I don't own the DP or Frozen characters. I only own this story and half credit goes to Toa Naruto.
Author's Note: All right, I wanted to make something very clear. To the Sultan guest reviewer who didn't want me to reply to them, instead of acting like I'm a total idiot and saying: "AMITY PARK IS IN ILLINOIS NOT INDIANA! LOOK IT UP ON DP WIKI!" watch Phantom Planet. According to a friend of mine, looking carefully in that episode when they zoom out of Amity Park, it looks like the city is in Indiana, NOT Illinois. Also, don't think the DP wiki is the sole purpose to get information because wiki is made of info people THINK that went on DP. So, wiki versus the cartoon itself? Yeah, I'm going for Indiana. So quit with the angry anon reviews. Next time, you have the gall to call me out like that, make an account so I can talk to you instead of talking to you like this. Thank you very much.
"Danny, are you sure you got all that? Danny? Danny!"
The boy gasped as he snapped to attention. His older sister, Jazz, gave him a look of disapproval. "Uh yeah! It was in…1984? Right?" he quickly answered, rubbing his messy black hair.
Jasmine Fenton, also known as Jazz, sighed and placed two fingers on the bridge of her nose, "This isn't a history question. We're working on math problems."
"…Right. Of course we are." said Danny, all the while trying to stifle a yawn. His sister, of course, noticed it right away.
"Have you been getting enough sleep? You look tired." The two were sitting at the kitchen table, and were in the middle of one of their study sessions. The eldest Fenton sibling was trying to help the youngest with boosting his grades, but so far, it wasn't going so well. The reason for their slow progress wasn't too hard to figure out, considering that Danny came close to falling asleep every few minutes. This worried Jazz to no end. Ever since Vlad Masters became mayor of Amity Park, Danny had been having problems; way more then what he had to deal with from the past year. And Vlad certainly wasn't making things any easier for her brother.
"It's nothing, Jazz." Danny said, standing up to stretch the kinks out of his arms.
Jazz was unconvinced by her sibling's denial, as she recalled how he acted before she knew his secret, which was the same way he was behaving now. It sort of hurt that he was still reluctant to talk to her, since she really cared about her little brother. After all, she was now a senior and was going off to college next year, and wouldn't be able to spend as much time as she used to. Danny was just starting his sophomore year, but considering how little progress the studying was going, things weren't looking good for the "halfa".
The redhead was one of the few people to know of her brother's deepest secret: Danny Fenton was the notorious ghost boy of Amity Park, Danny Phantom. Gaining his powers by accident from their parents' ghost portal, Danny had since then taken it upon himself to fight off the ghosts that dared to escape through the portal, and try to take over the world. It was a very hard task, considering the young teenager had been only fourteen at the time. And now that he was a year older, he had to deal with even crazier ghosts, as well as worry about passing even harder classes, and that was without having to worry about dealing with whatever plan Vlad came up with, or when his alter ego, Vlad Plasmius, made an appearance.
"Please don't try to hide your problems from me, Danny. I can tell that you definitely aren't getting enough sleep. Just tell me what's bothering you, maybe I can help." Her tone was both stern, and concerned at the same time.
Danny opened his mouth to argue, but he knew it would be useless trying to deny it even further. He let out a deep sigh before looking back at Jazz, who was waiting patiently for him to speak.
"Okay, you've got me there." he said, tiredly. "The ghost attacks have been getting really hard to deal with lately, and it's been taking me longer to capture them before they cause too much damage. Plus, all of this schoolwork isn't exactly helping me keep me calm, either." He slumped back into his seat, no longer attempting to hide his exhaustion. "I just don't know, Jazz. Can I even make it through another year? I mean, I'm a teenager; I should be worried about passing tests, or getting a date with a girl. Tch, but I already know that's not going to happen any time soon."
"The tests?"
"No. Getting any girl to even consider going out with me." He ran his fingers through his hair, trying to relieve some of the stress he was feeling. "This year would be so much more bearable for me if I could just do something else besides keeping this town safe. And before you say anything, homework doesn't count."
Jazz frowned pensively, trying in vain to think of a way to help her brother. She knew that Danny's secret responsibilities were taxing on him; she didn't think that she would've lasted a day in his shoes. Refocusing her attention on the depressed boy beside her, she patted her brother on the back to show her support.
"I understand what you're going through, little bro. Really, I do." she said. "And I wish that I could find some way to help, but I've never faced half of the things that you have. But don't worry, I'm sure something will come up in the future; you can never know for certain what the next day will bring. Right now, you've got to try and focus on this math. Mom and Dad will kill you if you don't keep your grades up."
"Yeah. Sure." Danny sighed, even though he knew that his sister was right. He didn't mean to complain so often, but considering the life that he had, he figured that he had the right to occasionally gripe about things that irked him. Thinking back to the personal promise he made to himself at the start of the school year, he began to wonder if he could actually keep it. He was serious about doing something fun on top of keeping Amity Park safe, but was that even possible? It wasn't that he wanted to stop being Danny Phantom. Hell, he loved having his powers, even if he would've been content with his life if he had never gotten them in the first place. More to the point, he could've easily ignored the countless ghosts that escaped from the Ghost Zone, and let someone else take care of the mess. But he knew that he could never do that, as he felt that it was his duty to ensure that the world remained safe.
Nonetheless, Danny had every intention of keeping his goal, he just wished that it wasn't so hard. Sure, he had Sam, Tucker, Jazz, and to some extent a much friendlier Valerie, there to support him, but it just wasn't the same. If only there were someone his own age that knew of the hardships that he constantly went through; someone that he could easily relate to. He almost wanted to laugh of the absurdity of such a thing happening to him anytime soon, before he attempted to solve the math problem that was proving to be quite the hassle to figure out.
"Elsa! Elsa! Mom and Dad wanna see you!"
"Alright, alright, hold on, Anna. I'll be there in a moment."
A twelve-year-old girl with strawberry blonde hair tied into braided pigtails giggled before she rushed out of the room. Another girl, three years older than Anna, got up from her desk and made her way to the main throne room. Unlike the younger girl, her hair was platinum blonde, and was tied in a tight braided bun. Seeing that the older girl was following her, Anna continued to rush on ahead, her pigtails flying out from behind her. Elsa, on the other hand, calmly walked down the hallway with the elegance and grace of a sophisticated young lady. These two girls were sisters, and princesses, to a modern kingdom known as Arendelle. As they entered the throne room, they saw their parents, King Agdar and Queen Idun, quietly discussing something important. They stopped their conversation, however, when they heard their daughters come walking in.
"Mother, Father, you wanted to see me?" Elsa asked casually, her hands clasped together in front of her.
"Yes, Elsa, we did. You see, your mother and I have been discussing of what to do when the time comes for you to become Queen of Arendelle." responded Agdar, as he rose from his throne and walked over to his daughter.
"What? You mean, right now?" Anna asked, surprised at the thought.
Idun laughed gently, "No, Anna, not now."
"You see, Elsa, a queen must be prepared for more than just ruling a kingdom." continued Agdar. "You must learn to understand what is best for the commonwealth, and take action accordingly; to keep a level head during catastrophes and natural disasters. Not to mention, we will have to eventually prepare the kingdom when it comes time to reveal a certain…attribute about you." An awkward silence fell over the room, but Elsa knew what her father was referring to.
"You mean my powers..." She looked down at her hands, and watched as snowflakes began to emerge.
Elsa was by no means an ordinary princess. On the day that she was born, her parents were shocked to discover that she had inherited the power to control ice and snow from her father's side of the family. Before the king was even born, a witch had cursed his father with cryokinetic powers that completely changed how he lived his life as punishment for ruling Arendelle through cruelty and intimidation. As Agdar grew into a man, and became the next king after his predecessor passed away, he had feared that he would inherit his father's curse. He was extremely relieved when he showed no signs of developing cryokinetic powers of his own, and worked hard to regain his family's lost honor. But his worries soon returned after their first daughter was born, and proved that the curse had simply skipped a generation. The young girl tried to keep her abilities under control, but the process was extremely difficult. It was only thanks to the advice from a wise old troll that she was able restrain her powers to an extent that she could keep them a secret from everyone, with the sole exception being her parents and Anna.
With the love and support of her family, Elsa was able to live a fairly normal life. She and Anna were taught by the best teachers Arendelle had to offer, and spent time together doing the things that normal sisters usually did: play games, use computers, and even watch television. But even after fifteen years of disciplined training, Elsa was still afraid that she might hurt someone if she lost control, even for an instant. To ensure such an incident never occurred, she kept herself confined to the castle, despite her desire to make more friends.
"Yes, Elsa." replied Agdar calmly, making Elsa glance back at him. That's why your mother and I have been trying to think of the best way to get over your social anxiety problems, and to help you learn how to interact with people. Being a ruler of a kingdom would require you talking to with several people that you've never met before."
"Oh! I have an idea!" Anna piped up, causing her family to turn toward her. "We can go somewhere new, and enroll in a public school! It'll be the perfect way to help her deal with being in a more social environment, and Elsa might even get to make some friends her own age! "
Agdar chuckled while shaking his head at the very notion. "Anna, dear, I appreciate you wanting to help, but that would be too much of a risk. It just wouldn't be fair to your sister if we just place her in such a stress-inducing situation like public school."
"But Anna's got a point, Father." Elsa suddenly said, bringing her family's attention back to the teenage princess. "I've always longed to go outside the castle and meet new people, and this may be my only chance to do so. Furthermore, this could be just the thing that I need to better improve social skills. I know that you and Mother have been so supportive of me, Father, but I simply can't become an exceptional ruler if I stayed holed up in the palace all my life."
The Arendellean king and queen became silent as they looked to one another, as if they were having a telepathic conversation. They then turned back to face at their daughter, making her somewhat nervous of their gaze.
"Are you sure that you have your powers under control, Elsa?" her father finally asked.
Hope shining in her blue eyes, Elsa smiled softly. "I think I do, for the most part, anyways. As long as I keep calm, I can actually touch things without them unintentionally freezing."
"I see." Agdar adopted a serious expression. "You do realize that if anyone were to find out that you are a princess attending a public school, the paparazzi will be on you in a heartbeat, and that's not including the ones that we have here in Arendelle."
"Which is why we must not let anyone know of this plan, dear. If we want this plan to work out, no one must know of Elsa's royal status." said Idun, sending her eldest daughter a warm smile.
"Hold on, Elsa gets to go traveling, but not me? That's not fair, I want to see new places, too!" Anna interjected with a pout. She always hated being left out.
The royal couple just laughed warmly. "Don't worry, Anna, you may come with your sister and me, too." answered the queen.
"Wait, you're not coming too, Father?" asked Elsa.
The king shook his head. "I'm afraid I cannot, my daughter. Someone needs to stay behind to look after the kingdom, after all. But, if you three are going to be moving to attend school abroad, I must know which country you are all planning on traveling to, so that we can make the necessary arrangements."
"The United States might be our best option, dear. Their school year has just recently started, and having our daughters experience what it's like to attend American public school will be a great learning experience for them." Idun pointed out, to which her husband nodded approvingly.
"If that's the case, then which school would be the best choice, and in what state?"
"I already know of a school that we could go to, Father. It's in a town that I've always dreamed of visiting." The platinum blonde smiled at Anna, who was beaming widely.
"That's excellent, Elsa. What is this town called, and where is it located?" her mother asked, happy to hear her elder daughter taking the initiative.
There was a brief spell of silence, before Elsa spoke again. "Amity Park, Indiana."
