Quarter Alert! Quarter Alert! This is not a simulation!

Quarter Alert…

The warning continued on for a little while longer. Elsa inhaled as she stood on her balcony, preparing herself for her programmed duties. Stopping Anna from trying to reach her Ice Palace.

"I can do this." She finally exhaled as she gazed at her sister from the bottom of the mountain.

Elsa wasn't certain that Anna was watching her, but this became clear when the younger royal gave her an assuring thumbs-up. The Queen let out a small chortle and gave her sister a small wave.

She still wasn't sure of any of this, but whenever Ralph reassured her, surprisingly, she believed him.

Wreck-It Ralph…

She held back the laugh bubbling inside of her. The longer she hung out with him, the more amusing he was; it wasn't long before Elsa began to reflect of yesterday's events.

Elsa and Ralph were back in her Ice Palace, she had finally convinced Kai to go back to her home in Arendelle. Once he realized that Ralph meant no harm to Elsa, he gladly complied and even wished her good luck with solving her power problem.Anna, who really wanted to stay and help, had rejoined her fiancé and Felix. Elsa was still iffy about blessing the marriage, but if he truly made her younger sister happy, then who was she to break that up. It'd be a little longer before she finalized her decision.

Elsa shifted a bit on the step of her ice staircase and waited for Ralph to begin his theories.
"Ok, El, here's the gist of it." Ralph started as he slowly paced in front of his friend, careful as to not slip and fall on his rear. "Your powers are connected through your emotions. Remember when you first showed me your powers and everything was all fine and dandy?" Ralph paused as he watched Elsa nod her head.

"I do." She simply replied and waited for Ralph to continue.

Ralph smiled as he tucked his hands on the small of his back, "Good! Now can you tell me what was going through your mind at the time?"

Elsa felt her cheeks warming up, she seemed like she was caught off guard by Ralph's question. She tilted her head towards the ground and rubbed her hands together as the memory flooded her mind. She remembered that as she was showing Ralph her powers, various thoughts ran through her mind, many of them being happy and warm thoughts from when she used to entertain Anna when they were kids. But the one that overpowered them all was the thought of making a new friend with the giant before her. It hadn't even been twenty minutes before they knew much about each other and had shared similar hardships.

Elsa would never admit that she wanted to be close to Ralph, because she knew she'd just have to push him away. Just like she had to do with her sister.

But if Ralph was right about this, that's when she'd start closing the gaps and mending bonds.

The giant noticed her startled expression and figured she forgot. Lord knows he didn't want to pressure her. "Uh, it's ok if you forgot," Elsa snapped her attention to Ralph, and soon the two were talking over each other.

"I guess-"

"No, no I-"

"we'll have to try something-."

"didn't forget." Elsa shook her head and repeated her sentence, Ralph's attention now on her once more.

"I remember everything." She saw where Ralph was getting at, the memories of the past would help her control her powers.

The two smiled at each other for a brief moment before Ralph interrupted the moment with wanting a demonstration. The Queen rose to her feet and descended down her steps, still skeptical and a bit nervous.

"Ralph, I'm not so sure ab-"

But Ralph just interrupted her by waving his giant hand at her, "Aaah, you'll be fine, you can do this, Elsa! Just start small!" He encouraged before offering his hand to help her move down the rest of the steps.

Elsa sighed and simply turned her head away from Ralph, her hand nervously rubbing the other. "It's not myself I'm worried about…" she murmured before turning her head back to her friend, now noticing his helping hand. She was almost breathless as a familiar, yet comforting silence filled the air once again. Elsa stared at his hand for what felt like an eternity, so many thoughts swirling through her mind causing her to hesitate, but Ralph just stood there patiently. Now was the time to make a decision, and she didn't want to keep him or herself in wonder any longer. The Queen gradually began to extend her tiny, elegant, hand out to Ralph's giant palm and comfortably rest it on his fingertip, and finished her way down her steps.

Ralph's smile was almost unexplainable; it was relieved, relieved that she took his hand and didn't feel like a fool for offering, and his eyes had this admiring look. Elsa's sparkling dress looked astounding as the light hit her. He began admiring her all over again like he had that morning, but this time his eyes was focused on her dress. The way that the top sparkled like crystals in the sun, and the snowflake designs she had on her sleeves that ran up around her shoulders, then there was the way the dress hugged her body. The giant was awkward enough, but he didn't want to seem like a pervert by staring at her body. Nonetheless, he did notice her petite and curvy figure along with her nicely shaped hips. It was hard to believe that she made her dress from ice, which brought something else to his attention…would it melt in intense heat…?

Ralph quickly pushed the thoughts from his head once Elsa spoke, letting him know that she was ready to get on with the practice, the only problem was Ralph was holding her hand.

"Ralph." Elsa giggled, letting him know of the small situation.

"Huh—oh sorry!" He nervously chuckled before letting go of her hand, sending it flying to the back of his head and awkwardly rubbing it. The giant took a few steps back, and gave Elsa her practice space.

"Alright, blondie, show me what you can do!"

"Oh!" Elsa gasped as she snapped out of her thoughts and remembered the quarter alert. She was glad she didn't take up too much time indulged in her thoughts. "Alright…Let the storm rage on."

Meanwhile, Ralph waited for closing time out in Game Central Station, it was fairly empty with the acceptation of those who had their games unplugged. And since it was a slow day for Fix-It Felix Jr., Ralph decided to wait for Elsa so they could practice a bit more. In the meantime, Ralph chatted with Q*bert for a while about how things were going in Niceland and how he was helping Elsa. Now Ralph understood Q*bert to a certain degree, but this was something new coming from his circular friend, his speech bubble characters were different from before, it was filled with romantic like characters. Also, he was making flirty eyes.

"Wha-? What are you talking about Q*bert! It's not like that at all!" Ralph denied, earning and eye roll from Q*bert. He knew Ralph was acting different for a reason, and he just may have found out why. He knew it just took a little more time for Ralph to admit it, and he'll gladly give him all the time he needed.

"She's just a friend is all!" He responded once he got another look from Q*bert. Honestly, Ralph was excited at the phrase; he hadn't really had a friend before, at least not a friend like Elsa. If anything, Q*Bert should be having this conversation with Felix. The short carpenter had no problem displaying his fondness for Elsa's sister, but something about that guy she was with felt off. He was just too perfect! Maybe she should ask Elsa next time he sees her.

Attention! The arcade is now closing!

Ralph patiently waited by Frozen's plug and awaited for Elsa to join him, but instead, out came Anna and Hans. Anna was laughing and giggling, arm hooked around his and leaning on his shoulder. Ralph stared at the two in wonder and quickly shook his head once Anna noticed him.

"Oh! Good evening Ralph!" The Princess said with such a happy smile and finally letting go of Hans's arm.

"Hey there Anna. Hans. How'd today go?" He asked, while clasping his hands together.

"Still haven't made it to the top of that mountain, but I know I will someday!" She cheerfully replied.

Ralph couldn't help but smile at her upbeat and optimistic attitude, "I'm sure you will." With that, he gave her a thumbs up and soon the pair were off. Ralph had waited by Frozen for at least ten more minutes, before wondering where Elsa was. He almost faced palmed himself for not asking Anna before she left. It wasn't long before Ralph made the decision to go in her game and look for her, but was stopped by the sound of a familiar voice calling his name. A rather down familiar voice. When Ralph turned around, he saw that it was Felix. He looked so down today, he wondered what could have happened seeing as he was fine yesterday.

"Oh hey Felix, you ok there?" Ralph asked as a he used his hand to reach over and hug his arm.

Felix had his hat in hand, and gaze toward the ground, he really wanted someone to talk to and as of now, he felt that Ralph was the only person he could talk to. "Uh, did the Princess leave already?"

Ralph nodded, "Yup. A little more than ten minutes ago…uh would you like to head to Elsa's place with me?"

The short carpenter nodded and followed Ralph, explaining his gloomy mood. He had found out yesterday that the Princess that he was falling for, was engaged to that Prince Hans fellow. He rambled a bit on how she said it was 'true love' and they planned to wed soon. Ralph couldn't help but show sympathy, he had never seen Felix like this before, and was glad that he didn't mention that he saw the two together earlier.

"How about you just hang with me and Elsa for a bit?" Ralph offered, "I'm sure she wouldn't mind."

Felix nodded and placed his hat back on his head. He felt like he should take a little time away from everyone else and enjoy the peace and quiet at Elsa's castle. "Thank you, Ralph."

Atop of the North Mountain, Elsa was gazing forlornly at Arendelle. Since the game wasn't going, there was no snow or ice covering the kingdom, after the game play the snow had cleared, just like she predicted with Kai. From her balcony, she had an amazing view of her former home, but it saddened her knowing that the people she loved, despised her. All because of this curse.

The Queen looked at her hands and felt foolish, remembering the event of freezing Arendelle due to losing her temper a few days ago. Maybe this is why the citizens called her a monster, maybe she actually was a monster and was just fooling herself—fooling everyone. Elsa curled her hands into fists and slammed them in frustration. "There's only so much I can do," She spoke, her voice cracking a bit as she did. "…I can only bring chaos. Nothing good could possibly come from my powers…Not anymore." She murmured to herself. "I'm such a fool, thinking I can control a curse."

Elsa became teary eyed as she gazed back over Arendelle and wished to be a regular human being.

"There she is!" Ralph proclaimed, his gaze fixated on the Ice Castle's balcony. Felix shifted his less-gloomy look, to Elsa and noticed something that Ralph probably noticed too, she seemed so sad. Ralph rubbed his hand through his hair and hoped that he hadn't made her upset again.

"Is she okay?" Felix asked, now completely snapped out of his gloomy state.

Ralph shook his head, completely unsure. "I hope so; don't want her losing control of her powers. Let's hurry inside." Felix didn't hesitate to agree, especially since he remembered the blizzard she created.

After the two entered inside Ralph called for his friend, "Elsa? It's me, Ralph!" He would have wandered through the upper part of the castle, but the steps were made of ice and compared to the steps outside, the ones leading upstairs to her room seemed mighty small. One step and—shatter! Of course Felix could fix it with his hammer, but wrecking Elsa's home was something he wouldn't be fond of.

Elsa perked up when she heard her name being called. She was sure it was Ralph, but she didn't even see him appear below her. She was probably too lost in her thoughts. The Queen wiped her tear filled eyes and began to meet up with Ralph.

Elsa had kept her distance by staying at the top of her staircase. She could have sworn she heard Ralph talking to someone as she came down the flight of steps that connected to her chambers. "Hello Ralph. I-I'm sorry, I forgot that we were supposed to meet at Game Central today." She gave a nervous smile and rubbed the tip of her finger.

But Ralph just waved her off. "Neh, it's alright! I just figured something may have come up, you feeling ok?" He finally asked.

Elsa's head tilted downward before she somberly nodded, "I'm fine." And that's when she noticed, "Oh, your friend?"

Felix removed his hat and introduced himself, "I'm Fix-It Felix Jr., ma'am, from the game Fix-It Felix Jr. It's a pleasure to meet you, Queen Elsa."

Elsa giggled, "A pleasure to meet you as well, Felix."

"He was the one who joined Anna, a few days ago, to find you." Ralph chipped in.

Then she suddenly remembered the short figure that was travelling with her sister at that time, she honestly thought it was the distance, but he actually was half of Anna's height. "Oh! Thank you for keeping my sister out of trouble, and I'm so sorry about th-"

"No worries ma'am!" Felix interrupted as he waved a finger, "And there's no need to apologize, really." Felix reassured her, earning a smile of gratefulness from the Queen.

Ralph smiled, glad that the two got along so well, "Felix is gonna hang out with us for a while." Ralph began as Elsa preceded down her ice staircase, this time her long ice cape trailing behind her, making a light tap sound each step she descended down. "You don't mind, do you?" Ralph asked, not wanting Elsa to feel uncomfortable due to bringing a stranger into her home.

As the blonde reached the final step, she just shook her head, "I don't mind at all." She admitted as she approached Ralph, "I can tell he has a good heart."

The giant gave a relaxed smile, how could someone so kind be labeled as a Bad Guy? There was nothing bad about Elsa at all, there had to be some mistake.

"Jiminy jimany!" Gasped Felix, gaining the attention of both Ralph and Elsa. "This cape of yours, it's amazing!" Reaching down to lift the ends, Felix began to expect the materials it was made out of. It was a bit heavy, but not heavy enough to weigh her down. At first, the short carpenter suspected they were diamonds, due to the way they shined in the light, but a closer look later Felix was amazed once more. "Is this made of ice?" He finally asked.

Elsa gave off her elegant giggle and confirmed it, "Yes! I made this whole dress myself with my powers."

Astonished, Felix followed the cape trail to Elsa's dress and if he didn't know any better he was sure that Elsa was flustered by the compliment.

And she thought nothing good could come from her powers.

"Isn't this great, Hans?" Anna dreamily sighed. The couple had been game jumping and running around Game Central for a few hours now, exploring as much as they could, along the way Anna had explained how they figured out Elsa's powers worked. However, little did Anna know, that Hans was plotting to change all that. For now, he'd just have to settle with his game of charades with Anna for a little while longer.

The two had settled on the beach in Dance Central 2, they even met Riptide Crew's Bodie and Emilia. They were very nice and welcomed the couple onto the beach with open arms. The two dancers knew the rules and regulations about game jumping, and were well aware of Frozen being a new game.

Emilia stepped forward from Bodie, surpassing Anna's height; but a bit shorter than Hans. "Now I know you guys are new here, and I'm pretty sure you're familiar with the rules. But please stay away from the water, especially if we're not near. The currents can get pretty strong." Of course in their attire she knew they were less likely to go swimming, but for future references.

Anna nodded, "Oh, no need to worry; we're just here for the view!" She stated happily while gently knocking her knuckles together.

Emilia smiled and didn't want to keep the two waiting any longer. "Alright, all yours!" The brunette placed her hands on her hips and stepped aside to let the two pass through.

The blonde dancer joined next to Emilia's side, giving her a bro-fist once they were reunited. "Oh yeah!" Bodie's deep voice bellowed to the couple, earning their attention, "And if you ever want some dance lessons, I'm your guy!" He charmed, "Just be sure you find us after closing time." Anna loved dancing and assured him that she'd be around in her free time.

As Hans and Anna finally began their small venture along the boardwalk, Emilia jabbed her elbow into her blonde friend's side. She could read Bodie like a book.

"H-Hey!" He chuckled, "What was that for?"

Emilia rolled her eyes and began jabbing a finger into his built chest, "You try to hit on her and her man is standing right there—you're unbelievable!" She finally threw her hands up and went to join the rest of her crew mates.

Bodie began stammering, poorly attempting to get his story straight. "Wh-E-Emilia, whaddya mean? You don't think I'm that type of guy, do you? 'Milia?!"

Hans smiled and wrapped an arm around Anna's shoulder, confirming that he did, in fact, enjoy the nice view. "I hope you're enjoying yourself, as well."

Anna immediately nodded, "Yeah of course I am! We should come swimming here one day!"

That actually didn't sound too bad to the young Prince. "That sounds like a great idea! Maybe we can invite Elsa and get her out of her shell a bit."

"Yes!" Anna squealed, "Ooh and we can invite Ralph and Felix too!"

Hans froze for a second, "Ralph and Felix? Well we have to make sure they aren't too busy."

"Nonsense, I'm sure they don't have much to do after closing time!" Anna guaranteed.

Hans chuckled and pulled Anna a bit closer to him, "Then if you're so sure, then I'd be happy for them to tag along."

The Princess giggled and snuggled into her fiancé's embrace, the thought of how their marriage will play out going through her imagination. She was anxious about asking, and if anyone saw her face, it was obvious that something was on her mind. Her toes began to fidget within the tan, warm sand. This was it, she had to ask now. She inhaled through her mouth, "Hey—"

"HAAANS!" Interrupted a rather elderly voice, Anna and Hans both turned their heads in the direction of the voice. It was the Duke, what could he want? Ruining such a moment. "Ah, there you are!" He huffed, he was practically breathless. The two quickly rose from the sand and joined the breathless Duke.

"Is everything ok? What's wrong?" Hans asked frantically, seeming concerned for the old man's heath at this point.

The Duke shook his head, "There is something we must discuss…" The Duke glancing at Anna, "Man to man." Hinting that it was much more private situation.

"Oh, o-ok." The Princess nervously smiled as she stepped around them, "I'll just hang out with Emilia and Bodie until you two are done."

Hans apologized and promised to make this as quickly as possible.

Hans scowled, "What is it? I'm kind of in the mid—"

"It's the Queen!" He whispered harshly.

Puzzled, "Elsa? What about her?"

"It seems she and Ralph have grown a bit closer to each other." The Duke informed while making sure the two couldn't be heard. If you're going to carry out that plan of yours, you're going to have to isolate her."

"I know, and from what Anna's told me, she's learning how to control her powers. Apparently they're connected to her emotions…" Hans began to muse on the thought, until it hit him like lightning! "I've got it! Alright Duke I have a favor to ask of you. A big favor."

"So, Princess, how'd you hook up with a guy like that?" Emilia casually asked before drinking from her water bottle.

Anna chuckled at the funny story and began to tell it, earning an odd look from Bodie and a humorous laugh from Emilia.

"You willingly got engaged to someone you met, that night?" The brunette's laughter roared on.

"It's true love!" Anna snapped, didn't anyone believe in that?

Bodie waved off his overly amused friend. "Don't worry about her. She just uh…hasn't had a good laugh in a while."

It wasn't in Bodie to make insults, and it made Emilia feel like he was almost too nice. Honestly, she wouldn't have her partner any other way, she just didn't want people to take advantage of his kindness. Emilia saw Bodie as a lot of things, but mainly her best friend to little brother.

The blonde wanted to change the subject quick, maybe that'll keep Emilia from laughing. "So, you two plan on hittin' up the beach soon?"

Anna began twisting her finger around her the end of her braided hair. "Actually we were just talking about it! Is it always dusk here?"

Bodie nodded, "You'd think it'd change, huh."

"No, not at all, it's really beautiful!" the Princess admitted blissfully. "We don't have anything like this in Arendelle—my hometown."

"Just know that anytime, you're always welcomed to this beautiful sunset!"

Emilia had long since sobered up, but after Bodie's comment, she chortled and rolled her eyes. She'd have to give him another finger-jabbing lecture.

"By the way, don't you have a sister?" Emilia finally chipped in, "She's the Bad Guy of your game right?"

Anna hesitated, she was informed on what the term Bad Guy meant, but using it to describe her sister put a bad taste in her mouth. "She is, but that's just her role! My sister would never hurt anyone."

This was interesting to Emilia, Anna's sibling was a Bad Guy, yet Anna was still very protective of her. Although Bodie and Emilia weren't related, she'd probably defend him until the end, even if he were a Bad Guy.

"Alright Princess, if you say your sister is a good girl, then I believe it!" Bodie charmed once more in return, earning an illuminated expression from Anna. "Just make sure you bring her down to the beach too." His adorable smile was already inched across his face, Emilia now had to pinch the bridge of her nose.

"I'll try my best, getting her to go anywhere is like trying to move mountain. And being around me outside of our game is a big problem, since she doesn't want to hurt me, she tries to distance herself." The usually optimistic Princess tilted her head down in a disheartened state. "Sometimes I fear we can never have what we used to."

The blonde surfer hated to see anyone like this, but if anything, he believed everyone had untapped potential, and to him both Anna and Elsa had it. Even if Anna was just an ordinary girl. Bodie curved a finger under Anna's chin and gently lifted until they were eye level.

Bodie was very cute, even Anna had to admit that, this caused her cheeks to heat up quite a bit, but not enough for her to blush, thankfully.

"Tomorrow—you, your sister, and anyone else you want to invite—come here right after closing time."
