Phew! Now this chapter took me some time to think about! I had to decide on the right way to write everything!

Enjoy!

Meanwhile,
In the barn, Kristoff and Sven relax atop a pile of hay. Sven slowly dosed off to the soft strums of Kristoff's brand new lute and his humming along in soft soothing tones. Nearly dosing off himself, Kristoff let his eyes close as he lay his lute to the side. Suddenly, the door swings open and Anna crawls into the barn.

"I heard you playing!" She chirps as she crawls in on all fours. Kristoff and Sven, having been suddenly awoken, stare at her in disbelief.

"Anna, why are you crawling on the floor?" Kristoff rubs his eyes and reaches for her. He pulls her beside him on the pile of hay. She kind of sits on a flatter angle so she can breathe.

"Why are you sitting like that?" Kristoff implores as he tries to pull her back up, she just whimpers and resists.

"Wait a minute! Let me catch my breath! It took a lot of work to get here!" She holds up her hand in his face as a signal to leave her be.

"By crawling?" He asks again.

"I couldn't get down the stairs on my own, so I had to slide down them, and when I got to the bottom, I couldn't get back up. So I had to crawl instead." She says matter of factly.

"Why would you have to do that?" He asks. She shakes head and pulls at her dress,

"Because this thing is too TIGHT! And no one can get it off! It's also too LONG! So it dragged everywhere I WENT!" She exclaims out of breath. Kristoff can't help but smile at her.

"Do you have your knife on you?" She asks and Kristoff shakes his head.

"No, it's upstairs. I left it on your dresser. I didn't want to carry it around with me all day." He smiles innocently when he notices her glaring at him.

"Mmmph! How am I supposed to get back in the palace! I can't get up the stairs!" She leans her head in his shoulder and he pulls her close.

"Don't worry, I'll bring you inside." He whispers into her hair. She smiles and snuggles in closer to his chest.

"You are the best Kristoff Bjorgman." She mumbles into his shirt. They sit like that for a few moments in each others arms. She gazes out the window and notices the stars, they were shining bright tonight.

"Oh look at the stars! C'mon!" She drags herself forward and crawls to the door.

"Anna wait!" Kristoff quickly stands up and picks her up so she could stand. He notices how her skirt hangs two inches too long on the floor.

"Whoa you're right, this dress is too long..." He comments. She smiles and rushes to the door.

"C'mon!" She grabs his hand and shuffles into the chilly winter night.

"How can you walk in that thing?" He mumbles as he is being dragged behind her. She pulls him near the frozen pond and points to the reflection the stars make in the frozen water and moves her finger to point to the sky. The stars, well let's just say, the stars in Arendelle were sure a sight a see. They glittered in the night sky in a beautiful way. Anna used to love gazing out the window at night to look up at the sky, seeing as she had nothing better to do...

"Look at that view..." Kristoff whispers as he follows a shooting star across the sky.

"I know. It's wonderful isn't it?" She whispers and wraps her arms around his arm snuggling against his muscled biceps. As she gazes up at the stars, Kristoff looks down to admire her. She was the brightest star in his life. And no matter how cheesy that sounded, he didn't care, not a single bit.
Upon seeing a shadow behind him, he turned his head to find Sven standing by the barn doors wagging his tongue and nodding at Anna. Though Kristoff got the hint, he refused to listen and shook his head at Sven. The reindeer sits down and glares at Kristoff.

"I'll be right back." Kristoff pulls away from Anna and makes his way to Sven.

"No Sven, not tonight!" He hisses at his friend. In response, Sven huffs at him.

"I know you want me to, but I can't! I'll chicken out!" He whispers through gritted teeth. Sven just bucks him in the head with his antlers.

"Oww!" Kristoff rubs his forehead.

"Hello! What a beautiful night it is tonight! Am I right!" Olaf waddles up to them with a smile and open arms. Again, Sven nods in Anna's direction.

"No Sven!" Kristoff yells.

"Did you say something?!" Anna turns around upon hearing him. Kristoff whirls around and scratches his head.

"Uh, no! I'll be right there!" And as he's talking, Sven quickly slips his antler into the side pocket of Kristoff's pants and pulls out a black pouch. Inside the pouch was the ring.

"Ohhh! What's that?" Olaf reaches up and grabs the pouch when Kristoff turns back around to face them. Olaf fishes out the velvet box and pushes it open.

"Ohhhhh! That's one shiny ring!" Olaf exclaims.

"Hey! Give that back!" Kristoff's eyes practically bulge out of his head when he sees the ring and he takes it back from Olaf.

"Are you gonna do what I think you're gonna do?" Olaf raises his arms in delight.

"No, I'm no-!"

"He is! We'll go on then! Don't let us get in your way!" The snowman smiles and motions for Kristoff to return to Anna. But Kristoff remains where he is and glares at Olaf.

"Why isn't he asking?" Olaf leans over to Sven.

"Do you think he knows how to ask?" He asks again. Kristoff just rolls his eyes and crosses his arms.

"Let me help ya! Hey Anna! Kristoff's got a QUESTION to ask yooouuuuu!" Olaf yells in Anna's direction. When she turns around, Kristoff just shakes his head and moves to cover Olaf's mouth. Sven just sits there and nods.

"Really? What is it?" She asks.

"Nothing! They're just joking around!" Kristoff laughs nervously, causing a raised eyebrow from Anna. If anything, Kristoff was never the greatest liar. In fact, he isn't even a good liar at all.

"You sure?" Anna questions. When Kristoff nods again, she points behind him.

"Then why are Olaf and Sven so...excited?" She asks. Kristoff whirls around to find them nodding and pointing at his hand, the one holding the box.

"They're just...uhhh..." Kristoff loses his words. Sven rolls his eyes and starts bumping into Kristoff, prodding him to move forward.

"Wait a minute! No! Sven! Stop!" As much as Kristoff tried to hold his ground, Sven had the upper hand strength wise and continued pushing him forward.

"Uh, guys?" Anna asks as the two pass her completely.

"Sven! The ice! Stop Sven!" Kristoff yelled as they moved closer to the ice. But Sven just ignored his pleas.

"Sven! Look out for the ice! Uh, do you want a carrot?!" Anna calls and grabs his attention. But with one strong buck of his antlers so he could look forward and behind him, he sends Kristoff sliding across the pond at an uncontrollable speed.

"Whoa!" He cries while flailing his arms in every direction. Though Kristoff made his living on the ice, his skating abilities were...well...they were not the best, his clumsiness got the better of him. He tripped on a rock sticking above the ice surface and fell flat on his face with a nice 'umph'. Sven had turned his attention to Anna and had not even noticed his friend flying across the ice. But when the reindeer hears the slam of skin against ice, He notices and cringes upon seeing the accident.

"Kristoff!" Anna picks up her dress and dashes to the pond. When she reaches the edge, she steps on something hard and is wasn't the ice.

"Hmm?" She lifts her shoes and examines the snowy ground thinking it was just a small rock, but when she got a closer look, she found it to be a small cube shaped object. Little did Kristoff know, he dropped the box while being pushed by his best friend.

"What this?" She asks when she drops down on her knees and picks up the soft velvety box in her hands.
Since the late afternoon sun was setting, she had to feel around in order to figure out what is was.

"A box?" She inquires when she finds the lid and lifts it.

"Oh my gosh!" She gasps when she finds a glowing ring within the box. As she stares in awe at her finding, Sven shifts his big eyed stare between Kristoff and Anna.

"Oww" Kristoff mumbled as he pushed himself into a sitting position. He rubbed his head and hoped he didn't just suffer a head injury. With his eyes squeezed shut, he saw little yellow stars circling beneath his eyelids. When he opened his eyes, he saw more stars in the distance. He squeezed them shut again with a groan.

"Psst! I think she knows!" He overhears Olaf whisper to Sven. He turns his head around slowly and squints at the three figures standing at the edge of the pond. There was Sven and Olaf staring at him and motioning towards the third shadow huddled on the ground. With great effort, Kristoff crawled over to where she was sitting.

"Anna, are you okay?" He rubs his eyes and squints to get a closer look at her. Her eyes were wide in shock and surprise. She was staring at her hands it seemed. When Kristoff shook his head and followed her unbreakable gaze, he found her staring right at the engagement ring. His engagement ring.

"Oh uh...Anna, that's just...Anna?" He stutters and turns a new shade of red. When he places his hand on her cheek, he lifts her head to look directly at him. Her eyes slowly move from the ring in her hands to his eyes. When she is finally able to form words, she says:

"Is this yours?" With a loud gulp, Kristoff moves his hand to scratch the back of his head, a terrible nervous habit he had, and nodded.

"Kristoff, were you...were you going to...propose?" She whispered in an almost in audible tone. He looked away for a split second to gather his thoughts and nodded again.

"Really?" She asked with a tiny smile. Again Kristoff nodded, still too terrified to look her in the face.

"Kristoff look at me..." He feels her hand on his shoulder and with a deep breath, he forces himself to meet her eyes. They have a sparkle to them, and her cheeks were bright pink. It took Kristoff a few moments to realize she was crying.

"Why are crying?" He brushes her tears away with his thumb and Anna nuzzles into his warm palm.

"They're not sad tears!" She gasps through quick, uneasy breaths. She holds his hand against her cheek with her own and kisses it.

"They're happy tears?" He asks and she nods with a smile. He takes the box from her lap and examines the ring.

"Ask me? Please?" She gazes up at him. He can't help but grin as he adjusts himself to one knee.

"Uh, do you want to stand up?" He asks when he notices he had to look down to see her.

"I can't..." She shakes her head.

"I can help you up?" He offers but Anna just shakes her head faster.

"No I really can't, I'm stuck. Go on!" She giddily urges him to begin the proposal. With a deep and shaky breath, Kristoff takes one look at his princess, and all of his cares fall away.

"Anna, my Princess, my best friend, the love of my life. I've been in love with you since the moment you barged into that barn throwing rope and carrots at my face. Before I met you, all I wanted was to be by myself. Now, I can't imagine myself anywhere else but by your side. You've thrown my life upside down, literally! It only made me love you even more. Anna, will you give me the honor of being my wife? Will you marry me?" The second he finished his proposal Anna threw herself at him.

"YES! I BILLION TRILLION TIMES YES!" she exclaims after basically attacking him. They fell back in the snow laughing. Laying on top of him, he slips the glowing ring into her ring finger. The glow of the already soft glowing jewel intensified when it found its place on her finger.

"I love you Kristoff!" She held her left hand tightly to her chest. Sighing in relief, he reaches up and strokes her cheek with his thumb.

"I love you too." He whispers.

"Awwwwww, how romantic!" Olaf perks up from beside Sven. Olaf was tightly hugging Sven's neck.

"I think I'm gonna cry! It's so...beautiful! Almost like a summer day!" He acts as if he's tearing up. Sven wags his tongue and smiles happily.

"How about we head inside? It's a bit chilly out here." Kristoff suggests and Anna complies, rolling off of him. He picks himself off the ground and turns to pick her up princess style.

"You two will be okay?" Kristoff asks.

"Yeah! You go!" Olaf winks and shoos them off. Kristoff turns around and makes his way to the entrance of the palace with Anna in his arms.

"You're an excellent dancer." Elsa comments as she and John make their way off the dance floor.

"Thank you, was that your first time slow dancing?" He smiles and leads her towards the buffet table.

"My very first, yes." She sighs.

"Well you were great, for your first time!" He offers her a glass of champagne and she gladly accepts.

"So how long do these parties usually last?" He takes a sip out of his glass.

"They can go on for as long as they like. I usually just need to give the command. But we don't close the gates, so the guests can stay for as long as they like." She smiles at him.

"Are you leaving after tonight?" She asks. He shakes his head with a laugh.

"No, I'll be staying until the morning or late afternoon at the most. My captain has a fear if sailing at night. Should've seen him on our way here, he was a mess." He shakes his head.

"I have a fear if sailing at all." Elsa whispers so only he can hear. His smile fades and he looks at her with eyes of sympathy.

"You're parents. I'm sorry." He says in a soft tone. Elsa smiled and quickly thinks up another topic.

"Well, will you come by the palace tomorrow? Or will this be the last time I see you?" She blurts out with much effort. Way to change the subject, seeing how it has been bugging her that she might never see those gorgeous eyes ever again. His knee-shaking smile returns and he leans in slightly closer to her.

"Well, that depends. Do you want this to be the last time we see each other?" He whispers in his deep voice.

I hope that didn't completely drag on And I hope you guys liked it!

We'll be getting soooo much more drama in the next few chapters...I've just got to write them first.

Please tell me what you think! I must hear opinions!

And I hope they're good opinions too!

thanks!
