Anna was helping decorate the towering Christmas tree in the throne room. Anna stared at her reflection in a silver bobble laughing at her rounded face before hanging it on one of the branches. Flynn, Kristoff and Jack were trying to untangle a clump of fairy lights.

Suddenly Elsa entered the hall, grinning. Mrs. Bentson and her family including Elena had just arrived from England and Elsa had made plans for the Bentsons to visit on Christmas Eve for the dinner Elsa was hosting at the palace. Elsa had promised Elena she would make her look like a proper princess and she had agreed to speak to her own dressmaker to design a party dress fit for royalty.

"Hey Elsa!" Anna shouted as she saw her sister approaching from the reflection in her bobble. Punzie and Merida had gone Christmas shopping in the morning and Anna and Elsa had planned their Christmas shopping later that evening. Jack was still holding a tangled set of fairy lights and Flynn and Hiccup were busy untangling pieces and spreading them across the branches. He gave Elsa a look of desperation. Elsa approached him laughing. She wanted to spill the beans but she didn't want to ruin the surprise she had planned for the following day.

"Hey" he grunted and as she leaned in to give him a soft kiss on the cheek he whispered. "If only I could fly and get this thing over and done with" he said.

"True, Anna and I are going shopping," she said.

Jack winced, "That means you're leaving me alone with these two again?" he shouted in mock protest.

"Yep," she giggled and Anna signaled for her to indicate it was time.

-XX-

"So what are you getting Jack?" Anna sighed, they had been touring through the mall for an hour and Elsa hadn't yet picked a gift for Jack. Elsa ran a hand through her wig and grimaced. "I got Kristoff a hoodie and a PlayStation 4 game," she said in a sing song voice swinging the bag containing Kristoff's already wrapped gifts in it.

Elsa and Anna ventured through the mall until Elsa's was struck by a watch in a jeweler's shop window. It had a brilliant sapphire blue dial with chronograph functions. It was stainless steel and it looked masculine. Elsa glanced at the price, it was expensive but she didn't care. Jack deserved only the best, he was her rock and had proved himself worthy throughout the past months even when she wasn't herself. She grimaced at the memory as she made her way into the shop. She asked the shop assistant for the watch and soon enough she had purchased it. She made her way to Anna contented with the watch, who was happily browsing through the clothes rack in a nearby store.

"Finally!" Anna screamed, peering in Elsa's bag only to find an already wrapped gift greeting her. Little did Anna know that Elsa had also selected two pearl drop earring for her sister, a bangle for Merida and a Swarovski bracelet for Punzie along with three sets of cufflinks for the boys including Jack. Elsa had hid the rest of the presents in her large shopper and after waiting patiently for Anna to select a purple shimmery dress for Christmas Eve, they finally exited the mall and made it home just in time for dinner.

-XX-

"Did you manage to raid the whole mall?" Flynn asked Elsa as she pulled her wig off and tossed the fake specs in her bag for future use.

"It was Anna." Elsa said, eyeing her sister who was talking to Merida and Punzie rather excitedly. Everyone but Jack was already seated and waiting for dinner.

"Where's Jack?" Hiccup suggested while holding a staring contest with Merida. Right at that moment Merida blinked and the dining hall collapsed with laughter.

"I'm going to go find him," Elsa said, rising from her chair and exiting the dining room with a quick pace. First she checked Jack's room, only to find he was not there. She panicked at first as a hundred possibilities raided the far corners of her brain. Finally she descended the steps which led to the gardens and sure enough Jack was there, staring straight ahead at the moonlight. Miniscule snowflakes where falling straight down on him. He was whispering out loud to himself, Elsa crouched behind some nearby bushes to hear what Jack had to say as he had captivated her by his peacefulness. It was dreamy…wait he was dreamy. Elsa mentally slapped herself for thinking her boyfriend was dreamy…she loved the way his white hair glistened in the moonlight and his handsome chiseled jaw line. "Ugh I'm so stupid," Elsa grimaced at her thought.

"I wonder where my sister is." Jack said in a loud voice suddenly, awaking Elsa from her dream state.

Elsa grinned, she wished she could just tell Jack all about her plan. She wasn't used to having a plan and not sharing it with anyone.

"But I'm thankful. I've got a beautiful girlfriend…my sister would definitely love. If only she could meet her." He sighed.

Suddenly Elsa decided to make an entrance. She quickly formed a snowball in her hand and mischievously tossed it at Jack.

Jack turned hurriedly, "Elsa?" he laughed. "Are you seriously calling a competition with the ice master," he said, pointing at himself.

Elsa rushed towards him and embraced him. "Miss me?" he smirked, glancing down at Elsa's blonde head buried in his hoodie. She nodded and hugged him tighter, tears threatening to exit her eyes. She felt lucky and wanted to keep Jack in her grasp. Suddenly they were interrupted.

"Enough PDA from you two!" shouted Hiccup, "Food is served," he grinned and rushed to tell the rest what he had seen. Jack and Elsa had immediately untangled themselves from their embrace and made their way laughing back into the palace. The group talked about Christmas whilst they ate, Anna begging Kristoff to show her the present he had bought for her and mistakenly had placed underneath the tree. Kristoff didn't budge though, "You'll have to wait until tonight," he chuckled and Anna pretended to sob onto Merida's shoulder.

After a delicious apple turnover with a cinnamon ice cream on the side, the group retired to the bedroom quarters. Jack hugged Elsa tightly and Hiccup and Merida watched the rest of the group bid farewells to each other awkwardly awaiting the situation to fade by into history.

Suddenly Anna shouted, "Just hug Merida already Hiccup!" she said winking at a now neon red Merida whose cheeks where redder than her curly locks. The group started laughing as Hiccup swallowed and made his way to Merida. He hugged her tightly and she returned the favour by planting a kiss on his cheek much to Hiccup's delight.

Elsa, Anna, Merida and Punzie where in Elsa's suite getting ready for the special Christmas Eve dinner. It was going to be a private function however the girls were overly excited for their gifts even none except Anna acclaimed so. Punzie was trying to tame Merida's unruly hair into a half-up, half- down hairstyle. She had used three packets of booby pins yet it couldn't stay. "Punz…let it be," Merida sighed, glancing at Punzie wrestling against her curls.

"Fine," Punzie breathed as she gave up and tossed the pins in the bin. "Useless," she muttered angrily. Elsa was helping Anna fasten the zip of the purple dress and Elsa had already got into a pale blue gown decorated with tiny sparkling snowflakes.

"Everyone done?" she called as she opened the door. By the noise downstairs she knew the boys were ready. Punzie quickly sprayed some cologne over everyone and soon the girls tumbled out of the suite, grinning.

"Hey girls! Present time!" Kristoff said, grabbing Anna's hand and leading her to the tree. The boys were looking smart in suits and Anna was quick to complement them all. Soon enough gift wrapper papers carpeted the ground. Jack grabbed his gift and Elsa hers and they moved outside quietly to the gazebo, unnoticed.

"Happy Christmas Jack," Elsa smiled handing her gifts to Jack. Jack hesitated, glancing at his own rather small gift which he handed weakly to Elsa. Mentally he sighed, "I could've got her something better…she's a queen…but then again…where could've I got the money." He thought, glancing at the snowflake decorated wrapper.

"Open it, you first," Elsa grinned after thanking Jack for her own gift.

Jack tore the wrapper and it revealed a pair of amethyst cufflinks. "Elsa!" he began to protest but Elsa shushed him, signaling for him to open the next gift. It was a watch!

"Elsa I've been eyeing this watch for years! My father used to have one," he cried embracing her.

"It looks good on you," Elsa complemented as she opened her gift. It was a beautiful dainty Swarovski necklace and bracelet set decorated with snowflake charms. "I love it," she gasped as Jack clasped the necklace. Jack leaned in and kissed her on the lips. "Happy Christmas El," he mumbled and together they walked back inside, Elsa holding a blind fold tightly in her hand.

'Well it's not over yet," she shouted to the rest who were starting to head to the dining room. Punzie hooked her arm around Flynn and the rest turned to watch as Elsa fished her blind fold and tightened it around Jack's eyes.

"What's this for?" he protested.

"You cannot look," Elsa teased.

Suddenly a brown haired girl, paraded in the throne room grinning as she saw Jack. She walked carefully towards Jack, the room silent and her parents watched lovingly. Elsa began to remove Jack's blind-fold tears rolling down her cheeks. Jack glanced at Elsa. "Turn around," Elsa whispered. Jack turned to meet a tearful Elena. He gasped, awestruck. So many emotions tumbled in, he reached out for Elsa for support.

"My names Elena…" Elena supplied hopefully, glancing at her brother.

"Sister," he whispered, embracing Elena tightly, tears streaming down his face.

"I thought I'd never see you again." He whispered.

"Me too," she breathed, tears of joy glistening her cheeks.

Hope you loved it! It's not over yet! Leave a review!
