Author's Note: That last chapter was kind of hard for me to write. Just coming up with the details and all that really took my time. This may be even harder... Sorry for any and all grammatical errors. Just enjoy the story. If you're a troller LEAVE MY STORIES! In fact, be a jackass somewhere else if you're a troller!

I have no time for your stupid, idiotic crap. It's just a waste of time.

Chapter III

Elizabeth excused herself from the table as soon as she finished her breakfast. The stress just thinking about the ball has been consuming her as soon as she left. Her heart was pounding, her hands were tingling, sweat began to slide down her face, she was a nervous wreck.

She now has to take a bath from her cold sweat. At least the bathroom gives you privacy. As soon as she got to the door of the bedroom she was staying in she dashed in and closed the door. Ice coated the doorknob but she didn't care.

A warm bath would calm her nerves. In fact, she forgot that ocean scent that was still on her body from yesterday.

She smelled like salty water.

She opened up the bathroom doors, turning the bath knobs, she filled the tub. She stripped off her garments after she iced the bathroom doors shut so anyone wouldn't come in. Taking a deep breath, she slid into the toasty water. She forgot to grab the soap for a relaxing bubble bath, she was too late, the magic happened as she tried to step out of the tub.

"AEIK!"

She fell into the tub which made a loud thud and there her deepest secret was. "Well this is just perfect..." She said to herself as she gazed at her secret. A shimmering blue mermaid tail. The tail on her stuck out of the tub, her beautiful, scaly fin was soaking the floors wet. Elizabeth shook her head, displeased.

This always happened every time she was submerged in water, touches it, or it touches her, only when she gets out and gets dry does she have legs. Only rain and snow cannot change her, luckily. On that day that she was found she had legs instead of a tail despite the fact that her dress was wet. Strange it was.

Elizabeth was startled to hear a knock on her door, it was the Queen. "Elizabeth, are you alright? We heard a loud thud." The mermaid in the tub widened her eyes and stuttered, "Uh... I'm a-a-alright! J-Just slipped in and fe-fell, but y-yeah! I'm o-ok!"

The Queen standing outside was suspicious. She found out that there was ice on the doorknobs when she entered the room. She just didn't say it out loud. The locked bathroom door was covered with ice and the door was completely locked. Elsa left Elizabeth to herself. The mermaid sighed with relief.

How long am I gonna be able to keep up a good, creditable, realistic facade? How long am I gonna be able to keep hiding in secrecy? I can't keep lying to Elsa...

11 Hours later (7:00 pm)...

Ballroom music was playing, the guests were laughing and having fun. When the music and dancing stopped the royals were called up to greet their subjects. Elizabeth hid in the shadows, she didn't want to be a part of it.

Instead of the casual dress she wore throughout the morning and afternoon she wore a ball gown that she created herself through her cryokinesis powers. It was, this time, white entirely with a sweetheart bodice with bluish purple lacing with three sparkly, unique, conjoined snowflake designs on it.

All of the snowflakes on her dress and bodice were bluish purple. The colors on her represented hope. She was in a hopeful mood that nothing will go wrong at the ball which gave her the inspiration to create the gown. She looks like a royal but she knows she isn't one.

After Queen Elsa and Princess Anna greeted their guests Elizabeth reluctantly stepped out to see the Queen. Elsa smiled at Elizabeth's presence. "Hi Elsa..." She shyly smiled at Elsa. The commoner girl's hair was in the same French crown braid twist bun from this morning.

"Hello Elizabeth. You look rather nice tonight." Elsa commented, making Elizabeth's pale, freckled cheeks slightly crimson. "Oh... Well, thank you. You look beautiful tonight also." The Queen giggled at her compliment.

They looked so alike when they're by each other. The hair and the skin match perfectly. Only the eyes, height, and the amount of freckles on their faces are the differences.

"Your Majesty, the King of Württemberg." Elsa's butler Kai introduced. The Queen gave a polite smile and a curtsy. He eyed Elizabeth for a few seconds before turning his attention to Elsa again. "Is this your daughter?"

The Queen shook her head. "No. She's adopted."

"Oh. Pardon me for the question."

"It's quite alright. You didn't know."

Elizabeth recognized him. Her monarch from her village. She didn't say anything, she's glad that he didn't call her out or even recognized her. She kept her calm, cool facade. She wasn't showing any nervousness or anxiety. But... Internally, she was terrified.

The King had a decent chat with Queen Elsa while Elizabeth walked with Anna and Kristoff in the gardens. The Princess was in a playful mood. She ran and pranced until she knocked Elizabeth into a large pond.

"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry Elizabeth!" Anna apologized as she tried to pull Elize out. Elize knew that she was totally soaked with water, time for a confession, "A-Anna! K-Kristoff! There's something you both should know!" She mentally counted her time.

Too late.

Her legs morphed into her mermaid tail after ten seconds. Anna and Kristoff's eyes were WIDE open when they saw her secret. They slowly began to back off from the mermaid. "No! Please! Don't leave me! I really need your help!" Elizabeth reached out her hand, her voice pleading, "Anna... Kristoff... Please..."

The Princess was the first to reluctantly grab her webbed hands. Then Kristoff took her other hand. They heard someone enter the gardens. Elizabeth gasped, "Let go of my hands. I'm going under." Her hands were released and she slowly slipped her head underwater, willing her phosphorescent skin and tail not to glow in the dark water.

The Queen has been searching for her sister only to find her with Kristoff next to the pond. "Oh. There you are. I've been looking for you." That was a fact.

"Well Elsa, I've been here with my fiancé. Don't worry about it. I'm fine!" Anna assured. Her fiancé nervously smiled. He didn't want to blurt out Elizabeth's huge secret. He was glad Elsa didn't notice. "I'm going back inside. Let me know if you've seen Elizabeth anywhere." She left Anna and Kristoff alone.

They both breathed a sigh of relief. Elizabeth popped her head out. "Anna? Is he or she gone?"

"Yeah Elizabeth. You can come out now. Here, let's give you a hand."

Anna pulled Elize out revealing her sparkling, blue tail. Kristoff was enthralled by the mermaid. He's never seen one up close and personal.

"Thanks Anna. By the way... Um... Do you have anything for me to d-dr-dry up? That's how I-I get my legs back."

"Yeah. Here." Anna handed Elizabeth her cloak. She didn't need it but kept it with her if it got chilly. After frantic drying of her tail and skin Elizabeth regained her legs.

"Thanks Anna. If you're wanting and explanation, I'll tell you later. L-Let's go back to the pa-party before anyone gets su-suspicious about what we're doing."
