Well here it is. The next part. Rapunzel and Flynn totally parroted my thoughts the at end. lol I hope I got all the characters at least 75% matching their canon personalities. Tell me how well I did on the personalities at least.
Tales of The First Get Together
A few days later, Elsa and Anna traveled to their destination: The Kingdom of Corona. Corona was bigger than Arendelle. Its flag was purple with a yellow sun on it.
"Corona is also the word for a type of plasma that surrounds the sun," Elsa muttered to herself.
"What?" Anna asked. "Did you say something?"
"Nothing. Nothing at all."
Its royal family recently rediscovered their missing daughter, the sister's cousin, Rapunzel
So at least at I will have SOMETHING to talk about to SOMEONE Elsa thought.
As the sisters moved closer and closer to Castle Corona, with their bodyguards in tow, they had to go through a very active village. Elsa still had to keep her nerves about herself. They don't know she was the Snow Queen, after all.
The townspeople might burn me at the stake. And who knows what they will do to Anna!
Anna, sensing the queen's nervousness, held Elsa's hand, which relaxed her greatly
Continuing walking by, they passed people dancing in public, four little girls braiding each other's hair, someone drawing the Corona insignia in chalk on the sidewalk, and an overweight mime. If Anna wasn't on a super duper mission to get more friends for her and Elsa, she would have participated in those other activities. Especially whatever the mime was doing.
This is what I get for loving my sister too damn much. Not that I'm complaining. Why should I complain? I got my sister again. And I'm going to help her open up and make friends. And I'm going to be so happy and when I see Elsa smiling and not thinking she's an abhorrent failure. And… oh god, even in my head, I ramble.
Of course, everyone who knew Anna thought she was easily friendly. And while that may have been, she was also having the same anxieties as Elsa. They may not have been as strong as Elsa's, but they were still there. Thinking you're the family reject and once being so desperate for love can do that to you.
After a rather uncharacteristically quiet walk (Anna would have been talking nonstop about this), Elsa and Anna found themselves in front of the gates of Castle Corona. The guards at the front have been notified of their arrival, so the sisters were allowed to enter without much fuss.
But Elsa couldn't help but wonder if she saw two giant, winged lizards, one black and the other one blue, roaming near an open area.
Despite the castle being huge and majestic on the outside, on the inside, it was a humbling brownish color. As the sisters were lead down the hallway, they could hear laughter. Fortunately it sounded like it was coming from fairly young adults, so at the very least, at least age wasn't going to be an issue.
They arrived at the door that was hiding the laughter.
Finally after what like an eternity of silence, Anna said to the servant that escorted them, "You can leave us now. We'll handle it from here."
The servant bowed and went on his merry way leaving the sisters alone in front of the door.
Anna, yet again, spoke first. "Are you ready to go in?"
"No," Elsa said as she reached for the doorknob. Might as well get this over with.
She opened the door.
"And that's the story of how I died," which came from an adult male voice.
Partially because they didn't want to interrupt and partially because of the fact the statement confused them, Anna and Elsa stayed in silence for a bit and simply took in the colorful cast of characters.
The voice came from a roguish, handsome adult male in his mid-20s. He had brown hair and an eternal smirk across his face.
"That was an interesting story which you told twice already. And like last time, I think it's a shame that the death wasn't permanent."
That darkly humorous statement came from a blonde girl whose bangs is covered one of her eyes. And from the way she dressed, it was safe to assume that she's a Viking.
"Astrid!"
That voice came from another blonde woman, wearing a pink blouse and with hair too long for her own good. Of course, the sisters recognized her as Rapunzel.
"Yeah I agree with the Viking. Amazingly," said a curly, redheaded ginger in a simple green dress. Elsa was able to deduce that she likes archery because…. she was a carrying a bow.
The Viking girl, Astrid, simply rolled her eyes. "Well whoop de doo," she said sarcastically and with a bit of temper in her tone.
Anna decided it was a good a time as ever to speak. "Hello everyone," she said as she smiled and gave a chipper wave.
Everyone turned to look at the two royals, including a brown haired boy who stayed quiet in all of this as well.
Anna continued, "My name is Anna and this is my older sister, Elsa."
Here goes nothing. "Pleased to meet your acquaintances," Elsa said simply.
The quiet boy finally spoke. "Umm… hello. Welcome to our little group. My name's Hiccup."
Rapunzel decided to run up and hold the sisters by their hands. "Hello, my cousins. It's so nice to see you again!" she squealed jumping in place.
"I guess you two are all right," Astrid said. "You don't look more than annoying as the guys I know back home."
"Hi, the name's Merida." The curly, red headed announced.
It was roguish male's turn to speak. "Hi… the name's Flynn Ryder. How you doing…. I'm just messing with you. My name's Eugene. Rapunzel's my wife. And I also saw two at your coronation. Shame we couldn't meet then though."
Elsa was beginning to feel more at ease. These weren't bad people at all. In fact, they could get along quite…
"So Rapunzel told us that you control the ice and snow," Hiccup said. Not knowing the full situation of the Snow Queen's psyche.
At that moment, the room dropped in temperature a few degrees.
Great, I knew this would happen. They'll think I'm a freak.
Maybe I can get out of here while I still can.
As Anna held Elsa close to her to cheer her up… Rapunzel did the same thing.
"Cousin Elsa," she began shivering a bit. "It's okay, you're among friends. No one's going to hurt you. And you won't hurt anyone."
"Umm yeah, sorry about that… OW" Hiccup said before he yelped at apparently nothing. Anna looked at him a bit. He was a strange one. But continue to pour her focus onto Elsa.
"Really?" Elsa whimpered as if she were a child again. It really did bother her to be so self-conscious and afraid.
"Yeah, you're among friends, here" Eugene said spreading out his arms. "Rapunzel has magical hair, Merida sees fiery ghosts, the two Vikings over there train dragons."
Elsa's lit up, "I thought I saw two dragons outside."
"Yeah, they belong to us," Astrid answer.
"Yeah, we train dragons where we're from and…. OW! Stop hitting me with that staff!" Hiccup randomly said.
Elsa and Anna looked at each other and then at the strange Viking boy yelling at no one. However, Elsa did recall something.
"Rapunzel, your letter said that we would be meeting five of your friends. However, there only seem to be four here."
"Oh him, well… OW! Really, you can't wait a few more seconds?" Hiccup yelped.
Seeing what was happening, Rapunzel decided to explain herself, "Alright, Anna, Elsa. Try to reimagine a wintery childhood wonder."
"Childhood…" Elsa began.
"Wonder?" Anna finished.
"Yeah, that's the only way that you're going to see him," Merida explained.
So the sisters followed the strange request of imagining their wintery, childhood wonder: Which included building snowmen, building snowmen, and building armies of snowmen.
They really liked to build snowmen.
When they opened their eyes, they saw a silver haired boy with a staff waving at them with a cheeky smirk on his face.
"Wait what…" Anna wondered. "Who are you?"
"The name's Jack. Jack Frost," he explained. He then gave an overexaggerated bow. "You must be Anna and you must be Elsa. Nice to meet another person who can use ice magic."
A shocked look came across Elsa's face. "You have ice magic as well?"
"Well, it's in the name," he said as blast a bit of ice at a wall.
"You see, you have nothing to worry about, sis," Anna smiled as she wrapped her hand around Elsa's arm.
Silently, Elsa was relieved. She was among people who practice magic, saw the supernatural, or trained monstrous flying creatures. So they're never going to think she's an unholy abomination. However, the fear of hurting them or worse, the fear they won't like her personally, still lingers in her mind.
But for now, she could relax.
"Well now that everybody met everybody," Hiccup said. "There's nowhere to go up."
"This is either going to be the start of a beautiful friendship… or a slow descent into madness," Eugene mocked.
"You can say that again," Astrid rang.
Rapunzel decided to finish by taking that statement literally, "This is either going to be the start of a beautiful friendship… or a slow descent into madness."
Okay for intent and purposes, here are the major changes from some of the stuff that's actual canon:
Jack lived and died 500 years ago instead of 300 years ago. He became a Guardian around the time of Tangled. So the events of RoTG didn't happen in modern time but the story is still the "same." I did this so that Jaime's belief in Jack Frost would not have lost its value.
Also Rapunzel's hair can grow and is still blonde.
