Chapter 2: A Trip To Organise

One Week Later

One particular fine morning, Elsa was called to her advisors room by Erik. She was excited. By his tone, he sounded happy which made Elsa think that he had good news. She sat down in her usual seat and looked at them expectantly.

"Your trip has been booked your majesty," Anton said.

"Excellent," Elsa said.

"It will occur next Thursday so I suggest you start packing as you only have six days before then," Anton continued with a smile.

"Of course, I best be doing that now. Thank you. I trust that you will pick up the reins when both Anna and I are both gone?"

"Certainty your majesty," Anton said.

After Erik, Anton was the most trustable advisor in the room. Elsa knew that whenever she wasn't in the country, Arendelle was in very safe hands with Anton. Elsa dismissed her council and headed into her room. She wasn't alone in there for very long. Anna soon came in and collapsed on Elsa's bed.

"Gah, only a week left of my break and then it's back to studying and assignments and all that," she groaned.

"Cheer up," Elsa said. "Look at it this way, after this semester is over you are free….forever."

Anna sat up straight. "That is true. Thanks sis."

"No problem."

Elsa crossed to her desk and turned on her laptop.

"Skyping Jack?" Anna asked.

"Yep, got to tell him that I'm seeing him next week."

"Bet you're both thrilled."

"More like over the moon."

Anna laughed before she left the room. Elsa called Jack on Skype. She had to wait a while before Jack answered it.

"Hey Elsa," he said smiling. "Sorry I was at the other end of the house and didn't hear the laptop."

"That's okay," Elsa said. "I got good news though."

"What?" Jack looked quite eager.

"Trip is all books. It's official. I'm coming to see you."

"Oh that's fantastic," Jack's grin covered his entire face.

"Yeah it is. So free up next week from Thursday onwards because your girlfriend is in town."

"You got it," Jack said still grinning broadly.

In the background Elsa could hear Jack's Mum calling.

"Oh sorry, I got to go," Jack said. "Work."

"That's okay," Elsa said. "I guess we'll talk next week."

"Yes we will."

Jack shut the lid of his laptop and ended the call. Elsa just grinned as she sat in her seat. She was so happy. Soon she will be seeing Jack again and get to spend some quality time with him at last. She needed this so bad. Elsa got up and stretched. She was feeling peckish so a quick trip down to the kitchens would do her nicely and if she wasn't wrong, she would find her sister scoffing down as much chocolate as she could.

Jack was sitting at his dinner table that night. He was nervous. He didn't know how to breach the subject that his girlfriend who just happened to rule a country was coming over for a visit. His mother had freaked out that Jack was dating a Queen and that hadn't stop. Jack stared at the pasta dish in front of him, willing it to give him answers.

"So you're awfully quiet," Pippa said to him. "Bad day at work?"

"No not that," Jack cleared his throat. "I have something I need to tell you both."

His mother and sister both looked up at him. Jack breathed in deeply before gaining some confidence.

"Elsa is coming over for a visit next week," he continued.

His mother dropped the fork that she was holding. It clanged loudly when it collided with the plate in front of her.

"Here?" she said in a weak voice. "The Queen of Arendelle is coming here?"

"She's just like anyone else Mum so cool it," Pippa said.

Pippa had done all her freaking over Jack dating a ruler of a country. She and Elsa got on pretty well and Pippa saw her like anyone else.

"But she's a Queen," their Mum said, "of her own country."

"And she wants a break away from all that," Jack said. "So that's why she's coming."

"I highly doubt that's the only reason," Pippa said with a smirk.

"What do you mean?"

"She's coming to see you, you idiot!"

"Oh I know that," Jack snapped back.

"Children," their mother said interrupting their fight. "A Queen is coming here in a week so its battle stations. We have to make this house presentable."

"Mum, Elsa doesn't really care about that kind of stuff," Jack said.

"But I do! So we are going to have a massive clear out. I want everything to be spotless by the time she comes here next week. Are we clear?"

"Crystal," Pippa and Jack said.

"Good," their mother said getting back to her dinner.

Kristoff was nervous. He was rocking back and forward on his feet outside Elsa's study. He had something he wanted to ask her before she went away to visit Jack at Burgess. He didn't know how long she would be and he may end up losing his nerve if he waited too long. He desperately hoped that Elsa would say yes to what he wanted. He had been wanting this for a long time now and only now he had the guts to ask Elsa. Kristoff took a deep breath. He needed to find his confidence fast and now if he was going to do this.

Kristoff took a long and deep breath in before he knocked on Elsa's study's door.

Elsa heard a knock on her door. She told whoever it was to come in. She got a pleasant surprise when Kristoff came in.

"Kristoff, hello," she said. "What can I do for you?"

Kristoff looked like he was unable to speak. Elsa could tell he was extremely nervous about something. Elsa pushed herself away from her desk and stared up at Kristoff. She didn't say anything but instead continued to smile up at Kristoff. He would speak when he found his voice. Elsa wasn't going to press him or hurry him along. Clearly he had something on his mind that was very important.

"I need to ask you something," Kristoff said speaking quite fast and very frightfully.

"Okay then," Elsa still smiling.

She wondered what Kristoff wanted to ask her. If he was this nervous it must be something frightfully important. Maybe he wanted to come with her to Burgess or something like that. But Elsa couldn't see that making Kristoff very nervous.

"I…would…like…your permission," Kristoff stammered. It seemed as if he was having a lot of trouble getting his words out. "To ask Anna to marry me."

Elsa was quite taken aback. She hadn't expected that.

"You want to ask Anna to marry you?" she asked.

"Y-yes," Kristoff said still stammering.

"Hmm," Elsa paused to think.

She knew that Anna would say yes in a heartbeat but Anna was still young and at University. Elsa didn't know if it was time for Anna to get married. Then again, she and Kristoff had been together three years and were going very strong. She continued to stare at Kristoff who looked quite scared standing there in front of Elsa. Elsa had to give him props though. He was doing a very traditional thing by asking Elsa's permission, as she was the Queen, before officially asking Anna. Although Elsa wouldn't have minded if he didn't. She really only cared that Kristoff made Anna happy and was a good man for Anna to be with. Elsa wasn't even sure if Anna could do better.

"Alright then," Elsa said smiling.

"R-really?" Kristoff said as if he couldn't believe it.

"Yeah," Elsa said leaning back in her chair. "You're good for her and she's good for you. You guys make a good team."

"Oh thank you, thank you, thank you," Kristoff said looking extremely happy.

"When do you plan on asking her?" Elsa asked.

"After graduation I think," he said. "I haven't worked out all the details yet as I want this to be perfect."

"Well that's good," Elsa said. "Plan it out carefully and if you require any help feel free to come and ask me."

"Oh Elsa you are amazing."

"I've been told that on more than one occasion," Elsa said with a smirk.

Kristoff looked as if he could have jumped with joy, literally. But he straightened up and thanked Elsa one last time before he moved swiftly from the room. Elsa could hear Kristoff let out a cheer as soon as the door closed behind him. Elsa let out a laugh and she continued doing her work with a smile on her face.

She couldn't believe that Kristoff was ready to ask Anna to marry him. She was glad that they were taking a step in their relationship. She wondered about the same thing with her and Jack. Maybe at some point in the future they would head down the same road. Elsa wasn't sure if she or even Jack was ready to get marry. Besides she would hope that their relationship would get a bit stronger before she considered getting married at any time in the near future.

Jack was busy tidying his room on his mother's orders. She hadn't stopped freaking out over the fact that Elsa, Queen of Arendelle, was coming for a visit for the last few days. All three Frosts had been busy making sure that everything looked at its finest. Jack had never seen his house in a better state than what it was in now but his mother still wasn't satisfied. Jack wondered if she would ever be satisfied with the way everything looked.

Jamie was in Jack's room helping him out. Jamie was tidying Jack's closet while Jack was busy sorting out things that he wanted to keep or throw out. Jamie was chucking out things from Jack's wardrobe which landed in a large rubbish bag that was open in Jack's room.

"I can't believe your Mum is making you do this," Jamie said. "Like Elsa cares what state your room is in."

"Mum is in panic mode," Jack said.

"Well Elsa is a monarch so I don't blame her."

"Neither do I," Jack said. "I practically nearly fainted when she first told me. I sometimes am I like, wow my girlfriend is a Queen."

"Yeah I'm the same. Sometimes I go wow I am friends with a monarch and a Princess."

"It's crazy isn't it?"

"Very," Jamie agreed.

Elsa was busy going through her wardrobe. She was busy deciding on what she should take to Burgess. She figured some nice causal clothes alongside some nice outfits would do. She wanted to take Jack out for some nice dinners while she was over there. She pulled out her bathing suit. She wasn't sure if they would be swimming or not but decided to pack it anyway. Anna soon came in and looked at the mess of clothes on Elsa's bed.

"I see we are packing," she said.

"Yes we are," Elsa said.

Anna looked through the clothes that Elsa had packed. She grinned at what Elsa had packed. She looked through the pile on Elsa's bed and put some extra nice clothes that were more appropriate for a night in on a date than going out to town.

"Anna what are you doing?" Elsa asked her.

"Just helping you out," Anna grinned.

Elsa grinned back. She finished packing a lot quicker than she would have if Anna had not helped out. Soon Elsa was zipping up her suitcase and tidying away her clothes that she was not packing. Elsa then put other things in a different bag such as books and her laptop plus its charger.

"This trip is exactly what I needed," Elsa said.

"Tell me about it," Anna said. "If you hadn't suggested it yourself, Kristoff and I were going to stage an intervention of some kind."

Elsa grinned at Anna's words.

"You're right," Elsa said. "It's just been a hectic lately with the new trade agreements and the whole business with the Southern Isles."

"Oh don't worry about them. They're not worth our time."

"Oh I know that but some advisors don't think so."

"Well I'm just glad you're making time now."

"I am too. I really should make more time in the future."

"I agree with you one hundred percent."

Elsa grinned and Anna matched her grin. Anna was right. Elsa needed to make time for these kinds of trips and she was finally doing it. She couldn't be more excited.
