Later that day, the queen unlocked Elsa's door with a key that the king and her owned. "How are you today Elsa darling?"

Elsa had been reading a book and looked up smiling. "Hello mother."

The queen tried to put her hand on Elsa's shoulder, but Elsa flinched away. "Please…I've told you I really don't want anyone touching me…I will hurt you." The room grew colder.

"I'm sorry dear," The queen replied drawing her hand back.

"It's ok…" Elsa seemed to have something on her mind.

"What is it?" The queen encouraged, smiling gently.

"I saw Anna today. She almost busted into my room," Elsa laughed and then sighed softly, "I miss her, Mama, and well she wants me to come to dinner. I have to eat anyway right? I think I could make it through a meal without using my powers maybe….if I keep the gloves on-"

The queen could see that Elsa was torn, and cut her off, "I will talk to your father, but I would love for you to join us," Elsa beamed, and the queen turned to leave, "I will go right now to talk to your father and arrange what we can!" She then left a hopeful Elsa once again to her books.


"I think it would be good for our daughters," The queen persuaded her husband, "They both really miss each other. Maybe this isn't the best plan."

"Yes it is," The king affirmed, "You and I both know this is the best option for this household. We cannot afford to have another accident."

The king had been pacing around the room, and the queen walked around him and faced right in front of him. "Dinner just once?" The queen remained calm. "Then we can go from there if the meal goes well."

The king sighed and rubbed his temples, "Ok, just once." Then, the king and queen sat down to sort out the details of when this could occur.


A few nights later, Anna munched on her food, eating dinner as usual with her parents and swinging her legs back and forth in the air since her legs had not reached the floor.

"Anna, elbows off the table, dear." Her mother cooed, politely cutting her fish and taking neat bits.

Anna jumped from surprise and blushed bright red. "Sorry." She squeaked, smiling awkwardly. Then Anna out of the corner of her eye saw someone in the doorway. She gasped and dropped her fork. "Elsa!"

The king and queen turned and smiled. "Please join us," The king greeted.

Elsa nodded timidly and sat at a spot next to Anna. Anna could barely stay in her seat. It actually worked. What should she say? Elsa smiled at Anna and began to eat quietly much like their mother.

"I am glad you are here!" Anna exclaimed, breaking the silence.

"Thanks…me too," Elsa replied bashfully, but sincerely. The queen beamed at the king who nodded in understanding.

"Why are you still wearing those gloves?" Anna tilted her head in confusion.

"Oh uh…"

"Your sister can wear what she wants, honey," The queen interjected kindly.

"Oh," Anna smiled, "I like them!" She continued eating, her two braids swinging around, mirroring her legs.

Elsa could she where Anna's hair was a little different, that little white strand, and it hurt her heart, but she kept eating. Conceal. Don't feel. She was proud at how in control she seemed to be with her powers, but could feel her grip slip slightly the longer she sat next to her sister. "Can I be excused?" She asked once she finished her meal.

"But you just got here!" Anna exclaimed. She didn't want the moment to end. Maybe they could hang out all the time now!

Elsa stood up. "At least have some chocolate first!" Anna offered almost desperately. Anna held the plate of delicious chocolates up to her sister.

Elsa eyes grew large as chocolate was her weakness. "Thanks," She said as she took one and walked quickly out of the room.

Anna then stood up. "Let her go," The king said, "It's alright." Anna looked down at the ground and sat down again. "I am sure she will have dinner with us again," He added. The queen grinned next to him.

Anna looked back up and smiled slowly. Then, she stuffed a piece of chocolate in her face.
