Once there were two sisters who were very happy. They had a mother and father who loved them very much. Unfortunately, their mother and father died saving their youngest daughter, Anna. Elsa, the eldest, became twisted in sadness and despair, blaming her sister for their parents' unfortunate demise. Elsa and Anna were put into an orphanage, and Elsa was almost immediately adopted. Anna stayed in the orphanage, alone, believing everything she loved would be taken away.

As the years went by, Elsa graduated college. Coming home, she got a letter from the orphanage. The letter said that Anna would be taken out of the orphanage's care if no one took her. Elsa, finally realizing it wasn't Anna's fault of their parents' deaths, felt guilty. She had left her sister without even visiting and now she was going to be put into the streets during Christmas.

Elsa confidently put her coat on, getting into her car. She drove to her old home, the orphanage and walked up to the nice lady, the receptionist. The receptionist smiles at Elsa, and Elsa nods politely.

"Are you here to adopt or drop someone off?" the receptionist asks.

Elsa clears her throat, "Actually, I'm here to get my sister. Anna Frossen? Can you help me find her?"

The receptionist smiles sadly, "You must be Elsa Bjorgman. Anna needs a good home. The poor girl, she wouldn't be adopted because she kept saying she would lose whoever she loved. Please, take good care of her."

Elsa nods sincerely, and the receptionist leads her to a door next to the front desk. She opens the door, and Elsa is engulfed into her old home. Bunks fill each side of the large room, and children run about, smiling and smiles slightly.

"How old is she now?" Elsa asks.

The receptionist sighs, "She is eighteen, and today is her birthday."

Elsa looks surprised, "Time really flies... wow..."

Elsa stays quiet, thinking. The receptionist leads her over to a bunk.

"Anna? Please come out, your sister is here to take you to your new home," the receptionist says.

A figure shifts in the shadows, "Elsa? She left me years ago... I don't have a home... I don't deserve one..."

Elsa frowns, "Anna? Is that you? Please... Come out... it's me, Elsa."

A figure steps forward, "Elsa?"

The tan girl looks up at Elsa. She is wearing a black tanktop with a large, red flannel hanging on her like a jacket. The girl is wearing baggy jeans and converse that look like they are about to break. She looks fairly clean, and the girl has freckles all over her. The girl continues to look at Elsa, her aquamarine eyes filled with sadness and hurt.

"I'm taking you to my house, Anna. My adopted parents want to meet you, and so does my brother. I miss you, and I'm sorry I never visited..." Elsa says guiltily.

Anna scuffs her shoe, "It's fine... I don't deserve visitors... All I do is hurt people..."

The receptionist coughs, "Anna go get your bag. All the paperwork was done over the phone, and everything seems to be in order."

Anna grabs a small backpack, and the two sisters follow the receptionist back out of the room. She opens the door for Anna and Elsa. Anna immediately steps out, but the receptionist stops Elsa.

"Be good to her. Promise me you won't hurt her broken heart anymore than it already is. Give her time..."

Elsa nods, "I promise. I owe her this, and I love her... I will help her."

The receptionist smiles, and they bid their goodbyes. Elsa walks out of the orphanage, Anna waiting right outside the orphanage, staring at the ground. Elsa shivers from the cool December air. Elsa walks to the car, Anna following behind her. Opening the trunk, Elsa puts Anna's backpack into the car. She closes it, huffing out a big breath. Anna gets into the passenger seat, buckling her seat belt. Elsa walks to her side of the car and turns on the engine. She buckles her seat belt and begins to drive.

"Where are we going?" Anna asks.

Elsa smiles, "It's your birthday, right? Well I'm going to go get you a hot chocolate!"

Anna nods, "You don't have to... I don't need it."

Elsa shakes her head, "No... I'm getting you one, and that's final."

Parking the car, Elsa pulls her keys out of the starter and unlocks the doors. Anna steps out, still staring at the ground. Elsa walks out, shutting her door and locking the car up.

"Come on," Elsa says happily.

Anna nods and follows Elsa inside. A spunky blonde smiles up at them and waves at Elsa.

"Hey Elsa! Is this your sister? Hi Anna! I'm Rapunzel, Elsa's adopted cousin," the blonde rambles.

Elsa giggles, "Two hot chocolates please 'Punzie. My treat. Keep the change."

Elsa puts a five on the table, and Rapunzel salutes Elsa and begins to make the hot chocolates. Elsa takes Anna to a table. Rapunzel comes over and drops off their hot chocolates, smiling at Anna.

Anna stares at it. Elsa takes a drink of hers and looks questioningly at Anna. Anna blinks and slowly lifts the cup to her face. She takes a sip, making sure to be cautious. Elsa smiles in victory, and Anna takes another drink.

"This is really good... Thank you Elsa," Anna says quietly.

Elsa smiles, "Happy Eighteenth birthday, Anna!"

Anna nods and takes the two empty hot chocolate mugs over to the counter. Elsa and Anna get up, about to leave.

"Bye Rapunzel! See you on Saturday!" Elsa calls behind her.

"Bye Elsa! Bye Anna!" Rapunzel says.

Elsa smiles, and the sisters get into the car. Elsa begins to drive to her adopted parent's home. Anna was going to be a long process until she trusted Elsa. Elsa smiles, it will be worth it. After all, Elsa won't give up on finding a way to her broken heart.
