A/N: Welcome to my new one-shot! I am Queen Ice Cat. For those of you who read "The Rancher and the Fox" I decided to write a version where the roles were reversed. I thought it would be cute. So please, enjoy and let me know what you think! Heck I might make this a story after Sound is done, but I don't know, I'll see how things go.
I don't own Frozen or the characters just the idea.
Anna Flowers was a simple, but beautiful woman. With her long red head hair that she kept into twin flowing braids, but she also had a blonde streak that she was born with. Her eyes were as blue as the ocean and they always shined with positivity. And sprinkled on her face and normally exposed shoulders were freckles. She enjoyed the simple things in life, sipping hot chocolate in the town's café while she read her favorite book. Or walking her hound dog puppy Copper around the neighborhood. But what she loved the most was her strawberry patch. It had taken close to two years to start, but after that, half her backyard was filled with the sweet red gems. Luckily for her the backyard was two acres large, so she could dedicate her time to it.
Now Anna generally sold her strawberries the local bakery and farmer's market and the profit was fair. And often she was called Queen Strawberry, due to her red hair. But she didn't mind the name. However lately, the cash flow had slowed. But Anna knew why. It was because something had been eating her strawberries! Well not so much as eat, but the berries were left shriveled up like the juice had been taken. And to Anna it was insane! And she had tried everything to prevent it. Massive cages to cover the patch, fake owls and snakes, which often scared her, non-killing traps, and even a pesticide spray, but none of it worked.
"What am I gonna do Copper? I tried everything!" Anna sighed as she sat in her living room on her favorite chair, Copper lounging lazily in her lap. She rubbed his tummy absentmindedly. But Copper did not answer her.
"Gee Cops you're a real help" Anna chuckled sarcastically, but again he said nothing. The red head pondered ideas for about ten more minutes before she came up with an idea.
"I got it! I'll catch this creature myself!" Anna exclaimed as she popped up onto her feet. Copper let out a yip of surprise as he fell onto the plush carpet. This made Anna gasp in horror,
"Oh my gosh Copper I am so sorry!" she swooped down and scooped the puppy up.
"I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to hurt you! Mommy's sorry" she cried as she hugged him close.
"Can you forgive me?" Anna asked hopefully as she looked at Copper's yellowish brown face. He gave a small woof before licking her nose.
"I love you too Copper, now come on, let's go check out the patch, hopefully I can salvage most of them." Anna said before setting him down. Together they made their way towards the back door.
Anna's day had ended well enough, she was able to harvest a fair amount of strawberries. However Copper had nabbed one and toddled off to eat it. Anna didn't mind one. However she did mind the several dozen that had been sucked dry and left on the stem! But she simply picked them off and tossed them outside the patch, like she normally would. She washed the strawberries and set them in the containers before storing them in the fridge where several other containers laid in stacks.
Later that night Anna crept out the back door to watch for the strawberry thief. She waited, and waited, and waited some more. And before she knew it, the moon was high in the midnight blue sky and she was half asleep in a bush near the patch. But suddenly, the quiet night was interrupted by the sounds of a strange mixture of clicking and squawking. Anna's eye opened and she spied the night sky. But nothing was there. So, with the small flashlight she had brought from the house, she flashed the sharp light around the fast land of green and red. But still, she saw nothing.
"Weird, I thought for sure that-" but the strange sound echoed again, and it sounded close. So, jumping out of the bushes, Anna ran around in hopes of following the sound. She waited for a good minute before she heard it again, along with the undeniable sound of a trap being set off. It was then the clicking squawk sounds became loud and frantic.
"Yes!" Anna cheered before running to check the trap. The sound was coming close to the house where the start of the strawberry patch was. The trap set up there was a trigger trap, and it worked.
"Ha I got you now you . . you" Anna started, but when she flashed the light, she couldn't believe what she saw. It was a snow white fruit bat with remarkable blue eyes. And scattered in the cage was a broken, shriveled, strawberry.
"A fruit bat? How is that possible? I live in Indiana for Pete's sake! This is North America!" Anna exclaimed. However the bat continued to make the noises and move frantically around the cage.
"Well I caught you, but now I have to decide what to do with you" Anna sighed as she moved to pick up the handle of the cage.
"Well I would appreciate you letting me go" a lovely alto voice said, revealing to be a female. Anna looked around but saw no one. Was she hearing voices?
"Excuse me, I'm down here!" the voice said again, only louder and a bit irritated. Anna looked down and saw that the fruit bat had calmed down and was looking directly at her. It was clinging to the top of the cage. Anna looked at the flying mammal uncertainly,
"Are you t-talking to me?" Anna asked dumbly.
"Yes, now would you please let me out" it asked again.
"N-No" Anna said. The fruit bat tilted its head and gave her a shocked look.
"No? What do you mean no, release me this instant!" the bat almost shouted.
"I said no, you're the one that's been all my strawberries! And on top of that, you're in the wrong continent!" Anna said gesturing wildly all over the place.
"I know exactly where I am thank you, I've lived here long before you got here!" the bat said with a huff.
"How? I've lived here for four years and I've never seen you before" Anna said.
"Let me out and I'll show you" the bat bargained. Anna stared with a light glare at the creature for a minute, clearly debating the bat's words.
"Fine, but if you attack me or fly off, if I catch you next time, I'm sending you to the Indianapolis Zoo" Anna warned. But the bat snorted,
"Believe me, they wouldn't be able to keep me in" the lady bat said as Anna cautiously opened the cage. The bat scurried out before flapping its wings and returning to the sky. But, instead of flying away, the bat turned into a cloud of frosty vapor. And once the frost settled, Anna's mouth hung open. Standing in the place of the bat was a beautiful woman.
She was pale, but the moonlight almost made it seem she was glowing. She had thick light blonde hair that was done in a braid and it set on her left shoulder. Her eyes were a sharp, icy blue, and they seemed to pierce Anna's soul. Her shape was extraordinary if Anna had any say in the matter. And she was wearing an ice blue, long sleeved, V-neck shirt that was skin tight, and her black denim jeans equally so. But she wore combat boots. There was some other things that Anna noticed. The first, was that the fruit bat woman had pointed ears, second, she had three topaz studs in each ear, and that her nose, had a one stud in it too.
"Wow" was all Anna said. Then again, she didn't know what to say. What do you say to a woman who goes from fruit bat to hot woman?
"That's all you have to say?" the woman asked. It was then Anna noticed two fangs protruding from her mouth. Ah, that explains it.
"So you're a vampire?" Anna asked as she cleared her throat and shook her head, as if to clear it.
"Yes, that would be correct" the vampire answered.
"Okay, so do you drink blood?" Anna asked, her nervousness fairly obvious.
"Good heavens no, I eat fruit not animals or people." The blonde explained.
"Okay so out of all the places that have much bigger groves, orchards, and so on, why do you continue to attack my strawberry patch, what makes mine so special?" Anna demanded.
"Your strawberries are grown with love, that's what makes them sweeter. And while I have dined on commercial fruit properties, it all ends up in factories, and don't get me started on the pesticides! While yours, goes to that to that bakery and local farmer's market." She explained.
"Thank you, I guess, but wait you're a fruit vampire?" Anna asked.
"I am, my breed is fairly rare, most are blood drinkers, however there are a few animal drinkers in the North West." She explained, her face changing into a peaceful one.
"That is so cool, but listen, I don't mind you being a fruit eating vampire, all power to you, but I kind of need you to stop eating my fruit" the woman gave her a curious look. But Anna took it for something else,
"Its not that I'm not flattered, I am, really, but you see, aside from my real job, my strawberry business kind of brings a little extra money for the house" Anna said with a weak smile.
"I don't think so, you see the thing about my kind is, if we find a food source we tend to stick to it for as long as possible. So I won't be going anywhere" she said with an air of finality.
"E-Excuse me! Now see here!" Anna demands.
"Silence, I will not leave, and you cannot make me, not matter how cute you are" she said pulling a flirtatious smirk.
"W-What?" Anna asked, her blush hidden in the dim lighting.
"No, you can't stay and just eat all my strawberries! Do you know how long it takes for strawberries to grow?!" she continued. Though her blush was still glowing.
"You may be right, I could always just eat the queen of strawberries" she said with a cattish grin. And that drew the line,
"Okay I'm done" Anna said, her blush growing heavily and turned to walk back to the house. She was clearly hallucinating.
"Wait don't go, I was starting to have fun" the blonde purred as Anna walked away, her blush growing by the second.
"Well you can continue to have fun by yourself and away from my strawberries, I'm going to bed" Anna called as she hurried her footsteps to reach her house. Just as she reached the back porch, the blonde supernatural being had floated in front of her back door.
"Please don't leave, I was only teasing" she said with an adorable pout jutting out her lower lip. Wait. Adorable? Anna barely knew this woman she thought her pout was adorable?
"Go tease some other girl who grows strawberries" Anna said trying to walk around the woman. But she merely stepped in front of Anna again. A catty smirk on her face once again. They repeated this little dance for a decent moment then Anna sighed in defeat.
"Okay fine! How about I cut you a deal?" Anna asked with a light growl.
"Oh? A proposition? Do tell my lovely little strawberry" the blonde said, leaning into Anna's personal space again. Oh there's that blush again. Anna pushed, well tried, to push the fruit eater away, but she wouldn't budge.
"Gah! Okay, how about if I give you a third of my strawberries at the end of the week, you leave my patch alone?" Anna offered.
"Hmm that would be lovely, but I want to add to this little bargain" she said.
"What do you want?" Anna asked in slight exasperation. She's barely known this chick for twenty minutes and she's managed to take Anna on a mental roller coaster.
"I want to live with you" she stated. This took Anna by surprise,
"With me? Why?" Anna asked.
"I would be lying if I said it was just for the food. I was hoping to try my luck at eating something else too at some point in time" she said with a casual shrug. But there was something underneath her casualty. Anna stared at her for a minute, then another, and one more after that. She clearly had not caught the implication.
"Okay, I guess that could work, I was hoping to try growing peaches in the future maybe you'll like those" Anna said uncertainly before gesturing the blonde to follow her inside.
"Oh I never got your name" Anna said as they entered the house.
"My name is Elsa" she said.
"It's a beautiful name, my name's Anna" Anna said politely before they went inside.
"What a lovely name, its very fitting" Elsa flirted. And for what seemed like the millionth time, Anna's blush seemed to glow.
"Okay, if you're gonna live here, you gotta stop with that" Anna squeaked.
"Funny, I said something much worse before and you didn't even bat an eye. You are quite odd Ms. Anna" Elsa pointed out with a teasing wink.
"Worse? What are you ta-"suddenly Elsa's previous words finally sank in. And her blush grew tenfold.
"Oh my gosh Elsa!" Anna squealed. Elsa merely laughed heartily, she would like living here.
A/N: Alright there you have it you guys, I hope you liked it and got a good laugh out of it. I'll see you around!
