Okay here it is the 3rd Chapter Enjoy!
Chapter 3- The Hidden Princess and the Requests
James rushes to the closest bathroom and pukes out the seasickness he held in. He was holding it in 'til they get to a hotel or inn to rest, but since the king wants to meet them immediately he has to hold it in 'til the end. But that didn't help at all… it just made it worse, "Couldn't hold it in and it was stupid of hold it in!"
Soon another wave hits him… "Oh God!"
Meanwhile at the throne room…
The Royal family and their guests sit waiting for James to come back. After a moment of silence, Bill speaks out, "Please forgive my nephew, he's not use to riding on a boat."
The King chuckles, "Oh not to worry, if I remember correctly when you first came here we had to meet the next day in order for you to control you stomach!"
Bill and The Royals begin to laugh of that little memory, easing the tension for everyone else of being formal. Ted on the other hand, is growing a bit worrisome for his cousin, "Your majesty, I am a little concerned that my cousin may be lost. May Kai show me where he took him?" The King gave him his permission and both Kai and Ted went to find James.
James leaves the bathroom after spitting out the last of the vomit. He straightens his clothes as he looks around the hallway and knows something… he's lost. He walks all over the hallway as he finds his way to the throne room. However he notices something while walking, 'For a large Castle, you'd think they have a lot of servants?' Trying to find his way, he hoped to find someone who can point him to the direction of the Throne Room.
He continues onward, feeling a bit of chill coming down his body. Suddenly, he hears a beautiful sound coming from a large white door with blue snowflakes decorating the frames. He feels the cold shivering down his spine as he comes closer to the door. Standing there as he hears the voice coming from the door with music playing in the background, he puts his ear next to the door, "Every time I try to walk away, something makes me turn around and stay. And I can't tell you why"
James couldn't understand it, but the girl's singing mesmerizes him. He joins in without hesitation, "No no Baby, I can't tell you why! I can't tell you why!"
Behind the door…
Someone singing with Elsa catches her off and stops her mix tape player. She looks through the keyhole to see a pair of hazel eyes staring right back at her. Startled, she turns away from the man who speaks, "Sorry to have you off guard miss, but I am a bit lost!"
Elsa doesn't respond… "Could you tell me where the throne room is?" Elsa can't speak due to fear, soon ice begins to spread on the floor.
In the halls…
James begins to feel the cold temperature growing freezing degrees, "P-please, I-I'm a bit lost and I'm n-not good with d-d-darkness." The room grows colder as his teeth start to jitter.
Elsa hears his plea and finally talks, "If you go straight and see a Crocus emblem in front of the door… that'll be your destination."
James smiles at the girl finally talking and sighs a relief, "Thank you miss?"
Elsa speaks to him in a formal response, "Princess Elsa of Arendelle." James stops for a moment of whom just given her name. "Thank you Princess Elsa—Wait shouldn't you be with your family?" Elsa is caught, she panics a bit until she gives a lie, "I –I have a b-bad cold!" she lets out a fake cough that James is not fooled.
James rubs his hands and then gets up from the floor. Before leaving, Elsa asks, "May I know your name as well?"
James was about to respond, until…
"JAMES… there you are!"
James turns his head to see Ted and Kai walking towards him. "Come on man, we've been worried sick." James is soon pulled up and walks back with the others, until he takes a look back.
Elsa pokes her head out from the door and sees James with his short ponytail, tan skin, hazel eyes, and chin goatee. He smiles at her and yells, "It's nice meeting you, your highness! And the name's James Moore" In response she shyly bows her head and closes the door.
From the click of her door, she turns with a look of familiarity. The name James sounds familiar to her, until going through her memory bank and remembers Bill talking about his nephew James Moore who's a very bright boy and unique. She stops for a moment with wide eyes of disbelief… she talked to her idol. She smiles at the moment and begins to play the song that's stopped on her cd-tape player and lays on her bed, but unbeknownst to her… the temperature in her room has risen rapidly.
In the throne room…. everyone is beginning to get bored as the rest of party finally make it back. Embarrassment creeps on James's face, "Sorry everyone, little seasickness." The King soon stands up, "Now since every one's here, I believe we should speak in a more relaxing environment. Kai?"
Kai takes the guests to the Living room where a fireplace is roaring… with two large sofas and a large coffee table in the middle, and a bar stand where Kai is waiting for drink orders. All the guests and Royals enter and take their seats.
Agdar speaks, "Would anyone care for a drink… Bill?" "I'll have an Irish Coffee." As each ordered their drinks, James was about to order, but remembers that he's a minor, "I'll just have club soda."
The King responds to James's request, "Don't worry you can get an alcoholic drink if you like, in our kingdom 18 is the age of drinking."
James just smiles with his hand up for a decline, "Thank you for the offer, but after the bathroom incident I'm just going to stick with something light for now."
The King nods in understanding as Kai gets their orders and starts making the drinks.
Agdar soon spoke up, getting everyone in the opposite side's attention, "You're all maybe wondering why I summoned you here." The band nodded. "Well my people are infatuated in Music and Media and it is so happens that your band is the number one most popular Foreign Musical Acts in Arendelle!"
The News comes to a shock to the whole band when they heard this… Bill can't hold his laughter after seeing the boy's shocked. He's never seen them this expressive since their first big gig at Woodstock!
After a moment of silence, Ted had a realization and speaks first, "So you want us to perform here in Arendelle. That's why you asked us to come?" The King nodded. Anna cannot believe what she heard and seen, The Charmings are offered to perform in Arendelle. This news makes her giddy, but still trying to keep her Princess manners appeared.
Ted continued speaking, "Performing in Arendelle… in the castle." The last words made the King burst out laughing, "No, no, no… This castle isn't ready for the people to come and visit. We have a music hall not far from here for you to perform in."
This got James's attention, 'Why would the Castle be closed off by the public?' He soon forced himself back to the request and thinks, while Rick takes over, "Well, your majesty it will be an honor to perform in Arendelle. However it will take roughly a few months for preparations and also the band just got offered a record deal not too long ago and we're about to start preparing for recording next month. So it's going to be a while until." In reflex Rick flinches feeling as if someone's aiming a gun by the back, he turns to see the band looking at him with a 'are you kidding me!?' look. "Unless you guys want to hold the contract for a while and perform?"
James who has been quiet the whole time stood up and gives a smile to the Royals, " Well, I speak for all of us of what we're thinking. We would love to perform for the people of Arendelle!"
Anna gasps in surprise, with the King and Queen giving him a smile of gratitude, but is soon faded when James as other options, "However, I have a question of my own."
Everyone in the room is silent, only the fire flaring in the fireplace is heard. James gives a charming smile, the smile that everyone cannot resist. This is the smile that gave the band their name The Charmings, "How come you never told me or the band that your daughters are our biggest fans?"
King Agdar is shocked with James's observation on the girls, who begs him the question, "How did you know that I have more than one daughter and they're your biggest fans?"
James shrugs and explains, "When I was lost in the halls, your daughter… Elsa gave me directions behind the door… She says she's sick, so I understand. Also I can see Princess Anna's excitement overload when she saw us coming in. I know too well those kinds of fans and if Anna's a fan… so is Princess Elsa because I heard a song she was playing behind the door and that song is 'I can't tell you why', one of our mix tape songs!" Everyone look at James as if he's an idiot making himself in power over the Royals.
This is one thing that Uncle Bill and Cousin Ted have always felt like this'll be his downfall. Before the band could tackle James to the ground for his "rude behavior", King Agdar stands up and walks towards him.
Everyone's breath is held as he walks towards him, smiling, " Bill, your nephew is not everything you say he is! He is way more impressive!" with a raised arm for a shake, "I think I'm going to like you!"
With the charming smile of his, James takes the King's hand and shakes it. Everyone sighs in relief….
Kai soon brings in the drinks as everyone raises their glasess and toasts.
Later at night it began to relax as the night went on… Idun, Agdar, Bill, Rick, and James talk enjoying each other's time as they share their stories. Bill continues his story, "And there was little James knees deep covered in mud and nursing a sprained ankle"
Everyone laughed at the story with James putting his hand over his face of embarrassment.
"And that was the last and final time I gave that boy a riding lesson!"
Bill notices that he has his limit of drinks and calls for the night, "I believe I should head off to my room. And you all should too, you boys have a big day tomorrow!"
James nods as he and Agdar walk towards Anna and Ted who're sitting together talking, while also learning to eat a lutefisk, "Yeah the whole thing! Ha ha ha ha"
"Y'know your highness-"
"Just Anna."
"Anna; one of the places you should totally see is San Fransokyo! Their technological breakthroughs are astounding and- Oh, your majesty I was about to tell her about one of the places you should make trade with."
"I already know of the places I'll be making trade, but right now it's time for Anna to go to bed."
Anna gives a sad look as the 13 years old girl leaves Ted, but he gives her one more thing before she left. He lifts his hands and then a golden rose appears, "I'm not one for autographs, so take this as a token of gratitude of being our number one fan." James smirks at Ted who's always a Charmer when it comes to his talent in magic. Anna on the other hand blushes with wide eyes, "Thank you!" Ted bows before a yawn slips through his voice, "You're welcome." He catches himself as everyone laughs at his little sleepiness. Embarrassed he brushes it off, "I guess I need some sleep too."
Brad stretches while replying, "sounds like a good idea. We'll hit the hay at a close Inn."
As the band's about to leave, Bill just raised his hand, "That won't be necessary. King Agdar and Queen Idun have already took the liberty to set up the rooms personally for each of you."
This made the band surprised and honored. With that Kai escorted them to their own rooms with their stuff already inside and fell to sleep.
But James on the other hand cannot sleep.
And that's where I'll leave off! The Next chapter is the private performance and a real face-to-face for James and Elsa.
