The Prince and his Guard

The new Teddy!

(Emil's p.o.v)

I rushed into Anna's room to show her what I was wearing, only for her to be folding her newly washed clothes as well as mine.
'I wish she would take a break from doing her job and just enjoy this year.'
"Anna! Look at what I'm wearing!" I told making her look towards me and gave a confused look.
"May I ask?"
"Well as you know, Teddy doesn't want to participate in the bowling tournament so he can focus on creating robots." I began as she slowly nodded.
"Uh huh."
"So, me and Regina thought it would be a win win if I took over for Teddy. That way I have something to help distract me with our homesickness and Teddy can focus on his robots."
"How do you not know if I wanted to take over for Teddy?" She asked making me panic.
"Did you?! I will inform Regina and you can take my place." I told as I began to take the shirt off making Anna quickly stop me as she laughed.
"Emil. Emil! I was just joking."
"Your jokes always allude me." I told smiling back at her as I let go of my shirt.
"Surprisingly seeing you do more commoner things has helped with my homesickness." She told making me smile more.
"And you should stop folding my clothes. That's not needed while we are here for the year." I explained.
"It helps somehow." She told.
"Just try and not be so much my guard, and just be more living our life of our age."
"I'll try." She told making me smile.
"That's all I hope for."
'She is truely wonderful.'
Soon Regina came rushed in and gave a smile towards us as we smiled back.
"I see you gave Ann the news."
"I did." I excitedly told.
"I will cheer you both on from the side lines." Anna stated.
"Well, it's nearly time. So we should go inform Teddy on the news." She told making us head to the room I shared with him.

I opened the door to our room to reveal Teddy looking confused, before looking towards us, while the three of us were smiling.
"Look." I told pointing to the shirt as we rushed in excited. "I am the new Teddy."
"You're what?" Teddy questioned.
"He said he is the new Teddy." Anna stated making me nod while Regina placed an arm around my shoulders.
"We knew how stressed out you were about your projects. So, Emil stepped in, volunteered to be my partner, you're off the hook." Regina explained to help him not be confused.
"But I was going to make it work." He admitted.
"Well now you don't have to. You can focus on your project, and Emil and Ann will have something so they don't feel so homesick." She explained as she went and gave his arm a reassuring squeeze.
"It's a win, win... win." I added smiling.
"It will also help you stress less if you have less to do." Anna stated reminding me all the times back home I've had to help destress her.
"So true. Anna knows all about stress." I added making Regina give us a confused look.
"I didn't think being the daughter of a moose farmer was stressful." She told making us realise we needed to cover up.
"It can become stressful when they somehow escape." Anna quickly told.
"You always think they can't get out and then they do."
"That does seem stressful." Regina told.
'Thank goodness, she believed that.'
"Let us go, partner." I told to help her forget our cover up.
"You got it, partner." She told and I offered to do our handshake which she agreed to. "Oh, yeah."
We did the handshake and kept track of how many parts there was until we reached the end of it.
"Strike!" We both exclaimed.
Regina left the room first before I followed after, of course not before I jumped and hit my heels together causing Anna to laugh as I took her hand so I knew she was right behind me like usual.
'I always enjoy when she laughs.'
