Chapter 3- Arendelle

Elsa walked through the halls with her sister by her side. While she was calm and reserved her sister was anything but.
"I'm so excited! There'll be so many important people here Saturday... Oh I don't even know what I'm going to wear yet!"
Elsa smiled. "It's no big deal, Anna. Saturday's dinner will just be like those that mamma and papa used to host. It's purely for political reasons anyway..."
Anna could sense Elsa's unhappiness. Despite everyone starting to accept Elsa's powers, the queen was still unsure of herself, both as a ruler and as someone who could control the ice and snow.
Anna put her arm around Elsa's. "Elsa", she said softly. "You know you don't have to throw this dinner if you don't want to-"
"I have to. Mamma and papa would have wanted it. Arendelle hasn't hosted the dinner in some time now."
"Mamma and papa would want you to be happy, not try to hold a tradition."
Elsa stopped and turned to her sister. "Anna, I'll be fine. Okay?" She did her best to smile but Anna wasn't buying it. Anna opened her mouth to protest when a maid came up to them.
"Your Highness, Princess Anna." She bowed. "Mr. Kristoff says he's waiting for you in the garden."
"Oh thank you!" Anna said before the maid bowed again and left.
"So you and Kristoff are meeting in the garden now?" Elsa said with a smile and a raised eyebrow.
Anna blushed. "Well he asked me to meet him under the gazebo earlier for lunch. Time just flies so quickly now that you're here. I gotta dash." She gave Elsa a hug before running off to join Kristoff in the garden.

Elsa was in her study going over everything for Saturday's dinner. So far everything was going as planned except for General Ottosen's RSVP hadn't arrived yet. Elsa frowned. She remembered the respected old general always showing up for all of Arendelle's events. She hoped his reply didn't get lost in the mail.
Elsa was about to start checking off some things for the dinner when she heard Kristoff and Anna giggling and laughing as they came down the hall.
Their merriment grew louder as they came closer to the door of the study and in a matter of moments they both burst in hand in hand.
"Elsa, oh Elsa!" Anna said a little out of breath.
"I take it lunch went well." Elsa smiled.
"Yes! Because, well..." Anna said as she wrapped her arm around Kristoff's.
"Well..." Kristoff repeated as he tried to catch his breath too.
"We're getting married!" They both finally said.
Elsa stood up and rushed over to them. She embraced the couple and kissed them on the cheek. "Now this is a marriage I can approve of! I'm so happy for you!"
Anna beamed. "Isn't it perfect?"
"We were thinking about living for a bit in Finland." Kristoff said.
"But I thought you loved it here." Elsa said to Anna. "Finland is no place for a future queen of Arendelle."
"I know." Anna looked down. "But we were kinda thinking about getting our own place. Maybe travel for a little bit..."
Elsa and Kristoff could see Anna's uneasiness about leaving. "You know I wasn't serious about leaving, I love Arendelle too. It was just a suggestion." Kristoff said. "I just thought-"
Anna shook her head. "No, I don't mind living somewhere else for a little bit. Besides, it would be good to get away from Arendelle for some time. Is everything ready for Saturday?" Anna quickly tried to change the subject.
Elsa shared a quick worried glance with Kristoff before clearing her throat. "Um yes. Well almost. General Ottosen's RSVP hasn't arrived yet. I'm getting worried that he might have lost his invitation."
"I'm sure he'll come. He always does. He's probably just been busy." Anna said but she was worried now too. The general was a close family friend and it was unlike him to not show up.
"I hope you're right." Elsa sighed. "Now come, I want to hear all about how lunch went."
