A/N This is all that had happened to Elsa from the point when she left her roommates. I have nothing against Gaston! Okay perhaps a little bit of annoyance to him.

Disclaimer: I don't own Dreamworks or Disney.

Elsa walked through the house feeling the music rattle in her chest relieved to be away from her friends. Sure I feel bad for my cousin but there is nothing I can do. Some people lived off of drama and tension- she wasn't one of them.

She stopped just outside of the dining room leaning against the nearest wall as she let out a breath. The bass thumped through the walls. Elsa like many other socially impaired teens decided to result to her smartphone for a form of entertainment. Reaching into her pocket she half mindedly grabbed air instead of her phone.

Shit. Rocketing off the wall she patted her body down. Since she didn't change before they left for the game she still wore her floral shorts, teal blouse, and sandals.

A beefy black haired male named Gaston, supplied her brain, cat-called from the dancing mob across the foyer to her. "Do you need some help?"

I knew it was a mistake to come. First I lose my phone and now I'm getting hit on by this asshole.

Glad that Anna was in the other room she glared at him with a face that could rival a poker player as she flipped him off.

Gaston just laughed and replied, "Maybe later doll face."

Shuddering before taking another deep breath she thought of where it might be. I had it with me in the truck, maybe I left it there.

Giving herself a slight nod she briskly walked to the front door. As she left the house she passed a pair of guys. One looked like how she felt as a beacon of white hair dragged his friend toward the house. In the dark she couldn't tell for sure if the 'beacon' winked at her or not.

Continuing on her trek she reached Merida's pickup truck. Opening up the backseat door she thought Merida needs to learn how to use the locks for this thing. Picking up a blue iphone she let out a breath of air. I guess I really did leave something in here.

Turning she faced the fraternity house. It looked just as threatening like when the three girls parked in front of the house. The strobing lights gave her a headache. Maybe I could leave… If I take the truck how will Anna, Mer, and Punzie get home? Maybe I can walk home? Glancing up at the address she sighed in defeat. Where the hell am I? Guess I'm going back into the fire. Rolling her shoulders like she was going into battle, Elsa walked back to the party.

Each step she took an amount of hidden courage. Once she reached the door again she was prepared for the sight of a mass of people.

Stiffly Elsa walked through the crowd. She tried not to bump into her peers but they weren't being nearly as considerate. Slowly she felt as if she was drowning in the party goers.

Panic consumed her whole. Elsa froze in her spot. She felt woozy and dizzy. Absent mindedly she thought, was I drugged? I didn't drink anything. The room spinned around her. The circle of people tightened around her like a noose. Her breathing came out short and rapid.

A hole appeared in front of her leading upstairs to the balcony.

One single thought moved her back into action. Escape.

Rushing through the opening she jumped steps two at a time to the second floor where it was visibly less occupied.

Once Elsa reached the landing she grasped the railing overlooking the throng of people. Her grip slowly turned her already pale knuckles white. She shut her eyes tight. In and out. Taking a deep breath Elsa calmed her ragged breathing. As her pulse returned to normal she slowly released her hold and opened her icey blue eyes.

"Hey, you okay?" asked a gentle voice. Looking to her right she saw the same head of white from earlier. No one can deny how hot he was up close. His hands were tucked into his royal blue sweater pockets and his arctic eyes spoke volumes of concern. Did he see me have a panic attack? Oh no...

Tearing her eyes away from the stranger to her hands still on the balcony. "Yeah, I just, panicked." She blushed at her confession.

"Social Anxiety?" What? Elsa gave him a confused look. "Oh sorry," Jack's white ears tinted red, "I'm pre-med, I want to become a pediatrician. I sometimes 'diagnose' people. Sorry if I offended you. The name's Jack."

With an amused smile she nodded. "Elsa. I couldn't become a pediatrician if my life counted on it. How could someone look at a 8 year old and her family and tell them that she's going to die?" She asked incredulously.

Jack shrugged his shoulders. "You are looking only at the bad side. Someone's got to be able to make sure they don't die or at least try." He grinned and before Elsa knew it she was too. "Imagine the 8 year old in a couple of decades she could become president or the only one who can stop our robot overlords." She stifled a giggle. Does he actually believe in all of the sci-fi pre-apocalypse stuff? He waved to the crowd below them. "Everyone here has a life story and I can't just let their story end before it has begun." He stated earnestly. That changed from being funny to inspiring. Cudos to you, Jack.

With an admiring smile she said, "That's a great cause. I'm glad there's still people like you in this world."

With a smirk on his playful face he mockingly replied. "Well, I try." Elsa rolled her eyes and chuckled at him. And back to funny. She thought.

A smirk of her own creeped on. "Now I might just have to take that back." She joked.

Jack took a step back and placed his right hand on his chest while trying to keep a smile off his face. "Such ugly words from such a pretty mouth." Elsa just shrugged halfheartedly. Jack just shook his head with a small smile. "I can't believe I'm doing this, but," He whispered to himself as he pulled out a business card. "I would love to get to know you better, perhaps go on a date, so here's my number." Handing her the card he winked at her and walked back down the stairs to the party.

Elsa pulled out her iphone. She glanced from the card to the cell. Do I put his number into my contacts? The question reverberated through her brain. Shrugging she put the number in her back pocket. I'll deal with that later.

She unlocked the phone. The screen saver was a picture of Anna and her from a couple of weeks ago. Anna had convinced her into doing blind makeovers. Anna had purple eyeshadow all over her eyebrows and red lipstick on her chin. Elsa in comparison had almost sunburn red blush on the sides of her cheeks and a pink lipstick mustache. They were both smiling.

Anna…

Anna had always been there for Elsa. The younger was always protecting the elder. The elder was always protecting the younger. It was a cycle of love that had only been disturbed once during high school. Over the stupidest thing at that- a boy. Ever since that fateful day Elsa had created a mask of isolation that only Anna could lift.

From years of distancing herself from classmates, they dubbed her the Ice Queen because of her cold demeanor. Her persona didn't encourage boys to flirt with her. So why did Jack give me his number?

"Elsa," Punzie came up behind Elsa and put a hand on her shoulder. "I need to leave." Her green eyes were red and puffy. Her cheeks were shiny and wet. What the hell? Without a word Elsa nodded and held her hand as they descended the staircase.

Having a goal in mind gave Elsa the courage to push past the crowd to where Merida and Anna were.

Merida was still talking to the tall brunette but her face was red from alcohol and she gestured her arms around as she told him about how her dad lost his leg. "And chomp!" Mer jumped in the air trying to scare him. "Dad's leg was clear off." Her scottish accent was thicker now that she was intoxicated. The guy was clearly entertained by her tale.

"Merida." Elsa called as they approached.

She turned towards the cousins. "Punz." She whispered, you could see the moment her heart broke for the blonde. Merida gave the dude her empty beer bottle and gave Rapunzel a tender hug almost like she was trying to protect her naive best friend. "Who did this to you? I'll kill them." She snarled.

Elsa left the three people as she walked back to her sister. Anna was cuddled in Kristoff's side and holding his left hand while his right arm was around her. They really are just too cute. "Anna." She looked up questioningly at the sibling. "Cuz' says we need to go."

Anna paled. "I knew I shouldn't had let her go." She turned back to her boyfriend of 2 years and gave him a gentle kiss on the lips. "Got to go. I'll text you later." He unwrapped his arms from her as she got up.

The two sisters was met to the sight of the brunette holding Merida from going up the stairs. "Hiccup let me go. That is not a request." She darkly growled.

Smiling at the two young adults Anna asked. "Hiccup?" He gave her half of his attention while the other was still on the firey red head. "Could you walk us back to the truck?"

"It would be an honor, Anna. Lead the way." Elsa had to admit as they walked out to the truck that Hiccup had a good grip on the Scott given how thin he looked. Once they reached the car Anna plucked the lanyard with the keys from Merida's pocket.

Rapunzel sneezed into her pink scarf. "Thanks Hiccup. I'll take it from here." She walked up to Merida and hugged her, squeezing tightly. Hiccup let go of the ginger once his shift was done but he had a slight frown. Should it be from concern for Rapunzel or because he had to release the living fire, Elsa couldn't tell.

Merida returned the favor and wrapped her arms around Punzie. She rubbed circles into her back. Rapunzel let out a fresh round of sobs. Merida shushed the blonde.

Anna opened the backseat door and helped the weeping and furious girls inside. After closing the door insuring everyone's safety the sisters approached Hiccup. He had his hands shoved into his pockets. "Thanks Hiccup," Anna said gratefully, "I had no idea how we were going to make it through that without a murder."

Hiccup rubbed his neck in awkwardness. "No problem."

"Do you want to drive?" Anna asked Elsa.

Raising an eyebrow she responded. "I don't even know where we are."

"Welp..." Turning to Hiccup she waved goodbye as she walked to the driver's door. "Until another time."

"Bye." Elsa offered sliding into the passenger seat.

As they pulled into the driving lane Elsa could see from the rear window Hiccup waving farewell with a half smile on his face.

A/N So yeah…
