Elsa rushed to get to the courtyard, she didn't want to be late. She thought she heard something on her way outside but, it must've been the wind. She went into the middle of the courtyard looking around. "Jack?" She whispered. "Yes your highness" Jack said as he picked Elsa up and spun her around. He was back in his normal sweatshirt and pants, still no shoes. Elsa was in her turquoise dress that she had to wear when she was in the kingdom. "Do you have to wear that?" Jack asked as he lightly tugged at her sleeves. "Yes I do. What's wrong? Do I look bad?" Elsa asked teasingly. "No no no, I was just wondering. It looks so, unnatural" he struggled to find a word that wouldn't upset the snow queen. "What do you mean?" Elsa was a little confused but, at the same time she wanted to know Jack's reasoning. She didn't like the dress very much either. "Well, when I first saw you, you looked lonely but you looked free and happy. You seemed to be right where you wanted to be. Nothing was restricting you from being, you. In this you seem so, held back. Almost trapped in a sense" Jack said as he held Elsa's hands. He really meant what he said. "Are you sure you don't just want to see me in the dress?" Elsa said jokingly as she placed a light kiss on his lips. "Well that too" Jack smiled as he went in for another kiss. This one was deeper, with more passion.
Anna hid behind one of the pillars in the courtyard. She saw her sister walking around. It looked like she was looking for something, but what?. Anna was awoken from her thoughts as she saw a white haired boy creep behind her sister. She was about to run out when she heard her sister laughing. Elsa laughing, that was something she only heard on occasions. She watched her sister being twirled by the stranger. Her sister seemed happy with him. Anna couldn't quite tell who he was but she recognized his hair. That's when Anna realized it. She remembered back when she found Elsa with Jack, she called him a nobody. "it was nobody" Elsa had been with Jack since the ball. Anna was in shock and anger. Her sister had lied to her and twisted her own words. She needed to do what had to be done. She took one last glance to see her sister kissing Jack. "I'm sorry Elsa, it's for your own good" Anna said sadly as she turned to leave the courtyard. "Anna?!" she heard Elsa say.
"Anna? Did you follow me here?" Elsa said in shock and fear. "How long have you been here?" Elsa was scared and Anna could hear it in her voice. Anna turned and said "As long as you have". "Anna, I'm sorry I didn't tell you but-" "You lied to me. Why?" Anna looked hurt but so did Elsa. The two sisters have been trying to rebuild a relationship between them and it all seemed to be falling apart. "Anna please you need to understand I didn't want to hurt you" Elsa was in the verge of tears. Jack held her hand tightly hoping to come her down. "WHY! Elsa that's all I want to kn-" "Because I LOVE HIM!" The courtyard fell silent. Elsa was on her knees crying, her head in her hands. Anna stared at her sister in disbelief. "Shhh, shhh Elsa it's ok. Your alright" Jack said as he tried to soothe her. "Elsa?" Anna said it so softly she could barely hear it herself. Elsa looked up wiping the tears from her eyes. "Y-yes" Elsa said as she tried to come herself down. "Do you mean that?" Anna was looking at Elsa in not only concern but happiness. Her sister had always felt like a monster and alone. Anna always tried to show her she wasn't but, she could never understand Elsa. "Yes, I do" Elsa said as she stood up wiping away the last few tears. "Ok" That was the only thing Anna said, she left the courtyard and that was it. Elsa stood in disbelief, what had just happened?
"Elsa are you ok?" Jack took her hand in his. Elsa turned to look at him "Yes, I think so" Elsa said as she hugged Jack. Jack hugged her back and held her there. No words just comfort and love. "Do you want to come inside?" Elsa said as she lead Jack inside the castle. "This place is huge" Jack stared in wonder. Elsa giggled as she dragged Jack down the halls. She lead him to the ballroom. "I've been in there before you know" Jack said with a confused face.
"I know but, I want to show you something" Elsa said with a mischievous grin. Jack smiled back and he was dragged to the center of the ballroom. "Do you want to dance more?" Jack asked laughing. "Just watch" Elsa said with a sarcastic tone. She created a small glowing sphere in her hands and released it towards the ceiling. The sphere burst in the air leaving the ballroom covered in snow. It was a winter wonderland just for the two of them. "Ready to have some fun" Elsa said as she threw a snowball at Jack's shoulder. "Don't say I didn't warn you" Jack said as he smiled and ran towards her, snowball in hand.
