Chapter 9: Paying Respects
Hey everyone I'm back with a new chapter. Now this one is a little something I think that would have been very comforting especially considering the events of Frozen 2 coming up. Anyway I'd like to thank Car45 for making a one-shot based on my story. Feel free to have a look. I hope you like what I have planned. Please Review and Enjoy.
It had been 2 months since Marcus and Elsa's fever had gone away and quite a few things had happened in Arendelle.
As Marcus was walking through the halls, he noticed Anna and Kristoff trying to give Sven a bath in the courtyard. Walking to the balcony Marcus got a better view of it.
"Come on Sven, it's just a little water." Anna said as Kristoff poured water on top of Sven causing the reindeer to scream and shake his fur spraying them both in water.
"Told ya, Sven hates baths." Kristoff said wiping his face with a towel before handing it to Anna.
"Gonna take more than that to stop me. Olaf we need another bucket." Anna calls out.
"Coming!" Olaf runs over with the bucket but trips and ends up soaking Anna and Kristoff instead causing Sven to run off.
"Olaf, you were supposed to soak Sven." Kristoff said as Anna grabbed the buckets.
"Well then we'll just have to soak him ourselves." Anna said as she, Kristoff and Olaf held a bucket.
Up above Marcus was holding his side laughing when Elsa walks over.
"What's so funny?" Elsa asks when Marcus points down and instantly she covered her mouth holding in her laughter.
Down below Anna, Kristoff and Olaf were running around the courtyard chasing after Sven as he avoided all of them throwing water at him.
"I feel like we should help but I don't want to look away." Elsa laughs.
"I know." Marcus said as Olaf tried throw the water bucket but ended up throwing himself onto Sven.
"Hey Sven." Olaf said as Sven shook him off and Olaf fell into the bucket. "Ooh this is actually kinda nice."
Anna tries to chase after Sven but tripped on some water and crashed into Kristoff knocking them both to the ground.
"You okay?" Kristoff asks helping her up.
"Yeah nothing hurt. Sorry about that." Anna said.
"It's okay. I got a thick skull." Kristoff said.
"I don't have a skull…or bones." Olaf said as Anna kissed Kristoff's forehead to make him feel better.
"Okay we better help." Marcus laughs as they walked out.
Waving her hands Elsa and a gust of snow lifted a bucket over Sven and Marcus zapped the bucket causing it to spill all over Sven.
Looking up they saw Elsa and Marcus walk over.
"Oh now you two show up." Anna said.
"We tried him out for you." Kristoff said.
"Sure you did." Elsa smirks.
"How long were you two watching?" Kristoff asks.
"When you three started running around the place with buckets." Marcus said.
"And you just stood there and laughed?" Kristoff asks.
"You guys looked like you were having so much fun and we certainly didn't want to get in the way of your fun." Marcus said.
"You thought two thought we were having fun?" Anna asks.
"Yeah." Elsa and Marcus nods.
"You and Kristoff have your ideas of fun while Marcus and I have our ideas." Elsa said.
"Why don't you guys go get dried off." Marcus suggests.
"Yeah good idea. You remember what today is Marcus?" Anna asks.
"How could I forget?" Marcus asks.
"What's today?" Kristoff asks.
"It's something important that Marcus and I always do." Anna said.
"Actually, I think you should probably come too, Elsa." Marcus said surprising her.
"I should?" Elsa asks.
"Is it something I need to be concerned about?" Kristoff asks.
"Not this time Kristoff, it's something a little sensitive." Marcus said as he leaned in and whispered something to him causing his eyes widen.
"Oh wow…yeah I get it." Kristoff nods.
"Thanks for understanding." Marcus said.
Up in the mountains, Anna and Marcus got off to see they had arrived at the burial sight of King Agnarr and Queen Iduna much to Elsa's surprise.
"So this is where it was." Elsa realized as Anna put some flowers down.
"I take Anna here every once in a while. We just sit here and talk about the good times." Marcus said.
"Hey mom, dad it's me Anna. It's been a while but I finally got Elsa to come with me and Marcus." Anna said.
Elsa looked at Marcus before he gently nudged her telling her to go over.
Slowly Elsa walked over and stood next to Anna.
"Uh hi mom hi dad. Yeah I'm finally out of my room. I learned how to control my powers." Elsa looks to Marcus and he gestures for her to keep going.
"Lot has happened since the last time I was here. Where should we even begin?" Anna asks.
"Well one thing we learned is Marcus and I really have to make sure to never get a cold again." Elsa said causing Anna to giggle.
Smiling Marcus watched as the two of them talked to the graves and the two sisters share stories and bond.
As Elsa stepped back she walked over to Marcus.
"I'll admit I'm kinda glad I came up here. I didn't realize how much you helped Anna while I was away." Elsa said.
"It's my job." Marcus said. "Hey Elsa, you think your parents would like me? You know as your boyfriend?"
"They would have loved you." Elsa smiles.
"Thanks." Marcus smiles softly.
As Anna slowly walked away Marcus walked up to the graves and put his hand on them.
"I kept my promise. I said I would look after Anna and Elsa for you both and they both have become amazing." Marcus smiles before walking away.
That night, as they came back from their trip and Marcus walked Elsa back to her room while Anna walked to hers.
"You okay Elsa?" Marcus asks.
"Yeah I'm fine. I really appreciate you taking me to see it." Elsa said.
"It felt like something you needed. Not to mention I think Anna really appreciated you being with her for this." Marcus said.
"I just wish I had gone to you for help sooner. Maybe I could have had more time with them." Elsa frowns.
Marcus looks at Elsa feeling down and feeling sorry for herself Marcus realized he was tired of seeing that.
Moving in Marcus started tickling Elsa causing her to burst into laughter.
"Marcus stop!" Elsa laughs as she tries to wiggle free. "What are you doing?!"
"From now on every time you start moping or feeling sorry for yourself about the past I am gonna tickle you until you stop feeling bad." Marcus smirks.
"You wouldn't." Elsa said.
"Try me." Marcus said as he tickled Elsa again causing her to laugh.
"Okay! Okay! I believe you!" Elsa said as he stopped.
"You better not be mopey from now on or else I will chase you all over this castle and I will catch you." Marcus promises.
