Gerda placed the tray of the Queen's breakfast on the counter to smooth out her dark skirts. After fussing over her attire, Gerda halfheartedly proceeded to grab the tray until Kai stopped her and offered to carry it himself; he wore a black overcoat left unbuttoned over his round belly. Gerda nodded her head, grabbed the tea instead, and left the kitchen to bring the Queen her breakfast.
They smiled and bowed before her, placing the morning meal on the table. Elsa smiled in return while thanking them and like the two servants, Elsa adorned a darker navy gown today, much like the one she wore as a child, instead of her bright sapphire dress.
“Kai, if you may,” Elsa began. “Would you be kind enough to go wake Anna?”
A look of surprise came across the servant's face.
“You Majesty, Anna has already awakened and left the castle.” He explained.
“Oh, how long ago was this?”
“About two hours previous.”
Elsa could not fight her own surprise for even though she typically awoke the earliest, Anna had beaten her to it today. “Thank you for informing me, Kai.”
“My pleasure, your Majesty. Would you like for me to send someone for Anna?”
“No, that's quite alright. I know where I can find my sister, however, I would like to pardon you two for the day and the rest of the staff. Please inform the others that they may take leisure from their labors.”
Neither Kai or Gerda could muster words of thanks, but the look on their faces was enough for the Queen. They bowed and departed, leaving Elsa alone at the dining table. She placed her hands in her lap and looked at her breakfast. Her appetite did not come to her this morning, nor did she really expect it to. She cast her eyes out the window, wondering if Anna had missed breakfast too.

.... Anna felt her heart dancing in her chest from the rush of joy this brought her. The princess then looked at the ground, but instead of stomping her foot against the earth like Elsa would, Anna thrust out her palms toward the cobbled turf and it began to to freeze. She then brought her hands together, swirling and cradling the air like she had seen her sister do so many times. A white light began to glow between her palms with swirls of blue dust gathering around it. She carried the ball toward the sky before it burst, covering everything in a fresh layer of snow.
Anna turned around to face her sister, smiling wider than she ever thought possible. Elsa's face only mirrored her sister as they held hands in the snowy courtyard.
“I love you.” Anna squeezed her sister's hands.
“I love you too.
“Do you wanna build a snow man?”
“I thought you would never ask.”
