A/N: now that I think about it, that first chapter was kinda a prologue. Oh well... Thanks for reading! It will get even more exciting. So here we go- on with the story!

3 Months Later

Anna POV

The first rays of sunlight stream through the windows, and I groggily open my eyes. Squinting in the light, I yawn slightly and run a hand through my tangled hair.

Something important is happening today. Something very important.

I rack my brain and try to remember. Oh well. I slowly get out of bed and grab the dress closest to me. Without thinking, I begin to put it on when- that's it! Kristoff's coming home!

I look down and see the dress I'm wearing. It has a stain on the side of the skirt and a thread is coming loose. No, I am not wearing that.

I yank the dress off and throw it back into the closet. Rummaging around, I finally find a newer dress and quickly put that on, plait my hair, and burst into the hall. I skip around the corner and promptly run into Elsa.

"Kristoff's coming home!" I say to her, laughing with delight. "He's been gone for so long and he's coming home!" Elsa laughs a little too, but her expression is serious. "Anna, I need to talk to you for a little bit."

"About what?" I panic a little bit. Had something happened to Kristoff? Elsa notices my expression. "Don't worry, it's not about Kristoff." She sighs a little and begins once more, "I have just received news that-"

"You called?" I turn around and am greeted by a mountain of jackets, snow, and flesh. "Kristoff!" I scream and throw myself into his arms. Of course, I did so with all my might, and it didn't seem to faze him.

He chuckles. "Woah there. Wouldn't want me to break a leg right when we see each other again, now would we?" Even so, he puts an arm around my shoulders. "Anna, I really need to speak to you." Elsa's voice is urgent. I had forgotten about whatever she wanted to speak to me about.

"Ok, sure," I say, not moving from my spot. "Alone," Elsa says firmly.

"Oh, umm..." I glance up at Kristoff.

Elsa adds, "Oh, of course I don't have anything against you, Kristoff. I just want Anna to know first. She may tell you afterwards, if she wishes."

Kristoff nods. "I think I'm going to go change out of this clothes, then I'll come right back here and wait for you." He smiles and heads off in the direction of his room.

"Anna, let's go to my study. the only other person who knows about this is Kai and I would prefer to not be overheard by the other servants," Elsa says. I follow her down the hall.

Elsa POV

"The only other person who knows about this is Kai and I would prefer to not be overheard by the other servants," I say, turning on my heel and walking down the hall. Anna follows me. We reach my study and I hold open the door for Anna, then step inside myself and close it.

"So, what was it you wanted to tell me?" Anna asks, taking a seat in one of the armchairs.

I take a deep breath. "News has reached me that a prince of the Southern Isles has been traveling, looking for employment."

"Why would they need employment? Aren't they already royalty?" Anna looks confused.

"I'm not done yet. Anyway, after the damage Hans did to Arendelle, the people of the Southern Isles staged a rebellion and overthrew the government, particularly the king. However, it wasn't safe for the other princes to be there, and they all took different approaches on the situation. Some ran to the countryside, some disowned themselves of royalty. But this prince, Prince Harald, decided to travel to neighboring kingdoms looking for a job."

Anna looks puzzled. "Annnnnd, your point is?"

"He's coming here today, Anna! He's going to be looking for employment in Arendelle!"

"Oh. Ohhhhh!" Now Anna looks alarmed. "What are we going to do about it?"

"Of course, being the queen, I must go meet him at the docks and offer him hospitality. I suppose I better see if he is anything like Hans as well, if he is even worth offering a job to."

"Just be careful. Please," Anna says, a hint of fear in her voice. "If he tries too hurt you, freeze him."

"I know how to take care of myself Anna." I smile a little. "Well, I'd better go. His ship is supposed to arrive around midday." I open the door and step out into the hallway. Anna follows. I bid her goodbye and walk towards the front entrance.

Anna POV

I stand in the hallway, watching Elsa's retreating figure. A prince of the Southern Isles is coming here? I walk back down the hall, back to where Kristoff was. He's still standing there, absentmindedly playing with thread on his clothing. He's changed too, luckily. I clear my throat.

He gives a start and notices me. "Glad you're back!" He then sees my grim expression. "Soooo. Anything you want to tell me?"

"We need someplace private," I say.

"How about our balcony?" Kristoff asks.

"That's a great place." I grab his hand and pull him down the hall. "Come on. We have a lot to talk about."

A/N: I know... Kinda seems typical. Prince of the Southern Isles comes to Arendelle. It will get more exciting and it will get different, you'll see. Please read and review!
