Elisa stares at her hands that were stretched out in front of her. She focuses on her magic, her eyebrows furrowed. She had been practicing using her magic for the past few days, but it was still a struggle for her. She wasn't sure if it was because she didn't have full control over her powers or if it was because her body was still trying to adjust to having magic again. It was always odd when she came back to Auradon from the Isle. Since magic wasn't allowed on the Isle, her body had grown accustomed to not having it. And then when she came back to Auradon where magic was present, it took a few days for her body to readjust.

She took a deep breath and tried to relax. She slowly exhaled, closing her eyes. Her fingers tingled, a faint glow coming from her hands. She opened her eyes and saw that her hands were glowing. She grinned, feeling a sense of pride. Blue wisps almost looking like frost or snowflakes came from her hands and swirled around her. She smiled widely, creating snowflakes in her hands. She loved this part. It was amazing. She made a small ball of snow, grinning to herself. She threw it up into the air and it exploded like a firework. Snowflakes rained down from the sky, falling onto her skin and melting. She giggled, looking up at the sky and grinning. This was amazing.

"You're adorable." Ben chuckled, his eyes sparkling as he watched her. He was standing a few feet away from her, a fond expression on his face. He had gone to check on her since he hadn't found her that day since the morning and was worried about her. He found her at their spot in the clearing, practicing her powers. He was so proud of her for practicing her powers more. She was making such progress. He could tell how happy she was and it made his heart swell with happiness.

Elisa turns her head, her cheeks flushing when she sees him. She hadn't realized he was there, too lost in her own little world. "Oh, hi." She smiles shyly, biting her lip. "How long have you been there?"

"Long enough." Ben grins, stepping forward and stopping in front of her. He smiles fondly at her, his gaze soft. "You're really cute when you're lost in your magic like that," Ben finished with a warm chuckle, his voice filled with affection. He reached out, gently brushing a snowflake off her hair, watching as it melted into his fingertips. "I love seeing you this happy."

Elisa's face flushed deeper, the warmth of his words spreading through her like a gentle summer breeze. She ducked her head, her hands still tingling with the remnants of magic. "Oh, shut up." She mumbled.

"What? It's true." He chuckles, wrapping his arms around her waist from behind. He surprises her by picking her up and spinning her around, their laughter mingling with the soft sound of the falling snowflakes. Elisa squealed in delight, her heart racing as he twirled her, the world around them becoming a blur of winter magic and warmth. "And actually, you're cute all time. And beautiful. Stunning. Gorgeous. Breathtaking-"

"Stop." She giggles, placing a finger over his lips when he sat her back down on her feet. "You're rambling, my King." She teased, her eyes twinkling.

His heart flutters, his cheeks flushed. He was such a sucker for her calling him that. She always managed to make him blush. He smiles shyly and kisses the pad of her finger before removing it from his lips to kiss her palm. "Sorry, I can't help it." He murmurs, his voice soft yet filled with affection. He pulled her closer, their foreheads touching as he gazed into her eyes. "You're my queen, and I'm going to keep telling you just how amazing you are, even if you try to stop me." He breathed out, staring at her with awe as his hand intertwined with her bare one, making her heart flutter.
