Anna couldn't stop a yawn from escaping her mouth as she watched the road through the bus windows. She had been texting Hans late into the night, so she didn't get much sleep. She thought about her weekend again. It had been so amazing!

She had gone to the zoo with her boyfriend on Saturday. They had wandered through the park all afternoon, holding their hands, and had kissed a few times. Then, they had eaten together at a small restaurant and they had walked through the city to watch the Christmas lights that had recently been put up. Finally, before they parted ways, Hans had kissed her and told her that he loved her. She could still feel the butterflies in her stomach. She had been caught by surprise, but she told him that she loved him too.

Is it true? I think so.

Her reverie was interrupted by a cold gush of wind. The bus had stopped and a few new passengers got in. Anna shivered a little. It was December already and the weather was getting very cold. I'll have to check to see if the skating rink has opened yet. Her sister had been distant recently, but she knew Elsa couldn't say no to some ice-skating. Between the tons of homework that Elsa had to do and her new-found addiction to exercising, Anna barely even saw her anymore, and she missed her.

The bus came to a stop and the redhead realized that they had arrived at school. She got out and went to the spot where she always met with her friends. Ariel was already there, speaking with one of their classmate. She said hello to both of them and grinned as Ariel asked her if she was still dreaming about her weekend. She had already told her everything on Sunday.

"I can't believe he said he loved you after just one week of dating!"

"Yeah... but it was so nice! We had such a lovely day, and everything was so beautiful..."

"So... do you think you love him too?" Ariel was such a romantic at heart and she was beaming with joy.

"Yeah... yeah I think so."

"That's so cute! You're like the greatest couple in the school! Oh look! Speaking of which, you prince charming is coming over."

Anna turned and saw him smile as he walked towards her. His copper hair being blown by the cold wind. He kissed her and Anna felt both embarrassment and excitement about kissing him in front of the other pupils.

Then, he put his arm around her waist and Anna happily welcomed the warmth.

They spoke for a few minutes with Ariel before Jasmine arrived. Soon, other classmates joined them and she was thrilled to show everyone how close she was to Hans.

When the bell rang, her boyfriend reluctantly removed his arm and Anna immediately began to miss his touch.

They had math, English, music and Spanish in the morning, in none of which, she sat next to Hans. Still, she glanced at him often and noticed that he was sometimes already looking at her. Whenever that happened, they smiled at each other and Anna blushed a little. In Spanish, they even passed a few notes back and forth. The teacher didn't seem to notice. Plus, the class was dead-boring anyway.

Then, she had lunch with her friends, but managed to steal a few kisses with Hans during the break.

When the bell rang again, it signalled the end of the art class and Anna was disappointed. Already?! The other pupils quickly packed up their belongings and left. They had a 15 minutes break before the last class of the day started and none of them wanted to spend any of that time in class.

Anna on the other hand, had made a habit of staying there for a few minutes every week. Art was, after all, her favorite class, and Mr. Philip was her favorite teacher. She put the final touches on her current piece of artwork, packed her things, and hesitated before leaving the room.

"What is it Anna?" Her teacher was leaning against his deck. "Do you have something to show me today?"

"Well... actually..." Anna was embarrassed. "I do have something. I've been working on a new project."

"That's great. Let me see it." Anna took a folder out of her bag and handled it to her teacher. "It's nothing fancy. Just a character I've been trying to make. I'd like to turn it into some sort of comic."

Mr. Philip nodded and looked at her drawings. "They're really nice, Anna. The clothes are maybe a bit too suggestive for my taste, but I guess most super-heroines are dressed in similar fashions."

The redhead couldn't help but blush. Some outfits were indeed quite revealing. And the model was her sister. She didn't want to disrespect her sister, but super-heroines were often wearing... sexy uniforms.

"They're great, Anna. Nothing to be ashamed of. You should continue working on this."

Anna nodded, satisfied that she had the approval of her teacher. "Thanks! I'll do it."

"Good. Don't hesitate to show me your progress. And you know you can come by at any break, right? You don't have to wait for Monday afternoon. I don't have many students who are interested in art."

"Sure! Thanks a lot. Bye Mr. Philip."

She put the folder back into her bag and left the room with a smile on her face, happy that she had been able to share her artwork and that her teacher had encouraged her to continue.

Once she got home, the redhead went to her room and started drawing again. She began to draw herself, well, her sidekick persona. Her thoughts wandered towards her sister and she suddenly remembered her plan with the skating rink.

She grabbed her laptop and searched for it on Google. Yes! It's open! It had been for a few weeks already. She glanced at the clock. It was 6:15 pm and her sister still wasn't home. She must be at that stupid gym again.

She took her cellphone and looked for Elsa on her contact list. She glanced at the photo under the name 'Big Sis 3' and noticed she would have to take a new one. They must have been almost two years younger when she had taken it.

"Hi Anna. What's up?" She sounded out of breath.

"Hey sis. Am I bothering you?"

"No, not at all. I was just beating up a punching bag. I can let it rest for a sec."

"Again with that? Sis, swear to me you that won't pick up boxing! It's too dangerous!"

"Don't worry. I told you already, it just helps me blow off some steam."

The redhead sighed.

"So, why did you call me? Is there a problem?"

"No, I just wanted to tell you, the skating rink is open again. Want to go there on Saturday?"

"I... I'd love that. You could have waited for tonight to ask me though."

"I just wanted to make sure you wouldn't plan something." Anna could hear a man talking in the background. And he was rude. She picked up the words "beat the shit out of" and "cold hearted bitch".

"Sure. I gotta go, Anna. See you tonight."

The rest of the week went by quickly. School was nice and she made a habit of stopping by art class every day during her breaks to show her teacher the progress she had made on her project. He seemed glad to have a pupil interested in his subject and always gave her good advice. And, he didn't even say anything about the fact that she had begun drawing herself as one of the characters.

Hans wasn't thrilled that she spent part of her breaks there, but she made sure to make up for it when she joined him. Everything was perfect between the two, and Anna was really happy that Hans was her first real boyfriend.

Elsa was still distant and spent way too much time away from home. She looked sad and Anna hoped that going back to the skating rink this afternoon would cheer her up.

Her phone buzzed and she smiled when she noticed it was a text from Hans.

09:20 Hi! Did u sleep well? I know we're going out tomorrow, but do u wanna go somewhere today too? I can't spend a day without seeing you;)

He was so sweet, but she couldn't.

09:22 Sorry, I can't! Spending some time with my sister. But I'm looking forward to tomorrow:)

09:28 Ok np! C u tomorrow then. Love u.

She went back to her drawing project to idle away the hours.

After eating, the two sisters dressed warmly and went out to the rink. Anna sighed as she looked at her big sister. It's so unfair! How can she be so beautiful in a turtleneck sweater and a wooly hat? Her platinum hair was trying to escape from her hat and the cold added some pink to her usually pale cheeks.

They entered the rink and noticed that a lot of people were already ice-skating. Elsa and Anna had brought their own skates, so they just paid the entrance fee and quickly changed into them. Anna held her sister's hand as she entered the rink. She was actually good at skating now and could manage on her own, but she didn't want her sister to know that.

They skated together for a while, Anna never letting go of Elsa's hand. She almost fell once or twice, but quickly hugged her sister to regain her balance. They were both smiling and laughing as they sped up on the rink. She's so graceful, so beautiful.

"I'm a little thirsty, sis. Let's take a break?" said Anna. Then, they left the rink, took off their skates and sat down at a table.

"I'm so glad we're here sis. I've missed you these last two weeks." she continued.

"I'm sorry Anna. I know I've been distant... It's... it's my fault? I just needed to take my mind off certain things. But you know I love you, right? And that I would never abandon you."

"Of course. It's just... you know you can talk to me if you're not feeling well, right?" She was glad her sister still wanted to spend time with her, but she was hurt that she wouldn't talk to her about her problems.

"Yes, I do. Don't worry, I'll get better soon enough." She ruffled her sister's red hair and leaned over the bar table to kiss her on the forehead.

Anna was smiling happily when she saw someone out of the corner of her eye who she had not expected to see here. It was Hans, her boyfriend. What's he doing here?

She watched, worried, as he passed the door of the rink. And what worried her the most was that he wasn't alone. A pretty brunette had one of his arms hooked in hers. She must have been 16 or 17 and Anna had never seen her. Who the fuck is she? Hans doesn't have any sisters. And the rest of his family is in the south.

She tried to push aside the dark thoughts that invaded her mind and watched them from her table. Come on Anna, don't imagine things. He's a really nice guy. There must be a good reason.

They rented some skates and sat down on a bench, most likely to put them on. Anna's heart sank as she saw her boyfriend kissing the girl tenderly. How could he? Tears formed in her eyes and her heart hurt so much. He told me he loved me... why...? She was paralyzed and couldn't keep her eyes off the two teenagers kissing. The girl was blushing a little and Hans was definitely enjoying himself.

Tears began to stream from her eyes as she watched silently. Then, she noticed her sister standing up. She must have followed her staring. "Is it Hans?" Anna was shocked by the tone of her voice. It was as cold as ice. She nodded with a sob and watched her sister clench her fists. Her blue eyes which were usually so soft and kind were now hard as steel and her face portrayed only wrath and determination.

The redhead watched, horrified, as her sister marched towards her boyfriend in long strides.
