A/N: Welcome to my story. As most of the people who've been following this story know, I've decided to continue on with it. Happy reading! Most likely rated M for language, the occasional trigger, and possibly smut if I decide to get descriptive later on: Also, this will probably involve a lot of fluff because... you know, who doesn't like a happy fluffy story once in a while? That being said, there will of course be a plot and some drama throughout.

Usual disclaimer: I don't own Frozen, anything remotely involved with Disney (I might have purchased a hat last time I visited? I do own a Mickey key chain my wife bought me on our honeymoon), I only own the ideas in my head.

An Elsanna Fanfiction

Introduction: College is Hard; So Are Signs

Anna Dearg practically leapt from the old Camry the moment it came to a stop, her camera bag slung over her shoulder. And enough excitement-induced adrenaline coursing through her body to make her visibly shake as her eyes soaked in the sights of Arendelle University, her home for the coming semester.

A new home. I can start fresh here and leave the old Anna behind and be the cool hip Anna I've always wanted to be! thought Anna as she took her first deep breath of University air as a freshman, tossed her strawberry blonde hair back, and turned to head for the trunk of the car just in time to collide face first with the "No Parking or Standing. Fire Lane" sign, crashing to the ground with an audible thud. Great start, Anna.

Anna's hands flew to her face, as did a bright shade of red as she frantically looked around to see if anyone had seen her display of clumsiness. A quick glance left – no one. Another glance right – no one. Anna was about to scramble to her feet when a last glance to the left revealed a pair of skinny jeans and a pair of ice blue Converse sneakers. Slowly looking up, Anna saw the jeans covered a pair of shapely legs leading up to a tucked-in forest green polo shirt sporting the Arendelle University crest.

Finally, Anna's eyes saw one porcelain pale hand being offered in assistance to her while the other hand was attempting unsuccessfully to stifle the giggles emitting from the most gorgeous face Anna had ever laid eyes on. The face in question had pale, almost flawless skin, save a few freckles under big crystal blue eyes, thin rep lips, and a platinum blonde braid that hung over her right shoulder. Anna hadn't thought it'd have been possible for her face to get any redder, but she was wrong; a new flush assaulted her cheeks as she realized that she had been staring at the girl for far longer than was socially appropriate while leaving the girl's hand hanging in mid-air, still waiting to assist Anna in her predicament.

Anna managed to stutter out a quick "Thanks" while grasping the girl's hand and being hoisted up to a standing position as a shiver ran up her arm and coursed through her body – she is freezing! How the hell is she so damned cold?! It's the end of August, it's 85 degrees out and she's cold! She's in a cotton polo shirt for crying out loud! At least I think its cotton. Maybe it's a hybrid material? I wonder what it feels like. I wonder what she feels like. Wait, what?
 "Anna, dear, it's usually polite to pay attention to someone who's speaking to you, and to respond to their questions" Anna's mother, Siobhan, quietly said as she offered the pale girl who was looking at Anna expectantly an apologetic glance.

"You're gorgeous. Wait, what?" Anna's face, that had just started to recover from its initial blush shot into an even darker blush as her own words sunk in. Anna buried her face into her hands, shaking her head back and forth frantically. After a moment, Anna slowly peeked out from behind her hands to see both her parents chuckling and shaking their heads while in contrast, the pale girl had become stiffer than a board, a slight flush creeping into her cheeks.

The girl recovered quickly though and with a nod of her head replied,

"Well, while you were… examining… my Arendelle University polo, I already said my name's Elsa, but gorgeous works too I suppose. So your name's Anna, then?"

At Elsa's admission of noticing Anna admiring her, Anna's head simply drooped and quietly issued a resigned, "Yeah, Anna – apparently studying How-To-Fail-At-Socializing 101". Anna almost jumped as she heard Elsa laugh at her self-admittedly lame attempt at levity. Even her laugh sounds gorgeous. Life is so unfair.

"Well, Anna, I'm one of the Resident Assistants in Leslie Hall – first floor. Welcome to Arendelle U. Maybe I'll see you around?" Elsa asked as she made to move away from Anna and her parents. Probably running away from my giant levels of awkward surmised Anna, until Elsa's parting words sunk in.

"Um… yeah, you will – that's my dorm assignment." stated Anna miserably. Great, now I have an entire semester of trying to awkwardly avoid my RA who happens to be a blonde bombshell and pray she doesn't tell anyone else about my amazing display of coordination today.

"Oh, great, I guess we'll see each other later – we have a hall meeting at five. Don't be late" Elsa said with a grin,

"Don't worry – all the signs in the dorms are attached to the walls. As long as none of those jump out in front of you, you should be golden." With that, Elsa shot Anna another grin and a wink and traipsed off to a group of similarly dressed university students.

Meanwhile, Anna's head was spinning. She winked at me! Does that mean… no it can't. Wait, could it? Anna frantically tried to assess Elsa's appearance but couldn't remember if her nails were short or other such details. Anna you're an idiot. Even if she was gay, do you really think she'd be interested in a clumsy freshman who can't even carry on a normal conversation? That oh great wasn't a confirmation of happiness, it was a tactful admission of horror! Better start looking to transfer to a new school, Anna. You're doomed.

"Earth to Anna," Anna's father, Aiden, exclaimed, waving his hand in front of Anna's face, "let's get your things up to your room. You can finish checking out the random college girl later, okay!?"

Anna shot around to face her father, barely concealing a panicked expression,

"Dad, I am not checking her out. Besides, Olaf would be pissed!" Anna did her best to laugh off her father's remark which thankfully, seemed to work.

"I know, honey. I'm sure your boyfriend wouldn't mind though – she's cute – oof!" Aiden had the wind knocked out of him as both Siobhan and Anna elbowed him in the gut, "Okay, okay, I get it, girls are gross, yay boys!" Aiden chucked as the three began to unpack Anna's belongings from the car.

If only you knew the truth, Dad…
