Anna looked gorgeus in her wedding dress, white like snow, glimmering like ice. She was floating around the room like some kind of butterfly, her eyes like green shining emeralds. Elsa had never seen her acting so confident. Anna had always been shy, maybe a little clumsy. Okay, perhaps not just a little. And yet, on that day she did look like the princess she was. It was her wedding's day, afterall.

Yep, it was a bit different for the guests who didn't look much comfortable surrounded by cheerful little Rocktrolls and a talking snowman.

"Gran Pabbie would be very upset if we didn't invite him", those had been Anna's words to her sister, while looking at her with her big Bambi eyes.

And if trolls had to be there, so had Olaf. "It would be unfair", had highlighted Anna.

Even Kristoff seemed a bit unconfortable in his precious suite made of silk. He wasn't much for smart clothes. After all, he had been spending his whole life with a bunch of trolls and a reindeer. But he was lovable, because, after all, he was doing that only because of Anna. She really cared about a refined ceremony at court; wanted to show people her happiness. That was something good about Kristoff, he had never tried to steal her kingdom, so he was much better from last Anna's fiance.

Violins were playing their sweet melody, which was blowing gently across the rooms, like a soft breeze. Elsa was enjoying the view from above, sitten on her throne. She had never really thought to deserve that kind of happiness, so true and strong.

"Mather, Father", she thought."How I wish you were here".

Anna suddenly swooped on her, taking away her momentary melancholy.

-Elsa! Elsa!- Anna was trying hard not to speak out loud, but she was totally failing.-Do you realize? I'm married! MARRIED!- she started jumping and clapping her hands.

Elsa smiled, full of love.-I'm really happy for you.-

-Can you believe it? No way! I'm married. This can't be real. Perhaps it's just a dream. Elsa, please pinch me. No, wait, I'll do it. Ouch! Yep, I'm awake. Not dreaming at all. I'm awake and married, take a look at the ring. Isn't it the most amazing thing you've ever seen? Kristoff made it. He used ice. Look how it shines...-

-You showed it to me hundreds of times...- Elsa laughed, keeping her usual composure, so different from her sister's overwhelming cheerfulness.

-I know, but I'm sure there's something you've missed. Me, for instance, everytime I look at it I see something new. Do you understand me? Here, you see, if I bring it near to my eyes and I turn it this way, so that moon can light it... Well, perhaps I should get closer to the wingow... No, nevermind, it works like this also. Here, you see? It's looking transparent...-

-Anna, I know ice too- smiled the queen.

-Of course you do! Silly me! It's just that ... I'm so happy and... and...- Anna was purple and seemed about to blow up, when the Count Martinez got into the conversation. He looked quite upset.-Your majesty, I'm sorry to interrupt but... look at my blouse... Look what those trolls have done!- said the man, with a strong Spanish accent..

Elsa almost laughed when she saw the tear-shaped bite on the Count's blouse.

-I'm really sorry, Count Martinez. Arrendelle will buy a new blouse to you.

Count looked like he was thinking about that for a while, than he bowed and went away.

Elsa sighed, amused.

-Oh, Elsa. I'm soo sorry. Maybe I shouldn't have invited the trolls.-

-It doesn't matter. They're my subjects as well, aren't they?-

Anna smiled again.-Well, I guess they are. Oh, Elsa, I'm so happy! You've been sitting the whole time, why don't you join us in the dance?- begged Anna, reminding Elsa of the way she asked her to play when they were just children.

-I'm fine, Anna, thank you.- Elsa smiled, sweet. -I'm not keen on dancing-

-Oh- her sister seemed quite disappointed.

-Anna- Kristoff got into their conversation. -Oh, uhm... Hi, your majesty.-

-Hi, Kristoff.-

-Anna, aiutami, ti prego. Non ce la faccio più con tutta questa gente...- si lamentò, visibilmente a disagio.
-Anna, please, help me. I can't handle all those people...- complained Kristoff, clearly uncomfortable.

-Here's another one who should have probably spent more time among humans.- laughed Anna.

-Look, Anna. This party has been great, thank you, your majesty, but haven't we been partying enough?-

Elsa smiled.-If that's what you think, then it's time to say goodbye our guests. Anna?-

-Oh, I wish this could last forever, but if that's impossible then it's fine. We can leave now as well.-

The queen nodded and got up from her trhones. -Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to thank you for joining us in such a wonderful day, to my sister the Princess Anna and Arrendelle's Master Deliverer Ice Kristoff's wedding.-

Kristoff similed proudly. Anna laughed and hugged him.

-Now, we can say the party is over, so I'd like to thank you again on behalf of my sister and my brother-in-law for your amazing presents. Have a wonderful night.-

The crowd -human and not - clapped and slowly, after honoring the queen and laying the falicitations to the spouses, went away outside the castle.

Anna hugged her sister.-Goodnight, Elsa.-

-Goodnight- smiled Elsa, a bit uncomfortable. She still hadn't got used to some kind of gestures.-Your majesty- hailed Kristoff, while following her wife to their bedroom.

Elsa was left alone with the servants and Olaf.

-I'm soo happy- claimed the snowman with his shrilling voice.- They're so lovely, don't you think? Uh? What do you think? I think they are. Besides...-

-Olaf- Elsa stopped him, laughing.-I appreciate you're still full of energy, but I'm afraid I'm not. I'm so tired.-

Olaf looked at her, keeping silence for some seconds, his little arms dangling down his body.-But you don't have to talk if you don't want to. You just need to listen.-

Elsa sighed.-I know, thank you. But I'd really love to sleep. Shall we talk tomorrow?-

Some waitress reached Elsa to escort her to her chambers. They all looked a bit unconfortable watching the talking snowman.

-Are you really that tired?- Olaf sulked.

-Oh, come on- Elsa smiled, sweet.-We humans tend to get tired.- than she kissed him on his forehead.-Goodnight, baby.-

-Goodnight- said Olaf, troting away.

Elsa came into her bedroom, dismissed her waitresses and, before sleeping, she stood for a while watching over the window.

It was summer, but at night the weather was quite cold. She couldn't feel it, of course.

She was staring at the snowy peaks of the far mountains.

Perhaps Anna was right, perhaps she had to spend more time with people.

She shaked her head. It was complicated. She still hadn't really accepted herself because she had never really understood herself, so how could she ask other people to do that? She sighed.

Even though she had always been lonely, sometimes she still hoped to find someone like her.

But it was insane.

She looked one last time to the mountains and got into bed.
