Chapter 15: The Night Before
Third Person
The castle was peaceful the adults were all up and in the dining room catching up the most they could before the children came in all hyper for the day.
"Did you hear them last night? I walked past before I went to bed and still heard them laughing!" Tiana said sounding surprised.
"Yeah no wonder they are still asleep! But then again it is nice to see them all getting along!" Rapunzel said smiling.
"Well they have a long day I'm nicking the boys for about 20 minutes for them to try on their suits! Oh and I need to try on mine" Kristoff added.
"And after I need the girls to try on their dresses! Amber has already tried on hers! Oh they are beautiful, aren't they Elsa?" Anna said turning to her sister.
"Oh yes they really are! I'm sure the girls will love them!" They all sat there talking about the next day.
"Oh and you boys aren't aloud out the north wing tonight as Anna and Kristoff aren't aloud to see each other!" Ariel said looking over at her husband who was rubbing the back of his neck.
"I really don't see the point in that when me and Blondie had our wedding night she missed me so much!" Rapunzel sighed "Eugene!" She raised her eyebrow "Ok I missed her! So I snuck into her room whilst she was asleep." he said laughing at the memory.
"You did what!" Rapunzel said nearly spitting her drink out. "Never mind!" He replied laughing nervously.
"Well I don't care you aren't aloud to see each other end of!" Elsa decided. "We are having a girly night! That means no husbands or kids!" Elsa stated.
"But who will watch over the kids as I know these clowns wont!" Tiana asked "Hurtful!" Naveen, Stain, Eric, Eugene and Kristoff said at once.
"You know what I mean!" Tiana said sticking her tongue out at them. "Oh Gerda and Kai will keep and eye on them" Anna said smiling.
They carried on talking for half an hour when they heard little voices. About 2 minutes later Evangeline, Ray, Flynn, Verity, Melody, Sebastian, Olaf and Amber burst through the doors.
"Nice of you to join us!" Eric said making everyone laugh.
"Well daddy we had such a fun night last night! Thanks to Amber and her powers!" Melody said.
"They are so cool!" Ray added.
"Have you seen them?" Verity asked getting excited.
"Why no not properly!" Eugene answered his daughter.
"Look she will show you!" Evangeline said.
"Please Amber!" Sebastian begged.
"Sebastian if Amber doesn't want to then don't make her!" Ariel said glaring at her son.
"No its fine but I'm only going to do something small." Amber said as she stood up and looked at the empty vases around the room, she had her arms down either side of her and started to spin whilst raising her arms so the flowers appeared above her. She jumped sending a bunch over to each vase, when everyone saw Amber was done everyone started to clap.
"Ashidanza!" Naveen let out. "That was simple!?" Stain asked still in shock. Amber just nodded at him.
"I'm glad you adopted Amber, Elsa!" Flynn said smiling "So am I Flynn! So am I." She said smiling back.
though out the rest of breakfast the children explained what they did the night before and how fun it was.
"Right boys we are going to get you to try on our suits." Kristoff said and in a matter of minutes Kristoff, Flynn, Ray and Sebastian had all walked out the hall.
"While we are waiting for the boys we should go out in the place gardens!" Amber suggested.
"I would love to but I have to sort out one last thing before the wedding." Anna said walking out the hall humming.
The rest of them headed out to the gardens. It was a lovely summers day and the garden had just been cut.
"Right what should we do?" Naveen said clapping his hands together.
"Well me, Ariel, Rapunzel and Tiana are going to relax and catch up! So you guys have fun!" Elsa said as the mums walked over to a big tree and sat in the shade under it.
"How about a game of... FOOTBALL!" Evangeline suggested.
"Yeah! Amber and Eric can be captains!" Verity added.
"Ok then Amber you pick first." Eric said kindly.
"Verity!" Amber said as Verity run to her side.
"Melody." Eric said grabbing his daughters hand.
"Eugene!"
"Evangeline" Just as Eric said this Amber groaned.
"I wanted Evangeline! Oh never mind! Hmmmm Stain." Then she saw Naveen's face "Sorry Naveen!" She called.
"Looks like your stuck with us Naveen but don't worry we will beat them!" Eric smiled. Naveen suddenly had his game face on.
Amber, Verity, Eugene and Stain huddled up and so did Eric, Melody, Lina (Evangeline) and Naveen. When they where done Eugene and Eric stepped up to the ball for kick off whilst Naveen and Stain run to the goals.
About 15 minutes after kick off Amber's team were winning 3-0 and the girls was tired when they had the best idea in dragging the mums into it. Amber and Verity ran over and dragged Elsa and Rapunzel to join in while Melody and Lina dragged Ariel and Tiana in.
"I'm terrible at sports please don't make me do it!" Elsa begged Amber.
"Too late Mama!" She giggled.
Sooner then they knew it they were drawing 7-7. Verity was about to score another goal when Anna came running out calling the girls in (apart from Amber) to try on their dresses, when they run in the boys run out followed by Kristoff.
"Ew why are you all sweaty?" Kristoff asked.
"We was playing football Uncle!" Amber said still full of energy.
"I... need... to sit!" Eric said stumbling over to the tree where the mums had been sitting before and clasped under it.
"Why don't you kids play we need a rest!" Elsa said painting.
So Amber, Flynn, Ray and Sebastian run off to play hide and seek. It was Ray's turn to count and Amber had found the best hiding spot. She heard the others talking. They must have been found! She though grinning Then she got the best idea! When they come around the corner I will hit them all with flowers!
She quickly magiced some up in her hand as she heard the footsteps get closer she made the flowers into a ball.
"Amber?" She jumped as her name had been called in the other direction.
Amber's Prov
"Amber?" I nearly jumped out of my skin. I turned thinking it would be Flynn, Ray or Sebastian but as I turned I saw Tristan.
"Oh hey Tristan!" I said smiling I hadn't seen him all of yesterday so it was nice to see him today although it was only probably to say goodbye.
"You have powers?" He was in shock. I looked down at my hand with the ball of flowers in it! Oh no he knows! Oh no! Oh no!
"Umm no... I mean sort of" I made the ball disappear and hung my head no way of denying it now! "yes."
Just then Ray, Sebastian and Flynn came around the corner.
"Found you!" Sebastian said.
"Who's this?!" Ray said pointing to Tristan.
"Oh this is Tristan! Tristan this is Ray, Sebastian and my cousin Flynn" They said hello to each other and I felt like I was going to cry.
I tried to fight back the tears but I wasn't strong enough for that! A tear fell off my cheek and onto the floor Flynn was the only one who saw. He walked over to me and placed his arm around me "Amber are you ok?"
I couldn't take it anymore Tristan was looking at me like I was a freak, Ray and Sebastian didn't know what to do and Flynn was trying to comfort me but it wasn't working! I pushed Flynn off me and went running past Tristan tears falling from my eyes and ran up to the one place I could be alone.
I sat on the roof sobbing. I had lost another person close to me and all because of these STUPID powers!
I sat there on my own for about 30 minutes. "I'm such an idiot! Why did I do that not thinking anyone would see!? I've lost Tristan now he is going for a month but when he gets back he wont talk to me or look at me! I mean I'm a monster!" I said to myself making my sob even more as I realised that was what I was! A monster!
"Your not an idiot, you defiantly haven't lost Tristan and don't let me EVER hear you call yourself a monster because your not!" A reassuring voice told me. I looked up and whipped my eyes to see Tristan standing there!
"How did you know I would be up here?" I asked sniffing.
"I remember you saying that when you need to think or your upset you would come up here!" He said sitting next to me.
It was silent for a while I was still crying as I knew it was awkward.
"How come you never told me you had powers?" He asked reluctantly. I knew this was coming!
"Well.. I guess I was scared. I still am actually!" I said looking down at my hands then clenching them. Counsel don't feel! "You are the first person I met who didn't know I had powers and well I though that I wouldn't use them around you so you wouldn't get scared off! I know it's stupid but... for once I found someone who actually liked me!" After I was done I just sat there staring down at the ground below.
"I'm not scared of you Amber. I could never be scared of you!" He moved closer to me when I realised I shot up and tried to get off the roof.
"What are you doing?" He said grabbing my hand in confusion.
I shook it off and started to walk to the stairs "I'm just trying to protect you!" I said.
"What by trying to get away from me!" He was angry by this point. He's cute when he is angry! Stop it Amber you are mad at him to!
"Well I'm sorry that I want you safe!" I was getting angry now.
"But maybe I need someone who I can actually talk to!"
"I have enough on my plate at the moment I really don't need me hurting you on top of it!" I shouted.
"What you don't think I have my own problems! My problems are probably MUCH bigger then yours! Just because your a stupid princess doesn't mean your any different from me!" He shouted then put his hand to his mouth. "Amber.. I.. I .. didn't"
That was it tears where flowing down my cheeks "No your right." I turned running down the stairs and to my room. When I got inside my room I just run in and went into my closet to the back where I fell to the floor and started crying.
I heard my door open and people walk into my room. I didn't know who it was but I made sure I stayed quiet as I just wanted to be alone. As I heard the footsteps go out my door I let out a little sigh and started to cry again. Then suddenly my doors to my closet swung open I had blurred vision and all I could make out was a figure of a boy. "Go away Tristan!" I said looking away.
"Oh thanks! In my opinion I think I look much better then Tristan!" Well this was obviously Flynn. No one else was this self-centred! Well apart from his dad!
"What did Tristan do? I swear I will kill him for upsetting my cousin!"
"No Flynn, Tristan didn't do anything! I'm just trying to protect him from the monster I am." I said sobbing.
Flynn was younger then me all the boys where 11 whilst the girls where 12 nearly 13 so I was like in the middle out of all of them. But Flynn still acted like he was older then me, being the good cousin he is he just walked over to me, bent down beside me and hugged me.
"You are NOT a monster Amber!" As he said this I didn't look up but I could feel him scowling at me.
"But I am when ever I get close to someone, something always goes wrong! I'm scared Flynn what if one day I hurt someone I care dearly about like you, Verity, Olaf or even Mama! Then what do I do?" I held onto his top tighter and buried my face into his chest.
"I promise you that will never happen! You know how to control it, anyway should we wipe those tears?" As I pulled away from him I saw that I had made his top all wet.
"Ops sorry" I said giggling a little.
"Oh well if it was anyone else I would have screamed but seeing as its you!" He said winking at me.
"Come on let's go back outside." He held out his hand to me, then as I stood up I hugged him. "Thank you!" I whispered in his ear. We then walked out of my room and I remembered I had left Tristan on the roof alone! "I will be down in a minute there is something I need to do!" I said running off to the stairs that lead to the roof.
As I reached the top I started to walk slower when I heard a voice "You had to go see her when you did! Not that I don't think her powers are amazing but if it meant she wouldn't be angry with me then I would happily not know about them! I just wish she knew what happened, I didn't mean what I said I didn't mean to upset her either! I don't ever want to upset her! I wish she knew why I came to find her but she probably wont want to talk to me again!" He had his head in his hands now.
I walked slowly up to him "Yes I will" I made him jump I saw that but he also looked relieved.
"I came to say sorry I shouldn't have had a go at you. I didn't mean it and I want to know what is wrong." I said sitting next to him.
"No I'm sorry I shouldn't have shouted and I didn't mean it when I said you was a stupid princess because your not! Your a smart, beautiful princess who has been kind enough to accepted me as a friend!" He said with a faint smile.
"What's wrong? And don't say nothing because I'm not stupid and I know how to read facial expressions!" I said crossing my arms.
"Fine. Well that's what I wanted to talk to you about earlier! There is some news do you want the good news or bad news?" He asked me with a worried look.
"Good news." I said reluctantly as I really didn't want to hear the bad news.
"Here it goes! I'm not going to be leaving the castle!" He said trying to force a smile.
I stood up and hugged him "Oh that's great news then we wont have to say goodbye!" I said then I looked at his face "Aren't you happy?"
"Yes obviously but it's just the other news." I pulled away nervously "Go on" I said moving closer towards him.
"Well my mother... well she" He's holding back tears! What on earth has happened? "she has become ill and well they" that was enough to make him cry I had never seen him cry before but I though it was sweet. "You don't have to go on I understand." I placed my hand on his shoulder. He just looked at me and smiled, I looked at him then realised how hard it must be for him and all I have done is complain!
"I'm sorry Tristan I shouldn't have made a big deal out of my powers when you have much bigger problems." I had a tear rolling down my cheek.
He put his hand under my chin and moved my head up so I was looking at him. "Cheer up princess, your tiara is slipping." He said pushing it back on.
We sat there for a while taking in the landscape when finally I stood up "Come on" I said extending my hand "let's go play!"
Third Person
Later that night...
Girls..
"Hey Anna I still don't understand what you like about Kristoff so much that you want to spend the rest of your life with him?" Ariel asked looking confused they where all sitting on Anna's bed asking questions to each other and giggling like little girls at a sleepover.
"Well what's not to like I mean he's kind, funny, sweet, cute, generous, he has really nice brown eyes, he would never hurt anyone and he cares a lot about me!" Anna answered. "Ok Elsa my turn to ask you something!" Tiana said clapping her hands together.
"Do you like Stain not as a friend I mean like more then that?" They all turned their heads to see Elsa's reaction she started to play with her necklace which is what she started to do when she was nervous. "I don't know I haven't though of it!" She said with a dumb smile on her face. "Oh please Elsa! I've seen the way you look at him and he looks at you so don't give us all that I don't kno0w rubbish!" Rapunzel said laughing at her cousin. "Yeah, it's a bit obvious that you both really like each other!" Ariel added "Elsa I think you and Stain are really good together! Even when we where kids you both got on really well!" Anna told her sister.
"Ok maybe I do like Stain but that doesn't mean he likes me! I swear if I find out one of you tell him what I just said I will not be happy at all!" She said scowling "We will just wait and see." Anna said grinning at Tiana, Ariel and Rapunzel. Elsa had a puzzled look on her face but decided to ignore the grins.
"How about we play a different game!" Elsa said trying to change the subject.
"Oh no we are just getting started!" Rapunzel said with an evil grin.
Meanwhile...
Boys..
"So Stain when you gonna ask her?" Kristoff asked smiling.
"I don't know if I am going to ask her I mean what if she says no!" Stain said trying not to sound like a wimp.
"Did I just hear that right? You think she will say no!" Eric said shocked.
"Are you stupida? Have you seen the way she looks at you!" Naveen exclaimed, Stain just shook his head.
"Oh my!" Eugene said hitting his hand on his forehead. "What is wrong with you! She blushes when she is around you! For god sake she is an ice queen! She shouldn't be blushing at all!" Eugene explained.
"Look Stain she obviously likes you and I'm sure that you haven't had a girlfriend before so we will help you!" Kristoff said placing a reassuring hand on Stain's shoulder.
"I really don't know how to ask her and when to do it! I need serious help!" Stain said feeling embarrassed.
"Hey what are best friends for!" Eric said walking over.
They all started to explain how and when Stain should ask out Elsa.
In Amber's room
Kids...
"Are you all staying in here tonight then?" Amber asked them all.
"If that's ok! It was fun last night so please." Verity answered.
"Great!" Amber smiled. They started to play a game they made up the night before called liar. So someone would have to say something about themselves and the others would have to guess if they where lying or not and if they got it right the person who said something would have to do a dare!
"I seek out my room when I can't sleep and go exploring." Verity said.
They all exchanged looks "Lie." They all said after exchanging looks.
"It's true!" Verity turned to her brother. "Say anything and I will tell mama and papa about you!" No one knew what she was on about but Flynn seemed to know what she was on about so agreed not to tell them.
"Your go Sebastian" Lina said Sebastian was about to say something when there was a knock at Amber's door. "One minute!" Amber called as she walked to her door.
When she opened it there was no one there! "That's odd?!" She mumbled to herself. She walked out the door and looked down the corridors to see if she could see anyone. Nothing? She turned to walk back in when her foot hit something she looked down to see a small box with a flower on it. She was confused she bent down, picked it up and when she opened the box there was a bracelet in there and it had a flower charm on it to match her necklace. There was a note under it she picked it up and began to read.
It's a late birthday present and also something to say thank you! x
She instantly knew it was from Tristan. when she walked back into her bedroom Melody was staring at her. "What's got you so happy?" She smiled.
"Oh it's nothing." Amber grinned.
"Oh shut up your a terrible liar!" Flynn said laughing.
"Hey who gave you that bracelet?" Lina asked walking over to look at it.
"Let me guess... Tristan!" Ray said smirking.
"Who's Tristan? And why have they met him before we did!" Verity joked.
"First of all they was with me when Tristan found out I had powers!" Amber pointed to the boys "Secondly before you ask he is my friend and just my friend!" She said laughing.
"You want him to be more though don't you!" Sebastian said making kissy faces.
Amber pushed him playfully "Shut up div!" She laughed.
"Try and deny it Amber but we see it in you eyes!" Verity said pointing to her own eyes.
"Lets just get back to the game! Please" Amber pleaded try to get off the subject of Tristan.
Maybe she did like him just a little though not a lot she started to smile to herself.
Anna's Prov
Midnight
The clock struck twelve and I still wasn't asleep so I done what I normally do if I cant sleep, I would go for a walk around the castle, I got out of my bed slowly trying not to wake anyone and I quietly slipped out my room. I walked past Amber's room to check on them.
I opened the door slowly to see pillows scattered all over the floor and them sleeping on them. It was nice to see them becoming such good friends.
I carried on walking to the balcony and opened the doors. I wanted to go see Kristoff but I had orders from Elsa not to! Which was stupid! I just stood on the balcony and looked out into the darkness. I stood there thinking of what my wedding day will hold. It will be magical, beautiful and great as I'm marrying the man I love the most! I suddenly felt two arms rap around my waist, I let out a little scream, one of the hands covered my mouth whilst the other spun me around. "Hey it's just me!" I opened my eyes to see Kristoff standing in front of me.
"What are you doing!? You scared me to death!" I said hitting his shoulder "I though I was the only one up!" I explained.
"So did I!" he said his eyes seemed to be melting.
"Wait what are you doing out of the north wing! If Elsa finds you she will freeze us both!" I said with a panic.
"Well if you keep your voice down she wont hear you!" He chucked "and I couldn't sleep so I came for a walk."
"So did I!" He was still holding me around my waist "Well I'm glad I got to see you before our big day!" I said rapping my arms around his neck.
"Think, this time tomorrow you will be Anna Bjorgman! Sounds weird saying it!" He chuckled.
"I like it." I said going on my tiptoes to kiss him.
We kissed for a while when he finally pulled away "Come on you need some rest!" He said taking my hand and walking me back to my room, he kissed me goodnight then went to bed!
Hey guys sorry I haven't posted in a while I've been petty busy! I also made Amber and everyone older as I realised that the thing I have planned is for an older child so I'm sorry about that! What would you like to happen? Review please!
