Okay, fine, 'tally ho' is pretty darn cute. Part of that might be the fact that it's Anna saying it… I seriously cannot get over how incredible she looks. Why did I make that stupid rule again? Maybe I could make a little exception… I bet there's a room around here I could drag her off to- "Oh! Excuse me, Your Majesty. I'm so sorry." The woman was trying to bow and step out of their way, but the crowd made that nearly impossible.

Elsa laid a hand on her shoulder, "Please, it was my fault. I wasn't watching where I was going. I'm sorry."

The young lady looked surprised, but grateful. Her cheeks colored as she gave a small curtsey. The Queen smiled and made her way through the milling people with a lot more care this time.

How did people stand this? Anna's reassuring touch was the only thing keeping her from running screaming from the room. The noise of chatter and laughter was overwhelming to the point of being terrifying, and they had only been inside for hardly a full minute. Her heart felt like it was going to beat right out of her chest. She tightened her grip on her sister's hand. Her lifeline. There was nothing in the world that she trusted to keep her safe like she trusted her Anna. It was just so loud.

A tug on her hand turned her to face the Princess. Odin's breath… she's like a dream. Elsa couldn't stop her eyes from drinking in every last bit of pale, freckled skin, and every luscious curve hidden under that tight, emerald dress. A little ringlet of copper hair hung down to hug a soft cheek, drawing her attention to the cheerful, sparkling aquamarines staring back at her. For a split second, she was glad of all the noise, for it kept anyone from hearing the whimper that escaped her throat.

Anna leaned in, the scent of strawberries was intoxicating, "You weren't watching where you were going? I'm not sure I can believe that. You're the graceful one, I'm the clumsy one, remember?"

"Well, what was I supposed to say? 'Oh, I'm sorry, I was busy thinking about dragging my fiance off to a secluded corner to shatter my own rules into a million sexy pieces. Have you seen what she's wearing?' No… no, I don't think that would do at all."

The redhead tensed for a moment, then quickly nibbled her earlobe, making Elsa's spine quiver. "Come on." She tugged the blonde through the crowd.

"Wait, no! We aren't actually going to…" another shiver, oh but she wanted to so badly, "Anna!"

The Princess didn't say another word. Elsa did her best to not look embarrassed as they weaved between groups of people. At least the music was loud enough here to distract her from the rest of the noise. Now that she wasn't completely bombarded by voices, she could make out a few sporadic words. Had they been audible the whole time? A quick look around showed her that many of the smiling faces in the crowd were directed at them, and that no small number of the shouts were actually cheers intended as congratulations.

Smile! They're here for you, and you've been ignoring them! So she did. More cheering erupted when she waved her thanks, and it grew louder still when she and Anna stopped. How had the younger girl found such an open space in the room? Surely, it had all been packed… oh.

"Anna… you know I haven't danced in years…"

The Princess grinned at her. "And I couldn't skate, but someone made me anyway. So guess who's dancing with her bride-to-be tonight? That's right. It's you, Miss Rules. What kind of fiance would I be if I let you break your own rules so soon after making them? Hopefully this will keep your mind off of-" Elsa pulled her close, and assumed the lead position, "Oh. Okay, um, yeah, I don't know how I thought this was going to help…"

Anna was right. This was certainly not going to help the situation. Luckily, a big part of the Queen's preparation for proposing had been re-learning how to dance, and she was going to make sure Anna knew it. The crowd had quieted by a significant measure when they realized what was about to happen. But Elsa had not anticipated just how good it would feel to have the Princess pressed up against her like this. Again, her heart beat furiously, but this time it was not for fear, it was for Anna. She placed a gentle kiss on the younger girl's nose before beginning their dance.

As soon as they began, the utter delight that washed over Anna's face made all the worries and fright from the evening seem so silly. This was what mattered, right here. Making her True Love happy. Why be afraid of parties, and crowds, and people when you had this to look forward to?

The Princess squealed with laughter as they spun across the dance floor. Arm over her head, she followed perfectly and twirled around, eyes gleaming, before returning to the blonde's arms. Several steps later, to the approval of the crowd, Elsa stepped forward to dip the young girl back. She looked down into that beautiful, smiling face. "I love you."

Anna giggled as she rose into a spin, "I love you too!" she shouted as she threw her free hand into the air. The people roared with cheers, applause, and laughs. Many other couples began joining them on the floor.

There is no better feeling than being with her is there? I've never felt this content, especially not with hundreds of people around… Anna's smiling face clearly reflected similar thoughts in her own mind, You are so perfect, Anna. I really don't deserve you.

The redhead burst out laughing. Had she heard? No, Elsa had made sure to not say that out loud. Then what? Oh wow.

Ignoring the various reproving looks they were getting, and some scattered jokes, Kristoff and Sven stepped onto the dance floor. Each was decked out in their finest outfits, which really just meant that Kristoff's clothes didn't have too many holes in them. Sven was nice enough to be wearing boots on his hooves to not destroy the floor. Elsa could hardly believe that the reindeer was wearing a bright red bow tie.

Kristoff and his date bowed to the royal couple, "Your Majesties. Our most heartfelt congratulations."

Anna rolled her eyes, "Oh stop. You don't have to be all ceremonial."

"I don't?" He glared at Sven, "But you said… Ah! I took a bath for this!" The reindeer looked as innocent as he could. Kristoff gave an exasperated sigh, "The things I do for my friends."

Elsa hid a chuckle behind a hand, "Ice Master," she nodded. "Thank you for coming."

"I will roll my eyes at you too, missy! Don't encourage him. But seriously, thanks, guys. I'm glad you made it."

"I don't think we can be as cute as you two were out here, but we're going to give it a shot. Could we steal some dancing room?"

"No trouble at all," Elsa said. "Anna was just about to pull me away anyway. Something about outside?"

It only took her sister a fraction of a second to catch on. "Yep, you know me, can't sit still. Or… dance… still… whatever. We'll get outta your way. C'mon Els'. Lemme show you the stars!"

Anna didn't know how much more well-wishing she could handle. Normally, she thrived on things like this, but everyone had their limits. Apparently a couple thousand people making very sure that she knew they were happy for her was one of hers. Once they made it through the glass doors and into the quiet night, the exhaustion began to fade. There was no time to be tired when Elsa was around!

She stopped and spun, quick as she could, pulling the blonde into a kiss. Those soft lips eagerly melding to her own, tongues tentatively caressing one another, the occasional moan… it was almost enough to drive a Princess crazy. By the time their mouths parted, she realized she had pressed her sister up against the wall. With a mischievous chuckle, she murmured a false apology, and stepped back.

"I've been wanting to do that all night."

"I have been waiting all night! Ah, I am really regretting my rules right about now."

"Good! I should darn well hope that I entice you enough to make you want to change your mind. But that doesn't mean I'm going to let you." A grateful smile graced the Queen's lips. "Come with me, I really do want to show you something."

She led the way up a flight of stone stairs onto one of the sections of crenelated wall. It wasn't too far of a walk, but she took her time, savoring every moment of those cool fingers entwined with hers. Each chance she got, she was stealing glances at Elsa. The Queen was so awestruck by the view of her own kingdom; Anna could feel herself Awww-ing internally. No matter how powerful she was, how regal she could be, or how expertly she could dance a Princess out of her panties, Elsa was still very much the girl who had spent most of her life locked up in her room. Her newfound eagerness to break out of that shell was one of her most endearing qualities. Not that I don't find everything about her to be her most endearing quality… whatever, she's awesome.

After a few corners on the wall and another staircase, they found themselves atop a flat section of roof. "I would have brought a blanket or something if I had planned this, but… oh!"

Without hesitating, Elsa waved a hand and a big cushy pillow of snow appeared. "Have a seat," she sat down and laid her head back. "It's not cold."

She was right. Being able to infuse the snow with warmth without it melting was so strange, but Anna would never complain about it. Love could do some amazing things. She laid her head on Elsa's glorious chest, forcing her thoughts to stay innocent and only failing a little. "This is amazing."

The blonde laughed, "You've always said that."

"And I'll never stop."

Pale arms wrapped around her, "Good."

They were silent for a while. Just enjoying the night air, and the feel of each other cuddled close. It was so nice to feel like you were the only people in the world. Especially when the one person you truly needed was holding you tight.

"I'm so happy, Els'."

"Mmm, me too."

"I really just wanted to show you all this," her hand flicked up to the sky. "You know I've always loved the stars, but have I ever told you why?"

The blonde shook her head.

"Okay, well, basically… I've always felt like they're watching us, you know? Like they're their own people or something, and their job is to make sure that nothing happens to me. Obviously, I know that's silly, because why would millions of stars just be watching me? Of course they're watching you too. I mean, who wouldn't be watching you?" They both laughed. "Really though… it does feel like they're up there taking care of us. I like to think so, at least. And no matter where we go, they're going to be there for us." She probably thinks you sound crazy… and she's right. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said anything, I'm just being silly."

"No, no, no. It's not silly at all, sweetheart." Elsa lifted her hand, pressing their fingertips together, "Nobody knows what's really going on up there, but I can say for sure that of all the theories I've heard, I like yours the best. The sky is watching over us while we sleep, because it knows we can take care of ourselves during the day. Right?"

"Well, if it doesn't know that we can take care of ourselves by now, then it obviously hasn't been watching at all!"

They laughed again. Anna's hand grew cool. Pressed between Elsa's and her palms was a growing white shape. After a few seconds, it stopped growing and she held it up in the moonlight. Each of its many points glittered as she turned it. She didn't know what to say.

"It's your very own star. Now it can watch over you all the time." Elsa's voice sounded nervous. "Do you… do you like it?"

"Do I like it? Oh Elsa, it's beautiful! I don't… I mean… wow! This is amazing!" She looked up at the blonde's smiling face, "Yep, not gonna stop saying it."

"I would be so sad if you did."

"Well you don't have to worry about that, because guess what!"

"What's that?"

"I'm going to marry you in a few days, and there's nothing you can do about it!"

"You'd better! Or else…"

"Or else what?"

Anna's laughter danced over the walls and down into the city as Elsa once again seemed to be trying to kill her with tickles.
