(Here's the next chapter! Enjoy!)

Marisol squeezed Elsa's hand gently.

Elsa felt shivers down her spine…the snow queen, having shivers down her spine? This was new.

Over at the podium, Anna began her happy dance, flailing her arms out excitedly at the scene folding out in front of her.

She knocked a few trays out of several maids' arms, but it didn't matter. If Elsa was happy, she was happy.

*Back in Corona*

Tears stung Arianna's eyes as she stared at Idunn's chest rise and fall rhythmically. She gently clutched Idunn's tender hand.

"Hey….how are you going?" Arianna asked her as she stroked her sister's hair.

Obviously Idunn didn't reply.

Arianna watched Violetta like a hawk as the nurse changed the IV's and checked that everything was in order.

Violetta avoided eye contact with Arianna. With Arianna in this mood, one step out of line would probably get her executed.

"And so? Is she alright?" Arianna asked anxiously.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Violetta answered in a monotone voice. "All is fine."

A knock at the infirmary door caused Arianna's head to turn.

"Your Majesty, dinner is waiting." Cassandra announced, now in her handmaiden clothes.

Arianna looked at Cassandra, then back at Idunn. "I'm not hungry."

"Your Majesty, you must eat." Violetta said, obviously concerned for the queen.

"You will not push me around. I will stay with Idunn. I am not hungry."

Arianna stared at the new feeding tube that had been placed in Idunn's left nostril to keep her hydrated and full while she was still sedated. It looked ugly and yellow, like a piece of spaghetti was hanging out her nose.

Arianna stroked Idunn's hair. "At least you feel you can eat. I'm too nauseous to eat while you're in this state."

Arianna's voice cracked and she finally let the tears flow. "I miss you so much Idy! I just want you back! I'll do anything! Please!" Her head spun like a spinning top.

Violetta watched in horror as the queen went a very obvious shade of green.

"Idy….pl….uh.." Arianna put a hand to her mouth. "Please excuse me, my love."

She kissed Idunn's head before running towards the infirmary bathroom and slamming the door behind her in a rather unqueenly manner.

She leaned over the toilet bowl and retched, the horrible sound filling the infirmary.

Violetta cringed as she heard the sound of vomit splashing into the toilet bowl, followed by the queen crying and gasping for air.

Arianna groaned. She now smelt less like a queen and more like a gorilla. She daintily dabbed at the small bits of vomit on her face with a handkerchief in an attempt to at least look presentable again.

She stared at herself in the mirror. Her mascara was now running down her face, her hair was a mess and she smelt dreadful.

Arianna wiped her face with her hand, forgetting any form of queenly etiquette she had learnt in her many years of being queen.

She slunk down next to the toilet, curled up in a ball and sobbed loudly, her hands shaking against her legs. Her heart thudded against her chest, only making things worse.

Violetta could almost feel her heart shatter in two as Arianna's sobs echoed around the infirmary.

With a glass of water in hand, Violetta gently knocked on the door.

"Your Majesty?" Violetta asked.

"Go away." Arianna replied rudely, her head still in her knees.

"Are you alright?"

"Ughhhhhhhhhhh." Arianna groaned

With shaking hands, Violetta turned the knob of the bathroom door. Opening the door slowly, she gasped as a totally uncomposed Arianna came into view.

"Your Majesty!" Violetta gasped, rushing to Arianna's side. "Are you alright?!"

Arianna didn't reply. She was just so dizzy.

"Would you like some water, Your Majesty?" Violetta asked.

Violetta's voice seemed to echo and fade in Arianna's ears. All she could see was Violetta's face, her vision tunnelling. Her head spun worse and worse.

She took one look at Violetta again, before her eyes began slowly rolling into her head.

Then everything went black.

Violetta watched in horror as she watched Arianna slump unconscious into her lap. She lifted Arianna's limp head and placed her two fingers on her neck, feeling a rapid pulse against her fingers.

"No no no no no!" Violetta gasped. "HEY! I NEED SOME HELP!" She yelled out to the other medical staff.

"WHAT THE HELL?!" Harold gasped, looking them both up and down. "Is this some sort of family curse?"

"HAROLD! NOT FUNNY!" Violetta scolded.

"I didn't say it was!"

"Would you shut your pretty, handsome mouth and GET ME A GURNEY!?"

"Fine, fine! I swear these royals are a handful and a half." Harold muttered

"I heard that." Violetta rolled her eyes at her husband as she placed a limp Arianna onto a gurney.

"Please, Your Majesty, take care of yourself." Violetta gently squeezed her hand.

"Everything will be alright, I promise." Violetta added.

Arianna woke to a cool cloth being pressed against her forehead. The smell of strawberry tea filled the room.

The first thing Arianna saw was her pale pink bedroom ceiling. She was warm and safely tucked under her own bed blanket.

Her eyes darted around the room as she took in her surroundings. She turned to the cup of tea sitting on the bedside table, then to the cloth on her forehead.

She turned to her right to see her concerned husband sitting on the bed. He held the cloth on her forehead and stroked her long brown hair.

"My love….you look terrible." Frederic reached for her delicate hand and squeezed it.

Arianna felt disgusting. She was supposed to be poised and regal, yet she had the disgusting smell of vomit on her breath.

"You should be in royal meetings. It's Tuesday. This morning you said you had a whole pile of paperwork and four meetings." Arianna said.

"And you think I wouldn't come running when one of our medical staff interrupted my meeting, telling me you threw up then fainted?!"

Arianna didn't answer. She turned away, sighing loudly.

"My love…." He gently took off her necklace and earrings and laid them on the bedside table next to her.

He gently wiped her makeup off. He had loved Arianna for years, and no matter what happened, he would only continue to love her.

Arianna turned back to her husband.

"I'm so sorry." Arianna's voice cracked.

"In sickness and in health, my love. I made a vow, my darling. I can't go back from that."

Arianna tried to smile. She looked around once more, this time more rapidly.

"Wait…..wait! Idunn! Idunn?!" Arianna gasped. "WHERE'S IDUNN?! I HAVE TO BE WITH IDUNN! SHE NEEDS ME!"

Arianna began to hyperventilate.

Arianna tried to pull off the covers, panicking. She muttered Idunn's name over and over.

"No. And for now I need you. And I need you to rest. You're as white as the sheets." Frederic held his wife gently.

"Idunn…..Idunn…I need Idunn" Exhaustion overcame her and she burst into tears, sobbing into the king's chest.

Frederic was speechless. He had never seen his wife act like this, but he would never stop loving her. She was his soulmate, his companion for life. He would do anything for her.

For him to love and to cherish, In Sickness and in Health.
