Chapter 3: Playing with Anna and Talking With Elsa (Part 3 –Final-)
The day was the same like always. Anna would wake me up, drag me down the stairs (continuously tripping, of course), and we would play together.
Although, there is a certain change in this sequence. We were located in the kitchen, not the garden.
"Uh…what are we doing here again?" I asked as we hid behind the door. "We're going to steal the chocolate of course! Elsa will surely come out if we give her some!" Anna replied happily. I doubt that. I instantly thought.
Last night, Elsa told me Anna came to her room again that morning and tried to bring her out by asking if she wanted to build a snowman. She explained how she just ignored her of course.
"Are you sure about that?" I asked. "Well, not really. But it's worth a shot!" She grinned. Sighing, I shook my head. Let's just get this over with.
"Oh wait, here," She then handed me a small object, only to reveal it as a tin can with a long strand of nylon attached to it that was connected to the one Anna was holding. "What is this supposed to be?" I asked. "It's called a walkie-talkie. We can communicate with each other if we use this." She explained. "But what if they trip on it?" "Then we have to stay close to each other of course!" But then what's the use of this if we're just going to stick to each other…?
"Anyways, operation: Steal Chocolate Bait, START." She then dashed in while I sighed and silently followed her inside.
The delicious smell of food instantly entered my nose and it made my mouth literally water, but Anna kept me from it (which is a good thing, actually). "Do you see the chocolate?" She asked me with a serious tone. Seriously, Anna. That is just not your forte. "No." I replied monotonously. How am I supposed to see with all these large people around me?
"Wait, wait." She suddenly looked at a certain direction. "There!" She pointed at the counter at the other of the room. On top of it, a large box of chocolate laid on top of a kitchen counter "How are we supposed to get there?" I asked, folding my arms. "Um…well…I didn't really think we'd make it this far." She smiled sheepishly. Sighing, I face-palmed. "Whatever. Just follow me."
She nodded and we both began to sneak around the kitchen. When we had a chance, we would hide behind a few counters or inside a box of crates filled with fruits and the like. It was like I was playing a game I remember being forced to play called "Assassin's Creed" by my best friends. The lot…they were so pushy back then that I had no choice.
Soon, we found ourselves only a meter away from the kitchen. "We're almost there! Anna, you have to go get it." I told her. "What? Why me?" She asked, taken aback by my sudden order. "Because you're smaller than me and it will make it harder for them to see you." I pointed out. "What? Fine…" "Good. Just be careful if you want to make this mission a success." "What's success?" "You'll learn when you're older." "Everyone always says that…" "Just go." "Yes ma'am."
At that, she then sneaked away while I kept watch. I had completely forgotten about the walkie-talkie until I noticed one of the chef's trip over it. "Qu'est-ce que c'est?!* " He exclaimed. Uh oh.
"Anna! Hurry up with that chocolate!" I whispered through the walkie-talkie. "I'm trying!" I heard her reply.
"Oi! Que faites-vous ici?!** " I turned around, only to be surprised to see one of the chef's pointing at me. Fortunately, he was the only one who noticed me. "Uh…" I was speechless. What was the best option for me now? And then, I remembered. Ice! Right! "Désolé de cette.***" I spoke in french, which clearly shocked him. With a flick of a hand, the ground under him turned into ice and he obviously slipped and crashed into the wall behind him.
After that, Anna rushed towards me with a bunch of chocolate in her hands. "What did I miss?" She asked. "Nothing. Let's just get back before they see us." Grabbing a few chocolate, we both ran away.

Later, we were outside of Elsa's door and Anna had an enthusiastic expression on her face. She knocked in a cute, certain sequence before asking in a singsong voice. "Do you want to build a snowman?" She asked, smiling. There was no reply, obviously. "We have chocolate for you~" No answer. Anna frowned, until she faced me.
"Can you ask her?" "What? Why me?" I asked. "Maybe she'll come out since she might want to see you since she doesn't know you." Oh, she knows me very well. "Come on, please Alice?" She stared at me with cute puppy dog eyes that I swear made me crumble to pieces inside. Blushing slightly, I sighed. "Fine…"
Knowing what I was about to do was going to embarrass me, I gently knocked on the door and spoke softly. "Do…do you want to build a snowman…?"
There was silence for a few seconds though I swear I heard laughter inside, even if Anna couldn't hear it. "I guess she still doesn't want to go out. Let's go." I spoke quickly before grabbing Anna's hand and dragging her away. "But—" "Let's. Go." "…You scare me sometimes Alice." "Not another word."
With that, we left, but I made sure to save a few bars of chocolate with me.

Later, at night, I got up like usual after making sure Anna and everyone else was asleep. I grabbed a small satchel from my bedside and placed the chocolate I had saved earlier inside (I cooled it down with my powers of course). Prepared, I left the room and silently sneaked towards Elsa's room.
Once I had reached her room, I plopped down on the floor and knocked on her door. "Elsa?" After a few seconds, I heard her reply. "Y-yeah?" She sounded like she was laughing. Frowning, I spoke. "Don't tell me you're still laughing about earlier." She laughed louder. "Hahaha…it's just really amusing to hear you asking that…" Folding my arms, I glared at the door. "Just so you know, I'm not planning on doing that ever again." "Aww, and I was hoping you would." "Are you mocking me right now?" She laughed again and I pouted. This girl just loved to tease me, didn't she.
Then, I remembered about the chocolate. "Oh yeah, do you want some chocolate? I brought some from earlier." I asked. "You mean you really had chocolate?" She sounded surprised. "What, you thought we didn't?" "Well, yeah. It's a bit hard to get past those French guys." "Let's just say I had a trick up my sleeve. And no, Anna did not see." I heard her sigh in relief. "So…chocolate?" I asked. There was silence for a few moments. She was obviously thinking about it. "Sure."
Smiling, I stood up and she opened the door. When she did, I could see her clearly and she could see me.
She was just like how I saw her four days ago, except she looked a bit more tired. She seemed surprised to see me. "You're…different than I expected." She spoke. "You're…" She paused for a moment. I'm…? "…a bit like me, but cuter." What? I folded my arms, raising an eyebrow. "What do you mean by that?" "You're hair…it's white like mine." It is? Thank goodness, I thought my hair had changed. "And you're eyes are really blue, just like mine too." Well, my eyes have always been blue. "But I'm cuter," I added. She smiled, giggling softly. "Yeah, in a child-like way." I pouted. I. Am. Not. A. Child!
Shaking my head, I opened my satchel and brought out two bars of chocolate. "Whatever. Here," I gave her one bar while I kept the second one. "Thanks." We then both ate in silence until I had the sudden urge to ask her something.
"May I…come in?" I asked. She didn't reply for a moment before nodding. I then stepped inside and closed the door behind me. When I opened the room, I was slightly surprised to see it was still normal.
I watched as she sat on the bed while I leaned against the wall and sat down. There was only silence between us the entire time as we ate and the only time we would speak is when she would ask for another bar and I would reply.
As we continued to munch on the deliciously mouth-watering chocolate, thoughts ran through my mind. Should I…tell her? I thought. I was beginning to get tired of hiding my true identity, I just really wanted to tell someone about whom I was, just one person. I'm pretty sure Anna wouldn't understand if I told her now, so I thought that I should just tell her when we're older. But I really wanted to tell someone now. I think I should.
But, before I could even do anything, her center of attention was outside the window. "Hey, look," I looked outside, and was surprised to see that a single snowflake falling. "A snowflake." I watched as a smile graced on her lips and it made me smile too.
"You know," I spoke up. "They say that if you catch the first winter snowflake, then you can wish for anything and it will come true." She faced me. "Really?" I nodded. "Yup." She then looked outside and walked towards her window. Opening it, she put her hands out and the snowflake landed on her palms.
After a few moments of silence, she closed the window and sat on the bed once more. "What did you wish for?" I asked. She stared sadly at the snowflake in her hand. "That I can build a snowman with Anna again."
Hearing this response, I was deeply shocked. All this time...she just wanted to build a snowman with Anna. No wonder she wouldn't ––couldn't reply whenever the five year old would ask her if she wanted to build a snowman. It must've hurt her a lot more than I expected.
Bottling up my feelings, I discarded the idea of telling her my true identity. It might make things worse if an eight year old finds out that her adopted younger sister is actually this goddess from outer space (or so I like to think my kingdom is located).
Mentally shaking the idea out of my head, I began to yawn. "I'm getting sleepy again…" I muttered. "You could sleep here if you want." Elsa offered. "Nah, Anna always comes into my room to wake me up so if I'm not there, she'll probably panic." "That's so like her." We both laughed.
"Anyways, goodnight." I spoke, opening the door. "Goodnight, Alice." She smiled. At that, I closed the door and returned to my room.
No one must ever know my secret.
*What is this?!
**Hey! What are you doing here?!
***Sorry about this.
