Smile


Because of the many years she spent in isolation, Elsa was still getting used to being in big crowds. This was especially apparent whenever she went to the town square with Anna. Her younger sister understood her older sister's anxiety. It was perfectly natural. Despite this, Anna promised to do her best to help Elsa adjust to life outside of the palace. At the moment, the sisters were walking through town square, visiting the various shops. Anna could tell that Elsa was very nervous; the look on her face was painfully obvious. Anna gently took Elsa by the hand, smiling at her.

"It's OK, Elsa. There's no need to be nervous. Everyone in Arendelle loves you."

"Thank you, Anna. I appreciate that. It's just that I'm still getting used to being in large crowded areas like this. It all feels very unnerving," Elsa explained.

"Well, it shouldn't be. You're the Queen of Arendelle, so the whole kingdom is your home. Your people love you, and more importantly, I love you. Don't worry, we'll have a great time together. Just be yourself. Put a smile on that pretty face of yours."

Elsa gave a soft smile, but this wasn't enough to convince Anna. "Come on, you can do better than that!"

Elsa smiled bigger, shining in the afternoon sunlight.

"That's it! You've got a beautiful smile! Of course, everything about you is beautiful!" Anna said.

Anna never ceased to amaze Elsa. She was truly lucky to have her.

"Now come on! Let's go see what they're selling at the bakery!"

As Anna dashed ahead towards to the bakery, Elsa trailed behind her, remembering to smile this time.

As she made eye contact with several people, Elsa smiled as brightly as she could. Surprisingly, this helped calm her nerves.

When she made eye contact with a young man around her age, the man stopped and smiled back at her.

"Good afternoon, Queen Elsa. Might I say, what a beautiful smile you have," he said.

Elsa felt her heart skip a beat. At first, she didn't know how to respond to this, but it suddenly came to her. Just be friendly.

"Why, thank you. That's very sweet of you to say," she said.

"You're welcome. Have a great day, Your Majesty!" the man said.

"Thank you. I wish you the same."

As Elsa walked away, she kept the smile on her face, pleased with herself. She was starting to get used to this whole crowd thing.
