Here Comes The Sun

Chapter 7

By: The Duchess of Arendelle

AN: Ladies and gentlemen may I present… Chapter 7. *Applause*

Elsa had long ago given up on finishing her work. Dinner was in 20 minutes and she had started pacing again. "Well, I might as well go down to the dining hall now." She thought as she looked in the mirror and straightened out her disheveled appearance. Elsa left her room and made the slow trek down the corridor and to the grand dining hall. By now, all the servants had found out that the Princess of the great kingdom Corona was here. Kai ordered the dining hall be prepared along with a feast in welcome of the lost princess. Elsa finally made it to the hall and was not surprised to see she was the only one there. She sat in her regular spot at the head of the table and once again pondered over what she was going to say to Rapunzel.

Meanwhile….

"Anna are you ready?" Rapunzel asked her nervous friend.

"You bet I'm ready… I was BORN READY… come on… let's do this!" Anna stood bouncing in place, in the middle of the room, trying to psych herself up. Rapunzel looked at her side eyed and said, "Calm down tiger…" They both left their room early so they could stop by Kristoff's. All three of the friends walked to the dining hall together, talking.

"This is going to be so awkward, I just know it." Anna said nervously. "She's probably not even coming. She's going to stay locked in her room again, forever because of me..." She continued, flailing her arms in exaggeration. Kristoff and Rapunzel looked at each other then at Anna.

"Anna, please calm down, it's going to be fine. Rapunzel and I will make sure to keep a steady conversation going." Kristoff told her.

"Yeah, and then afterwards I'm going to talk to Elsa, remember? I'm going to clear things up and everything is going to be fine." Rapunzel reassured. Anna looked at her two friends then sighed.

"I hope you two are right…" she trailed off.

***FROZEN***

In the dining hall, Elsa sat waiting for the others. The table had been set along the upper half of the long wooden table top. There were five place settings, two directly beside the queen on each side. The servants had been surprised to see her there so early but said nothing. Just then, Elsa heard one of the humongous doors leading into the dining room open and she held her breath. "This is it…" she thought to herself. She turned her head towards the door and heard the person before she saw them. Giggles?

"Hiiiiii Elsa! How are youuuuuu?" Olaf asked with another series of giggles.

Elsa let out a breath she didn't realize she was holding. "Hello Olaf. How's my favorite little snowman?"

Olaf let out more giggles as he made his way over to Elsa. "I'm fantastic Elsa! Ohhhh, you look a little sad. What's the matter?" Olaf asked as he climbed in her lap. He did that sometimes…well all the time. Elsa didn't mind.

"Oh, it's nothing Olaf, I'm just a little worn out…" Elsa said and tried to give a reassuring smile that ended up looking more like a grimace. Olaf frowned and looked up at Elsa. The personal flurry was no longer needed for him. Elsa had figured out a way to keep him constantly freezing by creating an ice heart, made of ice so cold a normal human would not be able to touch it. Olaf appreciated it so much and looked to Elsa as a mother figure. So of course he wasn't going to let this go. He pulled on Elsa's sleeve to get her to look down at him. His big eyes looked at her with sadness as he asked again.

"Elsa…please tell me…" Elsa's heart broke a little at the snowman's quiet plea. This was her little snowman and she hurt him just like she hurt Anna. Anna. Her eyes started to water at the thought of her beloved sister. She then realized she had so much she wanted to get off her chest and no one to tell it to. She had no close friends, she didn't count Kai and Gerta, they were more like parents and she wouldn't dare think about telling them anyway. She couldn't talk to Anna, because she was the problem. All she truly had was her little snowman. She looked at him and gave him a real smile. It was very small, but it was real.

"Oh, Olaf. It's Anna. I think I did something stupid…" she broke down, trailing off, looking at the little snowman in her lap.

"You mean the kiss? That was no big deal. Really Elsa." he simply asked. Elsa was shocked.

"How did you…" she didn't finish her sentence. Olaf picked it up.

"Know? Because I heard them talking about it at the picnic today. While I was making flower crowns. I brought you one too, but it's in my room!" he went off topic. Elsa's face turned chalk white. They were talking about her? About the kiss? What were they saying? Were they talking about how disgusting she was? Elsa was panicking and was about to ask Olaf all those questions, when the door opened again. This time two blondes and a red head came shuffling in. Olaf instantly jumped off her lap and into the chair on her left side. The two blondes hurried and took two of the seats further away from the queen, leaving Anna with the seat next to the queen on her right. They all greeted Elsa with a warm hello. Except for Anna who continued staring at her empty plate. Tension was starting to grow and there was no food to distract them yet. Kristoff looked at Rapunzel who sat across from him and shook his head. He then cleared his throat to speak.

"Umm, Elsa. So about that ice I wanted to speak to you about earlier…" Elsa looked at him blandly and he didn't know where he was going with this. He was lying earlier so he could trick the queen into meeting Anna in the gardens. He thought quickly. "Okay, so I was in the Northern Mountains, right… and out of nowhere…" the doors to the dining hall once again burst open, servants bringing in an abundance of food. Kristoff let out a breath as the servants started serving them. Rapunzel sniffed the air heavily and the resulting smile looked like it would split her face in two. She moaned.

"Mmmm. Oh. My. Goodness. Is that hazelnut soup?" she looked at Elsa, eyes bright. Elsa looked up from twisting her hands in her lap and replied with a nervous, "Yes…" she then started to panic.

"Do you not like hazel nut soup? I'm sorry, I did some research and saw that it was a Coranian specialty. I'll have them send it ba-" Rapunzel cut her off with a giggle.

"No! No it's totally fine. Hazelnut soup is my absolute favorite food!" she picked up the spoon and tasted it. Another moan. "Wow, this is amazing! Cooked the authentic Coronian way! How did you manage that?" she asked, bringing another spoon full to her mouth. Everyone else had started eating and Elsa had to admit, it was pretty delicious.

"Well, we have a few staff members that originally hail from Corona. Hence my research. We have other Corona delicacies as well. I had them prepare a list of ingredients and recipes so they would be on hand when you finally arrived. I just didn't realize it would be today…" Elsa explain, staring down into her soup. Rapunzel smiled, she was touched.

"Elsa..." she called. Elsa looked up from her bowl and stared at Rapunzel. "Thank you so much. It's delicious and you really didn't have to do this." She told Elsa with a soft smile. Elsa smiled back and blushed, looking back down for a second.

"It was no problem really, it was mostly Anna's idea. We just wanted you to feel at home." She paused and looked over at Anna who was finding her soup to be very interesting. Then she remembered something. "Oh, and before I forget. I apologize about the whole, 'Ruining- your- honeymoon- by- almost- freezing- everyone- to- death' thing." Elsa look guilty and Rapunzel was quick to reassure.

"No, it was fine really! I thought it was kind of fun. What an adventurous way to spend your honeymoon right?" she giggled and Elsa smiled a bit. The rest of the courses were eventually served and they all talked throughout dinner. Rapunzel was keeping a steady stream conversation going with Elsa and Olaf, while Kristoff entranced them all with his stories about his latest adventures in the mountains. Elsa and Anna avoided talking to each other of course and soon the servants were back to clear the table. Rapunzel look at Kristoff who was blissfully picking his teeth. She tried to get his attention to no avail. She ended up kicking him under the table. Hard. He let out a hiss of pain and looked at her angrily. She shushed him.

"What?" he mouthed. Rapunzel looked at him and jutted her head over in Anna's direction. "Oh…" he mouthed then whispered "What do you want me to do?" Rapunzel thought for a second then looked at him with a mischievous smile. Kristoff cocked his head to the side and started to ask. "What are you goi- OWWWW!" Rapunzel had drew back and kicked Kristoff with as much force as she could muster while sitting down. It was in the same spot as the first kick. Kristoff jumped from his chair holding his injured leg while howling in pain. Anna and Elsa quickly stood from their chairs as well and Anna ran over to her friend to see what the problem was.

"Kristoff are you okay? What happened?" Anna asked alarmed.

"It's my leg! Something…" he looked over at Rapunzel who was trying to keep a straight concerned face. "…is wrong with it…" He stared at Anna then looked back and forth from Rapunzel to Elsa. She got the hint and smiled.

"You poor thing! Let's get you to the infirmary at once." She said as she started helping the injured boy out of the room.

"Do you need any help?" Elsa asked concerned for the boy.

"Nope, it's fine. I got it." Anna threw over her shoulder as she continued to help Kristoff walk.

"Olaf, come on buddy." Kristoff called from the hallway, and the little snowman scurried from his sit and out the door. Before they were out of ear shot the two remaining girls heard Kristoff whimper a "I might cry…" and Anna soothing with a "It's okay, I won't judge…"

Elsa and Rapunzel were now left in the room together. Alone. They turned to each other and tried to speak at the same time.

"Look, Elsa I need to speak-"

"Rapunzel, there's something I must ask-"

They stopped talking and stared at each other.

"You go fir-"

"Sorry, you go on-"

They stopped talking again. This time when they stared at each other they began to laugh.

"I'm sorry Elsa! You go ahead." Both girls sobered up and Elsa looked back at Rapunzel seriously.

"It's about Anna. And the kiss. Look, Rapunzel, I know it's strange, and weird, and some might think disgusting and unnatural…but I love Anna. With all my heart. I couldn't imagine a world without her in my life. Not again. That's why I wanted to ask you… beg you if I must… to please… please keep this a secret. I would very much like to be with Anna and I need you to promise not to breathe a word to anyone. If I couldn't be with Anna… there'd be no point in living..." Elsa had started to cry and Rapunzel's eyes filled with tears as well. She grabbed Elsa in a tight hug.

"Oh Elsa. That's what I wanted to speak with you about too. I wanted to tell you that I support your relationship. You guys are my family and I would never betray your trust." She pulled out of the hug and held Elsa's hands. "You Elsa, are my friend. I want you to know that I'm here for you, for both of you. You're my cousin and I love you. Elsa, I don't know a lot of things, but I do know what true love looks like. You and Anna are endgame." She finished and Elsa sniffled and smiled.

"Thank you. Thank you so much. You don't know how much this means to me…" She grabbed Rapunzel in another hug. They both smiled and laughed. Rapunzel pulled out of the hug again.

"Now go on, go get your girl!" Rapunzel smiled. Elsa smiled back and rushed out the room. Rapunzel stood there still smiling then thought, "I should really go check on Kristoff…"

***FROZEN***

Elsa rushed to the infirmary but Anna was no longer there. Kristoff laid in one of the beds, his leg bandaged, and spotted Elsa looking around. "She's waiting for you in the ballroom." Elsa looked at him and smiled. "Thank you…" she responded, already on her way out the door.

"Hey!" he called out. Elsa stopped and turned around."

"Good luck." He smiled. Elsa nodded and smiled back.

***FROZEN***

Elsa slowing opened one of the ballroom doors and snuck in. She saw Anna standing by a window, looking out at the beautiful night sky, oblivious to her presence. Elsa touched one of the walls and cause a sheet of ice to cover the surface. It stretched all the way to the window Anna was standing I front of. Anna was startled to see a small ice rose forming on the window seal. She gently touched it a turned around. Right into Elsa arms.

"Elsa, I- " Elsa cut her off by putting a hand to her lips.

"No, Anna. Let me say something." She removed her hand and gently grabbed Anna's.

"Anna, I love you. I always have. You mean more to me then my own life. I have a confession…" she trailed off and looked away. Anna brought Elsa's face back to her own and smiled encouragingly.

"I- when I thought you were… gone. Frozen because of me, I no longer wanted to live. I knew Hans was behind me with his sword. I was going to let him kill me, because the thought of living without you, the thought of me having killed you… it was too much to bear." Elsa had started to cry. Anna wiped her tears away, much like she did the morning they spent in here, playing in the snow like they were kids again. Elsa caught Anna's hand and kissed it.

"I promise you Anna, right here and now, I'll never shut you out again." Now Anna was crying too. "Elsa, I love you so much." Tears were streaming down both of their faces. Anna found the courage to lean in and close the distance between the two in a passionate kiss. Their lips moved and Elsa gasped into the kiss. Anna took the opportunity to deepen the kiss. Tongues danced and hands roamed. Anna let out a throaty moan as Elsa's hands traveled down her back to cup her backside. Anna wrapped her arms tighter around Elsa's neck and ran her fingers through the soft blonde tresses. Elsa's lips were cold and Anna loved every second of it. When the need for air became a necessity they broke apart, breathing heavily. They laid their foreheads against each other and smiled.

"I love you." Anna smiled and let out a wispy sigh.

"I love you too." Elsa smiled back before going in for another kiss.

Snow started to fall all around them.
