Jack and Jamie had been gone for about a month or so, and Anna watched her sister try to hide the sadness she was feeling around her subjects. But in the halls when they were alone she saw more of the misery her sister was feeling. She hoped the surprise she and her cousin and worked on would make Elsa feel better and not worse. Taking a deep breath she knocked on her sister's door and said, "Elsa, its me, Anna. Can I come in?"
"Go away Anna, I want to be alone." Came the reply. "Elsa please don't shut me out again. Let me in, I am your sister and I am here for you. I'm always here for you." Elsa opened the door a faint smile on her lips as she said, "I didn't think you would accept me wanting to be alone. Come on in." When she saw her sister was carrying something, she couldn't help looking at it with curiosity.
Anna was glad to see that her sister was interested in something so she said, "Remember when Rapunzel and her husband got here? I asked her to work on a painting for a gift for you. I gave her a basic description of what I wanted and was amazed at what she did. I hope it makes you happy and not sad." She handed over at that last bit, and Elsa carefully tore off the protective covering.
When she saw what was beneath it she caught her breath and said, "Oh Anna its perfect!" There was a picture of Jack Frost, mischievous looking, but the fun loving mischievous, not the cruel kind. She had captured him perfectly, even down to having him holding out a snowflake. "But how did you describe him without saying he was Jack Frost?"
Anna laughed and said, "Actually I told her that this was how I always imagined Jack Frost to look, and I thought you would love to have a picture of a fellow snow and ice user. But Elsa look at what she titled the painting." Elsa looked down at the little golden plaque on the frame, happy tears forming in her eyes as she said, "The Snow King."
She stared at the painting a moment longer before gently putting it down and reaching out to hug her sister. After they parted from the embrace Anna said, "Oh and Pabbi told me he wanted to see you when you can get the chance." "Okay Anna. Thank you for this lovely gift. I am going to go thank Rapunzel as well." She carefully put it up on the wall in her room, before linking arms with Anna and exiting the room to find Rapunzel.
