A Day to Remember

A Day In Arendelle

Kristoff had proposed to Anna back in Autumn, and it was now eight days before their wedding. April 15 she thought, as she woke up. The big day. Anna had been waiting for Kristoff to propose to her for what felt like forever, and it had felt like even longer to wait for until Springtime. She was so excited about the wedding, she had dreamed of getting married all of her life, from when she was just a little child. She was also excited because this meant that Elsa would be coming back from the Enchanted Forest to stay in Arendelle for the week of the wedding. She loved her sister more than anything and although Elsa was where she belongs to protect the Enchanted Forest, Anna always missed Elsa every second that she was not in Arendelle. Sure she came every week on Sunday for Church, and on every Friday for their charades and other games they would play with the whole gang, but Anna still misses Elsa. No more constant time with her sister. No more stealing chocolate from the kitchen behind Elsa's back. No more late-night snowball fights. No more cuddling or slumber parties. She missed all of that so much. But it was time to put that thought away, Elsa was staying for a whole week, which meant there would be plenty of cuddling and late not snowball fights. She was so excited about all of this. She immediately got out of bed and got dressed and ran to breakfast, sliding down the banisters when she got to the stairs.As the early morning sunlight shined through the crack of the stable door, Kristoff woke up. With Sven right next to him, he brushed the hay off of his outfit and made breakfast for him and Sven. He thought of Anna, and how she would probably be eating breakfast right now in the castle dining room. He liked cooking and did not mind the fact that he did not live in a royal lifestyle. He remembered how Anna could also live without a royal lifestyle, how she did not complain even once their trip to the mountains when Elsa had frozen everything. He laughed. At the time, it was all fear and pain. Elsa feared her powers that she could not control and feared she would hurt anyone, and she had frozen the whole kingdom. Anna had been shut out for thirteen years and when she finally talked to her for the first time in forever, Elsa had run off after freezing everything. Kristoff was all alone, except for Sven of course, and the Trolls, but he just made ice deliveries every day and did not have any human friends. As for Olaf, well he is always happy. But all of that had built the relationship between the five of them that they all loved so much. Kristoff sat down and ate. He set out a couple of carrots for Sven. After eating, Kristoff slipped on a new, hay-free outfit, slightly combed his hair with his hand, and the two left to go into the town, waiting to meet Anna in the town square near the statue of her parents at 12:00The sound of servants preparing for the day stirred up a sleeping Olaf. He blinked and looked around, waking up from that nice sleep he had last night. When he was fully woken, he cheered with joy."A new day! I got to go to meet Anna downstairs for breakfast." Olaf said. "But.. where... am I?"He looked around to see a pile of hot coals in the fireplace from last night, and the book next to him titled "101 Facts You Didn't Know About Sailboats""I must've fallen asleep in the library while is was reading last night," Olaf claimed.He brushed it off and ran down the steps into the dining hall, where Anna was standing in a light purple dress, greeting the servants for the morning. He yelped in excitement as he ran up to Anna."ANNA!" Olaf shouted as he jumped into Anna's arms."Hey, Olaf, ready for breakfast.""Yes! What are we having?" Olaf asked."Today is waffles," Anna told him."ooh. Did you know that waffles are grid shaped to prevent the batter from pouring out the sides?" He told her.They sat down and started talking as the servants brought out the waffles from the kitchen. Anna was thinking about the wedding as Olaf drenched his waffle in syrup."Hey, wyens Eylsha cyoming?" Olaf said, with his mouth full of waffles."Tomorrow! And she is staying for the whole week!" Anna said."Ooooh, I can't wait to show her the picture I drew of her." Olaf gleefully said.Anna had seen this picture before, and she could tell Olaf was no artist, but she knew that Elsa would love it and think it was cute. She laughed and imagined Elsa's surprised but happy reaction when she saw it."Your Majesty? Your majesty?" Yelena called from where Elsa was sleeping."Yes, Yelena?" She answered."You told me to wake you up as soon as I woke up at so you could feed the reindeer. You told me that you wanted to do it today, right?""Yes. And thank you. And you don't have to call me your majesty.""Well, you are the Princess of Arendelle. And these woods are Arendellian land." She stated."OK. So I just have to give them the vegetation from this bag?" She asked as Yelena gave her a large cloth bag filled with different types of grasses and weeds."Yes. Most of the time Ryder does it. He loves Reindeer and is always around them." Yelena told her.Elsa took the bag and went into the grassy area where the reindeer were. She sat down on a rock and pulled some long grass out of the bag and the reindeer approached her. She was startled at first, but then she caught herself and thrust the handful of green plants towards the reindeer that was standing in front of her. The reindeer happily grabbed it and ate it, and then he brushed his head up against Elsa's side."They love me," She thought. "I can see why Kristoff likes them so much."She laughed while she fed the other reindeer. She sat and thought about the week ahead. Tomorrow she would be going back to Arendelle and for a whole week! She was so excited about the wedding, and the blitz, and the celebration. However, she was by far the most excited to see Anna and see her for a week. She was also looking forward to being in Arendelle. It was her home, and where she grew up. She knew that she truly found her place on the Forest some time ago, but she just could not stop thinking of how much she missed Arendelle. She had spent her whole life in her room, but she had had that room remolded and repainted when she became Queen so it did not bring back any bad memories, and she moved into the room that was right next to Anna's. She missed Anna every second that they were not together, and even though she did come and see her at least twice a week, she still felt a sense of guilt about leaving her sister and her kingdom. She put it behind and decided to look forward to seeing Anna tomorrow. She picked up the empty bag, pet one of the reindeer goodbye and went out to go do her daily activities.Kristoff, now wandering the square, glanced up at the clock tower. Where was she? She was supposed to be here ten minutes ago. He looked around again, and there she was, in a peachy colored dress, and Kristoff ran up to her."You look beautiful!" Kristoff said."Thank you." She replied. "You look really good too."They talked about everything that had happened today following up to this moment. Olaf ran up to Sven and jumped up and grabbed his antlers. Sven playfully shook him off, and Olaf laughed. Usually, during Anna and Kristoff's dates, Olaf and Sven would go around and do whatever together. What they loved to do best was split a pie from the baker, cherry, their favorite. Sven would end up eating most of the pie while Olaf would never have more than two pieces. Olaf and Sven went about, leaving Anna and Kristoff to their date.Anna and Kristoff walked along the brick-paved path through Arendelle, glancing at all the wonderful spring leaves on the trees, and the beautiful white and purple flowers that bloomed in the grass. They passed the wonderful sights of their beloved home, and into the reborn woods past Hudson's Hearth. They loved going into the woods in the mountains, and it reminded them of when they went together to see Elsa in the North Mountain. It was painful then, but they grew to love the place so much, and to Anna, it felt so nostalgic, and to Kristoff, it was where he made his first human friends. Together they walked through the growing trees, it was all so romantic."I love this place," Anna said."Yea. And I love you, Anna," Kristoff said. "So much.""I love you too honey," Anna told him. "I can't wait until we get married next week.""Me neither," Kristoff replied. "I can't wait to be married to my favorite person ever.""Aww." Anna cooed.Anna then pulled Kristoff towards her and kissed him firmly on the lips. He kissed back, and they stood there in a long kiss for a couple of seconds. They continued walking through the forest, up the mountains, enjoying each other's company.Olaf and Sven walked through the town, and Olaf smelled every single flower. Sven smelled them too but he startled everyone around him with his loud reindeer sneeze, so he stopped smelling them after that. Occasionally, Olaf stopped and talked to some of the kids he had gotten to know over the last couple of years. For the time after Elsa gained control over her powers, and everyone was celebrating the reopening of the gates, Olaf walked around the castle and the rest of Arendelle, exploring the new sights. While he did this, he met a couple of children that were curious about him, he was a snowman who was alive after all. Eventually, he became friends with all the kids in the town. Olaf stopped at the smell of warm crispy pastries."Is today a pie day Sven?" Olaf inquired. Sven jumped up, panting with excitement."Ok let's go get some!" Olaf said.They ran through the streets and past the square to the baker. The burst through the door as the baker smiled."Here for another cheery pie Olaf?" He said, knowing the answer."Yes, please. Did you know that the average cherry tree has enough cherries to make twenty-eight pies?" Olaf said."I did not know that," The baker said. "But I do know that you love my cherry pies."The baker put a pie out for them and Olaf handed the baker some of the coins that Anna had given him earlier in the day."It's so much easier now that I can count," Olaf said. The baker just laughedOlaf grabbed the pie and he ran out of the bakery. He and Sven walked through the street up to Olaf's little grassy area. He placed the pie down on his red and white checkered blanket and he sat down, and Sven collapsed his legs underneath himself, coming to a sitting/laying down position. They began to eat the pie, Olaf using a fork to divide the pie into an "Olaf sized portion and a Sven sized portion." Olaf used the fork to eat his part of it, and Sven just stuck his face in his half.Elsa was on her way back from gathering firewood for the Northuldra, in another part of the forest because they were currently settled in the Lichen Meadows, when she spotted her best friend Honeymaren, and her brother Ryder."Hi, guys!" Elsa said, with her arms full of firewood."Hey, Elsa!" Honeymaren and Ryder replied.Elsa set the firewood down where two Northuldrans were setting up a fire for tonight, while Yelena and two others were skinning some red squirrels. She brushed the bark chips off of her dress and walked to the stream to wash up. As she sat in the stream, she recalled the time when she and Anna used to take baths together when they were kids. She would laugh while Anna would splash water all over the bathroom floor. They would play with a ball because they could not play with snow like they usually did. After all, it would always melt and Anna would complain that the water was too cold. She smiled at the thought of Anna. She was happy she was going to be with her for a whole week."I really miss Anna," Elsa said to herself. "Sometimes I wish we would still be together all the time."She dried off and got dressed and then went to where the fire was to have dinner with Honeymaren and Ryder.
