Elsa swept her hair into a brisk bun before walking into the kitchen. Anna was up. Elsa's mouth parted in disbelief. Since when does Anna get up at this time?
"Hey, Elsa, would you mind helping me?" she asked, not bothering to take her eyes off of the book she was looking at.
"If I can." Elsa peered over her shoulder and saw Anna was perusing a colorful magazine, full of recipes for Thanksgiving. Elsa had almost forgotten about Thanksgiving.
"Kristoff says I need to write him a grocery shopping list and he'll go pick up the stuff."
Elsa raised her eyebrows. "He shops for you?"
Anna giggled. "He loves me that much."
Elsa returned Anna's smile and flipped a few pages of the magazine. "Well, we have to have turkey."
"Turkey's okay, but I heard chicken was better for you. Do you think the guys would notice?"
"Notice what?"
"If it was chicken or turkey."
Elsa quirked an eyebrow. "What's with all this health stuff, Anna?"
"Oh, nothing. Just trying to, you know, stay trim and all."
"You are trim."
Anna sighed. "Elsa, really. I need to, you know, shape up, loose a few pounds..."
Elsa rolled her eyes. "You're fine, Anna."
Anna let out a huff. "Elsa, do you think it'd be a big deal to the guys if I switched chicken with turkey?"
Elsa suppressed a sigh. "No, I don't think so."
Anna smiled. "Good. Now, what else do we need?"
"Umm, mashed potatoes?"
"Potatoes?! Elsa, potatoes?!"
Elsa raised her eyebrows, wondering what on earth was wrong with potatoes. "That's what I said."
"They're like the fattiest food ever." Anna lifted a finger. "I have an idea!" She browsed through the magazine. "Here. It's a mashed potato substitute."
Elsa wrinkled her nose as she read the ingredients. "Cauliflower?"
"No one will know the difference!" Anna insisted.
Elsa sighed and shrugged. "If that's what you want."
Anna nodded. "Great. And I was thinking we could veto dessert."
Elsa gave Anna a long, incredulous stare. No way the guys would go for that.
Anna took her silence for acquiescence. "Kay, now I just need to pick out another side or two and—"
"Almost done with the list?" Kristoff strode into the kitchen.
"Almost. Give me a few more minutes."
He frowned and peered over her shoulder. "What's this?"
"Oh, nothing." Anna neatly folded the partially written list and slapped the magazine close.
