AN: As you may have noticed by now, this story updates every day… so far. The idea is that I won't start posting a "book" of Princess Party until I have that book completed. Thus, when Book One is over, once we've finished with the 25 days of consistent updating… it'll be a while before more chapters start coming out. But then once I've finished writing Book Two, the daily updates will resume.

And by that point, yeah, it'll be listed as a Disney fanfic. My original idea was to post each installment in a different category—first Tangled/Brave, then Frozen/Moana, then running through every possible combination… but, no, I want people to actually be able to find this. So… yeah. Disney it is.

Day 7, Part 1

"Maybe we should have let him in on this plan a little earlier," Anna admitted. "I only gave him a few seconds to, like, process what was going to happen before I got all up on him… he had no warning. It's kind of sad. My face was, I'm sure, like… bliss." She showed Rapunzel an expression with half-closed eyes, a slack jaw, and tongue lolling out.

"That is a very good impression of bliss," Rapunzel laughed.

"I know, right?" said Anna. "While his face was kinda like… terror! He wasn't ready for this. Oh, but it was so good. So good. I think it was good for him. Not sure. We definitely need practice, though. Ah, here it is." She pulled a small, pristine woolen pad out of the top drawer of her dresser. "Ah, there we go! I don't think I've ever grabbed one of these in time. It's thanks to you that I know it's due today! Just a moment…" She ducked into her closet and closed the door.

"Well, hey, don't start practicing right away," Rapunzel said through the closet door. "Give yourselves another month to plan, to talk a bit about what you'd both like from it."

"Okay!" Anna said brightly.

"Can I get some more details?" Rapunzel asked.

"Well… he didn't know what to do with his hands," Anna said thoughtfully. "Neither did I, really, I just kinda held them stiff at my sides. Hee hee… I feel bad for laughing about these things, because they must be so embarrassing for him, but, you know, I can't help it, because they're cute and adorable and… sincere! So I'm not laughing at him…"

"Of course," said Rapunzel, smiling.

Anna emerged from the closet, giggling. "Eeeee, I just feel so alive!"

"I know the feeling," said Rapunzel. "I'm so proud of you, cousin. You did it."

~0~0~0~

On their way to breakfast, they passed several guards, posted around the castle's halls. As had become customary over the course of the week, there were a handful of Corona and DunBroch uniforms among the many soldiers of Arendelle.

"Hmm," Anna remarked, her voice low. "You know, Corona soldiers are a lot sexier than Arendelle soldiers."

"What, all of them?" said Rapunzel. "Oh, no they're not…"

"I dunno, they certainly seem that way," Anna said seriously. "I think it's your cool helmets that do it. The Arendelle uniform is topped by a funny hat, that's the problem, that kind of kills all the sex appeal of a man in uniform. Just my opinion."

"Eh… yeah, that checks out, I guess," said Rapunzel. "It's a pretty silly hat. Maybe my guards are sexier than yours."

"Maybe I can change the uniform," Anna pondered. "I probably have that authority. I should. It's not scary or sexy. Soldiers should be both of those things. Not so goofy…"

"Hey," said Elsa, her path meeting theirs on their way to the dining hall. "What are you two giggling about?"

"We weren't giggling," Anna said blankly.

"You two are always giggling about something," said Elsa, chuckling. "It was a safe guess."

"We'll tell you in a minute," said Anna. "Let's talk about you! How are things going with your girlfriend?"

"Keep your voice down!" Elsa hissed. "I'm still not ready to go public with this. I need to pick a moment to formally announce it to the kingdom. Probably after the delegations leave…" She sighed. "They're good. Things are good. She's quite nice… she's been bringing me lots of candy and flowers that have just brightened my day every time… I don't think she's been paying for them, but for some reason I find that attractive."

"Thievery is hot," Rapunzel said simply. "Well-known fact. I can testify to it." She reached for her crown and tilted it atop her head.

"She's been telling me about her past," Elsa continued. "Apparently she turned her mother into a bear and just barely made the two-day deadline to change her back. Kind of makes me feel better about my big magical screw-up."

"Yours was a lot more spectacular than just a bear," Anna said solemnly. She gasped. "Wrists! I could go like this… and he could hold my wrists. That's what we can do with our hands…"

"That is a timeless classic," Rapunzel said appreciatively.

"Well, that was easy," Anna said with deep satisfaction. "Ooh, next month is gonna be fantastic… I'm gonna get so many ideas… sorry, Elsa, back to you."

Elsa blinked at her in confusion. "…What the hell was that?"

"Nothing, nothing," Anna said quickly. "I'll tell you in a minute. Back to you."

The three of them entered the dining hall together; with the banquet over, it now contained several rows of tables, with one perpendicular to all the others serving as the head of the room. Elsa aimed for the seat at the very center of the high table.

"Well," she was saying, "it's been… yeah, it's really been wonderful, honestly. We've been talking a lot, bonding… kissing a lot… and, you know what the strangest thing of all is? She seldom takes her hand off my butt. Whenever we're together, she's always squeezing it, rubbing it, it's so… it's weird. We're very intimate in general, lots of gentle touching all over, but for whatever reason she just really loves my butt." She piled her plate with scrambled eggs from a heated pot.

"Well, come on, Elsa," said Rapunzel, she and Anna taking seats to Elsa's right, "surely you know that you've got an amazing figure."

"Well… sure," Elsa said, looking down at her own chest. "I mean, I know I have a nice rack. She gives that a lot of attention too, and I completely sympathize, but why my butt? I don't get it."

Anna leaned back to get a look at Elsa's rear. "Yeah, neither do I," she said. "If I was into ladies, I'd be more interested in something like… Rapunzel's butt. Now that is a cute butt."

"Aw, thank you!" Rapunzel chirped. A servant, setting a tray of sizzling bacon on the table in front of them, gave the three of them an odd look. "Yeah, that's right," said Rapunzel, "just a bunch of royals, hanging around, talking about cute butts. Move it right along, nothing to see here."

As the servant strode back to the kitchens, Rapunzel addressed Elsa. "Well, let me ask you this… do you make those dresses that you wear?"

"In a sense, yeah," said Elsa. "Not by hand or anything, I just kind of make them appear."

"Sure," said Rapunzel, nodding. "And I assume you're aware of how… provocative they can be?"

"Uh… sure, yeah," Elsa admitted. "I make them like this to… they represent independence. Emancipation, if you will. Although I do have to keep them this thin because… well, any fabric thicker than this made out of ice, it's just super-impractical, can't even walk in it."

"Well, I completely understand why your girlfriend can't keep her hands off you," Rapunzel said with a grin. "You're a very sexy woman, Elsa."

"I try to be," Elsa said earnestly. "Just for myself, that is. Makes me feel good. I never imagined that there would be anyone I wanted to be sexy for… but now there is."

"Nothin' wrong with that, cousin," Rapunzel said. "Nothin' wrong with that."

Anna gnawed on a piece of bacon, deep in thought. "So, here's a question," she said. "With all this intimate touching going on, would you say you're still a virgin?"

Elsa flinched. "Um… well… yeah. There's been making out and butt touches and sometimes she touches my boobs, but we've never touched each other… there… so… I would say so. Virgin. She's not, incidentally, if that's what you were wondering… she has quite a bit of experience with women…"

"No, no, I know that part," Anna said eagerly. "So, you are?"

"Yeah."

"Okay. I just wanted to let you know that… that I am so not a virgin." She broke out in hysterical laughter, rolling around in her chair.

"You didn't," said Elsa, stunned.

"I did!" Anna said gleefully. "Turned in my badge last night. Kristoff and I totally did it out of wedlock. And next month, we're going to do it again. Still won't be married then. Eh… no word yet on whether we'll be married the month after that, but we will definitely be doing it. Haha, I feel so nasty! Woot!"

Elsa blinked, several times, very slowly. "I just… oh my gosh, I can't even… even process this. You… you had sex? You're not… not a virgin anymore?"

"I'm afraid not," Anna said gently, reaching out and touching Elsa's hand.

"That's just… wow," Elsa breathed. "So… gosh… what is it like to be with a—never mind, don't answer that. Why do I need to know? I'm gay."

"Yeah y'are!" Anna said cheerfully.

"Hmm… what am I gonna do with Merida?" Elsa wondered, staring up at the ceiling. "What do two women do in bed together?"

"I think it's like… like foreplay…" Rapunzel cut in. "Only that's the whole thing."

"Right!" said Elsa, inspired. "Oh, that sounds really good, actually. Yeah, it sounds really, really good…" She turned to Anna, whose eyes were bulging with glee alongside an impossibly massive grin. "Reign it in, would you?" Elsa exclaimed. "I'm not going to bed with Merida anytime soon. Jesus Christ, Anna, that's the scariest thing I've ever seen."

Anna got to her feet, pushing her chair back with a loud scrape, still grinning manically. "I'm sorry, Elsa. I'm just so thrilled about all the joys you—Merida!" She had spotted Merida entering the dining hall, and squealed in glee, racing around the table and rushing to meet her. "Hi!" Anna chirped.

"Good morning, lass," said Merida. "If it were at all possible for you to be peppier than usual… I take it you did the deed?"

"I did!" Anna squealed. "It was so great! So, Merida, let's get real… my secret's totally out, at least among the people I really care about. When are you gonna tell Elsa that you love her?"

Merida beamed and touched Anna's face gently. "In time, lass. I've just got to find the right moment."

Anna responded in kind, cupping Merida's face in both of her hands. "Yeah, I… I guess it's best to take your time. But I'm so nuts about you two. I wouldn't be at all surprised if she loves you too."

"Even after your experience with things moving too fast?" said Merida.

"If it's not too early for butt squeezes, I'm sure love is just around the corner," said Anna.

"That's a weird sentence," said a voice behind Anna. "But, accurate."

Anna felt a hand squeeze her own bottom, and leapt in surprise, spinning in midair with a delighted shriek, seeing Kristoff just behind her. She instantly threw herself on him, hugging him.

"Anna," he said gently. "I didn't get a chance last night, to tell you… well, to tell you… just, wow. Just how great it was."

"Really?" she said in delight. "I thought you were scared."

"Uh… heh… well, I was," he said, chuckling. "I've always been scared of you, Anna. But you've got a powerful way of… making me want what you want."

"Scared of me?"

"You scare the hell out of me, baby." He wrapped one arm around her, placing that hand over her heart. She reached up with both of her hands to grasp it. "Being involved with someone so very, very recklessly impulsive… it's made me a better man."

"I've never needed a better man," she gushed. "I've just needed you. A good man." Her voice suddenly turned throaty and sultry. "And what… a… man."

He chuckled.

As Kristoff and Anna conversed, Merida had made her way to the head table, sitting on Elsa's right. Rapunzel, seeing Elsa shoot Merida a look she couldn't see, and Merida responding with a look of concern and surprise, stepped away from the table and slowly edged toward Anna and Kristoff.

"What's the matter, darling?" Merida whispered.

"Well, they did it," Elsa told her numbly. "She slept with Kristoff."

"Aye, she told me," Merida said grimly. "That must be a bit of a shock. Baby sister punched her card before you did, eh? That's a tragedy."

"That's not what bothers me."

"I hope not, 'cause there's an easy remedy for it sittin' right here," Merida said innocently.

In spite of herself, Elsa giggled. "Will you back off?" She leaned in close to Merida to be sure no one else could hear. "I will bring you to bed when I am good and ready, sweetheart, and you will know when I'm good and ready, and it'll be the best moment of your life."

"I don't doubt it," Merida said smugly. "Just for the record, I am ready whenever you are."

"I know," said Elsa, smirking. "I can tell from the way you salivate, you heartless sex hound."

"Hee hee!"

"But anyway…" said Elsa, gazing over at Anna again. "Yeah. It's true. My baby sister's not a virgin anymore. It boggles the mind."

"Surely you've been expectin' this?" Merida inquired.

"Well… I guess… yeah," Elsa muttered. "They've been together for ages, it's practically an Arendelle scandal that they aren't married by now. And I know there was all that talk about Rapunzel teaching her about sex… somehow it never occurred to me that it was coaching to actually do it. It wouldn't have, really. She was, obviously… spooked pretty badly by her first relationship. I thought it was brave of her to even consider becoming a couple with Kristoff so soon after those events." She sighed. "I missed so much of her life, Merida."

"You are here now," Merida said tenderly. "You're gonna be here for all the important parts, I reckon."

"I'm not upset," said Elsa, picking at her food. "This has been a long time coming. I'm happy for her… especially that she wanted me to know. It would have been so easy to keep it a secret, but… she told me."

She looked up at Anna yet again, chatting and laughing with Rapunzel as Kristoff and Eugene, who had entered the room at some point, looked upon them fondly.

"I love my sister," Elsa said, almost tonelessly. "Her safety and happiness are about ten times more important to me than my own. I just wish she needed me, you know? I wish things had been different." She looked down. She was crying, but her face remained straight and stoic, stiff-lipped.

"That girl needs you, lass," said Merida. "She needs you so badly. She spent her entire life knocking at your door… because she needed you."

"Then why did she scheme and prepare for this moment with Rapunzel instead of me?" Elsa said, fighting back a sob. "My adorable, sweet, quirky, bubble-headed, virginal baby sister is…"

"Babe…" said Merida. "Elsa… she's still the same person. She just cut back on the 'virginal'. She's still got all the… rest…"

Before Merida was finished, Elsa had vaulted over the head table and crossed the room, skating across ice for speed, and hugged Anna tightly.

"I didn't congratulate you properly," said Elsa, barely able to make her voice audible. "Congratulations on this… this milestone in your life." She parted from Anna so they could look at each other, her makeup running with tears. "Why didn't you tell me you'd been planning this? Why did you go to Rapunzel for it?"

"I didn't go to her," said Anna, her own lip quivering from Elsa's display of emotion. "It was her idea."

"It's true," Rapunzel said hastily. "We… yeah. I suggested it the first night I was here."

Anna nodded. "And… well, I couldn't have asked you for advice, because you don't know anything about being with a man. And now we know that you never will."

"You could have at least told me it was something you were planning."

"I would have," said Anna. "I was never intentionally keeping it a secret. But then all of a sudden you had other things on your mind."

"Yeah," said Rapunzel. "Things like that gorgeous redhead over there who, even as we speak, is checking out your ass again."

Elsa turned to glare at Merida, who looked away casually. "Shouldn't you be used to it by now?" Elsa called across the room.

"Not a chance, your majesty," Merida called back.

Elsa turned back to Anna, calm now, and smiling. "Er… sorry for that nasty shock there," she said primly. "I just wanted to tell you I'm happy for you."

"Thanks, sis," said Anna. "Right back at you! Merida is so cool."

Beaming, Elsa kissed Anna on the cheek and returned to Merida's side, at a walking speed and taking the long way around the table this time.

"Apparently, the whole thing was Rapunzel's idea," Elsa mused. "Would you have guessed…?"

"Ahhhh," said Merida, nodding. "I might've, yeah. Rapunzel is a married woman, after all. I don't reckon she shares a bed with Eugene just to keep half the bed warm, yeah? Rapunzel knows stuff. And she can probably spot a woman who needs to get some."

"You think?" Elsa said absently.

Merida nodded. "From Anna's side, I also think her awesome new cousin is a novelty. Might have been more fun to get guidance from her than the familiar hand of her big sister."

Elsa poured herself a cup of coffee as she pondered Merida's words. "We're not… that familiar," she finally said.

"Oh, babe, come on," said Merida. "You've been walkin' around outside your room being the queen for nearly two years now. You and Anna aren't strangers anymore. Accept the change in that status quo, and, when it comes to the past of being shut out from her, just… let it go, babe."

Elsa winced. "Eww!" she said, revolted. "Never say that again!"

"Say what, 'let it go'?"

"Yeah. That was… you can't pull that off… uh, babe."

"Sorry," said Merida, clapping a hand on Elsa's shoulder. "The girl needs you. And… I need you."

"Thanks, Mer," Elsa said emotionally. "I need you too. I'm very happy you're a part of my life now."

"I intend to stay that way," Merida said sweetly.

Elsa smiled at her, then back at the others. "Hey… come with me."

This time she slipped underneath the table, and Merida followed suit. Elsa marched purposefully toward Anna and Rapunzel, unexpectedly pulling them both into a choking embrace.

"Eep!" Anna choked. "Again?"

"I… love… you… so… much," Elsa muttered, punctuating each word with a kiss to the top of Anna's head. "Group hug!"

"Yay!" said Merida, joining in. Anna and Rapunzel started laughing and adjusted themselves to fully participate in the group hug.

"Ahhh," Elsa said with satisfaction, stepping away from the hug. She turned toward Kristoff and hugged him as well. "Kristoff… let me tell you something. No one in the world deserves the gift you just received. It's the most valuable treasure in all of Arendelle. But I'm very glad it went to you."

"Wow," he muttered. "Gosh, I… thanks, Elsa." He hugged her back, only briefly.

"And you, Eugene…" said Elsa. "Thanks for being the guy who was there when I had to vent my little secret. If there's ever anything I can do for you…"

"Meh, don't worry about it, cousin," Eugene said, grinning and waving it away with his hand.

"Well, just keep it in mind," said Elsa, grinning back at him. "And… oh… hello, Queen Elinor."

Elinor had just come through the door, and bowed her head at Elsa's greeting. "Hello to you, Queen Elsa."

Elsa looked around at all of them. "Honestly? It's so wonderful to have you all here. Hey, you know what? It being Sunday and all… why don't we all hit the theatre? My treat. I haven't been in the longest time…"

AN: Oh, jeez, I left this spot blank for five whole hours. Well, I'm sure nobody saw it. When are you guys going to catch up so I have something to talk about…?
