AN: Sorry for the long wait! I've been going through writer's block and reality... Here's the new chapter! :)
Disclaimer: I do not own RotG and/or Frozen.
"Alright, Olaf." Anna peeked from the inside of the room. "You know what to do."
"Yes. Yes, I do know what to do." Olaf giggled. "I will surprise Elsa with-"
"Shh!" Anna put a finger over her mouth. "Don't reveal the surprise." Anna peeked through the small crevice once more. "I think she'll be coming any moment."
And Elsa did. She walked gallantly down the hallway with grace and beauty, strands of her hair falling on her face. Anna and Olaf giggled as Elsa neared the room.
"Quick, hide!" Anna quickly hid behind a large bookcase.
Olaf, on the other hand, hid behind a table in the corner. "She won't be able to see me from here," he whispered to himself.
Elsa pushed open the door to her office and pushed strands of hair behind her ear. She was looking down at a piece of paper in her hands with her brows furrowed together.
"Surprise!" Anna shouted as she pulled a rope that released confetti and a banner. The banner read: Happy Birthday! She ran out and gave her sister a quick hug.
"Surprise!" Olaf ran out as well and the two sisters gave him a warm hug.
"Anna," Elsa looked around in shock. "Did you do this yourself?"
"Well, I had help from Olaf and Sven and Kristoff." She chuckled. "This is a gift from Kristoff and me." She handed the queen a small purple box.
"Thank you, but-"
"And this is from me!" Olaf stuck out his arms and in his hands was a flower crown.
"Thank you, Olaf." Elsa crouched down and Olaf set it on her head. As she stood back up, the flowers were covered in a soft frost that glittered in the light.
"Anna, thank you," Elsa faced her sister. "But you should really be getting to your own duties as princess."
"I know," Anna said. "But being your sister is more important than being a princess."
Elsa smiled. Anna smiled as well. Elsa did not know it, but she was beautiful when she smiled.
"Anna, Olaf, thank you." Elsa set the small purple box on her desk. "But we really need to hurry with preparations for winter."
"What preparations do you need me to help with?" Anna asked with enthusiasm.
"I need someone to write a letter to the new duke . . ." Elsa trailed off as she saw all the spirit drain from Anna's face. "Well, I also need someone to taste-test the food for the Christmas Banquet."
"Ooh!" Anna's face lit up and her turquoise blue eyes sparkled. "Can I do the chocolate?"
Elsa chuckled. "As long as you leave some for the guests."
"Just some, okay," Anna said.
"Most," Elsa laughed.
"Christmas?" Olaf asked.
"What? You've never heard of it?" Anna asked.
"Nope," he answered.
"Alright, then." Anna ushered Olaf to the chairs placed in front of Elsa's desk. "I'll tell you about Christmas."
"Is it warm?"
"Well . . ." Anna tried to grasp a concept Olaf would understand. "It's warm, but only inside homes where the fires are lit and everyone is served hot food and drinks."
Olaf gasped. "I like the sound of it, already. What about outside?"
"Cold," Anna answered. "It's snowing hard on Christmas. You can play in it and come in to find a cup of hot chocolate waiting for you to warm you up."
"What about the banquet?"
"It's tradition for Arendelle to invite royal and noble families to come and have a huge feast and party with us."
"Does anything else happen?"
Anna suddenly blanked out.
"There's the huge decorating of the Christmas tree." Elsa saved her. "Families bring one or two ornaments to hang on the tree. Once they have finished hanging ornaments, I am supposed to top the tree with a golden star ornament."
"Ooh, it sounds wonderful," Olaf clapped his hands out of excitement. "Anything else?"
"After decorating the tree we all exchange Christmas presents with everyone. We all get a present and we all give a present." Anna smiled.
"There's presents?" Olaf asked with a smile.
"But that's not all." Elsa smiled as Olaf smiled. "That's what happens on Christmas Eve. The magic really happens on Christmas Day."
"What happens on Christmas Day?" Olaf was shaking from excitement (or he was probably melting, but let's be optimistic here).
"The night of Christmas Eve, while everyone is asleep," Elsa explained, "a man in a red suit comes to give us even more gifts. But that's only for those who have been good boys and girls."
"So if I be good, will he give me a present?" Olaf asked.
"Maybe," Elsa answered.
"Oh, he'll definitely get a present. Olaf is never bad," Anna said.
"What's the man's name?" Olaf asked.
Elsa smiled. She opened her mouth to answer but something kept her from speaking.
"His name," Anna answered, "is Santa Claus."
AN: I hope Santa delivers those presents, because he just got another believer. I hope you like this chapter! :) Hope to see you next time!
