Prompt: Elsa sneaks Bruni into Arendelle but then loses them and Bruni causes chaos


"Elsa."

"WH- OUCH!"

Elsa winced as she rubbed the top of her head that she had just knocked when standing up. She turned to her sister with a big fake smile.

"Heeeeey, Anna! What's up? How are you- How are you doing?" She said, nervously, pretending she was just casually hanging in the bedroom and holding her head with her elbow on the sheets.

Anna lifted an amused eyebrow. Elsa was terrible at lying, which was ironic for someone who hid the truth about her magic for more than 10 years and still had the mannerism to shut people away to protect them.

"What are you doing?" Smirked the Queen, even though she knew the answer already.

"Oh, I'm just… Just taking a quick nap before we go to the market." Lied Elsa, blushing.

"Really? Because it looks like you were looking for something under the bed."

Elsa gulped as her younger sister approached, and stood up to mask her action. "Not at all."

She startled when Anna put a hand on her shoulder. "Stop lying, you're blushing so hard I'm pretty sure your snow outfit will melt."

The sentence made Elsa blush even more.

Anna had a quick look under the bed, but saw nothing. She still wore the same smile when she stood up to look at her sister.

"I know you brought Bruni this time. Are you looking for him?"

"Wha- at? No, what are you-"

"Elsa."

"Maybe."

A silence passed. The Snow Queen stared down, ashamed, and looked like the younger one of the two. "How do you know?" She mumbled.

Anna bent her head with a tender smile. "I saw you sneak raisin grapes under the table at lunch. Your outfit doesn't have pockets, so I suppose that you were feeding him."

Elsa was about to reply something, but Anna gently rose her hand.

"And I know only one little guy who loves raisin grapes this much - after snowflakes, of course."

She nudged her. "I'm not scolding you. It's funny that you brought him in Arendelle. And cute. Where is he now?" The redhead looked around.

The elder passed a hand along her other arm. "I'm starting to think this was the worst idea, actually. I completely lost him."

Anna snorted. "Woops."

Elsa had stopped blushing and now frowned. "Hey! Help me out instead of mocking me, will you?"

"Look at who's so bossy now. It's your fault, you dummy."

The blonde pouted. "Please. Please help me. I've been looking for him for the past fifteen minutes."

"And I've been looking for you for the past fifteen minutes." Sighed Anna, shaking her head. "Alright. The market will wait. Where did you see him last?"

"Under the table at lunch, basically. But then I lost him, and I sensed him upstairs, so…"

Anna gave her a quizzical look.

"You know I can sense other Spirits' presence, right?" Worried Elsa, thinking she had forgotten to tell her, but finding it weird if so.

"Yes, I know." Chuckled Anna. "But, it's not more precise than that?"

"I'm not a map!"

"Okay, okay." Apologized the redhead, amused nonetheless. "Upstairs then."

"I've been checking every room, though. And I can't find him!"

"Don't panic. The castle isn't that big. And lucky you, I know it by heart. Did you check at the top of the wardrobes?"

"Yes. He's not there."

The Queen pouted as she thought. "Hmm. What if he's on the roofs?"

Elsa's eyes widened. "You're a genius."

Anna chuckled. "Well, thank you. I just figured it out because- WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"

The blonde interrupted herself after she had opened the window, and now froze in her posture with one leg above the sill. "Well, I'm going up."

"Are you insane?! Come right here immediately."

Elsa smirked. "Sorry, Queenie. I technically answer to no one."

On that, she looked up and crafted a ladder made of ice next to the window, her gaze alternating between the roof and the ground several meters underneath, to check if it was long enough.

Anna watched her doing the action and crossed her arms. "Just be careful, okay?"

"I will."

She climbed on the giant ladder, which already attracted the gaze of several people from the heights of the village who could see them, and they were pointing at the sparkling creation. Anna waved awkwardly at her citizens.

She put a hand on the ladder, personally making sure that Elsa won't fall, and held herself with the other on the sill. "Can you see him?"

Elsa's head appeared at the top of the ladder and she looked around for the salamander.

"Oh, crap."

"What?" Asked Anna, who could hear her underneath.

"The tiles are the same color than him. I didn't think of that."

"And don't you dare melt your decoration."

It wasn't Elsa's intention, but she was amused by Anna's ask. "Why not?"

"Because… Well, because I like it the way it is, but also because I once told in a public forum that it's the ultimate proof you're still here watching over Arendelle as long as the decoration stands."

"You what?"

Anna felt the ladder tremble slightly in her fingers, and clenched her jaw.

"Forget about it. Can you see him?"

Elsa squinted as she looked around. "No. Can you call him?"

Anna frowned. "What? You're the closest one."

"No, I meant… With the Spirits call."

The redhead snorted. "My goodness, did you lose your brain cells when you knocked your head under the bed? If I do so, it will warn the Giants, and Nokk, and so on. Even yourself will feel the need to turn around, and I don't want you falling off that ladder."

Elsa winced. Her head indeed still hurt. "Fair enough."

She held herself to the ladder with one hand, and waved the other, creating a cloud of snow which she then made go around the roofs. She watched it move, and just like according to her plan, a trotting little ball of blue and pink suddenly appeared, popping from a chimney, and jumped to eat the snowflakes in the air.

"There you are." Smirked Elsa, and she moved the cloud back to her so Bruni would approach.

"He was in a chimney!" She said to her sister as the salamander was coming.

"Oh, that makes sense." Laughed Anna.

Elsa laughed, and when she raised her head again, her laugh vanished in her throat. She couldn't see Bruni anymore.

"Wait. I lost him again."

"You lost him AGAIN?!" Exclaimed Anna. "No offence, but isn't it literally your job to keep an eye on him? How can you lose him?"

Elsa frowned. "He's blue on blue! It's easier to track him in the Forest! Nothing is blue in the Forest!"

With a grumble, she climbed on the roofs. The ladder suddenly disappeared in a crumbling of snowflakes, and Anna gasped. She bent her head, seeing the back of her sister from where she was.

"What are you doing?"

"Looking for him. Don't worry, I can stick my feet to the roof."

"How is that reassuring?" Panicked Anna.

Her elder didn't respond, and shook her feet to get rid of her ice sandals, now walking barefoot on the blue tiles.

The Queen muttered a curse word, and she suddenly heard a shriek in the corridor. The bedroom door was opened, and she twirled around. It was a servant.

"Why did you scream?" Worried Gerda's voice in another room.

"There… There was a thing that just went out of the fireplace!" Cried the servant.

Anna turned around, passing her head by the window. "Elsa! Never mind! I found him!"

She hurried back inside, crossing the bedroom, then slipped on the floor, then ran the other way to the window.

"Do you need help to get down?"

"No, I'm alright." Chuckled Elsa.

Anna ran to the door again. Panting, she found where Gerda was, and followed her gesture as she pointed at a dashing tiny blue creature making its way on the corridor's carpet.

The Queen smirked. "Okay, little guy. It's the two of us now. And you're not in the Forest anymore, this is my game territory. You're screwed."
