- Northuldra Camp, 5:07 P.M. -
With ample time passing, Elsa and Anna return to Rona's home, which Anna knocks on the door.
"Hey, we're back." announced Anna. "Is grandma presentable?"
The two heard a light chuckle from Magna inside before she answered...
"Yeah, come in."
Upon entering, the sisters saw Rona sitting up on her own on her bed. Magna sitting to the left of the tent, while Iduna sat to Rona's right, near her feet, facing her.
"Hello you two." greeted Rona with a smile, while Elsa and Anna walked up to their grandmother's right and sat.
"Hi again." replied Anna, before Elsa followed...
"Hi. How are you feeling?"
"Good." answered Rona. "It's one of my better days."
"That's wonderful to hear." stated Elsa, before Rona added...
"It's also wonderful to see you two again. I hope it's not too much of a bother to visit so often, especially you Anna. This is the second time in two days."
The remark prompted chuckles from the sisters, before Elsa commented...
"Don't you worry about that, grandma."
"Yeah." added Anna. "It's no bother making time to visit family."
"Especially with our new method of travel." continued Elsa. "Visiting is as simple as a stroll through town. So if for any reason, you'd like one of us, or both, to come visit, just let the spirits know, Gale preferably." she added, which brings a smile to Rona's face.
"Well, that's very kind, thank you."
"Oh!" gasped Anna delightfully. "Since Elsa can make portals too, now, you don't have to wait for me to train mine to visit our home. Elsa's portals are a lot safer for you to travel through! Anytime you're up to it, just let us know!"
"Oh, thank you." replied Rona with a smile,
"You don't have to worry about walking either." continued Anna. "Elsa can just make you a chair." she added, before Elsa commented...
"True, but it's probably not a good idea to have her sitting on ice."
"Oh, right... Hmm... Oh! Then I can make the chair with glass!" suggested Anna. "Oh, Oh! I can make a wheelchair!" she continued excitedly. "Yeah, that's my next goal, create a functional glass wheelchair so you can relax, take in the sights, and not exhaust yourself walking!" she added, which prompted a chuckle from Rona.
"That sounds lovely. Once you succeed in making the chair, body willing, I will visit your home."
"Great! I'll get to work on it as soon as I get home! I'm pretty sure there are a couple people in town that have or use a wheelchair. I could ask to examine it to get an idea of how to make one with my magic. Oh, and I'll make sure the chair is padded so you won't be sitting directly on the hard glass." she added, which not only brought another chuckle from Rona, but Iduna, Magna, and Elsa too, at Anna's delight and anticipation.
- 5:21 P.M. -
Following an enjoyable visit with their grandmother, the sisters leave Rona's home, saying their good-bye's.
"Se-ya later, Mother." commented Anna as she and Elsa gave a farewell wave to Iduna standing at the tents door.
"Later you two." replied Iduna, before she stepped forward and hugged both of her daughters, who returned the embrace. "Make sure you go to bed at a reasonable time, ok?" stated Iduna, as she pulled back with a smirk. "Don't fool around all night."
Both sisters faces redden from the remark, and they both responded with an embarrassed...
"Motheeer!"
Iduna simply giggled and retreated into the tent.
"She was probably waiting to say that." commented Anna with a smirk, while Elsa simply shook her head with a smile.
"Let's go tell Yelana we're leaving."
"Alright. I'm excited to get home and work on making a wheelchair for grandma!" replied Anna delightfully. "Heh, Grandma might be visiting as soon as tomorrow!"
Elsa simply chuckled as the two departed to find Yelana; however, they barely got a couple yards away before they saw Emory jogging towards them ahead.
"Hey you two." greeted Emory. "Gale told me you two had arrived."
"Yeah." replied Elsa. "We were about to head back home, just going to tell Yelana."
"Oh." replied Emory, before Anna grinned and commented...
"Speaking of Yelana, she said you have some admirers."
"Oh, hehe..." replied Emory with a nervous, embarrassed chuckle. "It's nothing, really. I'm not interested in that stuff right now."
"Well, your admirers are interested in you." commented Anna. "Do you know who they are?"
"Two in particular." answered Emory, before she lifted her right hand to stop the immediate follow-up question from Anna. "That's all I'm saying on this. I'm not interested in any romantic relationships right now; it's too soon for that anyway."
"Aww, ok then."
"So..." commented Elsa. "Aside from your admirers, how have things been?"
"Great, managed to improve a few peoples negative opinions of me, some not so much, but hey, can't change everyone's opinion with a chat. Some people need proof through action, which I'm very willing to do. Besides that, I've already made plenty of friends too, Honeymaren in particular-"
"Ohhh, her in particular?" teased Anna with a smirk. "She was trying to feed you yesterday."
"Stop that." replied Emory with an annoyed smirk. "I told you yesterday, it's not like that; We're just friends. She's helped me settle in, and I feel closer to her in comparison to everyone else, but not romantically. We're friends; that's it."
"Ok, ok." commented Anna with a smile. "I'll stop."
"Anyway..." added Emory, looking at Elsa with a smile. "She and her brother are letting me live with them in their home."
"Well, that nice of them." commented Elsa.
"Yeah, it's incredibly kind of them. I'm very grateful for them to let me consider their home to me my home too. I intended to build my own home, but they wouldn't have it. Better to live and sleep together than alone."
"I'm happy things are going well for you." stated Elsa.
"Me too." replied Emory. "Oh, by the way, I approached you two for a reason; I contacted your other selves."
"Oh..." replied the sisters with intrigue, before Anna added...
"Both of them?"
"Yeah, I wanted to establish a line of communication, and Elsa was actually with her Anna at the time. So, Elsa filled her Anna in about her trip here, meeting you two, me, and the possibility of meeting your parents. Anna was of course shocked, but eager to meet you two, Anna in particular." explained Emory.
"Ohhhh!" cooed Anna giddily. "How long ago was this!? Can you see if she's available to meet up now!?"
"Heh, I'd say it was about thirty minutes ago." answered Emory. "We can go leave the camp for a bit, and see if one or both of them are available."
"Hehe, Queen Anna, I can't wait!" replied Anna delightfully, prompting a chuckle from Elsa.
"Hope we don't peek in on her being 'occupied'."
"Oh, heh, right." replied Anna. "Well, lead the way, Emory."
"Alright."
Following Emory out of camp for a couple minutes, with Emory walking between the sisters, Elsa to her left and Anna to her right, Elsa recalled a piece of information Yelana mentioned and decided to bring it up with Emory.
"Hey Emory, Yelana told us Silvia had come here for you."
"Oh, that's right." added Anna. "She said Silvia brought a kid with her too, and introduced them to the kids in camp."
"Yeah, she visited." answered Emory.
"What for?" asked Elsa.
"She wanted me to look into the memories of one of her kids." answered Emory. "She said she had already located the girls mother, but wanted to see just how reliable I was."
"Oh." replied the sisters, before Emory continued...
"When you all first arrived, and Elsa was getting her anger out on Cassandra, Silvia and I made a little agreement, that if she kept my location a secret, she could bring her children to me to identify their parents, which would help her locate them, but since you two were kind enough to free me, the terms have changed, now I'll do just because I want to."
"Well, that's nice of you." commented Anna.
"I enjoyed meeting the kid." replied Emory. "She even talked Silvia into letting me reveal a memory of her's."
"Ohh, what memory?" asked Anna with a smile.
"It was a sad, but sweet memory of her as a child, and her parents having a funeral for her pet spider."
"Aww..." cooed Anna, while Elsa chuckled.
"A pet spider? She's scared of Bruni."
"Well not spiders, apparently." replied Emory. "When she was a kid, at least."
"While we're on the topic..." commented Anna. "What are you afraid of?"
"Being alone." answered Emory.
"I meant bugs and stuff." clarified Anna.
"Oh, then spiders." answered Emory. "I can't deal with spiders AT ALL."
"Really?" asked Elsa. "Aren't spiders a common thing out here in the forest?"
"They aren't THAT common." replied Emory. "Anyway, the tiny ones don't bother me too much, still don't like them, but I won't freak out over them. It's when they start getting to be palm-sized, and bigger, that even the sight of it just makes my heart race, my chest tighten up, and I start breathing hard and shaking."
"Geez..." commented Anna. "That sounds more like a phobia."
"What's that?" asked Emory.
"Well, it's like an extreme fear of something." answered Anna. "If just seeing a spider has your body react like that, it's definitely a phobia."
"Oh, well, is there a cure for it?"
"Uh... maybe learning more about spiders, and being around them more?" answered Anna, which prompted a grimace from Emory.
"What about you two?" asked Emory. "Any critters you're afraid of?"
"Hmm..." hummed Anna. "I'd say spiders, they just look creepy with their legs." she added, before Emory looked to Elsa and commented...
"And you, Elsa?"
"Hmm... I dunno. I can't think of anything I'd say I'm afraid of." answered Elsa.
"Really?" asked both, Emory, and Anna, who added...
"Not even spiders?"
"Hmm, nope, if it's not attacking me, why should I be afraid of it?" answered Elsa. "Now, if your rephrase the question to if there's any critters I don't care for, rather than afraid of, then I'd have an answer, and that would be rats."
"Isn't that the same thing?" asked Emory.
"I don't think so." replied Elsa. "For example. Using Anna, say you discovered a big spider in your room, how would you deal with it?"
"I'd probably scream and get someone to get rid of it for me." answered Anna.
"If I'd found a rat in my room, I'd get rid of it myself." stated Elsa.
"Really!?" asked Anna. "You'd touch it?"
"Heh, no, no, no! Goodness no! Yuck." replied Elsa with a chuckle. "I'd simply use my magic. Enclose it in a ball and toss it out the window."
"Wow, that's pretty cruel." commented Anna.
"Hey, if some critter has found it's way into my room, what ever fate gravity has for it will be it's future."
"I don't think a rat is surviving a trip out of your window." commented Anna, which Elsa simply shrugs her shoulders.
"Not my problem to deal with. Besides, the point is, I'd deal with the pest myself, instead of letting it drive me out of my room."
"Then you'll be my first option if I find a spider in my room." commented Anna with a smile, which Elsa replied with a chuckle.
"Hmm..." hummed Emory with a smile. "I wonder if you'd still have that stance if you didn't have magic."
"Ohh, good point." replied Anna with a grin. "Would you scream at the sight of a rat in your room then?"
"Heh, we'll never know, will we?" replied Elsa with a smile.
- A few minutes later -
"This should be far enough." commented Emory as she stopped, along with Elsa and Anna.
"Hehe, I can't wait to meet and speak to Queen Anna!" commented Anna delightfully, prompting a chuckle from Elsa and Emory, who lifted her right hand out in front of her and stated...
"Well, you won't have to wait much longer."
Within seconds, a window appeared in front of them, revealing a sight that brought a smile to Elsa and Anna's faces. Queen Anna laying on her bed. The view point faced the side of the bed, at an elevated angle, which allowed the three to see that the Queen seemed to be in distressed thought as she draped her right arm over her face with a sigh.
"Looks like something bothering her." commented Elsa. "Maybe this isn't a good time."
"She's looking forward to this meeting." stated Emory. "So this'll cheer her up, I'm sure." she added, before the window shimmered briefly before she announced herself. "Hey-"
However, the surprise gave the Queen a fright as she gasped out, fell out of bed, and out of view with a thud, which prompted a chuckle from Elsa and Anna, and a cringe from Emory.
"Sorry." commented Emory.
"There has to be a better way for you to announce herself than to scare me like that!" commented Queen Anna as she reemerged, sitting up and leaning over on the bed, not looking at them yet as she clutched her chest with one hand.
"Sorry, sorry." repeated Emory. "I'll try to think of a gentler way next time."
"Good, I-" started the Queen, lifting her gaze, before her statement stopped in surprise as she saw the guests with Emory, and her eyes widened, she pointed a finger at the sisters. "Y-you... their real..." she added, followed by Elsa and Anna smiling, and lifting a hand to greet her respectively.
"Hi."
"Hello! It's so nice to meet you!" declared Anna delightfully.
A small, dumbfounded chuckle left Queen Anna as she simply gave a slow, return wave of the hand. However, before she could find her voice again, a sudden knocking came from her door, and the queen reflexively looked in its direction as a mans voice asked...
"Your Majesty, what's wrong!? I heard you scream."
"O-Oh, it's nothing." replied the Queen as she stood. "I mistakenly fell out of bed. I'm fine; just embarrassed. Don't mention this to anyone."
"Oh, alright then."
"Thanks for the concern though." she added, before the faint footsteps signaled the mans departure, and the Queen cleared her throat as she collected herself, and turned her attention back to the three with a smile, which Anna happily greeted her again.
"Hi!"
"Heh, h-hi..." replied Queen Anna with a smile. "... me and... Elsa." she added. "Emory, can you move to the foot of my bed, like before?"
"Sure." replied Emory, as she view shifted to looking at the bed from the bottom, as well as the window growing to that of a doorway, allowing Queen Anna to see their full bodies and the Queen walking to sit at the foot of the bed, looking at them with a smile.
"So it's true, you exist." stated the Queen in awe.
"It's so nice to meet you!" repeated Anna delightfully, before gasping with a chuckle and giving a curtsy. "Ahem, You're Majesty, Queen Anna."
The act prompted a little chuckle from the Queen, before Elsa commented with a smile.
"The queen look suits you."
Amusingly, both Anna's answered, "Thanks", which earned a chuckle from all four, before Queen Anna looked to Elsa and commented...
"Speaking of looks, the short hair looks nice, I like it."
"Thanks." replied Elsa with a smile as she ran a hand through her hair, before Queen Anna continued...
"... and Elsa- my Elsa, doesn't wear that version of her dress anymore. It's nice to see again."
"So where's your Elsa?" asked Anna, to which Queen Anna rolls her eyes, and answers dismissively...
"Ugh, don't know, don't care."
The apparent annoyed remark and tone, prompts confusion on the sisters faces, which the Queen notices and quickly added...
"Ahem, sorry about that. Elsa's somewhere in the castle. I just don't know where at the moment."
The addition causes Elsa and Anna to share a brief glance, before Elsa asked...
"Are you two having a fight?"
"That's not important." answered Queen Anna, waving off Elsa's concern. "What it, is the incredible fact that I'm meeting you two; so let's stick with that."
"Oh, ok. Well..." replied Anna, as her smile returned. "I have a question! How shocked were you when you realized you were going to be queen?"
"Hehehe, Honestly? Very." answered Queen Anna with a smile. "It was so sudden, and I had doubts I could do it. Elsa encouraged me that I could, though, and still offers advice occasionally. She didn't just dump the role onto me and leave."
"That's good." commented Elsa.
"My Elsa told me you two had your own Enchanted Forest adventure, but you both still live in Arendelle." stated Queen Anna.
"Yeah." answered Anna. "Emory stays with the Northuldra." she added, placing a hand to Emory's shoulder.
"So does that mean the Elsa there isn't the Fifth Spirit?"
"Heh, technically, I am." replied Elsa with a smirk, and her hands on her hips as she looked to Emory, who simply chuckled. "But I don't go by that title."
"Oh, ok then." replied Queen Anna, before she turned her attention to Anna with a smile. "I have a question for me that I'm really excited about. My Elsa told me that you have magic; Do you mind showing me a little of it?"
"Not at all!" answered Anna happily, before she lifted her right hand, palm up, and produced a baseball-sized ball of fire, which Queen Anna marvels at, eyes wide and mouth agape as she stood, and walked up to the doorway, and Anna even stepped forward to give the Queen a closer look.
"Wow..." gasped Queen Anna. "I can even feel it from here."
"Really?" asked Elsa, before Emory chimed in...
"Of course she can, for us to communicate like this, it's a portal."
"Oh..." replied both Anna's, before Anna pulled her hand back out of concern for the Queens safety, who asked...
"So, I could walk through to where you three are right now?"
"You sure could." answered Emory.
"Well, I'll pass on that right now; this is our first meeting after all." stated Queen Anna. "But, could I shake my hand?" she asked.
"Sure." replied Anna, before she dispersed her fire, and reached her hand into the portal, stopping in the middle, which the queen looks at for a moment with a smile, before she lifted her right hand to take Anna's, and they both shake hands.
"Heh, wow... I'm shaking the hand of a me in a different reality."
"How weird is that, right?" asked Anna with a smile.
"Hehe, yeah." replied Queen Anna, before Elsa chuckled and commented...
"It's weird from here too."
What briefly followed next was an amusing scene for Elsa and Emory, the two Anna's next comment nearly matched as they spoke at once.
"It's like I have a twin sister."
"It's like I have another sister."
The two chuckle, and then spoke the same phrase...
"We nearly said the same thing."
Following a gasp, they both spoke again.
"Jinx!"
"Jinx again!"
Elsa and Emory chuckle as the two Anna's stared at each other with a smile for a few moments, released their hands, before both declared...
"Chocolate!"
"Whoooaaa!"
"Olaf!"
"Kristof!"
"Elsa!"
"Dang." replied Queen with a snap of her fingers.
"We lost it." added Anna with a smile.
"That was fun though."
"Yeah, it was." replied Anna.
"Can I see your magic again?" asked Queen Anna.
"Sure." replied Anna as she repeated the display, and the queen stared with awe again. Elsa, watching the Queen's reaction, smiled as the childhood memory of herself and Anna, displaying her magic to Anna, came to her. The Queen had a very similar expression she remembered Anna having as a kid.
"Wow... How do you have magic?"
"I was born with it, like Elsa." answered Anna. "But Mother and Father saw my fire magic as too dangerous at the time. I was a baby when my powers first manifested, so they went to the trolls to have my magic sealed. Later on, when I froze saving Elsa from Hans, my magic was unsealed and protected me long enough for my act of true love to thaw me."
"Wow... that's incredible! From what my Elsa has told me, you can do other things, like detect lies."
"Yep, I can also fly and make glass, which I can use to make clothes and stuff." answered Anna, prompted a gasp from the Queen.
"Fly!? You can fly!?"
"Yep, Elsa can too." answered Anna, before she disperses her fire. "I wasn't planning on using much of my magic today though, so that's why I'm wearing regular clothing. Some other things I can do makes a lot of heat, and I've burned my clothes to ashes more than I'd like to admit. So I save the intensive stuff like flying for when I'm wearing my glass clothing."
"Wow..." gasped Queen Anna in awe. "Well, my Elsa also told me you revived your parents." she added, which prompted a nervous chuckle from Anna.
"Oh... heh, yea... I did. That's a secret though. I can heal too, but the other one is a secret."
"Oh, ok then. I won't tell anyone." replied Queen Anna, before she briefly averted her gaze in apparent nervousness, before adding, "So, my Elsa also told me that she met your mother... what are the chances that I could as well? I-I know she's not my mother and you have no reason to-"
"It's ok." interrupts Elsa gently with a smile. "We don't mind introducing you. Our mother is here with her family." she added, which prompts a confused look on the Queen's face.
"Her family? You have living relatives on your mothers side?"
"Yeah, don't you?" asked Anna.
"No, our mother was an only child and her parents were killed in the fighting between her people and Arendelle."
"Oh, I'm sorry." replied Elsa and Anna.
"What relatives do you have?" asked Queen Anna with clear interest, and Anna answered...
"Well, our mother has a twin sister, Magna."
"Oh, an aunt!?" gasped the queen delightfully.
"Yep." answered Anna. "... and our Aunt has two children, so we have cousins, Honeymaren and Ryder." she added, which clearly took the queen by surprise.
"Wait, Honeymaren and Ryder are your COUSINS there?"
"Yep."
"Well, that's certainly interesting." stated the Queen with a smile. "They exist here too, but they're not related to us." she added, before Elsa also added...
"We also have a grandmother."
"That's amazing! I'm actually jealous. I won't ask to meet your extended family though, I'll gladly take meeting your mother."
"Ok." replied Elsa. "I'll go see if she's willing to meet you." she added, and turned to leave, prompting the queen to stutter out...
"N-Now? You don't have to do that."
"It's alright." replied Elsa turn around with a smile. "It won't take me five minutes." she added, before turning around, extending her left hand out, and creating a portal after a few moments, which brought wide-eyed amazement to the Queen, as Elsa entered and it closed behind her
"Whooooaaaa!"
"Heh, yeah..." replied Anna proudly. "It's a new trick we learned. Well, I learned it yesterday, and I Elsa today."
"So you two can do what Emory's doing?" asked the Queen.
"Oh, no, no, hehe." replied Anna. "We can only create portals within our own reality... I think, anyway, and only to places we've been, which isn't a lot right now, but it's places that matter, and it saves a bunch of time."
"Wow, you two are amazing." commented Queen Anna, which Anna only smiled at. "So, since Ahtohallan is a person where you are, what's your relationship like with her?"
"It's good." answered Anna, looking at Emory with a smile, who smiled back. "It started off pretty rocky, though."
"Yeah..." added Emory. "I was trapped in that castle for thousands of years, and I wanted freedom, so I took advantage of the fighting between the Northuldra and Arendelle to pressure Iduna into an agreement when she was a child that eventually lead to where we are now."
"Wow..."
"Heh, yeah..." replied Anna. "We had a pretty intense adventure. Fighting Gale, Bruni and Nokk; oh man, especially Nokk. Both of us nearly died, and without my magic, Elsa would have."
"Geez, so you both fought the spirits?" asked Queen Anna.
"Yep. Well, Bruni and Nokk; I didn't fight Gale, and the Earth Giant was sleeping at the time."
"Giant?" asked Queen Anna. "Just one?"
"Yeah, his name's Mou'tan."
"Huh, we have multiple Earth Giants here." stated Queen Anna.
"Oh, really?"
"Yeah, but they mostly just lay around sleeping."
"Mou'tan's like that too; he just likes to sleep." replied Anna.
"So, you were with Elsa for the whole trip? Even at Ahtohallan- or rather, the ice castle?" asked Queen Anna.
"Yep."
"My Elsa went alone and ended up freezing... What about the dam?" Asked the Queen.
"It's still standing." answered Anna. "Your Elsa mentioned it's no longer there for you. What happened? Emory said the water from it would reach Arendelle, at least, in our reality."
"I ended up getting the giants-" answered the Queen, before shortly after, saw the formation of an icy door behind Anna and Emory, who heard the sound of Elsa's magic behind them, and looked back to see the icy door forming a couple yards away.
Following, the door briefly glows, before cracking and ice shards propelling from it about a yard, which prompted a flinch from Emory and briefly shielding her face with her arms, earning a chuckle from Anna as the shards didn't reach them as they hung in the air before dispersing.
"They don't go far." commented Anna with a smirk, which Emory returned silently as she lowered her arms.
While Anna enjoyed Emory's little scare, Queen Anna looked at the opening portal with anticipation as the glow faded, and she saw Elsa return through the portal, along with another person, Iduna.
"Welcome back." greets Anna, which Elsa simply smiles in return, before Iduna greeted them.
"Hey you two." before she noticed the portal leading to Queen Anna, who simply stood there, nervously fiddling with her hands, staring at Iduna, who smiled and walked up to the Queen. "Hello."
The Queen was clearly at a loss for words; her mouth moved in an attempt to speak, but nothing came out as she simply stared; the others simply watched, and waited for the queen's shock and awe to fade.
Soon, tears began to trail from the Queen's eyes as she smiled, and started to find her voice again...
"I-It's... r-really you... you're alive."
"I certainly am." replied Iduna, as she reached out her arms for a hug, which The Queen starts to step forward, but hesitates as her gaze turns to Elsa and Anna, which Elsa smiles and states...
"Go ahead."
A shuttering smile comes to the Queen's face as her attention focused on Iduna again, still waiting for her embrace, which the Queen quickly steps though the portal to tightly hug Iduna, who returns the affection.
"Mother!" cried the Queen. "It's so good to see you again!"
"It's good to see you, too." replied Iduna, rubbing the Queen's back comfortingly.
The others silently watched the emotional meeting for the Queen, seeing the tears trailing down her face. Moments into the hug, the Queen pulled away, looking at Iduna with a big smile, before she lowered her gaze as her face reddened and wiped the tears from her face.
"I'm sorry." stated Queen Anna.
"For what?" asked Iduna, before the Queen shook her head and lifted her gaze to her again with a smile.
"I should've have called you Mother; I just-"
"I understand." commented Iduna with a smile and offering her hands to the queen, who takes Iduna's hands. "I don't mind."
"Thank you, but, I don't want to make this more complicated for myself." replied Queen Anna. "You look like my Mother, but you're not my real mother. I can't selfishly put that responsibility on your shoulders. It's gonna be weird for me, and maybe you too, but can I call you Iduna?"
"Heh, that will be weird." commented Iduna. "If that makes it easier for you, though, I'll accept."
"Thank you, mo- uh, Iduna." replied Queen Anna, before chuckling. "Wow, that's weird using your actual name." she added, which only earned her a chuckle from Iduna, before the Queen look to Elsa and Anna and commented, "Thank you two for allowing me this meeting; you too, Emory.
"You're welcome." replied all three, which caused them to giggle, before the Queen returned her gaze to Iduna.
"Even if this is as far as I'm allowed in visiting, I'm so happy I could meet and talk to you, mot-ngh, Iduna."
"Heh, me too." replied Iduna, lightly chuckling at the Queen's habit of referring to her as mother. "Not everyday I get to meet different versions of my daughters. Where's your Elsa?"
"Somewhere in the castle." answered Queen Anna. "I don't know where. Would you like to meet her? I can have someone go find her."
"No, no, it's fine, we've already met, maybe next time both of you will be here, or maybe you'd meet Agnarr next."
"I'd like that." replied the Queen.
"Well then..." stated Iduna with a smile, before she lifted the Queen's right hand held in her left, pointing out the ring on her finger. "If you don't mind me asking, whose the lucky guy, or girl?" she asked, which prompted an embarrassed groan from Elsa, who placed a hand over her face, and muttered...
"Mother..."
The question, however, prompted a chuckle from the Queen.
"Girl?" questioned the Queen in amusement. "No, no, no, I like guys. I'm married to Kristoff."
"Ohh, the Ice Harvester?" asked Iduna. "Oh, or rather, Arendelle's Official Ice Master and Deliverer."
"Hehe... yep, he's been promoted to Lord Kristoff now, though." replied Queen Anna with a smile. "So there's a Kristoff here, too?" she added, before looking to Anna, who immediately looked nervous from the obvious assumption from her Queen self, and quickly commented...
"Yeah, but we're not engaged; we're just friends."
"Oh." replied Queen Anna with intrigue, while Iduna, released the Queen's hands, stood to her left, and smiled at her daughters, who gave an annoyed smile back. "That's interesting." added Queen Anna. "I didn't say anything before, but when we shook hands, I noticed your wearing a ring."
"Y-Yeah..." replied Anna with a nervous smile as she moved her right hand behind her back, while the Queen smirks at Anna's nervous body language.
"Why do you look so nervous? Whose the lucky guy?"
"Well..." started Anna, averting her gaze.
However, rather than Iduna, it was Elsa who chimed in with a grin...
"It's not a guy."
"Elsa!" gasped Anna, prompting a chuckle from Elsa, before the Queen gasped as well as her eyes widened.
"Oh... O-Oh... you like women?" she asked, following Anna scowling at Elsa, she turned her attention to the queen and answered following a sigh...
"I have a girlfriend, yes."
"Weird..." commented Queen Anna, before gasping and adding, "N-Not that YOU'RE weird! I just didn't expect that. Who is it?"
"That's not information I'm willing to share." answered Anna.
"Oh, ok. I'll respect that." replied Queen Anna, "We just met after all, and this may be a sensitive subject." she added, before Iduna commented...
"I was shocked when I found out. I respect her choice, though, don't necessarily agree, but I won't fight her on it."
"Well, that's considerate of you."
"And her flustered face is cute too, huh?" asked Iduna, which prompted an agreeing chuckle from the Queen.
Meanwhile, Anna glared at Elsa, considering whether to expose Elsa liking women as well, but also thought that reveal would likely lead Queen Anna down a line of questions about the continued future of Arendelle, and that was not a discussion she wanted to have with her other self, especially for their first meeting.
"So Elsa..." commented Queen Anna. "What do you think of Anna liking girls?"
"I approve." answered Elsa with a smile, and draping her arm over Anna's shoulders. "Her girlfriend is very pretty, and makes her happy, so I'm happy." she added, prompting a smirk from Iduna and Emory, who raised a curious eye at the remark.
"Well, that's sweet." replied Queen Anna. "I'm personally not into other women, so it's interesting to meet a version of me who is. Are you..." she added, looking at Anna, before hesitating and shaking her head. "Nevermind, I won't pry." she stated, prompting Anna to smirk at Elsa before she looked to the queen with a smile.
"I'll just say that my girlfriend makes me happy, take that as you like."
"Got it." replied Queen Anna with a smile, before turning her attention to Elsa again. "Do you have anyone?"
"Maybe." answered Elsa.
"Heh, ok then." stated Queen Anna, before she stepped back into her own reality. "Well, I don't want to take up too much more of your time, and I have things that need attending to. I really enjoyed this meeting, though, and the opportunity to meet your mother." added Queen Anna, looking to Iduna, who had joined Anna's side and lifted a hand to wave good-bye.
"I enjoyed our little meeting too."
"Me too!" added Anna delightfully. "I get to met a Queen Me!"
"Me three." added Elsa as well with a smile.
"Me Fourth!" chimed in Emory, prompting a brief chuckle from the group, before the Queen commented.
"Even if this is the extent of what I'm allowed, I'm grateful for this."
"You'll be able to visit more in the future." stated Elsa. "Maybe not too soon though, I just want to be cautious and meet like this a few times before we invite you to Arendelle."
"Completely understandable." replied Queen Anna. "No rush here."
"Thanks for understanding."
"Well then..." stated Queen Anna with a smile, as she looked at the group for a moment, Iduna specifically, before she lifted and waved a hand in farewell. "I'll see you all later."
Following a returning round of farewells from the group, Emory directed her right hand towards the portal and closed it.
"That was awesome!" declared Anna delightfully.
"Heh, it sure was." replied Elsa. "You two were still pretty similar."
"Yeah, but it was pretty embarrassing telling her I had a girlfriend, Mother." stated Anna, as she eyed Iduna with a smirk, who chuckled.
"I just wanted to see how you two would react." commented Iduna. "I wonder how she'd react knowing who your girlfriends actually are." she added, before Emory asked...
"So they told you?"
"Yep." answered Iduna. "I've known for awhile, and the first time I encountered them after finding out, I enjoyed their flustered excuses so much that I kept it to myself, and figured I'd poke and tease. Apparently I poked a little too hard this morning and Anna became suspicious and confronted me."
"Oh, nice." replied Emory, looking to the sisters, "I bet that's a weight off your shoulders."
"It is." answered Elsa and Anna.
- 6:08 P.M. -
- Arendelle, Courtyard -
"Well, that was a bit more eventful than I expected." commented Elsa as she and Anna walked through Elsa's portal into the Castle's Courtyard.
"Yeah, I finally got to meet my double!" declared Anna excitedly. "It was so awesome and weird, and awesome!"
"Heh, you said awesome twice." pointed out Elsa.
"I'll say it a third time, it was awesome!" repeated Anna, prompting a chuckle from Elsa, before she closed her portal, and the two began walking towards the castle, before Anna stopped with a small gasp. "Oh, I need to see if one of the people in town will let me examine a wheelchair before it gets too late."
"You could just wait until tomorrow." commented Elsa.
"I know, but I at least want to examine a wheelchair, then I'll practice making one tomorrow."
"Alright then." replied Elsa with a smile. "I'll see you later."
"Ok, I won't be long." stated Anna, before she headed towards the gates, leaving Elsa to continue home.
Nearing the steps of the castle, however, Elsa noticed something to her left, at the right side of the chapel that piqued her curiosity. What looked to be Cassandra and her Father, their backs to her as they stood in front of what looked to be a portal and what appeared to be a person on the other end, but distance made it hard to make out. Curious, Elsa headed towards them.
Within a few yards, Elsa was able to determine that Cassandra and her father were talking to someone, a bearded man who looked to be royalty given his attire.
'It looks like Corona's colors.' thought Elsa, as she continued her approach, before the stranger noticed Elsa.
"You two have a guest approaching." commented the man to Cassandra and Agnarr, whom looked back to see Elsa, prompting a smile from Agnarr.
"Ah, Elsa your back." stated Agnarr. "Where's Anna?"
"She went into town to find a wheelchair." answered Elsa, prompting a curious look on Agnarr's face and Elsa chuckled before adding, "I'll fill you in later. Who are you two talking to?" she asked as she walked up behind them, not quite between them, though Cassandra was to her left and Agnarr to her right.
"Ah right, you haven't met." commented Agnarr, "Elsa, this is King Frederic; Frederic, this is my daughter, Queen Elsa."
"Oh!" gasped Elsa with a smile. "Rapunzel's father and your friend. Hello sir." she added, with a slight bow of her head
"It's nice to finally meet you, Your Majesty." greeted the King, returning the respectful head bow.
"Same here." replied Elsa. "This portal magic is making things so much more convenient."
"It sure is." stated the King. "My daughter and Cassandra told me about the return of your parents, and I was delighted chat with your father, and catch up on things."
"Well, I'm happy you two were able to reunite." Stated Elsa. "I hope my mother and your Queen will meet in the future too."
"I'd welcome that."
"Speaking of your mother..." stated Agnarr. "I assume everything went ok?"
"Yep, no problems at all. Although as a bonus, we did get the opportunity to meet the other Anna."
"Oh, heh, well that's a disappointment. That's twice now I've missed an opportunity like that."
"Hehe, it'll happen in the future." replied Elsa. "Anyway, I'll leave you two to chat; it was nice to meet you, Sir."
"You too." stated King Frederic, lifting hand hand to wave good-bye; however, Agnarr commented to Elsa.
"We were just about to say our good-bye's when you came."
"Oh, sorry about that then."
"That's ok." replied Agnarr, before Elsa briefly averted her gaze in thought before a smile came to her face.
"Hey, has Cassandra taken you to Corona?"
"Nope." answered Cassandra. "I was in Corona, and noticed the King had some free time, and asked if he'd like to meet your father, if he had some free time too, he did, and here we are."
"Oh, then why don't you visit Father?" suggested Elsa. "I'm back now, so you don't need to worry about leaving Arendelle unattended."
"Hmm... while I would like to, it's getting late." replied Agnarr.
"That's not a problem." commented Elsa. "Cassandra can have you back in less than a second." she added, before Cassandra chimed in...
"Plus, I can leave and let you two talk in private, and someone can come get me when you're ready to return."
"I'd welcome a brief visit from you, Agnarr." commented King Frederic delightfully. "Arianna would love to see you too."
"Heh, alright then." replied Agnarr with a smile. "Perhaps an hour."
"Great! Come on over." replied the King as he stepped aside and offered his hand to welcome Agnarr, who looked to Elsa and commented...
"I'll see you and Anna in an hour."
"Alright, have fun." replied Elsa, which prompted a chuckle from Agnarr, before he stepped through the portal and King Frederic draped his arm over Agnarr's shoulders in a friendly embrace as they walked away, chatting, while Cassandra entered the portal as well, giving a farewell wave of the hand.
"See ya later, Elsa."
"See ya." repeated Elsa, waving good-bye as well, before the portal closed, leaving Elsa with a smile on her face, before she resumed her walk towards the castle.
- Thirty minutes later, Elsa's Room -
Sitting at her desk, Elsa currently reads through a document, before the curious sound of a wheeled tray moving down the hall outside her door is heard. Normally, Elsa wouldn't have thought anything of it, just someone moving something from one place to another; what caught her curiosity, though, was the amount of sound produced, particularly, the rattling, and it sounded large.
It was one of two things; the tray needed maintenance, or it wasn't a tray at all. Elsa wasn't so curious to get up and find out though, but what ever it was neared her door and curiously, stopped at her door, prompting Elsa to look back a her door. Following a knocking at her door, the person outside was revealed to be Anna.
"Hey Elsa, you in there?"
"Yeah." answered Elsa. "Sounds like you brought something big with you."
"Heh, well, yeah... come check it out." replied Anna, rather proudly.
"Alright." stated Elsa with a smile as she stood, and headed to her door and opened it.
Elsa didn't know what to expect to see, but what she saw was still a surprise, a wheelchair.
"W-What the... did you seriously take someones chair?"
"I didn't 'take' it." replied Anna. "It was offered. A family had one, and I told them I'd like to examine it to make one with my magic, and since they no longer had a use for it, they said I could borrow it, and examine it on my own time. So I accepted the generous offer, and brought the chair back myself."
"Well, that's kind of them. But if there letting you borrow it-
"I know, I asked that too." interrupted Anna. "They said the chair isn't in the best condition; the wheels are uneven and stick a bit, and the wood needs sanding; nearly got a nasty splinter bringing it back. It's fine for just sitting in, but sitting in, and moving around is a bit iffy, especially for an older person."
"Ah, I see. So better to just examine it and make a replica."
"Yep, the original idea's still going forward." replied Anna. "Plus, I'll be able to make changes if it needs any."
"Well, since you have it here, maybe I'll look it over too. Never really examined how they function. Could be useful having the option."
"Yeah. Some people may not want to ride a flying sheet of ice, and prefer something more familiar." stated Anna with a smile.
"Very good point. Well, I'll let you go study the chair." replied Elsa.
"Alright. I'll see you at bed time." stated Anna as she began to push the wheelchair, before Elsa quickly added...
"Oh, by the way; In case you happen to be looking for Father, he's in Corona right now."
"Really?" asked Anna, stopping and looking back to Elsa.
"Yeah, when you left earlier to get the chair, I met up with Cassandra and Father, and they were talking to Rapunzel's father. I suggested Father could spend some time with his friend since I had returned. He said he'd return in a hour, and I think it's been about thirty minutes, so he should be back soon."
"Oh, alright then, thanks for letting me know."
