A/N: And they finally meet.


Now Playing: The Turtles / So Happy Together


The shuffling of her feet and the music blaring from her earphones were the only things Anna was focused on while she jogged and motivated herself to keep going. She had wanted to go faster, but the redhead ate leftover pancakes from last night before heading out. Anna realized that this had been a bad idea since she was almost convinced that the contents of her stomach were about to rise up to her chest in an attempt to exit grotesquely from her mouth.

Damn you and your pancakes, Kristoff.

But she kept persevering; she wanted to finish another lap around the park before stopping. Worn out running shoes padded steadily onto the pavement as she felt brittle dried leaves crunch under them. The back of her shirt was already drenched in sweat and her face was flushed. Strands of bangs matted together on her forehead, beads of perspiration gluing them in place.

Come on, one more lap and it's going to be two miles. Let's go, Fjellheim!


Elsa, I'm sorry that this is so last minute…but Dr. W wanted to move the meeting at 11:30 instead of 2:30. I tried calling your phone but u weren't picking up. Please reply when u get this message. Hope to see u soon. - Vanellope V.S.

Her eyes had already started to sting from re-reading the text message for the fifth time. She already replied to Vanellope and confirmed her attendance, insisting that she would come on time, but she kept going over the message as if waiting for the secretary to text her back to change the time again. Vanellope assured Elsa that she did not have to arrive early and that she can send a limousine to come and pick her up from her place but the twenty-one-year old was set on going by herself and refused to inconvenience anyone. She did not need a car to pick her up, her apartment was eight blocks away from the hospital and she did not want her father to know that she was using his limousine because she was running late. That would just be irresponsible.

11:05. I can still make it.

Elsa was speed walking. She cut through the park in hopes of getting to her destination faster since this route was the easiest shortcut instead of going another way. The only day where she allowed herself to sleep in and put her phone on silent, her father decided to pull the rug from under her feet and catch her off guard with this change of schedule. She cursed under her breath and continued to walk swiftly, her stilettos clacking against the pavement.

Lack of time prevented her from putting make-up on and she could only manage to fix her platinum blonde mane in a simple bun, her bangs swept to the side in an effortless but fashionable manner. She hurriedly dressed herself in black slacks and a red button-down shirt with the sleeves rolled up just above her elbows. Upon exiting her apartment, she stopped by a nearby deli to grab a cup of coffee to jolt her back to reality and wake her senses. No time for Starbucks, she needed something warm in her stomach to somehow calm her nerves.

She took a sharp sip from her coffee while continuing to scan her phone for text messages and e-mails. Her head was dipped low and her eyes were shifting back and forth trying to read the words on the screen. She continued to move forward, inattentive and oblivious of the running figure from a distance that was coming from the opposite direction towards her.


Imagine me and you *huff* I do *huff*I think about you day and night *huff* it's only right *huff* to think about the girl you love and hold her tight *huff* so happy together *huff*

Anna tried to sing the classic Turtles song in between breaths while she continued to run. Kristoff made her a playlist titled, "~beastly reindeer king songs~" and insisted that she downloaded it on her iPod. She did not find this song to be particularly "beastly." Actually, the whole playlist was far from intimidating and fast-paced. She was quite surprised to know that Kristoff listened to "oldies" music. The playlist included songs from The Beach Boys, The Cure, and a variety from The Beatles. It was out of character for the stocky football player to be listening to such mellow music, but Anna loved the surprise.

What a fruitcake. A small grin rose from the corner of her lips as she thought of her best friend.

The adrenaline infused redhead was sprinting this time; she just wanted to end her exercise but will not stop until she's done circling the park for her last lap. She can feel her shins and her legs burn from pain, but Anna was stubborn and did not let this throbbing inconvenience stop her.

Something caught her eye from her far right.

She saw two little girls chasing each other as their father and mother laughed and ran along with them. Anna slowed her pace and smiled widely, watching the little family run in circles in a field of grass near the playground. The Turtles were still serenading her while she jogged, her eyes shining at the adorable sight.


Imagine how the world could be, so very fine, so happy together…


I'm fifteen mins away. I'll be there soon. –E

Elsa struggled to text with one hand. She wanted to call Vanellope but decided not to because she suspected the secretary was preparing the office for the meeting and she did not want to disturb her. She continued to walk, taking another sip from her already lukewarm coffee. Elsa suddenly felt a slight chill as a whooshing sound reverberated through the park, making the trees sway along with the wind. In a hurried frenzy from trying to leave her apartment to get to the hospital on time, she had forgotten to bring a blazer with her.

Her phone started to buzz in her palm. She shook her head and sighed appreciatively. Vanellope replies fast. But when she lifted her hand to take a closer look at the screen, she was surprised that it wasn't from the secretary, but from her childhood friend from Norway named Olaf.

Hi, Your Majesty. I'm going to be in Revenland for a few weeks! Please make time for me because I REALLY wanna see you and give you the warmest of hugs! Call me when you get this message! :D

Elsa's face lit up upon reading this. She immediately clicked on Olaf's name to make a call, excitement started to swell from within her as she placed the phone over her ear. When she made a turn, she caught a glimpse of a family of four running around and laughing extravagantly.


Me and you and you and me, no matter how they toss the dice, it has to be…


Voicemail. Elsa frowned and waited for Olaf's phone to prompt her to leave a message.

"Olaf! I just got your text message," her eyes followed the smaller girl who was wearing a green shirt and white shorts. She was chasing a taller girl who was probably her older sister. They had matching shorts, but the older girl was wearing a light blue shirt. "You can stay over my place, let me know when you're coming so I can clear my schedule." Elsa caught the mother's attention, and the woman smiled warmly at her. She shyly returned the gesture and continued to walk briskly, distracted by the older girl who locked the smaller girl in an embrace from the back. Her voice was shaking with laughter as she loudly exclaimed, "Tickle bumps!" The younger girl squealed in delight and tried to wiggle herself from her sister's arms; the older girl darted her hands onto the sides of the little girl, her fingers wriggled mercilessly as she tickled her.

The blonde shook her head, a smile forming on her lips when she saw the older girl plant a kiss on her baby sister's forehead while they were on the grass playfully tackling each other.


The only one for me is you, and you for me, so happy together…


The sound of running shoes crushing aggressively against the pavement broke through Elsa's stupor, causing her to whip her head towards the source of the noise. Blue eyes widened like saucers when she saw a mixture of reds and greys charging towards her.

Anna was beaming at the sight of the children. When she was finished admiring the view, she turned her head and immediately caught sight of a taller woman dressed in red. Teal eyes widened with panic as they realized how close their proximity was. The girl in front of her mirrored her expression and tried to step aside but it was too late. Way too late.

Oh shit!

Anna yanked the earphones from her ear. She tried to slow down, but her momentum prevented her from doing so. Her attempt to stop abruptly failed as she skidded and tripped over her feet, her body crashing onto the other girl. Her head bumped onto Elsa's shoulder, the impact causing the blonde to stumble backwards and drop her phone and coffee cup; its contents spraying both her and the redhead as it landed on the floor, soaking Anna's sneakers with one last splat.

Before either of them can react, Anna was still trying to gain some balance when her foot landed on her dangling earphones, resulting to a very ungraceful fall.

Elsa stared at her heels and her soaked pants in horror, her hands froze in midair and her legs were slightly parted in an almost crouching position. She can feel her ears ringing and the beating of her heart was so loud. If she didn't know any better, she would have believed that it was going to burst right out of her chest.

"I am so sorry," Elsa snapped her head at Anna's direction upon hearing her voice, her panic causing her to momentarily forget that the other girl was there. It happened too fast. Anna was already standing up and she was clumsily wiping her hands on her shorts. Rivulets of blood trickled from her leg because she scraped it from tripping and falling. " I-I wasn't looking! Are you hurt?" Anna flinched at the sudden pain from her leg and from seeing Elsa's startled form. Her face was so red from embarrassment, she wasn't sure what to do with her hands as they started to fly in every direction while she explained herself.

Elsa was also flustered, shaky hands frantically smoothed her red shirt, slight relief washing over her when she realized it wasn't drenched in coffee. "I was looking at the cute little children and I didn't even notice that you were there!" The redhead was quickly filled with dismay. She couldn't look Elsa in the eye, humiliation and shame still etched on her face.

What a dumbass excuse. Anna bit her tongue, rebuking herself for her reckleness.

She was still hanging her head low, avoiding eye contact, when saw Elsa's white iPhone on the ground. Anna took the opportunity to duck down to pick it up, hoping that the flush on her face would somehow disappear. When she rose up to finally face Elsa, the blonde cleared her throat.

"I'm fine. Are you okay?" Elsa asked cautiously, unfocused, her eyes flitting back and forth between Anna's disheveled hair and the distracting array of freckles peppered over her nose. She can still hear the drumming of her heart pounding through her chest. Calm down. This is nothing. You're okay. Breathe in. Out. She surveyed the shorter girl as she rested a hand over her chest. Her heart started to relax and slow its pace when she took control of her breathing. Steady. Breathe. You're okay. It's okay.

Teal meets blue.

Holy. Shit. Anna's eyes widened at the sight of Elsa.

Thud.

Thud.

Thud.

Anna gulped nervously, her ears felt hot and her throat was suddenly dry. "Uh, yeah," she croaked as she extended her hand to give Elsa her phone. "Here's your phone." Their fingers brushed against each other at the exchange, making Elsa blush in spite of herself. Wait, what?

"I am so sorry. I'll replace your pants! I'll buy you another cup of co-" Anna's voice was pleading and she was about to bombard Elsa with apologies once again when the platinum blonde interrupted her.

Elsa shook her head and waved her hand dismissively. "No, it's okay. Really, it is. It was an accident," Elsa was hoping that her smile was convincing to somehow relax the overly flustered girl. She ran a hand over the top of head to smoothen her hair, wishing she had brought her purse so she can pull out her little mirror to see if it was still in tact.

"I'm going to a meeting and it's right around the corner. I'm okay." Elsa kept tapping the screen of her phone with her thumb, her arms now hanging uselessly against her thighs. She nervously checked her wristwatch and gritted her teeth against her tongue. 2:25. She wasn't going to make it to that meeting on time. And if she did, she wasn't sure if her father would be thrilled to see her looking so rumpled and reeking with the scent of cheap coffee. She can't back out now, she was expected to be there and she was just a few blocks away.

Anna looked to her side, tucking her hair behind her ears, her freckled face still hinting shades of reds.

"I have to….."

"Are you sure you're…."

Both girls spoke at the same time, and when their words clashed, they looked at each other and turned their heads away, avoiding each other's stares. The redhead bit her lower lip and timidly folded her hands together in front of her, teal eyes scanning the floor for a hole to sink herself into so it can swallow her whole. Elsa forced a nervous laugh, a sudden blush dusting her pale cheeks.

Regaining her composure while trying to avoid the uncomfortable wetness that was just below her legs from the splatter of the coffee, she looked at Anna, whose head was still dipped low in shame. Elsa followed Anna's gaze; she noticed that the redhead's once white sneakers were completely saturated with her beverage.

"Hey, it's really okay." Elsa offered, looking up. She felt bad for Anna and did not mean for her to be this abashed. It was an accident after all.

Anna slowly and hesitantly raised her head to train her eyes on Elsa's face.

Anna noted Elsa's appearance: The blonde had her hair styled in a bun with loose strands sticking out, and her bangs were swept to the side, revealing bright blue eyes that reminded Anna of the sky. Her lips were slightly parted, and her cheeks were covered in a soft shade of pink. She noticed Elsa's chest heaving back and forth, the top of it bare from her shirt not being buttoned all the way up to the neck-the tips of her ears felt hot; she gulped, hoping the other girl did not notice.

Holy. Shit. She's so…gorgeous.

She stayed quiet for a few seconds, collecting her thoughts so she wouldn't babble something incoherent and embarrass herself even more. Once she was convinced that she was ready to talk without making a fool out of herself, Anna took a step forward. She slightly cringed when she felt the wetness inside her shoes and the throbbing pain on her leg from her previous fall. I guess I need to buy new running shoes now. And some band-aids. The thought of coffee and sweat combining made her stomach turn. She shook the disgusting images away and diverted her attention back to the blue-eyed girl.

Anna swallowed hard in an attempt to wash away the tremor in her voice. Stop being so awkward.

"I'm Anna. Anna Fjellheim," Anna tried to sound casual as she extended her hand, watching Elsa cautiously for any sign of refusal. She didn't know why she was introducing herself, but it seemed like the appropriate thing to do. Because of her, the girl is late to a very important meeting. Because of her, she might get fired from her job. Negative thoughts bombarded Anna's mind but her hand stayed still, reaching out to Elsa's. It took Elsa a second to realize what was going on and she quickly switched to professional mode.

"Elsa Arendelle," the blonde blinked and replied mechanically as she took Anna's hand. Anna felt the softness of Elsa's palm against her own. A warm flush crept up to the blonde's face at the contact which she found to be strange because she's used to shaking people's hand-that, she can handle as long as she didn't engage in long conversations. Walt made sure that she had the social skills to communicate with others even if it was just a facade. Shake hands. Smile. Be polite. Make small chit chats. That's all you need to do. If you're nervous, conceal it and don't let it show. Put on a show.

Arendelle...that sounds familiar. Anna pursed her lip in thought. But before Anna can remember where she had heard that name before, she turned to look at Elsa and noticed that she was blushing. Her worry started to resurface again.

A look of concern furrowed the redhead's brows. "Are you sure you're going to be okay?" Elsa smiled weakly, touched by Anna's sincerity. "Yes, I'll be fine," she replied. Anna fiddled with the tangled earphones in her hand, not knowing what to say next as she scuffed her shoes on the ground hoping for them to somehow dry up. Elsa was hugging herself, cerulean eyes studying the skies above them. The sun was hiding behind the clouds and Elsa wondered if it was going to rain. Anna was watching her, taking in another gulp, suddenly mesmerized by how attractive she is. She had wanted to say more but couldn't find the words. What else was there to say anyway?

Oh God, do you know how overly attractive you are and how stupid I feel right now for bringing us both in this stupid, awkward, stupid, stupidest situation?

"I have to go my meeting," Elsa said, her gentle voice breaking through Anna's panicked stupor. Her arms were still wrapped around herself, but her eyes were now fixed on Anna. "Oh yeah. S-sure. Meeting. Of course. Have fun." The redhead sputtered, the blush on her face returning with a vengeance.

"It was nice meeting you, Anna." Intrigue and wonder played on Elsa's shy smile. She couldn't help but find Anna...fascinating.

Why is she so flustered? Elsa thought.

Usually, when placed in an awkward situation, Elsa would be the one panicking, her nerves shooting in every direction. But surprisingly so, she wasn't as shaken. Her heart was no longer running in a stampede and she wasn't deathly petrified. Anna had taken the blow and claimed all the awkwardness and dread all on her own. Puzzled and conflicted by these thoughts, Elsa found herself...grateful to Anna. For the first time in so long, she found herself somewhat calm in the presence of another person. A stranger. It was a rare occurrence, and it was something Elsa found to be…refreshing.

Pause.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Anna asked hesitantly, she was gripping the edge of her shirt with both hands, her thumbs rubbing against each other. She wanted to slap herself for asking the same question over and over again, but that was all she can really come up with. She was tongue tied and caught off guard, being in front of Elsa was making her nervous and fidgety.

"I'm fine. Thank you." Elsa replied patiently, finding it hard to conceal her smile, which she tried to cover by placing a hand over her mouth. Anna's eyes widened and she flashed Elsa a goofy grin. Elsa chuckled and was about to say something when her cellphone started to buzz. There was an incoming call from Vanellope. Shit. "I really have to go," she told Anna apologetically, glancing at Anna and then at her phone.

"Okay," Anna replied, eyes flickering between Elsa and the phone in her hand. She scratched the back of her neck, her fingers digging deep through her skin. "I'll see you around, Elsa." Anna grinned nervously, wondering if Elsa can hear the somersaults her heart was currently doing.

Elsa nodded and gave Anna a shy lopsided smile. She raised her hand to give a small wave but hesitated, allowing it to close in on a fist as she lowered it down. "Goodbye, Anna." They looked at each other for a moment before Elsa turned her back and started to walk away. Anna watched Elsa's figure grow dim as she kept walking farther. When Elsa was no longer in sight, she let out her breath in a long sigh of relief.

She was holding her breath the whole time while she was watching Elsa leave.

Her hand reached into her pockets to retrieve her iPod, thankful when she saw that it didn't crack when it fell on the ground with her. When she connected her earphones back to the machine, she pressed "play". The Turtles happily continued their upbeat song; unaware of everything that just happened.

When you're with me, baby, the skies will be blue for all my life…

Anna tilted her head upwards, squinting, because of the sudden reappearance of the sun. Cotton-candy shaped clouds floated in the atmosphere, adding decorum and company to the vast and endless horizon. She closed her eyes and let the sun's warmth wash over her, allowing herself to clear her mind and breathe in fresh air. And when she opened them again, blue skies greeted her once again.

Blue. Just like Elsa's eyes.
