Anna burst up from her pillow, nearly hitting her head against the edge of the bed frame. Her blue eyes were wide, searching the room for what caused the sudden noise. Sunlight streamed in through the window and danced across the floor, though it had yet to reach Anna's eyes before the sound came.
Searching her eyes across the room, she saw nothing at all out of the ordinary. Everything was exactly as she had left it the night before, even though the end of it was a blur. Anna had collapsed into her bed and slept in her dress from the day before after a long day of entertaining visitors, two of whom had been fast paced twins, both small girls of the age of five. But Anna was alone - May and June were not inside her room. Still, the idea that they were the ones causing the noise remained lodged in her mind.
The sound happened once more - a knock that came three times in a row, a steady thumping. Her eyes shot towards the door.
Funny, Anna thought, forcing herself out of bed. I would have thought the two girls were the type to burst into rooms.
Seeing her hair in the mirror, she quickly made it look decent before opening the door.
For a moment, Anna did not move. Her eyes were wide, and she had to wonder if what she was seeing was correct. She blinked a few times, but her sister remained standing at the door.
"Anna," Elsa said, "is something wrong?" She stiffened.
Anna shook her head. "No, no, everything is fine. I just thought you would be someone else."
Elsa raised a blond eyebrow. "Disappointed in seeing me?" Her tone was light, and Anna could not help but laugh.
"Actually, I'm really glad to see you. So, what do you need?"
"To ask you something." Elsa took a few deep breaths. "I've actually wanted to ask you this for a while."
"What?" Anna bit her lip.
"Do you want to build a snowman?"
Anna froze, unsure of what to do. Would a simple nod work? Or a yes?
In the end, she did neither and wrapped her arms around Elsa, engulfing her in a warm hug. "You already know my answer, Elsa."
