Haha, well, thank you all of you readers so far! I've already gotten good reviews for "Festivities". Thanks for all your support, you're all so great.

Anyway, I'll cut to the chase. I liked a suggestion I got from snoopykid about Anna taking revenge on Elsa for the incident with the groundskeepers. I wouldn't necessarily constitute this as a purposeful revenge on Anna's part…more of an un-intentional revenge. Also, whatever else I feel like throwing in there. I don't have siblings, but I'll try my best with sister fluff.

Also, there is a warning in this: there is a part where Anna cuts herself, but not in a bad way, it's on accident. I just wanted to warn anyone for any triggers.

As always, read, review, thank you, and God bless! Lol XD

I can't Bear it anymore

Anna and Elsa were both in their new joined room together, reading on their beds. They decided to have their rooms joined together for the sake of being close, just like they had when they were kids together. After all, it gets awfully lonely at night when you can't sleep, so who better to have as a sleeping companion than your sister, right? Besides, everyone likes to cuddle every now and again.

Cuddling is nice!

Well...except for whenever you're covered in bee stings.

It was a few days since the yellow jacket incident, and Anna was recovering slowly. Slowly was putting it too nicely – she was recovering at a crippled snail's pace…a crippled snail trying to tow a wagon…with things in it. She was constantly feeling itchy, scratching, and complaining about her bee stings. Elsa had put up with it all though, since she knew it was by her hand that she had caused this. Their lamps were on, and the candles slowly burned in the night as they read their books in depth. Anna preferred fairy tales, while Elsa was reading a book on history. You could hear only the faint sound of an occasional page turning in the dark as the sisters read in peaceful silence.

Well, actually, scratch that. You could also hear Anna's insufferable scratching as well.

Elsa briefly looked up to where her sister was sitting against the headboard of her own bed reading. Well, trying to read, to be more precise. All of that scratching was starting to become annoying, as the constant shifting around was starting to distract Elsa from her book. She had tried to discourage Anna from scratching, as she warned they could leave scars and badly damage her skin over time. However, Anna had come up with some…interesting ways to scratch her bites. The first day, she simply used her hands. Then, she had a marvelous idea: she requested Elsa make a blade out of ice. Upon Elsa asking why Anna would ask for such a weird request, Anna simply replied it was to shave her legs with. Elsa shrugged and made one – only to find Anna later using it to scratch almost every part of her body.

Elsa seriously doubted Anna was that hairy.

After seeing a few spots where the blade had slipped and Anna cut herself on accident, Elsa dissolved the blade, glaring at Anna who simply smiled sheepishly. The next day, whenever Elsa was walking to the dining hall for lunch, she found Anna simply rolling along the edges of the wall. It was like watching a ragdoll being dragged along clumsily against the side of the hallway, as Anna limply allowed herself to bump along the wall with a smile of relief on her face. Elsa just sighed, and yanked her sister away from the wall by her ear and pulled her along to lunch with her, slightly scorning her for scratching so much. Tonight while reading, Anna had been scratching furiously again and Elsa just rubbed her temples, trying to distract herself by finding a good place in her book to get lost in.

It didn't work.

Elsa sighed in annoyance, "Anna, how many times do I have to tell you? Scratching yourself will only make it itch worse," she said dryly.

"Ya know, Elsa, none of this would have even happened if you just let me be lazy! Gahh!" She really scratched at her stings this time, only to find herself in more pain than pleasure. "Ow! Uh…hehe…seems you were right about that whole 'making it worse' thing…" She smiled weakly at her sister, to find Elsa just staring at her – smiling faintly when she heard Anna admit she was right.

She liked being right.

A lot.

Especially when it meant Anna was wrong, as per usual. It's a sister thing, really.

Anna caught her sister smiling at what she said, and realized that Elsa was right, yet again. At this, she continued, "I'm still gonna get you back; and the sad part is, you'll never see it coming!" Anna attempted a terrible evil laugh, only to go back to whimpering and whining about her stings. Elsa just sighed with a small chuckle attached to the end of it, closing her book calmly. Pulling a small leather pouch from her night stand, she got up from underneath her covers and began walking casually over to her sister to aid her while shaking her head, pulling her sister's arm into her hands, showing her the pouch.

"Here, this is from the infirmary. It's a new anti-itch cream that I had the doctor whip up especially for you. It should work rather well; now, do try your best to hold still?" Elsa dabbed the cream on her finger, and lightly rubbed it on Anna's arms and such.

"Thanks, you really didn't have to do that…" Anna felt kind of bad now, thinking briefly back to all the complaining and whining she had done.

"No, I had to. Your complaining was starting to annoy me, and I was tired of seeing my sister look like a noodle walking down, or rather AGAINST the hallways." Elsa chuckled as she said the last statement, earning a light little laugh from Anna as well.

"Well, thanks again, it feels a lot better. But I'm still going to get you back."

Elsa looked Anna in the eyes with a sly grin and giggled, "Am I supposed to expect anything less?"


Finally! The stings had cleared up, and Anna soon reverted back to her care-free self. Elsa was right, that cream worked so well! Throwing all caution to the wind, she decided to do one of her favorite activities – rail riding! She trudged up the steps to the very tip top of the castle's master staircase, and threw her legs over to start her decent. She started off slow, but then started to pick up speed. She quickly threw her hands up; but then slammed them back down against the railing, realizing they helped her keep her balance.

"Ahahaha!" Anna was completely laughing and giggling with excitement and glee as her high-pitched squeals could be heard all throughout the castle. Upon reaching the end, however, she noticed a random person appearing at the bottom, starting to take a few steps up the stairs herself. Hey, that person looked an awful lot like…oh no.

"Elsa! Watch ouuuut!"

If only she had looked up sooner.

She was greeted by none other than her darling little sister, who violently and giddily crashed into her. Falling down with a powerful "OOOF!", she re-gained her strength again to at least look around the room only to notice Anna laughing hysterically.

"I told you to look out!" Anna giggled, while Elsa groaned slightly.

"Anna, how many times have I told you to act your age?" Instead, she was just greeted with more giggles as Anna helped her up off the ground.

"And how many times have I told you that you need to loosen up and have more fun?" Despite her reckless behavior and sometimes ludicrous actions, she was right, Elsa worked practically non-stop. Then again, being the only monarch the kingdom had was a tasking challenge. She knew Anna was right, just…didn't know why 'having fun', as Anna put it, had to be so reckless with that girl. Elsa liked to relax, sure. However, when it came to Anna, relaxing meant eventually being FORCED to relax…by lying in a bed…in the infirmary…in a body cast…

"Elsa, I'm gonna make you do something fun!" Anna put her finger up to her chin mischievously, as if thinking of something so diabolical, it was scary. And it was actually scaring Elsa just a tad, as she never knew what Anna was thinking; and Elsa liked being able to read people, especially being the ruler of a nation. The trouble was her sister was never one of those people she could read too easily.

"Aha, I've got it! We're going to go…" Anna rubbed her hands together and started rolling her tongue to create a drumroll effect, "Hiking!" At this, Elsa gasped and her hand went up in mock shock, as if it were terrible news.

"Really, Anna? That's the best revenge you can come up with? Hiking?"

"Mmhmm! Admit it, you know it's evil! Mwahahahaha!"

"Oh, please. It's not so bad…I mean, the outside world is filled with wonder, excitement, and fresh air all around. And it's not so bad…after all; I love the idea of hiking with my baby sister."

Elsa hated the idea of hiking. She liked the outdoors, sure. However, she preferred quaint little strolls that were nice and close to the castle. At the same time, while thinking about this, she also remembers a time when she used to join Anna as a child in her reckless adventures with a lot less hesitation than she has nowadays. But, after the whole hitting Anna in the head with her magic accident and freezing Arendelle in the accursed eternal three-day winter, she's learned that a little restraint can go a long way.

The same could not be said for Anna.

She still remained the care-free person she always was. Anna just never seemed to get it. Always getting into some kind of predicament where Elsa would have to either bail her out of trouble, or help her get back on her feet. Despite all this, it didn't make Elsa care for Anna any less; it just made her appreciate her giddiness even more. Especially considering how uptight Elsa felt some days: days like this one, in fact.

With that being said, err…thought of in Elsa's mind, she got ready for the hike – no matter how much she loathed the activity, time with her sister mattered more to her.


"Let's go, Anna! If we're going to go, I want to get back before it gets dark out!" Elsa called out to her sister behind her door. She was wearing a pair of hiking boots, khaki pants, and a hunting shirt. She also had a brimmed hat on, to block the sun. She also had a small backpack on with a spare set of clothes in it, as well as fruit and water for hiking snacks.

For someone who hated hiking, Elsa sure knew how to prepare well for it.

Anna came stumbling out of her room, wrestling with a right-footed boot that just refused to go on smoothly. "Geez, I heard you like, an hour ago. I'm…ugh…coming." She never was the punctual type, always late for whatever she had to be at. Late to Elsa's coronation, and even whenever they would announce her as princess, she'd come stumbling in at just the nick of time.

Elsa just sighed, knowing that her sister was doomed to a lifetime of being late for everything. She chuckled to herself though, imagining Anna even managing being late to deliver her own child at the infirmary one day. 'Now that would be a sight…hehe…'

Anna finally gained some composure as she straightened up her posture, lightly brushing the dust off of herself from where the clothing had been sitting around unused for so long. "So, are you all ready to – oh, I see you are…" She just kind of sighed seeing how overly-prepared her sister was. "Elsa, we're only going on a hike. Not an expedition to find the pyramids."

"Hey, it never hurts to be prepared. Anyways, you ready? I want to leave befo-"

"Yeah yeah, before it gets dark, I know. Let's gooooo!" And, while grabbing Elsa's hand and yanking her outside, they were on their way for a fun, fantastic day, right?

Wrong.

It wasn't even three miles into the hike that Anna tripped over a log and fell forwards into a pile of…ahem…well, let's just say it wasn't something someone would want smeared on their shirts. Elsa was laughing hysterically though, pitying the launderers who had to clean that off. She then felt sorry for them once that thought crossed her mind, and quickly encouraged Anna to change shirts while discarding the old one to the forest. Anna then was so grateful to have a sister who was such an over-prepared packrat for anything ever.

"Anna, I think maybe that was an omen that we should head back." She figured maybe they should start to head back now, before something worse happened. After all, things couldn't possibly get worse...right?

"Nahh, a little poo never hurt anyone! Just…gets them dirty...and smelly…hey, is that a beehive?!" Anna squealed a high-pitched squeal of delight and clapped her little hands together, running quietly yet frantically to the hive hanging from the tree limb near the path.

"Beehive?! Anna, have you learned nothing from your last little encounter?! And besides, why in the world would you want to go and purposely disturb an active beehive?"

"Uh, duh?! For the honey of course! Geez, there isn't even that many bees around it. Ya know, for someone so smart, you sure don't think too much. That's why you should hang around me more often, so you can learn how to think more like me!"

"Anna, I think if I thought like you more often, this kingdom would be off the map by now…"

"What?! I can't hear you, my genius is too loud! What?" Anna just giggled to herself and looked for a huge stick to bash against the beehive with to knock it down.

"Anna, you're going to get stung mercilessly again, and I'm not going to help you."

"Pishaw! Elsa, you worry too much." Anna located a stick long enough for the job, and proceeded to calculate her precise attack against the hive.

Well, more like just swinging at the thing like a piñata.

"Anna…I think we should go…" Elsa was starting to get worried, not even hearing any birds chirping anymore. She also spotted a deer a few minutes ago near the trail eating some grass. However, while watching it, she noticed that it perked up, stuck its ears in the air as if it heard something, and watched it run away furiously into the forest like its life depended on it. "Anna…"

"Elsa, seriously; you're always so worrisome. You should try just enjoying things more! Whatever happened to that optimistic sister of mine I used to know?" Anna gave one more whack at the hive, and it fell to the ground. "Yes! Haha!" She turned to face her sister, who for some weird reason seemed frozen in place. "See, Elsa? Rule number one: always trust Anna, because Anna is the master at everything ever." She proudly looked at the hive that was swarming with only a few honey bees lying on the ground a few feet away from her, swatting them away and gathering the hive.

Elsa just gulped as her eyes widened to behind Anna, seeing now why the deer ran away. "Uhm…how about this; rule number one:" she took a deep breath, relatively calmly. Then she simply shrieked: "THERE'S A FREAKING BEAR BEHIND YOU RUN AWAY NOW!" With that, the Ice Queen quickly made a lunge for her sister's arm, yanking her away just in time as a huge black bear swung its massive paw down to where Anna had previously been standing at.

"AHH! WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST SAY SO?!" Anna was running full-force with her sister as the bear was chasing after them.

"I TRIED TO, BUT SINCE YOU JUST ARE THE MASTER AT EVERYTHING EVER I FIGURED YOU KNEW!" Elsa knew this wasn't exactly the perfect time for sarcasm, but hey; for all she knew, they could die right here and now: might as well go out with a chuckle or two.

They were running to the point that it hurt their chests to breathe, and their legs were starting to get tired. Anna looked down at the hive and then back at the approaching bear when suddenly, a plan appeared in her mind; "Wait! I have an idea!" Anna turned to face the direction the bear was coming from. It was only a few yards away, and closing in fast. She took the hive, cracked it open to get the smell of the honey oozing into the air, and chucked it as hard as she could in the opposite direction the bear was running in. As it zoomed past the bear's head, it caught a whiff of the scent of the honey, and chased after it instead. The sisters looked at each other, back at the bear, and back at each other again. After this, they ran as fast as they could back to the castle, to avoid what could have been a bear's changed mind.


They finally reached the gates, and sprinted inside seeing that they were finally home. After panting and crying ridiculously over what was one of the most indescribably terrifying moments in their shared lives, they decided to do the things they felt they needed to do most. First, they hugged each other intensely upon seeing that their sisterly counterpart was still alive and kicking. They went to their shared room, and plopped down on Elsa's comfy mattress. Anna was the first to speak up,

"Hey, Elsa?"

"Hmm?"

"Thanks for saving us today."

"I didn't save us, you did! If you didn't throw that hive, we would be being chomped down on by now."

Anna chuckled lightly, "Yeah, but if you didn't freak out on me, I would have been dead! So…thank you." Realization dawned on Anna, "The hive! Drat! Can we go back and get it? I wanted honey tonight!"

Elsa jerked her head towards her seemingly demented sister, "Anna, SERIOUSLY?!"

"Relax! I was only kidding…hehe…"

"No you weren't."

Anna muttered to herself, "Psh, yes I was…Anyways…yeah, you did save me. If you didn't speak up, I would've been so dead. So, thanks…" She twisted her body to give her sister a hug, and a little kiss on the cheek.

Elsa giggled, "How come you don't act like this more often?"

Anna shrugged, "Well, I was busy today planning my revenge on you. I thought the hike was going to be enough. But, after the bear attack, I figured that well, we're…sorta even now?" Anna grinned shyly as she waited for a reply from her sister.

Elsa tapped her chin in thought, "Hmm…well, I suppose that makes sense. After all, it seems for some reason nature hates us with some kind of weird passion."

Anna just scoffed, "Yeah, but it totally hates you more"

Elsa gave a playful gasp, "Does not!"

"Does too!"

"Does not!"

"Does too!"

After a few playful rounds of who nature hates the most, they decided to change and get comfy for the night. After a while, they let the day catch up with them; making them both feel the sudden rush of exhaustion and fatigue rest upon their tired forms. They both stayed in Elsa's bed, being the more comfortable choice at that moment in time, and turned to face one another to get into a better cuddling position. After all, cuddling is nice.
