Chapter 2

Rapunzel and Elsa had returned from the shops, literally with a million bags strapped onto each of their arms.
Anna opened the front door and laughed when they began struggling to get through the entrance.
"How much did you spend on this altogether?" Anna asked curiously, helping them with some of the bags.
Elsa and Rapunzel shot each other a guilty smile, they both bursted into giggles, "like, 1000 bucks..."
Anna gasped, "Mum is so going to kill you!" She cried the started jumping around in glee, and then blew a raspberry at her sister.
"Keep quiet and I'll give you some of my stuff." Elsa raised a brow.
Hmph.
"Fine. But it better be good stuff." Anna frowned, pointing a finger at the two. Elsa rolled her eyes and nodded. She set their bags down and satisfied with her sister's answer, Anna left for the stew that was still sitting on the stove.
"I'll give it to you later, we gave to get ready. Come on." Elsa grabbed her bags off the ground and hauled herself up the flight of stairs.
Elsa closed the door behind her and began emptying her purchases onto the bed.
"I can't believe you bought me 3 dresses..." She mumbled in disbelief as she started to sort everything into neat piles.
Rapunzel cleared a spot for her on the bed and sat down, "Yeah, and they were like a hundred dollars altogether so you at least have to wear one TONIGHT."
"Tonight? All these dresses expose my skin...and this drunk kid might go spazzo on me." Elsa refused, tucking her dresses away in her closet. Rapunzel took them back out and threw them back onto the bed.
"I will literally rip up all your clothes except these dresses and I'll feed your clothes to Olaf or I can make your mum make stew out of it and force you to eat it so you feel guilty as hell-."
"NO."
Silence.
"I'll give you all the chocolate you want, for a week..."
Elsa groaned loudly, "Ugh, for the love of chocolate...FINE! Darn you, weaknesses." She groaned and scolded herself and grabbed one of the dresses from Rapunzel, who was smiling with pride, and headed into her bathroom for a shower.

"Oh gosh, Elsa! I really can't believe you wore it! You look absolutely beautiful!" Rapunzel gushed stepping back to admire Elsa's outfit, after applying eyeliner on her.
Elsa had chosen to wear her black and white, bow backless dress with her hair in her usual French braid.
She reached up to rub her arm, "I still feel really exposed..."
Rapunzel scoffed, "Meh, you'll be fine...You might even attract a few guys." She smiled deviously, winking.
Elsa flicked her forehead playfully, "Come on, the party starts soon."
4:45
It was already dark by the time Rapunzel pulled up to Aster's house. It was a huge 2-story house, which was piled with people in the garden and balconies and only the sound of voices and music filled the warm air.
Elsa and Rapunzel linked arms and made their way across the yard. Inside, it was cramped but they were still able to move past the sweaty bodies. They were immediately greeted by Aster who was dancing with two other girls. He stopped and came over as soon as he spotted them.
"HEY GIRLS! THANKS FOR COMING." He practically yelled, raising the cup in his hand and nodding. Some of the liquid sloshed out and dripped onto the floor. Maybe Aster was a bit drunk.
"THANKS FOR INVITING US." Rapunzel shouted back. Aster leaned forward and cupped his ear with his hand. "WHAT?"
"THANKS FOR INVITING US, ASTER...CONGRATS ON WINNING YOUR GAME." Elsa leaned forward to him and yelled through his cupped hand. Aster smiled and nodded, "AW THANKS ELSA...BY THE WAY, YOU LOOK GREAT."
Rapunzel immediately elbowed Elsa, unfortunately, very hard. Elsa smiled, although her ribcage was aching.
"THANKS! DO YOU KNOW WHERE JACK IS!?"
"HE'S OUTSIDE ON THE POOL LAWN, HE'S ACTUALLY BEEN WAITING FOR YOU."
While they made their way to whichever direction seemed to lead to the pool, Rapunzel was as cheery as ever.
"Aster called you pretty and your boyfriend has been waiting for you...I told you a dress would be a good idea!" Rapunzel's voice was filled with happiness and pride. Elsa sighed, "He's not my boyfriend, Punzie."
Finally, they reached outside. The air was much colder and clear than inside where it was musky and thick. Elsa could see Jack standing by a food table, with a drink in his hand.
"Hey, Punzie!" A voice called, it was Flynn.
"See ya soon, don't forget to kiss Jack." Rapunzel joked, causing Elsa to roll her eyes, as she started to make her way over to a huddle of boys.

"JACK!"
Jack turned around to see Elsa, but not quite Elsa. She gave him a huge hug, which he returned. She looked different; for starters, she was wearing a dress.
Jack had realized he hadn't answered and had been staring at her like a goldfish.
"Hey, Elsa." He replied, examining her from head to toe. Elsa seemed to follow his gaze, and her eyes dropped.
"I look terrible in a dress don't I?" Elsa mumbled, her eyes darting all over the place, but not at him.
"No, no, no! You just look different! It's a good different! Totally not in a bad way! A very, very good different..." Jack suddenly blurted out, after realizing how stupid he sounded; his face turned a bright red. Elsa giggled, "I meant that you look really pretty..."Jack finished.
"Congratulations on your game, by the way."
Before Jack could thank her, Flynn called them over.
"Sup, Jack and stunning as always, Elsa." Flynn greeted. Elsa laughed and battered her eyelashes, jokingly. Flynn was always such a flirt, but everyone knew he was never serious about anything that he said.
"We're going to hit the dance floor, do want to join us?" Rapunzel asked, shoving Flynn lightly to the side as he tugged on her blonde locks. Elsa totally shipped the two despite Rapunzel always denying any feelings towards Flynn. Of course, she was the first person he told about his real name, Eugene.
"Nah, its alright, we'll join you later though." Jack answered almost straight away. Being one of Elsa's best friends meant that he knew a lot of things that Elsa disliked. And one of them was dancing.
After Flynn and the others had left, Jack suggested that they go inside and upstairs so that they could catch up.
Jack had been in New York competing in an ice hockey game, which they won, hence the party.
On the way up the stairs, a girl by the name of Tooth swung her hand around Jack's neck and kissed him deeply. Tooth was Queen Bee at school, she was actually quite nice and cheerful but her friends were a pretty bad influence on her, so half the time she was usually nasty.
"Hey, Jack." Tooth smiled, snaking an arm around Jack's waist. Jack seemed to be tense as Elsa was standing there.
"Oh um, I'll wait upstairs." Elsa quickly said, climbing up the stairs as fast but as normal as she could. Jack tried to reach out for her but Tooth pecked him in the cheek and locked her hand into his.
"Come on, I need to borrow you for a minute."
Before Jack could argue, Tooth waltzed him back down the stairs and into the kitchen.
Elsa sat herself down on the bed of an empty room, confused. If Jack was in New York, how did he possibly start going out with Tooth?
'Well they're both alphas...and it probably started before the holidays' Elsa thought to herself.
About 20 minutes passed, and there was still no sign of Jack. Elsa was more tired of waiting than annoyed. As Elsa made up her mind to leave and find Rapunzel...
The door was pushed open.
