"Queen Elsa of Arendelle," the butler announced as I made my way to the front of the ballroom. After I was crowned, everyone pilled in here to have the celebration of the new Queen.

I stood with passion in the front as the butler also announced Anna. "Princess Anna of Arendelle." She quickly came running in the room and stopped a few paces away from me, waving.

The butler went over to her and motioned her to go beside me. I quickly looked to the audience as he pushed Anna right at my side. She stepped away and looked away from me clearing her throat.

Everyone went back to dancing and laughing while we stood there awkwardly. I glanced at her and decided to make conversation. "Hi," I said quietly.

Anna looked at me, then around the room, wondering who I was talking to. When she found out it was her, she said, "Who me? Oh, Hi?"

I wanted to laugh but held back. "You look beautiful," I told her. "T-Thank you," she struggled. "Y-You look beautifuller. I mean not fuller you don't look fuller, but, more beautiful." I laughed at that. "Thank you."

We went back to silence for a second until I looked out into the crowd and said, "so, this is what a party looks like." My eyes were wide with wonder when Anna said, "it's warmer than I thought."

I shook my head. "And what is that amazing smell." At the same time Anna and I smelt the air. "Chocolate," we said in unison, and we laughed.

She was about to say something else but was interrupted by the same butler who had announced us. "Your majesty, the duke of weasel town," he stated.

"Weselton," the duke grunted. "The duke of Weselton, your majesty." He stepped a little closer to Anna and I. "As your closest partner in trade, it would be fair to offer your first dance as Queen." And he started doing these weird moves that no normal person would do in front of a Queen. Or anyone for that matter.

When he finished, he bowed. And his white hair, actually a wig, hug down from his head and Anna and I giggled. Trying to hold in our laughter.

He raised back up when I started to speak. "I'm sorry, but I don't dance. But my sister does," I said, gesturing toward Anna.

Anna laughed then realized what I had said. "Wait what?" The duke looped his arm through hers and said, "well, lucky you," and they were off to the dance floor.

Anna gave me a nasty look and all I could do was wave my hand, trying to hold in the laughter. "Sorry," I muttered.

They were on the floor for a few minutes and when a royal couple walked away I had been talking to, I saw Anna emerge from the crowd, gasping for breath.

I laughed. "Well, he was sprightly." Anna rubbed her feet. "Especially for a man in heels," she stated and again I laughed. "Are you okay?" I asked her.

She smiled and put her foot on the ground again. "I've, never been better. I wish it could be like this all the time."

I smiled. "Me too," but then the smile disappeared from my face, realizing the truth. "But it can't." "Well, why not," Anna tried grabbing my arm but I pulled away turning from her. "It just can't!"

I couldn't bear to see the hurt expression on her face, so I kept my back towards her. Though I heard the hurt in her voice as she said, "yeah, I'm gonna go," and she did.

I looked over to see her disappear into the crowd. I sniffed and quickly wiped my eyes, wiping the tears away.

"I'm sorry Anna," I whispered to myself, and walked down the small steps, into the crowd of royals.
