- >Peek out of the door of my room
- >Coast is clear, make a run for the library
- >Suddenly hear suspiciously Anna-sounding footsteps behind me.
- >"ELSAAA!"
- >Ambushed by Anna
- >Seriously has she been waiting behind the corner for me to come out all day?
- >"Do you wanna build a snowman♫"
- >Do you wanna try learning more than one song?
- >"Um...I can't...I'm busy with...royal...stuff..."
- >"Oh...well, how about later?"
- >"Maybe. We'll see."
- >Suddenly looks like it's the happiest day of her life, goes skipping off.
- >Get to library.
- >LOCK the door.
- >Stay there all night reading Leibniz's works on recursive self-similarity in fear her ominous redheaded presence may be lurking just out the door.
- >Try to sneak out of my room making as little noise as possible.
- >"ELSA!"
- >Ambushed by Anna again.
- >I'm going to start calling this "Annabushed"
- >"I've been reading this book! You like books, right Elsa?"
- >She's holding a book in her hands. Looks like some trashy romance novel.
- >"Well...some books..."
- >"It's called "Pride and Prejudice." You should read it! Have you already read it? The part where Darcy proposes to Elizabeth is soooo romantic!"
- >She's blushing furiously.
- >I think this might border on swooning.
- >I swear books like those rot your mind.
- >"Ah. Well, I'm sure it's very good. That's not really my genre though..."
- >She looks like someone just told her our parents died as I slowly sneak back into my room.
- >Please don't grow up to be a slut, Anna.
- >Library just got in latest book by Gauss, "General Investigations of Curved Surfaces"
- >Rush to library, grab it.
- >Rush back to room.
- >Clearly a bit too excited because I bump into someone.
- >ohgreatitskai
- >"Oh, sorry Kai."
- >"Your majesty?! I'm the one who should be sorry!"
- >He notices I have a geometry book.
- >"Another math book? You know, I can calculate fractions in my head. Go ahead, ask me one."
- >This is about the 100th time he's told me this.
- >I stopped being impressed when I was ten, Kai.
- >Well today I show him.
- >"Actually, there's a fraction-related problem I've been having trouble with...how come 1/3 times 3 is 1, but 0.333... times 3 is 0.999..."
- >"Um...well...that's..."
- >"Just let me know if you figure it out."
- >Kai never bugs me about fractions again.
- >Mission accomplished.
- >Come out of hiding in my room to eat. Start walking towards the kitchen.
- >Hear voices.
- >Sounds like my parents have foreign dignitaries over or something.
- >Decide to just stay in my room until they leave.
- >Turn around.
- >Suddenly Annabushed.
- >"Hi, Elsa! Lately, my breasts have been growing a lot!"
- >She grabs them with her hands.
- >How am I even supposed to respond to that?
- >Just stare at her blankly like an idiot.
- >"I don't think they're as big as yours though..."
- >She suddenly starts groping my chest in the middle of the hallway.
- >Jam hands into pockets.
- >CONCEAL
- >DON'T
- >FEEL
- >After what feels like forever she finally stops.
- >"Nope. I'll work hard to catch up though!"
- >She just walks off like that was nothing.
- >Run back to my room, I can feel wetness in my pockets.
- >Get there, pull hands out.
- >Fistfulls of snow.
- >God damn it.
- >Wait, what did she mean "work hard?"
- >Is there something you can do to make them bigger?
- >Sitting in the library.
- >Look out the window, see Anna on wall walk looking intently at some distant ice harvesters.
- >TOO intently
- >Momentarily consider rendering the ice harvesting industry obsolete.
- >Please please please don't grow up to be a slut, Anna.
- >Oh who am I kidding it's a lost cause.
- >Wait this could be a chance to actually be a good sister for once.
- >Go up to her.
- >"You know, big, aggressive men like that don't really make a suitable partner for a princess."
- >"Ohhhh...really?"
- >"Yes. You should really look for a prince. One who's polite and charming."
- >"Right! Got it!"
- >"Also, he should think like you. You should have good mental synchronization."
- >"If you say so, that's what I'll look for!"
- >Haha, a charming prince who's as crazy as Anna. Like that could ever happen.
- >"But you know, I think a bookish, reclusive kind of guy might be okay too."
- >She leans on my shoulder.
- >Surprisingly it doesn't result in snowmageddon.
- >Or maybe I just don't notice because it's already snowing.
- >She's shivering. I put my arm around her.
- >thisisn'tsobad
- >Cousin from Corona coming to visit.
- >Anna is bouncing off the walls like a maniac.
- >Have to have dinner with her and my family.
- >Could potentially last for hours.
- >She used to have the most beautiful hair ever to grace the Earth.
- >Then the second she gets married she chops it up into some ugly brown thing.
- >I swear to God I'm never getting married.
- >Spend like an hour getting dressed and ready.
- >Anna shows up with messy hair, dress not done up properly.
- >She still looks beautiful but I can't believe our parents let her get away with this.
- >Eat dinner together. Food is actually pretty good.
- >After one hour of meaningless conversation, still no end in sight.
- >"So Elsa, I hear you have a talent for mathematics. What have you been learning lately?"
- >Finally something I can talk about. I may have misjudged cousin.
- >"Yes. Recently, I've been fascinated by the debate over whether light is a particle or a wave. The mathematical evidence suggests it's a wave, but some of its behaviours suggest it's a particle."
- >"Oh."
- >Realize I probably just came off as some kind of obsessive freak.
- >But what did she want me to say, "Recently I learnt long division" so she could wow me with her long division skills? Probably.
- >Like that time she long divided her hair.
- >Nobody really tries to talk to me for the rest of the night.
- >Went better than expected, maybe.
- >In the study. Dad is teaching me some things about governance.
- >It's pretty boring but I AM going to be queen one day.
- >Either that or an icicle.
- >"And so, according to Machiavelli, excessive generosity from a ruler may not lead to him being loved, but simply to greed among his subjects."
- >When I'm queen, I'm never talking with anyone ever again.
- >I'll just write everything down.
- >Except maybe I'll still talk with Anna.
- >Maybe.
- >I'm also going to eat chocolate every day.
- >Dad finishes his lesson.
- >"Elsa, you may be a bit...different, but your mother and I want you to know you're still our daughter and we still love you."
- >Yeah, okay dad.
- >You think I don't know who the special "lunatic cell" in the dungeon is REALLY for?
- >"Thank you, father."
- >New mayor and his family are over.
- >Mayor is an idiot. This is what you get when you let people pick their leaders.
- >Shudder at through of Arrendelle going full democratic.
- >They'd probably elect Anna president.
- >See the mayor's daughter.
- >First-class beauty.
- >Probably as beautiful as Anna will be in a few years.
- >Also HUGE bosom.
- >Notice my chair is starting to freeze.
- >Better bail out of there.
- >"Sorry, I'll be back in just a minute."
- >Run to the nearest empty room and shut myself in.
- >Compose myself so I don't freeze the castle with my raging envy.
- >At least I think it's envy.
- >Go back.
- >dontlookatherchest dontlookatherchest
- >I wonder how dad is handling this.
- >Look at dad. He's subtly stealing glances at her chest.
- >God damn it dad. So much for "conceal, don't feel," huh?
- >They finally leave.
- >Only four more years until we get another mayor.
- >Hopefully with an ugly daughter.
- >Or just a son.
- >I look over at Anna.
- >An ugly son.
- >Sixteenth birthday party.
- >Have to eat dinner with my family but at least there's chocolate cake.
- >There's also gifts, which can be kind of hit or miss.
- >Dinner goes pretty well. Not too many stupid questions.
- >Anna stuffing herself with chocolate cake like it's her job.
- >It's actually probably the closest thing to a job she'll ever have.
- >Time for presents.
- >Open dad's first.
- >Another pair of gloves. What a surprise.
- >To be fair they look kind of expensive.
- >"Thank you, father."
- >Mom's is next.
- >It's a doll.
- >I'm sixteen not six, mom.
- >"Thank you, mother."
- >Last is Anna's.
- >It's a copy of "Pride and Prejudice"
- >I told her this wasn't my genre.
- >"Thank you, Anna. I can't wait to start reading it."
- >She looks like I just told her Christmas got moved to tomorrow.
- >Party's over.
- >Gifts kind of a miss this year, but what was I expecting? A Dollond Telescope?
- >Go to my room, start reading Anna's book.
- >It's actually pretty addictive. Stay up all night reading through it.
- >I feel stupider already.
