"Nice ta meet ya!" Merida said, extending her hand and shaking with them.
"Where's my cousin?" Ana asked eagerly.
"She's uh, attending to some business right now. I'm sure she'll be home soon."
"Oh, ok. Well can we go to the palace?"
"Yeah, come on." Merida waved her hand and they followed her.

Ana and Kristoff ran off to see the king and queen, Sven stayed with Angus, getting groomed and pampered, and Merida and Elsa took a walk through the palace gardens. "So you're a queen?" Merida asked.
"Yes. Our parents shipwrecked not too long ago and so the duties passed onto me." Elsa answered with a twinge of hurt in her voice.
"I'm sorry about that. Is there a king?"
"No. I haven't found anyone line that yet."
"Why not? You're pretty and you're nice, not to mention a queen. Wouldn't there be prince's lining up?"
"Well, you see I kind of have these ice powers, and I guess it just scares them off."
"Well that's dumb." Merida blurted. "I mean that's not something to be afraid of or anything, I think it'd be kind of cool actually."
"Really?"

Rapunzel stood up from the table. "Okay, are we done here?" She asked, wiping sauce off her face.
"Uh wait. Can't we just talk awhile longer? Maybe take a walk? Lake through the garden!"
Rapunzel sighed, "Alright then." She agreed.
Walking through the garden, little snow flakes started to hit Rapunzel's nose. "It's snowing? But it's not even fall yet." She wondered aloud.
"Its beautiful." Hans admired, grazing his hand along Rapunzels, but she immediately pulled away.
-
"You're sure this potion will work?" Hans asked.
"Do you doubt my powers." The witch replied defensively.
"I can't afford to fail this time." He answered.
"True love cannot be broken, only hidden. Heartbrake first, then false affection." She riddled.
"What are you droning on about, I just pour this into her drink right?"
"Yes."she replied and Hans started to leave the small home and left before she was finished, "But be warned, this is not true affection but imitation."
-
As they turned the corner Rapunzel stopped in her tracks. Merida and Elsa were kissing.
