Choo

Part 1

One July night, the ballroom in the castle in Arendelle was packed with people, and for good reason.  A ball was being held, in honor of Queen Elsa's twenty-second birthday.  As she stood in the back of the room, Elsa suddenly saw her sister, Princess Anna, rushing up to her.  "Well!  I've barely seen you all night!" said Elsa as Anna got close.

"Sorry!" said Anna.  "I was talking to some people, and then I saw the desert table, and...  Well, never mind.  Anyway, um...  What did you need?"

"You...  came to see me," said Elsa.

"Oh!  Right!" said Anna.  "So, um...  Are you cold?"

"Anna, what's going on?" said Elsa.  "You know I don't get cold."

"Are you sure?" said Anna.

"Yes," said Elsa, "I..."

Just then, she felt a numbing chill go down her spine!  Elsa spun around!  As she did, she felt a cold pair of lips press against her own!  She pulled away from the kiss to see her boyfriend, Jack Frost, hovering upside down in front of her!  "Well, good evening, birthday girl!" said Jack, spinning around to his feet.

Elsa giggled.  "Hi, Jack," she said.  "What took you so long?  I was starting to think you weren't coming."

"Sorry," said Jack.  "Guardian stuff.  But there is no way I wouldn't come to see my Snowflake on her birthday."  He pulled her into his arms, and hugged her tightly.

"Aw!" said Anna.  She smiled at the couple, then went off to get another piece of cake.

As they talked about their day, Elsa suddenly felt a tickle in her nose.  She felt like she was going to sneeze, but Jack quickly pinched her nose.  "I gotcha, Snowflake," he said.

"Thank you," said Elsa with a smile.  But a moment later, the feeling rushed back to her!  She quickly put a hand up to stifle the sound.  The sneeze wasn't nearly as big as either had expected.  "Well, that feels better," she said.

As he looked at her, Jack started to laugh.  "What's so funny?" asked Elsa.

Jack tried to catch his breath.  "Elsa...  There's a...  on your..." he said, but broke into laughter again.

"Jack," said Elsa, "what are you..."

Suddenly, she saw a small pair of black eyes looking down at her!  Elsa looked up to find there was  a snowgie on her head!   She gave a giggle.  "Well, hello there!"  She put up a hand, and brought the tiny snowman down from her head.

Jack smiled as he looked down at the little snowgie.  "Aw!" he said.  "He's cute!"

"He is, isn't he?" said Elsa.  She put out a finger, and tickled his belly.  The snowgie gave a big smile.  Elsa giggled.  "Here you go," she said, and put him on her shoulder.  "We'll take him up to the palace in the morning," she told Jack.

"Yeah, good idea," said Jack.  He looked at the little snowman.  He had moved in close, and started cuddling Elsa's cheek.  "Oh, look at that!  He knows his mommy!"

Elsa looked down at him and smiled warmly.  "You're a good, little one, aren't you?" she said.

"We've gotta name him!" said Jack.

"Jack, no," said Elsa.  "If you name him, you'll get attached to him, and then..."

"Oh, come on, Snowflake, don't have a frozen heart!" said Jack.  "Look at him!  He loves you!"

Elsa looked down into the little face on her shoulder.  The snowgie looked at her with an expression that seemed to say, "Please, Mommy!"

Elsa sighed.  How could she say no to a face like that?  "Fine," she said to Jack.  "What do you propose we call him?"

Jack thought for a minute.  "What about...  Choo?" he said.

"'Choo'?" said Elsa.

"Yeah," said Jack.  "He didn't really come from a full sneeze, just a little...  choo."

Elsa laughed.  "Alright," she said.  She turned to the snowgie, and spoke in a regal tone.  "I, Queen Elsa of Arendelle, hereby name you Choo."

Choo jumped to his feet, and let out a little squeak.  Elsa and Jack smiled.  "So, that's what they sound like!" said Jack.  Elsa just smiled, and gave Choo a little pat on the head.
