The incisive noise of the crow's squawking woke Elsa from her sleep. Tiny snowflakes fluttered from her eyelashes as turquoise eyes slowly turned toward the gray sky. Feeling, not the cold, but the soft snow beneath her, she sat up just barely affected by her nakedness.

"I must have passed out," she concluded, pulling herself to stand up right.

More snow fell from her skin. The squawking seemed to grow louder. She exhaled and watched the warm air come out in a puff. Her ears trained in on the sounds of the forest, before she sprinted into a run.

Moving swiftly between the trees, her blonde hair flowed effortlessly behind her. She would have to comb out all the leaves and dirt while she showered, if she made it home with time to spare.

Her stomach grumbled, but she thought miserably, "Guess I'll have to forgo breakfast."

Seeing her cabin come into view, she pounded her feet harder into the ground to bring her home. The second she slipped passed the sliding glass door, a body of red fur and bundle of energy crashed into her ankles.

"Hello Anna. Were you a good girl-" Elsa started, but cut off at the sight of the paw prints on the floor.

The paw prints made in what she could only guess was chocolate. Anna had a terrible ability for accessing the stuff no matter how high Elsa placed it.

"Oh Anna," Elsa sighed.

But as she looked down at her pup, Anna's amber eyes big and round and worrisome, Elsa didn't scold Anna for her nervous habit. Elsa should have known the small dog would be beside herself all by her lonesome in the house.

"I'm sorry I didn't come home," Elsa apologized.

She picked up her loving companion, who was easily placated with the show of affection. Taking her into their room, she placed Anna on the center of their bed and walked toward the bathroom. Anna began howling instantly.

"Hey now, none of that," Elsa scolded, not feeling that remorseful.

Anna stopped howling, but put her head between her paws whilst whimpering softly. Elsa clicked her tongue at her dog's antics but continued grabbing things for the day.

"I have to shower now or else I won't make it to work on time," Elsa spoke with patience.

Anna's eyes looked up at her owner and stayed that way even when Anna rolled on her back, wagging her head for a belly rub. Elsa obliged her a tiny pat before placing her underwear and jeans next to Anna on the mattress.

"And don't even think I've forgotten about that mess you made. Your vet is going to think I intentionally feed you chocolate." Elsa called out from the bathroom, turning on the water to get warm.

Anna's tail wagged on the bed, making little thumps on the mattress. Elsa's clothes slightly shifted out of their neat, folded state.

Elsa exited the bathroom and pulled out from her closet, two long sleeve turtlenecks: one dark teal and the other one maroon. She held up each for Anna to look upon but the puppy had closed her eyes, despite of her upturned position.

"Come on girl, don't you want to help me get ready?"

Anna merely sneezed, her tongue popping out to hang from her mouth. Elsa could barely contain her laugh before stepping over to kneel at the puppy's eye level. Anna rolled back onto her stomach and her tail wagged eagerly.

Elsa scratched the top of Anna's head and whispered, "If only I could hide myself away with you in this cabin."

Anna licked Elsa's nose and panted happily. Elsa laughed again before kissing Anna on the top of her head and placed the two turtlenecks on the bed. Anna crawled on top of the teal one and rolled around until the sweater was engulfed in dog fur.

"Maroon, it is." Elsa proclaimed, picking up the still clean sweater and placing it over a chair, before jumping into her hot shower.
