The beautiful aurora lights were shining brightly above the kingdom of Arendelle. In the tremendous dark sky, the aurora lights were dancing on silent lullabies next to sprinkles of white shining shyly around the moon. A four years old, strawberry-blond pigtails haired bundle of joy with beautiful fair skin and light freckles that dusted her rosy chubby baby cheeks was sitting on a mattress right below the bedroom window. Her big, wide and curious blue-grey eyes gazed at the strange lights with awe. A radiant, lips apart and toothy smile appeared on her face. She turned from the window to look around the room, and her eyes landed on a small figure that was sleeping in a big blue bed. "Elsa!" She whispered while she got down from the mattress and ran towards her sister's bed. She climbed the bed and shook her sister to wake her up. "Elsa, look look look! There are ghosts in the sky!"

A six years old girl with platinum hair that looked almost white under the bright moonlight and light freckles barely visible under her pale skinned cheeks, opened her sleepy eyes tiredly and slowly and revealed azure blue eyes that almost looked cyan. "Anna, I'm tireeed! I wanna sleep." Elsa groaned before she closed her eyes again.

"Elsaaaaaa!" Anna whined at her sister before she started bouncing on her. "You have to see this!"

"Uughh! Fine." Elsa opened her eyes again and lifted herself in a sitting position "What is it?" She said while she rubbed her left eye with her left hand.

Anna quickly grabbed Elsa's right arm. "Come on come on come on!" She pulled her sister from her right hand , off the bed and towards the window. "Look!" She said while she pointed at the strange lightsthat were dancing in the black sky.

Elsa giggled at her sister's imagination. "Anna, those are not ghosts!... Hehe… Those are Aurora lights!" Her mother, Queen Aphrodite of Arendelle, once told her about what those strange lights were, when she was only three years old.

"Aulola lights?!" Anna asked curiously.

"Aurora, Anna …Au…rrrrooo…rraa!" She said before she laughed at her sister. "Mommy said that they only appear when all the people of Arendelle are happy! So it means Papa is a good king. And these lights carry our dreams!" She said enthusiastically.

"Waaawww!" Anna gazed at the lights before an idea popped into her mind. She suddenly gasped as an idea clicked in her mind.

Elsa quickly looked at her sister in wonder. "What?" She asked with a raised eyebrow.

Anna leaned forward to Elsa's ear and whispered, "Do you wanna build a snowman?!"

Elsa's eyes widened. "I… I don't know Anna , papa will be angry if we did!"

Or worse. She thought.

"Ahh come on Elsaaa! He only gets angwy-"

"Angry." Elsa corrected

"-Angry… Only if we do something wrong… Besides, he is sleeping!" Anna reasoned before she started pulling her sister's sleeve, "Pleaseeeee?"

"I don't know Anna, that's the point… He... He hates my magic. And what if he... You know... Hurt us or something." Again

"Elsa, come on! He only did it once when you froze his crown-"

"Accidentally." Elsa reminded.

"Yeah but… He apologized the next day, right? If anything happens, Mama will hide us in her secret spot, remember!? Then, when he's no longer angry, we'll come out!" Anna said.

Mama always tries to hide me from him. Elsa thought.

"Anna… He always gets-" harsher "-angrier at me than you." Elsa argued.
