Author's note: This is the chapter where Elsa's powers will come into play.


This morning

Elsa woke up and saw a beautiful morning. Even though she couldn't feel heat nor could the cold bother her, she was quite happy to be off of the mountains. She turned her head and saw that her ma and pa still weren't there, neither she nor Anna had seen them since they went with Uncle Arthur and Uncle Lenny.

Elsa let out a small yawn, and she got up. Since she basically lived outside, she didn't really see the need to have shoes so often, she she walked through camp barefoot. "Hi, Mr. Dutch." She greeted Van Der Linde. He had been up for a while. He had his favored vest, hat, revolvers, and everything else he almost always wore, except for his jacket. He had a cigar in his hand. "Good morning, Elsa." He kindly said back.

The princess walked past his tent and over to the main campfire, which was nothing but embers now. She sat down on the big log and stared at the embers while thinking. She wondered if she should tell the gang about her magic. But then she thought maybe it was a bad idea to show it. But at the same time, other than Micah, everyone was very kind to her and Anna.

Then, she started thinking about Arendelle and became a bit homesick. Then, she heard footsteps, and she turned around and saw Dutch come up and sit down next to her.

"Hi, Uncle Dutch." She said. "Hello." Dutch greeted before he noticed her sad expression. "What's wrong?"

"I just miss home." Elsa said. Dutch felt sorry for her. He wished he could tell her about the fact that she had actually time traveled. But even though he was still trying to wrap his head around the existence of time travel, he was smart enough not to try to ruin time as much as possible.

There was also the fact that she wouldn't understand it at all. They both heard giggling behind Dutch, and he knew who was behind him. It was little Anna trying to scare him. "Boo!" She jumped up from behind him, which got a giggle out of Elsa. "You won't get me that easily." Dutch said before he got an idea.

"You two wanna come fishing with me?" He asked. "Fishing?" The girls asked in unison. "Yeah, it's pretty boring, but it's also fun." Dutch said. "Okay." The girls said. "Come on, then. Hosea knows a good spot." Dutch watched the girls run back to their tent and got their shoes on while he waited.

As soon as they were ready, Dutch spotted Hosea brushing his horse Silver Dollar. "Old girl! Show us this creek you've been pissing." Dutch said, insulting Hosea a little. "We wanna come fishing." Anna said as she ran up to Hosea. "Alright, I suppose it won't hurt." Hosea mounts his horse and picks up Anna and puts her in front of him. Dutch and Elsa did the same thing, and they strode out of camp, onto a rather thin trail, down to the river.

The outlaws told the princesses stories of how they came to be a gang. Including the fact that when Arthur was 21, he had gone fishing and came back with 3 beautiful bass. The next day, when he, Dutch, and Hosea were in town, the shopkeeper asked Arthur how the fish was.

The girls laughed at it. Soon, they made it to the river. "This looks like a good spot." Hosea said.

They lift the girls off their horses before dismounting themselves. Dutch grabs 3 fishing poles from The Count, while Hosea grabs a pole he is gonna give to Jack, but he would let Anna use it until he can make another.

"Let us see your poles." Dutch and Hosea put cheese on the hooks, much to the kids' confusion. "Cheese is a very good way to get fish. Unless you want to use worms."

The girls scrunched up their noses and went 'ew!' Getting a laugh from the adults. "Watch what I am doing." Hosea raises his pole behind his back before throwing it forward, making the hook fly into the water. "Like that." Dutch said.

The girls took a few tries, but they managed to get their hooks in the water. "What now?" Anna asked. "Now we wait." Dutch said to the 5 year old.

It felt like hours but was actually 15 minutes until Elsa felt the end of her rod twitch. "Remember, if you feel a hard tug, then yank back as hard as you can to hook it. Then you start reeling it in." Dutch instructed. Anna watched as her sister's rod was tugging harder. Elsa yanks her rod back and hooks the fish.

"Now, start reeling it in." Hosea said. Elsa does so, but the tug felt very powerful against her small body. She hoped it wouldn't drag her into the river because she didn't know how to swim. "Do you need some help?" Hosea asked. Elsa shook her head and continued.

Suddenly, she was swept off her feet and dragged into the river. Her magic flaired, and she ended up creating an ice raft as she climbed on. Hosea and Dutch just stared at her in wonder, while Anna was happy her sister was safe.

Hosea dropped his pole and went into the water to collect the princess. "Are you okay?" He asked, no longer shocked about her magic.

Elsa nodded a little, and Hosea carried her back to shore.

"I'm sorry, guys." Elsa said. "For what?" Dutch asked. "For... that." Elsa pointed at her ice raft. "Elsa, there is nothing to be sorry for. We all have seen weirder things in our time. You only surprised us a little." Dutch said. "So you're not mad?" Elsa asked. "Not at all."

"Think it's time we head back?" Hosea asked. They had caught nothing today. "Sure." Dutch and Elsa said together. "Awe!" Anna pouted a little in a cute way. But she reluctantly walked to Hosea as he lifted her onto his horse. Elsa and Dutch mount up on The Count.

"Do we have to?" Anna asked. "Pearson may have made breakfast, and besides, Elsa might need a rest for a bit." Dutch said up ahead.

The trip back to camp was filled with conversation. Elsa's mind was taken off of her powers, and she laughed when Hosea resumed the story about Arthur. Soon, they made it back to camp.

"We'll talk to your parents when they get back, okay?" Dutch said. Elsa nodded. He lifts her off, as does Hosea with Anna. "Jack is awake!" She ran to play with her friend with a couple of sticks and acting like they were pirates. They had begged a mostly recovered John to play, but he said no. "I'll play." Auntie Abigail said as she grabbed a stick of her own and started playing with the children.

The 3 of them pretended that camp was a ship called the S.S. Van Der Linde. Dutch smiled at the name.

He entered his tent and started reading a book. "Uncle Dutch, what are you reading?" Elsa asked. "Evelyn Miller. A fine author." Dutch said. Elsa entered the tent and sat on the cot with him. "Can I read with you?" She asked. "I don't see why not." Dutch started reading aloud.

And now

"And that's it." Dutch concluded. They had told Elsa to go play with her sister. "So just you and Hsoea know?" Agnarr asked. "Yeah." Dutch said.

"Well, I need to go sleep. After last night, I will never touch alcohol again. Iduna said. Dutch chuckled. "Agnarr, care to tell me what you 4 got up to last night?" Dutch asked. Agnarr explained away.


Author's note: This is where I am ending the chapter. I know it has been 2 months since I last updated. Sorry about that. Chapter 7 will be up soon, though. And I should add that I didn't mean to put that everybody knew about Elsa's powers in the last chapter. Just pretend I didn't out that there.
