"So guys, welcome to the wonderful world of the AU dining hall." Kristoff joked, picking up his insanely greasy slice of pepperoni pizza. After Kristoff's shift at the Alpha Delta Theta table, he and Anna, along with Rapunzel and Olaf made their way towards the imposing building that served as the student center. One of the newer buildings on campus, the giant structure stuck out on the AU campus, clashing horribly with the original buildings that dotted the school grounds. As Anna took a bite of her spaghetti and meatballs, she couldn't understand what Kristoff was talking about. Although clearly not as good as her mothers cooking, Anna didn't find the food terrible. And judging from the way Olaf and Rapunzel were devouring their food, they didn't find it unstomachable either. Kristoff looked in amusement at the three freshmen before him, and as if reading Anna's mind, he added, "Just wait, they bring out the really good stuff when the president of the university comes to visit, and the Family Weekend stuff is to die for!"

Anna smiled at her friend. They had been friends as long as she could remember, almost from the very beginning. He was funny, fiercely loyal, treating Anna as a younger sister than a friend at times. And even though he had been away at college while Anna was still in high school, he never forgot about her, and he often Skyped her to keep her updated about school and how ice hockey was going.

It was during one of Kristoff's games Anna had decided AU was the place for her. Anna had come to campus to see her childhood friend play in the league championship. And even though she never understood the game very well, it was always the perfect excuse for a large hot chocolate from the snack bar. The campus had been hit by a major snowstorm the day before and the entire campus was covered in a plush blanket of snow. But the snow wasn't even the best part, it was the students running around in the powdery white. Playing like little kids! Anna had always loved the snow, and seeing all of these college students running and playing like little kids made her feel warm and welcome on the grounds. A feeling that never left apparently.

Kristoff looked at his new friends and with a slightly embarrassed smile, turned to Olaf and Rapunzel. "Okay, now I know your names and your faces, but how bout you two remind me what your majors are." Turning to Anna, giving the strawberry blonde a gentle shove on the shoulder. "I already know Miss. Attention-To-Detail is history. She always was good at that. She even helped me with my senior term paper in high school." Rapunzel and Olaf looked at Anna in amazement. They knew she was good at history, and obviously loved it enough to devote her life to it, but they never knew she was smart enough to help a senior in high school with his classes as a freshman.

"What?!" Anna said defensively, "It was the war between Arendelle and the Southern Isles! You know that's my favorite time period!" She pursed her lips into a thin line and sank in her seat, making her dinner guests laugh at her childlike behavior. Kristoff smiled and put a brotherly arm around her, straightening the still pouting girl until she was sitting upright in her chair again. Turning his attention back to the blonde and brunette sitting opposite him, he repeated the question. "So, what brought you two to AU? Punzle?"

Rapunzel put down her fork, a few green peas rolling back onto her plate, mixing with the half eaten mashed potatoes remaining on the plate and looking at Kristoff excitedly, blurted out "Astronomy! I've always been interested in stars and constellations! When I was little my mom told me the stars were lightening bugs that flew so high they got stuck up there and that's why they moved from place to place every night." Kristoff looked impressed, nodding his approval until Anna fake whispered, "It would be more impressive if she hadn't believed it till she was 16."

Rapunzel laughed and made a face at her cousin, which was reciprocated by Anna in near perfection. "Firstly, I did not believe bugs were up there lighting up the night sky until I was 16!" The blonde looked down, brushing a piece of long hair out of her face. "I was 14." She pouted for a moment when her companions began laughing, then after a few moments joined them in their laughter. "Someday, I want to go to the moon. Or discover a new pattern of stars no one has ever seen before! Way cool right!?"

Kristoff nodded eagerly, truly hoping nothing but good things for his friends cousin! Turning to Olaf, Kristoff repeated the question. "How bout you little dude. What brought you to AU?"

Olaf perked up almost instantly. He had known from a very young age what he wanted to be. "I wanna be a psychologist, or a therapist. Someone who helps people and afterwards gives them big warm hugs that would make them forget all about their problems! I think that would be the best thing ever!" Smiling happily at the group, he turned his attention to the eldest member of the group. "So what do you do Kristoff? You're a senior right?! That must be fascinating!"

Kristoff smiled. He loved talking about his major, and there were so few people in his department to talk with. "I'm in the Animal Husbandry department, specializing in cold weather animals."

At the mention of cute little animals, Olaf and Rapunzel immediately perked up. "Animals?! Like penguins?" Olaf shot the question out so fast it overlapped with Rapunzels'. "And polar bears?!" Kristoff laughed. He liked having these two around, always laughing and having a good time. "Yes, penguins and polar bears are great. But my true love is the mighty, majestic…"

"Reindeers!" Anna interjected, cutting off her friend who looked at her with a hurt expression.

"Anna come on, that's the best part!" he moaned, shoving his friend harder with his shoulder and arm together. "And it's just reindeer. No s at the end." Anna laughed and gave him a friendly kiss on the cheek. "I'm sorry Kris, you know I only do it because I care. And besides, you did it to me all growing up with history."

"Ah History, the confused mans major." A deep voice came from behind them and the group turned to see who it belonged to. Approaching the table was a tall, muscular man with auburn hair and sideburns so big they could almost be mistaken for mutton chops. Green eyes sparkled and a smile so charming it could have come from a fairy tale flashed revealing perfect teeth. Kristoff got up from the table and embraced the stranger in a hug, followed by a handshake so complex Anna wondered how they kept it straight. Turning to the group, Kristoff introduced the man. "Everyone, this is Hans. He's the President of Alpha Delta Theta, and one of the coolest guys ever!" Turning to Hans, he pointed to the freshman seated around the table. "Hans this is Olaf, Rapunzel, and…"

"Anna. Kristoff has told me so much about you. He's been talking about almost nothing else for the past year since you decided to join our AU family." Reaching out, Hans took Anna's hand, kissing the top of it lightly. Anna blushed while Rapunzel and Olaf looked at each other teasingly. Pulling up a chair, Hans sat at the end of the table, being sure to be next to Anna. 'Damn, Kristoff wasn't kidding. She really is attractive.' He thought to himself. Trying to seem interested in the other people sitting around the table, Hans shook their hands, pausing to repeat their names so he would remember them for later. "So, did you all have fun at the activity fair? Sign up for anything interesting?"

"I signed up for the Spirit Committee!" Olaf piped in. He was obviously the most spirited of the group and was equally excited to show it to everyone.

"I signed up for the Adventure Club," Rapunzel chimed in. "We're going rock climbing, and white water rafting next month!" The blonde could barely stay still in her seat, obviously estatic to be doing something fun and, slightly dangerous.

Anna leaned over to Hans and whispered, "Her mom is really over protective and never let Rapunzel do anything fun when we were kids. Although she did make some really amazing paintings over the years, being all but locked in her room."

Hans smiled and nodded, showing he understood. Turning the question on Anna, she quickly replied, "I signed up for the Baking Society. My triple chocolate cake is to. Die. For." Happy and content sighs filled the table as the three others heartily agreed.

"Oh come on Anna, that's not all you signed up for." Kristoff said, egging Anna on. When she didn't respond quickly enough, the blonde boy continued. "I saw her talking to the SQ at the LIG table earlier."

Hans looked at Anna with a mixture of shock and disbelief look on his face. "You actually got the the SQ to talk?!"

Anna looked at her cousin and friend who both shrugged, looking as confused as Anna felt. "SQ? I didn't talk to anyone with those initials. I talked to a girl named Elsa, but…"

At the mention of the name, Hans and Kristoff looked at each other and burst out laughing, realizing they would have to explain the name to the newbies on campus. "Elsa is the SQ dummy!" Kristoff said. "SQ stands for Snow Queen because that girl is cold as ice. She hardly ever talks to anyone and hides out in the architecture building day and night."

"The only time she ever leaves that god forsaken place is to come to LIG/ADT meetings and events," Hans chimed in. A thought suddenly popped in his mind. "But you should def join LIG! It's the sister sorority to Alpha Delta Theta! We do stuff with them all the time!" 'This is awesome! It's the perfect opportunity to get to know Anna better!'

Anna couldn't believe what she was hearing! The girl Anna had spoken to had seemed shy, but cold as ice? That hardly described the girl she had met a few hours prior. Anna spoke in the absent girl's defense. "Well I thought she seemed nice! And maybe I will join LIG. Who knows, maybe she just needs a friend." Anna said. Hans and Kristoff looked at each other skeptically, but would allow the opinionated girl to believe what she wanted for now. She would discover the truth soon enough.

"Yeah," Olaf piped in. "I bet Elsa is the nicest, gentlest, warmest person ever!" Everyone smiled at the clear optimism in his words. Olaf always had been an optimist, seeing the good in people before the bad. Even people he had never even met.

Checking her phone for the time, Rapunzel got up to go back to the room she would sharing with Anna for the next few months. The rest of the group followed suit, filing out of their table and heading towards the door of the dining hall. Saying good bye to their new friends, the three freshman headed towards the freshman dorm opposite campus. As they walked, Anna took notice of a large structure in the distance she had never noticed before. It sat on top of a very steep looking hill, with a set of uneven stairs making an almost 45 degree shot up to the top. A sign at the base of the hill read, "Department of Architecture." Anna looked up at the magnificent building that stood before her. It's entire front was white marble with glistening stairs and columns that shot up to the sky. Each pilar had intricate designs too fine to see from such a distance, but Anna was sure they were all hand carved. Anna took note of the gigantic building, as one of the oldest buildings on campus, it had clearly sparked her interest. 'So that's where she spends her time. It looks more like a castle than a building on a college campus.' Anna smiled to herself, 'How appropriate. The Snow Queen got her castle.'
