Disclaimer! I do not own the characters would be popping out here and there.
I just had a crazy idea of making a story with all of my favorite Disney and anime characters in one universe XD. As for the Betrothed With You the next chapter is halfway done. I apologize of not being able to update it because the family business was suddenly passed down to me and I only have little time to work on it plus I'll be having an exam next month. So yeah. I've been writing this fic simultaneously with the previews chapters of Betrothed With You. I just couldn't get it out of my head and I needed to write it down. I know I once said I would post this after I finished the other fic but I couldn't stop myself from sharing this early. Anyway I hope you'll like and support this one just like my other fics. Thank you!
Anna Natsuki, a nineteen years old, third year high school student of Arendelle Academy, an all girls school. She's Norwegian and has a quarter of Japanese blood in her veins. Her paternal grandfather was a pure blooded Japanese, Natsuki Hoshi, while her father Natsuki Hideyoshi, was half Norwegian and Japanese. She often visits her relatives in Kyoto, the old capital of Japan, during summer break and winter break. Her grandparents lived in Norway, to establish their family business in Europe before but eventually went back to Japan for good. They couldn't abandon their family seat. Anna wanted to see her grandparents again and of course she always loved the private outdoor hot spring in their property. The Natsuki clan were rich of some sort and has large piece of land, which was given to them by a warlord for their loyalty centuries back then, they eventually became a powerful clan themselves. For her, her grandparents' home was a paradise, unlike her small room in her dormitory, she couldn't wait to bust herself out of the hell hole of a room she has when winter break comes. Also her childhood friends were there and a person she hadn't seen since she transferred.
"Anna?" a voice called out.
Anna snapped at her thoughts and saw Elsa Aren, who has a soft smile on her face. Elsa was the student council president. She has platinum blonde hair, icy blue eyes, pink cheeks and lips. Her skin was pale white like the snow. Anna could describe her in one word. Goddess.
Anna blushed and her heart thumped inside her chest when Elsa leaned in bit. "..hear what I was saying?"
Anna just stared at her as she placed her hand on her chest. Her heart was thumping inside her chest loudly and her face was hot. She saw the goddess sighed and shook her head.
"Anna could you move over a bit so I could place these on Ms. Porter's table?"
"Wait what?" Anna realized she was blocking the doorway and Elsa was carrying about twenty booklets. She blushed once again as she move aside. "Right, sorry." she chuckled nervously and let the goddess enter the classroom.
Once Elsa got in, Anna mentally kicking herself for embarrassing herself like that. She even forgot to offer Elsa her help on carrying those booklets, not that she wanted to be close to Elsa, it's because that's the polite thing to do. She was so busy daydreaming about going back home to her grandparents and failed notice the most beautiful creature in the whole world.
Anna wouldn't admit to anyone and even refused to admit to herself that she has a tiny crush on the platinum blonde, not until Megara coaxed her to spill everything. Anna was transferred by her parents from one of the prestigious all girls school in Japan, Lillian Girls' Academy to Arendelle in her last year of junior high school and that was when she met the prodigy, Elsa Aren. Elsa she was gifted in... well everything, this caught Anna's attention greatly because she knew someone as gifted as Elsa in her previous school also they emanate the same aura that surrounds them. Anna knew what Elsa likes and what Elsa dislikes, as if they were best friends, but they were not. Anna didn't dare to approach the other girl because her shyness and awkwardness prevented her. The popular prodigy was aloof and didn't befriend just anyone, that made Anna hesitant even more. But Elsa eventually had friends in their first year of high school and some of them were part of the student council, and Anna she stayed where she was, Elsa's classmate only. They just know each other because they shared classes and that's all, they aren't even friends. It was disheartening to be invisible in Elsa's sight but it helped her avoid any contact with the platinum blonde for certain reasons.
Anna couldn't help but avoid Elsa, because her heart was beating erratically just the sight of other girl. Anna knew she should stop her feelings no matter what because it would just hurt herself in return. But fate was toying with her, she always find herself in Elsa's class and it made it so difficult to escape her. That's why she always wanted school vacation to last longer and spend it by going to overseas.
Now she found herself walking to her seat near the door when she heard the school bell rang. She was thankful that her teachers allowed them to choose a seat, now she was at the front, she picked front seats for three straight years, she already had the chance to sit at the back once and it was not good for her heart. When she took at seat at back in third year junior high school, she regretted it big time. She could see Elsa from there, who was sitting at the front of the first row and it was too distracting for her. Anna did whatever she could to avoid glancing at Elsa's direction but she couldn't help it. She was always on the verge of dying everyday and her fondness for the other girl grew, it was uncontrollable. Her feelings to the latter became unbearable so she did something that could spare herself from those heart constricting feelings and keep her mind sane. She talked to the admin to transfer her into the night class after few weeks, her reason was her travel time from home was one and half hour drive, it made her attendance crappy for the tardies she accumulated. At first the admin didn't allow her because that was no excuse but she was suddenly informed few days later that there's two students who were willing to swap schedule with her. Anna never been so happy and relieved at the same time. She didn't care whoever those students were as long as she could get out of the morning class.
Anna gained a lot of friends in her night class including Rapunzel and Merida.
Unfortunately, her parents came with a decision of having her live in the university dorm which was inside the school property, there's gate that separate the dorm and the campus, after they learned Anna's tardies in her first few weeks.
Her freshman year in high school came and she did her best to enroll on the night classes but it seemed the students managed to fill in all night classes faster than the morning class. That's why she was stuck in Elsa's class...again. She could escape her class once more if she would let her grades drop but there's no way in hell she'll do that.
The booklets Elsa was carrying earlier were distributed to by Ms. Porter. She was discussing why they've been studying Japanese culture and traditions for the past weeks.
"...trip to Japan." Anna's ears perked up.
"Trip to Japan?" Anna asked in confusion.
"Yes Miss Natsuki, I just said that." her British teacher chuckled. "Alright, I'll repeat. We will have an educational class trip to Japan for about a five days and four nights. The Chairwoman had approved the proposal of educational trip. The first batch will consist of two classes, our class and Ms. Fa's."
Anna couldn't help but smile. She would be able to go see Japan and it's not even winter break! She raised her hand. "Ms. Porter, may I asked if we're going to Kyoto?"
"Of course dear, Kyoto is rich in history and culture after all."
Murmurs erupted in the room.
Adrenaline rushed through her veins when she heard it. "Oh I almost forgot. You'll have a free time to roam around on your own freely but you must have a pair."
Anna felt a nudge on her side and her seatmate, Megara Athens, grinned at her. "You seemed happy."
"Who wouldn't Meg? I get to see my grandparents!"
"Oh I wonder if I can meet your grandparents," Megara stated.
"I'll introduce you to them! Though I think we need to have permission from Ms. Porter if we are going somewhere far from the city." Anna was beyond excited.
Anna told Megara the must to see attraction in Kyoto. The Heian Shrine, the Emperor's Palace and many more. Anna also mentioned she was a volunteer in the shrine whenever she's there. She has the white haori and red hakama in her grandparent's house.
"Attention class! The pairs will be decided by a draw lot." there were complaints heard from the students. "Keep it down, it would be unfair for the people who doesn't have close friends in your class, and it will be an opportunity to get to know each other." Ms. Porter explained.
"Make sure you're here on time tomorrow to decide on the pairs." after that Ms. Porter dismissed her students early so they could prepare for the trip next week.
Anna and Meg went straight to the mall to buy all the necessities they need and of course they bought some clothes, especially Meg. Anna became close to Meg when she started to live in the dorms. They were floormates then became classmates. Megara was someone who Anna considered as best friends since they spent lots of time together. They even do sleepovers at Anna's house over the weekends before going back to the dorm. Megara was the only one who knew about Anna's feelings towards Elsa. Anna was thankful to Meg for keeping her secret and for saving her in multiple awkward occasions.
After they bought clothes, they went to the supermarket to buy Norwegian sweets which they would give to Anna's grandparents, and also would give a certain quarter Russian blue eyed blonde who loved chocolate as much as she does.
Anna half filled the trolley with sweets, unsurprisingly, this girl could survive with only sweets in her system.
"Anna you don't want to have over baggage," Megara warned.
"I know, my luggage would be three-quarters clothes and a quarter for these sweets or maybe half?" she explained.
"What?! Are you serious? What about the things you'll buy?"
Anna let out a wide grin."These sweets will be replaced by my favorite Japanese sweets and some anime merchandise!"
"Ugh, Anna you're such a child." Megara sighed and Anna giggled. "But seriously your room in the dorm is filled with them and especially your room in your parent's house." Meg sighed. "Don't whine on me when you ran out of money."
Anna was pushing the trolley when she halted, making Meg bumped on Anna's back. "What the he- Anna why did you stop?"
"Meg please take this and don't tell that I am here." Anna ran to the other aisle, gaining the attention of the shoppers.
"What's got into her?" Megara confusedly asked herself.
"Hi Megara," greeted the newcomer.
"Oh Elsa, hi."
Anna saw Elsa greeted Megara. Elsa was eyeing the chocolate filled trolley before looking around as if she was searching for something. When Elsa's gaze nearly landed on her she hid herself and went to the other aisle. It's better for Anna to avoid Elsa than embarrass herself. She was hoping she could be paired with Megara or any of her friends. She has an advantage since Rapunzel was her classmate as well. Though Belle and Merida were in other class, they belong to the other class who would be in the first batch.
Anna mindlessly turn to the next aisle and walked aimlessly while her head was hung low.
"Hi Anna."
Anna's whipped her head to the direction of the voice. Her eyes widened when she saw a pair of icy blue eyes looking back at her. Wait wasn't Elsa talking to Megara just now?
"H-Hi! Elsa, fancy seeing you here." she smiled and did her best to keep herself from blushing.
"Me too. I saw Megara earlier, I am guessing you're with her."
Anna played with the tips of her braid. "Yeah, I just went to get uhh," she looked around and immediately picked up a random item from the shelf. "..this for her. Yeah she need this."
Elsa eyed the cereal box, it was a chocolate cereal box. Everyone was aware that Megara wasn't a fan of chocolates. Elsa just smiled.
"Uhh I should get going." Anna excused herself. "See you around." she walked past Elsa who also turned to watch Anna's retreating figure. The platinum blonde smiled a bit.
Anna was sitting on the passenger seat in Meg's sleek purple car. They were driving back to their dorm.
"Next time you'll see Elsa please warn me, don't just run away like that." Megara amusedly said. "I was so sure she was asking herself if I'll eat those amount of chocolates you put in the trolley."
"I panicked okay? I didn't expect to see her there. I was sure she do shopping every friday after school." Anna said.
Anna's statement had compelled Megara to asked. "And how in the world you know that? You are not stalking her, are you?"
"What?! No! Why should I stalk someone who I've been avoiding for years?!" Anna's face was red.
"You tell me, how did you know she do that every friday?"
Anna sighed. "Mom used to shop every friday too and she often bring me with her, but I asked her if she could change her shopping day into thursday so I could shop around without having mini heart attacks." her friend just continued driving.
Megara laughed. "She really did a number on you." Anna stared at her friend. "Why don't you just tell her that you like her."
"I don't like her!" defended Anna. She turned her head to hide her blush.
"And the pigs has wings, right." Megara sarcastically replied. "Anna, you know you can tell me anything, I'll listen.
"I know." Anna softly replied.
They arrived at their dorm and brought up all the things they bought. Gods they were sure heavy, especially the chocolate goods of Anna. Anna's room was located on the second floor to far end of the hall while Megara's room was in the middle. Anna thanked Megara for helping to bring her sweets, despite the complaints she got from the taller girl.
Anna fished out her phone from her pocket and called her mother.
"Hi Mom!"
"Anna-chan! How is my baby?"
"Mooom I am not baby anymore, I am doing great. Geez, how are you and Papa?"
"Quit whining you big baby, we're doing good. Sooo what news?"
"We're going to Japan!" Anna excitedly said.
"Honey, what did I say about planning to go overseas without our permission?"
"No no, it's not that, we're going on a trip to Japan for five days and four nights, it's a school thing! I would be able to see Ojii-sama and Obaa-sama!"
"Really? That's surprising. I guess it would be an advantage for your Papa and I."
"Why mom? Don't tell me you're planning to visit them without me?!" the intensity of Anna voice was beyond normal.
"Ack! Anna-chan! Keep it down, I might go deaf." her mom chuckled at the other line.
"Sorry, hehe."
"Going back, your Papa and I planned to send something. It's a surprise birthday present for your Ojii-sama. He's turning sixty next week."
"Oh right! I almost forgot his birthday!" wait a minute. "Mom! I would be able to give your gift on his birthday! We would be there next week!"
"Great! I will prepare everything! Oh I have to go Anna-chan, we will just drop by your dorm on Sunday, I love you."
"Okay mom, got it! Yes see you. I love you both! Be safe!"
After her conversation with her mom, she pulled out her luggage under her bed and started to sort out the things she'd need and packed them. Well it's better to be ready. Her passport was in there as well, plus her professional camera. Once she was done she changed from her school uniform into more comfortable clothes.
Her usual routine started, she finished her homework first before diving in her bed with her laptop on to watch. She was currently on the season five of Once Upon A Time series on Netflix. Her favorite character was Regina, because she was cool and her funny sarcastic comments.
A knock interrupted her.
"It's open! Come in!"
"No wonder I didn't see you for dinner." Megara sighed as she closed the door and plopped herself beside Anna. "When are you going to stop watching that ridiculously long series?"
Anna eyes were still on the screen. "Until the end. I am a fan of disney too you know."
"I am aware princess. Anyway, one of my friends invited me for a sleepover and she said I could bring friends."
"Which friend?" Anna stood up to get herself a bowl of her chocolate cereals and poured in right amount of milk they just bought then went back to her bed. Mentally thanking her friend for reminding her about dinner.
"Helen Sparta, you know the blonde girl in the other school?"
"Ah the campus princess of Aegean Co-ed school." Anna munched on her cereals while watching. "Wow Emma look so cool with all that leather. Though they shouldn't have changed her hair color."
"Yes that's her. And Anna who's Emma?"
Anna pointed out the lead character. "Her." she went back on eating.
"Soooo, are you going to join us?" Megara asked.
"I am not into sleepover when I barely know who I am with."
"You're with me."
Anna finally looked at her friend who was wearing a light purple dress and black strappy heels, with a black bag on her side. "Nope!" Anna grinned. "You should invite our other friends and besides I still have some catching up with this." she pointed to her laptop.
"So I can't make you go with me? Even if I'll buy you chocolates for a week?"
Anna thought for a while then smiled at Megara. "Nope!"
"Ugh for a second I thought you'll say yes! How can you be sooo innocent and infuriating at the same time?!"
"Because I am Anna." Anna got her nose pinched
"Be thankful you're my best friend!" Megara was annoyed.
Anna gave her a cheeky smile. "Thank you!" and that called for a pinch on both cheeks. "Weeegaraaa! It hwwurts!" her friend let her poor cheeks go.
"I'll go straight to class tomorrow. Don't sleep late and don't forget to eat your breakfast. Also eat proper meals no more cereals for dinner!"
"Ugh Fine! Geez Meg you're just like my mother!" Anna joked.
"Whatever you say kiddo. I'll be going now." Megara gave Anna a kiss on her cheek then smiled.
"Yes mom, be careful,"
"I will Anna baby, bye."
Anna chuckled at their antics. Most of the time Megara acted like a mother towards her and she loved her for that. She continued to watch on her laptop and didn't realized it was already 4 am in the morning. She yawned and stretched for a bit. She really wanted to watch for more but she still have class and the pairings for the trip would be decided. She turned off her laptop and alarmed her phone so she could wake up after three hours since her class starts at eight.
An incessant ringing blared into Anna's ears making her groan in disapproval. She felt so damn sleepy, she wanted to sleep more, she waited for the ringing to stop and it did. She sighed in relief and drifted into her dreamland once more. It's not even two minutes when it rang again.
"For the the love Freyja," she blindly locate her phone and was about to turn off the alarm but it was not her alarm, someone was calling her. The glare of her phone screen made it difficult for her to swipe answer the phone. "Meg?" her voice was hoarse.
"WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!" Megara hissed.
Anna was trying to fight off the sleepiness in her system. "Dorm. Sleeping." she shortly replied.
"What?! Anna it's already half past eight! We're starting the pairing!"
Anna's sat up abruptly. She could feel her heart raising as the sleepiness left her. She glanced at her bedside clock and it was indeed half past eight! She was late!
"Oh gods...Meg I need to get ready! Bye!" Anna got out of her bed in a flash. She went to shower even if the water was cold. She brushed her teeth and combed her hair at the same time, she removed her towel and put on her white short sleeved uniform and pine green double breasted blazer, then securing her pine green skirt that ends about two inch above the knee. She wore her knee length black tights and finally her pair of brown leather shoes.
Anna grabbed her phone, her royal purple necktie and of course her backpack before slamming the door shut and ran down the halls and stairs of her dorm. She ran to her building, and once she was at the second floor she ran towards her classroom. She reached for the door handle that's when she felt a soft hand beneath hers, someone beat her to it. Anna's teal eyes widened when she saw a panting and flushed Elsa. Both of them were panting and flushed actually. The other girl as well was equally surprised. Anna pulled her hand away quickly and let Elsa opened the back door.
"...Jasmine and Cinderella," Ms. Porter was holding two pieces of white paper with names on them. "That's the last of them." but Ms. Porter and the rest of the class looked at Anna and Elsa who got in using the back door.
"I apologize for my lateness Ms. Porter, I was in the chairwoman's office, I was asked to assist her." Elsa explained.
Anna was embarrassed to say the reason why she's late. Anna opened her mouth to speak. "I-I'm sorry I'm late Ms. Porter because..." she reached for the tips of her braids but she just noticed that her hair was down and her necktie was still on her hand. "I overslept."
Ms. Porter just smiled. "Alright, because of your honesty, I'll let it slide. Just this once." Ms. Jane Porter was a kind teacher but Anna didn't want to abuse her kindness.
"Thank you Ms. Porter." they said in unison as they go to their respective seats.
She received a smug look from her best friend as she sat. "Don't." she raised her hand in front of her friend's face.
Megara smirked, clearly amused. "I didn't say a thing." she said.
"I could your hear your thoughts loudly." Anna sighed and fixed her tie. "So who's your pair?"
"Punz, fortunately."
Anna gaped at her. "You're joking." she had a bad feeling about this.
"No, seriously."
So if both of her friends were paired together, who was she paired with? "So do you know who I am paired with?" she cautiously asked.
"About that Anna," Megara trailed off. "Ms. Porter wanted us ALL to be present so the pairing would go smoothly. We were asked to write our own names to put inside a fish bowl."
"Great, you made one for me then." Anna smiled. "So who's my pair?"
Megara hesitated. "Look Anna-"
"Miss Natsuki and Miss Aren." Ms. Porter called out their names. Both of them stood up.
"Since you both aren't present earlier when we did the pairing. It seems you are the only ones who doesn't have a partners, it will only be fitting to pair you up. Also you two will work on a report regarding the tour, just like the others." Ms. Porter's words slowly sink in her head.
Her eyes automatically located the platinum blonde, who surprisingly, looking back at her. She broke eye contact sat down.
"Sorry Feisty." Megara said.
Anna didn't answer, she her mind was too preoccupied at the moment
Anna was back in her dorm. She was still in her white short sleeved shirt and pine green skirt while lying on her tummy, the rest of her uniform were haphazardly placed on a chair. She was pondering about what transpired earlier that morning. The person she wanted to avoid the most became her partner. Whenever Elsa was around, her heart was always acting strange. Now that she became her partner, she's sure she'll die of heart attack. She must suppress her massive crush on the platinum blonde or else she would only receive heart break. Anna often asked herself why Elsa, of all people. Gods, she doesn't know what to do. Also Ms. Porter had asked them to choose any specific tourist attraction they would go to and make a report about it.
Her enthusiasm for the trip was replaced by dread. She's worried if Elsa found out about her feelings for her and get rejected. Anna couldn't take that and she's terrified of the thought of Elsa would look at her with disgust and loathing.
She picked up her phone and called Megara.
"Meg, I need you." Anna said.
"On my way." Megara replied.
Few moments later, Megara was sitting on her bed, while she laid her head on her best friend's lap.
"Meg what should I do?" she asked her friend warily.
"Be yourself."
She sighed. "Easier said than done." she paused. "Meg, I like her a lot. It's just I'm scared."
"Scared of what?" her friend caressed her red locks.
"That I'll get rejected, that she'll feel disgusted."
"Anna, I understand, but have you ever thought of the possibility that she likes you too?" Megara stated.
"Impossible." Anna dejectedly answered."
"What? Who wouldn't like you? You're sweet, kind, funny and fun to be with. And have you forgotten those boys who pursued you?"
Honestly, Anna did forget those boys because she was thinking of someone else. "Right. But still it's not like she'll notice me."
"Anna don't sell yourself short . You're my best friend, you were there when I had no one to turn to. You helped me to become who I am today." Megara sincerely smiled at her. "You didn't gave up on me Anna, no matter how many times I told you that you are ridiculously annoying." they chuckled at that. "Just try to act normal when you are with her. But if you need assistance, I am at your service princess."
Anna hugged her friend's waist, she was on the verge of tears. "You're the only person I could talk to other than my parents. I wouldn't know what to do if you're not here with me." she smiled. "Thank you mommy Meg."
"Aww my baby is sooo cute!" Megara pinched her cheeks. They giggled but interrupted by a phone call. Anna stared at her best friend/mother.
"Yes, I'll be right down." the call ended.
"Who's that?"
"Your dad and I will be going on a date." Megara blushed shyly.
"Ooh, interesting." Anna sat up and grinned. "Keep me posted and oh say hi to dad for me." both of them laughed. Anna bid her best friend goodbye after that.
Her best friend, Megara, was two years older than her and they're both seniors, because Megara had personal issues prior meeting her and didn't bother to study properly, Megara's peers were the biggest factor of it, plus her cheating ex-boyfriend. It all changed when Megara met her on their third year of junior high, after she settled in the school dorm. It was difficult for her to talk some senses to the older girl but she didn't give up. Eventually they became friends and she had influenced the older girl to start anew, as days and months and years went by, they became who were they now. Megara became protective of her, so as Anna towards Meg. They did have some disagreements but both of them couldn't stay mad at each other for a long time. Most of the times Megara acted like a mom since Anna was stubborn and reckless. When Megara had a boyfriend, and Anna's support didn't falter, she supported their relationship, in the condition she get to call them mom and dad. The couple agreed. Hercules was a nice guy, he's protective, kind, and awkward sometimes, though everyone dubbed him as Megara's hero.
Anna sprawled on her bed with her phone in hand and opened one of her applications, Netflix. She continued where she left off to forget her worries.
After three long episodes a call was received and it was from an unknown number. She raised her eyebrow and answered it.
"Hello?" she started.
"..."
"Hello? Who are you?" she asked.
"..."
"Look, if you don't have anything better to do, stop bothering other people." she coldly said before ending the call. She went back on her series and there was a call again.
"Look, I don't want to deal with you right now!" she harshly said.
"Whoah Feisty, what's got into you?"
"Punz?" she checked the caller ID, it was indeed Rapunzel.
"Yes it's me, so chill." she heard her friend chuckle.
"Sorry, it was just..nevermind. What can I do for you?" she asked politely.
"Oh right, remember Kristoff from the all boys school?"
"Yeah? What about him?"
"I ran into him today, he asked if he could have your number since he couldn't contact you anymore after you changed your number . Should I give it to him?"
"What? Why would he want it?" Anna's eyebrows furrowed.
"No idea, well maybe he wants to hang out with you sometime?"
"Well you see- there's a reason why I changed my number right?."
"But Anna, don't you think it's time for you to open up your heart for true love?"
Anna rolled her eyes. "Nope! I am not looking for love at the moment and I don't know if I'll ever look for one."
"So can I give your new number?"
"Punz-"
"Please please? Pretty please?"
Anna sighed. "Fine, give him my number."
"Yay! I already did! Phew! I thought you'll say no! I was worried that you might used those arrows you own on me." she could hear her friend chuckle nervously.
"WHA- you know what? It's okay I won't use my arrows on you, I'll just use my father's katana instead." Anna grimly replied.
"Haha you're so hilarious, oh Flynn is here! See ya bye!"
The call ended before she could threatened the blonde even more. She sighed. "That blonde."
She changed her uniform and went to have her dinner before taking a shower. Few minutes after that, she was out like a light, her lack of sleep did help to have deep dreamless sleep.
It was sunday evening and her parents went back to their home after dropping the gift they wanted to send to her grandfather. It was about one and a half foot in height and about one foot and four inches in width. Her mom told her it's a portrait but she wouldn't know what it looks like since it's all wrapped up with manila paper and has white strings to keep the wrappings in place.
She needed to take out the things she already packed for the trip then placed the portrait inside of her luggage. Surprisingly it fit in perfectly but she knew not all people in the airport would handle each luggage with care so she has just the thing, bubble wrap. She bought excessive amount of it even if she only needed a portion when she sent her cousin a package few months ago. Anna used all the bubble wrap she has to ensure that the portrait would arrive in one piece. She placed back some her clothes, place the portrait over and then place some of her clothes over it. And of course the bars of chocolates she bought. But she wouldn't have any place for her shoes and other things.
Anna was pondering what to do when an idea struck her. She went out of her room to borrow one of Megara's travel bag.
"I'll return it to you after our trip, my luggage is already full." she pleaded.
Megara chuckled. "Because you filled it with chocolates."
"Meeeeg, it's for my grandparents, I am sure they miss the Norwegian chocolates!"
"Oh I thought you bought them so you could eat them in the trip." Megara searched for her purple leather travel bag. "Here, make sure this baby return in one piece, this is my second favorite bag." Megara handed the bag to her.
"Thank you! Of course I'll return it!" she gave the older girl a hug and a kiss on the cheek. "You're the best!" her friend gave her usual lazy smile.
She returned to her room and packed her remaining things.
Their departure would be tomorrow. Her worries doesn't bother her at all. Nope! She was worry free.
Anna she spoke too soon. Apparently her worries intensified now she was dragging her baby pink luggage towards their campus gate. It was 4 am of monday and she was wearing a black jacket over her uniform. They were asked to wear their uniform, to their dismay since they were looking forward on showing off their fashionable outfits. And the coldness at this time was another downside of the short skirt of their uniform.
Their flight would be at 6 am but they have to travel by bus for about an hour. She was with Megara and they already saw Ms. Porter with majority of her classmates and some from the other class.
"Anna! Meg!" a brunette with dark blue jacket waved her hand in the air. The brunette was with the redhead.
"Good morning Belle! Merida!" Anna cheerfully greeted. A groan escaped from the older girl beside her.
"I bet our friend here didn't get enough sleep?" Belle jested and gestured towards the tall brunette.
"Actually she did but she's not really a morning person, especially this early." Anna answered. She felt there's a sudden weight on her shoulder as arms encircled her from behind. Megara had placed her chin on her Anna's shoulder.
"Whoah, talk about PDA." Merida chuckled. "Aren't you two sweet?"
"Are you jealous Merida?" Megara asked and smirked then kissed Anna's cheek."
"Eww guys stop it!" a newcomer said. Megara felt Anna stiffened.
"Oh Punz just come here and I'll kiss you too." Megara stated. But her eyes immediately went to the person behind Rapunzel. It was Elsa who was busy on her phone.
Megara leaned on Anna's ear and whispered. "Relax, I'm here as promise." she tightened her hold.
"Eww no thank you, Eugene's kisses are the ones I want." Rapunzel noticed the travel bags they brought. "Wow, couple bags? Are you sure you two aren't in a relationship?" she jested.
Anna suddenly thought of something wicked. "Gosh you noticed it just now?"
Megara smirked and joined in. "I think she just did babe."
"What? I thought you're dating-" Rapunzel was cut off by Megara.
"Well it wouldn't hurt him as long as he doesn't know. Having this cutie live close to me help to develop feelings for her. Isn't that right, love?" Megara turn Anna's head leaned in closer to her lips.
"Oh my gods!" Belle gasped while Merida and Rapunzel had their mouth hanging open. They were aware that they lived in the same building and everything was possible when two people were living closely to each other. Especially they're best friends.
Anna slowly closed her eyes then suddenly burst of laughter came from her and Megara.
"Gods! You should've seen your faces!" Megara laughed.
"It's true guys! Man that was epic!" Anna guffawed and she was tearing up because of laughter.
Their friends were still processing what happened. Megara's eyes shifted to the person behind Rapunzel. She noticed that the platinum blonde had her back facing them and her hands were balled into fists. She raised her eyebrow.
The stunned trio was about to say something when Ms. Porter called their attention.
"Okay students! Listen up!" All of them turned their attention to her. "Please leave your luggage at the side of the bus as well as your hand-carries, Mr. Phil here will load them in the compartment."
They did what they were asked to do and left their things.
"Lastly, you should sit next to your partners so I could check the attendance fast." the two classes used only one bus since it there was more than enough seats for them. Ms. Porter and Ms. Fa would be with them.
Anna went pale when she heard that. Her hands became clammy.
"Anna.." Megara said.
"Meg, I can't- I couldn't- what should I do?" Anna nervously asked. Her heart was starting to pump faster.
"I'll figure something out, okay?" Megara assured her.
Anna nodded.
Ms. Porter asked them to get inside the bus, when it was Anna's turn, she took a step up while holding the metal railing, the second step she made on the bus gave her the view of Elsa sitting next to the window. She felt queasy. Her head started to spin. She went to walk toward her seat but she stumbled backwards lucky Megara caught her just in time.
"Feisty? Are you okay?" Megara worriedly asked.
"Shimatta." Anna hissed. "I forgot to take my medication for motion sickness."
Megara assisted her to sit on an empty seat next to the window. "Do you have them in your bag?" she asked.
"I think I packed them somewhere." Anna's world was spinning. Heck the bus isn't even moving yet.
"You think? Anna our bags are already at the compartment." Megara sighed. "Stay here okay?" Megara went to talk to Ms. Porter.
"Oh Anna you look...dreadful." Rapunzel commented.
"Nah this just how I usually look." Anna jested as she closed her eyes. "Ugh I hate bus."
Megara returned and spoke. "Punz, do you mind if you take the seat next to Elsa? Anna here doesn't feel good at the moment."
"Not at all," Rapunzel took the seat next to Elsa. Their seats were on the opposite of sides of the aisle.
"Is she okay?" Elsa asked.
Megara took a seat and answered. "She'll be fine. All she have to do is sleep in the entire duration of the trip. She can be a handful whenever this happen." Megara adjusted Anna's position. "Goodness she even forgot her neck pillow." she sighed and gave her own neck pillow to her half-conscious friend. "There."
"Thanks Meg, I owe you." Anna slurred and lightly brush her lips on Megara's cheek.
"Yes you do, be sure to pay it back when you are better." Megara dryly replied. She leaned Anna's head on her shoulder.
Anna only hummed in response as she drifted to sleep.
An hour later, Anna felt soft fingers on her face.
"Anna, wake up, we're here."
"Huh?" Anna opened her eyes and looked around. She was leaning on Megara's shoulder. She still doesn't feel better.
"We're here Feisty, come I'll help you up." Megara helped her until they were out.
Anna leaned on her friend and tried to shake off the dizziness. She hated the bus, she could ride a car, train, plane depending on the air freshener they were using but not bus. She felt a hand on her shoulder.
"Anna, are you alright?"
she turned around and surprised to see Elsa. "Yeah, I'm fine." she smiled weakly. Thanks to her current state her heart didn't go wild.
"That's good to hear." Elsa smiled at her.
Anna could only say one thing about the flight, tiring. She was sitting there for fifteen full hours and about thirty minute more drive to the hotel they would stay in. She wanted to go straight to her room and get some rest but here she was waiting in the lobby for Ms. Porter to hand her the keycard.
She was leaning on the pillar with her arms cross.
"Gather round please." Ms. Porter said to get the attention of the students. "Ms. Fa would be handing out all of your keycards. There will be one for each student. Please don't lose your keycards."
Anna received her keycard and it's on the 12th floor room 22. Good thing, her luggage was already been brought up. "Hey Meg, what floor are you?"
"7th floor; room 25, how about you?"
"12th floor; room 22." Anna answered as they went to the elevator. They waited until they were the only ones left.
"You're kidding, right?" Megara asked.
"Why should I be?" she pressed the 12th floor.
Megara just shook her head. "Nothing." she felt there was something else going on.
Anna shed off her jacket and draped it over her arm, then the elevator dinged.
"This is my stop, see you tomorrow Feisty." Megara smiled and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"Yeah," Anna resisted the urge to yawn.
The elevator doors closed and she waited to reach her floor. Few minutes later, she found herself in front of her room. She inserted the keycard and opened the door. She was greeted with dimmed lights and a very relaxing ambiance. Just like the way she wanted it. She didn't bother to open the lights since she was alone anyway.
In the room, there was a glass center table with a sophisticated flower arrangement at its center. She smiled as she remembered when her grandparents thought her how to do it. There was also a flat-screen tv mounted on the wall opposite the bed. She removed her blazer and necktie before she tossed them on the queen sized bed in front of her.
Anna sat on the bed for moment pondering what she would do. She stretched a bit and winced.
"Ow ow! My back muscles , gods." an idea popped in her head, she smiled widely. "A warm bath would be nice!" She shed the rest of her uniform and place them on the bed with the others and went to the bathroom, due to the lack of light, she failed to see a blue luggage on the other side of the bed.
Anna missed having warm baths since she doesn't have a bath tub in her dorm. She drew herself a bath and checked the shelves for something. "There you are!" she grinned and took a pink bath bomb and put in the warm water. The crystal clear water turned pink and what surprised her was the scent it gave. "Sakura." she mumbled.
She removed her remaining clothing and cleaned herself using the shower head. Anna then went in the tub and she hummed in satisfaction. She closed her eyes to savor the feeling.
She spent ten minutes in the bath and would stay longer if the water didn't go cold. She stood up and reach for the towel before wrapping it around her bare body. She brushed her teeth and ready to settle for the night. She opened her luggage to get her undergarments and also pulled out her pink silk sleeping robe. After securing her robe she got under the blanket up to her head and she was asleep in no time.
Anna had a dreamless sleep since she was so tired, it was comfortable, which was odd, since whenever she stay in some hotel with her parents, she's not comfortable as she was at the moment.
The students were asked to wake up at seven since they'll be having their breakfast.
She slowly opened her eyes and it was dark, there's no sliver of light in the room since the curtains were drawn closed. But the dim lights should be on right? She didn't turn them off but why was it so dark?
Anna was facing the ceiling before turning on her right only to jerk away when she felt something moved. She blindly search the switch of the bedside lamp and turned it on.
"What in Skadi's name!" Anna shrieked but used her hand to clamped her mouth shut. She back away from the lump beside her and fell off the bed. "Damn chocolate strawberry." she hissed. She rubbed her behind and tightened her robe, she wasn't sure who was this person beside her since the blanket was covering the other person's face.
She crept on the other side of the bed and slowly peeled the blanket away from the sleeping figure. Anna's heart rate went crazy at mere flash of platinum blonde hair. "W-wait she isn't the only one who has platinum blonde hair right?." She tried to convinced herself. Just to make sure, She pulled the blanket a bit forcefully revealing Elsa's serene face and her thin strap silk blue night dress. "E-E-Elsa?!" her eyes were wide like saucers and her face was like a tomato.
Her outburst had waken up the sleeping beauty.
"Anna?" Elsa was staring at her then she pulled the blanket to cover herself.
"H-how.. you slept with me?!" it was too late when Anna realized how bad it sounded. Her face couldn't get any more redder than it already was. "Sorry! I didn't mean it like that!"
Both of them were sporting a blush.
"I k-know," Elsa responded.
"What are you doing here?" Anna's hand was placed on her chest, and tried to calm herself down.
"I am your partner, so we're going to share a room." Elsa explained.
Anna opened her mouth to say something but none came. It all made sense to her, of course her partner would be her room mate. so that means, Elsa would be sleeping with her in the entire trip!
"Shimatta." Anna mumbled to herself.
*Haori - is a traditional Japanese hip-or thigh length kimono-style jacket, worn over a kosode. Shinto Priestess wore the with ones.
*Hakama - have seven deap pleats, two on the back and five on the front. It has two types: a trouser like hakama and a skirt one.
*Shimatta- mean "Oh no!" / "Damn."
I consulted my Japanese dictionary for these and google.
