Disclaimer: I need a Remembrall for this kind of thing. Seriously.


Elsa reached under her bed, feeling around for the box. Where was it? She could have sworn she left it right - ah, there it is.

She pulled it out from under the bed, head tilting curiously. Something seemed different, but she couldn't place exactly what that different was.

Elsa breathed out a sigh. She must have just kicked it and didn't notice. She unlocked the box carefully, fixing the messy letters before tucking the newest one inside. She must have been half asleep the last time. She would never have left it in such a state.

Elsa barely managed to push the box back under the bed when Anna's head peeked in.

"Time for your appointment," Anna had informed her with a toothy grin, and Elsa sighed internally. Blasted appointments.

"I'll be right out. Let me just grab a hat." Anna had nodded and ducked back out of the room.

Elsa breathed out a sigh in relief and let her head fall back against the bed.

She really needed to talk to Anna about that open door policy.


"Are you allowed to be in the pool?" Anna asked dubiously as she watched Elsa saunter across the marble tiles around the pool.

The blonde had lowered her glasses slightly, an eyebrow quirked. "Do you think there would be a pool if I wasn't?"

Anna's cheeks warmed, hands tightening around Elsa's baby blue towel. "Shut up."

Elsa had laughed and passed her sunglasses off to Anna, too. "I don't think you should be talking to your boss like that."

Anna rolled her eyes fondly and hooked the sunglasses onto the neckline of her uniform shirt. "You're barely my boss."

Elsa had shaken her head and simply smiled, turning away from her.

They'd been like this since the thunderstorm, two newborn foals taking their first steps. Or something like that. She'd never been good at metaphors. Either way, they were starting to rebuild their friendship, becoming less like employer and employee and more like the best friends they always were.

Anna was loving it.

Anna soon found that she was loving this even more.

Teal eyes widened as the silk robe slipped off Elsa's shoulders, Anna's mouth going dry as a dazzling amount of milky skin was exposed before her.

Holy shit. Elsa was hot.

Anna pushed that thought right to the back of her mind, sputtering out a cough and picking Elsa's discarded robe up. Elsa was her friend. Her best friend. Anna couldn't go thinking about her trim waist, her smooth legs, the dimples in her back, and that a

She sucked in a deep breath and was somewhat relieved when Elsa slipped carefully into the water.

"Are you just going to stand there?" Anna heard Elsa ask from the pool, voice clouded with amusement.

Anna cleared her throat and plopped down onto the lounge chair in response.

"Are you okay?" Elsa had asked, eyebrows furrowing in concern as she swam to the edge of the pool, arms resting on the cool marble.

Anna nodded hurriedly. "I'm - I'm okay." She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "I-I'm great, actually."

Elsa had narrowed her eyes but seemed to decide not to question her any further. "Well, if you insist."

Anna watched her swim away, swallowing thickly. Oh boy.

She was in big, big trouble.


"I can't believe we're going to the same college," Anna had said, happily skipping along beside her. Elsa lifted her gaze from the metal ruler in her hands, shifting it absently as she considered replacing the one she had at home.

"It's not that exciting," Elsa replied with a chuckle, hiding a smirk.

Anna, as expected, huffed and shifted the basket that hung on her forearm. "It so is! We haven't gone to school together - ever!"

Elsa's smile quieted a little at that, placing the ruler into the basket. "I know. I was only joking." She nudged her. "You're such a drama queen."

Anna had scoffed as they continued to wander down the aisle, Ralph lumbering along behind them. "You're the one who declared that I almost killed you when we first bumped into each other again."

Elsa's fingers fluttered nervously on instinct, adjusting the hat on her head. "You could have," She practically choked out.

Their eyes met.

Elsa wasn't sure why her stomach twisted when Anna looked away, first.


"Why is Elsa's bathroom so messy?" Anna huffed, tossing more clothes into the hamper tucked under her arm.

She had knocked on Elsa's bedroom door at first, and had waited five minutes before shrugging and making her way inside. She was sure Elsa would get over it.

Now, Anna found herself wandering around a bathroom the size of her old bedroom, delicately picking Elsa's clothes off the floor.

"How can one person have so many clothes?" Anna continued grumbling to herself, not hearing the door opening behind her. She turned sharply, letting out a surprised yelp when she bumped into Elsa.

A half-naked, towel-clad Elsa.

They both screamed.

"Get out, get out, get out," Elsa had practically squealed, one hand curled tightly into the knot of the towel, the other pointing towards the open doorway.

Anna had never run so fast in her entire life.


Elsa sat back in the armchair and wondered if they would notice if she sneaked away to grab a book.

It had been an hour of this already. Her grandfather had arrived, given her a bag of chocolates and a kiss to the head before being lead to the library, her parents following suit. Having the three of them in the same room was a miracle in itself, but for them to actually be acknowledging each other like this? The world must have been ending outside and she just hadn't noticed.

Elsa wished Anna was in here with her. Chocolate could only entertain her for so long, after all.

Her head tipped back, and she sighed quietly as she decided to tune in once more.

"If you think for one second that I am going to risk my daughter's life so she can follow some silly little dream, you've got another thing coming." Elsa's eyes rolled upward as she ignored the sting of her mother's words.

"It's not a silly dream, Idunn. This is your daughter's happiness we are talking about!" Elsa smiled internally. Her papa had always been her favorite. "Besides, Miss Almstedt has informed me that she plans on attending the same university. Therefore, Elsa won't be alone."

"I think your husband is right, darling," Her grandfather had uttered, effectively shutting her mother up. Elsa, like her mother, had gaped.

It was very clear that her grandfather held little affection for her papa, if any, and for him to actually agree was massive.

Elsa was stunned.

Her mother recovered faster than she. "I am not happy about this."

"It is beneficial to the company, you know," Her grandfather had stated, stormy grey eyes cutting over to meet hers. Elsa straightened subconsciously, but mirrored the subtle smile on her grandfather's face. Really, she didn't know where her mother had gotten it from. "She will be continuing the legacy of brilliant architecture that Almstedt Corporation has to offer."

Elsa nodded eagerly, and her mother had crossed her arms. "I will still be talking to Anna about this."

"Then talk," Her grandfather had drawled, walking over to soothe a large hand over her hair. Elsa pressed up into the touch subconsciously. "My dear granddaughter will be going to that school regardless."

Her mother had huffed and stormed off. Her papa had grinned at her, before hurrying off to placate her mother. Her grandfather had winked down at her, ruffling her hair.

Elsa simply beamed.

She couldn't wait to tell Anna.


"I'm beginning to think you like sleeping with me," Anna stated with a playful smirk as she entered the room, her blanket wrapped around her shoulders.

"Well, we have a lot of sleepovers to make up for." Elsa had blushed as Anna plopped down onto the left side of the bed, Elsa completely missing her innuendo. "Besides, you're much warmer than Sven."

"Oh, so I'm just a replacement?" Anna teased, watching as slender fingers worked deftly to undo Elsa's thick braid.

"You know you're not," Elsa had mumbled with a light smile, gloved hands dropping to her lap as waves of pale blonde hair cascaded down Elsa's shoulders.

Anna ran her fingers over the silky fabric of the gloves. "Why don't you take them off?"

Elsa's hands drew back, as shaky as the breath she drew in. "You know why."

"You're not a monster, Elsa," Anna whispered, peering earnestly up at the girl.

Elsa had smiled sadly as her fingers toyed with the single white strand in her hair.

"I wish I could believe you."


"Why can't you play normal sports?" Anna had asked her, lounging around on the love-seat behind her.

Elsa faltered momentarily, but quickly picked up the pace of her running once more. "I'm not allowed."

"But why?"

Elsa's jaw tensed lightly as her eyes focused on the character on the screen. "It's too dangerous."

Elsa heard Anna scoff behind her. "But you're perfectly healthy. I don't see why—"

"I just can't, okay?" Elsa snapped, whipping around to face Anna.

Anna had quieted, lowering her gaze. "Right. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked."

Elsa pinched the bridge of her nose. "Anna, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to—"

"No," Anna had cut her off. "It's okay, I promise. I should - I'll go get you some water." Anna shuffled quietly out of the room.

Elsa decided not to mention the mini fridge right beside her.


"You know," Anna drawled as they sat in the ice cream store, sharing an extra large tub of chocolate ice cream. "You never told me what these doctor appointments were for."

Elsa had stiffened before her. Anna sighed internally. Sometimes, talking to Elsa was like pulling teeth.

"You don't have to worry about it," Elsa had promised, taking her hand and squeezing it gently. Anna laced their fingers before Elsa could retreat, and she wondered what it would be like, her skin against Elsa's. "I trust you."

Elsa had laughed lightly and dropped her head. "You really shouldn't."


Elsa was at a loss as to why the box was always as messy as it was.

She only interacted with it enough to place new letters in, but every time she did, she found it in a complete mess. She shook her head. Maybe she just needed a new place to put them. A bigger box, maybe?

Elsa pursed her lips in thought as she tucked her most recent letter in among the others. She would figure something out.

Dear Anna,

Happy Halloween!

I hope you're doing okay. I can't believe it's been a year already. Gerda told me that you were excited about today. She also told me that you'd be sending me a picture of your costume very soon. I'm quite excited to see it.

I wish I could go trick or treating with you, too. I asked Gerda about it, but all she did was smile and kiss my head. She looked a little sad. You don't think I made her sad, do you? I'll apologize to her anyway, just in case. Do you think you could ask Gerda why I couldn't go with you? I'm sure it has something to do with the thing in my head, but it's not like I'm going to be jumping around or letting things fall on it. I have a very silly helmet to prove it. I can't wear my crown because of it.

Oh! I also gave some chocolates to Gerda to give to you tomorrow. I know you'll get it late, but I know you'll eat them anyway. Are truffles still your favorite? I hope so, because they're mine, too.

I really do miss you, Anna. I wish I could talk to you in person soon. Maybe when I learn to control my powers fully, I'll be able to. I hope you don't forget about your bestest friend.

Love, Elsa.'

Anna sat back against her pillows, fingers tracing reverently over the childish, but still beautiful, handwriting on the page.

She remembered that Halloween.

She'd dressed up as a prince because Rapunzel had wanted to be a princess and Eugene had dressed up as a spy or something. Now, after having read this, Anna wondered if Elsa had been a princess, too.

Anna folded the letter and tucked it under her pillows.

She would have fought all of Elsa's dragons off if she knew.
