Chapter 14: Surprise
Anna's Prov
One day I was lying on my bed thinking of the week since Elsa and Amber's birthday. A lot had happened that week:
Elsa and Stain seem to be getting close again and most probably by the time of mine and Kristoff's wedding they will be dating. I've seen them around the castle joking and playing around, which is really nice to see but I'm worried, what if Stain hurts her and she loses control of her powers again? That can't happen! Not just for my sake but for Amber's! She can't lose another mother not again!
Olaf and Sven haven't changed one bit! And I defiantly wouldn't want them to!
Amber and Tristan have been spending so much time together! I think it's nice because now Elsa can go to meetings and get on with her paperwork without having to worry to much about Amber being alone. None of us have seen Amber use or lose control of her powers which could be a good thing, although me and Kristoff think it's a bad thing as we feel that she if fighting them just so Tristan wont find out she has them. Which is really silly as her powers are amazing and she has no reason to hide them! We are just worried that one day she may have been holding them back for to long and she will just lose it and end up hurting someone by accident.
Suddenly there was a light knock on my door, it made me jump but it took me away from my thoughts and worries. I made my way over to the dorr, as I opened it I saw that standing there was Olaf! He sounded out of breath as he was breathing really heavily. His arms had fallen off as well.
"Olaf are you ok?" I asked bending down to his height, picked up his arms and put them back on him. When I had put his arms back on my arm was all cold as the snowflakes from his flurry had fallen on it.
"Now I'm perfect!" He said throwing his arms up in the air (Not literally) "Yes I'm wonderful thank you! But I was told to keep you company!" He said chuckling and walking into my room.
"By who?" I asked feeling really confused.
"I'm not aloud to say!"
"Olaf?" I said raising one eyebrow. He just looked at the floor and giggled, he was never good at keeping secrets. He opened his mouth to say something when Amber walked into my room.
"Olaf what did I tell you! Uncle Kristoff needs you down at the stables to help him with Sven!" As she said this she giggled nervously, she grabbed his arm and took him to the door then whispered something to him.
Olaf just nodded and went running down the hall. Amber turned back around to face me and just smiled. Something is going on!
"Amber what's going on?" I was curious why everyone was acting strange all of a sudden like there was something to hide.
"What! Why would you ask that Aunt Anna? All I wanted to ask was could you take me into town? Mama is doing work, Uncle Kristoff is busy with Stain, Olaf and Sven and Tristan is getting ready to go home" I could see she was trying not to cry, I'm sure it was really hard for her as she finally made a friend and he was going home until next month. "and I know I'm not aloud to go into town on my own so I though you could come with me! I understand if you are busy though."
"Of course I will take you! But later when we get back I need to got to Iridessa and try on my wedding dress and I need you to try on your bridesmaids dress! Ok?" She nodded as I said this "And seeing as everyone is busy we can have a girly day just us!" I smiled at her, she seemed to have cheered up. So we went running out to the stables.
We got there I saw no sign of Kristoff, Stain or Olaf not even Sven his pen was empty so I have no idea where Kristoff had gone! Why didn't he tell me he was going out? "So would you like to take Chandler or Josie?" I asked Amber who had already run over to say hello to the horses in their pens "Hmmmmm I want to take..." She said with a thinking face on "Chandler! As I went out on Josie yesterday!" She said putting her hand over her mouth quickly.
"Wait what? When did you go out yesterday and with who?" I was so confused at this point. Has she snuck out? No she wouldn't have she's to young! I hope!
"I went out yesterday morning with... with.. Stain!" she said as if she wasn't sure herself. She's up to something! I know it! "Ok well let's get Chandler saddled up, then we can go!"
It took me about 10 minutes to saddle up chandler as her was my horse and stayed still for me. I helped Amber up first then I jumped on behind her holding onto the reins with my arms either side of her to make sure she didn't fall off.
Before we reached town we saw a fountain and Amber kept staring at it so I made Chandler get as close as he could to it and gave Amber a coin to throw in "Remember to make a wish first!" I reminded her.
I saw her thinking face again (which always made me laugh) then her face lit up and then she threw in the coin, it didn't go far as she was only little. "What did you wish for?" I asked curiously.
"That I can have my own horse soon!" She said grinning. She loved animals and everyone knew it so I'm surprised that for her birthday she didn't get an animal!
We carried on into town when we passed the bakery, the smell of freshly baked cupcakes was soo nice even Chandler stopped to smell them. "Aunt Anna! Can we get some cupcakes? Please?" She looked up at me and gave me puppy dog eyes! Oh how could I say no to her sweet, innocent face!
"Oh alright." I said smiling at her. We dismounted Chandler and I tied him up outside, and we walked into the warm bakery.
"Why hello Princess Anna and Princess Amber!" We looked over to see Gunter the baker standing over by the oven.
"Hi Gunter" Amber said getting excited.
"And how are the fine Princesses doing today?" He asked looking between both of us.
"We are fine thank you! We have just come in to get two cupcakes please!" I asked him politely.
"Why you are just on time I just made a fresh batch!" He said walking over to the cupcakes on the tray, picked two up and handed on to me and one to Amber. "On the house!" He said very kindly.
"Oh no no no! We couldn't do that it wouldn't be fair!" I said giving him the money before he could protest.
"Ok! But seeing as you are going into town then would you like to leave your horse in the pen out the back. Just so you know he will be safe!" I was about to refuse when he raised his hand to stop me "please Princess Anna it is the least I can do!"
"Oh ok don't worry we wont be to long."
"Take as long as you need!" He followed us out of the bakery and took Chandler around to the pen.
We had been in town for an hour now and we had been trying on lots of dresses and saying how nice they were but we didn't buy anything we was just looking and trying them on! We was having such a lovely day, but I kept seeing Kristoff I was positive I was just imagining him as I missed him, however I couldn't bring myself to believe that I was imagining him for some reason I wanted him to be real and for him to come join me and Amber.
We spent another half an hour in town when I realised that me and Amber still had to try on our dresses for my wedding! "Oh Amber I'm really sorry but we have to go home now as we still need to try on our dresses!" I thought she would be upset but she seemed to understand.
We walked back to the bakery "Go tell Gunter we will be going now please." So Amber went running in and soon back out again waving to him. Chandler made it easier getting Amber on this time, he ducked his head down to the ground so Amber could jump on by herself, then raised back up so I could get on him. He had started to understand that Amber was still little and needed help which was very generous of him to make it easier for her.
We rode up to the castle faster then going into town I feel like it had something to do with Chandler wanting dinner! I jumped off and then before I knew it Amber Had jumped off like I did without waiting for me to help.
"Amber you could have hurt yourself!" I told her.
"But I didn't!" She said smiling and laughing. That was something I said to Kristoff when I almost set him on fire. I just stood there and laughed at the memory.
"Ok! Well I will put Chandler in his pen you go up to Iridessa's room and wait for me there." With that Amber run as fast as her little legs would carry her up to the castle.
"Everyone one is acting strange Chandler! It's like they are doing something without me!" I said sadly all of a sudden I felt shut out again. But that didn't matter Amber clearly hadn't shut me out or she wouldn't have come into town with me!
I quickened my pace through the castle as I was late to see Iridessa, as I reached the big double doors I didn't see Amber so I stood there and waited for her.
Kristoff's Prov
Meanwhile...
"Is everything ready?" I asked as Amber walked in.
"I think so Uncle I think I can hold her off for 20 minutes at the most though." She said looking disappointed.
I walked over to her and bent down "Hey. You have done great today don't feel bad about it!" I saw her smile a little as I said this.
"Now go on before she wonders where you are!" Amber went running out the hall again "Elsa is everything else ready?"
"Yes they are at the docks, can you go get them? I need to try on my dress for the wedding too and I want to see Amber's bridesmaids dress and Anna's wedding dress?"
"Sure! Make sure you give me 20 minutes though so I can make sure everything is in order!" Elsa nodded and went running after Amber.
Anna's Prov
I was still waiting for Amber but I couldn't wait any longer so I turned to go into Iridessa's room when I heard footsteps running down the hallway. "Amber there you are!" I was so relieved.
"I had... to get ... Mama." She was taking deep breaths as she must have run so fast. Elsa turned up behind Amber also out of breath.
"Let's get this done!" Elsa said smiling.
We walked through the doors "Sorry Iridessa we had some problems." I said laughing nervously.
"Oh no matter you are all here now! Right Elsa go in the closet and try your dress on." Elsa was my maid of honour so she was going to wear a light purple, fitted dress that stopped just under her knees. I chose this dress as purple because I wanted the theme to be mostly white and purple with a little black (The suits) and I liked fitted dresses on her as she had the perfect figure.
"Amber sweetly you go over in that corner and get changed." Iridessa said pointing to a corner with a screen so Amber could get changed without us seeing! For all my bridesmaids dresses they where white, they had a white netted slightly puffed skirt (4 layers) and on the top right of the dress was a small purple butterfly! I though that it was a nice touch as they where all only 6 and liked butterflies! When Melody, Evangeline and Verity get here they would try on their dresses but just today it was Amber.
My page boys Raymond (Tiana's boy), Sebastian (Ariel's boy) and Flynn (Rapunzel's boy) would try on their suits when they got here I had chosen a traditional suit. The trousers are black, their shirts are white and their jacket's are black as well with a little purple rose (which I asked Amber to very kindly make). Olaf was also going to be one of my page boys but he was just going to wear a tie and he would escort Amber down the isle. Ray would escort Evangeline, Sebastian would escort Melody and Flynn would escort Verity.
"Anna dear you go into the dressing room over their." I did as I was told and with in about 10 minutes I was ready.
"Is everyone ready?" I called
"Yes!" They chanted.
I pulled back the curtain slowly, as I done this everyone's mouths dropped.
"What is something wrong?" I asked them laughing at their expressions.
"Yes! You look to stunning!" Elsa complimented me.
"But I have to look stunning! It is my wedding after all!" I said still laughing.
I had asked Iridessa to make my wedding dress white (of course), slightly puffy (6 layers) and a 5 foot trail behind it (I didn't want the trail to be too long as I knew I would probably trip on it), my vial was attached to a sliver tiara with a purple diamond in the middle and at the netting on the back of my vial had small diamonds scattered on it.
I saw myself in the mirror "Oh Iridessa thank you so much!" I said giving her a big hug.
"You done amazing on all the dresses!" I said gesturing to Elsa and Amber. "Kristoff will be up with the boys when they get here and when they are done I will bring the girls up here too." I haven't seen Kristoff's or the boys suits properly yet but I had no doubt that they looked great.
With that we got changed again and went out of Iridessa's room thanking her. "Shall we go find Kristoff, Stain and Olaf then?" I asked.
They smiled and looked at each other. "Yes lets do that!" Amber said smiling still.
We all slowly walked to the dining hall, when we reached the doors Amber went in first then Elsa and they made me go in last. They are still acting weird?
As walked in Kristoff, Stain and Olaf were already sitting at the table, Amber took her normal seat next to Olaf but Elsa instead of taking her usual seat she sat next to Stain?
"Elsa what are you doing?"
"Oh well I though you could sit there today." I was really confused but I didn't argue. Right I haven't seen everyone all day apart from Amber, Elsa is letting me sit in a seat at the end of the table and we was the other way around so the chair where I was going to sit was facing away from the door?
I took a seat Kristoff was to my right with Olaf and then Amber next to him. To my left Elsa sat with Stain next to her. "What's going on?" I asked.
"What do you mean love?" Kristoff asked as if he had no idea what I was on about.
"Kristoff don't try it! I have hardly seen you all day when me and Amber went to the stables and Sven was gone! You never told me you was going out! And we have swapped ends and I'm sitting at the head!" As I was having my little rant I heard the doors open behind me I just assumed it was the servants with dinner. "And yet you still haven't told me what you have all been doing today!"
With that I heard lots of footsteps approach me "SURPRISE!" I jumped up and turned around to see Rapunzel, Eugene, Flynn, Verity, Tiana, Naveen, Ray, Evangeline, Ariel, Eric, Sebastian and Melody.
"Oh. My. GOD!" I said jumping up and down "What are you all doing here you aren't suppose to be here until 3 weeks! Not that I'm not glad to see you all!"
"We all planned it!" Kristoff said taking my hand. "That's why I took you out to town Aunt Anna!" Amber said smiling . "And that's why you haven't seen us all day." Stain said walking over to Elsa.
Amber had run over to Melody, Evangeline and Verity to introduce herself the seemed to be getting on already! "You guys are the best!" I said giving making my away around giving hugs staring with Kristoff of course.
"There is one more surprise!" Elsa said smiling. "Wait what? No this is enough I have everyone I care about here I don't need anymore!"
"Well seeing as everything is in order and we know how much you are looking forward to our wedding! Well we have moved our wedding to two days away! Everyone already knew but you please don't be mad." Kristoff said flinching.
"Why on earth would I be mad!" I said hugging him.
"Right should we show you all to your rooms?" Elsa suggested.
"Come on Melody, Evangeline and Verity! You are all staying in my room." Amber said excitedly.
The girls went running up to Ambers room giggling.
"Olaf the boys are sharing a room can you please show them to it?" Elsa asked as Olaf jumped down from the table.
"Hi I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs!" He said jumping over to them.
"Is ... is ... that snowman talking!?" Eugene, Eric and Naveen asked at the same time.
"Eugene please don't freak out!" Rapunzel said putting her hand over his mouth before he could scream.
"Naveen be nice! Elsa did say about Olaf!" Tiana said raising her eyebrow at her husband.
"Yes well I though she was joking!" Naveen said putting his hand on his forehead.
"Really Eric my family are mermaids and that's what freaks you out!" Ariel said laughing.
"COOL!" Flynn, Sebastian and Ray said at the same time.
"Lets go to your room." Olaf said running out the room followed by the boys.
"What have I got myself into I married the lost princess who use to have magic hair, who is cousins with a queen with ice powers and has a talking snowman!" Eugene laughed.
"Some people never change! Huh Eugene?" Kristoff laughed.
"Elsa who's this?" Ariel asked gesturing to Stain.
"Oh this is Stain he a friend." She said going red.
"Yea. Friend" Tiana said doing quote marks with her fingers making everyone laugh but Stain and Elsa as they just went red.
"Come on lets show you all to your rooms!" I said.
As we walked up the stair we heard laughing from Amber's room. We walked over to her door and we all took a peek in. All the boys and girls where playing and Amber was using her powers. "Wow Amber they are amazing!" They all seemed to say.
They seemed to be getting on well so we closed the door and carried on walking "So there is another one with powers!" Eric said sounding shocked.
"Yeah I adopted Amber as well! I help her control her powers." Elsa said smiling when we came to the first door "Ariel, Eric this is your room." Elsa said opening the door "Thank you. We will just unpack." Ariel said smiling. "Oh do you need help?" Elsa asked nicely. "Oh yes please. Ariel pack way to much!" Eric said laughing as Ariel hit his shoulder smirking.
We carried on walking down the hallway "Tiana and Naveen this is your room." Kristoff said opening the door. "Thank you!" Tiana said smiling. "Do you need any help with anything?" Tiana shook her head but Naveen was nodded "Yes please Kristoff." Tiana shot him a look. "What we don't know the castle!" Tiana just nodded.
Me, Rapunzel, Eugene and Stain carried on down the hall when we came to the last door "Oh Stain can you go check on the kids please?" I asked smiling he nodded and walked off down the hall "Oh and this is your room." I said opening the door for them they walked in with there's, Flynn's and Verity's stuff placed on the bed. "Do you need any help?" I asked felling useless.
"No but could you stay please? As we don't know our way around the castle." Rapunzel said grabbing my hand. I looked at her and smiled then hugged her. "I'm so glad you are here."
"Me too." She said smiling. Eugene just stood by the bed as we talked.
"So Eugene are my Aunt and Uncle keeping you in line?" I joked.
"What are you trying to say? I'm always good!" Rapunzel raised her eyebrow "Eugene!" "Alright well maybe not always!" He said laughing and giving her a kiss "But I'm good to you aren't I?" she just laughed and pushed him away laughing.
"Well its nice to see you are treating my cousin right! Because get this if you hurt her I will get Elsa to freeze you!" I said keeping a straight face. He began to laugh then stopped "Oh you wasn't joking." His face dropped when Rapunzel shook her head.
I just laughed and hugged them both. It was nice to have them all here and I was getting married in two days! I was so happy at this point nothing could ruin it!
