Princess Elsa<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

by AJ Marks<\/span><\/p>\n

Part 12<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Elsa looked down at her phone once more at the text from Lynn, so simple yet had so many things which could go wrong.<\/p>\n

Have you told them?<\/em><\/p>\n

Ever since she had gone to see Lynn one thing which came up would be she would tell her parents about her.\u00a0 That way perhaps her father wouldn\u2019t try pushing every prince on her at every meeting.<\/p>\n

However, she worried about their reactions, not that Lynn was a girl, but that Lynn wasn\u2019t a prince, or princess.\u00a0 Anna had been supportive, as well as Kristoff, both of who told her to just go ahead after informing them of what happened, including the fight.\u00a0 It scared Elsa how much the fight had affected her, a rush of emotion she never felt before.<\/p>\n

Kristoff mentioned it was because Elsa cared deeply for Lynn.\u00a0 But Elsa barely knew Lynn, or so she told herself.\u00a0 Kristoff said it really only takes a day to love someone, but a lifetime to understand them.\u00a0 He seemed to know what to say until Anna mentioned he knew what it was like to be in Lynn\u2019s shoes.<\/p>\n

Anna had then mentioned how nervous she was when telling their parents about Kristoff.\u00a0 And that the first thing they had done was investigate Kristoff.\u00a0 Elsa didn\u2019t want her parents frightening off Lynn, it seemed like their relationship was only beginning.<\/p>\n

\u201cProcrastinating?\u201d Anna\u2019s voice said.<\/p>\n

Elsa turned to see Anna making her way down the hallway.<\/p>\n

\u201cUm no, just, I don\u2019t know,\u201d Elsa said.<\/p>\n

To her surprise Anna opened the door, and then steered Elsa into the room to face their parents.<\/p>\n

\u201cMom, dad, Elsa has something she wants to tell you,\u201d Anna said, then closed the door leaving them alone and Elsa opened mouth while mentally cursing her younger sister.<\/p>\n

Elsa stood unsure how to even start this conversation as her mother steered her to the bed, sitting her down and sat down next to her.\u00a0 Elsa fidgeted with her hands trying to form the words as her mother covered her hands.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhatever you have to say, I\u2019m sure your mind is making our reaction worse than what it is,\u201d her mother said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, I, um, you see, there is someone I like,\u201d Elsa said blurting it out a bit.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s wonderful, who is the lucky prince,\u201d her father said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAh, you see, that\u2019s, well,\u201d Elsa fumbled seeing her father look so hopeful and turned to her mother, who seemed to be waiting for more, as if she understood even more.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not a prince, is it,\u201d her mother said shocking Elsa.<\/p>\n

\u201cHer name is Lynn,\u201d Elsa said now looking at the carpet not wanting to see her father\u2019s disappointment.\u00a0 \u201cShe\u2019s a college student, graduating at the end of the month, gets good grades, is funny, sweet, pretty, actually beautiful, and I like her.\u201d<\/p>\n

With that she looked up at her father who didn\u2019t say anything and over to her mother who was smiling.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat?\u00a0 When?\u201d her father managed to say.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring the vacation I took for a week, she was on the floor we were on, won a contest,\u201d Elsa said.\u00a0 \u201cAnd we\u2019ve been texting each other for a while, and I went to see her the morning after the independence day ball.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou snuck out?\u201d her father said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd you didn\u2019t, and Anna, seems like a common thread with your family,\u201d her mother said causing him to stop any further statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, doesn\u2019t mean its right,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd your father wasn\u2019t pleased either when you snuck out to see me, if you had stopped would you have married me?\u201d she said to him.\u00a0 \u201cBesides, I knew where she was.\u201d<\/p>\n

With that Elsa looked back at her mother.<\/p>\n

\u201cA mother knows these things,\u201d she said to her.<\/p>\n

She looked over at her father who still seemed to be in shock over what he heard.\u00a0 Elsa figured he didn\u2019t expect to hear that she discovered a person on her own.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, we\u2019ll have to investigate her and her family,\u201d he finally stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cHer parents died a few years ago, she has an uncle who she says doesn\u2019t seem to like her,\u201d Elsa said.\u00a0 \u201cHe\u2019s helping her until she graduates and earns her inheritance.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI see,\u201d her father finally said.\u00a0 \u201cStill, we want to be thorough or the media will pick upon it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now they\u2019re too engrossed with putting me with Ranald,\u201d Elsa replied rolling her eyes.\u00a0 \u201cHe\u2019s a pig.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe could have invited princesses instead,\u201d her father stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we should allow her to find out if Lynn is the one for her,\u201d her mother said, her voice light but something about it seemed hard.<\/p>\n

\u201cAh, well, I suppose so,\u201d her father finally said.\u00a0 \u201cAnything else we should know?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, I\u2019ve been staying away because she wants to concentrate on her studies, her last class and graduate.\u00a0 And the distance between us makes it difficult,\u201d Elsa finally said.\u00a0 \u201cBut we do talk often.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCommunication is important,\u201d her mother said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is she graduating in?\u201d her father asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cHistory, with a specialization in museum operations,\u201d Elsa said.<\/p>\n

\u201cDifferent,\u201d her father replied.\u00a0 \u201cWell, I\u2019ll wait to see what turns up, and anything she can tell us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t be too much on her just yet, we\u2019ve been silent because she wants to concentrate on her studies, she had a good grade point average,\u201d Elsa said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, we\u2019ll do a preliminary investigation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOkay,\u201d Elsa said, standing as her mother gave her hug.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m glad you found someone you like,\u201d she said to her.<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks mom,\u201d Elsa said, feeling relieved at how well the talk had gone.\u00a0 She felt her father wasn\u2019t impressed yet, and he really wanted her to meet up with a prince or princess, but her mother didn\u2019t seem to mind at all.<\/p>\n

Making her way out of the room she ran right into Anna standing in the hallway.<\/p>\n

\u201cI guess it went well, no yelling,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, it did,\u201d Elsa said.\u00a0 \u201cThough, I think father was disappointed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, he\u2019s looking for political things,\u201d Anna said.\u00a0 \u201cDid the same with me, mom had to remind him that she wasn\u2019t from any royalty.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elsa nodded, knowing it for the truth.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, you were worrying about nothing,\u201d Anna said.\u00a0 \u201cCome on, their making some new chocolate treats in the kitchen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elsa allowed herself to be led off by her sister knowing she\u2019d have to test Lynn and let her know what happened.<\/p>\n

*****<\/p>\n

Lynn fiddled with her phone, staring at the text she received only a few minutes ago.<\/p>\n

Told my parents.\u00a0 Mom was cool with it, dad, well, he wants to know more about you.\u00a0 Otherwise, went well.<\/em><\/p>\n

She tapped a finger on the table knowing this next part would be the toughest they had since their fight.\u00a0 She avoided talking about it, simply due to the fact it was a secret. \u00a0However, she knew she wouldn\u2019t have much of a choice.<\/p>\n

Picking up her phone she finally dialed a number she knew, but never used for anything more than an emergency after her parents had been killed.\u00a0 She waited a few rings before someone answered, a female voice.<\/p>\n

\u201cHello, Trezety\u2019s Enterprises, how may I help you?\u201d she said pleasantly.<\/p>\n

\u201cI need to speak with Ben Trezety, its important, its his niece, Lynn\u201d Lynn said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe doesn\u2019t speak with people,\u201d the woman replied.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust let him know I\u2019m calling,\u201d Lynn said, frustrated with the woman already.<\/p>\n

\u201cFine, hold please,\u201d she said as the line went to the usual, boring, waiting music.\u00a0 It wasn\u2019t long before another voice answered.<\/p>\n

\u201cLynn?\u201d a male voice said.<\/p>\n

\u201cUncle Ben?\u201d Lynn asked, not really sure this was him.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, what\u2019s so important you\u2019re calling me?\u201d he asked, a bit of impatience in his voice and Lynn wanted to get this conversation over with<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you recall an e-mail from me not long ago?\u201d she asked, now having to bring up the real problem.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, you mentioned something about a problem with you lover, Kris, she was a gold digger\u201d he told her making her wonder how he knew.\u00a0 \u201cThis wouldn\u2019t have to do with someone else?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUm, actually, yes,\u201d Lynn finally managed to say.<\/p>\n

\u201cI see, I\u2019m afraid I\u2018m complicating your love life then,\u201d he finally said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, well mom said you\u2019d do that,\u201d Lynn said, surprised to hear him laugh.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, dating the princess will do that as well,\u201d Ben said.\u00a0 \u201cI assume because you\u2019re calling me about this, its not a simple friendship.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, no, we do want it to be more, or at least try,\u201d Lynn said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe, I suggest you tell her about me,\u201d he said to her.\u00a0 \u201cHonestly is the best policy, even in my business.\u00a0 Either way, I don\u2019t care.\u00a0 My obligation to you ends when you graduate.\u201d<\/p>\n

With that he hung up leaving Lynn staring at her phone in shock.\u00a0 Her mother said he could be an ass, but she really had no dealing with him other than a few of his acquaintances who scared her.\u00a0 He seemed short in e-mails as well, as if he had something else to do, yet, he seemed to know what she was doing already, and about her and Elsa.\u00a0 Was he watching her?\u00a0 That thought seemed a bit frightening to her.\u00a0 Her mother had never said any kind words about him and Lynn was starting to see why.<\/p>\n

Knowing she really couldn\u2019t hide this for long, she hoped Elsa would actually pick up the phone as she dialed the number.\u00a0 She waited, nervously, as the phone rang feeling torn between hoping no one would pick up and someone would answer.\u00a0 To her relief and disappointment someone answered.<\/p>\n

\u201cHey,\u201d a cheerful, yet slightly muffled voice she recognized as Elsa answered.<\/p>\n

\u201cUm, I didn\u2019t call you at a bad time?\u201d Lynn asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cWait,\u201d followed by a pause and Elsa came back on.\u00a0 \u201cSorry about that, was eating.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, I didn\u2019t want to disturb you, I can call back,\u201d Lynn said, her stomach doing flip flops over what she needed to discuss.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, just in the kitchen with my sister stealing,\u201d a pause, \u201csorry, trying, some new chocolate pastries.\u00a0 At least according to my sister.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOoh, sounds good,\u201d Lynn said suddenly wishing she was there before refocusing on her call.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is good,\u201d Elsa said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI got your text about your parents,\u201d Lynn said, feeling strange not calling them the king and queen.<\/p>\n

\u201cAh, yeah, mom was supportive, dad, well, now that I think about it, he just wants the best for me,\u201d Elsa said.\u00a0 \u201cSo, what\u2019s up that you had to call me?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, you see, its about my uncle,\u201d Lynn finally said unsure about how to actually tell her this bit of information.\u00a0 She decided to tell her everything.<\/p>\n

*****<\/p>\n

Elsa fiddled with the pastry after listening to Lynn talk of her uncle.\u00a0 She knew it could be a problem if word got out.\u00a0 But, it seemed strange, and there had been no contact between the two until her parents had been killed.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything all right?\u201d Anna asked.\u00a0 \u201cYou two aren\u2019t fighting again?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat?\u00a0 No, not what you\u2019re thinking,\u201d Elsa said to her.\u00a0 \u201cBut there is a problem which neither of us can control.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat could be that big of a problem?\u201d Anna asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think, I should tell dad this one instead,\u201d Elsa said, jumping up from the chair and out of the kitchen.<\/p>\n

She was nervous now about telling her father about this information, he might force the relationship off.\u00a0 She hoped not.\u00a0 Making her way back into her parent\u2019s room she noticed they were still there.<\/p>\n

\u201cElsa, something wrong?\u201d her mother asked.<\/p>\n

Elsa fiddled with her hands trying to figure out a way to tell them.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou and Lynn didn\u2019t have a fight?\u201d her father said.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, been there done that, don\u2019t want to do that again,\u201d she said seeing a look of surprise on his face.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, that\u2019s good, but you\u2019re very nervous, go on ahead and tell me what it is and get it over with,\u201d he said to her.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll right, it about her uncle,\u201d Elsa said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat about her uncle?\u201d her father asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, you see he\u2019s Ben Trezety.\u201d<\/p>\n
