Prompt 1: One dress
Based on the screenplay for Frozen, especially the line "Anna can't help but be struck by Elsa's beauty" when they meet in Elsa's ice palace for the first time.
"Elsa, why do you wear that same ice dress every day?" Anna asked as they walked together.
"Well, technically it's not exactly the same one. I renew it and refresh it whenever it begins to fade or weaken," Elsa replied.
"That's not what I meant and you know it," Anna grumbled, nudging Elsa with her elbow. "You could make any number of styles or designs. You're incredibly creative, Elsa. So… why wear only this one in particular?"
"It's my favorite," Elsa replied simply, offering a small smile to her sister. "I know I could make others, but this one is special."
"How so?" Anna pressed curiously. Elsa took a deep breath and stopped walking, recognizing that Anna wasn't going to drop the topic.
"I made it on a whim, you know. Right after I finished building the castle in the mountains. I just felt so free, and I wanted even my appearance to reflect that. I knew it might be considered a bit scandalous, but I didn't think it would matter. I didn't think anyone would ever see me in it. But then you… you showed up and the look on your face when you saw me…" Elsa trailed off and swallowed hard. "It was the first time I've ever felt beautiful." Anna's eyes softened as she saw Elsa struggle with painful vulnerability. She reached for Elsa's hands and took them in her own to reassure her.
"S-So I wear this one dress to remember what it felt like," Elsa continued quietly, "to have someone look at me like that. It helps me find the confidence I need in order to lead this country well. I have you to thank for that, Anna. You give me strength. I love you." Anna couldn't help herself. Her face contorted with adoration and she swept her sister up into a tight embrace. The coolness of Elsa's dress made her fingertips tingle, but the warmth of her sister's blushing cheek against her own made for an interesting contrast of temperature. Anna giggled at the strange sensation and stepped back to look at Elsa once more.
"I love you too," she murmured fondly. "I'm glad you told me about your dress. I will admit you took my breath away when I first saw you. Because you were – are – absolutely gorgeous. And so very 'beautifuller', too," she said with a smirk. She took Elsa's hand as the queen laughed and laced their fingers together as they continued their walk.
