Hi, guys! Sorry it's a few hours late today, but well, I still met my Wednesday deadline, so I'm satisfied. :P I'm really not gonna spoil anything for you guys, so quit asking for spoilers, 'kay? But to answer a few questions.

-Maleficent is DEFINITELY part of the happenings, but then, what kind of crossover would this be if there was only one villain involved?

-Ralph and Vanellope will play a big part later on (There will probably be shipping involved, does anyone have issues with that?)

-Besides Pixar, I don't plan on including any characters outside of the Animated Canon.

So. Enjoy!


The sun was especially bright this morning. Its rays shone right through the window and into Anna's face. That was the last thing she wanted right now. She groaned, ducking her head under the covers. Morning already? Why couldn't the sun let her sleep in a little longer? They had been out so late last night. Watching the fireworks, eating snacks (those cookies!), hanging out with Belle…

And then she remembered. The invitation. The brunch! THE BRUNCH! Suddenly she couldn't bring herself to sleep anymore. She peeked at the clock by the bedside. It was a weird clock that just showed numbers instead of having any hands. It was kinda hard to get used to. "7:45…" So early?! The brunch wasn't for two hours! She couldn't wait that long! What was she supposed to do until then?

With so much energy and nowhere to use it, she started to shake Elsa awake. "Psst! Elsa! Pssssssst!"

Elsa groggily turned over. "What is it…?"

"Elsa, I'm bored," she whined.

"And?"

"Wanna go do something fun?"

She yawned. "Like what? We can't get away with making a snowman in here…"

"Well, um…" She tapped her chin. "We could…go to the pool! Or the spa! Yeah, that would be fun."

A visit to the spa after the chaos that was yesterday did sound pleasant. She sat up and stretched, trying to wake herself up. "Okay then. Just let me get dressed and I'll…"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. "Who could it be this early?" Elsa wondered.

"I'll get it!" Anna exclaimed as she ran over and swung the door open. Standing there was Sydney, their guide from yesterday morning! "Oh! Hi, Sydney!" she smiled.

"Hello, your highness!" Sydney cheerfully replied. "I take it you're looking forward to your gathering with the other princesses tonight."

"Oh, you have no idea." She laughed. "So what cha here for?"

"We were just about to bring you down to pick out your outfits," she explained.

"Our outfits?" She squealed. "That's great! Come on, Elsa!" she said, grabbing her sister's hand.

Elsa hesitated. "Right now? I-In our pajamas?" She hadn't even gotten the chance to style her hair…

Sydney nodded. "That's totally fine!"

"Um, okay then." She still wished she had some time to straighten herself up a bit, but Anna was pulling her out the door and through the hallway before she could make a single move.

Down the elevator they went, through the lobby and across the street into another building next to the main one. The spa wasn't too far inside from the entrance. And it looked wonderful! Just peeking inside made Anna feel at peace. Elsa seemed to like it, too…though it was hard to tell, since she just woke up. But Sydney just kept on walking, and she had to follow. Obviously they weren't going to the spa today, then.

That was when she saw it: Ivy Trellis Salon. A beauty salon! That made a little more sense, she supposed. Maybe she could get hair done up all fancy like she did for the coronation. That'd be so cool!

Sydney led them into the salon, rushing them past other customers inside. Soon, the sisters were greeted by nothing but a very large, fancy pair of doors. If just the doors looked like that, something really special had to be inside.

"What do ya think is in there, Elsa?" Anna whispered.

Elsa tried to shake off her grogginess. Usually she was better about keeping alert… "Well, they did say they would have clothes for us," she guessed.

"Yeah, you're probably right," she agreed. That green dress from before had been absolutely perfect. Sure, trying on dresses was SUPER fun, but was there really one out there that could top that favorite?

Well…there was only one way to find out! Just as she was about to push the doors open, however, someone else opened them for her, and she fell face flat onto the floor.

Elsa ran up to help her up. "Woah! You all right?"

Getting back up and recovering from that fall was easy. "Yeah, I'm totally fine!" she smiled.

"Good," she chuckled, ruffling her sister's hair. She pushed her forward. "Now hurry up and pick something out!"

Anna gasped. She'd never seen so many dresses in one place in her entire life! Blue ones, pink ones, gold and silver ones, ones decked out in glitter and sequins… It was so much that she couldn't contain her excitement, and leapt into the air repeatedly. She could keep herself busy for hours in here!

Elsa laughed seeing her sister so ecstatic. Now she could have a little time to get herself ready, too. An employee approached her just as she was about to head to the restroom.

"Your majesty, are you sure you don't need anything?"

"No, thank you. I can take care of everything myself," she replied with a smile.

He gave her an odd look, but shrugged it off quickly. "Okay, if you say so…"

And with that, she calmly walked into the small bathroom. Finally, Elsa got a private space, where nobody could gawk at her. Now she could sort out exactly what she wanted to do for this outfit…

That time she had created her first ice dress had been one of the best moments of her life. To be her own queen, take on the world…at least, the world surrounding the North Mountain. Things had changed a lot since then, but she was still very fond of that creation. It felt like something that reflected her perfectly. But then, she had been wearing the same thing repeatedly for two months now. Maybe it wouldn't hurt to change things up today.

Ice crystals started to gather around her feet as she fleshed out the image in her mind. Maybe something a little easier to maneuver this time? Yes, maybe a slightly wider skirt. The slit from before had been convenient, but she knew if she was really active, it could also result in some parts of her being visible that she'd really rather not be visible. Something sleeveless would be cute, too! She hadn't tried that yet. Finish it off with a bit of layering…

In a little over a second, she was in a sparkling new gown that looked worthy of the fanciest of evening galas. Her hair and makeup magically fell into place as snowflakes spread through the air. This should impress the others, she thought to herself, although she still had her doubts.

With nothing else to do now, she stood outside the dressing room door and waited for Anna to finish up. Not surprisingly, it took her sister a lot longer to get ready. After all, she had to do things the non-magical way.

Finally, the princess twirled out in a lovely velveteen dress – something that looked a little more mature for her than usual, though maybe that was on purpose. Anna stopped being occupied with her own new look once she laid eyes on Elsa.

"Oh my gosh! You look gorgeous!" she exclaimed, throwing her arms out to her. "This one's even better than the other one!"

Elsa laughed, blushing. Anna was always so enthusiastic with her compliments. "Thank you! You look great, too."

This time it was Anna's turn to blush. "Well, sure, but it's still nothing compared to how you look…"

"Anna, you're wonderful." She put a hand on her shoulder. "Besides, it'd be really weird if you tried to dress like me."

"Oh, would it?" She snickered imagining how awkward it would be if she were to do something like that. "I know, I know. I wouldn't wanna tread on your territory or anything."

"It's not that!" she exclaimed. It was only recently that she realized how hard on herself Anna could be. And she had thought she was the carefree one for all these years… "I mean, you have no reason to. You're fine just being Anna."

Anna smiled. "I just wish the rest of Arendelle thought that."

"The rest of Arendelle does," she reassured her. "Sure, I get more attention, but they do talk about you. And they all say good things."

She raised an eyebrow. "Really?"

"Yes, of course! I wouldn't lie about something like this."

There was a long pause. For a moment, Elsa was worried her sister still didn't believe her, or worse, she'd offended her somehow. Or both. A breeze picked up around her. Was there anything she could say to make this better?

Then, before she even noticed it, Anna squeezed her arms around her tight. "W-Woah! Hold on!" she said, trying to catch her breath.

Anna even managed to pick her up and spin her around somehow. Had she learned that from Kristoff? She didn't know she was that strong. "You're the best, Elsa. You know that?" she said with the biggest smile on her face.

Elsa couldn't help but beam back. "No," she responded, pointing a finger at her sister's chest. "You are."

The girls were escorted to a private monorail car so they'd have plenty of room and their dresses wouldn't be squashed and wrinkled. After yesterday, the thought of being on the monorail at all was a little nerve-wracking. Still, they were in a good mood now, and that helped them keep calm. Besides, the trip was a lot shorter this time around. Their destination: the Magic Kingdom.


"Elsa, look at the castle!"

"Yes, Anna, I see it."

"It's really beautiful," Anna sighed dreamily. The silvers and golds and blues looked so pretty in the sunlight. She gasped to herself. "We should totally paint our castle in those colors!"

"You think so?" she laughed. "I don't know how the other people in the kingdom would feel about that."

"But then the castle would match the rest of you," she pointed out, gesturing to her dress.

"Hmm… Close, but not quite. It'd need a lot more glitter."

Anna giggled. "A LOT more glitter is right!"

"So, ready to go in?" Elsa asked.

"Of course!"

The main corridor of the castle was decorated with vividly colored pictures in mosaic tiles on the walls. The sisters soon recognized them as parts of the story of Cinderella. Unfortunately, they were escorted through the halls before they had much time to look at them any closer.

The first part of the place they passed seemed to be some sort of restaurant, or at least a banquet hall. People filled every table, and amazing smells wafted around just at face level. Whoever the cooks were here, they must've been really skilled! Not that their own cooks weren't great as well…

At last, they arrived to a private room with an especially large table – and said table was occupied by nearly every princess they had learned about in the previous days. There was Belle, and Rapunzel, Cinderella, Ariel, Tiana… Elsa's eyes were as wide as saucers, and Anna's jaw dropped wide open.

"Look! They're here!" one cried out.

"They're here, they're here!"

"Finally!"

Without warning, a bunch of them shot out of the seats and crowded around the sisters. While Anna was eager to join the group, Elsa backed against the wall. "One at a time, please!"

Seeing her sister's distress, Anna managed to get the girls to stay quiet. "Don't come on too hard, okay? She's still kinda nervous about this," she whispered.

"Aww!" Ariel made a worried pout. "Do you need some time by yourself first?"

"N-No, I'll be fine," she said, trying relaxing herself. "It just caught me off guard, is all."

Anna hugged Elsa's arm. "So where do we sit?" Aurora smiled and led them to their chairs.

Watching all the movies separately, you didn't quite get a full grasp of how colorful a group it was. Dresses from all sorts of different cultures were worn, in every color conceivable. And that wasn't saying anything about the variations in personality on display. Some chatting their lips off, others calmly responding to the conversation at hand, others still too occupied with other things to pay attention at all. Still, you got the feeling that these people had known each other for ages. How long would it take them to get to that point?

One of them clapped, and they immediately stopped talking. Cinderella started the discussions. "Well then, why don't you two introduce yourselves?"

A self-introduction, huh? Where to start? Anna spoke up before Elsa could sort it out.

"Well, uh, hi. I'm Anna. From Arendelle." Making this up as she went along was tougher than usual. For some reason, being around all these great people intimidated her a bit. "I've been here for two days now. And it's been a lot of fun! This place really seems HUGE! I sure hope I get to do everything that's here."

Snow White chuckled. "It takes a long time to do everything," she explained.

"I know…" Anna pouted.

Elsa smirked. "Knowing you, I bet you could do it."

She laughed. "You think so? Then I'll make that my goal for the next few weeks," she said, pounding a fist on the table in her determination.

"That's an interesting goal," she remarked with a giggle.

Cinderella grinned; they seemed to get along really well. But they couldn't let conversation slow things down right now. "And how about your sister?"

"Okay…" Just do the same as Anna did. It can't be that hard… "I'm Elsa. I became queen of Arendelle fairly recently, and I think I've gotten adjusted to it." And what else? "Um… I have ice powers. I guess you might've already known that. Most people find out through word of mouth. It can get kind of awkward, but…" Great, now she was rambling. Focus, focus! "B-But anyway! I hope I can get to know you all well." And with that, she ran out of things to say. That was terrible, she thought to herself.

But the other princesses didn't seem to think anything of it. In fact, they seemed very enthusiastic once introductions came to a close. Elsa blushed with a smile; Anna was grinning from ear to ear. "You did great," she whispered into her sister's ear.

Elsa smiled more easily now. "Thanks. You did, too."

Merida suddenly learned forward. "Can ye show us a bit o' yer magic?"

She blinked. "Right now? Right…here?" she asked.

"Yes!" The others nodded.

"Well…okay then…." Part of her felt like this was a bad idea – after all, she'd been more cautious about using her powers in this Disney World place, and she didn't know how people would react. On the other hand, this group definitely had prior experience with magic. And they all seemed really friendly so far. It was worth a try.

Slowly, she let miniature flurries form in the palms of her hands. What could she do to impress them? There were always spirals and whirlwinds and fancy snowflakes that could create quite the spectacle. But then, this wasn't a very large room, and those kinds of things required a lot of space to pull off. If she was going to do something on a smaller scale, maybe a more practical trick would be best. But not TOO practical... Something decorative would be perfect!

From there, the remaining nerves were easy to shake off. She set a hand on the table, a large snowflake laying spreading outward. As she moved it upwards, a miniature fountain of ice formed itself effortlessly. Once the spell was finished, a magnificent centerpiece was left on the dining table.

At first, nobody said a word, though eyes were wide as saucers and mouths were gaping. Elsa tried not to worry. What were they thinking right now? It had gone well, hadn't it? Or would they have a negative reaction regardless? The silence became more awkward the longer it went on, but Elsa was too nervous to speak up. Then finally, something happened…

One of the princesses started applauding. Startled, Elsa turned toward the sound; it was Rapunzel. And one by one, the others joined in as well. Now the queen was blushing more than ever. Even Anna started shouting and cheering, making her crack up. "Th-Thank you," she managed to get out as she finished laughing.

"You're very welcome, Miss Elsa!" Cinderella grinned. What a unique addition she would be to the group. "I'm very curious now. What exactly is your story?"

"Story? My story?"

"Both of you," she replied. "Please, tell us everything you can remember."

"Everything?!" So she was supposed to blurt out her life story now? There were some painful memories that she wasn't sure she wanted to go into… "I wouldn't even know where to start," she admitted.

"We should start with your coronation," Anna suggested.

She looked at her sister. "Are you sure? There was a lot that happened before that, too."

"Well, we don't wanna bore 'em with that much detail," she explained. "To be honest, everything before the coronation is kind of a blur anyway."

Elsa's heart sank thinking of how miserable those days were. "Yeah…I guess we should start from my coronation, then." After all, she had just met these people; it would be awful if they had to be bombarded with everything this early on. Maybe when they got to know one another a little better, she'd feel more comfortable talking about it.

So the girls started to relay the day of the coronation and the events that followed, improvising off each other as they went along. At some point, a group of waiters waltzed their way into the room and served various meats, salads, and pastries to act as their brunch. The food was delicious, and that helped both of them stay cheerful. Nevertheless, emotional moments became more frequent as the story progressed…

Finally, they came to the climax. "And so I ran to her. I-It was really hard to run at that point. I don't know how I even managed," Anna recalled. Her hand was tight around Elsa's; she knew these memories were still painful for her. Every once in a while she had to glance over, just to make sure nothing was freezing over. Maybe she was underestimating her sister, but then, she needed to be ready if she needed her.

Every other princess was leaning in with anticipation. "And then?" Belle muttered.

She sighed. "I got there just in time, but…" She stopped; what was the best way to phrase it? She knew how she experienced it was different from what everyone else saw at that moment…

"She…froze," Elsa mustered the courage to continue. "Solid ice…"

A collective gasp filled the room. The queen's grip was starting to get colder now. Better hurry up to the happy ending now. "But then I unfroze, 'cause my act of love fixed everything! And Elsa unfroze Arendelle and everything was just fine. The end!" An awkward grin spread on her face. That had been really rushed, hadn't it? Still, she hoped it'd reduced the tension at least a little.

Aurora was the first to speak up. "That was a fantastic story!" Other princesses chimed in to agree. Soon everyone was raving so enthusiastically that the girls could barely hear themselves think.

Anna took the opportunity to have a more private conversation. "Hey, sis, everything okay?" she whispered.

Elsa made eye contact for the first time in a while. "Yeah, thanks, Anna," she smiled. "Don't feel like you have to rush it for me next time, okay? I need to learn to handle this eventually."

"Well, okay. If you really want me to." Maybe recently, she'd become oversensitive to Elsa's concerns. She'd made such an effort to improve with all the awful selfish things she did before, but was she too far on the other end of the spectrum now? Was she starting to be overbearing? Though she guessed now wasn't the time to be thinking too hard about it.

It seemed like an eternity before the constant chatter finally died down. It was amazing how these people could go from rowdy to calm and poised in seconds flat.

"I think that's everything we need to know?" Snow White started.

Cinderella nodded. "That's just about everything."

"Everything for what?" Elsa interrupted.

Their smiles widened. "Anna and Elsa…" she continued. "We would be honored if you both agreed to join the Disney Princesses."

"Disney Princesses?" Anna repeated. "What does that mean?"

Rapunzel spoke up this time. She had been one of the quieter ones through this whole thing, and Anna was happy to finally get to hear her. "Basically, it means you get to be part of our little group," she explained with a cute smile. "And have tea parties and go to dances…"

"Ooh, that sounds fun!" Anna remarked, doing a little clap.

She paused. "Well…it's not all fun. There's some work, too."

"Oh…" That was a little disappointing, but then, she should've seen it coming. "Well, then what kind of work?"

"Mostly meeting guests. Especially the children!" Ariel piped in. "But besides that, there's acting in plays and being in parades. It's all really fun, actually! At, least, I think so."

"Woah!" That hadn't been what she was expecting when she heard 'work.' She bounced in her seat. "That sounds even funner…er…more fun."

"It does sound nice," Elsa agreed. Though she still found herself getting nervous at public appearances, and this place had many, many more people than Arendelle. And then, of course, they were only going to be here for two weeks. How frequent were these visits going to be? "Um, how often will we have to do these things?" she asked.

"Pretty whenever you'd like…more or less," Cinderella answered. "The event organizers can get really demanding around major holidays, but you do learn not to pay any attention to them. If any of us aren't participating, they can get substitutes easily."

"I see…" So it wouldn't be a major obstacle to running the kingdom. Then there weren't any problems left to discuss, were there? "I think that sounds fine," she finally concluded. Anna squealed.

"Then we welcome you!" And suddenly, the princesses were crowding around them again. Elsa was feeling claustrophobic. "Um, please back up just a little bit…" And when they failed to do so, she backed up herself.

It was at that moment that she felt something tug on her cape. She jumped, thinking one of the girls had stepped on it…but there was nobody there, just the wall. Gosh, Elsa, quit being so paranoid. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down…

When something pulled on her cape again. She took another quick glance back, and there was still nobody there…at least, that's what it looked like at first. Soon she noticed the shadows on the wall were in a strange shape, almost like somebody was there to cast it. But of course, there wasn't…

She heard someone mutter, "Oh no…"

The thing pulled harder. She gasped; no matter how hard she tugged back, it wouldn't let go. Soon another grabbed her skirt, and another pulled her braid hard. At this point she was freaking out, and ice was splaying everywhere, but even as the walls froze over it had no effect on the creatures.

Anna tried to grab her sister, but the shadows threatened to lash out at her as well. "What's going on?!"

"The shadow man…" Tiana thrust a candle out from off the table, repelling the creatures with a shriek. Anna cringed at the sound. She remembered now, the man who controlled voodoo spirits. It was all so much scarier in real life.

At that moment, Elsa was freed, and took the time to catch her breath. She sure looked worn out… "A-Are you okay, sis?" Anna stuttered.

"Yeah…I'm fine…" she replied in between breaths, letting her ice dissipate.

Everyone in the room was on edge now. "Do you think they'll come back?" Snow White worried.

"Not if we can help it," Tiana answered. "Everybody get extra candles, just in case he tries something again." With that, she flicked a light switch and the once dim room was brightened significantly. Anna shielded her eyes. "Wow! That is bright!"

"Better than the shadows bein' able to lurk around." The candles the others brought soon removed any remaining dark spaces from the area. "There have been strange things goin' on lately. First the monorail, now this…and rides have been breakin' all over!"

"Really?" Anna's eyes widened.

"I-Is there anything we can to do help?" Elsa asked. "I really owe you one for saving me."

The princess paused to think of what they could do, but nothing came to mind. "If they targeted you just now, no doubt they'll try again," she concluded. "The best thing you can do right now is stay on your toes. And try to keep on the low down. If you stick out too much, they'll have no trouble finding you."

"All right, that sounds reasonable," she agreed, although in her head she was worried sick. They'd come here to relax and let some fun, and now they were possibly in danger? Some vacation this was! But when she looked back at Anna, she seemed to calm down quickly, so maybe it wouldn't be too big of a problem. She'd just have to find a way to calm down, too. But how could she, when one of those things could be hiding around any corner to try and swipe her again? The other princesses seemed to wander off to recover from the incident , but she was too deep in thought to leave her spot against the wall.

"Elsa?" Anna asked. "Are you sure you're okay?"

"Huh?" She looked over. "Yes, I'm fine, really. Just a little on edge, maybe…"

"I know! That was so creepy…" She felt bad that she couldn't help more. But if even Elsa couldn't fight them, those were standards nobody could meet anyway. "But everyone here seems like they know what they're doing," she remarked. "Besides, if it was a surprise this time, they'll know to keep on the lookout from now on."

Elsa paused. "That's true. For the most part." Hadn't that one man messed up the force field? She certainly hoped mistakes like that didn't happen often.

Her sister put a hand on her shoulder. "Don't let it get to you, okay? It's so nice out! The sun is calling us! 'Come plaaaay,' it says. 'Come have some fuuuun!'"

She laughed, then thought for a moment. It was nice now, that much was true, but it wouldn't be so bright later in the day. "We need to buy extra candles for when night falls," she ordered. "Just in case."

"Of course, of course!" How many candles were they gonna need, anyhow? She had wanted to buy herself some souvenirs, and everything seemed so expensive here. And they couldn't carry those around in the rides… "But I don't know how long those'll last."

"Enough to last through the night should be fine," she clarified.

"Oh, okay!"

"And I promise, I won't be paranoid the whole day," she assured Anna. Whether that was a promise she could actually keep, she wasn't entirely sure. But she had to give it a try.

Anna smirked. "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure!" she answered with an eyeroll.

"Then let's go! Come on!" She grabbed her sister's hand, and before she knew it, they were outside the castle entrance again, prepared to spend the day having a blast – even if they were still in their gowns and heels...
