Elsa hurriedly walked down her bedroom, trying to look calm to the maids cleaning around the halls. As soon as she was alone, she sprinted down the hall, ran to her bedroom and slammed the door.

Elsa opened an ice door in her bedroom, revealing a large walk-in closet. There were at least a thousand dresses in there. She sighed. Well, better get started…

Anna softly knocked on her sister's door, and, without anyone responding, she peeked in. No Elsa… Anna slowly walked towards an open door in the room. Strange… Anna walked in, and what she saw completely shocked her. Elsa was completely nude, with twenty or so dresses lying on the floor all around her.

Elsa whirled around, only to see her sister, frozen in shock. She snatched a dress off the floor and used it to cover her bare skin. "What are you doing here?!" Elsa hissed, "Shouldn't you be getting ready for the banquet?"

Anna pressed her lips together… and started laughing like a hyena afterwards.

Elsa scrunched her eyebrows together. "What's so funny?"

Anna wiped a tear from her eye. "You like him, don't you?"

"No, I do not! That's ridiculous!" Came the not-so convincing reply.

Anna raised an eyebrow. "Sure you don't." She pointed to the pile of dresses near Elsa. "You NEVER care about your looks! How do you explain that?"

Elsa blushed, not knowing how to answer.

"See? Look at you! You're as red as a tomato!" Anna started to chuckle. "Do you need any help picking out a dress?"

Elsa blushed again, and quietly muttered "Yes…"

Anna picked out a light blue floor-length gown, with off-the-shoulder sleeves and a soft, shiny underskirt with a sort of fluffy bottom that made her look was an icicle, shooting off snowflakes when she twirled. Elsa smiled at her own reflection. "I love it…"

When the two of them entered the room, everyone's eyes were on Elsa. With her natural bright blue eyes, her warm smile, her hair put up in a bun with snowflakes gently resting on it, and a bright snowflake necklace, she looked… stunning. With Anna dressed up in a simple black evening gown, Elsa looked like she was the most beautiful woman in the world.

Her eyes searched until she found the king. She saw his mouth make a silent "Whoa." sound.

She gracefully walked towards his table. "May I sit here?" Elsa nodded towards an empty chair.

Xavier blinked a few times and stammered "Ye…yea." He shook his head and tried again. "That would be wonderful, Your Majesty." His hand grabbed her chair and pulled it out of the table for her to sit on. Elsa calmly sat on the chair and smirked. Yes!

He pushed the chair back and sat on his own chair, and the two of them chatted all evening.

When it seemed like dinner was almost over, he leaned towards her, and whispered, "Not to be rude, Your Majesty, but I suppose dinner is getting a bit… dull. Would you like to go to the gardens with me?"

Elsa smiled, took his hand an answered, "I would love that."

Elsa looked absolutely breathtaking with the moonlight softly shining on her delicate face. The two of them just walked for a bit, enjoying the cool summer air, and the singing of the birds up on the trees. Elsa spoke up. "It's been a long evening, and I'm a bit tired. Can we sit down for a while?"

Xavier nodded, and sat down on a nearby bench. He took Elsa's hand, looked her in the eyes, and said, "Queen Elsa-"

"No, please, call me Elsa."

Xavier smiled, and tried again. "Elsa, I just wanted to say, that you're the most beautiful woman I have ever met. Whoever you fall for will be the luckiest man in the world, I'm sure." He smiled when Elsa blushed.

Feeling her hand was a bit cold, he asked. "Elsa? Are you feeling a bit chilly?"

Elsa looked at him, stunned. How could he have not known she has powers? Lots of kingdoms already knew. She thought the word would have spread more quickly by now. Instead, she shook her head. "No, I'm fine."

He looked at her, concerned.

Trying to get out of the conversation, she asked, "So, how's Crystaloak doing?"

Xavier answered. "The kingdom is amazing. There are cliffs, they're always full of minerals, crystal, diamonds… It's good." He paused, looking into her eyes. "There's a forest, with lots of animals, and the biggest fruits."

He closed his eyes, continueing, "But, it's getting kind of exhausting, being king and all. There was a previous wildfire, and we lost lots of homes, several people died." His eyebrows were pulled together. "We spent a lot of time trying to recover."

Elsa squeezed his hand, as if to say "Hey, I know exactly how you feel."

He smiled at her, and Elsa felt warmth go through her body.

He leaned in for a kiss… And Elsa over-reacted.

She kneed him in the groin. "Stay away from me!"

Xavier yelped, and looked at her as if she was crazy. "What in the world is wrong with you?"
Elsa glared at him. "You tried to kiss me!"

The king looked confused and shouted. "For goodness sake, Elsa! There was a leaf in your hair!"

She reached up to her head an felt a smooth, round leaf stuck in her bun.

Oh…

She tried to apologize, only to be silenced as he limped back to the castle.
