could really get on her nerves sometimes.

Anna hoped that Elsa would soon find that this was indeed a good thing.

Anna had found love with Kristoff (which was the best thing that could have happened to her) and Anna was hoping that Elsa could do the same. Anna just wanted Elsa to have the same chance.

Sure Elsa would probably continue to give her a stern talking to once this was over, but in the meantime, Elsa would just sit there quietly. Watching as the guards continued to show their skills.

It would have to work out

Elsa on the other hand was almost ready to freeze Anna for what her younger sister had done. Her guards were all she needed and here Anna was interfering with everything that needed to be done

All Elsa wanted was for everything to go well. Anna however, was going to complicate that with her plans

She wished Anna would stop doing things like that; Elsa never did anything to interfere with Anna's (unless Anna was about to get into some trouble, which she so often did). It was just not needed whatsoever, in Elsa's opinion.

Unfortunately though, Elsa really had no choice in the matter right now. Though she may not like what Anna had done, it would be unfair to just up and ignore someone who could help.

The guards were still handling themselves very well and not at all fighting down to the last man as of yet.

Elsa always knew that her guard did work hard and that was exactly what she was looking for in a personal guard.

The problem was that she didn't know the guards under her as well as she could.

Being the Queen meant that she had a lot of duties to attend to, and her guards did very little that connected straight to her. She only ever spoke to Zodrian, her military councilman on a regular basis and even then, it was all about business to her.

Zodrian rarely spoke of his personal life; there was really just no need to.

Anna was a far more positive person and she spent a lot more time with others than Elsa did (though it was usually with Olaf during a normal routine day) and therefore knew a lot more about the person she was hanging out with. It wasn't like it was a bad thing and in all honestly, Elsa didn't mind it at all

However now that she was going to have a guard follow her, getting to know her guard was bound to happen (unless she just decided to ignore or fire him) she wasn't a talkative person unless she needed to be, and if all a guard was doing was protecting her, that was all that was needed.

She watched as they continued to fight. They moved very gracefully and fought bravely, even if it was just a training match. It surprised her just how well they were doing, considering that she never spent any time with them. It wasn't much of her business anyway.

She smiled. Maybe she was just overreacting to this situation. She could always give her personal guard the day of if she wanted or dismiss him if she needed some privacy, whether that be with her sister, or just to be alone.

Her guards were very loyal to her, and that was one thing that was appreciated. She liked that she could trust them

Anna on the other hand was watching one particular person. She wanted her candidate to be the one to guard Elsa. It just couldn't happen any other way. If she could just get her sister to like her choice, then that would also be a plus for her.

Elsa probably wouldn't like it all too much, but it was better than someone who might take the job far to seriously.

Anna may not think the guards were important enough to guard Elsa since no crime was that bad in Arendelle (it was mostly robbery). But she would have better faith in some more than others.

Either way, it was happening, as she was honestly glad it was.

She looked at Elsa who was sitting as regal as always. She was sitting tall and straight-backed, with a smile on her face. It was how she always looked whenever she was doing something queenly.

Anna could never do that. She was clumsy and uncoordinated, but no one really minded. She just enjoyed that she was herself, and no one could take that way from her.

Elsa glanced at her and smiled. They didn't really need to say anything. They were both happy.

However as they looked back at the guards, they suddenly gasped and screamed
