The following morning, Elsa stirred from her bed to start the day. She spent a long time brushing her teeth, washing up, brushing her hair and getting dressed. After emerging from her chambers Elsa went downstairs and went into the Great Hall where she met her best and most loyal butler, Kai.
"What can I do for you, your Majesty?" Kai asked.
"Yes, can you do me a favor and ask the cook to prep some food for a picnic I'm planning to have with my sister?" Elsa wrote her orders on a piece of paper and gave it to Kai for him to relay to the cook.
With that, Elsa walked down the hall and back up the stairs and returned to the master bedroom. She walked over to Anna who was still in her bed, sleeping in. "Anna," she whispered.
With that, Anna slowly began to stir. "Elsa is that you?" Anna asked weakly.
"It is."
"What is it?"
"What would you say about a sister's day out? Just the two of us."
At that moment, Anna snapped wide awake "Really?"
"Absolutely."
"What do you have in mind?"
"How about we sit down under the old oak and have a little picnic."
"It sounds wonderful."
"I somehow knew you'd think so. Here's the deal I'll be down in the dining hall waiting for our picnic to be prepared. As soon as you groom and get dressed I'll be there waiting for you and we'll go from there."
"Sounds good, Elsa."
"All right, I'll meet you then."
After that Elsa turned and walked out of the room and started back down the stairs as Anna got up from her bed. After a couple of minutes Elsa returned to the dining hall and sat down at a table in the center of the room. She waited for a few more minutes and before long Kai showed up again with the picnic basket.
"Here you go, your Majesty," Kai said.
"Thank you, Kai."
With that, Kai turned and walked out of the room. Right after Kai left, Elsa picked up the basket and Anna approached. Elsa turned around to acknowledge her.
"Are you ready?" asked Elsa.
"Of course."
In a matter of minutes, Elsa and Anna walked through the Great Hall and the throne room and out the front door. Before long, they arrived at the old oak, lay out a large blanket, put down the picnic basket and sat down. The two sisters lay out their picnic lunch.
"A sandwich," Anna gasped as she reached in the basket.
"Your favorite." Elsa replied with a smile.
"You seem happy lately. What's going on?"
"I'm glad you asked. It has something to do with Jack."
"Are you in love?"
Elsa blushed and barely stifled an impending chuckle. "Yes."
Anna grinned and nearly jumped up and down. "Yes! I'm so happy for you!" Anna cried as she swept Elsa into a tight bear hug.
Elsa laughed. "Thank you."
At that moment Anna remembered something. "By the way, I could have sworn I saw you with Jack last night."
"Did you? Really?"
"I had trouble sleeping last night, then I heard you talking under the balcony somewhere and the next thing I noticed he was flying with you in his arms."
"You don't say!"
"I'm serious I saw him!"
"You mean… you can actually see him?"
"Yes!"
Elsa's eyes widened, and she smiled. "I can't believe this! And all this time I thought I was the only one around here to whom Jack was visible."
"Not anymore. You're now in company."
The two sisters hugged each other. Shortly after they broke from their bear hug Elsa became curious about Anna's claim. "So Anna, how did you figure out the Jack Frost existed?"
"Well, last night I looked through some old storybooks from our childhood and I found a particular one about Jack Frost. After thinking about the legend for a while he became visible the moment the story made sense."
"You're kidding, you almost never read."
Anna nodded. "True. I was still curious though."
"Curiosity's good."
Anna nodded. "You know? I can still remember back when you stepped up as Queen you were really serious and often unhappy."
"Well, things change Anna."
"True, and I must say this of all things is definitely for the best," Anna said with a smile.
Elsa smiled back and embraced Anna. "I love you, Anna."
"I love you too, Elsa."
By that time, Elsa and Anna finished their picnic, and the sisters proceeded to pick up the basket, silverware and blanket. After packing up, they headed around the corner of the palace and back through the front door. When they arrived in the throne room Anna decided to break the silence.
"Thank you for the picnic, Elsa."
"You're welcome."
Just then, Kai entered the room. "Would you like me to put away that basket for you, your Majesty?" Kai asked.
"Yes, thank you," Elsa replied.
After Kai left with the basket and silverware, both sisters went upstairs to the master bedroom. Once they were in the master bedroom they sat alongside each other on Anna's bed.
"Thank you again for the picnic, Elsa," said Anna. "We should do something like that more often."
Elsa smiled, "I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I promise you, After all we faced, what you've been through, nothing's ever going to come between us again." Elsa swept Anna into a big bear hug.
Shortly after they broke from their hug they shared a long moment of silence as if to reflect on their sisterhood past and present. After a while Anna decided to break the silence.
"About what I said regarding Jack Frost?"
"What about him?" asked Elsa.
"Now that he's visible to me I would like to meet him."
"I'll tell him."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
