Helen gave her husband a pleading glare as they all watched the two sisters waltz into the house- well, the red head- Was it Anna? Helen thought- decided to skip her way through the door, her sister walking in somewhat timid, if not grand. Bob pointed a fork at Anna, who gave a small wave.
"Honey, who is this?" he asked.
"Bob, these are our neighbors," Helen explains uncomfortably, watching as her kids eyed their clothes- both girls had dressed extremely fancy for just moving in. Then again, they mentioned servants, so they're probably extremely rich, Helen thought as Elsa nodded her head in greeting, Anna widening her smile until it looked like she was a nutcracker.
"Uh, hello!" Bob said, getting up to greet them. Violet and Dash just stared, extremely confused as to why the two girls were there. Dash suddenly perked up, poitning across teh table at the mail that was tucked under Esla's arm, "Hey! That's ours!" Elsa raised her eyebrows in confusion as Anna giggled nervously.
"Yes, Dash, we know," Helen said, "that's why they're here. To return it." Elsa held it out for Helen to take, smiling kindly, even if what Helen had said sounded a little harsh.
Well, here you are then," she said. Bob rises an eyebrow as Elsa then grabbed Anna's arm and dragged her towards the door.
"What, you aren't staying for dinner?" he asked, much to Helen and the kids' surprise. Dash rolled his eyes- he hated having company over, unless it was his friends or Lucius, who would freeze his spit.
"Oh, Elsa!" Anna exclaimed, "please?" Elsa pursed her lips. She didn't have time for this- and the Parrs definitely didn't have time for this as far as she knew. Rolling her eyes, she shook her head, ticking a blond-white strand of hair behind her ear as it fell out of her bun.
"No, Anna," she commanded, wrapping her hand around Anna's forearm, pulling her towards the door. Violet and Dash watched as Anna's skirt twirled around her legs, Elsa's own slightly more form-fitting, but still slightly billowy at the bottom. Leaning over to his sister, Dash asked, "Why do you think they're so dressed up?" Violet shrugged, pushing her black hair out of her face, although it only fell back in place, obscuring her vision slightly.
"Dunno," she said, "but they look nice." Violet felt a sort of envy- especially as she looked at Anna, with her bright dress and cheery disposition. Helen was about to sit back down when her husband called after them, "Are you sure? I know it's last minute, but we could get some plates and forks!" Helen and Elsa rolled their eyes- neither rod them wanted to spend another minute together- it was interfering with whatever plans either of them had made. For Helen, it was getting the kids done and ready for school the next day, maybe calling up Lucius' wife Honey and having her over later. But for Elsa and Anna, it was completely different.
They had a coronation to get to. And not just any coronation- Elsa's.
"Hey, why are you all dressed up like that?!" Dash suddenly shouted, making elsa jump, Anna turning gear head to face him.
"Dash!" Helen scolded.
"Huh?" was Anna's reply, looking as if she was unsure she heard the question correctly.
"What's with the fancy get-ups, huh?" Dash continued, much to Helen's annoyance. The Parrs watched as Elsa started to turn red, Anna biting her lip as she tried not to burst with excitement. Jumping up and down, Anna clutched Elsa's arm, shaking it.
"Can i tell them, Elsa?!" she asked, talking a mile a minute, "Can I?!" Elsa gave them an apologetic smile, placing a hand on her sister's shoulder, then immediately pulling away. That's weird, Helen thought. Apparently, Anna had noticed too, for she said, "Elsa, don't be so hesitant!"
"I-I know, but-" Elsa began, gulping.
"It's okay, Elsa," Anna said, "there's no need to hide it."
"But I- Elsa began, sending the Parr family a quick look before leaning in. Bob tried leaning closer, cupping an ear to hear better.
"Bob!" Helen said pointedly, making her husband sit back in his chair, whistle as if he was not trying to listen in on a conversation. Of course, she couldn't help but overhear her as well:
"Anna, I froze you to death last time!"
"Yeah, but I'm okay," Anna said, "I'm still here, aren't I?"
"Yes, but-"
"…. Is everything okay?" Bob cut in, catching the sister's attention. Anna sent them a wide grin, nodding her head. The green ribbons entwined in her braided bun swayed as she did so.
"Yeah, Elsa's just nervous is all," she explained, "kinda like the 'first day jitters' and all that!"
"Anna!" Elsa gave her sister a worried look.
"What, Elsa?" Ana asked, "it isn't anything to be ashamed of!" At this, Elsa began to laugh- nervous titters that came out in spurts, slowly dying out as she heaved a sigh.
"You don't have any magical powers!" Elsa hissed. Violet and Dash exchanged looks- did she say what they thought she said?
"Come on, Elsa!" Anna suddenly cried, throwing her hands up in the air, "you can't hide it forever!"
"Yes I can!" Elsa shot back. Rolling her eyes, Anna then searched the Parr's mail, throwing envelopes this ways and that until they littered the floor in a disarray. Finally, she pulled out a newspaper, snapping open the front page, "See? They didn't hide it!"
Helen watched as Anna shoved the paper at her sister, gasping as soon as she saw the cover picture.
"Helen?" Bob asked, looking at her, then at the sisters, then back at her. Helen shushed him, clearing her throat before asking, "So, what is it, this big event that has you all doll dup?"
"Oh! Well, our house next door?" Anna began, pointing in the direction of their home, although it looked like she was talking about the window.
"Anna!" Elsa warned, a nervous gleam in her blue eyes. Anna ignored her, instead saying, "Well, that's our summer home-"
"Summer home?" Violet cut in, cocking her head. Anna nodded.
"Yes," she said, "anyway, that's our summer home. We're on our way back to Arendelle-"
"Arendelle?" Bob interrupted, "where's that?"
"Norway-" Elsa said, opening her mouth again only to have Anna jump in.
"Yeah, so we're going back because Elsa has this thing-"
"What thing?" Violet asked, a hint of suspicion in her voice.
"Nothing-" Elsa tried, but Anna at the same time said, "Her coronation! She's becoming Queen!"
The room went silent, Elsa and the Parr family a mix of surprised and angry, Anna beaming with joy at the prospect of her sister moving up on the royalty food chain.
