I'm back! Not that I left.
ANYWAYS! So, um I want to thank everyone for the favs, follows and reviews! I feel loved! :D I will try to post more often and Je Suis un Potterfan, you saying this is one the best frozen fics you read means A LOT. So thank you:) Without further a-due, I give you chapter three.
Elsa wiped down the counter. The cafe was almost empty with only three people sitting together at a table. It was a school day and Kristoff and Olaf had an hour to do homework before business started up again.
Sighing Elsa put the red rag in the sink and rested her elbows back on the now clean counter. She had cleaned just about everything and there wasn't much to do. She had survived and recovered from the morning and lunch people. Though some were just coming in. She ran a hand through her hair and stared at the window. From the inside the word Dulcet and it's catch phrase were backwards. On the outside however, you could read it clearly. The Dulcet written in huge fancy gold lettering and the D the way Disney did Ds, even though when Elsa was younger she could have sworn it was G.
Sighing, the blonde waited for people to walk in or out. At least some movement of some kind! Some sign of life other than the laughing table at the right end of the shop! She stared at the shining counter top. Well isn't this fun?
Elsa adjusted her suit. It was a fake suit, but it was necessary at the moment. The board had said that the Dulcet chain should try new things. Olaf had suggested themes each week. And their themes started today. First theme Olaf had said, was Butlering the Princesses.
She flattened out her vest and used her reflection in the counter top to look for any major flaws. Once satisfied, Elsa looked up at the clock. Olaf and Kristoff should be out of school, meaning their hour starts now. Elsa smiled to herself, finally! A little fun!
She waved as the people who were here left, the bell on the door ringing. Usually the cafe would be loud with laughter, joy, and the trio's crazy antics and performances; not allowing the bell's sweet jingle be heard.
Elsa played with her white gloves while resisting the urge to bring her braid over her shoulder and leave it at her back. She didn't know if it was on habit or because of having nothing better to do but she honestly didn't care. She just cared about figuring out how Olaf manged to get the entire board to support them so much on this. The board had agreed with Olaf to send them what ever they needed for each theme.
Jingle-ling da ling
Elsa lifted her head and saw chestnut hair enter the room followed by brunette. It was Rapunzel and her cousin? Anna? She still wasn't completely sure about the family ties.
Elsa smiled at them and waited for them to sit down before going over. She clipped her pen and flashed her oh so charming smile of hers. "What can I get two lovely ladies today?" She asked, almost cueing a sparkle to appear on her teeth.
Anna was awestruck by the blonde in front of her. Her suit looked so crisp and clean. It was the exact attire a regular butler would wear. A white long sleeve button up shirt, a black vest, black pants, and black shining shoes. The only color was the signature jade green on a sort of cloth around Elsa's neck. Anna blushed (Once she noticed she was staring) and played with the first thing she saw, the salt shaker.
Rapunzel giggled and smiled at Elsa, also impressed by the blonde's class. "I want the same as always." She said. They had been going to Dulcet for the past week, Elsa really didn't need to ask, she was just being nice or doing her job. "You Anna?" Rapunzel asked.
"W- what?" Anna jumped slightly. Dropping the salt shaker on the table, along with a billion specks of salt. She blushed madly as Rapunzel giggled. Elsa smiled slightly at the younger girl's clumsiness. "I- uh. I-" Anna scrambled to clean up the mess she made, somehow resulting in making it worse. Rapunzel was trying her hardest to contain her laughter.
Elsa placed her hand over Anna's wrist, getting the freckled girl to freeze completely. She gently grabbed Anna's wrist and lifted the girl's hand. Then Elsa wiped the salt off it and did the same to the other hand. All while Anna was getting hotter and hotter by the second. She placed both of Anna's hands away from the salt and scooped it all into her own hand. She smiled and went to throw it away.
Anna groaned and smacked her forehead on the table and left it there when Elsa walked away. Rapunzel removed her hand from her mouth and released loud laughter. Her face fell on to the table and stayed there as well. One arm on her forehead and the other holding her stomach. She just couldn't believe it! How can Anna Arendelle, the ruler of the high school, be so awkward over one person?
Anna lifted her head and kicked her cousin. "Just shut up!" She said. Rapunzel only replied with more laughter. Ignoring the the jingle of the door's bell.
"ELSA!" three voices yelled in unison as they entered the cafe. Elsa slapped her hands in upward and downward motions to get rid of the remaining salt on her gloves. Not at all surprised by the guests's sudden out burst.
"Kristoff! Olaf! Get to work!" She hollered. The two boys nodded and went to the back room to change, knowing their suits awaited them as well. Dartin smiled as his sister trailed behind him.
"Why are you dressed as a butler and not a maid?" Sonya said taking a stool and leaning over to rest her arms on the counter.
Elsa rolled her eyes at the dark haired brunette. "Oh Hi Sonya! My day? Great thanks. Yours?" Sonya rolled her eyes and waved while mouthing 'hi'. Elsa laughed. "Olaf told them something about me being charming as a prince so I got a guy's suit." She explained.
"I want to be butler." The other tan sibling said, some how making his brown hair look more spiked than it already was.
Elsa nodded and sighed. "With you in a butler suit, girls would come here from miles away." She said. Dartin smiled and stuck out his chest a bit more. Having pride in the compliment he received. The girls laughed. "Hey I got to finish an order. Um, Dartin could you go out and tell my brother I need another jar for tips, Kristoff broke the other." Dartin got off his stool and nodded before heading out.
Elsa walked back to Anna's table. "So chocolate for my lady correct?" Elsa asked. Anna held her hands tightly in her lap while staring at the table but still nodded. Elsa smiled at the girl and went to do the order.
Anna took a deep breath; trying her best to keep her heart rate down.
"Anna!" Kristoff said walking over to their table, now fully dressed in the same suit Elsa wore. It looks better on her though...
Anna turned her head and then shook it. "What is it Kristoff?" She snapped.
The blonde boy raised his hands in defense. "Hey relax tiger, just asking how you were doing." Why doesn't he have gloves like hers?
"Terrible." Anna answered the same exact time Rapunzel had said. "MARVELOUS!"
Kristoff cocked his head to one side. "Why?" He asked.
Don't you dare say it! Rapunzel smirked. "The 'Princess' has finally met a knight in shining armor that she wishes to marry!" She sang, mocking the the word princess because of Elsa's use of it.
Anna blushed madly. "I never said I wanted to marry her!" Anna countered.
"But you do anyways."
"Shut up."
"I didn't hear a no."
"URGH!"
"Nope, still not a no."
Kristoff laughed at the two. Anna had it BAD. Really bad. Usually Anna would have this type of confidence just, radiating off of her. But now, the slightest mention of a certain blonde sent her over the edge. Kristoff went back to work before Elsa caught him.
But Elsa had already been watching the entire scene; though she she didn't know what it was about. The most she heard was when Anna released a frustrated sigh. The sight was some what pleasing. How Anna would throw her hands in the air that is.
Once Kristoff had left Rapunzel said something that made the redhead laugh.
Elsa could watch the girl laugh all day. The freckles that dusted her face seemed to dance, like Anna's laughter was their music. In a way, Elsa did consider the girl's laughter 'music to her ears'.
She rolled her eyes at herself and put the drinks on a tray since she was delivering the entire order now instead of two trips. She had amazing balance, everyone knew that. So with ease , she walked over, slightly lowered the huge black tray and placed the drinks on the table.
"Sweet tea and a muffin for Punzie." Elsa said in a firm tone while placing the said items in front of the girl. Rapunzel smiled at the nick name and gave Anna a look that just teased: I got called Punzie.
Anna huffed and bit her lip. That didn't mean anything! Elsa had called her lots of other things! Like Sundrop, Princess, and little red! Rapunzel just got Punzie! She could not get jealous over something so new and small!
Elsa smiled at a pouting Anna. "And a Sweet Double Chocolate for my Princess"
Anna stopped her pouting. Her eyes widened. There was something different about the way Elsa had said it this time. Something there that wasn't there before. Maybe it was the tone Elsa used. Or the fact that she was making her feel like an actual Princess.
"I like that..." She whispered smiling at Rapunzel. Rapunzel's eyes widened upon realizing what her friend was talking about. She shook her head slightly. She made her eyes dart between Anna and Elsa. HOPING her friend would get the hint. But it was too late.
"You like what Princess? The chocolate?" Elsa asked.
Anna snapped back to reality. Letting the nickname linger in her head. "I-I liked it w-w-when you called me Princess..." Anna tried not to whisper but it still came out very quiet.
Elsa blinked. What? She always used that name. Elsa smiled down at the blushing girl. "Well, just say so my Princess and it shall be done." Elsa paused. She placed the tray on the ground and got down on one knee. She took one of Anna's hands gently and looked up at the red head. "After all, your wish is my command." She finished by pressing her lips to the warm back of Anna's hand.
Rapunzel could almost SEE the redness rapidly creep up Anna's neck and to her face.
It was a quick kiss sure. Brief and short but there.
Elsa got up and smiled her sparkling white smile again before walking away. Anna could have fainted in her seat right then and there but thought better of it.
"I will never wash this hand again..." She whispered. Rapunzel staring at her like she was insane.
"That's a bit much is it not?" Sonya asked, leaning against the booth like last time she suddenly popped up. Rapunzel jumped in her seat, AGAIN not noticing when the brunette got to where she was. Anna blushed. Sonya's eyes narrowed, her sly cat-like grin appearing. She was still deciding on whether or not to play her little game again. "Well who'd have thought?" She said, trying out her game just to see the results.
But before Sonya could get Anna's response, Olaf heard that one line and changed Sonya's plans completely. Not being able to help himself, he slid up next to Sonya. "Well, bless my soul."
Sonya had to think a moment before realizing what he was doing and replying quickly. "Well, who'd have known?"
"Well, who indeed?"
"And who'd have guessed they'd come together on their own?" Sonya said nudging Rapunzel with her elbow. This wasn't what she wanted, but since the girls were rather confused it would do for now.
"It's so peculiar. Wait and see."
"We'll wait and see."
"A few days more. There may be something there that wasn't there before." And with that, Olaf went to greet people who had just come in while Sonya slipped away and appeared back on her stool next to the counter.
Anna and Rapunzel stared at each other for a while before laughing, realizing they had just been performed to.
This cafe was special.
Anyone could tell.
And it was all because of the employees.
The sky got darker and not many more people came in nor did the cousins leave. Kristoff had watched the two the entire day. Trying to figure out ways to get Rapunzel away from Anna and Anna closer to Elsa.
"You guys still haven't closed? Come on Elsa, no one is going to come in any time soon." A male voice said upon entering.
Elsa lifted her head to see her twin brother smirking at her. They weren't REALLY twins but it was verry close. "You just did didn't you?" She said crossing her arms.
Jack huffed and lifted up an empty jar he had. "I came because Dartin brought me here." He replied.
Dartin, Sonya and Kristoff sat on stools watching the siblings "greet" each other.
Sonya knew about Anna's little crush, she didn't need any one to tell her things that were so painfully clear. Sonya looked Elsa up and down, the suit making her think of royal dancing and such. Suddenly an idea popped into her head. She looked around the Cafe, enough people were here for what she had in mind. Besides, the Cafe had a nice dance floor, why, it had a PERFECT dance floor! Sonya got off the stool and whispered in Kristoff's ear. He nodded and went to the back room while Sonya whispered something else to her brother. Once done, she went to look for Olaf.
A few minutes passed before a soft little sound rang through the cafe. The music from the speakers had suddenly stopped, why was there music? Elsa placed the jar on the counter and looked around. She saw Olaf sitting at a piano. Kristoff hitting something making the little ding sounds and Sonya standing in front of the mic. Dartin held a violin.
"Hello. Today, I would like to invite the Princess's to their first ball dance. Please, choose a partner." Elsa and Jack looked at each other.
"What's happening?" He asked.
Elsa shrugged. "I have no idea."
Jack looked around and saw a brunette sitting in a booth. Eugene's girl right? He wouldn't mind, he wouldn't even find out. Jack elbowed his sister lightly and beckoned to the two girls with his head. Elsa shrugged and nodded before walking over with him.
"Do what I do." She whispered. He nodded. Elsa and Jack bowed in unison in front of the girls and then smiled charmingly at them. Elsa extended her hand first. "If I may be so daring as to ask my Lady to this dance." Elsa said. Anna was blushing madly again. Either way, she extended her hand slowly and excepted the gloved hand, holding on gently. Just when Anna thought Elsa couldn't look more like a prince. Elsa grinned at the girl with shinning eyes, letting Anna hold on to her arm.
They stopped in the middle of the open floor. A few people were on the floor as well. Anna worried she might bump into some one or something. Elsa took Anna's hand and place one of her own of the younger girl's hip. Anna placed her free hand on Elsa's arm.
"Follow my led." Elsa whispered, noticing the girl's worry. Anna nodded silently.
Sweet music and lyrics filled the room as Elsa and Anna moved gracefully across the floor.
"Dancing Bears, Painted wings, things I almost remember. And a song, someone sings, Once Upon a December."
They started out slowly with Sonya's voice.
"Someone holds me safe and warm, horses prance through a sliver storm, figures dancing gracefully, long my memories."
They picked up pace slightly. Anna let Elsa guide her in the swift movements; now and then Elsa would extend her arm and Anna would twirl on her own. Anna knew they most likely looked beautiful with Elsa's moves. Anna only wished she had worn a dress instead of a Hollister shirt and blue jeans.
During the instrumental break. They twirled around the floor together. Anna noticed Rapunzel and Jack dancing the same way they were. Was Rapunzel blushing?
"Someone holds me safe and warm, horses prance through a sliver storm, figures dancing gracefully, long my memories."
Elsa brought Anna closer to her, wrapping some of her arm around Anna's figure. And Anna let her. Correction, she gladly let her.
"Far away, long ago, glowing dim as an ember, things my heart used to know, things it yearns to remember."
They stared into each other's eyes. Anna forgetting where she was and what she was wearing. To her, Elsa was dressed as a handsome prince, while Anna was the dazzling princess. And they were dancing in her castle, the prince trying her best to win her heart and her father's trust in marriage.
Elsa slowed them down.
"And a song, someone sings, Once Upon A December~"
They went to a slow stop. Not letting go, still in the moment of royalty and fantasy. Elsa took steps back, still holding on to one of Anna's hands. She bowed and kissed the back of the hand again. "It's been a pleasure Princess Anna." She said. Anna fought a shiver and smiled back. Not knowing any fancy words to say.
Anna would have stayed like that. But after Elsa stood upright again, their hands went to their owner's sides. Anna watched Jack and Rapunzel walk up to them. Rapunzel linked on to Jack's arm, staring dreamily at him. Anna looked at Elsa through the corner of her eye. She was standing there. Like the royal she most likely was. Her hands at her side. Why couldn't they have linked arms like that? Wait...They could. After all, wasn't her wish Elsa's command?
Straightening herself, Anna cleared her throat. "Elsa." She said.
Elsa turned her head to the girl. "Yes my Lady?"
Anna tried to keep her blush at a minimum, she didn't want to come off badly though either. "Never mind." She sighed. She didn't have enough courage for that at the moment.
"Are you feeling ill Princess?" She asked concerned.
Anna's eyes widened and she shook her head furiously. "No!Nonono! I'm fine!" She exclaimed. She could hear Rapunzel giggling at her.
Elsa smiled at her and nodded. "If you insist." She told the girl.
Anna let out a breath of relief. Was this butler thing really going to go on for the rest of the week? Anna hoped so. She'd even miss cheer practice for this. She could bring the squad her instead of practice! That's exactly what she'd do! Some day at least. When she starts to act normally around Elsa. Maybe her friends would help her confidence show. But she wouldn't know until Wednesday, when she'd bring the squad to Dulcet.
