A/N: hi there, thank you guys so much for your feedback. So I decided I am going to put Helsa in, still trying to learn what the Helsa ship is like and how I should present them, but I'm working on it. They're relationship will start a few chapters or so from now. So, enjoy! Keep the reviews coming
They walked along, ate lunch, than headed back to the sled.
"Oh Kristoff your cabin!" Rapunzel squealed.
"What?" Kristoff responded.
"Don't you have a cabin up here?"
"Yeah but-"
"But it's full of crazy ice harvesters." Anna finished.
"I also have the one-"
"Sh!" Anna shushed Kristoff before he could finish. Kristoff rented a more private cabin after visiting his friends with Anna, the private one is of course used for private purposes.
"Oh come on Anna we all know you've guys already done it in the sleigh a thousand times." Eugene reasoned.
"But that's always on the floor,"
"Anna's right, were not going there." Kristoff said as they reached the sled.
"You guy run a pretty tight ship huh?" Eugene joked.
"You bet." Kristoff said while tugging on the rope around Anna's waist.
On the ride home Anna noticed a smoke coming up from the trees, farther down the trail.
"Kristoff look!" Anna said nudging his shoulder. He looked to the left and saw the smoke Anna was talking about.
"What about it?" Kristoff relaxed.
"Smoke!" Anna panicked.
"It's probably just a trading post." He shrugged looking back on the trail. Kristoff wasn't enjoying Sven's complaints about the new reindeer, and just wanted to get home so he could get some 'personal' time in with Anna after that kiss. He didn't really want to be on the sled any longer than necessary.
"Kristoff…" Anna smiled.
"No. That is not-"
"Pleaseeeeee," Anna pleaded.
"We haven't been there in months."
"Exactly, it's not in the middle of a storm and I'm sure he won't recognize you."
"Anna he saw my face."
"Than he's probably forgiven you just please can we go? Remember how I said I never had those wool mittens, well I'm positive he has them there, I saw them." Anna begged.
"No." Kristoff answered.
"Where and who is this person?" Eugene asked.
"Kristoff I won't do anything I told you I would if we don't go over there." Anna pouted crossing her arms. Kristoff sat there, cheeks red and annoyed with her deal.
"Fine." He said rolling his eyes as he turned right onto a new trail.
"Who is this guy?" Rapunzel asked eagerly.
"It's the cutest little place with a sauna and warm hot chocolate an adorable everything."
"It's a trading post." Kristoff stated grumpily.
"It's where we met." Anna countered with an angered look.
"Yeah and we practically claimed the stable there-" Kristoff began.
"Kristoff!"
"I know I know, but Eugene gets it." Eugene laughed back at Kristoff.
"Jeez I swear I can't get out one joke. It's all 'Kristoff don't you dare finish that sentence, Kristoff, Kristoff…, Kristoff!'" Kristoff mocked.
"Because they're inappropriate!" Anna reasoned.
"Anna I'm with my friend. Remember the ice harvesters you went to see? They're much worse than this, and I was practically raised with them. We're in front of Eugene and Rapunzel, when we hang out it's not like we're at a dinner party to discuss polotics." Kristoff complained.
Anna sat there pouted with her arms crossed, Kristoff made a similar sound but much deeper, and looked the other way.
They finally arrived at Oaken's and Kristoff waited in the sled.
The three of them walked through the door when Anna heard a familiar voice to her left.
"Yoo-hoo, big summer blow out. Half off towels, glasses, and sun balm of my own invention, yeah." Oaken said as if it were routine (which it was).
"Oaken! So nice to see you." Anna said walking over.
"Princess Anna, nice to see you. It's been a while yeah?"
"Yes it has, do you happen to know where the wool gloves are? " Anna smiled.
"Yes, that would be in our winter department." Oaken said exactly like the last time she was here. The winter department consisted of the dress she bought last time, and snow gear. While Anna and Rapunzel looked for that, Eugene awkwardly walked around.
"Yoo-hoo." Oaken waved over to Eugene.
"Hm?" He answered turning.
"Finding everything okay sir?"
"Uh, yes thank you."
"Where ever did you come from?"
"Excuse me?"
"Well you don't seem to be from around here sir."
"How do you know?"
"Because of the way your hair is styled, the unusual beard on your chin, and the way your jacket is put on, suggests you're from south of here." Oaken said politely.
"Well uh, yes I am from the south. Corona." Eugene answered fixing his jacket.
"Ah I see, are you enjoying your stay in Arendelle?"
"Very much so." Eugene said more modest, yet trying to look confident.
"All ready." Anna hopped over and put the gloves on the counter.
"That will be thirty."
"Of course." Anna smiled as she got out her wallet.
"Did you ever find your sister?" Oaken asked.
"Oh, wow… Yes I did. She's back at the castle now, the queen again." Anna giggled. Oaken never got any news up in the mountains.
"How have you been yourself dear? I heard about that Prince you were marrying. Are you with child yet?"
"Oh uh, hehe no. That Prince, uhm Hans, he was… evil." Anna said unsurely.
"So did you split the marriage?"
"No we never got married."
"Oh I see, so you're single now, yeah? I know a great fellow, a wood chopper-"
"Oh no Oaken I- I'm dating Kr-. I mean I'm with this man named Kristoff. He's an ice harvester."
"That ice harvester who came in with you the other time?"
"Y-yes. He's not difficult anymore, or… that much at least."
"By dating you dear, I'm sure he's changed. He's come in here once or twice before though.
"Really? Than why-"
"Oh yes, he talks about you, always mentions you. I'm assuming it's you since he's never said your name when he talks. This is where you met yeah?"
"…Yes." Anna said smiling, happy with her boyfriend.
"Do you intend on being with him forever ma'am?"
"Well I-I hope so." Anna answered a little brought back by the question.
"Yes you should, at least he does. And to think the future king and queen of Arendelle met in my shop. Oh Anna you must bring your children here." Anna stood there taken aback. Thinking about having kids with Kristoff, marrying him, all that stuff. And to think what would have happened if she didn't walk in the right direction, or didn't see the puffs of smoke at the right time, should would never had met the love of her life. She suddenly felt extremely lucky.
"Well thank you for the gloves Oaken," Anna finished paying.
"Anytime dear." Oaken said waving.
The three of them walked out the door to see Kristoff arguing with Sven.
"Sven I know you don't like working in pairs but that's still offensive to you partner." Kristoff scolded. Sven made another reindeer sound.
"You just have to deal with it, we're almost home. I wouldn't have them on the sleigh with the ice either but they're only here for so long." Kristoff argued again.
"Ready?" He asked looking at Anna. Anna walked over without saying a word, pulled his head down and kissed him hard. She wrapped her arms around his neck and he wrapped his arms around her torso.
"Hey there." Eugene said waving his hand. "Not to rush you two love birds but we need to get home…"
"Right," Kristoff said with red lips and red cheeks.
"Wait." Anna said pulling his head back over to face her. "I don't want to fight. I mean to think what would've happened if I didn't bump into you here, I would've never-"
"Hey hey." Kristoff stopped. Anna was tearing up, of course she was overreacting, about their tiny disagreement and buying something at Oaken's but Kristoff learned she couldn't help it, she was still new to the world.
"We are lucky, and we should appreciate that. But don't doubt the future okay? I'm right here." He said giving her a big hug, digging his face in the crook of her neck.
"I know, it's hard though when you ice harvest every day."
"I'm the smartest guy out there I promise you. Now come on, we'll discuss this when we get home." Kristoff said pulling her to the sled. Anna sat in the front with Kristoff and Eugene, squeezed between the two of them. It wasn't that much of a problem because eventually she ended up sitting on his lap and rested her head in the crook of his neck.
