Everytime Anna heard her sister say those words, it took her back to their first date. Of course, since they were related, no one could know that the sisters were seeing each other. The siblings came up with a clever idea for their first date. Anna was a museum curator for the Ancient Egyptian wing. So she took Elsa around and "practiced" going through her speech of the things that you may not know about the Ancient Egyptian era. They came to a stop in front of a Cleopatra VII painting.
"Can any of you tell me who this is?" Anna pointed to the painting.
Elsa raised her hand as if she was part of a group.
"Yes, the pretty blonde with the braid?" The younger sister asked.
"Cleopatra" Elsa smiled.
"That is correct!" Anna exclaimed. "Can you tell me what number VII is for the Roman Numeral?"
Elsa again, raised her hand.
"Pretty blonde with the beautiful smile?" Anna winked.
"Seven" Elsa stated matter of factly.
"Wow, two for two! Look at you!" The redhead beamed.
Turning around and walking towards the next exhibit, Anna started to go more into her speech.
"You know, Miss Cleopatra VII here wasn't Egyptian at all. You heard right folks, this queen was actually part of a long line of Greek Macedonians. What are Macedonians you ask? Well, they are a regional and historical population group of ethnic Greeks, inhabiting or originating from the Greek region of Macedonia, in Northern Greece." The redhead turned to face her sister. "Let me know if I'm going too fast, I tend to ramble with this stuff."
"You're adorable when you ramble." The older sister whispered while bushing and looking away from Anna."
"And you're adorabler when you blush." The younger sister said.
"Anna that's not even a word, you just made that up." Elsa giggled.
"I know, I just like to see you blush and I especially like it when I am the cause of it."
Elsa raised an eyebrow "Oh is that so?"
Anna walked right up to her sister, leaned in over her shoulder, and whispered "Yes, that is so." Turned right back around and started her speech again.
"These people originally descended from Ptolemy I, one of Alexander the Great's most trusted lieutenants. The Ptolemaic Dynasty ruled Egypt from 323 to 30 B.C.. Most of the rulers remained Greek in their culture. Little fun fact here" Anna turned around to face Elsa. "Cleopatra was famous for being one of the first rulers of the Ptolemaic Dynasty to learn and actually speak the Egyptian language."
Elsa was stunned and shocked for a moment then got her composure under check. She walked a little faster to catch up with her sister. By then, Anna was onto the next exhibit. It didn't matter honestly because Anna practiced at home more than one should practice being a museum curator. Elsa walked up to follow her sister and listen as they continued with this "date".
"Next up is the child Pharaoh, does anyone know his name?"
Sighing the blonde raised her hand knowing that her sister wouldn't say anything until she did.
"Yes, gorgeous?"
Elsa blushed again but answered the question "King Tutankhamen, or King Tut"
"Very good! Someone knows their Ancient Egypt I see!" Anna exclaimed.
"Or I just have a sister that practices this tour almost non-stop at home and I've learned all the answers. Not to mention, that one was easy." The older sister smirked, finding some confidence.
"Alright ms smarty-pants, then what's the next part of the tour?" Anna snarkily replied while crossing her arms.
"Ummm let's see" Elsa thought for a moment going through the speech over in her head as she heard Anna say so many times at home. "The part where you ask people if they know how Tut died"
The red-head pouted and turned around mumbling something.
The older sister chuckled "I'm sorry, I didn't quite hear that. Could you repeat it?"
Anna huffed "I said you don't have to be right all the time ya know"
Elsa full on laughed. She walked up to her sister and laid a gentle hand on Anna's shoulder. "Anna, sweetie, the only reason I know this stuff is because you practice non-stop at home. Otherwise, I wouldn't even have a clue as to what the answers actually are. Now, tell me about the young boy Pharaoh's death. Okay?"
Looking as red as a tomato, Anna tried to collect herself as best she could. Elsa barely touched her and she was extremely flustered. The younger girl cleared her throat "Okay." She turned back around and started to dive into her speech once again. "Now, while this information may not be correct on how King Tut died, it is the closest that Egyptologists can conclude. They believe that Tut was attacked by a hippo. He used to hunt them for sport and game. There are statues in Tut's tomb that depict him of throwing a harpoon at a hippo." The younger sister turned around to face her sister. "Alright ladies and gentlemen, that concludes this portion of the museum. I sincerely hope you liked a walk through Ancient Egypt! Please let us know if you need anything else." The red-head let out a sigh of relief when her speech was over. Practising this at home in front of the mirror was one thing, but actually speaking in front of others was a whole different thing. Of course, Anna knew how to speak to people. She could talk to people all day long if they would let her. What was freaking her out was that she now had to stick to a specific topic for her job.
Elsa could see that her sister was internally freaking out. She closed the distance to Anna, gently took her sister's hand in her own, and laced their fingers together. Squeezing her fingers lightly, the blonde interrupted Anna's thoughts. "Hey, you okay?"
"Wh-who me? I mean, yeah. Yeah. I'm okay." Looking down at their joined hands, Anna smiled. "Sorry, just nerves."
"Sweetheart" Elsa squeezed Anna's hand again."You're going to be amazing at this. I know it. I believe in you."
Anna looked into her sister's eyes, and saw nothing but love and admiration. "Yeah." Trying to convince herself more she said it again with more enthusiasm. "Yeah! I got this! I'm going to be the best damn curator ever!"
"Of course you will." laughed Elsa. "Now, let's get some ice cream. My treat?"
"Yes! But before we go I need to do something." Anna smiled.
"Of course, do what you need to and then we can go" The blonde replied as she was letting go of her sister's hand. Before she let go however, Anna tugged her hand back into her own and placed a chaste kiss on her lips.
"Anna, what was that for?" Elsa was now as red as Anna had been earlier.
"Just a thank you for helping me with all of this. Now we can go get ice cream" The red-head smiled.
"Oh. Well, you're welcome." Elsa said, as she stood dumbfounded that her sister just kissed her in public.
"And Elsa?" Anna asked
"Yes?" Elsa asked Anna back.
Anna looked into her sister's eyes and said the most true words she had ever spoken. "I love you"
