Hips Don't Lie

Chapter 1
The Company We Keep

By: Soifon

"Ugh, I can't wait to see my Punzi! Feels like it's been forever since I've seen her," A bubbly strawberry blonde chimed as she stuffed shirts, mismatched socks, pants and shorts into a briefcase on her bed in a rush.

"Anna, it's been like 2 weeks since you last saw her," An amused voice sounded from behind her as she turned suddenly towards the voice, pouting.

"Shut your face, Kristoff! 2 weeks is a long time to me," Anna said, standing to pick up her suitcase only to lose her grip, flying backwards into her wardrobe.

"Anna! Here, give it to me," Kristoff quickly got up, picking up the suitcase, but not before exhaling a breath as he felt the weight of her suitcase.

"What the hell do you have in here?" He looked at her as she dusted herself off, turning her nose up at him, walking, past him hurriedly.

"None of your business! Now let's go! Rapunzel will be meeting us!"

"Great," He groaned, dragging the suitcase, slinging another bag of hers over his shoulder. Anna hummed contentedly to herself as they left the apartment, heading down to Kristoff's Honda Civic. The bags were soon tossed into the trunk as the pair got into the car.

"Where's your stuff?" Anna questioned, looking around the backseat then back up at him with a puzzled look on her face. Snapping in his seatbelt and starting the engine, he smiled.

"Underneath all the crap I just tossed in there."

The punch to the arm was worth the laugh.

oooooooooooooo

"Rapunzel!"

"Anna!"

"…Kristoff," The blond man mumbled to himself in mock excitement, leaning against his car watching as the two girls embraced.

"You remember the bf Kristoff?" Anna said, gesturing towards the tall blonde who smiled at the brunette. Rapunzel just grinned, opening her arms.

"Come on, big guy, give us a hug," She stalked her way over to him, wrapping her arms around him.

"Jeeze, you're strong!" Kristoff joked, hugging back. She laughed low; jumping back beside Anna, smile beaming.

"Oh psssh, you know me, keeping these guns loaded takes some effort," She then flexes her spindly arms as Anna bursts into a fit of giggles.

oooooooooooooo

"So, what's the plan tonight? Night on the town, strippers, drinking 'til dawn, the beach—" Rapunzel asked casually, opening the door to her apartment and setting Anna's bookbag down as Kristoff followed suit, placing her luggage down by the sofa. Anna plopped herself on the couch, sighing heavily, her mind suddenly registering what Rapunzel had said.

"Wait, what did you just say?" Anna said, sitting up and looking towards the sounds in the kitchen, ignoring the grin on Kristoff's face.

"Strippers, Anna. Even though that wasn't technically the last thing I said. That was probably the most interesting and obvious," The brunette chimed, laughing a little, meeting Anna's curious eyes from over the bar in her kitchen. She groaned, lying back down, covering her eyes with her arm.

Kristoff sat in the armchair facing away from the kitchen, throwing his hands behind his head, lacing his fingers together neatly as he crossed his feet at the ankles.

"I'm down for that," The blonde grinned; looking over at Anna who lies unmoved, arm still draped over her eyes.

"I will dropkick you right in your Adam's Apple," Anna spoke frankly.

"Nah, Sven and I are going to meet up with a buddy of mine downtown for a couple drinks," Anna moved her arm and sat up quickly to glare at the blonde. He smiled fearfully, suddenly holding up his hands in defense. Rapunzel emerged, noticing Anna's red freckled face and bawled up fists.

"I can't believe you called that pot-head to meet you here!?" The strawberry blonde yelled at the now cowering blonde. He stood quickly, edging away from her and behind the armchair.

"Hey! You get to spend quality time with your best friend! Besides, all you two are gonna talk about are celebrity guys and make-up and compare your butt sizes—"

"Krist—" Rapunzel dashed to her friend's side and quickly put her arm around Anna's shoulders before she could finish, rubbing her arm softly.

"You know, I think my butt's gotten pretty big," The brunette nodded, winking at Kristoff as he had to laugh a bit. The heavy tension cloud that was hovering over the couple, threatening to spill its load slowly dissipated. Anna's shoulders relaxed as she sighed heavily in defeat, resting her head on Rapunzel's shoulder.

"Fine, Kristoff, but I swear if you come back here smelling like a baggie of reefer, I will end you," Anna squinted her eyes at the tall, blonde man who shrunk a little, rubbing the back of his neck nervously.

"Duly…noted…" He mumbled.

"Punzi and I do need to catch up," A grin casually tugged at the corner of Anna's lips just then, nudging her in the side as she nodded in response, chiming in.

"Yes, yes! We have so much to talk about! Guys like you just wouldn't understand!"

ooooooooooooooo

"…so, how's life in the city, Punz?"

"Oh…you know it's pretty good. Job's good too."

Rapunzel sat across from Anna, who was spooning some chocolate frosting off her triple chocolate cake as she lifted a coffee mug to her lips. The air in the small café felt stagnant, but the mood was comfortable. The two had been best friends since their elementary school days. Anna ended up moving a couple hours away to the countryside with Kristoff who was to take over his father's Icee Company but the friend's actively stayed in contact despite the distance. Anna, with a mouthful of frosting, piped up.

"OH! What happened between you and that guy over the summer? You never mention him anymore," Her turquoise eyes aflame with curiosity as she pointed her spoon at her friend. The question seemed to catch the brunette off guard, her mug faltering in her grip slightly. She blinked a few times, biting her lower lip, refusing to meet the stabbing gaze of the fiery strawberry blonde.

"Punz—"

"It didn't work out," Rapunzel swiftly spoke, setting her mug down, albeit more forcefully than she intended, the contents spilling over the rim slightly. The action didn't go unnoticed by Anna as she leaned back in the booth, a slender brow being raised in the process. Rapunzel nodded slowly, then shook her head, shrugging, laughing nervously.

"Eugene was just…oh, he was an arrogant…fool… Just a big ol' man child," Rapunzel said, rolling her green eyes, looking out the window to avoid Anna probing stare. A few minutes of silence rolled by before Rapunzel cautiously turned to find that Anna had her arms crossed, staring at her incredulously.

"Rapunzel…" Anna started slowly, speaking every syllable sharp with emphasis, leaning forward slightly.

Anna was always so delicate when she wanted to be but brutal to everyone who didn't know her well. She was definitely one not to be trifled with. Or lied to in this case. Rapunzel's eyes were drawn to her lap, staring at her hands and they wrung themselves into oblivion from her apprehension. She looked up at Anna, smiling timidly.

"Anna, he…I…I just wasn't into him. That's the honest truth," Rapunzel looked down at her lap once more, unsure of how else to vocalize the words that tore through her mind like a crevice.

Anna sat back and began to tilt her head to the side until she could almost make out the green in her best friends eyes, whispering low.

"…Did you let him touch your butt?"

Rapunzel's head shot up, her face bright red as Anna burst into a fit of giggles, hands flying to cover her mouth.

"Anna!?" Rapunzel gasped, looking around as if afraid someone in the small café may have heard.

Seeing her friend giggling caused her to laugh too, the two girls' snickering like schoolyard friends, sharing an embarrassing secret at recess.

oooooooooooooo

"No, no! That's the witch! Don't go- Damn it, Punz!?"

"Sorry! A Tank came outta-JAYSUS! A Boomer! Uhhh uhhh, he spit on me!?"

"Run, Punzi, run!"

The two girls bobbed and leaned their bodies back and forth on the couch, gripping their controllers with fierce abandon. The sounds of grunts, screams and expletives filled the living room. Anna's face was contorted into a look of pure determination as she killed hordes of zoms with her shotgun. Rapunzel was the opposite, biting her bottom lip nervously, the clickity click of the buttons as she tried to keep up with the guns blazing strawberry blonde.

"Peels here! Don't you die on me, Francis! Punz, watch my back!"

"Damn! There's so many! Hurry up and heal his ass, Anna! I think I see a Smoker!"

"All…most. Done! Hurry! To the Safe House! Gun it! Gun it!"

"I'm in! Shut the damn door!"

"Holy hell! Nice shooting but you need to aim better, Punz," Anna said, leaning back after tossing the Xbox 360 controlled onto the coffee table with Rapunzel following suit.

"Me? How about you worry about you, Ms. Rage Case," Rapunzel joked, slapping the red head's thigh as she got up to move to the kitchen.

"You want anything?" Rapunzel called.

"Nah, I'm good," Anna called back, stretching as a knock sounded.

"Hey, could you get that? It might be Kristoff since he doesn't have a key."

"Yea, yea," The girl got up slothfully, walking past the kitchen to the front door, opening it half expecting the smell of Mary Jane to bless her nostrils. But what blessed her instead was the most striking blonde blue-eyed bombshell she ever laid her eyes on. Anna stood with her mouth hung open, smiling like a doughnut.

"Um, hi. I…must have the wrong address," The blonde woman looked irate, looking Anna up and down with a look fierce enough to give her goose bumps. She opened her mouth to speak, but no sound came out before the blonde mystery woman turned on her heel and bolted off. Snapping out of it after a few moments, Anna called after the woman, chasing her down the breezeway.

"HEY, wait, are you looking for my cousin!?" This gave the woman pause, stopping, back still to the girl. Anna, out of breath and realizing that she really needed to work out, caught her breath.

"You…Rapunz…Good grief, hold on," Anna was holding her knees. The woman half turned around, arms crossed, staring in amusement at the girl.

"Anna? …Elsa?" Rapunzel approached the pair and stared at the blonde, dumbfounded, their eyes met in silence, speaking volumes.

"Oh, Punz, this woman...was at the door. She thought she...had the wrong address. Crazy right?" Anna, leaned up, hands on her hips, exhaling a quick breath. Anna then noticed the two women gazing at one another. She looked at the blonde who still looked a little pissed. And then she looked back at Rapunzel, who looked a bit embarrassed, wringing her hands together, looking almost apologetic. Anna eyes bounced back between the two, unfamiliar with whatever was going on and slowly retreated back into the apartment.

oooooooooooooo

"Um, Anna, this is Elsa."

Anna was on the couch by the time the two of them came back to the apartment. She looked up at a now smiling Elsa who was even more radiant than when she was upset. Anna stood up, wandering over to the blonde, holding out her hand to shake it. Rapunzel took a deep breath.

"She's my girlfriend."

Anna was smiling as she shook the woman's hand, nodding at Rapunzel who smiled at the redhead anxiously. Then Anna's smile slowly began to fade and then her hand stopped moving, still gripping the blonde's own. The little hamster started to run on his wheel in Anna's mind, a light bulb flickering on, snapping back into reality.

"…GIRLFRIEND!?"
