Monday

October 24th, 1842

It has been more than two and a half years since Arandelle was restored. Elsa, now 23 years old made peace with her sister Anna who was now 21 years old, and with that peace came back summer. Happy days were ahead of Arandelle as Arandelle was growing and much vegetation and beauty came therof. Though the crops were frozen and much rebuilding did need to take place, Arandelle and its people had sufficient for their needs. Happy days were ahead of Arandelle. Not just in the kingdom but in the people.

In those two and half years Arandelle under its Queen, Queen Elsa had terminated it's relationship of trades with Weaselton and the Southern Isles. For obvious reasons .. many of the Queens royal subjects had become worried and had expressed their concern to their Queen about their absence of trades with two very important neighboring kingdoms. Queen Elsa understood how difficult it would be to sustain the whole kingdom with two important trades lacking in their days ahead. But through her grace she was been able to lead Arandelle through two successful long winters in those two years.

The kingdom of Arandelle had come to accept Queen Elsa and her magical ice powers. Queen Elsa in the beginning went to every family in Arandelle, including her own staff members and loyal subjects and personally apologized for her actions in the winter of July of 1839. Many of her people understood that it wasn't her fault and they continued to accept her as their Queen. Since that day Queen Elsa had vowed to serve faithfully to her people and as time went on the people had come to praise Queen Elsas honorable leadership and example. And so Queen Elsa along with her sister Princess Anna lead the people of Arandelle with love.

And so what were our two favorite sisters up to on a Monday morning?

Queen Elsa's eyes slowly begin to open. She sits up from bed as she begins to stretch her back and rub her eyes. She was so used to getting up early. As a child her father on some days would gently wake her so he could show Elsa his duties as King. She would follow her father around the castle and stand beside him watching him sign paperwork and even see him with his royal subjects and council and discuss political or social matters. King Agnarr made sure Elsa learned from him how he ran the kingdom on a daily basis or in times of need. He wanted to make sure she was prepared to rule the kingdom in the future.

Elsa gets up from bed and stands on her feet. She walks over to her window and opens it so she can see the kingdom before her. Every morning she would always walk to her window and look at the kingdom and the people. She gives a satisfying smile while looking upon her people as they begin their morning. She sees little children with their parents being led to school, she sees family business stores begin to open and many of her people going to work. She then looks up at the sky. Her smile goes away as she stares at the sky. She remembers her parents. She remembers her father. Everyday she always questions herself if she's making him proud. Her father would always stress about her being Queen one day and wanted to make sure she would lead the kingdom with success. She then here's a familiar knock she's heard her whole life. She turns around with a smile knowing she still has her best friend with her.

"Elsa?" Says Anna as she opens the door looking for her.

"Hi." Says Elsa with a smile

Anna walks over and gives her a hug.

"Uh oh, someone overslept!" Says an already dressed and ready Anna as she gazed at her sisters icy blue night gown and her exposed feet.

Elsa laughs: "You're only saying that because you're excited to see Kristoff again."

Anna scoffs at her comment: "Nooooo .." Says Anna as she follows up with an obvious guilty smile.

Elsa gives Anna a questionable smile as she raises her left eyebrow up.

"Its been a long three days what can I say!" Says Anna

"What am I not enough company for you?" Laughs Elsa

"Of course you are!" Exclaims Anna. "Just you know .. I'm excited that's all."

Elsa chuckles and then a knock is heard on the door.

Kai opens the door and comes in. "Good morning your majesty and my lady." Breakfast will be ready in one hour as well with today's schedule."

"Thank you Kai." Says Elsa with a smile.

Around this time in Arandelle snow was beginning to appear in the mountains. However for the ice master the sooner he retrieved ice was always better so he could retrace his tracks come winter. A big man with a fury coat is seen on a tall mountain with wind blowing from all directions. His brown eyes were the only thing that can be seen as he's covered everywhere except his eyes. He looks very concentrated. Finding ice and snow in the fall can be difficult but lucky for him he knew exactly where to go. He gathers his final provisions and takes a long look down the mountain. He then grabs a rope and is able to tie it around his waist he starts to jump slowly back down to the mountain. One final jump and he safely lands on the ground. He takes off his fury coat and his face mask.

Kristoff calls out for his faithful companion.

"Sven! Come on buddy I know your here." Sven then runs to him giving him licks on his cold cheeks.

"Hahah okay Sven calm down buddy I wasn't gone that long!" The happy reindeer is just happy to see his good friend. "You ready??" Says Kristoff to Sven.

Kristoff was now 24 years old. He had been in a relationship with Anna for more than two years and he has enjoyed every second of them.

Sven makes his way down the mountains with speed as Kristoff grabbed on to his leash on the brand new sleigh. He was on his way back down to Arandelle with lots of ice to give to his customers. Kristoff gives a big smile as he sees Arandelle before him, happy to know that was returning back to his Anna. He's been gone for three days after all. After returning to Arandelle and delivering all the ice that was needed for the kingdom he and Sven make their way to the castle. Just then the doors of the castle open. Anna steps outside with a big smile on her face as she sees Kristoff again. Kristoff smiles back at the princess. Anna runs to Kristoff and Kristoff jumps from his sleigh to pick up Anna and hug her.

"Oh I've missed you so much!" Exclaims Anna.

"I missed you too!" Says Kristoff with a laugh.

Anna sees Sven behind Kristoff: "Sven!"

She runs to greet Sven as he starts to shake his whole body happy to of excitement.

"I have something for you!" She reaches from her pocket and pulls carrots. Sven starts to jump up and down in excitement and Anna throws the carrots in the air only to see Sven jump and eat them. She pets Sven's forehead then turns to Kristoff.

"Soooo how was the trip?" Says Anna.

"Ehh it was alright, just really windy. But hey check this out!" He runs to his sleigh in excitement.

"Oh boy here we go .." exclaims Anna while rolling her eyes. She knew exactly what was about to happen.

He pulls a cloth from behind his sleigh to unveil a beautiful and big square shape ice block. Smooth and new.

"Surprise! Looks good huh!?" Says Kristoff.

"Kristoff .." Says Anna

"No hold on this one is different I promise! Look at the edges. Have you seen anything so smooth! And the color is outstanding! You can literally see through the ice so clearly!"

"Kristoff are we really doing this again .." Says Anna.

"What!????" Says Kristoff with a nervous laugh.

Anna shakes her head "You always do this. You try to compare the ice you find to the one Elsa creates."

"All I'm doing is trying to show her that her ice and mine aren't that different at all!" Says Kristoff.

Anna and Sven look at each other with a half smile, close their eyes and shake their heads as she lets Kristoff vent like the good girlfriend she is. Inside the castle castle walked down the stairs with Kai and her staff as they fixed her icy blue dress. Kai was informing Elsa of today's schedule.

"Thank you Kai for reminding me what I have to do today. I don't know what I'd do without you." laughs Elsa.

"Of course your majesty. However there is one more thing I must speak to you about." Says Kai.

Just then Kristoff eagerly calls Elsa from outside the doors. "Elsa!" Kristoff waved his hand looking very excited.

"Excuse me Kai." Says Elsa.

"Of course your majesty." Says Kai as he takes a bow before the Queen.

Elsa walks towards the open doors with a smile knowing exactly what was about to happen. Elsa walks outside and greets kristoff with a big smile "Hello Kristoff how was your trip?"

"Oh it was good. But I have something to show you!" Says Kristoff as runs to his sleigh.

Anna and Elsa look at each other trying not to laugh, Elsa winks at Anna informing her that she will play along. Kristoff runs back with his giant ice block. "Ta dah! What do you think!?"

Elsa chuckles: "That's quite an impressive ice block you got there."

Kristoff looks over at Anna "You see I told you! Take a look at the edges the spotless scratches on it. You can even see clearly through it. And it even feels smooth." Elsa walks over to the ice block and feels around the ice with her hands as she glances at all the corners.

"Oh yes, I can see how great it looks. It even feels nice." Says Elsa.

Kristoff turns to Anna "See! All ice is the same! There is no difference. And I didn't have magical hands to find this beauty!" He put his right arm around the ice block hugging it like it's his best friend.

Anna smiling and looking at Kristoff points with her head to his left side. "Huh?" Kristoff turns to his left to find a even bigger ice block much cleaner and smoother than anything he's ever seen. Kristoff with his mouth wide open can't seem to believe what he's seeing. Almost like it's a dream. Anna and Elsa began to giggle. Elsa then walks towards Kristoff to talk to him.

"Yes Kristoff you are right, all ice is the same. But it depends where the ice has been and what it's gone through to produce it's final stage. This ice could've been in a very clean environment but even sometimes ice can come out imperfect depending on how you decide to retrieve it."

Then she turns to her ice block that she just made.

"But, there can be ice that has gone through so much affliction and trials and ... even loneliness. But if you treat the ice with love, compassion and patience. The ice will come out beautiful when you retrieve it."

Kristoff still has his mouth wide open in awe. Sven begins to laugh. Elsa smiles and pats Kristoffs back "Come, lets go eat." They walk all together to the dining room with the table ready for them to eat. Just then you hear a lot of dishes breaking and screaming in the kitchen. Elsa and Anna look at each other knowing exactly who that could be.

Olaf comes out of the kitchen "Kristoff and Sven are back!!!"

He runs to give Sven a hug. He then turns to Kristoff "Hello Kristoff! You don't smell so good but I'm glad your here!"

Kristoff smells himself "I don't smell do I An-" Just then he sees Elsa, Anna and Sven shake their heads yes. Olaf whispers in Kristoffs ear "It's okay we all smell sometimes."

They begin to have a wonderful breakfast full of laughter. After breakfast Anna, Elsa and Olaf leave the castle to go do their daily errands to see what the kingdom of Arendelle needs help with. Kristoff stays behind with Sven to get some much needed three days rest. They go visit the sick who might not be feeling well. They go visit schools so Queen Elsa can give a inspirational speech. They even went to the orphanage to play with the children, that was always Elsa and Anna's favorite thing to do. Olaf was much help in cheering up the sick and offering hugs to everyone. They eve went to negotiate there trades and schedules. On returning to the castle Kai is seen waiting at the door looking almost nervous. Elsa, Anna and Olaf walk up the stairs laughing and smiling after a successful day.

Kai walks towards Elsa and nervously says "You're majesty. I apologize for disturbing you but I must speak with you." Elsa and Anna look at each other confused.

"Is everything okay Kai?" Asks Elsa.

Kai takes a deep breath and says "You received a letter this morning .. it's concerning Prince Hans of the Southern Isles."

Both Anna and Elsa's eyes open wide with fear. Olaf looks up at Elsa and Anna worried. Elsa feels as if her heart falls to her stomach. She hadn't heard that name in a very long time.

"His father King Soren of the Southern Isles wrote this letter in hopes of you responding." He then gives Elsa as Elsa nervously opens the letter and begins to read it for herself.

"You're majesty. I write this urgent letter to you to inform you that my son, Hans Westergaard has been serving in prison in our kingdom for more than wtwo years.

My colleagues and I have agreed that by law we ask you, Queen Elsa to assign the punishment for Hans Westergaard. We will support whatever you choose to do with him. He is an embarrassment to our family and we have stripped the title of Prince from him.

We await your presence with hospitality and look forward to seeing your majesty."

Sincerely,

King Soren of the Southern Isles

Elsa hands begin to shake with what she just read. She stares deeply at the letter as her anxiety begins to return.

"Elsa?" Asks a concerned Anna.

Elsa then looks up to the stairs that lead to her room. "I need some time alone." Says Elsa with a worried expression.

She walks up the stairs, goes to straight her room and closes the door behind her.
