Anna heard the music blasting and the flashing lights through the windows of the grand mansion. "Okay well we made it but I forgot about how we will get in. I'm sure we need ID to check our names on the list, so what will be our excuse?"

Kristoff shifted his weight to his other leg into a thinking pose, "It will be too suspicious to give an explanation. We won't go in dressed like Cupid and scare of women. We also want to avoid lengthy introductions. Alright we just walk through and we will see what they do and of course dance."

"No I don't want to dance, I am still depressed, I will drink and watch."

"Oh gallant Anna you must dance!" Olaf exclaimed, he was just as fiery as his red hair.

"No thank you. I am clumsy and you are the one wearing the dancing shoes my dear friend. I am full of sadness, it's bringing me down for it is too heavy."

Olaf grabbed her hand, "You are a lover Anna. You need to steal Cupid's wings and have fun."

Anna sighed, "The arrow that shot me is too deep. I won't be able to fly, I'm wounded. I'm drowning from the heavy burden of love."

"Ah but there it is. If you sink you are bringing love down with you. You should never do that to something so wonderful."

"Wonderful, Olaf?" She laughed and rolled her eyes, "I think it's horrible, harsh, and unfair. You can compare it to a rose bush, yes it's beautiful from a distance but then you get closer and it makes you bleed with its thorns."

The young man thought for a moment, "Fine play love back. If it pricks you with its thorns then you prick back, and you win. We are wasting time!" He makes a mask in his hands and smiled when the warmth touched his cheeks, "Oh I love the heat. Kristoff here." Olaf made another mask for his friend, "A Montague needs a Montague mask, a mask out of fire."

Kristoff put it on and absorbed the warmth that spread through his body, "Okay let's go. We will have a drink then dance."

"I will stay drinking Kristoff, I will let the light of hearts take the floor. My dad told me a phrase, that I now believe can be applied to me: you can't lose if you don't play. I will stand watch and you boys have fun." Anna put her mask on and straightened out her dress.

"Really Anna? You are being a stick in the mud, but we are going to pull you from the mud, mud means love at the moment. I'm sorry if i offended you but whatever we should go before the night is up!"

Anna stopped before they got to the gates, "I understand we have good intentions for attending this party but it really isn't smart for us to go."

Olaf furrowed his brows, "Why do think that?"

"I had a dream last night."

"I had a dream too. What's your point?"

Anna chuckled under her breath, "Tell me your dream then. Entertain me."

"It told me that dreamers lie."

"Of course that's what it said. Well they lie in bed dreaming about the truth."

Olaf smirked, "Queen Mab has made her presence to you."

"Who's that?" Kristoff asked.

"She goes around at night in a chariot, she's small, very small. For the chariot is the shell of a hazelnut. For example, she goes to soldiers throats and rides across them, and they dream about slitting their enemies throats. Makes the virgins think of sex, teaches them how to hold someone and bear a child, she is the one-"

"Enough Olaf! That is nonsense." Anna felt the heat at her fingertips.

Olaf noticing it smiled even bigger, "Ah here it is again. I'm talking about dreams. They are children in the brain, they think of only fantasy. Unpredictable like the wind, it blows one way then it changes quickly the other."

Kristoff snorted, "The wind you speak of blows us away from ourselves. Look at the time, I'm sure the food is all gone!"

"He's right Olaf. But I feel like we will get there too early and there will be a consequence for it, like it could be my own death, my untimely demise. At the moment, you lusty boys, whoever is in charge of my fate, let it be!" Anna put on a cheerful face hoping it would spread to her companions. It worked.

Kristoff bellowed, "Lets light up this party!"

"Yes let's go!" Olaf happily.

The group was granted entrance without any problems. The party was full of people, more than they thought there would be considering the Capulets status quo. There was food spread across a long table and waitresses carrying drinks, offering them to the guests.

"It's warmer than I thought," Anna chuckled nervously. She turned quickly at the sound of chaos in the kitchen nearby. She got curious and followed the commotion and saw the little boy from earlier that day.

The boy was looking around, in a panicked fashion,"Potpan! Where is he? He never helps! He should be washing dishes and readying them for the next round!"

"Only a few of these are useful, Peter," a serving man told the boy.

"Thank you my good friend. Can you save me a piece of that please, if you love me. Also bring all those other serving boys in here."

Another serving boy came running quickly to Peters side, "Okay I'm ready for duty!"

"They need you in the great hall." Peter instructed.

A tap on Anna's made her turn around from the drama in the kitchen, "Miss you can't be here, thank you."

Anna shook her head and walked back to her cousin and friend. She then saw Lord Capulet and other who followed, she recognized one of them, Hans. There was one that immediately drew her attention, Anna tried to make eye contact but the young girl just looked at the people on the dance floor. Her trance was interrupted by a loud voice.

"Good evening gentlemen and woman! You all look wonderful I'm sure the ladies and men will dance with all of you! If one you don't dance then you must be shy and boring. Well I'd like to welcome you into my grand home." He opened his arms wide but put them down, and smiled as if in deep thought, "I remember when I can woo the ladies while wearing a mask and just whispering in her ear, ah, but that time has long gone. Turn up the music!"

Anna watched as Kristoff and Olaf went to go dance, also as the Capulet family walked away. She called over a serving boy, "May I ask who that lady is on the arm of that knight."

"No I do not ma'am."

Anna tilted her head admiring the pale blonde, she doesn't seem happy with that gentleman, she thought. "Oh she shows fire to burn bright! She stands out against the darkness, so fair. Her beauty is too good for this world, too beautiful to die and buried like any other woman. She outshines all the ladies like a white dove in a murder of crows." Her heart skipped a beat, "At the end of the night, I will touch her hand with my rough and calluses one. I don't believe, that I have loved anyone before this queen. My eyes lied to me, because I have never seen true beauty like this one." She began to approach the goddess.
