"Come on, my little one…it's time to get up" Elsa said softly to the precious bundle in her arms. The small girl stirred slightly.
"But mama, I'm comfy" Rosetta chirped sleepily.
"Yes, I know love…but we have things to do. Come on….don't fight me." The Queen continued gently.
"I don't wanna get out of bed…you're nice and warm" the child's statement. With that, the Queen giggled and lowered her body temperature. The child yelped and hopped out of bed.
"COLD COLD COLD!" Rosetta cried out repeatedly.
"Well, I tried to wake you up nicely but you didn't obey me the first time dear" Elsa said. She looked at her daughter who had an annoyed look on her face.
"Do you forgive me?" Elsa asked with a hint of playfulness in her voice. Rosetta stood up straight.
"As the new Queen, no I will not forgive you…you've been bad and need a time out" Rosetta said while wagging her finger. Elsa moved towards her. Rosetta tried to flee but her mother was faster. Elsa pinned her back on the bed.
"Are you sure about that?" Elsa challenged her victim. Before Rosetta could answer, she lifted the girl's shirt.
'No…not the tummy, please mama, anything but the tummy" Rosetta begged. Elsa ignored her and blew a raspberry into the child's stomach. The small girl laughed uncontrollably and the queen began to tickle Rosetta's sides.
"M-mama, t-that tickles!" Rosetta squealed.
"That's the point. Now who is the queen?" Elsa demanded playfully. Rosetta squeaked an inaudible sentence. Elsa pressed on the assault on her helpless target.
"I can't hear you" Elsa chimed. She momentarily ceased her bombardment.
"you're the queen, mama" Rosetta said catching her breath.
"and don't you forget it" Elsa commanded while poking her daughter's belly, causing the latter to giggle.
At the throne room, Elsa's bubbly demeanor vanished as she remembered the task at hand.
"Allan, where can we find mentallos?" Elsa asked her friend. He was about to respond when a strange cackle was heard throughout the castle.
"hehe, haha, hoho, I am Mentallos. I'm here, I'm there, I'm everywhere and I'm nowhere!" a strange man said. He was about seven feet tall, and as skinny as a pencil. In one of his long arms, he held an umbrella.
"Mama, is he a nice clown?" Rosetta asked looking to her mother for answers. Elsa shook her head.
"I don't think so, sweetheart." Elsa answered. Mentallos began to mime in front of them.
"Hehehehehe if you want my umbrella, you'll have to catch me if you can…but you can't." The demented jester sang before turning around and fleeing. Elsa began to charge after him but she ran smack dab into an invisible wall.
"He's gotten stronger…I didn't know he could make walls by miming." Allan said. Elsa looked to the stairs and decided to go around the barrier. She climbed up the stairs and ran into Mentallos once again.
"Hohoho, you can't catch me!" he said and he pointed his umbrella at her and ice shot at her. She did not even bother trying to dodge. Instead she just absorbed it and then shot her own ice at the clown. Her foe blocked the ice beam with his umbrella
"The cold never bothered me anyway." The jester mocked. Elsa retaliated with her ice sword. It did not even dent the umbrella.
"Aww…can't hit me? Good!" He smacked her with the umbrella. She was rubbing her sore head as he ran off. She was right on his heels.
"You'll get a bang out of this!" He cackled and with that, he tossed a ball at her. It rolled to her feet. She looked at it skeptically before it shot out smoke in all directions. Elsa coughed and wheezed while desperately trying to wave the smoke away.
"Now that's a gas!" Mentallos cackled. He was running when Rosetta stuck her foot out. He tripped over it
"They will see me in the fall" , he said before dropping his umbrella. The Queen took the Umbrella and made a beeline for the throne.
"How did you get the umbrella?" Anthrax growled.
"Don't be a sore loser" Elsa replied before handing him the umbrella.
Elsa demanded the next task, but of course, Anthrax denied her an answer. So Elsa decided to take advantage of her luck and play with Anna and Rosetta. The three had snowball fights, built a record shattering number of snowmen. Krisoff and Olaf even joined in before Kristoff had to return to the mountains for yet another long ice run. Elsa saw her child yawn.
"It's time for bed sweetie." Elsa chimed. Rosetta pouted and shook her head.
"I'm not sleepy" she said before yawning again. Elsa giggled at how cute she was.
"Yes you are little one" she said calmly.
"But I want to play in the snow more" Rosetta whined.
"You have been in the snow all day, dear" Elsa countered. With that, Rosetta yawned yet again before nodding in submission.
"You were such a good girl, Rosetta. You helped me complete a task." Elsa cooed as she collected her charge in her arms and carried her to the room.
"Mama?" Rosetta asked.
"Yes sweetie?" Elsa replied lovingly.
"Can you please sing me the lullaby that my other mama sang?" Rosetta asked earnestly.
"Of course my little girl….but get ready for bed first" Elsa chimed while tapping her daughter on the nose. Rosetta put her pajamas on and climbed into her bed and nuzzled her mother's shoulder. Elsa wrapped her daughter in a protective embrace and began to sing.
"Soft Kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur…happy kitty sleepy kitty….purr, purr….purr" The Queen sang.
"Can you sing it again please?" Rosetta asked, her eyes drooping. Elsa figured that one more verse would knock out the child she was holding.
"Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur….happy kitty, sleepy kitty, purr, purr, purr" She sang again. She looked at her daughter to see her in peaceful slumber. She wished she could be here, in this position forever…She wondered why she only got to have a few more days to love her little girl like this. She was kept company by insomnia for some time before sleep finally over took her.
