([AN: Book Cover credit goes to UKthewhitewolf for the background, wikia for the Elsa pic, and I [the author] don't know who had made the pic of the guy. If you, dear reader, DO know, please tell me so I could credit him/her. Anyways, sorry if the story's description seemed much more interesting than this prologue! This is my first time writing a Frozen FF and I want to show the improvement of Elsa and Anna's relationship but that won't be the main focus here. If you stay a little longer, though, you just might find out what in the world this story is about. Please tell me what you think! Comment, review, favorite, follow!

Prologue:
The heat beat gently against the cobblestoned streets as the kingdom of Arendelle bustled with life. Though most stores and taverns were closed, the people of Arendelle flocked the streets as they made their way into the castle. Though it was normal for the people of Arendelle to visit the castle—it had been two years since the Incident, as they have started to call it—they never seemed to tire of the excitement entering its four walls seemed to bring. What made this moment even more exciting, though, was the enticement of an announcement. An announcement was to be made that morning by the royals and the people were all buzzing with excitement over what it could be.
Rumors and gossip moved from ear to ear as people tried to guess what the big announcement was. Some suggested that the queen was pregnant—how that was possible, nobody knew—while others said that it was one of the royals' birthdays. No one knew the true reason, and this mystery is what kept the people so motivated.
In the castle, the inhabitants were just as animated. Servants and staff flew in and out of rooms, chattering and celebrating the news they already knew. Those unaware tried to catch whatever word came their way. Even the princess and queen were enthusiastically talking about it as they made their way to their "Announcement Balcony" as Princess Anna had teasingly named it.
"I just can't believe it," Anna sighed dreamily.
"Well, you better start believing it," Elsa smirked slightly, nudging her sister playfully before standing in front of the enormous double doors. She smoothed down the wrinkles off her dress and stood straight, reclaiming her regal, poised façade. She glanced at how Anna looked and noticed the little smudge of chocolate on the shoulder of her dress.
Anna looked down, trying to find whatever it was that her sister had noticed and gasped exaggeratedly at the dirt. An embarrassed blush spread across her cheeks and she scratched at the smudge with her fingers.
"It must have spilled on me when I had gotten a quick bite earlier," she scratched at the dirt, getting more and more frustrated at the empty results. "Ugh! It won't get off."
"Just," Elsa placed a gentle hand on hers, stopping her from scratching off the cloth completely. "Let's just try to cover it."
Anna's hand fell limply to her side as she nodded and gave in to her sister's suggestion. "Alright, what did you have in mind?"
Elsa smirked at her sister as she waved her hand over the spot of dirt. Cold, beautiful wisps of ice shot out of her hand, gently tangling itself into Anna's dress and turning into a simple but beautiful snow lily over the smudge. It completely covered the dirt, but Anna's shoulder quickly grew cold.
"Okay," she shuddered at the cold feeling on her shoulder and pushed open the doors leading to the balcony. "Let's get this over with."
