Elsa POv 3rd Person
"Hey Elsa! It's your turn!"
The Queen of Arendelle who was currently in sailors clothes turned her ice blue eyes to Edgar who had his sailor cap in his hands. He had to cut his hair short since it was a dead giveaway to any Herrendonian Guards if it was left visible. His old shoulder length red hair was now short and spiky while he raised a brow at the princess as he put down the sack of coal he had picked up from the storage room.
Kristoff grunted as he shoveled coal from the sacks into the hot burning fire that roared in front of them that came from the massive furnace. Elsa wiped some sweat off her forehead as she took off her cap. It had been a week since they had ridden the Golden Mermaid and slowly, they were on their way to Herrendon.
Edgar picked up a shovel as he kicked down the three sacks of coal he brought and proceeded to chuck it in the fire as sweat, grime and dirt was smeared on his face but he looked rather relaxed as he said "Funny how most women your standing would just drop to this labor."
Most noble women like her would groan, whine and drop to this kind of labor but to Elsa, it was very simple. Sweating was nothing to her and she could do this since she wasn't those prissy types of royals who were so lazy to even lift a finger.
She slowly put down the shovel as she said "I'm not like most women,"
"I can see that," said Edgar as she glanced at a fellow worker who walked past them and said "Ice powers, cold attitude and even a naggy mouth to match. Not really like the girls I know."
The royalty rolled her eyes as she got up to go to the storage room and then she said "I'll get the next bags."
"Sure you won't break a nail?" asked Edgar without looking at her,
The woman scoffed as Kristoff looked at her and said "Let me do it, its kind of a tough job carrying so much coal."
She shook her head and said "Don't worry, I can do it."
Elsa slapped her sailor cap on as she walked out of the furnace room into the ship's lower hull. The boat rocked back and forth as it sailed on but unlike Kristoff, she did not get sea sick by the least.
Following the familiar hall, she jogged as she followed the hall to where the coal was but as she came into a turn, she ran into someone and both of them tumbled on the floor.
Elsa picked up her cap as she said "I'm sorry!"
She saw who she had run into and it was a brunette girl a bit shorter than her. She had messy, short brown hair and green eyes. She wore a violet dress as she stumbled up and said "No its my fault." (Her looks ring any bells?)
Elsa dusted herself feeling a bit insecure since she was wearing a very dirty outfit in front of someone who was clearly a noble like her. Surprisingly, the brunette smiled at her warmly and said "Don't worry about it, I won't tell anyone right Pascal?"
A small green lizard materialized on her shoulder and it gave a nod at Elsa who smiled and said "Thank you, I was just on my way to pick up some coal."
"Don't the sailors here have fun too?" asked the brunette, "I knew these guys who love to sing and dance even if they look kind of scary."
Elsa hadn't seen any sailors have fun except for those who drink and play cards but then the brunette said "I'm a bit lost, I just went to the ladies room and now I can't find my way back to the deck. Flynn must be looking for me."
"Flynn?" asked Elsa,
The girl smiled brightly and said "My fiancé! My name is Rapunzel by the way."
Elsa shook her hand and said "My name is Elsa, glad to meet you."
The girl had a bright smile on her face that reminded her of her sister Anna. The girl looked around and said "Do you have any idea how to get back on deck?"
The ice user pointed at the stairs at the distance and said "You take that flight and then you turn left to see another set of stairs, take that and you're good to go."
She girl gave her an appreciative look and said "Thanks! You know, there's a masquerade party later, I could give you and some of your friends some clothes to wear for the party. Not much is needed except to look sharp. You in?"
Elsa thought about it for a second and she shrugged and said "It could be fun! Alright, I'll take that offer, thanks Rapunzel."
"No problem!" said the brunette, "come on Pascal! Let's head back!"
The lizard nodded as the girl ran off leaving Elsa to say "She has a lot of energy, I wonder how Kristoff and Edgar will react to this?"
Anna POV 3rd Person
"So you're telling me that my sister, Kristoff and your friend are posing as sailors to get here?" asked Anna as she ate her hot meal,
Damian, who was sitting on the ground, Indian position, had his eyes closed as he said "Yes and apparently they are on the Golden Mermaid itself."
Anna couldn't believe it since that was one of the most known cruise ships in the land. To hear her sister was on it not as a guest but as a sailor was a surprise to her but she felt happy that Kristoff and Elsa would go that far to save her.
Damian opened his eyes and pulled out a note and said "As Edgar said, they are on the Golden Mermaid with the troublesome woman and an annoying mountain man. Apparently Edgar does not like your two friends very much."
Anna giggled and said "What is his problem? My sister is far from troublesome and Kristoff inst annoying, he's more of an adorable kind of guy."
The raven haired boy stood as he said "Well Edgar inst really much of a people person if I could say so myself. Even when we were children, Edgar was only friends with a few like me, his sister and then there was Aika."
The boy looked wishful as he looked away and said "I remember those old days, all we did was play and no matter what anyone said, we were always friends."
"Your childhood sounds fun," said Anna taking another bite, "Mine was kind of fun until an accident happened and changed everything."
"What happened?" asked Damian with a raised brow,
Anna didn't want to reveal her sister's power so she said "Let's just say my sister did something that made herself get separated from me by our parents' will."
"Some pair of parents," muttered Damian, "just like another parent I know."
Anna narrowed her eyes and said "Hey! My parents were good people!"
"Were?" asked Damian, "They're dead then?"
"Yeah," said Anna slowly, "but the reason they separated us was a bit rash but in the end my sister and I got together as a pair of siblings once again."
"What do you remember about your childhood?" asked Damian,
The redhead thoughtfully looked above her and then said "My sister and I played with snow as in a whole lot as kids. Snowmen, sleds, snowballs you name it, us two were often seen with snow together."
"Snow huh?" said the boy, "Edgar and I spent our time with fire, lighting up torches in the night, firecrackers and even having camping trips together as friends."
"You know the way you describe your friend doesn't make him sound like how the guards do when they stand here." Said Anna sadly, "calling him a demon, a spawn of hell and even a worthless scum. I can't imagine what he did to be treated as such."
"Edgar would never have meant what he has done." Said Damian silently,
"What did he do?" asked Anna carefully,
Damian's look darkened as he stood, gripped his sword and said "Not my place."
"You're his friend," said Anna, "I understand."
Damian then slipped on his helmet once again as he always did and says "The sun sets princess, it is now the time for me to leave."
On a routine feeling, Anna went back inside her cage in the darkness as Damian closed it behind her. She sat a bit comfortably inside the metal box smiling slightly as she imagined how her sister and Kristoff would look like in a sailor suit.
Elsa 3rd Person POV
"Excuse me for a second but what?!"
Edgar was literally fuming as Elsa looked unsurprised and she said "Yes, apparently we are set to join the ship's party later tonight."
"Do you have any idea what you've done?" asked Edgar, "That girl could have been someone who knows I'm here! She could have been a Herrendonian agent! Are you this careless?!"
"Hey!" said Kristoff, "back off buddy."
The red head looked at Elsa as the queen narrowed her blue eyes to his bronze ones and said "She is to be trusted. The look in her eye was someone who was innocent, someone who isn't bearing ill intentions."
Kristoff's eyes bounced back and forth as he said "So what are we going to do then?"
Elsa gave a wry smile at Edgar who grunted and said "Fine, so were going. Happy now?"
"Yes," said Elsa happily,
"Troublesome woman…" muttered Edgar,
Elsa ignored the comment as a knock was heard on their door and a man's voice was heard from the other side as it spoke "Rapunzel I don't think this is such a good idea, these guys aren't exactly like the guys back home."
"Come on Flynn!" spoke a familiar voice, "Elsa was nice! I bet her friends are nice too!"
"You think everyone is nice" grumbled the man,
"Oh come on Flynn" said the voice in a pleading tone,
The man gave a sigh of defeat and said "Alright, hurry up and call them, we don't want to be late."
The door opened as Kristoff, Elsa and Edgar turned to see Rapunzel in a violent dress and a sharply dressed man in a suit who had a good head of brown hair like her and he had a shiny smile.
The man's face dropped and eyes widened as he saw Edgar and said "Oh no…"
"So it's you again huh?" said Edgar slowly closing in on the man,
"Hey! Uhhh…Eddie right?" whimpered the man,
"Its Edgar weasel" said Edgar dangerously,
Rapunzel's eyes darted back and forth as Edgar noticed her and he said "So you got a job now? What are you her bodyguard? I know you can't fight let alone take a hit,"
"He's my fiancé!" said Rapunzel, "now please stop it and put him down!"
Edgar did that and stepped back while Kristoff said "Who's he?"
"His name is Flynn Rider," said Edgar looking away as Elsa and Rapunzel greeted each other,
The brunette man felt his throat as Edgar dangerously glared at him and said "About a year ago he sold me out to some Herrendonians but I got away."
"I didn't!" said Flynn, "it was kind of a coincidence that they found you."
Edgar growled as Rapunzel defended him and said "He's different now! He nearly died saving me."
Edgar's eyes turned from dangerous to cool as he looked at Flynn and said "I'll take her word for it but I still don't trust you Rider."
Elsa sighed as Flynn took a step back and she said "I'm sorry about my friend"
"It's nothing," said Rapunzel, "You should have seen the twins who wanted to get to Flynn."
Rapunzel looked at the clock on the wall and said "You three follow us! I've got the dresses and suits that'll suit you three well!"
The princess led them to the changing room where Elsa followed Rapunzel into theirs leaving Flynn with Kristoff and Edgar. The old thief looked at the two and said "Gentlemen, let's get your groove on."
Reluctantly, Edgar followed Kristoff in with Flynn into a different room where suits of all colors were hanged on racks. The styles and silk were clearly of different lands and Flynn had his arms open as he said "Have your pick"
Edgat scowled at Flynn and said "You struck deep this time Rider. I wouldn't like to see you break that girl's heart."
His usually amused face turned serious as he said "Hey, I may have been some weasel back then but I'm serious about Rapunzel."
"He's not lying," said Kristoff, "Elsa says that's what I look like with Anna."
"Anna?" asked Flynn, "Wait…for one thing what the heck are you doing here? You do know where this boat leads to?"
"I do," said Edgar with a nod as he looked around for a suit to wear, "And I plan to get in."
"I knew you were crazy but I didn't know you were that messed up," said Flynn,
Kristoff held a green suit and said seriously "Apparently my fiancé was captured in his place since they both had red hair. He's promised to help Queen Elsa and I get her back."
"Queen Elsa!?" said Flynn, "You mean the same ice queen who nearly froze Arendelle over a few months ago? That Queen Elsa?"
Both men nodded as Flynn nervously scratched his head and said "We were at that party too…so that means you're like-"
Edgar's eyes flared dangerously as Flynn gulped and nodded without Kristoff noticing. Soon, after Kristoff had found a suiting dark blue suit, the two were not helping Edgar pick out a suit.
"Seriously," said Flynn putting away another suit, "You have no sense of fashion."
"Like you do?" asked Edgar,
Kristoff chuckled as he pointed at a dark vermilion suit with a black tie and said "Hey, I bet that'll look good. It'll match your hair."
"You do know we are sounding like women with each passing sentence," said Edgar slowly,
Being ignored, Flynn picked it out and said "Right on! Put this on Hotshot."
Soon, Edgar was looking at himself in the mirror and gave a small nod as he muttered "It will suffice"
"Sure," said Flynn,
As they stepped out, Elsa and Rapunzel were already waiting. Elsa had changed into a long, sleeveless, blue dress that was embroided with white lacing that greatly made her looks shine. The princess was now in a long purple dress and a golden necklace was around her neck.
Edgar raised a brow since he couldn't lift his sight from the Queen whom he often pissed off and she gave a bright smile at him and said "You two are looking good. Kristoff, Anna would like that suit."
"Really?" asked Kristoff suddenly conscious,
Flynn held hands with Rapunzel and said "Let's head on the deck. The party is beginning."
Following the couple, Elsa looked at Edgar who comfortably walked with the dark red suit on and he surprised her by saying "You look good tonight."
Her ears felt warm as she said "Really? Thanks, you don't look too bad yourself."
The red head gave no reply as a sailor who carried a barrel walked past them and he caught a whiff of a familiar smell. A smell very familiar to him but he couldn't put his finger on it.
The sailor gave him a solid look and walked off while Elsa saw his eyes follwot he sailor and said "What is it?"
"We've been here for a few days and today is the only time I've seen that guy," said Edgar, "I feel like something is wrong."
"You always feel something is wrong," said Kristoff with his hands in his coat,
"Not funny mountain man," said Edgar, "That smell…"
"Calm down hotshot," said Flynn,
Rapunzel looked at him curiously and said "Why? Is something wrong?"
"Not really…" said Edgar, "Just a feeling…"
His thoughts were interrupted when they came up the stairs to see an entire deck of masked people. Some sailors handed them masks to wear for the dance. Elsa got a white and grey eye mask that thoroughly hid her identity. Kristoff received a green one with some marks that he grinned as he wore while Flynn received a silver one that complimented his suit. Rapunzel got a golden mask that covered her eyes as she giggled like a little girl underneath as she took Flynn's hand. Edgar on the other hand received a pitch black mask that resembled a vigilante's and it covered a good portion of his face from any Herrendonian Guards.
Classical music played as Rapunzel held her fiancé's hand and said "Have fun you three!"
They took off to dance while Kristoff said "I don't feel like dancing, I guess I'll hit the food. Sven would love it here, some gourmet cooked carrot plates."
The blonde left Elsa and Edgar alone who held out his hand without looking a Elsa and said "This could be a bit awkward and since we're here, why not? Would you care to dance Lady Elsa?"
Surprised by his gesture of gentlemanliness, she remained silent and stoic as Edgar said in a sarcastic tone "Don't know how to dance?"
Taking the challenge, she took his hand and said "Of course I do! But the question is do you?"
Edgar merely smiled under the mask and put a hand on Elsa's hip as they started to rock and sway to the rhythm of the song. People gave them curious looks on who they were but not much cared since the pair danced with such grace and finesse.
The night sky was lit by the moon as the duo continued their dance. Elsa had a small smile on her face and felt her cheeks heat up as she felt Edgar's breath as they swayed. Meanwhile, Edgar was surprised on how her hands felt; they were warm to the touch despite her affinity to ice. Also, her hands were soft and she danced with such grace like no one he has ever seen before.
Another sailor he had never seen before walked behind them and once again, the same smell filled Edgar's nose. It smelled something that reminded him of the sea's inhabitants, those inhabitants weren't fish or anything but it reminded him of…
He was interrupted as Elsa giggled and said "Wow, you really can dance."
"Child's play Queen Elsa," whispered Edgar as he pulled her close making her blush and spun her around,
At the corner of their eye, they saw Flynn and Rapuznel enjoying their dance as well. In truth, this time of leisure was sort of fun even if they were on a rescue mission. Elsa spun as Edgar twirled her and she leaned back as the song came to a stop and their faces came close as Edgar supported her back as she leaned back.
The two's eyes met for that second. Blue and bronze orbs met as they slowly came closer out of pure instinct. Elsa closed her eyes as Edgar slowly leaned in but then, under the moon, a gunshot was heard and Edgar pulled Elsa up as everyone including them turned to the source of the sound.
Once again, the familiar scent filled the air and Edgar saw a large bearded man who had a bad set of teeth holding a flintlock pistol in one hand as a cutlass was on another. He was very tall and intimidating as he grinned with his sly calculating face and said "Good evening everyone! My name be Yerven the Scourge and I come here to ask you all kindly for ye'r valuables."
Slowly, sailors in uniform removed their uniforms to reveal themselves to be wearing pirate uniform and the crowd of royals looked across the deck to see the guards unconscious. The ship's Golden Mermaid flag was then replaced with a pirate flag and Edgar growled as it all came to him. The familiar smell was gunpowder which was usually on pirates since they used these pistols.
The pirates drew their guns and cutlasses as they smiled menacingly and Yerven spoke "This ship is now ours! All who disobey shall walk the plank!"
