(Anna's P.O.V.)
Today was epic! Fighting off the Royal Family in Auradon, rescuing Jack, and Elsa being engaged! And now that Rapunzel, Eugene, and Celia left for Corona; I can freak out!
(SQUEAL)
"Anna!" Elsa sighs in exasperation. Jack is blushing, and Kristoff has his "skeptical face" on.
"What? I can't be excited that my sister found true love!?"
"Anna, they just met, recently..." Kristoff gives me a look that says, "remeber Hans?".
I stick out my tongue.
"Ugh. Look it doesn't matter. It's true love."
"Doesn't sound like true love."
I love Kristoff, but he is so unromantic! Someone needs to knock some sense into him!
I snatch his guitar. "IT'S TRUE LOVE!" Elsa grabs the guitar before it makes contact with Kristoff's skull.
"Anna, please listen, I think we need to discuss some things. Kristoff isn't necessarily wrong."
"He's not!?"
Jack was snickering at Kristoff. But he stopped and walked up to me.
"I never asked Elsa to marry me."
Oh....
"YOU proposed?!" Wow. Who knew Elsa had it in her?
"Not exactly. I said that to protect Jack from Auradon. It was a last minute plan." Elsa looked guilty.
"So you're not engaged?"
And they were so perfect!
"No, Anna, they're not." Kristoff rolls his eyes.
I glare at him.
"Actually..." Elsa looked at Jack.
Jack smirked with a bitter smile. "We'll have to keep up the charade, right?"
"We...may need to make it real. I believe Auradon's already announced our engagement and what happened at Auradon Prep. Arendelle probably already knows."
Jack shrugged. "There are worse fates."
No....this cannot be happening.
"I also confess, that I have been needing to marry."
What?
Jack and Kristoff exchange looks.
"Arendelle's law says untill the eldest royal child marries, the younger children may not."
"(Gasp)! Oh, Elsa! You don't-"
"No," Jack stopped me. "This is what's best for all of us." He took Elsa's hand.
Elsa smiled and mouthed "Thank you."
We head back to the Castle. And were greeted with a lot of reporters!
"Queen Elsa! Is it true you're engaged!?"
"Is what Auradon says about your fiance? Is he a villain!?"
"Is your sudden engagement because Anna cannot marry unless you do?"
I elbow through them shielding my sister, while Kristoff and Olaf shield Jack.
We make it to the gates. "Ready?" Elsa asks Jack.
Jack nods. We go in.
All the servants rush to us, as we enter.
"Queen Elsa! Is it true? You are engaged?"
The servants cast wary glances at Jack. Elsa looked weary.
"Yes!" I said in my cheeriest voice. "So, my future brother-in-law needs a room prepared. And please make extra chocolate for dinner. We need to celebrate. And set an appointment with the royal tailor. He needs a wardrobe."
Giving them tasks, to do we left, me leading us to the family room.
"That was brilliant!" Jack nudged my shoulder.
"Thanks!"
"Now what?" Kristoff asks.
Elsa sighs. "Jack now needs to learn the Arendelle ettiquette for royalty and the rules, customs, manners..."
Jack looked depressed as Elsa listed everything he needed to do.
"Leave that to me!" I volunteer.
Kristoff face-palms and groans.
Jack looked at Elsa. Elsa sighed. "We may as well try."
❄❄❄❄❄❄
Next day, we start bright and early.
Jack arrives about twelve minutes late. Sigh. This is gonna take a while.
[ANNA, spoken]
"Now remember. No nagging, bragging, sweating, fretting, slipping, tripping, slurping, burping, twittering, or frittering allowed. Stay present, stay pleasant, stay proud."
Jack looked exausted listening to the shoulds and should nots. He'll get the hang of it, or my name isn't Princess Anna of Arendelle!
(sung)
"To be a royal,
Is to know which spoon to use."
I hand him the dessert spoon to eat his gelato. He was using the soup spoon!
"To be a royal
Is a thousand pairs of shoes!"
He stared at the large closet of shoes in disbelief. No wonder he goes barefoot!
"To maintain a regal gait,
Leave the parsley on your plate,"
Jack looked frustrated at my crticizing his table manners.
"And be charming but detached,
And yet amused."
Jack looked terribly confused. Sigh.
"To be a royal,
Is to never be confused!"
I whisk him away to the dance floor for a dance lesson.
"Do a plié and never fall
Don't ever stray from protocol!"
Jack may graceful in the air and when fighting, but there's none of that on the dance floor!
"All through the day
There's just one way
You must behave."
Jack sighed loudly. We're making progress.
"Do keep a grip and never crack!
Stiff upper lip and arch the back!"
Jack's posture lessons is frustrating for both of us. But I pride myself on helping the most impossible!
"Bend from above
And always wear your gloves
And wave."
Jack hates gloves even more than he hates shoes.
"Shoulders back and
Tummy in and
Pinky out and
Lift the chin and
Slowly turn the head from
Side to side."
[JACK]
"I see now!"
Jack's improved! It's a miracle!
[ANNA]
"Breathing gently,
Stepping lightly,
Smile brightly,
Nod politely,
Never show a thing you feel inside.
Glide!"
Jack has been fitted by a tailor and has an improved wardrobe. But it's still in his style.
"To be a royal
Is to always look your best."
Jack rolls his eyes.
"To be a royal,
Is to never get to rest!"
Jack looked horrified.
"Sit for a portrait, never squirm!"
Jack hates sitting for portraits. I threatened to tie him down if he wouldn't sit still.
"Sleep on a mattress extra firm!"
Jack does enjoy his new bed.
"Speak and be clever,
Never at a loss for words."
Jack claimed that was impossible. I think he's learning though!
"Bow to every count and lord
Learn how to play the harpsichord!
Sing lullabies and always harmonize in thirds."
[ANNA & JACK]
"Thirds, thirds!"
Jack has a lovely singing voice.
Jack saw a portait of Elsa on our eighteenth lesson.
[JACK]
"And... she has beautiful eyes.
Your spirits rise,
When she walks in the room."
[ANNA, spoken]
"I see."
Not true love, Kristoff? Hah! I told you I've got good insticnts. I know true love when I see it!
[JACK]
"Doors close,
And the chemistry grows,
She's like a rose
That's forever in bloom!*voice cracks*"
Jack needs more singing lessons after all.
[ANNA & JACK]
"Do a plié and don't-"
"Ever, ever, ever fall!"
Jack's improved!
"Never show dismay."
"And be there when people call!"
"Be prepared whatever royal life will bring"
I belive Jack will be ready for royal life.
"Do keep a grip and don't-"
"Ever, ever, ever crack!"
"Take a dainty sip."
Jack's table manners are so much better.
"Never ever turn your back!"
"There's a time and place and
Way for everything!"
I've done it! Jack is gonna blow Arendelle away! They're gonna love him!
[ANNA]
"To be a royal
Is to never make your bed."
Jack was able to do that, no problem.
"To be a royal
Is to always use your head!"
That still needs some work....
