Springy music filled the Great Hall. Guests danced, ate, and Laughed. Trumpets sounded.

"Queen Elsa of Arendelle." Kai announced.

Elsa entered, poised and looking surprisingly content, on the arm of her Guardian Jack Frost. She stood under a formal awning.

"Princess Anna of Arendelle!" Kai said.

Anna ran into the room, waved awkwardly. Jack ushered her over to stand right next to Elsa.

"Here? Are you sure?" Anna said.

She and Elsa sneaked awkward peeks at each other.

"…Hi." Elsa said.

"Hi me…? Oh. Um. Hi." Anna said.

"…You look great." Elsa said.

"Thank you." Anna said. "You look great too."

"Thank you." Elsa said.

There was a pause.

"Have you been sleeping well?" Elsa asked. "Jack says you have nightmares."

Anna looked at her, confused. "Not that I can remember."

"But I know I heard you scream—"

They were interrupted as the music started up and the chocolate fountain sprang to life.

They looked out at the celebration.

"So, this is what a party looks like?" Elsa said.

"It's warmer than I thought." Anna said.

"And what is that amazing smell?" Elsa said.

They both closed their eyes and inhaled.

"…Chocolate." Elsa and Anna said.

Their eyes popped open. They laughed.

Elsa looked back out at the party. Anna looked at Elsa. She wanted to say so much, but she couldn't think of where to start.

Just as she found her way, Jack interrupted.

"Your Majesty," Jack said formally. "We are to start the first dance."

He offered his hand to Elsa. Prince Hans made his way through the crowd and took Anna's arm.

"See?" Jack said encouragingly, leading Elsa through the dance. "No need to be nervous. It's going great."

"Thanks to you," Elsa said. "The only thing I have to worry about now are foreign dignitaries."

"Yes," Jack chuckled. "That Duke of Weselton, and Prince Hans." He made a face.

"Yeah I don't like how he's dancing with Anna." Elsa said. "He can't turn my head with his flattery, but she might be fooled."

"Don't worry; I'll protect you both." Jack encouraged, spinning her and ending the dance.

He then let her go and Elsa headed back to Anna.

"Are you okay?" Elsa asked, as Anna was bouncing on her heels.

Anna was loving Elsa's attention. "I've never been better. This is so nice. I wish it could be like this all the time. By the way, Prince Hans really likes you—"

"He's not for me." Elsa chuckled. "I wish things could be like this all the time too..."

But then Elsa caught herself. She stiffened up, looked away.

"But it can't." Elsa said.

"Why not? If-" Anna said.

"It just can't." Elsa said.

Anna's smiled dropped. She tried not to get emotional.

"Excuse me for a minute." Anna said.

He walked away. Elsa watched her go, saddened.
