Elsa Tomago- Here's the update, sorry for the long wait. Tight schedule but in all, I managed to make time to write the this chapter.
Chapter 6 Prepare to meet
Elsa and Anna raced down the halls of the castle to meet their parents who were by the castle's gates. Anna, who is not entirely graceful still managed to jump on the railing of the staircase, holding onto her stuff and slid down, putting her in the lead. Elsa coated the whole staircase in ice, threw her stuff and herself onto it. Once they reached the bottom, Elsa melted the ice and they continued racing. Dashing through the open doors and jumping off the top of the stairs, they skidded to a halt in front of the castle gates. Elsa and Anna panted in exhaustion as they were both hunched over.
"I win." Anna panted.
"Whatever." Elsa said.
"Win what?" Idun asked.
"A race." Elsa said.
"Why?" Idun asked.
"Well…Anna has the whole story here." Elsa indicated to Anna.
"Fine, well you see…IsleptinandElsahadtowakemeupandwebothrushedtogetdressedandwhenwelookedatthetimeandsawitwasonlythirtyminutesbeforetheboatleavessowedecidedtoracedownthestairs,jumpedoffthetopofthestairsoverthereandskiddedtoahalthereandthat'sthewholething." Anna took in a deep breath and looked at her parents. "Did you get it?"
Idun and Agdar blinked twice before saying, "Eh?"
"What Anna was trying to say, she slept in and I had to wake her up, we got dressed and saw it was only thirty minutes before the boat leaves and we decided to race to the castle gates." Elsa smiled.
Idun's jaw dropped, "You actually understand what she was saying?" Elsa nodded.
"It's not hard once she does it to you constantly." Elsa said.
"Thank you so much for making them understand what I said, translator." Anna said.
"No problem." Elsa smiled.
"Let'sgoontheboat,thesoonerwe'reontheboathtesoonwereachIcelandia." Anna skipped out the castle gates.
"When is she going to stop?" Agdar asked.
"I have no idea." Elsa said as they trailed behind Anna. Reaching to the docks and boarding the boat, they were off to Icelandia.
*Five hours later*
"Elsa I'm bored." Anna said as she walked into Elsa's room on the boat.
"What?" Elsa looked up from her book.
"I'm bored."
"C-can you repeat t-that?"
"I am bored."
"For a minute there I thought you were…wait, you're bored?" Anna nodded.
"Anna, the fun-loving, adventurous, feisty, enthusiastic...am I missing something?" Elsa looked at Anna.
"Fearless?"
"Yes, fearless Princess is bored?"
"Yes, I really want something to do." Anna whined.
"I have a tons of books, why don't you read?" Elsa suggested.
"Reading will make me even more bored."
"Well, here's a marker. Find something to do with that." Elsa saw Anna uncover the marker and started smiling at her. "Don't even think about it."
"I'm just going to draw."
"Where?"
"On your face." Anna said and Elsa sighed. "Well, I don't know. You tell me what to do." Anna said.
"Why don't you ask Mama and Papa?" Elsa said.
"They're sleeping, how can I…wait Elsa, you're a genius. Let's go." Anna grabbed Elsa by her hand and began dragging her out of the room.
"Anna what are you going to do?"
"Something." They stopped in front of their parent's room. Elsa looked at Anna who had a big grin on her face.
"What are you going to do, I'm serious." Anna opened the door and tip toed inside, completely ignoring Elsa's question. Elsa sighed and tip toed in after her.
"Okay, what to do?" Anna asked herself.
"Huh?"
"Should I give Mama a goatee or a mustache?" Anna whispered to herself, completely ignoring the fact that Elsa was there.
"You're not going to do that right?" Elsa asked.
"No, I should do both and give her a monocle as well." Anna started to draw on Idun's face. Once Anna was finished, she stood back and admire her work. "We should go now before they wake up." Elsa sighed and they tip toed back out. Moments later their parents woke up.
"What?" Idun said, Agdar was staring at her with this funny look on his face. It wasn't a funny ha-ha look, it was just a funny weird look.
"Since when you grew a beard?" He asked.
"What beard?" she got up off the bed an walked over to the full length mirror. She looked in the mirror and saw herself with a beard and a monocle over her eye. "Really?" she turned to Agdar.
"I didn't do it."
"I'm so gonna believe it. Where's the marker?"
"I'm telling the truth, it wasn't me." She crossed her arms and huffed at him. He got off the bed and walked to the door. "See you at lunch." He walked out of the room.
Elsa and Anna came walking in. "Hi Mama." They both greeted.
"Hello, did one of you do this." She indicated to the beard and the monocle on her face.
"Nope." Elsa said.
"…no." Anna said.
"You hesitated." Idun said.
"What….no I did not….hesitate." Anna said.
"And you're doing it again." Elsa said.
"Did you do this?" Idun asked Anna.
"Nuh uh." Anna answered a little too quickly for Idun. Idun gave her a questioning look. "Fine I did it because Elsa made me."
"What?" Elsa looked at Anna. "I did not tell you to go and give Mama all that on her face. I gave you the marker so you can stop being bored and stop complaining about it."
"Well you shouldn't've given me the marker in the first place."
"Did you want to read?"
"No but I would've asked someone else for something to do."
"Well I'm heading to lunch, see you there."
"Okay, coming Mama?" Anna asked.
"Yes but I'm going to wash this off, hopefully it's not permanent." Idun said.
"Nope, it isn't." Anna said. "See you at lunch."
"Will be there." Idun said as Anna walked out of the room.
Kristoff was walking back to the castle with Olaf.
"They left on a trip." Kristoff said.
"Yeah, why?"
"To go a royal ball in Icelandia."
"Yeah, go on."
"That's it." Kristoff said.
"Oh, hey isn't those Elsa and Anna's pups?" Olaf said, Kristoff looked by the castle doors and saw Ruby, Snowflake and Sunshine sitting in front of the door but they didn't look like their fun selves, they looked sad. Kristoff walked up to them.
"Hi there you three." Kristoff petted Ruby's head but Ruby didn't jumped up or licked his hand, she just sat there and looked up at him.
"What's wrong with them?" Olaf asked.
"I think they miss Elsa and Anna." Kristoff said. Ruby, Sunshine and Snowflake got up and walked inside and Nichole came out.
"Hello Master Kristoff." Nichole said.
"Hello Nichole, what's wrong with Elsa and Anna's pups?"
"They miss their owners, they are not even playing with anything or each other. It's really sad to see them like this."
"Yeah, did Anna or Elsa told them goodbye?"
"I can't recall them saying anything like that to their pups."
"That's why they're sad, Elsa and Anna must've forgot about them before they leave." Nichole nodded in agreement.
"Today was so boring, hopefully tomorrow will be better." Anna said as she laid down on Elsa's bed.
"Anna are you sleeping on my bed?"
"Mmm…no." Anna answered before she fell asleep on the bed. Elsa sighed and laid down next to her and soon she fell asleep. The next morning Anna felt the covers being pulled off of her. She got up and saw Elsa curled up under the sheets, sleeping. Anna then heard the sound of rain, thunder and the flash of lightning in one.
"That's why she took it." Anna mumbled, she snatched it back and fell back to sleep. Elsa awoke and saw that Anna had the whole blanket on her.
"Really Anna." Elsa sighed and took it away from her but Elsa saw that one of her hands were clutching it.
"Not so fast, you took it first." Anna said as she jumped up.
"What the…I thought you were sleeping and what do you mean by I took it first?" Elsa said.
"You took it while you were sleeping moments ago." Anna said.
"No I did not."
"Yes you did."
"No I did not, if I did, Mama would walk in here right now and take this blanket away from us." The door opened to reveal Idun, she came in and took the blanket away from them and walked back out.
"So you didn't do it right?" Anna raised a brow.
"That was just a coincidence, she wouldn't walk back in and while we're over by the window, sneak into my bed." Elsa sarcastically said. Elsa and Anna got up and walked over by the window but kept an eye on the door. As soon as they tore their gaze away from the door, Idun snuck into Elsa's bed.
"So you did it right?" Anna asked as she saw her mother on the bed.
"Yes, yes I did." Elsa sighed. "Wait were you listening?" Elsa asked Idun.
"Yes and Elsa did it." No one didn't notice the frightened tone of Idun's voice. After a while they felt the boat tilt almost halfway to the right. Idun gripped the bed post and her breathing quickened. Elsa and Anna grabbed ahold of each other and screamed. Soon after the boat went back to its original position.
"What was that?" Elsa squeaked.
"You tell me what was that, at least we only have one more day but it's not even lunch yet." Anna said.
"Let's go for breakfast. Hopefully we can all find something to do."
"Sure, you coming Mama?" Anna asked and got no response from her. They walked over to the bed and saw Idun sleeping. "Maybe we'll come back after lunch." Elsa nodded in agreement and they both left for breakfast. After breakfast they all went to Anna's room to play chess.
"When can I play?" Elsa asked for the fifth time.
"When I win ten times." Anna said.
"How many times did you win?"
"Four."
"How many times did Papa win?"
"Six." Anna said.
"Well when is this game going to end." Elsa sighed.
"It's going to end now, checkmate!" Anna shouted. "I won."
"You still have five more to do." Elsa said.
"I lied, I wanted to see if you think I would really play over ten games if Papa won two times after I won?" Anna smile.
"No not really. You're not capable of playing all those games."
"Is that a challenge?"
"Sort of but I'm already playing." Elsa said.
"Papa is a skilled player so be warned you might lose."
"I taught Papa how to play, this should be easy." After many games, Elsa couldn't believe that her father was better than her. She won many games between Anna, her mother and her father but now he took that title away from her. "How are you winning all of this?" she whined.
"Anna told me everything you do in these games." Agdar said.
"Like if." Elsa scoffed. Elsa moved her hand to one of the chess pieces.
"You're going to move your rook." Anna said and received a growl from Elsa. "Your bishop." Elsa glared at her. "The knight."
"Would you stop that." Elsa said.
"Nope, I would not because you insulted me."
"No I did not." Elsa said and turned her attention back to the game.
"Pawn." Elsa ignored her. "The horse."
"That's the knight." Elsa said.
"I know, I'm just playing around." When Elsa realize that she was losing, Anna sold out her move. "You're going to move your Queen over to Papa's King and earn a checkmate."
Elsa groaned, "Why did you do that for?"
"I don't know maybe it was the fact that you stole my chocolate."
"What chocolate?" Elsa turned confused.
"The ones in your hand." Elsa raised her hand up to reveal a three chocolate bars.
"That's mine." Elsa said.
"Liar." Anna snatched the bar and ran out of the room.
"Anna! Give me back my chocolate." Elsa ran after Anna. For the last day, they all did something. Anna nagged Elsa all day even though Elsa was reading a book, she knew how Anna felt. Agdar and Idun were reading a book as well but in all, they couldn't bear to be stuck on a boat this long especially Anna. Anna was sleeping peacefully when a guard woke her up and told Anna that they had arrived. Anna bolted out of bed, grabbed Elsa and her parents. Soon after they were all walking down the docks.
Crystal was looking at the different boats that were coming in the docks when Grace walked in.
"Hey Crystal, the guests are here." Grace said.
"I'm coming to meet them." Crystal walked away from the window and follow Grace to the ballroom. Telling the guards to open the doors, she stood in front of her throne, welcoming all the guests that come to greet her. Queen Angie, King Chris and their son, Prince Andy and their twins Prince Christopher and Princess Christine walked up to them.
"Hello there Crystal." Angie said.
"Hi Angie and to everyone else." Crystal said and the other four smiled at her. "I'm guessing Andy came to see Sophie huh?" Andy nodded. "I think Sophie is over by the buffet table." The four of them left to go by the buffet table. Leaving Angie and Crystal there.
"Hello again Crystal." Angie smiled.
"Hi again auntie." Crystal giggled and hugged Angie. "Are you going to help me find my family?" Angie nodded.
"Why wouldn't I help my niece get back to her real family huh?" Crystal shrugged.
"Should I go outside by the gates or stay here." Crystal asked.
"You should go by the gates and greet all the people that comes through, I'll stay here just in case they didn't get to greet you, they can't miss me once they walk in that door. Now go along, they could be walking through any minute now."
"Okay." Crystal said and slipped out of the room.
"Icelandia is so huge." Anna said as she walked through the town.
"Yeah it is." Elsa agreed. They walked through the white gate which all the decorations were gold. Admiring the castle, it was white, the roof was blue and the shield-like crocus was blue with a red shadow of a swordfighter.
They walked in the castle. "What will it be like if we live here?" Anna asked.
"Why are you asking that?" Elsa said.
Anna shrugged, "No reason, just wondering."
"I don't think it'll be any different from how we live back at Arendelle." Idun said.
"True but getting lost in halls even though you spent your whole life there." Anna said. "And not to mention a whole lot more guards."
"Don't forget servants." Elsa added. Anna started to twirl while she was walking down the halls. "Please stop that, you're going to hit someone."
"Nonsense Elsa, there's no one here." At that same time Anna turned the corner, Crystal was walking. Anna knocked into her and they both fell, sprawled out on top of each other. Anna jumped up and started rambling out apologizes.
"I'm so, so, so sorry. I didn't see you there but it was my fault. My sister warned me but I didn't listen to her. Sorry, sorry, are you okay, of course you're not okay, I knocked you down and-" Anna was cut short when she saw the person raised a hand and shook her head.
"No worries, I didn't see you there either. Now, can you help me up?" Anna nodded and helped her up. "Have you seen my crown?"
"Your crown…there it is." Anna picked up her crown and gave it to her. "My name is Anna, Princess Anna."
"My name is Crystal, Queen Crystal Aphrodite Winter-Jewel of Icelandia." Crystal looked away from them. "Though I'm not much into middle names but I love my own because it reminds me of my real parents." Crystal looked back at them and saw their eyes widen. "Was it something I said." They shook their heads and Idun walked up to her.
"Do you know who I am?" Idun asked.
"No, not really." Crystal said.
"Picnic? Parents? Ambush? Separated from family? Ring any bell?" Agdar walked up to her as well, Crystal looked at both of them until her eyes went wide. She scrunched her eyes shut while images of her three year old self playing with the two people that were standing in front of her now. Hearing herself shouting Mama and Papa at the same people. Then the image changed to picnic with herself and the same people were with her, After it turned into an ambush and then changed to when she was thrown far away from them and looking for them afterwards. She got lost and the King and Queen from Icelandia found her and took her in. Crystal opened her eyes and looked at them again. Before Idun could've said one word, Crystal engulfed her in a hug and started to cry as well as Idun.
Crystal rested her head on Idun's shoulder, "I missed you."
"I missed you too, Crystal." Crystal looked up at Agdar. She released herself from Idun and he pulled her in for a hug.
"How long was it?" Crystal asked even though it was muffled because she buried her head in his shoulder.
"Twenty-one years." Idun said. Crystal raised her head up and looked at Elsa and Anna.
"Who are they?" Crystal asked Idun.
"Those are your sisters, Anna and Elsa but you met Anna already didn't you?" Crystal nodded.
"Hi Elsa."
"Hi Crystal, was it true that you actually named me before I was even born?" Elsa asked.
"Yes." Crystal looked at them and felt tears threatening to fall. Elsa and Anna saw this and went to hug her, soon after they were all hugging Crystal.
"This is a happy ending isn't it Elsa?" Anna asked.
"Yes it is." Elsa said.
Sure it may be a happy ending now but darkness comes their way soon and they will have to rely on their sister and her adoptive family on the upcoming darkness.
Next chapter will be up soon.
