It all began in the morning when Anna saw something seemingly typical awkward morning.
Anna looks at the picture in awe
"Oooh~ It's a Domowick!?"
Val – What?
Anna – They are hairy household spirits back in my home. So I asked if that was a local one?
She was pointing at the picture of a certain old MIFTER...
Val – Ah, that is David, our fellow MIFT worker.
Duncan – A repairman to be exact.
Cutter- You know, one who does repairs.
Anna – Ooh so Domowick is David? Are you making him a surprise? Then do you have a cake?
She does talk fast, but the trio aren't quick in response.
Should they tell her?
Val - ... uh Anna, he isn't here anymore, he's uh away.
Anna – Oh, then can I have a cake?
She clearly loves it very much
Cutter – Sorry kiddo, no sweets or candies on table today.
Anna became stubborn "Oooow but I want a cake!" I'm hungry! I wanna eat!
Duncan – Ouh for monster sake, just wait a minute or two! This is very important tribute we got here!
Anna boos Duncan as "Dunk Funk!"
Tylor then comes in wanting to start off the work day on a positive note.
Tylor – Hello fellow MIFTERs! Good morning to you Anna! How'd you sleep?
Anna – Had dreams about flying ducks! That was fun but now Dunk angers me!
Duncan – Oh c'mon!
Tylor – Ah, well then let me make this morning worthwhile! I BROUGHT DONUTS! Chocolate one too!
Anna was excited to hear that as she rushed to grab it "oh oh give me! give me!"
Alas her wish was denied as Val then threw the box to Duncan Cutter who burned it all the way in the garbage can, leaving Anna offended.
Ann's- Heeey! If you didn't want it you could've just give it to me!
Val – Sorry Anna but today's not the time. David doesn't like donuts!
Anna looked confused "Didnt you say he was away?"
Cutter sighs, Duncan facepalms and Val sweats
Tylor – Well yeah because he's passed awa-
Val puts a hand on his mouth but it's too late
Anna – Passed... away? Like grandpa Runeard... that's sad...
Cutter pats Anna "No offense, didn't want to ruin your day even more... worry not he didn't suffer too much..
Val looks away defiant
Anna – Liar! Liar! Pants on fire!
None of them had pants though, still Val tries to help
Val – Okay okay I'll buy you a cake or two afterwards today. Will that do?
Anna hugged her dino toy as she slowly looked at her "Pinkie promise?"
Val – Yup, just don't mention cake or donut or sweets here right now okay?
Tylor – heheh okay okay, I get it now. I should've brought bagels instead!
He then wonders at hair in jar , if he'd been here in one piece, he'd feel awkward too...
It was followed by Fritz coming in, giving a speech and then open the door for someone to come in while Anna asked Tylor "If he's dead now... who are we waiting for?"
Tylor – Kind of, I think it's just play pretend game... Try imagine him here.
She nodded and once door opens, everyone in line starts saying hello, like to an old friend long missed and finally back...
When her turn came , she too did what Tylor said and played pretend.
Anna - *giggles* Hi David Domowick Ghost! Welcome to Monsters MEFT!
She said so while jumping with her dino toy above her head... without her monster suit on.
Fritz – Uh I think forgot her suit...
The room fell silent for a moment...
Val – uhm ... I know you're surprised, this kid here is uh, our new MIFTER stud! And... she's human...
Anna – My name is Anna of Arendelle! And I love hugs and sweets!
Her answer was cute, but what happened was rather drastic.
The door was forced open by the wind and David's jmhair from the jar flied away with it, much to everyone's surprise.
The team didn't like the sound of that as they were sweating in panic
Fritz – No no no! David come back!
Cutter – Buddy kid's here temporarily!
Val – Oh boy...
Duncan – We have go give chase Fritz!
Fritz - Right! Ty Ty you and Anna come too!
Anna – Yay hunt for ghosts!
Tylor – ...what just happened?!...
Hair flied all over the place fir some reason as if it was luring them somewhere, OR it was searching for something. It took a few collisions and near fallout but they found it.
Or Tylor did with Anna, they reached the Shredder Shaft...
It supposed to be good since hair stopped, they can pick it up.
Except then the shredder lights up and activates...
It was really close... they almost got slices and torn in half like David did...
But speaking of him, then something else happened...
Something incredible and unbelievable...
At first there was nothing but darkness around them...
Anna looks around , not knowing where she was...
Tylor was next to wake up there and he comforted her.
Tylor – Don't worry, I sure we'll find our way out...
There was a feeling in him however that maybe they're not even lost but simply... gone...
He tried not to think about it...
Only for a voice to come in as a sunlight shined onto the two
They look up to see someone standing in doorway surrounded by clouds.
"Why hello there, my fellow yet new MIFTERS... it's good that we can finally meet"
Anna – Woow are you an angel?
"Not quite, I'm simply one who lived once but no more... now just a humble spirit"
Tylor – Wait a minute, are you David!?
David – In the spirit himself. Like I said, it's good to see you. And before you ask no you are not lost in Scaradise, not today.
Tylor – That sounds... relaxing... So you are real! Gosh I really should apologise to them...
David – And I'll talk about it with you of course, but first... you little one...
He points at Anna
David – I left in a hurry for two reasons... First to bring you there, where I died so that we could talk... and two there was a friendly entity here that would love to see you...
Anna – Really?! Who is it?
David then steps aside so that the figure may come in too...
It was a tall woman... with hair as white as star... with her dress combining symbols of moon, water, and ice... accompanied with blue diamonds in them, and she also had a strange crown on her head looking more like deer horns...
Anna couldn't recognise her really, maybe because all the light made it harder to see
David – Tylor I think we should give them a little space.
Room cleared up as it then took new form, clouds were showing instead and sky was bright.
Tylor – Anna, if anything happens, call me. Okay?
Anna understood and nodded
David and Tylor took some distance on a far cloud, leaving Anna with the lady who was approaching her.
She looks familiar now up close but she still couldn't tell who she was, maybe because she also had a hood over her head...
She sits on her knee looking at her, placing her hand on Anna's cheek...
Anna – Do you know me?
Anna now noticed she did look familiar to one person...
Anna - You look like mama... are you her relative?
She flinched a bit at that before patting Anna
"No..."
Her voice sounded distant even though she was right there
"I am not her sister... I am your sister... Anna"
At that Anna wasn't sure what she meant, her sister? She only had Elsa, she doesn't remember any other sibling in her family...
Anna – BOO you're lying! I only have my sister Elsa back home!
She lifts her hand and counts.
"I'll ask some questions first... then you'll answer"
Anna pouts her cheek
"Your parents names are?"
Anna - ... papa Agnarr and mama Iduna!
"Who is your favourite history hero?"
Anna – My great great great gradnma Joan of Arc! I love her fighting wars and protecting people! I wanna grow a hero like her!
Then the woman asks something even more personal
"What is your personal Christmas tradition?..."
Anna – Building snowman like our favourite OLAF! He loves warm hugs!
And at that the figure was convinced 'It IS her...'
The lady then slowly removes the hoodie, revealing her face to puzzled Anna.
Her face was like Elsa's, just larger ... and sadder... with her eyes looking tired
Anna – Why do you look like her?...
Maybe she I one of werewolves?
Anna – Are you a Mara?
"Anna... my little sister, you always asked me...You wanna build a snowman¿~ I thought I'd never ask you again for I didn't see you for so long..."
Anna's eyes started to tear up a bit though she still could hardly believe
Anna – What... you...
G. Elsa – I missed you so much...
Elsa hugged Anna tightly with Anna's hairstreak is whitening further
Anna could feel tears running down her cheeks
Her hands shook before she asked
Anna – What toy-... did papa give Elsa?
Elsa didn't let go but answered "Grandma Rita's soldier doll Sir Jorgenbjorgen"
Her hands then hugged back as she cried into her sister's shoulder
It's really her .
She's here with her.
Not pushing her away.
Together again like before.
G. Elsa – When David told me, I couldn't believe it at first... I wanted to see for myself...
She looks at Anna wiping off her tear
G. Elsa – And here you are... that same happy little girl who supported me during the midsummer parade.
At the time she was riding on a pony Mister Waffles. Anna wanted to do that too but only got her chance years later at The Ice Games.
She doesn't understand how is she here... she couldn't be...
Anna didn't really give it a thought though, instead jumping in joy.
Anna – I remember that too! I'm so happy you're here! And Whoa you're so big! You were older than me but now you're as big as mom!
Elsa giggled before placing Anna on her shoulders
G. Elsa – I can be bigger if you want...
Elsa then grew up in size as Anna now found herself on one big shoulder instead of two...
She tripped and fell off before falling into Elsa's arm
G. Elsa – Careful now, I may be too much for you...
Anna – Elsa how do you have magic and I don't?
Elsa looks a bit concerned at that question, it wasn't something she should tell Anna, especially her little self... wait a minute... why is she so small?
G. Elsa – Anna, how are you here?
That question was intriguing since centuries gone by... So much time flew by... so much may be unknown to her...
Anna – Well, me and Blue Bull Tylor were on a hunt for David ghost! And we found him! And then we are here with you!
Elsa sighs, not surprised that Anna misunderstood her question
G. Elsa – Anna, I meant how are you there in Monstropolis? And how old are you?
Anna understood the first question but laughed at the other.
Anna – Hehehe I am 5 silly! 3 years smaller than you, looks like with size your age also grows! And I came to MIFT when Tylor visited my room behind my closet door. It was super scary so I was on guard but fearlessly charged in!
Elsa looks amazed
'So the door opened even further in time... must've been quite rare. So it opened in her room during that isolated period in their lives'
Elsa didn't like remembering things like that but she didn't feel as much pain anymore...
Anna couldn't say the same though
"Elsa, now that you talk to me... why did you not play with me? Why stay away from me?... Do you hate me for something?"
Elsa was quick to shoot down that belief as lightning bolt cracked around her
G. Elsa – No! No! That's not true!
Her voice rises, scaring Anna who held her ears at crackling lightning
Seeing this , Elsa then proceeds to calms her mind.
Anna was laying on her arm, nearly tearing up
Elsa – Anna! I'm sorry I did that! I just didn't want you to think that. I don't hate you I promise... pleased don't hate me too...
Elsa regressed to her old size as she held Anna in her arms
Anna didn't yell at her, she didn't kick her she simply hugged her again before asking "Then why?... why weren't you with me??"
It was only then that Elsa noticed Anna's paling hairstreak which was growing and spreading...
Now more than ever.
Elsa now remembered another detail, Pabbie's spell. It's weakening. If it continues, Anna will freeze to death...
She can help her remove it, she is sure of that... but if she does, how may that affect their past?
It was a bittersweet pill to swallow but that may have to wait...
Elsa placed her hands at Anna's cheeks, looking her in the eye.
"Anna, please don't ask me... I know you want answers and one day I promise you'll find out..."
Anna – I don't wadda be alone back home Elsa...
Elsa could feel her being causing lightnings again at that
"I promise you won't be... We will see each other again soon... but right now, you have to trust me, my brave little sister... who is the future hero of Norway?"
Anna sniffled before wiping away her tears
Anna – I AM! JUST YOU WAIT AND SEE!
Elsa – Good... now, listen I will sing you a song and you'll wake up back where you were in MIFT...
Anna – Will I see you again??
Elsa – I assure you... I'm always here...
This is the song she heard a long time ago on a certain adventure.
She began to sing it in her beautiful voice
~When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Cnything your heart desires
Will come to you
If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
Cs dreamers do
Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true~
Anna kept hearing that song as she was waking up to the shredder shift where she atop Tylor... She sees Val looking at her worried before she hugged Anna.
Val – You two made me worry! You can't just get so close to the shredder like that!
Tylor slowly came to as well, Val didnt sosre him either
Val – I thought we lost you just like David! Never do that again please!
Tylor sighs before smiling at her caring attitude
Tylor – I won't. I'm sorry we caused concerns, I didn't intend for us to get that close...
Val hugged the two tightly, happy for their safety
Anna held David's hair by herself though she felt confused...
Anna – Big Tai... do we have something important to do or did we forget something?
Tylor felt compelled to tell her but a promise was a promise... Not yet...
Tylor – We do have a cake to buy right Val?
Anna – Cake! Yes Cake!
Val – Okay... okay! But first let's report to others before we redeploy to Sweets.
The spiritual escapade didn't end on that day, much more is yet to come...
And they'll be watching...
From stars at the very end of sky...
Notes :
1. I again wish happy anniversary to Disney and commend 'Once Upon A Studio' short we got - https/youtu.be/MAPWolVnmUc?si=Un9iR32VkN57P1EV
2. Anna actually met Domowick/Domovoy in Frozen lore before Trolls wiped her memories. Not sure if she remembered him after memories thawed out though...
3. In Scandinavia, there existed, for example, the famous race of she-werewolves known with a name of Maras, women who took on the appearance of huge half-human and half-wolf monsters that stalked the night in search of human or animal prey.
4. Goddess Elsa's look design in this chapter - https/r/Frozen/comments/ezrvh6/behold_your_avatar_goddess_of_the_elements_elsa/
5. MI 2 Lost In Scaradise project also dealt with themes of death so it's appropriate title.
6. You may guess where Monsters Inc here takes place if you look carefully.
As Mickey stated to Walt "On with the show" and STAY TUNED for more!
