~An AU where Anna and Elsa grow up to be Arendelle's classical tale of 2 long lost sisters elsewhere after one traumatic childhood accident~

They've seen a large city. "What is that?" "That's Arendelle." "Elsa and Anna have been orphaned last 3 years since Agnarr and Iduna died which was something neither of them deserved at all." "Arendelle's classical tale of 2 long lost sisters have been living their own different, distant, free home-lives elsewhere separately far away from Arendelle since one traumatic accident."

INTERIOR. ARENDELLE'S CHAPEL
"This is where Agnarr's coronation ceremony took place, and Agnarr was crowned to be Arendelle's king, isn't it?" "Yup."

EXTERNAL. THE KINGDOM OF ARENDELLE
Arendelle was often heard about, how that was where the first settlers of their village came from, as well as neighboring ones, told of how 2 little girls once lived in the entire kingdom, before one traumatic accident caused them to live their own 2 different, distant, free home-lives elsewhere separately far away from Arendelle. The elderly folk claimed that 2 royal crown princesses have grown up to be Arendelle's former residents elsewhere separately since one traumatic accident. There was only silence. As they came to the town centre, they've seen the building that was still relatively standing - the palace, a familiar, humble castle, built of wood, nestled in a deep fjord was none other than Arendelle itself. Arendelle changed during the time Elsa and Anna have been gone for last 13 years when they've grown up to be Arendelle's classical tale of 2 long lost sisters elsewhere since one traumatic accident, but during the other time Elsa and Anna have been orphaned last 3 years since King Agnarr and Queen Iduna died as well. The streets have been darker and drearier than before/ever, but the whole entire kingdom of Arendelle was more unwelcoming than before/ever as well since Arendelle fell into sadness. The kingdom of Arendelle vanished through the tree line. "Only one princess and the other princess is being coronated as queen." "The Snow Queen's based off Arendelle's 2 long lost sisters, one's a pure mortal is Anna and the other has the powers of winter since she was born with them is Elsa." "One's a sunflower is Anna and the other's a snowflake is Elsa." "One has strawberry blonde hair is Anna and the other has platinum blonde hair is Elsa." "This is where Elsa and Anna used to live together, isn't it?" "Yup until the moment Elsa grew up far away from this kingdom elsewhere, Anna grew up away from this place elsewhere, too, since one traumatic accident." "One's raised as anything else at heart even more than only royalty elsewhere is Anna and the other's raised as nothing but royalty elsewhere is Elsa." "One's raised by non magic, ordinary childless human grown adult low-borns, non royals and unfit royals who normally show wilderness, worship magic correctly elsewhere is Anna and the other's raised by more natural, more precocious, more well rounded, childless human grown adult fit, real, royal, richer, wealthier, higher upper class, noble, gentry, more luxurious, overprivileged highborns, professionals and perfectionists who normally show courtly manners in public, know how to deal with the ice powers properly elsewhere is Elsa." "One grew up together with non magic, ordinary childless human adult, low-borns, non royals and unfit royals who normally show wilderness, worship magic elsewhere is Anna and the other grew up together with more natural, more precocious, more well rounded, childless human adult fit, real royal, richer, wealthier, higher upper class, noble, gentry, more luxurious, overprivileged, highborns, professionals and perfectionists who normally show courtly manners in public, know how to deal with the ice powers properly elsewhere is Elsa." "Poor Agnarr and Iduna really miss their daughters a lot." "I know, right?" "Worst of all, Elsa and Anna have been orphaned last 3 years since Agnarr and Iduna died." "Poor Elsa and Anna, orphaned at the ages of 18 and 15." "Poor Elsa, orphaned at the age of 18." "Poor Anna, orphaned at the age of 15." "Elsa's 21, whereas, Anna's 18." "They were born 3 years apart." "Arendelle's 2 orphaned sisters still live their own different, distant, free home-lives elsewhere separately far away from here." "It'd likely Anna the creeps, but it'd likely break and tear Elsa's heart out to see their old former childhood home in such a state as well only if, when or once they finally return back to visit at last."

EXTERNAL. ARENDELLE'S ROYAL GARDEN
"Any other gardeners who don't live in the kingdom of Arendelle usually come to work to make the garden look more and more beautiful, more gorgeous, lovelier and prettier just to impress Arendelle's 2 long lost sisters only if, when or once they finally return back to visit."

EXTERNAL. ARENDELLE'S ROYAL COURTYARD
"Elsa and Anna have came back here one, last time since one traumatic accident until they live their own, different, distant, newer, stronger, better, free home-lives elsewhere separately far away from here when they've grown up to be Arendelle's classical tale of 2 long lost sisters." "But where are Arendelle's other royal residents since Agnarr's and Iduna's undeserved deaths?" "Let me guess. Arendelle's royal castle guards, Arendelle's servants, Arendelle's maids, Arendelle's butlers, Arendelle's council and Arendelle's other royal castle staff?" "Yup." "I wish I've known, but we have to find out ourselves."

INTERIOR. THE KINGDOM OF ARENDELLE
They opened up the doors. "Man, this place's nothing at all but rather overly noiseless." "It's completely darker inside as well, isn't it?" "Yup since Elsa and Anna have grown up to be Arendelle's classical tale of 2 long lost sisters far away from here even before and after Agnarr's and Iduna's undeserved deaths." "At least we have flashlights." "I still hate the fact that anything has to change for worse." "I know. I do as well." "We need to go upstairs, there's something I need to get and do before we settle for the night." They started walking upstairs. "So, you live here?" "Well there's not many places to live in the north, besides people who used to live here, have grown up far away from here years ago, like Arendelle's 2 royal sisters so nobody else was using it anymore, if I'm wrong." When they've gotten to the top of the staircase, a large painting, its colors somewhat faded over time like the rest of the inside of the palace, yet what it depicted was still clear which caught their eyes. It was of 4 people, who they could only guess were Arendelle's royal family; King Agnarr, Queen Iduna, and their young daughters. The older one who looked no older than 8, was Princess Elsa. Next to her could only be Princess Anna. She looked no older than 5. Although it was clear that she had been trying to look as regal as possible, they've had the feeling that the painted pictures of 2 little princesses probably cause some suspicions. "You know, if it's been last 13 years since one traumatic incident, Anna's 18, whereas, Elsa's 21." "You know what happened to Arendelle's 2 royal crown princesses?" "Well, according to the tales, after one traumatic accident, Anna ended up being raised by non magic, ordinary childless human grown adult low-borns, non royals and unfit royals who normally show wilderness, worship magic correctly elsewhere, whereas, Elsa ended up raised by any more natural, more precocious, more well rounded, childless human grown adult fit royal, richer, wealthier, higher upper class, noble, gentry, more luxurious, overprivileged highborns, professionals and perfectionists who normally show courtly manners in public, know how to deal with the ice powers properly elsewhere." "So Agnarr and Iduna have lost all their custodies of their own 2 daughters to childless human grown adults, haven't they?" "Neither Agnarr nor Iduna were fit to raised gifted magical powered nor ordinary children by themselves correctly one at the same time from the very start. See, from what we know, the time after one traumatic accident and before Agnarr's and Iduna's undeserved deaths, Agnarr and Iduna still ruled this kingdom." "After all, this castle doesn't really belong to anybody anymore, does it?" "No." "After all, Arendelle's real owners abandoned this place for years, didn't they?" "Yup." "There's nobody else left from Arendelle's royal family around to claim this place, is there?!" "No." "If Grand Pabbie never removed Anna's knowledge of Elsa's ice powers, Anna and Elsa would've grown up here."

INTERIOR. ARENDELLE'S GREAT HALL
"This is where Agnarr and Iduna ruled, but this is where their daughters used to play together with Elsa's ice powers as well until one traumatic accident before Agnarr and Iduna have taken their daughters to the rock trolls to get Anna's head healed." "One grew up to be anything else at heart even more than only just Arendelle's sheltered royal crown princess, less isolated, less lonely elsewhere far away from here is Anna and the other grew up to be less isolated, less lonely in the colder, frostier, snowier, more magical, bigger, huger, larger, fancier, sparklier, shinier, more gorgeous, prettier, more beautiful, lovelier, better looking winter mega ice kingdom in the magical lands elsewhere far away from here is Elsa."

INTERIOR. ARENDELLE'S ROYAL LIBRARY
"Any other bookish bookworms who don't live here usually love to visit here anytime they desire." They looked at the room they were in. Above the desk, was the painting of the strawberry blond man they recognized from the other painting before was Agnarr. He looked very comfortable in the role as Arendelle's king and he held up a scepter and an orb.

INTERIOR. ARENDELLE'S PORTRAIT ROOM
"What nice looking pictures they are." "I know." "Whoever doesn't live here likes to stare at pictures."

INTERIOR. ARENDELLE'S ROYAL BALLROOM
"This is where balls usually are held, isn't it?" "Yup." The portrait of a slender, fair skinned, green eyed, strawberry blonde haired kingly man with mustache, sideburns, a slender, blue eyed, fair skinned, brown haired, brunette (in a bun) queenly woman, a radiant pale skinned, pink lipped, light freckled, rosy cheeked, blue eyed, platinum blonde haired, princess-y little girl and a fair skinned, pink lipped, light freckled, rosy cheeked, turquoise blue eyed, strawberry blonde haired princess-y little girl all together with each other as Arendelle's royal family. "You know who each of them are, don't you?" "Yes. There's King Agnarr, that's Queen Iduna, Princess Elsa, the little girl who'd grow up to be the Snow Queen and that other little girl there is Princess Anna." "Arendelle's royal family, huh?" "Yup until one traumatic accident." "No wonder Anna and Elsa have grown up to be Arendelle's classical tale of 2 long lost sisters elsewhere far away from here."

INTERIOR. ARENDELLE'S ROYAL COUNCIL CHAMBER
"This is where meetings are held, isn't it?" "Yup."

INTERIOR. ARENDELLE'S HALLWAYS
"Oh, great, now we have to take our shoes off. That way, we could slide on the wood wearing socks."

INTERIOR. AGNARR'S AND IDUNA'S FORMER QUARTERS
"This is where Agnarr and Iduna have slept until they died, which was something neither of them deserved." "Neither Elsa nor Anna have done nothing to deserve to end up orphaned at all." "At least they attended Agnarr and Iduna's funeral until they've gone back home separately instead of coming back here together." "What if Agnarr and Iduna have been regular ghosts all this time last 3 years?" "Wish I've known."

INTERIOR. ARENDELLE'S ROYAL STUDY
"This is where they study to gain knowledge, isn't it?" "Yup." "Hey, what's this? 2 old diaries of Arendelle's classical tale of 2 long lost sisters who live their own different, distant, free home-lives elsewhere separately far away from here since one traumatic accident."

INTERIOR. ARENDELLE'S OLD NURSERY BEDROOM
"This is where Elsa and Anna used to be roommates until they've already grown up to be Arendelle's classical tale of 2 long lost sisters elsewhere since one traumatic accident." "Yup, Anna and Elsa are former roommates." "This room's been empty last 13 years." There were all pictures of Elsa and Anna playing together, usually in the snow, building snowmen, sledding snow, ice skating and making snow angels until Elsa and Anna ended up living their own different, distant, free home-lives elsewhere separately since Elsa was 8, whereas, Anna was 5 respectively, and neither Elsa nor Anna came back home to live here again. "Poor girls really did want to spend more time together with each other forever, just like when they were little. This was their old nursery bedroom."

EXTERNAL. ARENDELLE'S BALCONY
"We could easily see the village outside the castle gates which it's comprised of homes, shops, a marketplace, the docks, and the city's clock tower and the mountains, the vast wilderness landscape surrounding this kingdom of Arendelle. It's here that Arendelle's primary export—ice—is harvested. Traversing through this area could be rather dangerous, such as savage wolves lurk throughout." "Oh, man!"

EXTERNAL. ARENDELLE'S CASTLE TOWERS
"Whoever still lives here, is free to hang and explore."

EXTERNAL. ARENDELLE'S ROOFS
"Whoever doesn't easily fear getting on the roof, could slide down to escape, whereas, whoever easily fears getting on the roof, could rather end up injured or even killed."

INTERIOR. ARENDELLE'S DUNGEON
"This is where any criminals are held prisoner, isn't it?" "Yup." "Whoever rather prefers the large rooms, hates how small this dungeon is."

INTERIOR. KINGDOM OF ARENDELLE
Arendelle's ghost royal monarchs, King Agnarr and Queen Iduna really miss their daughters a lot since one traumatic accident until Elsa and Anna have grown up to be Arendelle's classical tale of 2 long lost sisters elsewhere far away from here without Agnarr and Iduna much to Agnarr's and Iduna's heartbroken sadness. They still feel guilty for leaving their daughters orphaned during their (Elsa's and Anna's) teen-hood.

~Inside of Aren-delle in Norway, Scandinavia, Europe~
"One has long strawberry blonde hair was none other than Normal, Ordinary Princess Anna of Arendelle and the other has platinum blonde hair was none other than Frost, Ice, Snow Princess Elsa of Arendelle." "They've already grown up to be a classical tale of two long lost royal crown princess sisters of Arendelle since the childhood accident happened back when Anna was only five, whereas, Elsa was eight back then." "Anna's nineteen, whereas, Elsa's twenty one." "Poor king and queen of Arendelle really miss their long lost daughters a lot." "I know, right?"

Oh...well...okay then. I guess I didn't really need a heart anyways so go ahead and just smash it into a million pieces. I'm going to go cry now.

Gods, that last line always gets me. I always come close to tears (or actually cry) when reading this. This is a beautiful story, amazingly written, and it flows so smoothly. Anna and Elsa are scripted perfectly, and I really wish that Disney could've made a scene like this cannon and put it in the movie, or maybe as a short film, or maybe have it as a flashback in the second movie. Can't wait for the sequal to come out!

AHHHH *holds chest in pain*

. ...the feels
Wonderful story, kudos for making me cry like a four year old, how can I live without my daily dose of feels :)

Oh look, I've fallen into some feels and can't get up -_- _

This tugged at the heartstrings...

my heart... /3 so sad :( but fantastic story :)

wow that was depressing but really good. A good depressing if that is even possible. Anyway great story

Wonderful. Loved this scene. Thank you for writing this.

This! This is what we missed in the movie! I felt like we never got to really see either of the sisters' pain because their entire relationship was rushed through in a three-minute song. I really wish they had taken freakin' Olaf out entirely and focused more on the sisters' relationship and struggles. But, of course, they needed Olaf to bring in boy viewers... blech...

Excellent writing as always. You need no beta; you have a firm grasp of mechanics and your style flows very smoothly with a good amount of description. Still, I well understand the desire to have someone else look over your work before you fling it out into the unknown.

Thank you for writing all of these awesome stories!

Aww

I love this on shot.

Hang in there girls.

Tears. Yeah.

Speaking of tears. You pulled some out of me.

The thing that irks me - and I mean really IRKS me - about how their parents approached the ice-powers situation is that Grand Pabbie told them she needed to CONTROL her powers. What they ended up doing was trying to get her to SUPPRESS them. That is in no way the same thing. She should have been out practicing. Every Saturday they should have taken a sleigh up to the North Mountain and just let her see what she could do. That way she would have learned CONTROL. Instead, she didn't even know what she was capable of, much less how to leash it, and then it became So Very Obvious, once she let loose, that she COULD control it (and very beautifully) given the right incentive. It was only when fear began to take over again that she LOST control and hurt Anna. If Elsa doesn't/didn't fear her powers ... well, okay, it would have been a very different movie, wouldn't it?

Hindsight is always the clearest, isn't it?

I just found your beautiful story and it is great. Great idea, beautiful written. I really love it.
