A warm welcome to all my readers. I know that it has been a long time since I have updated. I needed to get some things sorted out. Thanks a million for all the support throughout these months. I have decided that I will continue this story in this canon. All chapters will be interrelated. If there are time gaps between chapters, I will let you'll know.

I have replaced/updated Chapter 1 so do read it if you have not done so.

A big thanks to all of you who favorited, reviewed or followed. You'll are the inspiration that keeps me going.

A shout out to Kurochach for the review and for the fruitful discussion we had. It definitely helped in the making of this fic.

A big thank you to sassyfriend who gave me the final push I needed to get this out.

Reviews are greatly appreciated. Enjoy.

The sun shone brightly through the triangular windows of the bedroom; forming a myriad of glamorous patterns on the floor. A single ray of light escaped through a gap in the curtains and landed on the face of a serenely sleeping princess. Elsa slowly opened her eyes and took in her surroundings. The usual blue she saw every time she woke up was now replaced by pink. Elsa attempted to stretch but found a dead weight on her chest preventing her. Anna was sleeping peacefully with her head on Elsa's chest and her hands tucked under her chin. Elsa smiled affectionately, recollecting the events of the previous night. However, her smile quickly turned into a grimace when she remembered how she had very nearly hurt Anna with her powers. Elsa was determined to make it up to Anna somehow. She gently caressed Anna's hair.

"Wake up, Anna. It's morning," Elsa said in a playful tone. "It is a bright new day and we're going to make the best of it."

"Go back to sleep Elsa," Anna whined from her position on Elsa's chest, "just five more minutes…"

Anna fell right back to sleep. Elsa giggled and obliged as she continued caressing Anna's hair.

15 minutes later…

Elsa's neck was starting to get stiff and she was just about to wake Anna up again when…

Knock, Knock, Knock

"Your Highnesses, breakfast will be served in the dining room shortly." It was Kai, the Royal Butler. He was close to the royal family and their father had entrusted him with Elsa's secret. Elsa respected and admired him greatly for his loyalty and dedication to the family.

"We'll be down in a minute Kai." Elsa voiced. Just as soon as I can get Anna to wake up. Elsa added to herself.

"Very well your Highness." Kai replied and went on his way.

"Anna, wake up. It's been way more than just five minutes."

Anna groaned and tried to snuggle closer into Elsa. Elsa smirked as a mischievous thought come into her mind.

"Don't say I didn't warn you." Elsa said as she twirled her fingers over Anna's face. A light snowfall came fluttering down from Elsa's fingertips and fell on Anna's face.

"Elsa," Anna giggled, "stop that."

"Not unless you wake up."

"Alright, alright." Anna laughed. Elsa helped her sit up beside her.

"Good morning Anna."

"Great morning Elsa." Anna replied cheerfully.

"Anna" Elsa giggled while tried to stifle her laughter by covering her mouth.

"What?" Anna asked clearly confused.

"Your hair; it looks exactly like a bird's nest."

"Well, what can I say, my hair sort of has a mind of its own. It moves around when I sleep." Anna sighed.

"Here, let me braid it for you." Elsa said picking up a brush from the bed-side table. Anna turned her back towards Elsa who began combing her hair. Once her hair was straightened, Elsa started braiding it.

"I like it when you braid my hair," Anna stated after a while, "it feels nice."

"I'm glad you like it." Elsa said finishing up her braiding. "Come on, let's freshen up."

Elsa helped Anna climb off the bed and they made their wat towards the washroom.

10 minutes later…

Both sisters were standing side by side behind the double doors of their bedroom. Elsa was wearing her usual blue gown and Anna her green dress. Elsa extended her arm towards Anna and Anna accepted the unspoken request by slipping her arm in Elsa's. Together both the sisters made their way to the dining room arm in arm. When they arrived, they found their mother seated at the head of the table.

"Did you'll sleep well?" She asked as the duo took their place at her right side.

"We slept peacefully Mama." Elsa replied. Meanwhile Gerda, the Royal Stewardess, set up two breakfast plates for them.

"Papa is at a meeting with the Royal Council. They had some important matters to discuss." The Queen gave Elsa a wry smile and continued, "He would like to meet you in his study immediately after his meeting. Something to do with wooden flooring getting damaged from snow."

"Uh-oh"

"Yeah, I thought so. Anyway, good luck. He'll be expecting you soon."

Elsa began to fret with worry while Anna stuffed Krumkakes in her mouth. Oh snowgies. Elsa thought as she dropped her head in her hands.

The Crown Princess took a deep breath and braced herself before knocking and entering through the heavy oak doors to her father's study. The aromatic lavender scent of the study instantly overwhelmed her. The study was one of her favourite places in the castle. It was just like the rest of the castle but the atmosphere inside the study was so peaceful that it made one want to stay there forever. The King was currently working at his desk across the study and a chair had been placed facing the desk for any visitors or guests.

"Elsa" The King said looking up.

"Papa, you wanted to see me."

"Have a seat." Elsa moved across the study and took the seat opposite the King.

"Do you have something to say Elsa?"

"Yes, I'm very sorry Papa. I didn't mean to spoil the ballroom flooring. It was a mistake and I won't do it again."

Her father gave her a long look before sighing, "Elsa it's not about the flooring. I care not for the flooring of some old ballroom; I care more about you and Anna. What if something had happened to you'll when you'll were playing? What if one of you was injured? You must be careful Elsa. You still have not completely mastered your powers and we can't risk the Kingdom finding out about them. There will be widespread panic and turmoil. All it takes is one unfaithful servant to spill the beans."

Elsa visibly deflated and looked down in shame. She considered telling Papa about how she had thawed the ice in Anna's head but promptly dismissed that thought as it was not the right time.

"I know Papa, I'll be mindful."

Her father smiled, "I believe in you Elsa. On your 21st birthday, you will be officially announced as the heir to the Kingdom and on that day, you will reveal your powers in all their beauty and splendour. I know you'll surprise me one day with your mastery over your powers."

Elsa smiled back feeling heartened. The King then stood up and walked over to the window near his desk. The window overlooked the Kingdom and the harbour. The King became pensive as he gazed at the crystal blue waters of the fjord. Taking a deep breath, he continued, "It's been a while since we last went out into town, hasn't it. I suppose a morning promenade is in store."

The young princess smiled.

"That would be wonderful."

And indeed it was, for now everything was alright in the Kingdom of Arendelle.

I hope you'll enjoyed this chapter.

Please drop a review with any ideas or suggestions you may have. It'll really help me to update quickly.

I am going to continue this as a series of one-shots based in the same universe.

Until next time! ;)
