I am so sorry for the delay in this chapter. I've been really busy. What with the holiday season and working long hours and getting all my shopping done, I just haven't had the time or the energy to write. Hope everyone had a good Christmas and again, I'm really sorry for the delay.

Deer Elsa,

Mor snow went away to day. Sum of the flowers peekd up through the snow. They look so prety. Mama stil wont let me pik any. She ses its to early and theyre to smal yet. She ses that mabe there wil be sum in a cuple weeks. I wish they were here now, but mama ses i hav to wait a litle longer. Only i dont think i can. A cuple weeks is for ever.

Luv,

Anna


Dear Anna,

I know how excited you are about the flowers coming, but Mama's right; you have to be patient. As much as we would like to, we can't wish flowers into existence. Only Mother Nature is in charge of that. If only my magic wasn't keeping me inside all the time, we could make up games to help pass the time until the flowers come.

Papa's started teaching me the history of our kingdom. He says now that I'm nine and a big girl, I can start preparing for the day when I'll become queen. Being queen makes me nervous. I don't know how to be one. What if people find out about my magic and don't like me? I asked Papa this, and he told me not to worry, that I won't be queen for a long time yet. I hope he's right.

Love,

Elsa


I still don't know when the next time jump will be. Because Anna's waiting for the flowers, this one might last a little longer than my others. Please be patient with me.

Thanks for reading! More chapters coming soon! :)
