One morning Elsa awoke to find that it was snowing outside. Excited, she ran into the parlor, where her mother was taking cradling her baby sister Anna. "Mommy?" she asked, tugging her mother's skirt, "Will you build a snowman with me?"
"Oh sweetie, you know I would love to, but I have to take care of your sister. Maybe later." Elsa sadly hung her head and walked away.
Elsa played alone outside, using her ice powers to gather up snow to build a snowman. Suddenly she felt a snowball hit her in the back of the head. "Ow!" she cried, rubbing her head. She looked around but didn't see anyone. She continued to go back to her snowman when she felt another snowball hit her, only this time she heard a giggle in the distance. Using her powers, she formed a snowball, turned around and ran over to the direction of the snowball, only to find that no one was there. She continued to look around when she felt a third snowball, only this time she threw hers without a moment's hesitation after being hit. She still couldn't see anyone, but she heard the giggling again, only this time the voice also said "ow."
Elsa was starting to feel afraid. "Who are you?" she called out to the emptiness around her. There was nothing but silence. "If you don't come out right now, I'm going to go tell my mommy and daddy, the queen and king of Arendelle!"
"Go ahead," came a voice from behind her. She turned around and gasped. Standing before her was a tall, thin boy that looked like he was in his late teens, wearing brown and white rags and with white hair and blue eyes like her, holding a long, wooden staff. "You can tell whoever you want, but they won't believe you. No one else can see or hear me."
She began to approach him. "Are you real?"
"Just as real as you are."
"Then why am I the only one who can see or hear you?"
"Because…" He kneeled down and held out his hand, which was enclosed in a fist, and opened it up to release tiny ice magic.
Elsa gasped and smiled. "I can do that too!" she exclaimed excitedly, doing the same exact thing. "Is that why I'm the only one who can see you? Because we have the same powers?" The boy nodded. Elsa's expression immediately changed from excited to worry. "Does this mean that one day I will disappear too?"
"No, don't worry about that. That's from something else."
"Oh, okay. So then who are you?"
"The name's Jack, Jack Frost. And you are?"
"Princess Elsa of Arendelle."
"Princess?" he asked in fake shock. He bowed down before her. "My lady!" Elsa giggled as he stood back up. "So tell me then, what's a pretty little princess like you doing playing out here all by her lonesome?"
"My mommy and daddy are too busy to play with me," Elsa replied sadly. "My mommy is busy taking care of my baby sister and my daddy is busy doing king stuff."
"Really? Well that's not fair to you. But if you want though, I could be your friend."
Elsa's face lit up. "Really?"
"Of course. If you ever need me, all you have to do is call out my name, and I will always come."
"Since you're here now, will you play with me?"
"Of course." Jack replied smiling. Elsa and Jack spent most of the day running around outside in the snow playing, until finally Elsa's father called for her to come inside.
"Aw, I need to go," Elsa said sadly.
"Don't worry, I can come back tomorrow if you want."
"Yes, please!"
"Well then, Princess Elsa," Jack said as he got down on his knees and took Elsa's hand. "Until we meet again tomorrow." He kissed her hand before standing back up. "Goodbye."
"Goodbye Jack," Elsa said, waving to him. Jack did a slight wave back before walking away. He didn't go very far when he turned around to see Elsa running towards him. She hugged his legs tightly. "Thank you."
Jack bent back down so that he was at eye level with her. "Thank you for what?"
"For being my only friend."
Despite feeling cold as ice, Jack couldn't help but feel warm inside from what Elsa said. "You're my only friend too." Elsa made him a flower crown made out of ice and put it on his head. He couldn't help but chuckle as he stood back up and continued on his way.
