One-shot 01
"A Song"
"Hurry up Elsa! We're going to be late!" Anna exclaims as she puts on her white socks with printed red hearts on it. She grabs hold of her pink bonnet and places it on her strawberry blonde hair, which was tied to two braids. Her cheeks flush from the cold emitting from the air conditioned room she was in. She grabs her black boots from under the drawer and went past her sister's room to the main door. Anna sits down on the newly polished floor and puts on her boots. "Elsa! Seriously, hurry up or the place is going to get packed! We can't miss this!"
Elsa lets out a loud sigh as she continues to fiddle with her fingers. Her heart is beating incredibly fast and her palms are sweaty, and her lips are swollen from biting on it. She can't miss this. She can't miss this event. This is an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and she isn't going to miss this. She isn't going to miss the opportunity to see her long time idol; Jack Frost.
Her brows furrow in dismay as she stares at the poster of him plastered on her white walls. He is the perfect description of perfection. He is the American dream; with a perfect life, a handsome face, blessed with a beautiful voice. He has it all, and Elsa wishes nothing more than to see him in person. She has the biggest crush on him since his first album was released. Needless to say, Elsa became addicted to his songs since then.
"Elsa!"
She snaps out of her thoughts and blinks. She shakes her thoughts of him away, well, for now. There was a concert waiting for her and she can't possibly miss it. No, not in a million years. Because this is Jack Frost they were talking about. She takes a quick glance at the poster once more before grabbing the nearest boots she has and a blue bonnet and walks out of her room, locking the door in place. She hurries to Anna, who's fuming in anger.
"Sorry, I was just-"
"You were just busy staring at his face again. Oh please Elsa. This is the real thing! We have to hurry or we'll miss the concert!" Anna exclaims once again as she grabs Elsa's arm and pushes her out in the freezing winter. Anna closes the door behind her and places the keys on her purse, along with her other essentials. She quickly takes out the car keys and scurries of to the garage.
"You drive."
Elsa raises a brow at this, "No, you drive!"
Anna rolls her eyes. "Are you really going to argue with me about this?"
Elsa groans. "Fine whatever."
She grabs the keys from Anna's hands as she opens the handle and steps inside, thrusting the keys to the ignition and roaring the car to life. She turns on the heater and fixes the mirrors. She grips the steering wheel tightly and starts driving out and to the said concert. Her eyes fix on the road as thoughts are running wildly inside of her head. Endless possibilities and conflict may happen tonight and Elsa is not mentally ready for that.
What if he sees her?
What if she would faint?
What if she embarrasses herself in front of him?
Maybe this was a bad idea.
Elsa feels her stomach churn just by the thought of it. As just predicted, she isn't ready to see him yet. Maybe she should just turn the car away and hide in her room for the rest of her lives. Or she could face her fears and see her idol face to face. Either way, both ideas didn't suite Elsa one bit. She was about to turn the car to the other direction back to their house when Anna stops her from doing so.
"Elsa, I didn't dress nicely tonight for you to chicken out."
"But Anna, maybe this was a bad idea. I mean, c'mon, what if I suddenly faint from the pressure? Or worse, embarrass myself in front of hundreds of people!"
"You know what I think? I think you're exaggerating the whole situation here. And besides, we have the front seats! We're even luckier to have backstage passes! Aren't you even a tad bit happy about this? This is your lifelong dream, Elsa!"
It is true. To be able to meet Jack Frost is Elsa's dream. But the thought of seeing him in person now is a bit too overwhelming for her mind to comprehend now that they're close to their destination. Elsa isn't sure if she wants to meet Jack now. If her past self would've seen this, Elsa bets she would be jumping with joy but now that her present self is finally going to meet him, she isn't sure now that if she really wants to see him.
"Anna, I don't know…"
"Oh heck no, you are not going to turn this car or I swear I'll.."
"It's not that! I just feel nervous and I don't know what to feel if I see him!"
Anna pauses at this and slowly lets herself smile at her. To her, Elsa is like walking time bomb, just waiting to explode at the right time. She somewhat knows what the blonde is feeling and she understands. But tonight was also the night where she gets to meet Kristoff Bjorgman, the drummer of the band. Anna admires the band as much as Elsa does but her feelings for the Kristoff boy is too strong for Anna to ignore. She, too, has been crushing for the man since Elsa introduced her to the band, and like Elsa, she has grown a liking to them, well, specifically to Kristoff.
She folds her arms. "Elsa, it's okay. It's not like he'll disappear if you see him. And besides, I am not going to miss the opportunity of seeing my dear Kristoff playing live! He is going to rock those drums hard and I am not going to miss it! Understood?"
Elsa furrows her brows at this. "The Kristoff?"
"The one and only love of my life." Anna let out a sigh as she places her head on the window. "I don't care what you say but I am going to see him tonight. And it'll be epic so just shut up and drive us to the concert or else."
"Or else what?" Elsa challenges.
Anna turns to Elsa with evil glint in her blue eyes. "Or else I'll take all your Jack posters and burn them in front of you. Oh, and I'll also take all your collections of him."
Elsa is horrified at the thought of it as she shuts her mouth and continues driving them to the concert. Anna smiles triumphantly at this and lets out a hearty chuckle. "Not so sassy now are we?" she retorts, and sticks her tongue out at her. Elsa rolls her eyes at this.
"You are such a child. Hey, we're almost there." She looks around for any signs of space for her to place her car in. She bits her lip as she glances at the parking space which was packed with cars of all kind, people were gathering at the entrance, waiting for the guards to let them in and music was booming and the familiar voice rings inside Elsa's head.
"On second thought, maybe we should go back."
"Elsa no!"
"Anna yes."
Anna scowls at this and places her two hands on her sister's shoulders. "No! Elsa! Don't you dare go back on your word! You promised me!"
"Hey! Hands off! And I didn't promise you anything! We are going back and that's final!" Elsa insists as she starts to turn the car. She was going to go home whether Anna likes it or not. She was not going to tolerate the butterflies in her stomach or the pounding of her heart inside her chest. No, she was not going to tolerate this nonsense that she's feeling.
"Elsa you cheater! Don't do it! We already missed half the show because of you!" Anna says as she glances at her wrist clock. She was going to miss Kristoff's solo drum. Anna is fed up at Elsa's childish behaviors; she is willing to drag Elsa out of the car if she has to. Drastic times calls for drastic measures after all.
"Elsa, listen to me. I am not going to sit here and let you miss one of the, possibly, greatest nights of your life. I am not going to sit here and let you do whatever you want. This opportunity comes once in a blue moon Elsa. And if you're not going to grab it then I will."
With that said, Anna opens the handle and steps out of the car, taking a quick glance at Elsa and scurries off to the entrance. Elsa stares at Anna with a horrified look plastered on her face. She lets out a loud groan and steps out of the car, as well, placing the keys on her pockets and runs off to Anna, trying to catch up to her. "And where do you think you're going?" she says.
"I am going to meet the love of my life and see him blow the stadium. While you just stay in the car and wait till the concert is over. After all, that's what you do best, cower in fear while you're missing out on the greatest moments of your life."
Elsa stops at this. "That's not true."
"Then get out of your shell and enjoy the concert, dimwit!" Anna exclaims as she runs off.
Elsa doesn't cover her signs of annoyance towards her sister. Elsa is beyond annoyed, to be more precise. Not only was the butterflies in her stomach hadn't stopped fluttering, nor the pounding in her heart but the feeling of longing and wanting to see him had came back to her. It was sudden but it was there. She didn't know where all this came from but she only has one thing in mind. To see and meet Jack Frost.
And so, she jogs up to the entrance, following Anna closely behind and with her ticket in her pockets, she holds on to it tightly, scared that she might lose it if she lets go. She pushes through the crowd as she came face to face with one of the guards; she takes a glance inside, to see Anna squeezing through the crowd. She turns back to him and places her ticket on the counter.
"Elsa Arendelle, seat five row one."
The guard nods as he opens the entrance. Elsa slips in and scans through the crowd, hoping to find her sister. She halts as the familiar voice rings inside her head, he is singing. Jack Frost is singing throughout the crowd as she begins to feel nervous again. She is listening to him live! He is actually singing! Her breath caught in her throat as she stares with wide eyes at the man at the stage. Though, she couldn't clearly see him but she knows it is him.
"I can't believe this," she whispers to herself. "I can't believe this is real."
There he is, standing on the stage with a microphone on his hand while the other is occupied with a guitar he is playing. Elsa couldn't believe what she is seeing. She feels like all her dreams were real and not just an illusion. Jack Frost is real and he is singing his songs, along with his other band mates behind him.
"I'm swearing if I go there now, I could change your mind turn it all around."
He was singing. His song is reaching out to her. Elsa feels it but she doesn't utter a word despite of all the pushing around her.
"I'm still in love but all I heard was nothing."
She feels tears slowly building up on the corners of her eyes. She hastily wipes them away. Elsa lets out a shaky sigh as she continues to stare at the man. He was there. He was really there.
"I wanted words but all I heard was nothing."
She snaps her thoughts away. She needed to find Anna before she can process what was happening around her. Elsa continues to push through the crowd and into the front seats, where Anna was waiting for her. She's waving at Elsa with a big smile plastered on her face. Elsa let herself smile back at her sister.
"It took you long enough." Anna says.
Elsa punches her arm playfully. "Oh, shut up. You know how hard it is to find you?"
"Well here I am! And look at what you would've missed if you didn't go." Anna says as she gestured at the band. "You would've missed all this! And the backstage pass!"
Elsa chuckles at this and shakes her head. She glances at Jack who was singing his heart out at the crowd before him, including her. She was glad that she decided to ignore the protests inside her mind. She was glad that she went here and gets to see her idol.
She feels a nudge beside her as she turns to Anna. "What?"
"I swear, I can feel Kristoff staring at me."
"Anna, there are hundreds of girls here, how do you know he's staring at you?"
"I can feel it Elsa. I can feel it."
Elsa laughs at this. She turns to Jack, only to see him staring at her, at least that's what Elsa likes to think. Her heart starts to beat rapidly as she stares at him, keeping eye contact. Elsa wasn't sure if he was staring at her. She didn't want to feel like she's imagining things so she let herself smile at him and wave. Though there was a chance that she might get embarrassed of what she did, she didn't regret it one bit.
Jack Frost smiles back at her.
Her eyes widen at this and felt her heart being squeezed at the sight. She clutches her jacket tightly as she tries to process what happened. Did he just smile at her? Or was it just an illusion? Elsa wasn't sure but she is glad. She's glad that she gets to see him smile, even if it wasn't for her. She was glad.
"Oh my God! Jack Frost totally smiled at me!"
"No way! He was smiling at me!"
Elsa disregards the voices behind her. She was having the time of her life and she wasn't going to let them spoil it for her. All that matters was Jack smiled at her.
"If you ever come back."
They were on a line. She and Anna are waiting for the band to arrive and get their albums, posters, or shirts signed and Elsa is nervous. She was going to talk to him, hear his voice up close and it made her palms sweaty again. She inhales a breath and lets out a loud sigh as they wait.
A loud screeching is heard from behind her as she jumps in surprise. She cocks her head to one side to see Jack Frost along with his band mates smiling at them. Cameras flashed as they took a seat on their respective chairs. Anna was on a line where she could get Kristoff to sign her shirt. And she was on Jack's line.
The line moves and she is getting closer and closer to him. She hears the girl in front of her shriek as she saw her poster being signed by him. She swallows the lump in her throat as she takes a step towards him, an album in hand, and she was shaking slightly.
Jack smiles at her. "Hello, may I ask what your name is?"
"E-Elsa Arendelle."
"Pretty name, snowflake."
She hands him the album, as their fingers graze ever so slightly. Elsa feels tingly from the touch. She sees him the sign the album and hands it back to her with a grin on his face. "Thanks and have a nice day Elsa."
She nods as she grabs her album and steps out of the line, her heart hammering against her chest. She smiles at the thought of their fingers touching. She couldn't believe it.
Elsa mentally thanks Anna and decides to cook her, her favorite dish in appreciation.
