Elsa.

Elsa sighed in relief. She's watching the moon as it deflates back and forth. She always love the views in Arendelle when night comes, and sometimes, they're the reasons why she've stayed. She always want to run away and find more majestic views, like soar through the clouds and feel herself be one with the wind.

But she has responsibilities to take care of. And as a ruler, she should be selfless and put her people first at hand.

Elsa jumps when ice begins to form at where she have leaned herself upon. She has to admit, sometimes when she's all grumpy nor distracted, her powers would go rogue against her.

A knock echoes from my bedroom door. Anna's voice follows, "Elsa, may I come in?"

Elsa spun back to the splash of ice on the railings before responding, "sure!"

After hearing the door creak open and footsteps clash against the brandished flooring, Elsa's hands hold on each other in front of her, like they always do. Anna appears within a moment and greets her with a wide grin.

"So?" Elsa starts, awkwardly.

"I just wanna hang with you again," she says. "And talk about our new visitors. Also, that Hiccup guy is really cute, ain't he?"

Elsa chuckled. "Yes, he is. Do you like him?"

"I do, but he has a girlfriend, fiancé I meant, who always look like she's ready for a fight, so..."

"And you have Kristoff."

Anna hesitates, failing to defend herself.

Elsa gave her yet another chuckle. She looks up at her older sister with a chidish scowl. "I know you like him, too."

"I prefer a prince."

"He is a prince!"

"A prince of a small village."

"Don't belittle the guy! He's cute and hot with his armor, and the fact that he trains dragons makes him totally badass!"

"It's just that-" Elsa pauses to sigh and grip on her sister's hand. "Being a queen, I need to marry a king, or a prince, or someone with royal blood. It's the rules."

"Ugh, that's so cliche." Anna groaned loudly.

"Well, what do you want me to do? Force a guy to like me even though he's already in a relationship with someone-?"

"Guys! Guys! Guys!" Olaf enters the room, breaking Elsa's sentence. Olaf's cloud of flurry bounces as he gaily hops toward them. "You need to come downstairs. The guests are giving free dragon rides to everyone who wanna!"

"WHAT." Elsa bursts.

"Yey! Come on, Els." Before Elsa could react, Anna was already dragging her out, making it unable for her to resist.

When they've arrived at the castle square, fireworks began rocketing up from the launchers. Kristoff and the dragon riders cheered at their success.

This made Elsa pissed.

"So beautiful!" Olaf applauds with his hands of stick.

Another batch of fireworks were about to follow until Elsa tramps for the crowd surrounding the launchers.

"Oh, no." Anna frowns at Olaf, chasing after her older sister. Olaf follows as usual.

As Elsa's temper loses, her footsteps leave the asphalt with spiky shapes of ice behind her; a sign of her anger.

"Elsa, I'm so glad you're here-" Kristoff stands up from his crouch and was about to greet the queen with a wide smile when he saw her face, and Anna signalling him that he should stay back.

Kristoff does so cautiously. "What're you doing?" Elsa growls.

Hiccup appears from the crowd within a second to answer her serious question. "We're testing the fireworks as emergency replacements for cannons."

Suddenly, Elsa feels light the moment she turns to Hiccup and her sight focuses only on him. She sees a mysterious aura surrounding him that makes her feel oddly comfortable.

"See, sis? No harm done." Anna pats her sister's shoulder lightly.

"Is there a problem, or something?" Hiccup stutters.

Elsa shakes her head as she says with a flat smile. "No. There's no problem at all. I'm just here to advise you to be careful with using the fireworks, and keep it down since I don't want the people at the town to be disturbed from their sleep. Besides, it's already night." She says as some fits of laughs came from the other side of the square, where some people and their children are begging for more fireworks.

Everyone stifles a laugh, all except the queen. "Sure. We'll keep it down."

Snotlout clumsily bumps on some swords as it clings on the ground, making everyone explode into laughter. "Sorry." Snotloud says, forming a piece sign beside his apologetic smile.

Sighing heavily, Elsa storms back inside the castle, causing the whole square to shut up. Anna was about to follow, to comfort her once again, until Hiccup steps up.

"You might wanna let me since she doesn't like it when other people are near her when she's angry." Anna reminds.

But Hiccup remains faithful that he'll come out alive. "I've handled dragons. I think I can handle her."
