"Princess Anna it's time wake up!" Said Kai
"For what?" Asked Anna
"For your sister's Coronation ma'am." Said Kai
"For my sister coronation." Anna then realise it's Her Sister's Coronation Day. "It's Coronation Day!" She squealed
The window is open, so's that door
I didn't know they did that anymore
Who knew we owned eight thousand salad plates?
For years I've roamed these empty halls
Why have a ballroom with no balls?
Finally they're opening up the gates
There'll be actual real live people
It'll be totally strange
But wow, am I so ready for this change!
'Cause for the first time in forever
There'll be music, there'll be light
For the first time in forever
I'll be dancing through the night
Don't know if I'm elated or gassy
But I'm somewhere in that zone
'Cause for the first time in forever
I won't be alone
I can't wait to meet everyone! [gasp]
What if I meet... the one?
Tonight imagine me gown and all
Fetchingly draped against the wall
The picture of sophisticated grace
I suddenly see him standing there
A beautiful stranger, tall and fair
I wanna stuff some chocolate in my face
But then we laugh and talk all evening,
Which is totally bizarre
Nothing like the life I've led so far
For the first time in forever
There'll be magic, there'll be fun
For the first time in forever
I could be noticed by someone
And I know it is totally crazy
To dream I'd find romance
But for the first time in forever
At least I've got a chance
[Elsa]
Don't let them in, don't let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don't feel, put on a show
Make one wrong move and everyone will know
[Elsa] But it's only for today
[Anna] It's only for today
[Elsa] It's agony to wait
[Anna] It's agony to wait
[Elsa] Tell the guards to open up the gate
[Anna] The gate
[Anna] For the first time in forever
[Elsa] Don't let them in, don't let them see
[Anna] I'm getting what I'm dreaming of
[Elsa] Be the good girl you always have to be
[Anna] A chance to change my lonely world
[Elsa] Conceal
[Anna] A chance to find true love
[Elsa] Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know
[Anna]
I know it all ends tomorrow,
So it has to be today
'Cause for the first time in forever
For the first time in forever
Nothing's in my way!
Hans horse hits Anna and makes her fall in a boat.
"Hey watch where you are going!" Yelled Anna
"I'm so sorry, are you alright?" Asked Hans
"I'm fine." Said Anna
"Prince Hans Of The Southern Isle." Said Hans
"Princess Anna Of Arendelle." Said Anna
"I am sorry what happened and everything after that." Said Hans
"It's totally fine, but if it was my sister Elsa that would be different but it's just me." Said Anna
"Just You?" Said Hans
Anna nods her head and then she heard the Church Bells
"The Bells the Coronation I have to go now bye!" Said Anna
Hans wave back and his horse waved back too.
—————————————————————
THE CHURCH.
The crown is placed on Elsa's head. She slowly reaches the scepter and the Orb
"Your Majesty, the gloves." Said The Bishop
Elsa takes of the gloves, and takes the scepter and the orb in her hand...
"Queen Elsa of Arendelle!" Said The Bishop
Everyone else repeated "Queen Elsa of Arendelle!"
Elsa puts the Orb and the Scepter back on the pillow. She picks up her gloves and puts them back on.
—————————————————————
THE GREAT HALL
Queen Elsa of Arendelle!" Kai announced, gesturing towards his left.
Elsa kept her head high as she walked to the front of the ball and stood before the throne.
"Princess Anna of Arendelle!" Kai called once more and gestured to the right.
There was a moment of silence where Anna was nowhere to be found before she came running in and stood at the bottom stair, joyfully waving at the crowd. Kai grabbed Anna by the shoulders and placed her next to Elsa.
"Oh, wait. Are you sure I should be-?" Anna stammered. "Oh, ok."
Anna sidestepped away from her big sister and fidgeting nervously. Elsa sighed knowing that her sister was nervous to be around her. Well, now was the time to change that. Elsa leaned over to initiate contact for the first time in 13 years.
"Hi." Elsa said, trying to sound as causal as possible.
"Hi? Who? Hi me?" Anna asked, utterly surprised.
Elsa nodded, trying not to be hurt by Anna's sarcastic tone.
Elsa never talked to her so Anna assumed that she, surely, must be speaking to someone else. She looked left to right to see if there was anyone else her sister could be speaking too but found no one. Anna's face changed from one of skepticism to one of excitement.
"Oh, um. Hi!" Anna said smiling, her tone softening.
"You look beautiful." Elsa offered.
It was true. Anna had grown into a beautiful young woman and her beautiful dress and graceful hairstyle only emphasized the changed that Elsa had been unable to witness as they grew. It left a small pang to realize how much time Elsa had missed.
"Thank you." Anna blushed. "You look beautifuller. No wait, more beautiful. I meant more beautiful."
Elsa stared at Anna blankly for a moment before giggling and blushing as well. Elsa was not used to any form of compliment, let alone a compliment from Anna.
"Thank you." Elsa responded. They fell into an awkward silence for a moment.
"So, this is a party?"
Elsa surveyed the hall.
There were at least 70 people in the ballroom and most of them were dancing. The rest were milling around by the food tables which had been lined up along the walls. There was music playing and people laughing but most of these people were twice Elsa and Anna's age. Maybe only a
handful were under 30.
"It's warmer than I thought it would be." Anna offered.
Elsa nodded. It was definitely warmer than Elsa was used to; almost uncomfortably so. Elsa longed to retreat to her room were her powers automatically lowered the temperature, but it was a once in a lifetime celebration so she forced herself to stay. Luckily, there was a wondrous smell wafting towards Elsa at the moment.
"What's that smell? Is it...?" She trailed off. Both sisters inhaled deeply.
"Chocolate!" They said in unison, giggling at the similar reactions.
Elsa felt lighter than she had in years. This was going better than she had expected. Anna looked like she was about to speak when a throaty cough alerted them to company. The girls turned to see a short, thin man with grey hair, an obvious toupee, and a very bushy mustache.
"Your majesty, the Duke of Weselton." Kai announced. The Duke bowed slightly.
"Queen Elsa, as your closest trade partner, please allow me to congratulate you on your coronation."
"Of course." Elsa nodded politely. She had heard of the Duke before. He was a shrewd business partner and a notorious hothead.
"May I offer you the pleasure of your first dance as Queen?" He asked,
holding his hand out to her.
Elsa hesitated and the Dukes eyebrows rose. Elsa knew she shouldn't refuse someone who was responsible for nearly half of Arendelle's trade, but she knew it was dangerous for her to be that close to anyone. Movement beside her gave Elsa an idea.
"Thank you. But I don't dance." Elsa started. "But my sister does."
Elsa gestured to her right and the Duke's gaze followed. Misunderstanding her sister's statement for a compliment, Anna laughed.
"Very well, lucky for you, Miss." The Duke threaded his arm through Anna's and begin to steer her towards the dance floor.
"Wait, what?" Anna asked confused.
Elsa gave Anna a guilty smirk as she was dragged away.
The music started and Anna began to dance slowly while the Duke essentially circled around her. Anna couldn't believe it; her sister sold her out just to avoid a dance with the Duke. It's not that Anna minded but it was just such a 'sister' thing to do. Anna felt herself smiling. Maybe things with Elsa were looking up.
"So, Princess, it's such a change to have the gates open." The Duke started,
trying to dip her.
It was odd for Anna to be dipped by someone shorter than her but the Duke managed it by bending her so far backwards, Anna swore her back was going to break.
"Such a shame they've been closed in the past. You wouldn't know the reason for that, would you?" He continued.
"Uh, no." Anna said slowly as e Duke pulled her back up.
"Ah, well. I really didn't expect you to." He shrugged, and twirled her before releasing her abruptly. "If you'll excuse me."
He left her unexpectedly and Anna was still twirling slightly.
"What was that?" Anna wondered.
She wasn't really sure how she felt about the Duke's last statement or his abrupt departure. Anna was still mulling it over as she joined her sister once more.
"So how was your dance?" Elsa asked guiltily. Anna laughed.
"Not what I expected." Anna answered. "But I'm having a great time! I wish it could always be like this!"
"Me too." Elsa agreed.
Anna's smile grew and Elsa immediately regretted her words. What if Anna thought this meant they would leave the gates open? Elsa decided she needed to make it clear that one night would not change anything.
"But it can't." Elsa told her. Anna's face dropped.
"But why not?" Anna pleaded, raising her hand to grab Elsa's arm.
Elsa's panic flared as she evaded her sister's touch.
"It just can't!" She snapped.
Anna drew back, hurt.
"Excuse me." Anna managed, turning from her sister and pushing through the crowd.
Anna should have realized that her sister wouldn't change. Elsa had spent 13 years not caring about Anna, some small talk tonight wasn't going to change that. Anna sniffled, fighting back tears until someone bumped into her, sending her flying. Someone grabbed her arm and kept her from falling flat on her face. Anna looked up to see Hans standing over her, concern in his eyes.
"Are you alright?" Asked Hans
"I'm fine." Said Anna
There was a minute of silence until Anna broke the Silence
"Do you want a tour?" Asked Anna
"Sure." Said Hans
Anna and Hans wandered out of the ballroom and Hans marveled at seeing the Princess in the moonlight. She was one of the nicest people Hans had ever met and he was happy to be getting to know her better. Anna turned and smiled shyly at Hans and he noticed the white streak in her hair.
"What's that?" He asked, pointing to it.
"Oh." Anna patted her hair nervously. "I was born with it. That strand just never seems to grow into any other color."
"I like it. It's unique." He offered genuinely.
"Thanks." Anna replied, blushing. "But you're never going to see anything if we stay here. Let's go!" Anna grabbed Han's hand and led him away.
Over the next 3 hours Anna showed Hans all of the spots she used to frequent as a child. In the gardens, Anna told Hans about Arendelle summers and how the unbearable heat was tempered by the breezes that came in from the fjord. In one of the watch towers, she told him about the northern lights that would dance around the mountains but could be seen from Arendelle on clear nights. Hans asked questions about her childhood and when Anna let slip that she used to talk to paintings, Hans decided to voice one of his conclusions.
"You spent a lot of time alone, didn't you?" He asked.
Anna's shoulders slumped and her smile vanished.
"I did." She admitted. "When I was younger, Elsa and I used to be really close. But then she suddenly stopped talking to me. Tonight has been the longest I've spent with her in over 13 years. Mama and Papa did their best to spent time with me but they always seemed to be working or with Elsa. Then they never returned from an oversea voyage and I've been alone ever since."
"I'm sorry." Hans said. "Would it make you feel better to say I know how you feel?"
Anna raised her head to look at him.
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"Well, I have 12 older brothers." He started.
Anna's eyebrows rose in surprise. 13 children was a lot to handle. But Anna wasn't sure where he was going with this; it sounded wonderful to have all those playmates.
"It must have been crazy with all those brothers." Anna offered.
"It was. But it was also very lonely." He told her.
"You see while we are all sons of the King, many of us come from different mothers. Many of my brothers are well over 10 years older than me. By the time I was 10 many were married and living on their own or in the navy. There were really only 5 brothers who I grew up with. Growing up as the youngest son meant that my mother was the King's current lover. When that happened, the previous mistress must leave but all of the Princes stay. I was the only son by my mother so her presence meant that my brothers' mothers had been removed from the castle. Many of them hated me for it."
Anna was stunned. She knew that things ran differently in other kingdoms as everyone had different customs, but she couldn't imagine what Hans was describing to her.
"They hated you?" She repeated.
"3 of them pretended I was invisible for 2 years." He grimaced.
"What made them stop?" Anna wondered, thinking about Elsa and how she ignored Anna when they were younger.
"Our father took on another mistress and my mother was sent away." Hans told her softly.
"No!" Anna exclaimed. Hans nodded solemnly.
"I was 11 at the time and the King had found someone younger to occupy his time and by that time I was old enough to look after myself." He continued. "By that time my brothers figured that I had been tormented enough now that my mother was gone too. We never became close, the resentment was too much, but at least they would talk to me now and again."
"I'm sorry." Anna mumbled, truly saddened by his story.
Hans sighed. He had never revealed his childhood to anyone outside the royal family and it was difficult telling Anna about it now. But Hans knew from his childhood that his father never loved any of the women he had children with; they were just convenient. Yet, Hans had spent his lonely childhood reading in books above true love. As someone starved for affection, true love was something he had dreamed about. When he looked at Anna, he felt that maybe love was finally in his reach.
"It's alright." Hans gave a nervous chuckle. He was glancing nervously at Anna, worried that he had revealed too much. "Maybe we should get back to the party."
"Hans." Anna sighed, guessing at his abrupt change in direction that he was feeling uncomfortable.
"We don't have to go back to the party. But if you don't want to talk about this anymore, I understand. For what it's worth, I'm glad you told me."
"I'm glad too." He said, shuffling his feet slightly. "I've just never connected with anyone like this before. I don't know what possessed me to be so candid."
Okay, can I just, say something crazy?
I love crazy!
All my life has been a series of doors in my face
And then suddenly I bump into you
I was thinking the same thing! 'Cause like
I've been searching my whole life to find my own place
And maybe it's the party talking or the chocolate fondue
But with you
But with you
I found my place
I see your face
And it's nothing like I've ever known before!
Love is an open door!
Love is an open door!
Love is an open door!
With you!
With you!
With you!
With you!
Love is an open door
I mean it's crazy
What?
We finish each other's
Sandwiches!
That's what I was gonna say!
I've never met someone
Who thinks so much like me!
Jinx! Jinx again!
Our mental synchronization
Can have but one explanation
You
And I
Were
Just
Meant to be!
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
To the pain of the past
We don't have to feel it anymore!
Love is an open door!
Love is an open door!
Life can be so much more!
With you!
With you!
With you!
With you!
Love is an open door
Can I say something crazy?
Will you marry me?
Can I say something even crazier? Yes!
THE GREAT HALL
"Excuse me sorry, oh there she is! Elsa Queen Elsa this is Prince Hans of the Southern Isle." Said Anna
"Your Majesty." Said Hans while Bowing
"It's wonderful to met you Hans." Said Elsa
"We would like your blessing for our marriage!" Said Anna
"Marriage!?!" Said Elsa Shocked
"Well, there's still a whole bunch of details we have to work out!" Anna continued, oblivious. "We'll need a few days to plan the ceremony."
"Days?" Elsa repeated, her hope fading.
"Maybe a bit longer, Anna. We will have to get word back to my family and then give them time to travel here for the ceremony."
The Southern Isles Prince said, grimacing as if he wasn't really happy about it.
"Of course, silly me!" Anna playfully swatted at Hans' arm. "We'll need that time to prepare the rooms for all 12 of your brothers. I mean, of course we have the room."
"12 brothers? Anna!" Elsa tried to interject, her panic rising.
"What?" Anna asked, not even looking at Elsa.
"Slow down! No one is getting married." Elsa told her.
"What?" Anna gasped, her focus on Elsa for the first time since the conversation began.
"Can I please speak with you? Alone?" Elsa said pointedly.
Anna's lip trembled and Hans tried to rub her arm soothingly.
"No!" Anna spat. "Whatever you have to say, you can say to both of us!"
"Fine." Elsa raised her eyebrow at Anna's statement. "You cannot get married. You just met."
"You can if its true love!" Anna exclaimed, her anger rising.
"What do you know about true love, Anna?" Elsa sighed.
"More than you!" Anna snapped. "All you know how to do is shut people out!"
Elsa felt she was stabbed by her sister's words.
"You asked for my blessing but my answer is no." Said Elsa
"Your majesty, perhaps I can ease your-" Hans began. He hoped that confessing his love for her sister would help convince the queen that he was the right man but Elsa cut him off.
"No." She snapped, turning away from them. "I think it's time for you to go."
The couple stood stunned by this refusal as the queen passed by one of her attendants.
"The party is over." Elsa told him. "Close the gates."
"Yes, your majesty." The attendant answered.
"Elsa, no!" Anna rushed forward to grab her sister's left hand. Elsa jerked her hand away but Anna held tight, removing her glove.
"Give that back!" Elsa reached for the glove with her right hand but Anna stayed out of reach.
"Elsa, please! I can't continue like this. I can't go back to being shut up in this castle with no one besides you!" Anna spat.
"Then leave." Elsa told her, tears welling up in her eyes. "If you want to get away from here so badly, go! You can leave with your prince and run off to the Southern Isles to be married.
"What?" Anna whispered, not believing what Elsa was saying. "You hate me so much that you would rather have me leave than be happy?"
"I don't-" Elsa shook her head but Anna wasn't hearing it.
"What did I ever do to you?!" Anna shouted. "What could I have possibly done?"
Anna's little tirade was drawing the attention of everyone left in the hall. Elsa knew that this conversation was inappropriate to have in front of guests so she decided to discuss this later.
"Anna, that's enough." Elsa whispered, trying to tell her sister to calm down. "I will discuss this with you later."
Elsa turned away, trying to cover her ungloved hand which was currently frosted over. She needed to get her emotions under control, Elsa was angry and embarrassed and she could feel her control slipping.
"NO!" Anna shouted, her face red with anger. "I'm not letting you leave here so you can just ignore me! We are going to talk about this! Why do you shut me out?! Why do you shut everybody out?"
"That's ENOUGH!" Elsa roared.
Elsa let her hand sweep through the air
to emphasize her point but, too late, she realized that she had gestured with her ungloved hand. She felt the power leap from her finger tips and ice sprouted on the ground, forming a spiked barrier between the queen and her sister. Elsa drew her hand back, staring at her creation in horror. It took a moment for the crowd to react but once it did, the hall was full of gasps and screams.
"Witch!" A cold voice rang out.
Anna turned to see it was the Duke of Weselton who had spoken and was now calling two of his attendants and beginning to advance on her sister. Anna's anger vanished as she saw Elsa pressed up against the door, looking obviously terrified. Elsa opened the door and disappeared down the hall, the Duke and his men hot on her trail.
"Elsa, wait!" Anna called but her sister wasn't listening. "Hans, come on!"
Anna ran around the large ice formation that had sprouted up from the floor and lead Hans to the courtyard were a crowd was formed. Anna gasped as she saw the large fountain had frozen solid and there was frost on the entryway where the Duke and his men were struggling to rise off of the floor.
"What happened?" Hans asked, helping the Duke up.
"That witch attacked me!" He roared, his face purple with anger.
"Elsa wouldn't do that!" Anna yelled, scanning the crowd.
Anna spotted Elsa's cape vanish around the corner and tore after her.
"Anna, wait!" Hans shouted, abandoning the Duke and following her.
Anna ran to the castle's outer wall which had a staircase that lead to the fjord. As she reached the top of the stairs, Elsa reached the water's edge.
"Elsa, wait!" Anna called again.
"Anna look the fjord!" Said Hans
It was turning into ice when they came back it began to snow.
"That witch has cursed this land we must find her and kill her!" Said The Duke
"No you can't do that! Tonight was my fault I pushed her, Hans and I are going to bring her back to make this right." Said Anna
Anna comes back with winter clothes on and supplies for her and Hans.
"Lets go and bring my sister back." Said Anna
