Hello! After following and observing many of my favourite Fanfics I decided I wanted to try! This is my first little short story, and I'd appreciate it if people could critique it and help me improve. Thanks!

"Oh my Anna.. you look just like a chipmunk."

Elsa smiled as Anna looked up from where she was eating, her red cheeks stretched with her breakfast. She never did pay attention during her etiquette courses..

In a single big gulp, Anna downed her eggs. "Thanks! I've always thought chipmunks are cute. I mean, look at them! They're so silly when they stuff their faces full of acorns because they look just like this (Anna comically puffed out her cheeks) but THEY'RE SO ADORABLE! ...Wait, was that a compliment? That was a compliment right?"

So much has changed, Elsa thought. In reality, only a few days have passed since The Great Winter; yet it felt like weeks. She could hardly believe that in the time span of a few days she has witnessed (and been responsible for) both the freezing and thawing of Arendelle, and the death and rebirth of her long estranged sister.

Anna... Elsa looked over at her sister, who once again had her face buried in her plate, I owe you so, so much. No one else has put so much faith into me, in fact; I think you've put more faith into me than I ever have...

She looked over again at Anna and caught her trying to sneak a bar of chocolate onto her lap. Anna sheepishly smiled. Snapping the bar into two, she slid over half to Elsa.

Elsa took the chocolate and sniffed it. Biting off a square, she slowly savoured the desert. Anna however... wasn't as graceful, her cheek now once again bulging with food. "Hway whath har whoo whoahing hoo" Anna paused to swallow. "I mean, what are you going to do today Elsa?"

Elsa stood from her seat. She was about to bring her empty plate to the kitchen when Kai interrupted, "I'll take care of that your majesty. You need not worry about such trivial matters."

"Thanks Kai. You and Gerda have always been there for us when we needed you."

"I am here to serve you, your highness. It is both my pleasure and duty." Kai bowed, took the princesses' trays, and disappeared behind the kitchen doors.

Elsa beckoned to Anna. She quickly jumped up from her seat, nearly knocking it over, and skittered over. Elsa took Anna's hands in her own, she had long since discarded her gloves. Her hands were so warm and full of life. She had missed holding them... it'd been far too long since she last done so.

"Well Anna.. About what I.. I mean we.." She smiled, "...are going to do today.. I was thinking we could go to the ballroom.. Just like we used to when we were kids.."

"Okay! I'd love to go to the ballroom!" The two began walking in the hallway towards the enormous ballroom doors, hand in hand.

"Wait what are we going to do in the ballroom? Come to think of it, what did we use to do as kids? Did we dance? Elsa I don't know how to dance... I never really paid attention to my dance instructors.. was always busy making fun at his size, and I think it'd be a little awkward if we danced at this age."

Elsa chuckled, raising her hand to cover her mouth as she laughed, "No Anna, we aren't going to dance." She opened the ballroom door and stepped inside. She led Anna to the centre and lifted her foot. "We're going to play."


Ice rippled from impact and crept up the walls, reminiscent of how it did to 13 years ago. Anna's eyes widened at the sight, she could never get enough of Elsa's beautiful powers. With a thrust of her arms, a flurry shot to the ceiling and burst, releasing snowflakes everywhere and coating the ground with thick snow.

Elsa turned around and glanced at her sister. "Do you remember all those times we played outside in the snow?"

Anna nodded.

"I have never played with you in the snow outside."

A look of confusion registered on Anna's face, then almost immediately was replaced by one of realization.

"Elsa! Are you saying we played inside the palace? Are you saying that you made all the snow? Is this where we first made Olaf? Did you make the hills that we sledded on? Wait. Was it here that... um... nevermind!" She quickly covered her mouth with her hands. "Nevermind! Let's go make a-"

"Snowman, I know I know!" Smiling, Elsa gestured for Anna to calm down, "You must have asked me that over a hundred times!"

They began to make another Olaf. Elsa thought it was quite odd, she could effortlessly summon the wind and snow to conjure as many Olaf's as she'd like, yet she discovered she enjoyed manually crafting each one individually much more, so long as she was with Anna.

Stepping back to observe their partially finished golem, Elsa's brow furrowed. They could make dozens of Olafs, but she wanted this one to be unique. She thought for a moment until an idea struck her. She turned, knelt down, and began to craft with her magic.

Anna on the other hand, continued to build Olaf. She was so captivated with her work that she hadn't noticed that Elsa slipped away. After she was finally satisfied with the shape of his head, she placed the finishing touches and stepped back to admire her work. Frowning, she put her hands on her hips and said, "You know Elsa? There's something missing. This snowman just doesn't seem to be very-"

"Special? I thought you'd say that."

Anna twirled around to find Elsa, her hands were behind her back, obviously hiding something.

"Elsa what are you...? Oh Elsaaaa... Whaaat's that behind your back...?"

She giggled, "You'll see.."

Elsa shuffled over to the snowman, facing Anna the entire time while using her body to block the sight of her craftwork. Reaching the snowman, she turned around and draped something over his head and turned around for Anna to see.

Anna squealed, then laughed.

"You've made me a Kristolaf! That snow wig looks JUST like Kristoff's hair! That's so brilliant!" She lunged forward and surprised Elsa with an embrace.

"Wait till Olaf and Kristoff see this! Thank you Elsa, you're the best sister anyone could ever have..."

Elsa smiled and relaxed into the hug.

No Anna... that honour belongs to you...
