welcome to my first ever one-shot of 'Disney's Frozen 2013' fandom. this fanfiction is all about the time that Kristoff spent with Anna, Elsa and Olaf during 'Olaf's Frozen Adventure' told from his own point of view. at least, this hasn't been done before on here. this is also available on Wattpad, if you wanna read it from there. this tells all about what happened with Kristoff during 'Olaf's Frozen Adventure', you know, the holiday special in which the pudgy little snowman tries to find a holiday tradition for his creator and her sister. are we still not gonna discuss the fact that Olaf is practically Elsa's son, albeit her son made up entirely of ice and snow. I just don't know what else to think of that part of the little guy's existence. anyway, enough ranting from me. this fanfiction is a total of four-thousand-six-hundred words of pure storyline, not including this explanatory headnote, right here. nor does that storyline include the (mandatory) disclaimer which makes up the following paragraph after this one or the comment from yours truly which I have disguised as an author's note hidden within the beginning of the fanfiction. see if you can find it. I know this is a bit of an off-season fanfiction. I had actually wanted to post this during the Christmas season, but I promise to read this story myself when December finally comes around this year. I just finished this today is why I'm posting it now. OK, enough talk. on to the disclaimer.
disclamation: I don't own 'Olaf's Frozen Adventure' in any way, shape, or form, nor do I own anything of the 'Disney's Frozen' franchise, except for DVDs and Bluray discs. I also own a book or a manga of the story or two. in terms of owning the franchise, itself, I'm afraid I don't have any rights to it. I'm afraid that all rights to the franchise are reserved exclusively for the Walt Disney Animated Film Company and for the author of 'The Snow Queen', Hans Christian Andersen. I know he had the same name as the villain in the original 'Frozen' film from Disney, but that wasn't my decision. it was the director's decision. I have nothing to do with him/her, though. I'm but a humble fanfiction writer/blogger. I write my fanfictions on documents from within the Microsoft Word application, and then when I'm done with them, I blog them onto here and onto Wattpad.
I had a lot more adventures with Anna, Sven, Elsa and Olaf along the way before I had finally married the princess of Arendelle. The first one of them all was just during the following Christmas the winter after the snow queen of Arendelle had inadvertently frozen that summer over.
Sven and I had just returned with the Jule Bell for Anna and her sister, Elsa, to ring in the holidays with the entire kingdom of Arendelle. And the entire kingdom was more than happy to start Christmas and joined their friends and neighbors in the palace courtyard, only to leave Anna and Elsa the minute the Jule Bell had already been rung.
I had to say that the look of pure, surprising disappointment upon both of their depressed faces was not really something I had expected to see. I had always been sure that both of them knew that the citizens of their kingdom had their own Christmas traditions for which to head back to their homes. It had suddenly dawned on Olaf, Sven and I that Anna and Elsa did not have so much as one holiday tradition due to being locked away from their own kingdom along with the rest of the world while King Agnarr and Queen Iduna tried to help Elsa achieve complete control over her powers, albeit in vain since the two of them both went about it the wrong way.
I had to do something about it, all three of us did. Of course, I had my own plan set up nice and easy, while Olaf just took Sven and my sled out for a search for a tradition that Anna and Elsa could have to spare. I guess that it really had beaten my plan by a long shot. At least, it did until Olaf got good and lost in the woods and surrounded by ravenous wolves that were after something that in retrospect, was not a very appetizing Christmas tradition, at all. Then, Olaf got even more trouble when a hawk snatched said fruit cake, which was around the time the entire kingdom had to follow Sven's nose and go looking for the pudgy little snowman.
A/N: yeah, I'm talking about the fruit cake. what else would I be talking about? I'm more into peppermint bark as a Christmas treat, myself. but that's just my personal taste.
By the time we had finally found Olaf, he was completely enveloped by the snow which surrounded him and only his hair sticks and the end of his carrot nose were visible to the naked eye. Once Sven pulled Olaf out of the snowdrift by the end of his nose which was sticking out of the snow like a sore thumb, the poor little guy looked real downhearted over the feeling of having failed to find even an acceptable holiday tradition for Anna and Elsa. "I'm sorry," he apologized to them. "You still don't have a tradition," he said dejectedly.
I knew exactly how the little guy felt, but Elsa had found a Christmas tradition back in the palace just before Sven had come back to tell of Olaf getting lost in the woods. "But we do, Olaf. Look," Anna said before opening the box that her sister had found while they were up in the castle's attic.
Olaf looked inside Elsa's old box and saw the most familiar face he had ever known. Then, the pudgy little guy gasped upon just how familiar the face was to him. Actually, the whole box was full of the same familiar face. "Wait," he said. "Is that…" he was ready to ask the queen and princess of Arendelle. Then, he touched his stick hand to the box.
Elsa answered his almost question. "Anna made these years ago," the snow queen told the pudgy little snowman.
"When we first made you," Anna continued for her sister.
"You were the one who brought us together and kept us connected when we were apart," Elsa told Olaf for both herself and Anna.
Anna continued telling the story of their tradition from there. "Every Christmas, I made Elsa a gift," she said.
"All those long years alone, we had you to remind us of our childhood," Elsa said, finally talking deciding to talk about the time during which she and her sister, Anna, spent separated from one another.
I suppose the fact that Elsa suddenly sounded this open to talking about all those years both she and Anna spent locked up alone probably meant that she was finally at peace with those terrible times.
"Of how much we still loved each other," Anna said, adding to her sister's words from such a moving speech.
"It's you, Olaf. You are our tradition," Elsa told the little guy.
"Me?" Olaf asked the both of them.
'Yes, you,' I thought to myself, feeling just about ready to flash back to when Anna and Elsa had first told me about their tradition box which held all those pictures and even that little hand-woven doll of Olaf that the princess had given to the snow queen every year at Christmas during their untimely separation.
Sven had just made it back to the royal stables in which I was fixing up a nice bowl of Flemmy Stew to serve for the princess and queen that I had such high hopes of changing their minds about my troll family's traditions. "Sven, the Flemmy Stew is ready. Anna and Elsa are gonna love this," I said to Sven.
I then pretended to speak for him just like always once he began randomly grunting at me. "Oh, Kristoff, you're so thoughtful. Now, where's my bowl?" I asked myself for my reindeer companion.
I was bringing him his bowl for the Flemmy Stew when he kept grunting like he was rabid and panicking about the entire royal stable. "Hey, simmer down, buddy," I scolded him good-naturedly. "Here you go," I handed him his bowl, only to have him spit something or other into his Flemmy Stew. "Whoa! What are you…" I began to ask before he positioned the whole carrot which he had spat into the stew. It looked pretty familiar somehow. I just could not exactly put my finger on it at the time until it up and hit me like a cobblestone to the head. "Oh! Of course," I said to my reindeer companion.
Sven just nodded his head in agreement to what I was thinking. "Needs more carrots!" I said for him.
Surprisingly, all Sven did in response was grunt in frustration with me like, for the first time in our lives together, I did not get what he was saying, which was just not possible. "Can't get enough of 'em, can ya?" I asked him.
But then, Sven grabbed the whole carrot out of his bowl of the Flemmy Stew and shoved it onto his nose and started acting really, really weird for one reason or another. First, he impersonated Olaf. Then, he started imitating a wolf. God, did I hate those animals. Then, he mimicked Olaf once more before acting full-on wolf for a second time in a row. I guess I might have been losing my touch with the inner workings of Sven's brain, after all.
Then, of all people to finally spell out what Sven was getting at for me, it just had to be Anna and her sister, Elsa. "Oh no! Olaf's lost in the forest?" Anna spoke of her little friend first. Kai, head servant of Arendelle castle, was with the both of them.
"And being chased by hungry wolves?" Elsa finished off. Elsa, the snow queen, of all people, could understand why Sven was acting so crazy better than even I could at the time? What was wrong with me?
"Yeah, obviously," I said, trying to sound smart and impressive for Anna and Elsa, though mostly Anna. I just set Sven's bowl aside before the princess or the queen could notice what I had been up to in the royal stables at the time.
"Ring the bell! Gather everyone!" I heard Anna say to Kai. I began running along with them when I had remembered Sven wasting time being crazy in the royal stables.
I rushed back towards my reindeer companion with intent to scold until I remembered that Olaf was in danger and my scolding would have to wait until after we found the pudgy little guy. I would have to have settled for ordering Sven to make use for himself. "Come on, Sven. Make yourself useful! Olaf needs our help," I told him.
I made it back to Anna and Elsa along with Sven and tried to console both of them about having to search for Olaf instead of a possible tradition. "I'm really sorry that you two have to spend your Christmas on a search and rescue mission instead of searching for a potential holiday tradition inside the palace. This must be really hard on you especially, Anna. Since, you know, you were looking forward to this Christmas and Sven just had to lose Olaf in the forest," I scolded him about losing track of the poor, unsuspecting little snowman in wolf-infested terrain.
Elsa then completely slapped me across the face just as Olaf's arm had when first removing it from his body upon first meeting him, only she used an icicle arm. "Why do men never understand the feelings of living creatures?" the snow queen said in response to my scolding of Sven.
Did the snow queen just take Sven's side over mine? Did she? "OK. So, maybe Elsa's on Sven's side. But I'm sure that Anna believes my end of the_" I began but never got the chance to finish because Anna interrupted me at the time I was talking to her about taking my side of my first ever argument with Sven.
"Nope! I'm on Sven's side, too," Anna said simply to me.
What the hey is all this about? "I'm confused, you two. Sven was just goofin' off and goin' crazy while I actually followed you on your search for Olaf. So, how could you two possibly believe him over me?" I asked Anna and Elsa.
Anna answered me for both herself and her sister on Sven's behalf for some reason. "I believe Sven over you, Kristoff, because Sven had told us that Olaf was in danger," she said in Sven's defense.
Believe it or not, her majesty, Queen Elsa, actually became the next person scolding me. "I bet he even left Olaf to get help from the kingdom, and aren't you the one who's supposed to know what Sven's saying?" Elsa scolded me in addition to her younger sister. "Because if that's even true, it sure didn't look like it to me."
"Ooops," I said simply before blushing embarrassedly enough to make all the snow melt before even the first holiday in of the whole winter was over. Of course, it would have been just too premature for my dignity, especially considering that winter had only just begun by then, with it being Christmas and everything.
With that, Anna and Elsa went right back to scolding me about not understanding a word from Sven for the first time in our lives since we had first met and become friends. I suppose that the snow queen and the princess of Arendelle would have continued to scold me about failing to interpret Sven's grunts and brays for the first time in my friendship with my reindeer companion, however, were it not for the fact that we needed the whole kingdom's help to search for Olaf, himself, and they just did not have the time to continue arguing with me on Sven's behalf.
"You're just lucky that we have to find Olaf, Kristoff," Elsa told me. "If we didn't need to be on this search-and-rescue mission for the snowman who's practically my son, we would so still be at your throat, Mr. So-Called-Reindeer-Whisperer," Elsa finished off.
Elsa considered Olaf as her son? Well, I guess that technically since she did build him and bring him to life, the pudgy little snowman was technically the snow queen's son, albeit her son made entirely of snow, coals for his buttons and eyes, a few or more sticks for his arms and hair, and a carrot for his nose. I still could not believe that it took as long as thirteen years for Anna and her sister, Elsa, to finally build their old childhood snowman.
Sven suddenly began grunting at me once more. "What's that, buddy?" I asked him. Sven just continued braying at me. "Oh, right, that. Uh, on a totally different and slightly unrelated note, Sven and I wanna know if… well, I mean, Sven certainly wants to know if you two were able to find any Christmas traditions from within the palace." I instantly covered up for myself by pretending that it was only my reindeer companion's desire to know about the snow queen and princess's quest to find a Christmas tradition.
Anna looked like she felt as though I had finally come through for her in not turning out to be a total lie to her sister and Elsa looked thoroughly impressed at my finally proving her younger sister right. "So, you really can understand your reindeer companion, after all," the snow queen said, finally giving me a little respect after about five months or so of nothing but doubt in my abilities. I supposed that understanding animal speak read better to her than occupational isolation on my resume for her Official Ice Master and Deliverer, like the title she had assigned to me just so that I could be near her younger sister had suggested.
"I suppose I was just a little rusty with that skill, your majesty," I responded back to Elsa, rubbing the back of my head nervously. Anna and her sister giggled a bit at my nerves about Elsa's skepticism towards my skills. "So, did you find any traditions in the palace at all?" I asked them both.
Anna and Elsa just smiled at my question. "Well, Kristoff, if Sven needs to know that badly," Anna began. "We both found one Christmas tradition that we had in the palace," the princess of Arendelle finished.
I was suddenly relieved to hear that the two of them had a holiday tradition after all. "That's nice," I said. "So, what is your holiday tradition, then?" I asked Anna.
" Well, if you need to know that badly," Anna began, looking back towards her sister, Elsa. "I'm sure that Elsa wouldn't mind if I told at least one person ahead of time," the princess finished.
I guessed that the snow queen only wanted to stay on her younger sister's good side at the time. "I suppose that it's OK if you tell him, since he is pretty much a part of the family now," Elsa said before she continued with her terms for Anna telling me. "Only because of that and only him, though," the snow queen said to the princess gently yet firmly on her condition.
It was then that Anna showed Sven and I hers and Elsa's singular holiday tradition. Both of the royal sisters took turns telling Sven and I the story of how their childhood snowman became their singular holiday tradition. I guess that Olaf was more than just a magical snowman to the two of them, then.
"That's an incredible story, you two," I told both Anna and Elsa.
Sven just brayed in agreement with me at the time. "And, I'm sure Olaf's gonna love hearing that story, too," I said for Sven.
"Yeah, I know he'll love hearing it," Anna told the both of us. "As soon as we find him," she added.
That was when my flashback came to an end. "Surprise!" Anna told Olaf after both her and Elsa had told the pudgy little snowman the same story they told me and Sven when searching for the little guy.
"Aw!" was Olaf's only response to Elsa and Anna's story of their holiday tradition as both royal sisters hugged him. I, for one, was more than willing to bet that those remnants of Olaf from the princess of Arendelle onto which the snow queen had held in that little amber box and even cherished every year in secrecy were basically the only thing that had really kept Anna and Elsa's sisterhood alive during all that time in which the palace gates were closed. Thirteen long years those gates were closed, and their sisterhood suffered so much for it. The remnants of Olaf Anna had made for Elsa every year at Christmas were the only thing to truly keep their sisterhood alive. Considering that Sven and I had only been a part of the royal sisters' lives for not that much longer than even a year, specifically a total of five months or so, all I could say about the pudgy little snowman from their childhood more or less being the only holiday tradition between the two royal sisters was that it was certainly a lot more than that scumbag in prince's clothing, Hans, had ever done for them… and then some.
It was then that Elsa started a song. "Sure, it's nice to open a gift that's tied up with a perfect bow," the snow queen sang as she summoned her ice powers and dressed her son, Olaf, up with a nice little bowtie made entirely of ice.
Then, Anna began to sing along with her sister's song. "But, the greatest present of all was given to me long ago," the princess of Arendelle sang with her melodious voice.
Then, Elsa began singing once more. "It's something I would never trade. It's the family that we've made," Elsa's voice was like that of an angel's.
Even when Elsa had started the song, it seemed as though Anna quickly became the sister to sing the main verse of the song. "'Cause when we're together, I have everything on my list," the princess of Arendelle sang. A few Arendellians suddenly began approaching Olaf and gave him a ton of presents. By the time they moved away from him, he was completely wrapped in them.
Then, Elsa sang her own lyrics in the main verse's second part. "And when we're together, I have all I wished," the snow queen sang the second part of the main verse in hers and her younger sister's joint song.
Then, Anna added a few or more lyrics to the main verses in hers and Elsa's song. "All around the Christmas tree, there'll be dreams coming true," Arendelle's princess sang with her beautiful siren-like voice as she danced around Olaf's newly decorated with presents form with a herd of young children. I watched her and the children dance as I leant up against a tree.
Sven then showed up at Olaf's side and pulled him loose from the scarf in which he was wrapped, and he spun into Elsa's arms. Then, Elsa took over the singing to give her sister, Anna, a break to catch her breath. "But when we're together, then my favorite gift is you." Elsa then used her icicle powers to create a chain reaction in which an entire party could be set up with the right kind of decorations for the holiday, starting with a trailing path which led to the scene of said party. Olaf just giggled as he felt like he could suddenly lead the citizens of Arendelle along the clear path.
Then after a little while along the path with yours truly and Sven taking over leading all the Arendellians to where Elsa had in mind for their party. Anna and Elsa began to sing once again. "I would travel miles and miles, and I would follow any star," the two of them both sang together.
Later at a frozen over lake not that far from the Valley of the Living Rock in the Black Mountains, Anna and her sister, Elsa, continued with their song about spending the holidays with the ones you love and who love you. "I'd go almost any place if it's any place you are," the snow queen and the princess both sang together as one. The two of them both skated up to Olaf, Sven, and I as the little snowman and I worked together to push my reindeer companion back onto his feet as the ice was still completely and totally slippery to the poor creature's hooves.
Then, I watched as Oaken, of all people I had even known in my life, did a perfect triple axel over the icy lake. I, for one, did not know that that guy could skate that well. Not to mention that the semi-jolly giant skated like that while in nothing but a pair decorative shorts and a tiny, little hat along with his skates.
Then, Elsa continued singing hers and Anna's lovely little song as she conjured up a table onto which to place all the Christmas treats from the palace. "Cause when we're together," she sang with the mellifluous voice of an angel.
Then, Anna, herself, joined into her sister's song at that point. "When we're together," she sang with the melodious voice that sounded a lot like a mermaid's singing from just along the shores of the ocean.
That was when Elsa sang the rest of that verse on her own. "I'll forever feel at home," the snow queen sang in her angelic singing voice before once again singing another verse of the song she and her sister, Anna, had started not long after we all found Olaf. "And when we're together," she continued to sing.
Then, Anna, once again, joined in on Elsa's singing with her own mellifluous singing voice. "When we're together," she sang along with the snow queen's song for a second time in a row.
Elsa then began singing another verse of hers and Anna's shared song on her own, once again. "I'll be safe…" Elsa sang.
Then, Anna joined in with singing the rest of the verse with her sister, once again. "… safe and warm," the two sisters both sang together as Olaf and two young girls who looked a lot like they, themselves, were sisters enjoyed a soothing cup of hot cocoa. I suppose that the two young possible sisters had enjoyed it, while it just evaporated through Olaf's head. I guess that he could not eat, being a snowman and everything.
It was a lot like Anna and Elsa were taking turns singing the song, which I had finally realized. That was until this next verse when the princess and the snow queen sang together as one. "Doesn't matter where we are, if you're there with me," the two royal sisters sang as a duet.
Then, just when I thought they were going to sing as a duet for the rest of the song, Elsa proved me wrong when she returned to singing the next verse as a solo. "Cause when we're together, that's my favorite place…," Elsa sang what I felt really was going to be the last of the solo verses in the song just as she stepped further onto the frozen lake.
Then, Anna joined her sister, Elsa, in singing the remainder of the verse, which was the last two words of said verse. "… to be," the princess finished the snow queen's verse with her sister.
Then, Elsa took a dramatic step onto the icy lake as her magic conjured up what had looked like a Christmas tree made entirely of ice at her step. For one reason or another, the icicle Christmas tree, to me, looked a lot like the icicle chandelier from within the ice palace she had constructed so finely from atop the North Mountain in the prior July during the time of which her icy powers had first been unleashed when she felt really mad, scared and stressed out about her reign as queen and was willing to exile herself to the North Mountain. I remembered perfectly well that she and her snow and icicle powers would have stayed scared and guilt-driven if not for her sister, Anna. The icicle Christmas tree was even more beautiful than even I could have ever expected or possibly even imagined a Christmas tree made of ice could ever be. It was glorious, to put it mildly.
Anna and Elsa continued singing as soon as Elsa's creation of the icicle Christmas tree was completed. The two sisters even led a chorus as they sang. "Cause when we're together," they both sang together as one with the chorus following their singing voices.
Then, Elsa sang as one person. "It's a holiday every night," the snow queen sang. "And when we're together," she continued singing as a solo act before Anna and the chorus joined in again.
"Then, the season's bright," the two sisters sang together as a duet followed by the chorus of the entire kingdom of Arendelle.
Then, Elsa began singing the song as a solo artist again. "I don't need the bells to ring," she sang.
Then, Anna sang the same verse after her elder sister, Elsa, sang as a solo act. "I don't need the bells," the princess of Arendelle sang after her sister, the queen.
Then, Elsa sang solo again. "I'll know when it's here," the queen sang as mellifluously as an angel.
Then, Anna sang after her sister once again. "I'll know when it's here," she sang.
Then, Elsa spread ice around the doll of Olaf that Anna had given her a long time before while Elsa still had to hide her powers from even her own sister. She wrapped the ice around the doll until it resembled a star.
Then, the snow queen handed the doll wrapped in an icicle star to Olaf as she began to sing again. "Cause when we're together," Elsa sang to the snowman that was practically her son as she lifted him onto the top of the icicle Christmas tree to place the snowman doll wrapped in an icicle star up there.
Then, Anna joined in on the song with her sister just as Olaf was lifted off the ground and into the tree. "I could stay forever," the two sisters both sang together as one. "And when we're together," they sang together as one before letting Olaf take care of the final verse of the song.
"It's my favorite_" the pudgy little snowman sang to them both as Elsa used her icicle powers to send him back onto the ground when Olaf landed atop Sven's antlers.
The rest of us, yours truly included, joined in with Olaf's verse in the song from there. "_ Time of year," we all sang together as our own chorus.
Then, the lights around the icicle Christmas tree suddenly seemed to act on their own… in a good way, though. They just spread out to the rest of the forest covered in ice and snow and lit the forest up like stars in the sky on the clearest night of the summer, which was ironic considering that it was winter by then. "Well, I think Arendelle has a new tradition," Elsa told Olaf.
Anna was the next one to speak to the pudgy little snowman about what he wanted to do for the two sisters and what he did for them both instead. "Thank you, Olaf," Arendelle's princess told the little guy made up of ice and snow.
Then, we all heard a screech from up in the sky. It must have been the hawk Olaf told us that took the last tradition he was able to save from destruction for Anna and Elsa. At least, that was the conclusion I reached when seeing just what it had dropped off. "The fruitcake! It's a Christmas miracle!" the pudgy little snowman said about what the hawk dropped off upon the poor little guy's face.
Yep, that's right! The hawk stole a fruitcake from Olaf alright. The weird thing about that was not even why the hawk stole the fruitcake from Olaf. Oh, no, no. I would have easily said that it was really what the hawk had even wanted with the fruitcake at all.
