The roar of Elsa's 1971 Mustang drown out Elsa's worries, the car had been a gift from her uncle on her sixteenth birthday. She loved the car almost as much as she loved her sister. She looked over at Anna who also seemed to be deep in thought, "I wonder if she's worrying about Hans and his football friends?" Elsa sighed, "I'll have a talk with Mulan to see if she'd be willing to convince Hans to leave Anna alone. She probably won't but its worth a try."
"Um, Elsa? We're here..."
"Oh sorry, just lost in my thoughts."
Elsa looked up at the large almost mansion like house, it belonged to their Uncle Clarence and cousin Rapunzel. Uncle Clarence had given her the car, paid for the house that she and Anna lived in, and was legally their guardian.
Just Elsa heard a door slam and a strange girl run down the steps and into the car.
"Punzie!" Anna yelled, "What. Did. You. Do!?"
The girls previously knee length blonde hair had been replaced with choppy light brown hair that didn't even reach her shoulders. The brunette shrugged as she hugged Anna.
"It was getting to long to take care of" she replied, "besides I've always wanted brown hair."
Anna just stared, mouth wide with disbelief and whispered, "I...just can't…believe you cut it."
Elsa put the car into drive and thought about her own long whitish blonde hair. "Maybe I should trim mine up a bit too? It's nearly as long a Rapunzel's was." She started to drive off when Anna suddenly said.
"Uh, Punzie? Where are your shoes? And your socks for that matter?"
"Oh, I wasn't planning on wearing any." She replied as she looked down at her phone checking for any texts from Eugene. Eugene had spent most of the summer in the neighboring city of Corona, working on a special "project". She hated that he didn't trust he enough to admit that he was spending the whole summer stealing from as many people and houses as he could.
Rapunzel sighed, well at least Aladdin kept him safe. Aladdin was Eugene's best friend and partners in crime. She thought they made a pretty cute team, a completely dishonest and immoral team, but still a cute team. She'd known Aladdin almost as long as Eugene; she'd been introduced by one of Elsa's friends Jasmine.
They'd had all been hanging out at Kristoff's house, the guy's, including Anna, were all playing video games while the girls gossiped all about their crushes or boyfriends. A knock at the door had interrupted the conversation causing Jasmine to squeal, "He's here!"
"Who"? They'd replied.
"Aladdin, sillies!" Jasmine had giggled.
"Aladdin?!" Eugene had asked, rushing to the door, beating Jasmine. He through open the door only to be met with a fist to his stomach.
"Oof! What's the big idea man?" Eugene said gasping for breath.
"That's for stealing my Rolex!" Aladdin quipped back.
Eugene slowly got to his feet, "We even now?"
"Yep! We good, now where is my beautiful…ah!" Aladdin replied as he rushed over to greet Jasmine.
Rapunzel grinned as she remembered that night, "They certainly Hit it off after not seeing each other for years." Her grin faded as she began to recall the circumstances that Eugene had left her for the summer. "Best if I just forget it." She decided.
Her thoughts were abruptly broken with the sound of Elsa honking the horn impatiently. Finally the door of Kristoff's home flew open as he ran as fast as he could to the car, narrowly missing tripping on the curb.
"Hey guy! Sorry I'm a little late." Kristoff said sheepishly as he crawled over Anna into the back seat with Rapunzel.
"Its ok, its just great to see you!" an excited Anna exclaimed.
"Its great to see you to Anna! And you Elsa, and you…Rapunzel!? Who are you and what have you done to my Rapunzel!" said Kristoff pretending to be frightened by the strange brunette sitting next to him.
"Ha ha, very funny Kristoff. I just got a hair cut that's all." She replied shrugging.
"No, I think you cut maybe a bit more than a hair, Rapunzel" the red headed boy chuckled. He flipped out his phone and took a picture of Rapunzel's new hair.
"Kristoff! Delete that right now! Its ugly!" cried a very annoyed Rapunzel. Reaching for his phone which was just out of reach. "Delete it! Delete it!"
"Nope!" a triumphant Kristoff said. "I'm keeping this forever and ever." Smugly looking away as he pretending that he'd just won a boxing match.
"You're such a jerk, Kristoff!" the brunette squealed. "Fine then, keep it see if I care!" She said folding her arms and pushing out her lower lip into a pouting position.
Anna smiled, it so nice to see Kristoff again. Especially after he'd had to spend the whole summer at his step dads ranch. Kristoff was great with animal, especially horse's and reindeer, he was passionate about reindeer. For one reason or another he had a bit of an obsession with them. Anna's grin grew even bigger as se recalled how he dressed his dog, Sven, as a reindeer every Halloween and Christmas. The poor thing never had any idea what it had done to deserve such a punishment, but it would just go with it.
The rest of the ride to school was spent catching up, swapping summer time stories, and discussing what lockers and classes they hoped to get this year. Elsa pulled the car into the large Arendelle High School parking lot and quickly found a place to park. The parking lot was already beginning of fill up with all sorts of students. As she expected a fight had already broken out between to boys in the far left corner of the parking lot, pretty close to where Anna, Rapunzel, and Kristoff were walking.
Anna notice the two boys, one she knew for sure what Hercules, or as everyone called him "Jerkukes". The other seemed to be new to school which would meant Hercules had tried to frighten the stranger into giving him whatever was in his wallet. The stranger obviously wasn't planning on losing any money the first day and was doing a pretty decent job of beating the crap out of Hercules. "I wouldn't want to cross that guy." She thought.
"Hey, Kristoff I have something for you" she called her best friend back to her, "Here, this is a welcome home gift" she said nervously handing him a small box that contained the expensive watch. Kristoff opened the box and his eyes grew wide
"Anna! I…I don't know what to say! Its…" Kristoff was staring dumbfounded at the shiny silver watch.
"Do you like it," Anna asked nervously looked up at the larger boy with her big blue eyes.
"Like it?! I love it!?" he said before grabbing the slim ginger's waist and swinging her in the air. Anna squealed.
"I'm so glad you like it." She said breathless, "Come on we better get inside before the bell rings." And with that she and Kristoff ran off into the crow of students making their way into the large building.
Elsa smiled to herself, it was so nice to see how much Anna and Kristoff got along. She shyly looked around for her own friends, but was unable to see anything except the sea of moving bodies pushing her to the doors of her school.
She sighed, "And so begins another year at Arendelle High".
