Unknown Skies part 14
"I can't do this!" Sam exclaimed.
Elsa and Anna both looked at Sam with guilty expressions.
"I'm sorry Brother. But we can't hold off any longer. The Council and the People have to know. Everyone is getting suspicious about why you spend so much time here" Elsa replied.
Sam knew that Elsa was very right. But, in his opinion, he still wasn't ready to be announced as Prince of Arendelle yet.
"When is it going to be? I'll need some time to prepare" Sam asked.
Elsa took a moment to decide what she was going to say next. But it was Anna who spoke.
"You'll be announced as a Prince in two weeks."
Sam's eyes widened at the thought. To be honest, he thought he would drop down unconscious at that very moment, but fate stopped him from doing that.
"I'm going to need a lot of training. I have experience commanding a passenger jet on a commercial flight, running a kingdom, even if it is in a supporting role is quite another experience entirely" was what Sam managed to say next.
"Don't worry, Anna and I will help you every single step of the way." Elsa replied in a reassuring tone.
Sam just smiled at his two sisters.
And so began what Sam would refer to as "Two weeks of hell!"
Well not actually, Anna and Elsa, with help from Kristoff and the head servants of the castle, Kai and Gerda (Who had already been let in on the secret that Sam was a long lost brother of Elsa and Anna), tried to teach Sam everything he needed to know about being a prince. This was easier said than done as Sam was an airline pilot and had been training for that his whole life to obtain the skills needed, to fly a Passenger jet. Trying to learn everything a member of royalty needed to know in two weeks was like trying to get a young teenager to land an airliner. Possible but unbelievably difficult.
Dancing was the worst of all, and after a couple of steeping on feet incidents, Sam had decided that he wouldn't dance. Well, Sam could dance and very well, but his dancing was more suited to a nightclub than a royal ball.
Once another dancing lesson was finished, Sam had a rather irresponsible idea. Of course the rest of the Crew and all the Passengers from Flight 595 would come to the celebration of when Sam would be announced as Prince of Arendelle.
"Dan, I need to ask you something mate" Sam asked one day when the two friends met for their weekly maintenance check on Quebec Echo.
"What?" Dan asked curiously.
"Does your IPod dock still work?" Sam asked.
"I think it does. Why?" Dan replied.
Sam knew he had to be careful here as to not reveal the secret that he was a prince before it was time.
"Elsa and Anna have invited me to a party in a couple of days and you know I am a crap dancer. So I thought I could use the iPod dock and play modern music that I can dance to. The party guests I bet will like some of the tracks" He replied to Dan.
Dan thought for a moment before he said,
"Alright, I'll have the dock ready to roll"
Sam just smiled, everything was falling into place. He was sure that Elsa, Anna, the people of Arendelle and the dignitaries that would arrive for his announcement as Prince, would be pleasantly surprised at the Musical surprise that Sam had in store.
