Thirteen years of complete isolation did not prepare me at all for the chaos of a wedding. For the past two weeks, the last details were getting decided, but Anna kept postponing her choice of flavor for the cake. It didn't matter to Kristoff as long as they ended up at the same altar. Bad mistake on his part, really. Anna was never one for making up her mind. The only reason they managed to stay on track for the whole shabang was because she made me choose things for her. Now it was the morning of the wedding, and Anna still didn't know what kind of cake she wanted. This was one decision that she felt had to be hers.

"Anna."

"Yelling at me isn't going to help me decide faster!"

"Anna, I'm not yelling at you."

"Yes, you are!" Anna yelled before panting heavily. "Ugh, I'm such a failure!" She flopped down on the magenta couch of the dressing room in defeat.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. "What do you mean?"

"If I can't pick the flavor for a cake, how can I be a proper wife? I don't deserve Kristoff! I'm not good enough for anybody."

I knew this was coming. "Anna, you're being ridiculous. The flavor of your cake won't decide your whole future."

"But what if it does?" Anna shot up in her seat and intensely stared me down. "What if my life takes a wild turn because I choose chocolate over vanilla?"

"It won't."

"Have some imagination, Elsa! What if it does? Then surely I need to pick the right flavor." Anna stood up and marched around the room, sometimes nervously glancing at her wedding attire. "I'm gonna screw up this whole thing, aren't I? It's something I would do!"

I figured this would happen, so I floated over to her and gently took her shoulders. "Anna, you're going to make a wonderful wife. And I know Kristoff is right for you, too. Trust me."

Anna brightened up and hugged me tightly. "Oh, Elsa! You'll come on our honeymoon with us, won't you?"

I nervously laughed and pushed her away gently. "No, thank you. I'm going to North Mountain for a routine check. You know me."

She sighed and nodded. "Yeah, yeah. Make sure no one is trapped, no one is starving, no one is without a job, no one is alone."

I smiled and started walking out of the room. "I'm going to the baker now. What do you choose?"

Anna flopped onto the floor and groaned loudly. "I don't know!"

I smirked and tried a different approach. "What tastes better?"

"Chocolate of course, but-"

"Chocolate it is!" I smiled brightly at her and left to go find the baker before she could change her mind. If I had to plan another wedding in my lifetime, I swear I would faint out of anxiety.

After relieving the baker of his panic, I headed outside to the garden. It was my twenty-third winter, and very cold and snowy. For me, it was comfortable weather to practice, so I played with my powers a bit. I was getting better at controlling them and was even starting to practice healing with them. It was while thinking about this that I heard a stick snap.

I instinctively shot in the direction of the sound. My head followed through just in time to see the ice hit the air as if there was an invisible person. The ice bounced off the air and hit the ground with an ordinary thud.

It was crazy, so I had to investigate. "Hello?" I called out, trudging closer to the space where I shot. I looked all over the ground; it could have been a stray animal. Instead, I found the contour of a human body in the snow. My mouth fell agape, and I reached out to touch the snow there. My hand hit the snow just as it would. "Is someone here?" I looked around and waited for a response, but received no answer.

"Queen Elsa!" Kai called out from the door. "The ceremony will be starting soon. You are going to give your sister away, aren't you?"

Kai startled me, but I quickly composed myself. "Of course." I strolled back to the entrance with one last look at the contour, but it wasn't there. It had been replaced by plain, flat snow. Something odd was going on. "I… I wouldn't miss it for anything."
