"You didn't have to, Anna. I was alright just by staying in a hotel," Hedith said as Anna takes her on a tour around the castle of Arendelle.

"Nonsense. It's the least I can do for you," she said and Olaff nodded by Hedith's other end.

"Anna always makes sure that royal visitors are taken care off in the castle. Oh and by the way, my name's Olaff and I love warm hugs!" he said as Hedith smiled at the gentle snowman.

"I'm Hedith. But I don't do hugs."

"Fair enough," the snowman giggled and one of Mavros's head licks the snowman, "Oh and who might this abnormally gigantic dog with you?"

"He's Mavros. He's a hellhound and still growing," Hedith said and Anna's curiosity was peeked by the dog.

"Amazing. The world truly has many things I have yet to know about," she said and Hedith shrugged.

"You'll get use to it."

It wasn't hard for Anna and Hedith to form a friendship. Both are just in the same age and are royalty, although Hedith has yet to ascend to the throne. Anna showed Hedith her room in the castle and Hedith thanked her before the queen left to do her royal business. 

Meanwhile, Olaff... "So how long are you staying in Arendelle?"

"As soon as I get my job done," Hedith said curtly as she puts out a book and a map on the bed while Mavros lay on the other side of the bed.

"What is your job?"

"A diplomat for my father."

"So from what kingdom are you?"

"The Underworld."

"Ohohoho! I heard it's hot in there."

"Not really. It's actually pretty cool."

"So are you staying until the wedding?"

Hedith paused and looked at Olaff with a confused expression, "Whose wedding?"

"Anna and Kristoff. Kristoff had a hard time proposing last year but Anna eventually said yes and Anna became queen while Elsa now lives in the Enchanted Forest together with the Northrundral people and it's now around five months since then and Kristoff and Anna are now getting married in two days time."

"Okay...I didn't expected you to tell me all that but I'll consider it," Hedith smiled.

"So Anna didn't told me what is your purpose for coming to Arendelle. Are you here for a vacation? I can show you to the most wonderful tourist destinations in the kingdom. You can even meet Marshmallow and my siblings. I'm sure Elsa would also love to meet you...." Olaff continued on. Hedith thought that no one will be able to match or even surpasses Dizzy's insistent chattering.

Olaff proved her wrong.

Noticing his master's discomfort with the talking snowman, Mavros' head perked up. She simply gestured her dog to the door and Mavros stood up, "How about you take Mavros to a tour around the kingdom? He'd like to know more about Arendelle."

"Oh sure. How about you?" Olaff asked as he follows Mavros to the door.

"I'm tired from the trip. I'm going to sleep for a while," she lied, faking a yawn.

"Okay! Happy sleeping! Come on, big doggy! I will introduce you to Sven."

Olaff's voice grew farther and farther away once Hedith closed the doors. She have to give Mavros extra snacks for that later. For now, she would be planning on her next actions.

After waking up from her nap -- she didn't mean to actually doze off  -- she received a message coming from Uma. It turns out, Uma and her crew took a stop in Arendelle and got a gist of her current location from Mal. She quickly changed to a blue tank top, black flannel and pair of faded jeans before leaving the castle to meet her and Harry in the port.

"Yo, what's up? My, you look rocking," Uma greeted as Hedith went into her offered hug. Harry ruffled her hair and chuckled.

"Look at ya, lass. Growing now like a fine lady!"

"You're only three years older than me, Harry," Hedith deadpanned, fixing her hair. Good thing today is one of those days that Hedith just completely doesn't care about her hair being messy and down. Arendelle is pretty cold.

"Still makes a difference."

"I'm glad to see you again, guys," she fondly stated as Uma smiles.

"Well, I know that you're on a business trip but cut a little slack and join us on a pub just right over there. I'll introduce you to our crew," Uma said as she drags the younger girl under her arm.

Once the entered the pub, Hedith was greeted by partying pirates. Some are dancing and some are singing. It kinda reminds her of the days in Chip and Shrimps.

"Listen up, maties!" Harry's voice bellowed through the pub.

"This...is my sister, Hedith. Come and meet her!" Uma said, gesturing to Hedith.

The crew cheered, gleefully some raising their glass to her. Hedith cheered. Hades doesn't really allowed her alcohol even after her debut. Maybe a few sips wouldn't hurt.

Uma led her to a table that only the three of them can occupy.

"There's also another guy," Harry said, carefully. His hook swirling around.

"What another guy?"

"I see everyone's here!"

"Oh that guy," Hedith turned to the direction of the voice and came face to face with Carlos in his out of work outfit. Leather jacket, jeans and a few chains here and there in his signature color. Dude also follows him behind.

"Hey, Carlos."

"Nice seeing you here, Hedith," he cheekily greeted as he sits down next to Harry, "I met with Mavros and Olaff earlier. They said you're in town."

"Yeah, of course they did. Why are you guys here anyway?"

"I'm invited by the queen to her wedding. I may or may not be also Sven's vet," Carlos said and Dude jumps to his lap.

"And I'm his plus one."

"I don't think a dog can be a plus one," Uma bluntly said, "Me and the boys are just here for a normal stop. After we restock our supplies, we're heading out."

"You're buying," Hedith raised an eyebrow, "Pirating had gone a long way."

"We swore not to steal again," Harry said, "Pirating evolves."

"Only backwards," Hedith laughs as the waiter comes for their order.

The night was young and Hedith enjoyed it with her old and new friends from the crew. And there was a few pranks here and there, orchestrated by Hedith towards the pirates. Albeit, it was fun getting drunk for the first time but due to her heritage as a goddess, mortal alcohol doesn't affects her easily. Harry was also pretty tolerant and so was Uma. Carlos on the other hand was less fortunate.

"Oh no," Hedith muttered as he stares at Carlos's knocked out figure on their table after three mugs of beer.

"We'll take him to the ship for tonight. I don't know where his hotel is," Uma said as Harry carry Carlos to his side, "Are you alright walking right back?"

"I'm fine. I'm completely sober," she said, truthfully. Maybe Olympus alcohol would have more of an effect on her that's why Hades doesn't let her have some, but Arendellan alcohol is still something that she would never forget.

Hedith walks away from the pub and went back to the palace on her own. By the gate stood Mavros and Olaff. The snowman sitting Mavros' large tail. Once he spotted Hedith he smiled widely and tugged the hell hound.

"Hedith's back!"

Hedith was engulfed by a hug by the snowman and Mavros licked her.

"Wow. It's not like I was missing."

"It's passed nine and we won't take chances," Olaff said in an almost motherly fashion, "Anyway, Elsa's here early! You should meet her."

"Okay."

She don't know if she reeks of alcohol but she went to meet the oldest Arendellan royalty in the living room with the queen, her soon-to-be brother-in-law and a...reindeer.

"Oh, Elsa! There she is," Anna said, gesturing to Hedith. She bowed in courtesy and Elsa did the same.

"Princess Hedith of the Underworld. Pleasure to meet you, Queen Elsa," she said and the latter seems taken aback.

"I-I'm not the Queen anymore. Elsa is fine," she stated, awkwardly before clearing her throat and regains her composure.

"Do you smell alcohol?" Kristoff wondered and Hedith sheepishly laughed.

"I went out with a friend. But I'm completely sober," she assured them.

"I wish that you are successful on your mission," Elsa said and Hedith smiled.

"Thank you. That is much appreciated."

Unbeknownst to the royalties, a dark shadow looms in the highest tower of the castle. Watching and being careful on the daughter of Hades.

Be a responsible drinker, everyone. That's all.
