Elsa & Anna's parents don't die

I may have to come back later and write an end-of-movie scene too but this came to mind first.

*

Elsa was almost... disappointed when she heard Anna's voice at the door. Why had their parents let her go out alone? The mountains were dangerous to anyone who could feel cold, and Anna definitely did. They should have come themselves, Elsa thought, if they were going to send anyone. But then again, that would mean showing a closeness that she was sure they hadn't felt in years. Oh sure, they tried to help her, they tried doctors and magicians and a few strange people who were both, but she knew that they were afraid of her. Anyone who knew about her powers was.

Everyone except Anna, who had forgotten for years and then tried to pick up with her again like the gap hadn't even happened. Anna, who had been so excited about Elsa's coming of age and the opening of the gates. Anna, who had never stopped knocking.

Elsa just wanted her to be safe, she really did. Her heels made a clicking sound on the icy floor as she strode out into the main hall. She liked the sound.

"Go home, Anna," she said to her sister, trying to seem stern. "Tell Mom and Dad I'm not coming back. Not ever."

"Elsa, it's okay," Anna answered, and she didn't stop and turn around like Elsa wanted her to. "They had to stay and smooth things over with all the dignitaries, but we want you back. I want you back. You're my family."

"This is where I belong," Elsa said softly. "You can be a normal family without me. We'll all be happier this way."

She had tangled her fingers in her braid as she spoke, clutching hard enough at strands that it hurt a little, but she welcomed the pain. She let herself actually feel. It was a luxury to her, even the sadness.

"Elsa--" Anna began, but then a snowman waddled in and the stakes changed. Elsa had had enough. She channeled all her anger and frustration at her parents into the snow monster, a protector who would keep her safe, and more importantly, alone.

That was the way things should be.

SOB it's okay I didn't need those feelings anyway

Elsa, the business of being queen

Anna knocked on Elsa's study door, waiting for her sister to invite her in before opening. The young queen still had a tendency to lash out with her magic when annoyed or startled; she was working hard on learning self-control, but Anna had learned to tread cautiously in some respects. One icy heart was enough for one lifetime, thanks.

When she first opened the door, at first she couldn't even see her sister. "Elsa, come outside! You've been in here all morning."

"I can't." Elsa's white head popped out over a mountain of books. "I have the taxes to review and --"

"And they can WAIT!" Anna said, grabbing the shoulder of her dress and awkwardly tugging her around the desk. "Right now you need to have some fun!"

"But I am having fun!" Elsa said. "I really like being queen. I like working on the budgets and reviewing the statutes and all the stuff that yes, I know you find so boring." She laughed a little at the look on Anna's face.

"Why?" Anna asked.

"Because I'm good at it," Elsa said with a shrug. "And it's important."

"Well it's a good thing you're queen and not me," Anna said. "But you know there is such a thing as too much of a good thing. Now come build a snowwoman with me! Olaf is lonely and I promised you would make him a very special friend."

"I don't think a snowwoman is the kind of friend he's looking for," Elsa said idly, but she let Anna drag her out the door anyway. The business of being queen could wait a half hour.

This is so cute. :3

Kristoff and Sven have a 'conversation'

Kristoff had never realized how musical Sven was until he, on a whim, picked up a stringed instrument he didn't even know the name of. Plucking the strings in a random tune, he began singing to the reindeer: "I think that I need a hobby. Sven, don't you think I'm right?"

The reindeer pranced over, and while the two friends had had many "conversations" over the years, with Kristoff translating Sven's expressions into words, the reindeer's face was even more expressive. "That is very true, and this one will do! It beats getting into a fight." The emphatic way Sven nodded as he finished the musical translation made Kristoff laugh -- a laugh quickly cut off when Sven headbutted him towards the counter.

"All right, all right, I'm getting the instrument!"

They are such dorks.
