(Here's the next chapter! Enjoy!)

"Hold on, my little fighter. Please, keep fighting." Arianna said, gently stroking her sister's head.

Meanwhile, back in Arendelle….

Images of her ill mother filled Elsa's head as she adjusted her ice tiara in the mirror. She sighed deeply. Every day that passed, she only missed her mother more and more.

Anna rested her hand on her sister's shoulder, gripping it gently.

"Hey….you know Mama is really proud of you. I know it." Anna said.

Elsa relaxed at Anna's touch. "What would I do without you? You look beautiful."

"Thank you…..you look beautifuller! I mean, not fuller-actually, you know you have pretty full on hips." Anna giggled.

"Now you're beginning to sound like Mama." Elsa laughed

"Are you ready for the ball?" Anna asked. "It's for you, you know."

"It's a celebration of the recent events of The Great Thaw, and a celebration of you, embracing your powers, and finally leaving isolation to be with the people.

Elsa looked down, blushing yet still smiling. "I suppose so."

Anna rubbed her sister's shoulder. "I know so. There will be plenty of new kings, queens, dukes and duchesses that are so excited to meet you."

"I'm nervous. I'm really really nervous." Elsa replied

"Well first of all, I'm proud of you for admitting your feelings. You're getting better at that. You're going to be just fine. Who knows, you might take my route and find true love!"

"Anna." Elsa rolled her eyes.

"yOu cAn'T mArRy a mAn yOu jUsT mEt." Anna imitated.

Elsa laughed loudly. "True….."

I said not a man to Anna….but I never said anything about a woman. Who knows? I barely know myself, never mind another person.

Elsa turned around and inhaled deeply.

"NOOO! WAIT!" Anna screeched.

Elsa jolted, clearly getting a fright. "Are you alright?"

"Oh yes of course heh…I want to draw you! This one is for Aunt Arianna! Hold still! And stick your bum out more. Yes yes."

"For Odin's sake Anna…"

"I SAID HOLD STILL ELSA!"

"Alright, alright! Don't get your knickers in a knot!" Elsa giggled

Elsa chuckled and posed dramatically.

"There!"

"Anna why do I have a banana on my head?"

"RUDE! That's your crown!" Anna gasped

"I seeeeee."

Anna grabbed Elsa's hand and yanked it towards her. "COME ON!"

"EEEK!" Elsa squealed. "Aren't you forgetting something?"

"What?" Anna asked cluelessly, her hair looking more like an exotic orange bush rather than hair

Elsa sighed and picked up a hairbrush and begin to brush Anna's hair.

"You know, Mama always used to try brush my hair. It was terribly knotty, and I used to scream." Anna giggled.

At the sound of the word 'Mama' Elsa suddenly paused, her face paling.

Anna reached behind for her sister's hand but grabbed a not so hand shaped body part.

"Why are you squeezing my thigh?" Elsa asked, confused.

"That's your thigh?!"

"Yes…..go a little higher-NO THAT'S A BREAST."

"Oops." Anna giggled. At last she was squeezing Elsa's hand.

"You're going to be amazing tonight. Trust me?"

"I trust you. I love you."

"I love you too Elsie." Anna smiled. She linked arms with Elsa and left the room with a grin on her face.

In union, the two royals headed towards the ballroom. Two very serious looking royal guards opened the doors for them.

Knowing their cue, the trumpets began to echo around the bathroom. Since The Great Thaw Elsa had chosen to announce her and Anna together instead of being separate. It felt wrong since they were no longer separated in isolation.

"Presenting Her Majesty Queen Elsa and Her Royal Highness Princess Anna!" Kai announced from the podium.

Still with linked arms, Elsa and Anna gracefully (For once) walked towards the podium.

The audience bowed before the two royals before bursting into applause.

Anna held onto Elsa. "Look at all these new faces! Can you believe it?! All these people travelled far and wide for you! Maybe you'll make a new friend! I wonder if any of them like chocolate….or cake!"

Elsa chuckled. "I think all of them will like chocolate."

"What is that is amazing smell?" Anna asked.

They both inhaled.

"Pickled herring!" Elsa said

"You're supposed to say chocolate!" Anna exclaimed, shocked. "Pickled herring is gross!" She stuck her tongue out in disgust.

Elsa turned back to the crowd, who were going back and forth to the buffet or dancing and talking amongst themselves.

"Now, go lighten up and make some friends!" Anna playfully pushed Elsa off the podium

"Anna!" Elsa stumbled down the small podium trying to keep her balance

*WHAM!*

Elsa felt the impact of another woman slamming into her, or more her slamming into her accidently.

"Oh my Odin, I'm so sorry!" Elsa gasped, extending her hand to help the poor woman off the floor.

The beautiful woman looked up as Elsa helped her up. Elsa's heart stood still.

She was dressed in a beautiful red flowing dress and a golden crown set on her forehead. Her skin was tanned, and her gorgeous brown hair was in a plait. Her shining eyes were the colour of chocolate and lit up as Elsa grasped her hand.

"Thank you." Queen Marisol said.

"Holy…Odin…she is HOT!" Elsa thought, her heart racing in her chest.

She noticed Marisol smiling back at her.

"You fool! Say something Elsa! Come on!" Elsa thought.

"Heh…Um…Ah…You're welcome." Elsa replied, her awkwardness almost an imitation of her sister.

Marisol dropped into a low curtsey before the queen followed by rising to her feet.

"I don't believe we've met. Hola, I'm Marisol of Eldora. It's an honour to finally meet you. "

"I've heard all about a beautiful white-haired queen and her amazing sister! I assume the beautiful white-haired queen is you."

Elsa blushed hard, her cheeks reddening. "Y-yes…that's me. It' wonderful to meet you. Your face is very beautiful-I mean your dress! Yes, I said dress!' Elsa laughed awkwardly,

"Goodness, she is so cute." Marisol thought. "This was definitely worth that long boat ride."

Marisol took a step forward. "How are you so gorgeous- I mean HOW ARE YOU?" Marisol froze.

Elsa giggled, going red again. "You're as bad as me!"

"And honestly….for one moment, I would never think that was a bad thing." Marisol smiled.

"Is it hot in here….or is it just you?" Elsa giggled.

"You really took the plunge hey? I like you. You're a brave one. I think I'm very much going to enjoy my time in Arendelle."

Elsa reached for Marisol's delicate hand. "And I like you too." She said with a smile.
