🌨Elsa's Pov🌨
It was now Halloween and we were having a costume party tonight in the ballroom. Anna and I were putting the finishing touches on our costumes. Anna loves to sing but I only do it when I'm alone or with her. I've never sang in front of an audience before. We decided to sing a song from our favorite story about the witches of Oz since we were alone.

Elsa, why couldn't you have stayed calm, for once!
Instead of flying off the handle!
I hope you're happy
I hope you're happy now
I hope you're happy how you've
Hurt your cause forever
I hope you think you're clever
I hope you're happy
I hope you're happy too
I hope you're proud how you would
Grovel in submission
To feed your own ambition
So though I can't imagine how
I hope you're happy
Right now
Elsie, listen to me.
Just say you're sorry!
You can still be with the Wizard
What you've worked and waited for
You can have all you ever wanted
I know
But I don't want it
No!
I can't want it anymore
Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by
The rules of someone else's game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes
And leap
It's time to try defying gravity
I think I'll try defying gravity
And you can't pull me down

I turned around to see that mother had been watching us. I gasped and hid under the bed. I heard mama come into the room, lift up the blanket and peek under the bed.

"Elsa, I didn't know you liked to sing." Mama said as I crawled out from under the bed
"Yeah, but I'm always too nervous to sing in front of a crowd."
"Well, tonight at the party, we'll be letting people sing a song of their choice if they want to. Maybe you and Anna could sing together."
"Uh-maybe. I have to think about."

Later that night, Anna and I were putting on our costumes for the party.

"So Elsa, do you wanna sing at the party?"

I knew I was going to have to get over my fear at some point.

"Yeah. Let's do it."

We went down to the ballroom where the guests were waiting. Anna grabs the microphone from Kai..

"Excuse me?! Can I have everyone's attention? My sister would like to preform a song for you. Papa, start the music."

Papa hit the button on the radio player to start the music.

I've been staring at the edge of the water
'Long as I can remember, never really knowing why
I wish I could be the perfect daughter
But I come back to the water, no matter how hard I try
Every turn I take, every trail I track
Every path I make, every road leads back
To the place I know, where I can not go, where I long to be
See the line where the sky meets the sea? It calls me
And no one knows, how far it goes
If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me
One day I'll know, if I go there's just no telling how far I'll go
I know everybody on this island, seems so happy on this island
Everything is by design
I know everybody on this island has a role on this island
So maybe I can roll with mine
I can lead with pride, I can make us strong
I'll be satisfied if I play along
But the voice inside sings a different song
What is wrong with me?
See the light as it shines on the sea? It's blinding
But no one knows, how deep it goes
And it seems like it's calling out to me, so come find me
And let me know, what's beyond that line, will I cross that line?
The line where the sky meets the sea? It calls me
And no one knows, how far it goes
If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me
One day I'll know, how far I'll go

"You did it Elsa!"
