Elsa's POV
Waking up next to Anna is like a dream. When I finally pushed my eyes open, I glanced over at her form feeling my chest flutter with excitement. Why do I have to ruin everything? She's ready for me, and I can't give her what she wants. I'm the worst.
Anna is so unbelievably thoughtful and caring. I honestly just can't fathom the fact that she loves me in the same way. I wrestled with my thoughts before rising from the bed.
"Elsa...?" Her groggy voice traveled through the air, "Where are you going?"
"I'm going for a walk. You go back to sleep! Don't worry, I'll be back soon!"
I quickly dressed and made my way down the stairs. I had to clear my head somehow. After making it outside, I felt as though I could finally breathe.
I made my way down to the rose garden to sit under the big tree. I just needed a place to sit and ponder my.... situation.
My powers are directly related to my emotions.... Love thaws. Does this mean I don't truly love Anna? Are my powers trying to stop us from.... Being with each other? What if I've ruined everything? How will this affect the kingdom? How will this affect Anna? How will this affect..
"Elsa! Something told me I'd find you here..." Grand Pabbie said as he slowly trekked through the rose bushes behind me.
"Why were you looking for me?" I asked.
"Magic is a very Powerful thing. I could sense that you needed some help. You know, Sometimes the most powerful magic exists inside of us."
His eyes were soft.
"Grand Pabbie, what does it mean? I don't want to be too detailed with it, but when I attempt participating in certain activities, my magic reacts."
He looked directly into my eyes.
"Ahhhh, I see. I cannot give advice pertaining to those activities because I simply don't know what you're talking about, however, have you taken the time to monitor what you feel while participating?"
"I haven't, but I know what I feel. I know what I feel about the people involved... well at least I thought I knew. Now I'm not so sure..."
We sat in silence for a bit.
"Elsa, you are one of the strongest people that I know. You can't let fear keep you from following your heart."
Fear.
That's it. I'm so nervous about messing this up. It has to just be the fear.
"Wow! Thanks Grand Pabbie! I think you just solved my problem!"
He didn't really solve the problem. I can't just make the fear go away, but at least now we know what it is.
I nodded to him as I rose from the bench. I placed a kiss on his forehead and thanked him once more. "I am going to address this problem now. I hope you enjoy the rest of your day Grand Pabbie!"

Anna's POV
Elsa left pretty early this morning. She's actually been gone quite a while. I'm hoping all of this doesn't drive a wedge between us or ruin any progress we've already made.
Maybe I've pressured her in some way? I don't want her to feel obligated to do this. Maybe I should just focus on work today.
After getting ready, I found my way to the library. I had to sign some documents anyways. I pulled the stack of papers over to the center of my desk and began reading each one very carefully.
I had to get my mind off of her somehow.

As lunch time slowly approached and Elsa was still no where to be found, I decided to take a break. I stood from my desk and made my over to the door. When I pulled it open, I almost jumped as she stood with her hand frozen in the air ready to knock.
"Hi..." she spoke softly.
"Hey!" I responded with more volume and excitement.
"Are you okay?" She asked.
"Of course! Are you?"
"I'm... fine."
"Elsa, you don't really sound it... have you eaten lunch?"
"Not yet."
"Let's go." I looped my arm through hers, "we can have one of our classic picnics."
As we were preparing, my eyes found hers many different times. There was so much worry on her face.
This problem had to be solved.
One way or another.
