Anna awoke in the morning when the sunlight shone through the windows and she can smell Ur's cooking and the boys were helping her with the table setting. She immediately got up and tried to tidy the mattress she slept in but failed miserably since she used to the maids do that for her.

Elsa was always more mature and she did that on her own. She cursed herself for not trying to be more independent and now she felt embarrassed for not knowing how to simple task.

Gray came quietly and helped her. He didn't even say anything this morning. Anna thanked him gratefully and he replied with simple hmm and why was he stripping? What amazed Anna more was when and how did he strip his clothes. Were there special buttons or magic he learned from? "Umm, Gray, your clothes?" Gray flustered and put his clothes back. "Stupid habit," he complained.

They sat together on the other side of Ur and Lyon. Breakfast were simple eggs, breads and milk. It was delicious despite simple and no extra flavor. The milk was warm and the she didn't have to watch her manners.

That didn't mean she hate the palace though. It was part of her heritage and she still missed her family. Maybe with the recent of separation between her and Elsa and loneliness she felt attracted to the warmness of this situation.

"We will go to town today. You need few clothes and we need to buy another mattress. And while doing that we need to buy some food supplies too." Ur said while clearing the dishes. Lyon just simply replied with 'ok' while Gray just nodded. Anna just stared at her.

"What's wrong?" Ur looked at Anna. "I think you should not waste too much on me. I may go sooner than we expected and it will be a waste for you."Ur smiled at her with knowing look,

"Leave that decision to the adult little one. You need to train your body therefore you need a proper place to sleep so your body wouldn't sustain chronic pain that can prevent you to exercise efficiently. And the clothes here are simply too big for you. A girl needs proper clothes. Besides, don't worry about the money, we can work together for that, ok?"

Anna just simply nodded. She still felt it was a burden for Ur. And Ur seemed always know how to reason and comforted any situation. She really embodied a parental figure making Anna missed her parents especially her mother.

The town was located far from their home where they need to use some sort of carriage. It used magic energy instead of horses. Ur and the boys usually walked to the town but however in view of the things needed to buy,

they need to borrow it from Ur's friend who came in the morning to bring it. It was not as fancy as the one she used in Arendelle but it was functioning really well as a transport.

Upon their arrival to the town, Anna was astonished with the beautiful scenery. It was really different from Arendelle. The people, the clothes and the building structures were like world apart literally.

But the best part, the magic displayed in the town were like a culture to them. They treated magic like it was a simple part of their lives.

Anna looked like an excited child doing a sight seeing making Ur giggled at her. The snow was not as bad at their home. Home? Anna was stunned with her thought. How could she forget her own and claimed this new world as her HOME? She felt guilty, it looked like she was betraying her family and Arendelle since she ran away from home. Anna then lost her smile and lowered her head while continuing their walks in town.

Ur noticed her subtle change but decided to leave it alone first. She didn't want to pry so much since Anna still adapting to this new world. In any case situation needed to be controlled, she would be the first one to be ready to step in.

"Gray, why don't you take Anna for a tour. And don't make her lost, ok? Lyon will be with me for the shopping," Ur instructed Gray.

"Why do I have to baby sit her? Lyon is better on that matter," Gray protested, with his clothes stripped again. Anna was astonished on Gray's exhibitionism. How can he be so confident of being bare in front of people all the time? Is this some sort of habit to develop our confident?

Ur who was unknown of Anna's dangerous interpretation regarding Gray's habit of stripping just simply kicked Gray and asked him to do what she said. And not to forget asked him to put on his clothes.

Gray was grumpy with the situation took Anna obediently to see the town. Anna was quiet during the tour. Even Gray could see how different she was when they walked together. "I'm not sure what you are thinking but I was asked to give you a tour, at least you can show a bit of reaction instead moping like that."

Anna turned to him, "I'm sorry. I know it's rude for me to act like this."

Can you stop blaming yourself every time? Not everything can be solved by just simply apologize. It's kind annoying to hear you say sorry every single time. You have to fight back sometime if you are not wrong," Gray gritted his teeth after finished his talk.

"I'm sor.. ,"Anna didn't dare to finish her word when Gray glared at her.

"I just don't want people to hate me. I don't want to lose my friend," Anna reasoned to Gray.

"If making a friend means you have to be a loser and being stepped on, then I rather be alone." Gray replied.

Anna understood the truth behind his word but she couldn't help but felt angry by it. "What do you know about being alone?! Its not like you know everything I felt before we met. You are lucky to have Ur and Lyon as your family. But all you think is you rather be alone? And why are you always mad at me? I don't even do anything to you!" Anna breathed heavily after that. Then she realized what she had done and tried to apologize to Gray again only to be interrupted by Gray.

"See, you finally snap. Did it feel good?" Gray did not show any expression during that question.

"A bit. I never angry like that before," Anna was trying to calm down after that. She had felt irritated but this was the first she snapped without thinking of someone's feeling.

"Sometimes we need to fight to settle things. Nothing good of being powerless and dependent," Gray mumbled seriously with his sadness eyes shown.

He walked pass Anna and continued, "They are not my family. Ur and Lyon. I just happen to need Ur to become stronger to achieve my goal."

Anna was shocked hearing the fact. She did suspect their connection when Ur mention that they had been with her for a while but didn't expect Gray to denied them as his family just like that. She followed Gray through out the town, thinking of everything he said. He was so serious for a boy of his age. She rarely saw him smile, unlike Lyon and Ur.

It made Anna curious of his background, his past. What made him so sad? Could she help him? Then, she remembered Ur's word when they were in front of the house that she may be the one who can help Gray, Lyon and Elsa. But what do Anna have to accomplish that?

Gray and Anna finished their tour and met Ur and Lyon who finished purchasing all things they needed. They put the groceries and new mattress in the carriage and then Ur asked the boys to stay put while she brought Anna to buy her clothes. Gray and Lyon complied obediently and Anna followed Ur from behind.

"Don't you like the town little one? It seems that you are not excited as I thought you would be. You look like the one who always curious about something new. Like magic," Ur broke the silence while continue walking in front of Anna.

"No no no, it's not like that. I love the town. It is beautiful and different. And I feel that it is nice to have this world as my home," Anna argued with Ur assumption.

"Then why you look sad if you think like that? Do you miss your home?"

"It's part of the reason but somehow I feel that if I love this place as a home, I betrayed my family and my hometown. I did run away from them." Anna explaining in sad face.

"You know. Home does not necessarily only one for us. Tell me little one, what makes a place called home?"

"It's where we live and protected in a house or in my situation, a palace? Where family lives together?" Anna tried to answer.

"Yes, when we have family, anywhere can be our home. Having a house or palace can not be called home if there is no one we care is there. It's not only can be applied to family, even friends can be our home.

Anyone who is precious to us can give us home little one. You never betray your family when you think of having home here because you also have your family here," Ur explained in a gentle tone.

Anna surprised of Ur words, "I'm your family?"

Ur stopped and held out her hand, "If you want, I welcome you in my home as your family. We can be friends too but I already think you like my daughter. Is that ok?"

Anna's tears flowed from her eyes, she wiped it and smiled. She held Ur's hand, "I love to be your family."

Anna chose to have more boyish clothes since its easier for her to move and train later. They went back after few hours later. Anna finally set her goal to train and get back to her parents and Elsa.

But for now, she also wanted to know about her new family, Ur, Gray and Lyon. Maybe she still didn't know a lot about them but sooner or later she will. And she was excited on her way back, back to her home. but unknown to her this is just the beginning of her journey

Unknown to her a dark figure with glowing dark red and purple eyes that resembles her staring at her while smiling evilly as it enters her body, Anna a chill ran down her spine she turn around to see no one was there, causing ur to looked at her in concern "Are You Okay Little One? Is Something wrong you looked scared of a sudden." Ur Ask in concern, "Yeah i'm fine." anna answered back, "are you sure you like you seem a ghost." Ur said, "Yeah i'm fine it's probably just the wind let just get back home." anna answered, "Alright." ur said as she and anna made their way back to the carriage
