"You know you're going to have to eventually pick something to wear, Princess."

"I know! I know! I er, just want to make sure that whatever I pick out is the absolute best outfit ever worn." Anna had slept in and to make matters even worse, was now spending an absurd amount of time picking out her outfit.

"Princess, this is not like you," admitted her personal aid. Truth be told, Anna was usually not the person to spend more than 20 seconds picking out what she would wear, but today was different. Today was special. This was the first breakfast her and Elsa were going to share together as sisters in over a decade. The last time her and Elsa ate a meal together, was before the nearly 15 year gap when her sister isolated herself from the rest of the world. But all of that was over. Things were back to normal... for the most part.

"I want to look perfect for the royal banquet!"

"You mean breakfast with the queen?"

"Yes, er, my sister!" Anna came to terms that she was probably never going to find something she actually thought was going to impress Elsa, and decided to just wear what she usually would wear. Slipping on her green gown, embedded with yellow lace lining the trim, with a simple diamond pattern decorating the chest. It was a simple dress, but it would be suitable for the strenuous task of eating breakfast.

"Are you ready, Princess?"

"Yes, let's go!" replied Anna eagerly, though she never had become accustomed to actually being called Princess by the hired hands, even years after the fact.

"Good morning, Anna!" welcomed Elsa, calling out from the other side of the ballroom.

"Good morning, your majesty! You know, don't you think the ballroom is a bit big? This table could sit over 100 people. And there's just, like, two of us."

"It's a bit colossal, yes, I agree. It was a bit overwhelming the first time I glanced at it. Usually, I would eat breakfast by myself in my own quarters."

"Yeah, I know! For 10 years! How does it feel in the real world Elsa?" queried Anna, grinning as she taunted her sister lightly.

"Are people in the real world so late to breakfast every day or is this merely a freak occurrence?"

Anna chuckled. "Sorry your majesty! I only wanted to look as good as I possibly could, so I was looking through my entire wardrobe."

"Well, the effort was well spent," complimented Elsa, drawing an even wider grin from Anna. She was honored to receive a compliment from the usually detached sister she was so desperately trying to impress. Elsa continued, "and calling me your majesty, is completely unnecessary. I'm just Elsa, to you."

"Of course Elsa!" Anna took a seat beside her sister, the only two figures seated at this humongous table. "Speaking of which, what's on the agenda today? You cook up another ice pond for us to skate on? Maybe we can finally make that snowman together? Oh, hey, even better, we can just spend some time together in the castle! Maybe hot chocolate!"

"Unfortunately that gesture would be lost on me, Anna, because the heat of the chocolate would barely register to me anyway." Elsa grew more solemn, straightening her position in her chair. "And besides, I have work to do. I have a meeting with the heir from another nation. Arrendale does trading with many other kingdoms, and now that I'm, er, more sociable, I think the best thing to do is to recognize my status as queen to the fullest degree."

"Which means... ?"

"Which means unfortunately you will have to spend today with your, er, boyfriend, because I have work."

"Oh." Anna was gravely disappointed.

"Yes, I'm sorry Anna. And you took so long getting ready, that I have already eaten my entire breakfast. I waited just so I could tell you this myself and to see you briefly."

"I see."

"Goodbye Anna. Nice seeing you again."

And before she even knew it, Elsa was greeted by her own personal servants who briefed her on her schedule for that day, leaving Anna absent at the gargantuan table. "Bye... Elsa." Her words fell on deaf ears. "At least she... liked my dress. I think."
