"Are you ready sis?" Elsa poked her head into Anna's room that afternoon. The redhead was across the room staring at her dress in the mirror, tilting her head from side to side in contemplation. "Ugh you look great Anna, would you come down to the party already?"

"Do you think I should wear a different color?" Anna asked, her eyes never leaving the mirror.

"Why? Green is like an Anna trademark." Elsa laughed as she walked to her sister.

"Yes, you are right; I will stick with this one. Are you excited Els? This party was such a good idea."

"It was your idea…"

"I know, that's why I'm reminding you how good an idea it was. I mean we had to celebrate the one year anniversary of your coronation. So why not have a party?"

"Why not indeed…" Elsa smiled at her eager sibling's behaviour.

The ball was loud and crowded much to Elsa's dismay. She stood stock still by her throne as she watched her sister be passed around from dance partner to dance partner. She rang her hands in front of her, a nervous tick she had developed as a child. The music wound down as Anna stumbled back to the blonde with a smile plastered on her freckled face.

"Having fun?" Elsa smiled at the girl as she took her place next to her elder sister.

"Yes, this is so nice. Are you having fun?" Anna giggled.

"You know me, fun fun fun." The girls laughed as the music started back up and people began to dance again. The royals started to be approached by dignitaries again now that both girls were unoccupied. They shook hands and made nice for what seemed like an hour with no deviation, until one couple approached the Queen and Princess. The man was tall and his dusty brown hair fell on his forehead in an almost sloppy way. His suit was nicely tailored and he had deep brown eyes. Even with this attractive man shaking her hand and introducing himself as Prince Henry of something or other, Elsa couldn't seem to tear her eyes away from the woman on his arm. The girl, who stood a good two inches taller than herself, had dark hair that fell to her shoulders and chocolate brown eyes. The smile that painted her red lips gave Elsa butterflies in her stomach as the man introduced this amazing girl.

"This is my fiancée Princess Andrea of Decipio." Henry gestured to the girl as she extended her hand to Anna and then Elsa. Elsa held onto the warm hand and shook gently, eyes never leaving the brown pair in front of her.

"It's nice to meet you both. Henry and I have heard so much about you from his mother. I believe you knew her, Queen Lily of Cortane?" the new princess said politely.

"Cortane?" Anna asked curiously.

"Yes that's Henrys kingdom." Andrea explained.

"Soon to be your kingdom as well my love." Henry chuckled.

"Yes I suppose so. Well anyway the Queen was saying that she used to do business with your father and was hoping that we could set up a trade agreement while we are here for the celebration." Elsa finally snapped out of her trance at the girls words.

"Yes, yes why don't you come by my study tomorrow and we can discuss this more. Are you staying here in the castle?" Elsa offered as she finally took her eyes off the Princess.

"Yes your staff was kind enough to offer me and the Princess housing for the duration of our trip." The young Prince said with a charming smile.

"Well then stop by anytime." Elsa bid them farewell and the couple disappeared back into the crowd.

"Well…what was that Els?" Anna asked as she raised one eyebrow.

"I don't know what you are referring too." Elsa said with an innocent look to her sister.

"Oh come on, you could barely contain yourself around him."

"Him?"

"Prince Henry. Ugh it is so like you to fall for the taken ones." Anna laughed and lightly punched the queen's arm.

"No, I don't like him. And I could contain myself thank you very much." Elsa crossed her arms and pouted a little at her brat of a sister. She didn't know how to tell Anna that it wasn't the Prince she was looking at…

The castle was bustling the next day because of all the royal company that was staying within its walls. Because most of the guests from the party came from out of town, the Queen had opened up the castles many guest rooms for their use. With all the excitement of the party the night before you would think everyone would have slept like babies and that was the case for most, the exception being the Queen of course. Elsa stared at her ceiling all night, it was only when the sun started to peak over the mountain tops did she push all confusing thoughts about certain guests out of her head and pull herself out of bed. Going about her normal business proved to be easier said than done that day, and as the blonde sat at her desk and attempted to finish some overdue paperwork her mind began to wander back to the ball last night. Why did this girl catch her attention so? Sure she was a beautiful woman but she was just that, a woman; and an engaged one at that. But Elsa still found herself waiting for the moment the girl came to discuss trade agreements. The moment Elsa had hoped for finally came when she heard a knock on her study door.

"Come in." Elsa called from behind her desk. The door crept open and a dusty brown head poked itself in to the old room.

"Yoo hoo, Good morning Queen Elsa. We are here to talk about that trade agreement that we spoke of last night." Prince Henry smiled happily as he was followed into the room by the true object of Elsa's joy. Andrea smiled at the woman as she and her fiancé took seats in front of the desk.

"Yes very well, first things first. What tradable goods does your kingdom require?" the conversation got boring and Elsa had to fight to keep her eyes at an acceptable level when talking to the Princess seeing as her dress had a rather swooping neckline. After a few hours of negotiations the group decided to call it quits for the day.

"Well we were supposed to leave back to Cortane tonight but seeing as these negotiations are going to take a few days' time we would like to ask your permission to stay in the castle and get to know Arendelle for a few days." Andrea asked as they stood and shook hands.

"Well of course, our facilities our open for your use. Feel free to roam." Elsa put on a fake smile as she wondered how she was going to survive more days of being around this girl.
