"ELSA IT'S CHRISTMAS, ELSA IT'S CHRISTMAS, ELSA IT'S CHRISTMAS! WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP!" Guide was bouncing up and down on top of Elsa who was lying in bed.
Elsa groaned then looked at the clock. "Guide it's not Christmas, it's Christmas eve and it's...mmm.. Four o clock in the morning." Elsa said rolling over.
Guide stopped bouncing and frowned. She grabbed Elsa's face and mushed her cheeks together.
"But Elsa we have to prepare for Christmas."
"Nu wi du nut. Go buc tu sweup." Elsa tried to say with her cheeks squished together.
Guide let go of her cheeks. "But I can't
sleep. Besides Anna said if the sky is awake then we'll be awake and the sky is awake. It's snowing!"
Elsa sighed and looked to the window. The snowflakes danced across the night sky. She knew she wasn't going to be able to go back to sleep with Guide so excited.
"Alright, alright." she said giving in. "We can go into the kitchen and make Christmas cookies for Julenissen."
"Yeah, yeah let's do that!" Guide got up and zoomed out the room without putting anything on besides her oversized blue night shirt and shorts. Elsa got up slowly, and put on a robe over her long they got to kitchens Elsa shushed Guide, and replaced her robe with an apron. She turned to put on an apron for Guide but she was so excited Elsa gave up trying to keep her still.
"Okay let's get started." Elsa couldn't cook to save her country but she knew how to bake cookies from her mother's recipe that she remembered.
Elsa took out the ingredients put them on the counter and began measuring. Guide stood on her toes to see what she was doing, Guide grabbed a spoon and put it in her mouth, and she always loved the way it felt against her tongue.
Elsa picked it up and almost used it then she saw Guide pick up another spoon and do the same.
She looked at the spoon then back at Guide, then at the spoon. She grimaced and placed it aside. She mixed the pepper mint, pumpkin, and chocolate together, Guide stuck her finger in then tasted it.
"Mmmmm." she hummed.
Elsa copied her, then she put her finger back in and put a dab on Guide's nose.
Guide's eyes crossed and she tried to lick it unsuccessfully. Elsa giggled then kissed her nose licking up the batter.
"I need flour." she said to herself.
Guide looked on the shelf and saw a bag of flour. She climbed onto the counter then the shelf and grabbed the bag.
Elsa looked around with an empty bowl in her arms, okay now she lost a bag of flour and a certain little snowbug.
"Found the flour" Elsa looked around hearing Guide's voice and walked right under her. She looked up but it was too late.
Guide poured the flour all over Elsa trying to get it in the bowl.
"GUIDE!" she shrieked.
Guide got down and Elsa blew out a gust of air making flour puff out.
Guide began chuckling pointing at Elsa. "You look like a snowman." she was gasping for air.
"Oh yeah?" Elsa squinted her eyes.
She lifted the bowl and poured it all on Guide.
Guide wiped her eyes then laughed. "Now I'm a snowman!"
Elsa bent over."Nooo... You-" She kissed Guide's forehead. "are." she kissed her nose. "My." she kissed her cheek. "Snowbug" She went for Guide's lips. They exchanged flour in a deep kiss. Elsa ignored her plan, for the moment.
She pulled away. Then they shaped the cookies and baked them.
Guide and Elsa put the cookies aside and went back to bed. Elsa had successfully worn out Guide who jumped into the bed and fell asleep on Elsa's stomach.
Everyone later that morning were extremely busy. Anna, Kristoff, and Sven were hunting around for tinsel, holly, and pine bushels, Rapunzel since she was the most amazing cook was helping Gerda in the kitchens with Didiér, Eugene, and Rahel were setting up scented candles everywhere. Guide, Elsa, and Brynjarr were decorating around the castle. They saved decorating the tree for tonight, so everyone could participate.
Never had the ability of bending winter to your will had come in handy so much.
"Guide." Elsa called from decorating the upper floor with frosted snowflakes.
"Yes Elsa!" Guide called from below.
"Could you spread the holly over the banisters please?" She asked looking down.
Guide looked at the banisters then got a good idea. "Sure thing Elsa."
She grabbed the long vine of green holly and went to the top of the stairs, she sat backwards on the banister and pushed back, as she was sliding down she weaved the holly through the banisters' balusters, when she made it to the bottom of the stairs she tied the holly in a bow knot and copied the same for its twin.
She walked over to Brynjarr who was hanging a reef over a wooden hall table.
"Good idea for the banisters." Brynjarr said tenderly.
"Thanks. Nice reef hanging." Guide complemented.
"Thank you." he stared Guide down in uncomfortable silence. She shifted then walked off, Brynjarr stared after her.
Guide was walking with a train of tinsel behind her when she sniffed the air, something smelt delicious.
She followed the scent to the kitchens.
Then she saw a long counter topped with a plethora of foods. They all looked as good as they smelled. Guide's mouth watered. She reached up her hand to grab a sugared plum but something smacked her hand leaving a nasty sting as well as a red mark on the back of it.
"OW!" Guide rubbed her hand then looked up at the offender it was Rapunzel with a spatula raised and ready to strike again.
"Serves you right, no touching until tonight. Now get out of the kitchen. Shoo!" Rapunzel grabbed a frying pan and chased Guide out of the kitchen. Guide remembered Eugene's stories about the famous frying pan and did the smart thing and ran away.
She found Rahel who was lighting a candle in a window. "Hi Rahel whatcha doing?" Guide walked up to her.
"Hmm oh lighting these candles Anna gave me they smell really good here smell." she lifted a candle to Guide's nose who sniffed.
"It smells like...good." Guide improvised she didn't know what it was called.
Rahel laughed. "It's rum raisin." her smile disappeared. She knew what she had to do. Akì was pressuring her every day, but she couldn't, not even to return back home.
"Guide..." she started.
"Yeah?" Guide answered still smelling the candle.
Rahel turned to her and smiled. "Thank you for being such a good friend."
Guide returned her smile. "No problem."
Anna found Guide with Rahel. "Rahel do you mind if I borrow Guide from you?"
"No not at all." Rahel walked to the next window lighting another candle.
"What is it Anna?" Anna grabbed Guide's hand and led her to the library.
"Guide I got a fantastic idea for tonight. But we need for you to be prepared okay." Anna whispered looking around.
"Alright what do I have to do?" Guide asked. Anna went over her idea and got Guide ready.
Everyone finished their chores and went to get ready in their rooms.
Anna had already set aside her and Kristoff's clothes. For Kristoff he had a green mountain suit, and for herself she had a green dress that had red sleeves and a red sash, she tied her hair up in a candy cane patterned bow.
Rapunzel was getting Conner dressed with difficulty in blue suit, for herself she was going to wear a pink dress with a front lace, that had peppermint green laces, her sleeves matched the color. Eugene put on a black suit with green trimmings on the cuffs and collar.
Brynjarr put on his father's suit of dark brown. Rahel decided to wear a green skirt and shirt with a red vest.
Gerda wanted to surprise Elsa so she dressed Guide in a separate room. Gerda wanted that special blue color that only Guide could make, she instructed Guide carefully on how to design her clothes, Guide was nervous this was the first time she ever made clothing this complicated. Guide made a sweater that was periwinkle and had white snowflakes wrapping around the middle in a pattern, each snowflake was different. The neck of the sweater had a white line going around it, and the cuffs and neck Gerda lined with a soft white wool from the lambs of the castle stables.
Guide made light mystery blue dress pants that had the same snowflake design as the sweater going up the outer length of the legs. Her shoes were baby blue and shined when the light touched them and her white socks had little snowmen on them. Instead of slicking her hair back Gerda put the locks in large soft, bouncy curls then tied them up in a big baby blue bow in the back of her head. Guide put on the collar Elsa made for her just for the occasion. It was blue and white in a candy cane design and had a big blue crocus on the side with a blue and white striped button in the middle.
"You look so adorable and charming." Gerda complimented. Then touched up the outfit a little more.
Elsa wanted to do nothing but amaze Guide tonight. She decided to not make a dress instead she had one made already.
The dress resembled Julenissen's suit in a way. It had long white and fluffy drape like sleeves attached to a red robe dress that left a train behind it. All of the trimmings were white and matched the sleeves. Underneath the robe dress was a surprise for Guide that she had planned feeling adventurous.
Guide had never seen Elsa in red before, but after seeing her enter the family lounge she wished Elsa wasn't wearing anything at all with little knowledge that Elsa was thinking the exact same thing of her.
The rest of the family entered and Kristoff brought Sven inside. There was a joyful buzz in the air as everyone anticipated what the night would bring.
