A/N: I'm sorry, evil or not, Elle is just too damn cute. I'm sure this won't be the last Elle fic I write.
1. Swimming
The first time Claire learned that Elle had never been swimming, she laughed. When the girl merely stared at her, face serious and kind of sad, Claire realized that it wasn't a joke. Then she grabbed Elle's hand and took her to the mall. She had to admit that watching the girl try on bathing suits was more for her pleasure than anything. Still, the look of pure fear on the blonde's face as she stared down into the clear water of the pool made Claire's heart melt. The jolt she got when Elle got scared sent a current through the water made her hair stand on end. They didn't go swimming again after that.
2. Rollercoaster
The ride was fast, bumpy, gut wrenching, stomach curdling. Elle wasn't aware that your innards could feel like they were a thousand feet above you and still be in your body. When the car finally lurched to a stop and Claire looked over to see how she was doing, she raised an eyebrow.
"You look a little green."
As the splash of vomit landed on her shoes, Claire realized that the tallest and fastest rollercoaster in the park probably wasn't the best start to Elle's amusement park career.
3. Date
The restaurant was crowded and noisy. The food was overpriced. The waiter was rude. The cook didn't speak English. The menus were in French. The steak was raw.
The first date sucked.
But it was a date. And even though swimming was disastrous, the rollercoaster was sickening, and the date was less than romantic, Claire had cared enough to make sure that she'd gotten to do all of these things before she died. And at the end of the night, Claire got so much more than a goodnight kiss.
