The night was young as snowflakes drifted slowly down to where two women walked together, discussing the days that they missed when growing up. Elsa wore her hair in a single plait, relaxing after a day discussing international policy. Anna wore her hair in two plaits; they bounced along with her uncoordinated movements. Queen and Princess were very much opposites, but they successfully rekindled the bond they had shared when they were children. Anna was the first to notice the snow building up around them, pointing excitedly upwards, to the descending flakes.

"Is this anything to do with you?" Anna said, her expression lit up at the snow as she saw it fall into Elsa's hair and stay, not melting but staying, adding to Elsa's glowing beauty.

Elsa laughed, covering her mouth with her hand out of habit. "No, not every flake is my fault."

"Oh, I didn't mean to accuse you of anything bad, I was just wondering." Anna looked down and tucked her hair behind her ear.

"It's okay Anna." Elsa said, putting a hand on Anna's arm. "Do you wanna build a snowman?"

Anna grinned, jumping up and down clapping. Then she stopped and put on a mockingly superior voice.

"Yet a Queen should focus her attention to her duties, she should not pla-" Anna was cut off by a snowball that was thrown directly at her face. "Oh it is on!"

They battled for a while, Anna slipping over a few times in the process, the snow grew higher and higher as they played like children in the courtyard garden. A few of the household staff smiled at the scene, the two sisters were a breath of joy to Arendelle and its people. Eventually the sisters were exhausted and lay in the snow, breathing heavily after the exercise. "We never did build that snowman." Said Anna in between breaths. "There's still time!" Elsa gracefully stood and brushed the snow off her dress, she offered her hand out to Anna to help her up. Anna took up the offer and shakily got up, stumbling into Elsa a little bit. They hugged and then quickly started constructing their snowman.

The snowman was spectacular, taller than the ones they built as kids, they sat down and looked on at their handiwork, Elsa smiled at Anna as they hugged, pleased that they were as close as they were when they were kids.

Olaf joined the two later, just as Elsa and Anna got up to leave. "Oh, Olaf." Said Elsa. "You should have joined us earlier."

"Oooo! You built a snowman, we should build another one!" He said excitedly, clapping his little stick hands together. "I'm sorry, Olaf. I have to be off to bed, I have to look at some paperwork in the morning." Elsa smiled and went back into the castle. "What about you Anna! Why don't we build a snowman?" "Olaf, I need to be in bed as well, Kristoff should be back from work by now." Anna happily pranced back to the castle, tracking snow all the way through the halls. Olaf looked at the snowman the two sisters had built. It was much bigger than him, well proportioned and built by both Anna and Elsa, out of joy. Olaf looked sad, but then realised that he had one more thing. He was alive, and so he happily returned to the castle to try and find Sven.

The next morning Elsa was awake earlier than usual, she had sat down at her desk in her room to sign various documents, she worked hard and efficiently, allowing for some work to be distributed amongst some of her closest advisors. It was boring work, but necessary. She considered getting changed into formal attire and going down for breakfast, but decided against it, opting for a more casual morning. She waited for her staff to knock, ready to request breakfast to be sent to her room, but she heard the door creaking behind her. She turned to see who would dare enter her room without permission, even Anna knocked most of the time, or she entered in an over excited fashion before quickly apologising. Whoever entered now was unwanted and overly rude. "Elsa?" the voice said.

"Uh, Olaf?" Elsa said, her voice full of annoyance. "What are you doing in my room, and this early?"

"Well," The Snowman shuffled his way fully into the room and sat by Elsa's chair. "I normally come into your room at this time, but you're normally asleep." His voice was full of innocence. Elsa's eyes widened, she placed her steel-nibbed pen down on the table.

"You do what? Olaf, you do realise that I am Queen?" Elsa rarely used her status to get one up on someone, but Olaf's habits were honestly off putting. "Don't do this again."

"But-"

"No. Olaf, leave."

The Snowman sadly made his way out of the room, leaving behind a horrified Elsa. Elsa shuddered and returned to her paperwork, yet she found that she was too distracted to focus. Eventually she made the decision to dress into suitable clothes and take breakfast with Anna and Kristoff.

Anna noticed that Elsa was distracted at breakfast, though Elsa smiled and nodded along with the conversation; she was rather distant in her eyes. Anna tried to decide if this was just Elsa's normal expression, eventually she politely asked if Kristoff would mind leaving the two of them alone.

"Where did Kristoff go?" asked Elsa, suddenly snapped back to reality.

"I sent him away so we could chat." Anna sat down in the chair next to Elsa. "You look troubled."
Elsa smiled, "Do I? I'm sorry."
There was a pause, Anna smiled at the fact Elsa was smiling, then remembered to press Elsa futher.
"There is something wrong!" Anna announced, standing up out of her chair and pointing at Elsa. "And you WILL tell me!"

Elsa laughed quietly, then looked sad.
"It's Olaf. There's something… off with him. He said he's been coming into my room at night. I," she paused and sighed. "I believe our fun with animated snowmen must come to an end."

Anna's eyes widened, Olaf was a bit strange. He had no concept of personal space, he was a snowman, but would melting him be considered murder. How much value can the life of animated snow hold, would he have to have a serious trial for treason or could he just melt away undetected?

"We had fun building normal snowmen, I guess." Said Anna, remembering the snowman they built. "And IF I ever have children, there will be no one to pay attention to Olaf."

Elsa stood up, tucking her hair behind her ear.
"Olaf must die."
She left the room swiftly, letting the door close softly behind as Anna watched her leave. From the window a snowman watched the conversation, he realised that he would soon have to fight for his right to life.
