Frozen: The Untold Story

The Afterparty

Chapter 4
The Afterparty
(Anna's PoV)

I stand in the back of the room while everyone crowds around Elsa. I'm not the best at making friends since Elsa closed all the gates and I haven't talked to anyone but our servants since.

I look over at Elsa. She seems calm when she talks but there is a lot of tension in her shoulders. She must be nervous. How could she not be nervous? I would be nervous? Who wouldn't be? I mean, it's only the day she will be crowned Queen of Arendelle.

I jolt out of my little conversation with myself when someone bumps into me. "Hey!" I say as I turn to see a handsome boy looking at me.

"I'm so sorry, my lady," he says.

I just stare at him. Then I realize how awkward I must be and say, "Oh, no. It's fine. Um... My names Anna. Princess Anna."

"Princess Anna!" he gasped and bowed, "I am deeply sorry for bumping into you."

"It's alright," I tell him, "if you had bumped into my sister Elsa it would have been, 'Yeesh!' but it's just me."

"Just you?" he asked as if I were at all important. "Oh! My name is Prince Hans of the Southern Isles."

"Well, it's nice to meet you, Prince Hans."

"Please," he said, "call me Hans."

"Alright, Hans," I smiled at him. Some one called his name from across the room and he said, "I hope I will see you again later."

"Me too." I reply as he walks off. Then I think to myself, wow, that's the first boy I've met in years and I handled it pretty good.

(Elsa's PoV)
Too many questions. "Where have you been?" "How are you going to rule your kingdom?" "What made you close the gates?"

All questions I can't answer. Whatever happened to my privacy? I'm about to tell them my answer when someone announces that the coronation will begin soon.

In a rush of people I'm swept away and taken to the room where I will be crowned.

(Anna's PoV)
I rush over to the platform beside Elsa. Looking into the audience I see Hans. I quickly smile and wave and he waves back. Then the Priest starts the ceremony.

(Elsa's PoV)
I could cry. Why do I have to do this? I lean over as the priest puts the diamond crown on my head. I grab the golden staff and the little gold box then turn to the audience of dignitaries. The tears nearly come through but I hold them back. The priest finishes saying the coronation words and I put the objects down.
============
The party is average. Though, through my eyes, all I see is a bunch of murderers killing me with words. Anna stands beside me. I decide to get rid of the tension between us by saying, "Hi."

She just looks at me like I'm crazy. "Oh," she finally says, "H-hi me?" I nod and let out I light laugh.

"You look beautiful," I tell her.

"Thanks. You look beautifuller. I'm mean you're not fuller--"

"Thank you," I laugh. "So, this is a party."

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

"And what is that amazing smell?" We both smell the air than say, "Chocolate!" then laugh because we said it at the same time.

Just then an old man comes over. I recognize him as the Duke of Weselton. He says, "My lady, Queen Elsa. As your closed partner in trade I figure that it's my place to offer you your first dance as Queen."

"Oh," I gasp, "I don't dance." Then an idea comes to me. "But my sister does."

"Wait, what?" Anna says. Then the Duke drags her away.

(Anna's PoV)
"So," the Duke says, "It's nice that they've opened the gates. Any idea why they closed them in the first place?"

"Uh, no." I answer.

"Oh." Then the Dukes dips me down, spins me around, and steps on my foot several times.

I walk back over to Elsa breathless. She laughs at me and I roll my eyes at her. "Well," she says, "he was sprightly."

"Especially for a man in heels." I say back. Elsa smiles at me and I smile back. This is the first time in forever that we've actually had a connection. "I wish it could be like this all the time, I say.

"Me too," Elsa says. Then she shakes her head. "But it can't."

"But--"

"It just can't!" Elsa turns away from me. Tears start to form in my eyes. So much for the connection. I start to walk away when a huge man hits me and I begin to fall to the ground. I am almost about to hit the ground when a hand catches me. It's Hans. "Glad I caught you," he says.

"Hans," I say. Then he pulls me up and begins to waltz with me. We dance and talk all night. Until he proposed to me. (You guys can go watch a video of "Love is an Open Door" if you want)
