Hey everyone! We're back!
Yup we are! Sorry that we kind of left you with a cliffhanger back there! NOT! MWAHAHA! I mean every good story has to have a cliffhanger right?
Thanks to everyone who reviewed! Hopefully this chapter lives up to the last one! Also, if you were a guest and you reviewed with a story, but didn't leave a character to be portrayed as, leave it in your review for this chapter with a summary of your story from last chapter.
And if you wanted to know, this chapter was written by DesertSnowQueen and edited by me, CupcakeMonkey567.
"Wait, what?" Elsa all but shrieked, not believing what her parents said—not wanting to believe. It was her senior year, and she was supposed to finish the year at Northside High, in the home on Crocus Lane she grew up in, and she was supposed to graduate with Hiccup and Merida and go off to college in the fall. She wasn't supposed to move!
"Elsa, calm down. We're just moving to Snowflake Street. You and Anna will be attending Fidem Academy," Agdar said, attempting to soothe his daughter, but only made her stress worse.
"I can't switch schools! Why can't I stay at Northside for the year? I'll drive myself!" Elsa practically begged, and her mother sighed.
"Elsa, we know it's a sudden change, and we know it's your senior year, but this is for the best, I promise. You'll make friends, and you can still date Hiccup and hang out with Merida. You'll just be at a different school," Idun said soothingly, resting her hand on Elsa's shoulder, but her daughter threw off her hand.
"Just at a different school? Mom, I have friends at Northside that have known me forever! I can't just build those bonds in a year! Friendship like that takes time, and everyone at Fidem will already have their circle of friends and I can't move!" Elsa exclaimed, looking to her sister for help. Anna, however, was excited for the change, and wasn't listening to the argument.
"Elsa, it's not up for discussion. We already bought the house and you're already enrolled in Fidem. Now start packing your things. We're moving at the end of the week," Agdar ordered, and Elsa stormed off to her bedroom.
The living room felt colder in her absence, and Idun and Agdar glanced at each other, silently asking if they really made the right decision. They never had a choice, though. They had to move to keep their girls safe.
Elsa sat on her bed, crying silently as she texted her friends.
Hiccup: So you're really switching?
Elsa: Yeah. I don't have a choice.
Merida: Ay, lassie. It's our senior year! You and Hiccup were lined up for valedictorian!
Elsa sighed at the message from her feisty, ginger best friend and wiped the tears from her eyes.
Elsa: Tell my dad that. He already enrolled Anna and I in Fidem and we start next week. It's too late…
Merida: I can't believe you're flitting!
Hiccup: Um, translation?
Merida: Moving.
Hiccup: Oh.
Merida: Yeah.
Elsa: Trust me, if I could stop it I would.
Merida: Well you can still come to the dances and stuff.
Hiccup: Yeah! I'll invite you to all the dances!
Elsa: Well you'd better not invite anyone else. Same school or not, I'm still your girlfriend.
Hiccup: I know that! I was just making a point…
Merida: Careful, Dragon Boy. She may very well go to this fancy new academy and find a guy who doesn't always say stupid stuff.
Elsa smiled, knowing their Scottish friend was just teasing him, and decided to join in.
Elsa: Oh yeah. I'm sure I'll find someone there. Maybe he'll actually be good at sports. ;-)
Hiccup: Haha, very funny. Not.
Elsa: You know I'm kidding.
Hiccup: Yeah, yeah. I know.
Merida: Ugh, my wee nyaff little brothers are making a mess. I have to go. Later.
Elsa: Bye Mer!
Hiccup: Bye Princess.
Elsa put her phone down and decided to work on her Calculus homework. Mrs. Maleficent assigned a ridiculous amount of problems for solving limits, all due in the class the next day. Everyone was struggling with the topic, and while Elsa was beginning to understand it, it still gave her headaches when she spent too much time thinking about the problem.
After an hour of unsuccessfully attempting to finish her math homework, a dragon's roar echoed through the room, startling her and making her drop her pencil. It was Hiccup's ringtone, and she paused for a moment to let her heart rate slow before answering.
"You know, after years of us being friends and dating, you'd think I would be used to hearing your ringtone. But every time you call me and the volume is up too loud, I get scared," she huffed into the phone, then smiled when she heard her boyfriend laugh from the other end.
"But you still haven't changed it," Hiccup pointed out, and Elsa sighed.
"No, because you chose it, so it's special," she said with a smile.
"True. So anyway, I figured you might want a break from Calculus," her boyfriend stated, and Elsa laughed behind her hand.
"How do you know me so well?" she asked him.
"We've been dating since we were freshmen, and friends for years. If I didn't know how much calculus frustrated you, I would be a failure as a friend, not to mention a boyfriend," he told her.
"Good point. So, did you have something in mind?" she asked, knowing he did.
"Of course. Why don't we go down to the ice rink and cool off?" he suggested, and Elsa giggled quietly at his probably unintentional pun.
"Alright. I'll be there in ten minutes," she said, and after a quick goodbye, they hung up to get ready.
Elsa went to her closet and pulled out a long-sleeved, white top, her dark-washed jeans, and black boots, then let her hair out of the tight, braided bun she wore it in to school that day. Once she was changed, she arranged the braid to fall across her left shoulder, grabbed her warm, blue jacket, and her snow-white purse. She left a note on the kitchen counter saying where she was going and that she would be home soon, then picked up her pure white figure skates with icy blue, rhinestone snowflake patterns and walked down to Frozen Avenue, a few blocks away from Snowflake Street, her future home.
When she got there, she saw Hiccup waiting near his black Mercedes convertible for her. He was wearing a long-sleeved green shirt, a dark brown coat, dark jeans, and dark brown boots. She walked over to him with a smile and he immediately pulled her into a hug. She hugged him back and nestled her head against his thin shoulder, then felt him press a kiss in her hair.
"Come on, Snowdrop. Let's go blow off some steam," he told her before dragging her inside the Ice Palace, her family's ice rink and the center of her childhood.
As the couple laced up their skates and prepped to get on the ice, sharing a few quick kisses every so often, Elsa thought about the origins of the Ice Palace.
When she was five years old, her family was out walking in a large park on Frozen Avenue called the Valley of the Living Rock during the winter. The ground was covered in snow, the ponds were frozen over, and the leaves had fallen off the trees, but Elsa loved it. Her family played there the entire day, until her mother decided Anna was too little to play in the cold any longer. As they were walking home, they passed a large, empty lot on Frozen Avenue, not far from the park, and Elsa ran into it. She spun in a circle with her arms extended next to her before turning to face her parents.
"Mama, Papa! When I'm queen, this is where my ice palace will be, and people will call me the Snow Queen because of my ability to control ice and snow!" she had told them animatedly. A year later, her parents bought the lot, and build an ice rink on it. It was structured like a palace, and painted an icy blue. The outermost layer was a clear, icy blue plastic with lights inside it, and the walls and floors were decorated with a snowflake Elsa drew when she was young. They called it the Ice Palace, and Elsa spent her childhood there, practicing and improving her figure skating. There were even some days where her sister accused her of isolating herself, but they got over that once Elsa showed her what she had been doing.
Hiccup took her hand once their skates were laced up, shaking her from her thoughts, and pulled her towards the ice. Elsa's favorite skating playlist was echoing throughout the large room, and she practically ran onto the ice. Soon she was gliding gracefully, and all her problems seemed to melt away. It didn't matter that she was moving schools when she was skating. All that mattered was her, Hiccup, and the slippery ice she grew up on.
Several songs and intricate tricks (from Elsa, obviously) later, Hiccup brought her a bottle of water. She thanked him as she took a sip, and he nodded once in thought before speaking.
"So, do you know anyone at Fidem?" he asked her, and she was about to say no when she remembered one person from her childhood.
"I actually do. There's one guy I know. His name is Pitch Black. He used to live down the street from me, before I met you. We would always hang out, but then his parents died in a plane crash and he moved to live with his uncle on Elm Street. I haven't heard from him since, but I know he goes to Fidem because I've seen him wearing a Fidem hoodie," Elsa explained, and Hiccup nodded.
"Well, you won't be completely alone, so that's good," he said, trying to cheer her up, and Elsa sighed.
"Yeah, I guess. He's not you and Mer though," she told him sadly, and he pulled her in for a hug.
"Let's not worry about that right now. Just skate and enjoy yourself, and we can worry about that later," he told her, and they did just that. For the next few hours, they skated together and laughed, enjoying their date and not thinking about Elsa's move, and when it finally got dark, he drove her home.
Did anyone catch the hidden movie reference? And FYI, it has nothing to do with Frozen, before ya'll get excited.
Woah even I didn't find the reference. And can you explain this chapter to me? Because there's one thing that I'm curious about...
P.S., if you have any stories about having a hard life (such as problems with a boyfriend or girlfriend, or moving schools like Elsa did) or even any funny stories between you and your best friends and you would like to share so that other people can read them and you can watch your favorite character go through the same thing, leave it in your review with the character you would like to be represented as!
For example, if you have a story about a crush from when you were little, and you want it done from Tooth's perspective:
-Tooth: (insert story here)
So please leave a review or PM us if you have a story! Thanks for reading!
