Chapter 14: Anna's Plan Is Put Into Motion

For the next couple of weeks, Elsa noticed that Anna was in a very good mood and not to mention her being extremely busy. Whenever Elsa would ask her about it, Anna would put her finger to her lips and say it was a secret. Elsa was starting to grow a little nervous and a tiny bit paranoid but she decided to put her trust in Anna.

Elsa walked along and came outside the nursery where little baby Helena was. Elsa walked in and found Helena being carried by their nurse, Freja who had also looked after Josef when he was born.

"Oh your majesty," Freja said when she noticed Elsa. "I didn't see you there."

"Oh that's no problem Freja. I just came to visit my little niece."

Freja put Helena back into her crib and Elsa bent over Helena. Helena giggled and waved her arms and feet in the air. Elsa caused little snowflakes to appear and to dance in the air which made Helena laugh even harder and she tried to catch them.

"Oh sorry I didn't mean to interrupt," came a voice.

Elsa and Freja looked up and saw Jack had entered. Freja had her eyes narrowed at him. Ever since Jack had been able to be seen, people in the castle were wondering who he is and what he was doing. Somehow, it was no secret that he shared Queen Elsa's bed at night.

"I'll leave you alone," Freja said before leaving the room.

Jack came over and gazed down at Helena. Jack tickled Helena's stomach which made her giggled. Elsa turned to him.

"Jack I need to ask you something," she said.

"Okay," Jack said picking up Helena and cuddling her.

Elsa took a deep breath and opened her mouth but before she could Anna came in. Helena positively squealed with delight when she laid her eyes on Anna.

"There's my little angel," Anna said taking Helena from Jack and gazing into her eyes. "Are you having fun with Aunt Elsa and Uncle Jack?"

Helena giggled again for an answer.

"What were you going to tell me?" Jack said in Elsa's ear.

"Later," Elsa whispered back with a smile.

"So tonight I want you two in your best outfits tonight okay," Anna said jingling some of Helena's toys in front of her.

"Why?" Elsa said her eyes narrowing.

"For the ball tonight."

"What ball?"

"The ball that has you and Jack announcing that you are dating and going to get married."

"I thought we were waiting on that front."

"Well it just ties in nicely with the ball idea."

That night, Elsa found herself wearing a beautiful dress that had all kinds of different shades of blue as the colour of the dress. Jack was next to her wearing a matching blue navy uniform. He looked nervous.

"Don't forget the amulet," Elsa whispered.

Jack opened the drawer of Elsa's dresser and pulled it out before he draped it around his neck and tucking it underneath his outfit.

"Nervous?" Elsa asked.

"A bit," Jack replied.

He bent down and gave Elsa a small kiss. They broke apart with them smiling.

"Well here we go," Elsa said.

Jack and Elsa excited their bedroom and walked down the hallway, arm in arm, and paused outside the door to the ballroom. Elsa took a deep breath in before she and Jack pushed open the door. Everyone stopped whatever they were doing and paused to look at the couple that entered. Elsa held her head up high and walked up to her throne not daring to look at anyone. Anna and Kristoff were there. They were giving the couple encouraging smiles. When they got the throne, Elsa sat down on hers while Jack sat down next to her.

Everyone was now looking at them and Elsa looked back. She could see the stares of everyone on her. She could see their eyes flicking back and forward between the two of them and then it clicked with everyone. Suddenly everyone then realised the real reason why it was Jack not Fredrik who was sitting next to her. Elsa could see the truth dawning on her citizens right then and there. Elsa decided to clear a few things up. She stood up and she could feel the eyes of every person in the room on her. Elsa cleared her throat and addressed what she thought to be nearly the entire of Arendelle.

"I believe that not just everyone in this room, but everyone else who isn't present is wondering why I ran out on my wedding a few weeks ago. The simple truth is that I did not love Fredrik and I, like my sister, believe in marrying for love rather than it being simply a convenience marriage. Fredrik and I would not have had a happy marriage, I can promise you that. Instead I fell in love with one of the best men I have ever met. His name is Jack Frost and he is with us tonight."

Elsa, and everyone else, turned to look at Jack who suddenly grew nervous. Elsa continued with her speech.

"I hope that you all can give him a warm welcome and invite him into our Arednelle family just like you have done with my sister's husband, Kristoff."

Kristoff grew red at the sound of his name. Elsa continued.

"I have just one more thing to announce. Jack and I are engaged. So you will get that royal wedding this time and I will promise you that I will not run out on it. I love Jack and he loves me. Thank you."

There was a pause before some people, including Anna and Kristoff, started clapping. Soon there was a mountainous applause in the room.

"I think a dance is in order," Elsa called over the noise.

The music started. Jack got to his feet and offered his and to Elsa who took it. She and Jack made their way onto the ballroom floor and then the music started. Elsa and Jack danced and danced, gazing into each other's eyes. Soon they weren't alone on the dance floor, Kristoff had lead Anna onto the floor and they too started dancing. It was long before the two royal couples weren't the only ones. Soon everyone else was as well.

The ball was a ginormous success. When Elsa and Jack had sat back down, everyone was coming up to them and congratulating them. Elsa and Jack thanked them and then they walked off to congratulate Anna and Kristoff on their new baby. The end of the night came and Jack and Elsa made their way back to their room, exhausted. Elsa collapsed on her bed.

"You're not too tired are you?" Jack asked.

Elsa smiled and shook her head. Jack jumped on top of her and gave her a kiss.

"What was it you wanted to ask me?" he asked.

"I was just wondering if you wanted to participate in a little event Anna and I had set up tomorrow."

"What is that?" Jack said sounding excited.

"You'll have to wait and see."

Jack grinned and kissed her again.

Anna was being carried by Kristoff back to their bedroom. She had danced a little too much and was very tired.

"Thank you honey," Anna said when Kristoff kicked their bedroom door open.

"Looks like tonight was a success," Kristoff whispered as he placed her onto their bed and giving her a kiss.

"Yeah it was," Anna said grinning. "Phase one complete. Tomorrow, phase two!"

Jack awoke the next day feeling a little excited. Elsa had hinted at needing him for something special and he really wanted to know what it was. He was debating whether or not to wake up Elsa but he knew that if he wanted to get onto her good side, he should not do that. Instead he just cuddled up to her and went back to sleep.

Elsa and Jack headed outside the castle after breakfast that morning. Elsa could feel the excitement radiating off Jack. She chuckled and smiled to herself. They were about to do the next part of Anna's plan. Granted, Elsa had zero clue that Anna had been planning a ball but the next part of the plan was her idea.

They soon came to the main town square where there were a lot of people. When people saw them, they pointed, cheered and called out to them.

"I guess we're popular," Jack muttered in Elsa's ear.

Elsa gave a small laugh before turning to the crowd of people that had gathered around them.

"Today, I have a special surprise for you all," Elsa called out and then turned to Jack. "In honour of my future husband."

Elsa beamed around at everyone and they all beamed back.

"So I declare this day Snow Day!" Elsa said causing snow to fall and land softly on the ground.

Everyone started scooping up the snow and throwing snowballs at random people who threw snowballs back. Elsa felt one snowball smack against her face. She turned around and saw Jack whistling innocently while he was rocking back and forward on his feet.

"You are dead Frost!" Elsa said throwing a snowball at him.

The snowball landed with a satisfying smack in the middle of his face. Elsa roared which laugher which stopped when a snowball landed in the middle of her face. Elsa and then Jack declared war on each other and started firing snowballs at each other while they were both laughing at the other's misfortune.

After a furious snowball fight that ended with Elsa's victory, they hung back and looked at everyone. Children had now joined in and Jack was helping them build an army of snowmen. Olaf was having fun chatting and talking to them even though he knew they couldn't respond as they weren't magical.

"Hey," Elsa turned around and saw Anna. She had finally decided to join them.

"Hey," Elsa replied turning back to the crowd.

They both stared at Olaf for a moment before Anna spoke.

"You know he could see Jack before we could," she said.

Elsa quickly turned around in surprised.

"Really?" Elsa said.

Anna nodded.

"That's strange, he never mentioned it," Elsa muttered.

"He did to me," a smaller voice said.

Elsa looked down and saw her little nephew pushing the baby carriage that had his little baby sister fast asleep in it.

"What did he tell you Josef?" Anna asked kneeling down.

"He just asked who Elsa's new friend was," Josef shrugged. "I always imagined him to be Jack Frost since I noticed him using ice powers one day and he even has the same name."

Anna stared at her son in amazement. "You knew all along? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Olaf said that he overheard Aunt Elsa and him discussing their relationship needing to be a secret. So I didn't tell. I wanted it to by secret too."

Anna continued to stare in amazement at her son.

"So is he the real Jack Frost? The one from the fairy tale?" Josef asked eagerly.

"Yes Josef, he is," Elsa said also kneeling down, "but that's got to be our little secret for the time being, okay?"

"Okay, I like being a secret keeper," Josef said literally bouncing with happiness.

"Only this time no more secrets from mama or papa, promise?" Anna said.

"Okay, promise!"

Josef then run off to be with his friends who were playing with Jack. Elsa just shook her head. She couldn't believe it.

"I can't believe we missed that," Elsa said.

"Well he is a little kid," Anna said reasonably. "Didn't you say that is mostly kids that see Guardians rather than adults?"

"Yeah, I did."

The rest of the day pasted in a haze but Elsa had thoroughly enjoyed herself. She soon made her way back to her room and collapsed from tiredness once again on her bed. Jack followed suit.

"Man today was fun," he said.

"Yeah it was," Elsa grinned.

Phase two looked like it was a success, Elsa thought before turning over and going to sleep.
