Slowly Elsa opened her groggy blue eyes. It was the middle of the night and too dark to see anything. She could have sworn she heard footsteps near her bed, which had been the reason she woke up. Due to Elsa's fear that someone might be in her room, ice was slowly creeping up the walls. She squinted into the darkness, but couldn't see or hear anything. So she just assumed it had been her imagination. She lie back down and fell back asleep. Anna approached Elsa's bed. She stayed at a safe distance as to not frighten her sister into waking up again. She just stood there and listened to the sound of Elsa's breathing. She loved listening to each breath. It always calmed her down, and made her feel safe. But most importantly, it assured her that her sister was safe, and was with her, not shutting her out anymore.

Anna quietly returned her own room. She was afraid that Elsa would think poorly of her if she knew, so she just kept it to herself. Anna kept much from Elsa, as she was living in a constant fear that she would make a mistake and Elsa would shut her out again. That was that last thing on earth Anna wanted. Anna loved Elsa. More than she realized she did. More than a sister should.

Elsa loved Anna in a more than sisterly way as well, but immediately pushed away all thoughts about it as they came. Unfortunately, she couldn't control her thoughts while she was asleep and she began to dream of Anna.

"Elsa!" Anna said running to her and tackling her to the ground. "Where have you been all day? I've missed you so much!"

"I've been in meetings all day." Said Elsa giggling and caressing her sister.

"But now you're done right? And we can be together?" Anna smiled wide eyed.

"What.. be... together... no..." Elsa stuttered. Anna's smile melted away and tears began to roll down her face as she turned away. Elsa pulled her arm swung her sister into her and kissed her passionately.

She immediately woke up.

No Elsa. This is wrong. Elsa thought to herself.

It was morning so Elsa got dressed and went down for breakfast. She was a little nervous upon seeing Anna had for once woken up earlier and was already sitting at the table eating. Anna's face lit up the second Elsa walked in.

"Hi Elsa!" Anna said with a wide grin. Elsa walked in with her hands folded and responded to Anna elegantly with a smile and slight bow of the head, causing Anna to giggle.

"Will you join me for breakfast Elsa? We haven't had breakfast together since we were little..." Anna begged.

"That's because you usually wake so late." Elsa giggled covering her mouth with her hand. "But I suppose on this very special occasion I will join you." Elsa raised her glass and said, "To Anna waking up at a decent hour."

Anna blushed and then both girls burst into laughter. The Queen sat down and began to eat the meal prepared for her. As the two talked and enjoyed their breakfast, Elsa tried to fight away thoughts of her dream. Finally they were finished with breakfast. Elsa stood up from the table and as soon as she did Anna ran over and grabbed her.

"Elsa, wait!" Anna said stopping her sister from walking out of the dining hall. "Do you have any free time today?" Suddenly Anna became a little more nervous and backed off her sister. "I mean, I was hoping that we could do something together.."

"..I'll have to see. I do have a meeting soon and one in the afternoon but maybe after those..." Elsa said trying to remain calm and sophisticated. She began to exit the room.

"The we can be together?" Asked Anna excitedly. Elsa flinched wondering if that really just happened. "I mean not together, like we're together, just like you and me, not together just doing something...together...wait what?" Anna nervously explained as Elsa walked quickly out of the room not looking back in fear of what might have happened based on the dream. Elsa quickly went to her meeting. Anna went out into the garden.

"Hi Anna!" Olaf said approaching her. "You look a little down. What's wrong?"

"Oh nothing really, I just would really like to spend some time with Elsa, but she's usually very busy, and when I do talk to her...I'm just a little awkward I guess." Anna explained.

"Well you know what isn't awkward that makes people really happy? Warm Hugs! Why don't you try giving Elsa a warm hug? I bet she'll love it!" Said Olaf smiling.

"Great idea Olaf! She does always seem very happy when I hug her." Anna gave Olaf a hug then waved goodbye as he waddled away.

When Elsa came out of her meeting she was still feeling awkward about what Anna had said earlier. Her afternoon meeting was cancelled so she decided she would just go hideout in her room. All the way to her room she was trying to push away thoughts of holding and kissing Anna.

"Elsa!" Anna said as she saw Elsa at the end of the hallway. Panicking Elsa began running for her room. Anna began chasing after her. Anna was faster. She caught up to Elsa and grabbed her wrist. At Anna's touch Elsa began to get very nervous. Ice began creeping up the walls.

Conceal, don't feel. Conceal, don't feel. Elsa thought to herself. Anna noticed the ice and looked into Elsa's eyes.

"Elsa, are you okay?"

"The meeting just stressed me out that's all." Elsa lied. Anna took a step closer to Elsa making her very nervous. "The other one was cancelled though so I'll be fine." Dang it, why did I tell her that!? Elsa thought.

"Really? Yay! Then we can do something together right?" Anna begged. Elsa was afraid of what might happen if she said no.

"Uhh...yes..." Elsa answered ice now surrounding them. Anna pulled Elsa into a warm hug just as Olaf had suggested. She felt Elsa relax in her arms. The Ice on he walls began to disappear. Anna noticed and smiled to herself. She felt Elsa put her arms around her returning the hug. Anna loved feeling like she could make her sister feel better. She gripped Elsa tighter and pulled her closer. Elsa felt so good in Anna's tight embrace. Finally Anna released Elsa from the tight hug and smiled at her. Elsa blushed and turned away hoping Anna wouldn't notice. But she did. She smiled wider but didn't say anything about it out loud.

"We should go into the woods and find our tree!" Anna said suddenly. 'Their tree' was a tree deep in the woods that no one else knew about but them. They used to go their all the time as kids but hadn't gone since the 'ice to the head' incident. The girls had carved there names into that tree and ever since had referred to it as 'their tree'.

"Goodness, we haven't gone to our tree in ages. I don't think I remember the way." Elsa said, a smile beginning to form on her face as her head filled with memories.

"Well I kind of do..." Anna giggled.

"You 'Kind of' do?" Elsa teased. Anna blushed.

"Well we'll figure it out, we have the rest of the day to find it." Anna smiled begging Elsa with her eyes.

"..Alright. But If we get lost it's your fault." Elsa teased.

"Yeah, yeah. Let's go!" Anna said smiling and grabbing Elsa's hand. The girls ran hand in hand out of the castle and into the woods. They passed the first few trees and stopped. They looked around trying to find anything that they remembered about how to get there. They were still holding hands, which Elsa was thoroughly enjoying, but Anna seemed to have forgotten.

"Oh I remember!" Anna said and bolted in the direction she thought was correct. Elsa was not prepared for Anna to run and their interlocking fingers caused Anna to pull Elsa so fast that she spun around and fell. She fell on Anna and they both ended up on the ground in a giggling fit. Elsa was on top of Anna. She looked down at her with a gentle love in her eyes. The look in Anna's eyes as she looked up at Elsa returned the love. Elsa wanted to kiss the girl beneath her so bad. Somehow, Anna could tell. Anna was actually more surprised that Elsa stopped herself. Stood up and pulled Anna up. Anna looked at her for a minute, then leaned in and kissed Elsa's cheek. Elsa blushed hard and took a step back.

"Elsa..I'm sorry.."Anna started.

"It's fine, don't worry about it." Elsa said awkwardly. "Let's go find that tree." She said. Anna smiled and took Elsa's hand again.

"Okay, I think it's this way." Anna pointed and began walking this time instead of dragging both of them to the ground. They wandered through the wood and couldn't seem to find the tree. But they did come across another place they always used to play as kids. Deep in those woods was a stream. There was a water fall at the top and a great swimming hole right below it. The waterfall always delivered fresh water through it. The two thought it would be a good place to rest for a bit and have some water. They each drank a bit from the stream then sat on a nearby log.

"Anna, it's getting pretty late. It's going to get dark soon. Maybe we should go back to the castle." Elsa said.

"But Elsa, we haven't been out here since we were kids. And it's so nice to be able to spend some time alone with you." Anna said innocently. Elsa blushed and didn't knowwhat to say.

"Remember how we used to swim here and we would pretend we were mermaids?" Anna asked. Elsa giggled.

"How could I forget?" Elsa responded laughing at the memory.

"We used to do a lot of silly things together. Before...you know." Anna said.

"I know and I'm sorry Anna. I'll find a way to make it up to you." Elsa assured.

"I want you to make it up to me by letting us go back to the way things were. I want to be able to spend time with you everyday. I want you to promise me that you'll never shut me out ever again." Anna said looking into Elsa's eyes.

"I won't Anna. And I'll try to spend more time with you." Elsa said. Anna scooted closer to Elsa.

"I want you to promise me, Elsa." Anna said leaning in close to Elsa, making her a little uneasy.

"I p-promise." Elsa said. Anna smiled and kissed her cheek once more.

"Well...If we're going to find our tree we better keep looking before it gets too dark..." Elsa said awkwardly standing up.

"I know how to get there." Anna said smirking. "I just didn't want to get there too fast and allow our little adventure to be shortened."

"Anna!" Elsa said half irritated and half touched.

"Sorry, like I told you earlier I just don't get to spend enough time with you." Both girls laughed.

"Alright, I forgive you but no more keeping what you know from me." Elsa said laughing. So Anna led Elsa to their tree. When they reached the tree they saw their names. The name 'Anna' was written first then a bit of the way down 'Elsa' was written under it. The girls admired their tree for a moment.

"I used my powers to carve this." Elsa said.

"Oh, that explains why I don't remember them getting there." Anna said half joking. Both girls laughed.

"It's gotten really dark, how will we get back to the castle?" Anna asked.

"I guess we won't." Said Elsa smiling. She used her powers to make an Ice tree house in their tree.

"Ooooo! I've always wanted a tree house!" Anna squealed.

"Climb on up, m'lady." Elsa smiled and watched Anna scurry up into the tree house. Elsa climbed up behind her. It wasn't cold inside the tree house, even though it was made of ice. Perhaps because it was made of magic ice.

The two lie down on the floor which Elsa had covered in a thick layer of soft fluffy snow. Anna rolled over to Elsa, took Elsa's arms and wrapped them around her body. Elsa was holding Anna. In a tree house made of ice. In the middle of the woods. Basically, life was beautiful.

"Goodnight, Elsa. I love you." Anna said smiling in Elsa's arms.

"Goodnight, Anna." Elsa giggled. "I love you too." Elsa held Anna a little tighter.

"Elsa?"

"Yes?"

"..If you want to kiss me...it's okay..."

Elsa's heart began to beat a bit faster. She slowly placed a gentle kiss on the redhead's cheek. Giving both girls butterflies.

"Goodnight, Elsa." Anna smiled.

"Goodnight, Anna." Elsa returned.

And they drifted off to sleep.
