Here it is. The feelsy conclusion to the Arendelle sisters' arc: Elsa visits her parents' grave and recalls the recent events of her life.

Of course, I admit that Anna herself didn't play much of a part in this skit, but for the most part, Anna's head is on straight social wise. Meanwhile, 13 years of self loathing and isolation isn't going to healed in a few weeks/months whatever.

Also why bring up Elsa's self loathing issues despite these skits mostly being comedies? ehh it's still a part of her character and it make for a good closure for an arc. lol

Anyway, I hope this skit brings on the feels.

Tales of Closure
After a week of deals, unwanted attention and madness, Elsa finally made it back home. And after a week of questioning friends, horrible night outs, and madness, Anna greeted her sister back home. They both hugged each other which lasted for a minute. Afterwards, they began the sisterly bonding of talking about what happened to them.

Anna told her sister about her conversations about booger eating, which Elsa thought was a weird question to ask, and about her disastrous double date with Rapunzel and Eugene. Fortunately for Anna's sake, Elsa was not completely mad at her though she still got a lecture about using weapons. Also their aunt and uncle were not going to hold Anna's assault on Eugene against them as they knew he could be a handful despite being almost 27.

Then again, they're in-laws. They might have found it funny that someone knocked out Eugene. Anna thought.

Elsa told her Anna about all the trade deals she managed to get, which Anna had forced herself to stay awake to listen to, the time one of Hiccup's friends hit on her, and how an old witch with a talking crow almost turned Elsa into a bear. Anna wanted to punch the Viking, the witch, and the crow, but since she would feel guilty about hitting an old lady, she settled for hitting the Viking and the crow one and half times as hard.

Oh Anna, you don't have to punch the crow either. Just punch Snotlout three times as hard. Elsa thought.

Eventually, nighttime came and the sisters hugged each other good night while telling the other she loved her. Elsa tried to fall asleep, but found that she couldn't fall asleep for a minute, let alone even a month like she'd told Hiccup. And it was not because of the fact that she was worried that she would have nightmares of killing Anna. Instead the reason she couldn't fall asleep was that she was finally…. excited. Happy even. The only time she was had ever been this excited was when she thawed her kingdom and managed to hug Anna after years of avoiding her.

So Elsa kept herself occupied by going over the memories of her new friends and it was then that she realized something. She figured that there were two more people left who she should tell about her progress as a person: the two people she put off talking to for so damn long.

After thinking about what to say to them, she finally drifted to sleep.

The next day, Elsa decided to cancel any meetings for the rest of the day. She told Anna what she was going to do and when Anna offered to accompany her, Elsa declined, telling her that this was something she had to do on her own. Of course, Elsa was anxious about doing this as she kept putting it off until it became midafternoon using excuses like "just one more hour" or "psyche self up better" or "door has invisible barrier keeping me from going through." But she managed to give herself enough courage to finally go outside and start walking to the destination.

Elsa walked through the town square where her citizens bowed to her in respect and she smiled and waved in return. They weren't her focus for once however as she headed out of the town and into a clearing. This clearing did not have anything special except for two stone objects and Elsa knew that these specific two stones will never have the occupants they were created for. Elsa stopped and stood in front of them.

I can do this. It's been a long time, but I'm finally visiting my parents' graves.

Elsa straightened up and took a deep breath.

"Hello Mama. Hello Papa," Elsa greeted even though their bodies were not there, nor would they have answered if they were.

"Sorry that I'm three years late to visit," Elsa joked as she laughed nervously. But considering how few people talk to their parents from the great beyond, Elsa was doing rather well. So she decided to follow it up by talking about what she inherited.

"I'm trying my best as queen. I've been following all the lessons you taught me…" Elsa said before she realized the second sentence was a lie.

"Well not all of the lessons. The 'conceal don't feel' one. That one led to rather unpleasant side effects. And if you are able to look down from the afterlife, you two had seen it."

Elsa sighed as she recalled her greatest shame of almost committing accidental genocide. So she changed the subject to something more positive.

"I've made a lot of new trade agreements with a lot of new kingdoms after the fallout with Wesaltown," Elsa brightened. "It's the least that I could do to continue your legacy…. and to make up for almost killing everyone."

There was the self-loathing again. And to think, she was getting better at feeling more confident about herself but old habits die hard. So she decided to talk about the one person who Elsa would never have a negative thought about…

Hans!

Just kidding, it's Anna.

"Anna has been there for me the entire time. Who would have thought that the answer was love?" Elsa said. "Now the citizens know about my powers but they're not afraid of them. And I'm not afraid of them either. They don't control me anymore. And it's all thanks to Anna. We're close and again, more than ever before."

Elsa beamed as it really dawned on her that she had completed the objective that took 13 years to do. And it felt like a Jovian-sized planet had been lifted off the Snow Queen's shoulders. Even though Elsa felt like dancing right there she refrained from doing so 'cause dancing near your parents' graves…. Yeah.

Finally, not being able to put it off any longer she said, "And the strangest thing is…. I have friends. Six more friends. I know I can't believe it either. It feels so strange to have friends."

Even before she isolated herself, Anna was really Elsa's only friend. Of course, Elsa loved her so much, that she didn't mind that her baby sister was her only buddy.

Elsa continued, "In a way, they're all like Anna."

Elsa thought about what she said as she imagined her parents thinking that their daughter found six duplicates of her hyperactive sister. Elsa giggled at the thought.

"Well, they're not afraid of me because of my powers, title, or my personality. They're all an eternal joy to be around. And most importantly, they like me for…. me."

Elsa always felt that most people who are not Anna who wanted to associate with her were nothing more than ass kissers who were just using her power to get betterment for themselves. But her new friends never did. They were kind and helpful and they wanted nothing in return except for Elsa's friendship.

"I suppose I should tell you about them," Elsa suggested. "Let's see... oh there's your niece, Rapunzel and your nephew in law, Eugene. They are very much in love.

"Eugene loves to tell tall tales while Rapunzel try to keep him grounded," Elsa giggled when she recalled dinner story Anna told her about. "But sometimes, it's the other way around as well.

"There is also this Viking duo who domesticates dragons. Their names are Hiccup and Astrid…" Elsa stated. After a pause as if expecting a response she finished, "I agree those are strange names. Oh, I also rode Hiccup's dragon once. It was scary."

Now Elsa felt as if she was five years ago again and excitedly telling her parents about the day she lost her first tooth.

"Hiccup and I are a lot alike. We both like to read and look for peaceful ways to end conflict. And we're both also introverted."

Elsa wondered if there was something wrong with her since she never warmed up to people as fast as Anna did. But now knowing Hiccup, she realized that you can be quiet and still be friendly.

"And Astrid gave me some rather aggressive advice on driving away unwanted attention from unwanted suitors. Honestly, I never thought I would need advice like that as I never really thought myself as attractive."

Even though there are tons of guys and some women who would have told her "you're drop dead gorgeous" her loneliness did not let her believe that.

Suddenly Elsa felt sullen as a cloud appeared over her head and started snowing. "I always thought myself a monster. An ugly monster that deserved to suffer alone forever because of my… curse."

Elsa sniffled and then let out a quiet sob but she recomposed herself. "But again, Anna showed me that I'm not a monster to be feared. Whether or not I have powers."

"Speaking of ice. I met this… spirit. If you can call them that as I do not know what he really is. He might be a zombie. Anyway, his name is Jack Frost."

Elsa sighed. "If only we met earlier in life. He could have helped with my powers."

She imagined what it would have been like if Jack appeared during her first day of isolation. He would tell her, she would have mastered it in three days and then she and Anna could have been sisters again. And it would have been as if nothing bad had ever happened.

Elsa snapped from her thoughts. "Oh well. No use thinking about the past. Anyway, Jack is playful, cheeky, and he likes to pop out of nowhere and join in on a conversation.

"There is also Merida. She's an adventurous tomboy. And she has a rather… strong dislike of Vikings."

Elsa decided to hold off on how strong Merida's dislike was.

"But she still hangs with Hiccup and Astrid… Yeah I can't believe it either. But she is full of life and spunk, and she still is a caring girl at the end of the day."

Almost wrapping her conversation, Elsa finished up, "And of course, there's Anna. There will always be Anna. She will forever be my best friend."

Elsa began to tear up again. But they weren't tears of sadness as no snow was falling. They were tears of joy. "In fact, thanks to her, I met my new friends. I am SO blessed to have her for a sister. I will protect her, Mama and Papa."

Elsa cried in joy as she made a bunch of icy roses and she placed the flowers in front of the graves.

Calming down, she finished. "Well I've said all I wanted to say. I am no longer the scared little girl hiding in her room. I actually feel…. good and happy about myself. Goodbye Mama and Papa, I'll visit you again real soon. I love you."

Thus, Elsa finished her closure. In the distance, her younger sister watched her. She had come in around the time when Elsa said her friends remind her of Anna.

"Way to go, sis," Anna quietly said as she wiped away a tear of her own.

Of course, Elsa told the princess she was going to do this alone, but Anna knew that Elsa was never alone anymore emotionally. So physically, Elsa should have minded either.

Elsa didn't though as she saw Anna and walked towards her and held her hands with her own. Neither said anything for a while but just looked at each other and smiled.

Anna was the first to break the silence, "The gang is coming over to play cards and then we were gonna go out and eat. You wanna come?"

Elsa smiled, "As if you need to ask. I would very much love to join you guys. But can I suggest the location?"

Anna raised an eyebrow and then the realization hit her. "You mean…."

"Yes."

An hour later, our eight friends head up into the mountains that were beyond Arendelle with food and cards in tow. Elsa led them to her pride and joy; her very majestic ice palace which Elsa had fixed some time ago. Her companions stared in awe at the building and Anna could have sworn that she heard Jack quietly cry.

So for the rest of the day, all into the night, and well into the early morning, the eight amigos stayed in the palace and ate, played cards, swapped stories, and gave a toast to Elsa because of her ice castle and her friendship. Even the two dragons managed to entertain themselves with a giant living snowman. Laughter filled the halls and happiness radiated from the walls. It was as the castle itself was happy for the first time in months.

Many words could be used to describe Elsa the Snow Queen. But there was one word that could never be used to describe her again:

Alone.

The next arc will focus on Merida finding her place in the world.
