Olaf, Phillip, and Mandevu's Frozen Adventure

Chapter 2

Kristoff and Olaf searched the stairs of the tower and inside the storage space, but the Yule Bell's missing piece was nowhere to be found.  They would have to find some way to replace it.  Olaf had all kinds of ideas.  He tried hanging various items inside the bell—his nose, a twig arm, and even one of his coals.  Once Kristoff explained the piece needed to be metal, Olaf tried using a spoon, but that didn't work, either.  

Finally, the two headed over to the castle to share the news with Anna and Elsa.  Kristoff shuffled his feet as he and Olaf stood outside the castle door, hesitating.  He didn't want to let the sisters down.  

"I think I should probably do the talking," whispered Kristoff.  "Okay?"  

Olaf nodded in agreement.  Kristoff put his hands on the door, about to push it open, but Anna came rushing out and nearly bumped into him!  

"Oh, hey there!" said Anna.  "Wow. Just the guys I wanted to see."  

Kristoff smiled.  "Oh, you were looking for us?  Ha, ha.  Funny."  He forced a nervous laugh. "Because we were looking for you."  

Anna smiled.  "Let me go first," she said.  She had a surprise for them, and she couldn't keep it any longer.  "Where's Sven?"  

Eventually, they found Sven in the courtyard.  Anna asked Kristoff, Olaf, and Sven to close their eyes.  

"Okay, here we come," called Anna.  "No peeking!"  

Elsa came into the courtyard, leading Phillip by the hand and followed by Mandevu.  She and Anna were carrying large boxes.  After a few moments, they shouted, "Surprise!"  

Kristoff, Olaf, and Sven opened their eyes to see the sisters holding up clothing.  

"For the holiday celebration!" Anna said proudly.  

"We wanted to thank you for all your help with the planning," said Elsa.  

"And commend your excellent secret-keeping skills," added Anna, with a wink at Olaf.  

"This is for Sven," said Elsa, showing off a green velvet blanket embroidered with sparkling gold details.  The reindeer clomped his hooves against the cobblestone and gave an approving snort.   Then Elsa showed another blanket of blue velvet with the same golden details.  "And this is for you, Mandevu," she said, and draped the blanket over the lion's back.  

"And this one is for you," said Anna, facing Kristoff.  She revealed a beautiful suit—black pants, a blue coat, and a vest with shiny gold buttons.  In her other hand was a new pair of shoes.  

Kristoff was touched.  He had never worn anything so fancy before.  "Wow," he said, examining the fine fabrics.  

"And this one is for Phillip," said Elsa, showing the wizard his suit—similar colors to Kristoff with the addition of a black velvet hat and a blue flowing cape decorated with lions and snowflakes.  A big smile beamed over Phillip's face and he could not thank Elsa enough.  

"And this is for you, Olaf," said Elsa.  She held up a bright green bow tie.  She was pretty sure Olaf would lose it, but Anna had said he would appreciate it anyway.  

"I love it!" shouted Olaf.  He leaned over to Kristoff and whispered, "What is that thing?"  

Hearing Olaf's confusion, Elsa laughed.  "It's a bow tie," she explained.  "Something worn for special occasions."  She secured it around Olaf's neck, checking the size.  It fit!  

"Thank you," he said.  The edges of the tie tickled his neck, making him giggle.  

Kristoff touched the shimmering buttons on his new vest.  "These are great," he said sincerely.  
Phillip admired his suit as well.  "I agree with Kristoff," he nodded.
