Frozen retold

No more hiding

The royal church was packed full of people as the coronation ceremony began. A choir sang while the royal procession walked down the long center aisle. The bishop led the way, followed by Elsa, looking regal and serious, and finally Anna, holding the train of Elsa's dress.

At the altar, Elsa faced the bishop while Anna faced Elsa. The bishop held a read satin cushion, which held the royal crown, scepter, and orb.

Peeking over her shoulder, Anna recognized only a few people in the crowd, her cousin was supposed to be here somewhere as well, Anna had only heard about her from letter they received, in fact Anna's parents where headed to her kingdom to attend her wedding, they hadn't gotten to see her since she had been taken in the night when she was a baby, she was the reason the king and queen doubled the guards. The only other person she recognized was handsome prince Hans. He sat up right and tall, as a stranger was asleep on his shoulder! Hans waved at Anna, who couldn't help but let out a little giggle.

The bishop placed the crown on Elsa's head. Then he turned for the scepter and orb and presented them to Elsa. She reached for the royal items, when the bishop cleared his throat. "Ahem. Your gloves, your majesty."

Elsa took a sharp breath. If she took her gloves off, she might accidently let out her powers. She hesitated but then proceeded by taking them off slowly, and placed them on the cushion, her face growing ale with worry.

Anna took that moment to look over a Hans again, and smile at him. She couldn't wait to talk to him at the ball tonight.

With a deep breath Elsa took the orb and scepter into her bare hands. She turned to face the crowd.

"As the queen, and protector of this dominion," the bishop stated, "keeper of the government thereof from this day forward," Elsa could feel her hand growing colder, as ice began to trail up the objects in her hands, she continued to look forward hoping no one could notice. "I present to you Her Majesty..."

Elsa Tried desperately to control her emotions, but she was just so nervous. "... Queen Elsa of Arendelle!" the bishop finally finished.

The people in the church rose. "Queen Elsa of Arendelle!" the churched echoed.

Elsa quickly placed the orb and scepter back on the satin cushion, and shoved her gloves back on. She let out a sigh of relief, no one had noticed the ice on the orb or scepter. She smiled at the cheering people. She had made it through the ceremony!

Later, at the coronation ball, Elsa and Anna stood side by side on the small stage, where the thrown sat. Elsa felt relaxed, almost content, now that the most difficult part of her coronation was over. Festive music filled the air and the guests began to dance across the floor of the lavishly decorated ball room.

"You look beautiful," Elsa told Anna.

"Thank you," Anna said in shock. A smile spread across her face. Her sister was actually speaking to her!

"You look beautiful-er," Anna replied, then realized how odd that sounded and blurt out an explanation, "Not that you look fuller. No. Just that you look more beautiful!"

Elsa grinned. "Thank you," Then she looked out at the dancing crowd, "So, this is what a party looks like?"

Anna nodded, "It's warmer than I thought."

"All the people I guess," Elsa said, "And what is that amazing smell?"

Both of them caught a whiff of the delightful small, drifting from across the room. "Mmmmmm, Chocolate!" they exclaimed at the same time. Then they looked at each other and started laughing.

Anna could hardly believe that Elsa was treating her so kindly. She was about to say more to her sister, but got interrupted by a guest getting ready to be presented to the Queen and the princess. "The Duke of Weasletown," a royal attendant announced.
