Chapter 3 Mission: Getting Elsa out of the meeting
Elsa woke up at the break of dawn, opening her curtains letting the light fill the room. Elsa wondered what stuff they are going to talk…no…argue about in the meeting but she had to wait. She got ready for the day, went downstairs to eat breakfast and waited in the conference room for the dignitaries, council members and other members of the meeting to arrive.
Anna slept peacefully in her bed when she jumped out of bed, remembering she had a perfect plan to get Elsa out of the meeting. She got dressed, styled her hair into two pigtails and dug through her drawer for the plan she had. Once she found it, she went downstairs for breakfast. Walking through the halls and sliding down the banister, she went through her plans for getting Elsa out of that meeting. Opening the doors to the dining room, she saw her parents having breakfast.
"Morning Anna, you're up early. Really early." Idun said as she glanced at the grandfather clock. "I know and that's because I have a plan, a perfect plan to get Elsa out of that meeting and I was thinking you two would help me." "No, maybe your father will." "I'll give you chocolate." "Fine." "Papa, are you helping me?" "Nope." "I'll give you chocolate." "No." "Ice-cream?" "Nuh uh." "Cake?" "Never." "I'm running out of ideas here."
"I'll help unless…You, Elsa and your mother here don't eat chocolate for the rest of the month." "No, I'm not doing that and neither is Elsa nor Mama." "Come on, do it for Anna." "No way, no how Idun. What makes you think I would help her?" Agdar saw Idun smirked, "What are you going to do?" "Something that will make you want to help her." Idun got up and moved her chair over to Anna's. Idun gave him a say-yes-or-I-will look but he shrugged it off.
"Anna I have something to tell you." "Yeah, what is it?" "It's about your father." Agdar realized what she was doing, "Don't say anything." "Well help her." "Like if." "Alright then, just remember you asked for it. Anyways Anna, your father nickname is Agdarie, he used to talk with his pet dog…" Anna started to snicker. "Please stop." "Help her." "No." "Fine. He plays with the miniature model of Arendelle, he is scared to cut his hair and..."
"Please don't say the last one." Idun tilted her head to Anna who was drinking orange juice, "Nuh uh." Idun sighed, "And he sleeps with a teddy bear named Mr. Cuddles." Juice shot out of Anna nose as she laughed while Agdar slid himself under the table. Soon Anna's laughing died down into small outbursts of giggles. "Where is your father?" Idun looked under the table and saw him crouched bellow the table. "Agdar get up from under there."
"Fine and I'll help you and Anna, just please don't tell her anymore." "Deal. Anna you father said yes." "Okay, I have blueprints of all the castles secret passages and the two main ones is in the fireplace and behind one of the bookshelves in the library which leads to the roof and there's a another passageway which goes right over the conference room." "How do you know that or how did you get all this Anna?" "I was a really mischievous child Papa." "Yes, I know that but how did you get it?"
"Long story short, I found one of the passages and that's when I found more and decides to draw them down. When does Elsa meeting start?" "About now." "How long does a meeting usually take?" "Two hours." "So she should be done by nine o' clock but that's not happening." The three walked to the library and saw many bookshelves on the wall. "Which one Anna?" "To tell you the truth Mama, I can't remember." "Well were going through the fireplace then." "Yes."
"There is a switch behind the pile of-got it." They heard a click then a rumble and saw the wall behind the fireplace opened. "So who's going first?" Agdar said as he moved the logs to make the entrance clear. "Anna brought me into this, so Anna goes first." No way Mama , eldest goes first. Papa you go." "What? No, why don't you go since you're the one who make us agree to help." "Fine." Anna climbed through the opening then Idun and Agdar, they heard the wall shut. "Anyone has a torch?" "No."
"So your majesty should we raise the taxes by four percent or don't raise it at all?" One council member asked, "You should raise them because…" 'I could've out playing with Anna but I have to listen to this. Most of the time they don't even know I'm here. Was this so important, I could've done this with Anna but she would most likely fake she is sleeping. And I have no idea what he just said' "So should we raise them by four percent your majesty." "No, you should raise it by two percent instead."
"Okay, now onto the farmers…" 'This is going to be a long day. I wonder what Anna is doing.'
" We got fire, no harm done." "Says who? I almost got my hand burned off. How far do we have to walk?" Agdar said. "Oh not far." They took fifteen steps to reach the ladder to the roof. "Looks like we won't be needing this anymore." Anna blew the torch out. "Really, so we made a fire for nothing?" "No, there are spiders down here." "It doesn't bother me." They climbed up the ladder and made it onto the roof.
"Seriously. We could've just climbed up the chimney." "Yes I know Papa but that's not any good adventure. All we have to do is walk to the other end of this roof which shouldn't be too hard right?" Five minutes later, "I changed my mind this is hard." They were jumping, climbing but most likely slipping off the roof but they made it all in one piece. No one was in pain except Agdar who shoulders were slightly bleeding because of Idun who was digging her nails in him the whole time.
"We're here, just through there." They enter another passageway, walking through it they heard a voice. "It's Elsa's voice, we're right over the conference room. Theirs is supposed to be a trap door somewhere here." Then the wood started to creak. "What is that?" The trap door opened beneath them. Agdar was the last one to fall, hooking his feet and one of his hands at the edge of the door.
Holding one of Idun's hands and Anna holding her other hand, Anna was going to put one foot down when she realized that she was right over Elsa. She pulled herself up a little more, some of the guards and councilmen watched them with worried faces. Elsa quirked a brow at them. When they realized Elsa was watching them, they all said it was nothing. When Anna realized the Elsa was going to turn around, she started swinging. Elsa looked left to right but saw nothing.
"So where were we?" "On the topic about opening new trades since you close trade with Weselton." "Oh great." 'Really, is this what I have to do when I'm queen? This is so boring.' Anna thought, she glance at the clock in the room, 'Eight fifty five. Wow, all this for nothing.' When Agdar realized that Idun was losing her grip on him, he pulled her up until she held on to his shoulder. Elsa sighed as she tried no to slouch, 'I always wonder how Mama and Papa never fell asleep in this.'
Finally the meeting was over, Elsa glanced at the clock. Nine 'o clock, 'Two hours, it felt like I've been here all day. I wonder if Anna wants to do something together with Mama and Papa. A picnic? Nah. Horse race? Did that. Truth or dare? Sure that sounds fun.' "Why do I feel if there is something over my head lately? Meh…it must be nothing." The trap door started to creak, "Idun the door." Agdar whispered as he saw Anna getting closer to Elsa, "I know." Elsa heard the whispering.
"Who's there? What am I doing? No one's here but me and that painting. Maybe the painting whispered to me? Nah…who am I? Anna?" Anna mentally scowled, 'Really Elsa! Really! I think I will have a word with you…after we get out of here before you notice.' "Let it all out. Maybe I should do this before the meeting starts and after it ends." Before you know it, the whole room was covered in frost even the trap door.
'Oh great…just great. The trap door had to get frost…it had to.' Agdar's grip came loose and they fell right on top of Elsa. "That what was over me. Ow…what are you doing here, in a matter of fact…how did you get in? I didn't even hear the door. Ouch." "That's because we didn't Elsa." Anna said as she helped Idun up. "Well how?" The three of them pointed up to the trap door. "Well what a way to make an entrance, so how long you were here? Five, ten minutes ago." Elsa giggled.
"Let's see for most of the meeting." "That's why some of them looked at me funny, it wasn't me they were looking at, they were looking at you. Now can you all get off of me, I have a nice thing we could do." "Maybe some other time dear, Anna's asleep." "How could she be asleep now?" "Well she did came in right after you left." "Next time tell me when you all are doing this so you can take me with you. This meeting was so boring. How do you do it?" "Do what?"
"The meeting, how do you try not to fall asleep or show any signs of boredom?" "It's a skill, well not exactly. It's more like concealing your boredom or in Anna's case, not trying to leave the room under any circumstances." "Oh, so want to go for a picnic at lunch?" "Yeah, why not? It'll be nice to relax outside as a family again?" they soon found Anna's room and rest Anna in her bed. They were walking out when they heard Anna say, "Mission: get Elsa out of the meeting was kind of successful but I tried and had fun."
Elsa, Agdar and Idun smiled and closed the door. They walked through the halls to the library to enjoy a little quiet time before Anna wakes up.
