The ship was entering the Arendelle harbor. The seagulls were squawking over the masts. In about ten minutes Anna would finally see her sister. It was nearly a year since she left for university. She enjoyed it, very much especially with Rapunzel. They're like best friends. However, she missed home, the castle, even Kristoff, but most importantly she missed Elsa. Now in the gentle summer breeze, after a week of sailing, she was finally home. Olaf went on the deck smiling at the blue sky. Few minutes had passed and she saw people on the pier. Looking closely she recognized Elsa, wearing her official dress and queen's tiara. Wow, she came here to greet me personally! They're going to have fun whole summer holidays! Olaf came out of the cabin and smiled at the sight of bright blue sky.

The ship docked without problems and moments later plank was brought so the passengers could get out. Anna was first to run off the ship and threw herself into her sister's arms.
"I've missed you so much, Elsa ."
"I did too, Anna." Queen replied smiling "Hello there, Olaf" she waved her hand on the sight of the snowman.

The castle staff took their luggage. The girls were walking through the city, Elsa nodding everyone who bowed her, Anna talking and waving her hands. Olaf was behind them laughing and talking to both adults and the kids on the way.
"So, Elsa." Anna suddenly changed the topic "Is there someone special in your life? A man by any chance?"
Elsa's eyes went big. "How... I mean, why would you ask such a thing?" she blushed.
Aha! That's why she was so quiet. Anna had smelled the blood. Like a shark! "Come on! You can tell me! I am your sister after all. And it's been almost a year since I left!"
Elsa rolled her eyes. "Yes, Anna. There is… someone special." Her smile widened.
"I knew it! That is so great Elsa!"
Anna kept on demanding that her sister tell her who is it, but Elsa just gave her the telling look. When they've entered the castle courtyard Anna saw Kristoff and Sven, unloading some ice from the carriage. She immediately burst towards them leaving her sister behind. "Kristoff!" she shouted and leaped to him. He caught her and span around. "I've missed you, big guy!"
"Heh, I've missed you too, feisty pants!" mountain man replied while smiling. He put the princess down and she began to pet Sven "Oh, Sven you cutie, how are you?".
Elsa and Olaf went up to them. Snowman waving his hands towards the reindeer and Kristoff.
"Isn't it great, Elsa? That we bumped into Kristoff?" Anna was laughing.
Elsa's face went red. She slowly moved towards Kristoff, grabbed his arm with her hands and leaned by his shoulder.
"Anna. Meet my…" she paused "My special someone." Kristoff scratched the back of his head, blushing.
Anna was suprised. Her face did a poor job of hiding it. Mostly because of how close her jaw was to the floor. She and Olaf stood there for a long while.
"Wow… That's unexpected…" snowman finally said.
"Elsa…" Anna started slowly. The queen was ready for a burst of anger, but her sister just smiled "I am sooo happy for you! Both of you!" She ran to them and hugged the both "Really! This is so great! You make, like the best couple!"
The princess looked at mountain man "Don't you dare to hurt her Kristoff! Or else.."
"I won't." he switched his eyes to Elsa "I promise." They both blushed. Anna saw their eyes looking into each other. She knew Kristoff wouldn't hurt her sister. She was certain of it.
"This is going to be the best summer ever. For all of us!" she finally said laughing.

I wanted to thank everybody who gave this story a chance. I know it's not a very original plot, sometimes it drags & it's full of cliches, but overall as an author I'm happy with the result. Part of being a writer is dealing with the critique and drawing the right conclusions from it. I encourage both positive and negative feedback, so I'd know what I have to work on if I decide to write more in the future. For now I thank You all for reading "Just before winter" :)
