I stood behind my sister as she sat in a chair in front of me while I twisted her hair into a complicated up do.

"Oh, Elsa, I'm so nervous." She said in a shaky voice. "What if he doesn't say 'I do' and changes his mind about being with me?" She babbled nervously with her pre-wedding jitters.

"Anna, Kristoff loves you, he would never even think about doing that to you." I reassured her for the millionth time. I turned her to face me so I could do her makeup and saw the worry clear on her face.

After all this time, despite his obvious adoration for her, she still believed that Kristoff would one day stop loving her. I personally blamed Hans for that. What he did had left a mark on her and gave her insecurities that she hadn't previously known.

He had completely destroyed my happy, trusting, loving  Anna and left a broken, scarred girl in her place and I didn't know if she would ever completely heal from it. It killed me to know that she probably never would...to see her so scared of something so simple.  I wrapped her in my arms and whispered comforting things to her until she finally relaxed into my embrace. 

The only good thing that came out of Hans' betrayal was that it brought me and my sister together. I had missed how close we used to be. I had been emotionally shut out from her for far too long...

After she calmed down I did her makeup, using soft strokes to give her eyes a smoky effect. When I finished I helped her into her dress, carefully sliding it over her head as to not ruin all the hard work i had just put into making her look perfect. It was white with a tight bodice and satin ribbons for the corset, it then bellowed out at her hips, giving off the illusion that the dress moved in waves.

She was stunning in it, and it only complimented her bright blue eyes that matched mine. I skillfully allowed curly stands of her hair fall from the up do and frame her face, accenting her features perfectly.

"Anna, you look absolutely beautiful." I said and she blushed softly, enhancing the effect. "Now common, Kristoff  is waiting for you."

I stayed out in the halls out of respect for the girls getting dressed inside. I had spent all of their lives by their side and it was only in the moments when that were in a state of.. uh.. undress, that I ever really wasn't. Bunny could tease me all he wanted but one thing that we both knew I would never be is a peeping tom. I had more class than that, just because I could be a jerk didn't mean I was a complete ass.

Though one thing he was absolutely right about was that for the last 22 years I had been pretty...lacking in my duties as a guardian.

Truthfully I use to find a lot of joy in bring winter in all of its beautiful glory. It use to be fun. Now my only real interest...my only real joy was in watching over Elsa and Anna and making sure they both got what they had wanted out of life.

Up until recently I felt as if I had been failing miserably. Elsa had been on the verge of falling to pieces and Anna was on the verge of death. Some guardian I was when the two girls I had promised to protect were both so close to being killed...and I could do nothing but watch...

I felt bad for having underestimated Elsa at a time like that, I honestly didn't think that she would have been able to stop what was happening. I had watched in terror as Anna froze solid, momentarily becoming a figure of ice, frozen and scared. I was pleasantly surprised by her as well as exceedingly proud of her abilities when she was able to reverse it. Elsa certainly proved that her love for her sister ran deeper than anyone could ever know, and that Anna's love for her ran just as deep.

Now they were miles ahead of where they were. Anna was a few hours away from marrying the man she loved, and who loved her just as much, and Elsa? She was coming into her powers with marvelous talent and grace and was even accepted for it. She had become a great queen, something she never thought was really possible, but as for me, I always knew her people would adore her. Elsa had brought magic and light into a country that desperately needed it. She was definitely a fearsome woman to behold.

The sound of the doors opening pulled me from his reverie. I turn to see them as Anna stepped out looking every bit the beautiful bride she always dreamed of being. Magnificently adorned in white and a smile from ear to ear. She was absolutely beautiful...but it was Elsa who held my gaze. She wore a floor length, soft blue gown, with a sheer and glittering over lay...ice. She looked graceful and magnificent...and I couldn't take my eyes off of her. Where Anna still had that innocence in her eyes and cuteness in her face, Elsa had stunning elegance, and something about it drew me to her.

For one strange moment I felt warmth spread throughout my face as I noticed she had goosebumps running up her arms. For just that brief instant it was almost as if  I had been caught staring... like she knew I was admiring her. Then quickly I dismissed the thought and with a wave of sadness I came back to my senses...she didn't even know I was there... After that heart breaking second I looked back at her and saw that the goose bumps on her arms were gone, but she seemed slightly flushed.

Or perhaps I had only been imagining things..
