"Human, I fear I may need assistance." Elsa's voice sounded through the wood of the bathroom door.

"Don't say that, Elsa. You can do it." Anna encouraged, praying she would not need to enter the bathroom.

"Why do human females need to go through this? It is quite painful." Elsa let out a grunt of muffled pain, or frustration.

"It's like a rite of passage into the world of adult females. It gets easier over time." Anna explained, doing her best not to think about what was going on beyond this door.

Anna listened for a solid minute of Elsa going through the trial that every woman had to at some point. Well, she supposed Elsa's species didn't need to do this, but if she was going to be parading around in a human body, then she had to deal with this eventually.

"Human," There was silence for a moment, Anna holding her breath. "I believe I have succeeded in the task given to me."

Anna breathed out relief. "Good, now you just have to-"

"Will you not confirm that I have done this correctly? I am not sure, but it feels messy, perhaps I have failed."

Anna groaned, there was no avoiding this. She needed to make sure Elsa did this right or else she risked being embarrassed in public. Anna couldn't let her go through that. No, no girl should ever have to go through that embarrassment. With a deep breath, Anna poked out her chest, hoping it gave her confidence as she grabbed the door handle to the bathroom.

"Okay, i'm coming in."

Anna opened the door and came face to face with Elsa. Elsa watched her stare at her, watched her eyes scan over her to make sure she had done it right.

Well, that wasn't what Anna was doing.

Anna was shamefully getting an eyeful of her exposed roommate. There, in front of her, stood Elsa in another pair of Anna's tight jeans, though she could see the tips of underwear poking through this time. What really got Anna's attention was the amount of skin being displayed on the top half of Elsa's body. Elsa stood in nothing but a bra, her athletic body on full display. Her stomach, while nothing too excessive, showed obvious signs of muscle, her arms, while small, showed a few lines of muscle that did not speak of the real volume of strength Elsa possessed. Anna just stood there 'admiring' her roommates sports model body.

"Have I equipped the armor properly?" Elsa asked, breaking Anna's trance.

"O-oh..." Anna looked to Elsa's bra and saw that she managed to buckle the too small thing around her chest, but the cups were a little high, giving Anna her first look at underboob. "Just uh... just move the flesh to the middle, so that it's not hanging out." She tried, mind being overloaded with too many thoughts at once, most of which she should have been ashamed of.

Elsa looked to her breast before cupping them, and Anna watched with perverse fascination as Elsa handled herself. "Like this?" Elsa asked as she pushed her breasts into the cups, causing them to press firmly into her body and swell, making it look as though she were wearing a push up bra.

"Y-yeah." Anna said, finally gaining enough sense to turn around now that Elsa had managed to put the bra on properly. It was too small, what with it being Anna's bra and all, but she needed to wear something while they went out for the first time.

"Then I am ready to go? I shall blend in with your kind with ease?" She questioned.

Anna glanced at her one more time before looking away. "Just uh... just pull up your pants a little more and make sure you can't see the underwear beneath." Anna told her.

Anna never knew the sound of fabric moving and a girl's grunts of effort could be so sexy.

"It would seem that the excess flesh at the top of my legs makes this a difficult task." Elsa commented, causing poor Anna's imagination to go wild as she imagined Elsa's bubbly bottom being squeezed into her jeans.

"J-just put your shirt on when you're done." Anna tried to stay professional, tried to guide Elsa, but it was growing increasingly difficult.

Anna heard Elsa put the shirt over her head before, "I have equipped all of the human armor."

Anna turned around. "I told you before, it's not armor... they're clothes." Anna said, her libido calming down a bit now that Elsa was dressed in her jeans and a tall shirt, well not so tall on Elsa. She really regretted not having anything a little more... girly for Elsa. Elsa wanted to blend in, and the best way to achieve that would to be like other girls, not dress up like a tomboy like Anna.

"Clothes." Elsa repeated, probably logging the word into her list for English. "What sort of capabilites do these 'clothes' have? Will they deflect basic human weaponry?" Elsa asked, inspecting herself the whole while.

Anna sighed as she realized this was going to be a long morning.

Anna had managed to get Elsa to agree to go shopping with her. She had to lure the alien with not only the promise that this would enhance their friendship, but that it would also help her blend in if she had clothes appropriate for her size. Elsa had insisted on wearing her alien 'armor' as she kept calling it, though all Anna saw was a sexy catsuit. A little more coaxing from Anna got her to give up, though she looked none too pleased about it. The one thing Anna couldn't get her to take off was the bracelet around her wrist, not that Anna tried very hard, she'd just told her it looked... well it looked very advanced, not like a normal accessory. Anna wondered what more it could do besides the few things she had seen.

"So I don't live too far from the mall. We could walk there." Anna announced as they left the apartment.

"You are positive that I appear human?" Elsa asked one last time as they stepped outside the apartment building.

"I wouldn't say human, more a goddess, really." Anna blushed. God, was she flirting? No, she was just paying a compliment to ease her friend's worries.

"What is a goddess?" Elsa asked while they walked down the street, her eyes watching the cars that passed by.

Anna looked stumped. "Uh... you don't have like gods where you come from?" Anna asked, taking the question a little more seriously than she needed. She could have just told Elsa it meant she was beautiful, but she felt that Elsa needed to know just how divine she was.

Just because she wanted to ease her worries of course.

"Gods?"

"You know... like powerful beings that shape the world the way it is. Some say we were created by the gods, others say they can control the weather or parts of the earth. I mean, there are a lot of gods in human culture. Not that, like everyone believes in the same gods. In fact most people fight about it." As Anna spoke, she suddenly felt uncomfortable. The topic about gods and religion was always a sensitive topic for humans. Surely Elsa's people had their own beliefs and so what if she took offense? What if-

"I do not understand. Where are these powerful beings you speak of?"

Anna blinked at the most asked question of human history.

"Uh... no one knows. It's more of a faith thing." Anna admitted, feeling stupid that she couldn't answer Elsa's question properly.

"Faith? As in the thought of strong confidence in something?"

"Yes! Exactly!" Anna didn't know why she was so excited that Elsa nailed that definition.

"So... these 'gods' and 'goddesses' are beings that elude your senses, yet you have faith that they exist and do good for you?" She questioned.

"That's... pretty accurate." Anna shrugged, waiting for Elsa to call humans foolish for their belief.

"Hmm... seems illogical." Elsa said, and Anna just nodded, expecting something like that. But then Elsa spoke more. "I wonder if my people believe in such things."

Anna looked to Elsa and saw her faraway look. She wondered if she was thinking about her homeworld now and possibly missing it. "You don't know if they do?"

"I was not trained to know such things." Elsa said emotionlessly, as though it were expected.

"Oh... uh what were you trained to do?" Anna asked innocently, just enjoying that Elsa was talking.

However Elsa narrowed her eyes at the question and even though she kept her stare ahead of herself, Anna could feel the glare.

"I do not believe that information necessary to share."

And so the duo remained quiet for some time. Elsa was looking out for possible threats to her person as her twitchy eyes looked everywhere, constantly eyeing the few humans who walked past and the cars that drove by. As for Anna, she just wondered if she had upset Elsa with her questioning. Obviously she had dug a little too deep there. She hoped this didn't ruin the trip and that Elsa would keep talking. So after about ten minutes of silence, and the duo stopped at the edge of the street and waited for the cars to pass, Anna tried to strike up conversation again.

"I don't suppose you know your sizes for clothing?" Anna questioned.

"No." Then she looked to Anna with a look that Anna didn't recognize. "Don't you know? You have been eyeing my body for some time, was that not the reason why?" Then her eyes thinned suspicously when Anna spluttered out sounds but not words.

Anna saved herself by going with the lie, telling Elsa that was in fact exactly why she looked at her from time to time, to which Elsa responded, "It is everytime you look at me, especially as I equipped this armor to protect my chest fat." Anna could do nothing but laugh away her accusations. She managed to get Elsa's accusatory gaze off of her, but inside she was mentally beating herself.

Stupid, stupid, stupid! Was about as far as her thoughts went.

Anna somehow managed to make it to the mall with Elsa without further embarassing herself. When they got there however, Elsa stopped outside and Anna managed to take five steps before realizing her friend was not with her.

"C'mon, Elsa. You can't shop outside." Anna said, giving a little gesture for Elsa to hurry up.

Elsa, just looked, not at Anna, but rather at this fortress that the human called a mall. There were so many people, so many humans ranging from all sizes just walking in and out, chattering loudly as they went. While Anna was unaware that Elsa was incapable of feeling fear, Elsa did know, and wondered what was stopping her. Well, further thoughts made it quite clear. She was going into a large human nest without her armor, no weapon besides her ice, and with no knowledge of what was to be expected inside. She could very well be walking into her grave. She was not afraid to lose her life, but even she knew not to throw it away so easily, especially not to the enemy. Who knows what knowledge they would gain from her corpse. She shouldn't do this, couldn't do it, it was illogical of her to proceed inside. She would turn around and go back to Anna's nest, she knew the way back and had learned how to walk the human streets.

But then she felt warmth in her left hand. She looked down, seeing sunkissed skin wrapped around a hand that was grabbing her own. She did not retaliate, didn't think to use her ice. Instead she looked up into Anna's strangely colored eyes and watched her lips move as they said two words. "Let's go." She smiled at Elsa and for reasons that Elsa didn't know, she let Anna pull her inside the fortress where she would be in danger.

Anna, ignorant to Elsa's internal debates, started talking as she led Elsa pass several people and into the mall.

"So I was thinking we could get you some clothes first. I know that bra is uncomfortable, but in the long run you want to look as normal as possible on the outside, right? So clothes first, then underwear." Anna said happily, feeling kind of like a teenager again, like she was out shopping with her parents money with Rapunzel again.

Anna took the paranoid alien to the clothing store as promised. Elsa seemed to relax a little more once they entered a store and out of the large crowd of people. They'd had a little run in where someone bumped into Elsa and Elsa nearly turned him into an ice statue on the spot. Luckily Anna managed to stop it just in time and drag Elsa off while the man was still trying to realize if he really saw Elsa's hand crackling with magic or not.

"So... what do you want?" Anna asked after Elsa picked up and put back many different shirts. Anna wasn't anywhere fancy, lord knows she couldn't afford it, so she'd taken Elsa to the boring section of clothes that were mostly solid colors, but most importantly cheaper.

Elsa picked up a blue tanktop and then picked up a black sports bra.

"How do I tell which armor has the best properties? These labels tell you nothing. Could they stand a gammaton ray set to max or low? Are they equipped for heavy temperatures such as a weapon that fires out flames. I do believe i've seen what you humans call a 'flamethrower' on the television. Which one of these could withstand its fiery blaze?" Elsa questioned in a way that only an alien would.

Anna just blinked. "Um..." Was all she managed to get out.

"Can I help you two?" A young and chubby woman walked up to them, probably a college student. She wore a big smile for the both of them as she picked up a blue top and held it up to Elsa. "Whoa! You'll be beating the boys off of you with this." She said, obviously trying to make a sale.

Despite her intentions, Anna did admit that the ice blue camisole top would look great on Elsa, it matched her eyes perfectly.

Elsa did not feel the same.

"What dark deed do you have planned with your false smile?" Elsa glared at the woman and spat the words out with enough emotion to let Anna know she was angry.

"What?" The employee recoiled as she held the camisole to herself as if it would protect her from the tall blonde.

"I am aware of your sinister nature, human. Begone before I bend your back until your head touches your leg fat." Seemingly impossible, Elsa managed to glare even harder.

"W-what? I will call security-"

"Call whomever you wish. You shall be the first to have her spine ripped from her back and whipped to death with it!" Elsa harshly said, loud enough to gather the attention of a few patrons.

Frightened, the employee dropped the camisole and ran off, likely to get security.

Elsa turned to Anna and held up another shirt. "Does this have the ability to negate heatseeking rockets by rendering my body as cold to the outside world?"

Anna, who had been gaping like a fish, bit her lip and looked around nervously. She quickly took the outfits away from Elsa and hung them back up. Elsa was confused as Anna grabbed her once again and dragged her out of the store as quickly as Elsa allowed. Anna mixed them into the crowd in the hopes that if security did come, they wouldn't find them.

"Let's try a different store." Anna said, trying to sound cheerful, but it came out as a nervous chuckle.

And another store they did try. Anna brought Elsa to a different clothing store, this one for women only. It was more expensive, but Anna figured it was better than trying to explain to security why Elsa felt the need to threaten someone's life.

"Okay, Elsa." Anna said as she held up a summer dress. "Remember when I said that these were clothes and not armor." Anna waited for Elsa to give her a nod. "Well clothes don't protect you from missiles and bullets and gammaton rays. They keep you warm from the cold and cover your private bits." Anna explained.

"What are private bits?" Elsa asked genuinely.

Anna just widened her eyes at the question before looking around to make sure no one was listening. She leaned in and whispered. "You know... like your breasts and stuff."

"I'm afraid I don't understand. Show me these private bits. Show me what is so important to a human that it deserves protection over the rest of the body." Elsa asked, thinking Anna was talking about the internal working of humans.

Anna just pointed at her chest. "Your breasts." She said it like it was obvious. She had to remind herself that Elsa's original form did not have breasts.

Anna's face blushed when Elsa reached up and cupped herself. "Why are these so important? Aren't they just extra fat to protect your chest?"

Anna looked around and saw a middle aged woman looking at them. She quickly reached up and took Elsa's hands away from her own breasts. "They are important, okay? I will explain more at the house if you want me too, but not here. Just... just trust me. Clothes are not armor. If you want to think of them as armor, think of them as the lowest possible protection you can get." Anna told her, praying that Elsa would just let it go and not be so... well alien.

"So humans walk around unprotected?"

"Pretty much."

Elsa frowned. "And this is normal?"

"Extremely."

Elsa looked like she'd just accidently kicked a puppy. "I understand. Please assist me in finding more normal clothes to blend in."

Anna, relief washing over her that Elsa finally understood, reached up and held the summerdress out for Elsa to take.

"No." Was Elsa's quick rejection.

Anna blinked in confusion. "No?"

"I shall not wear something that leaves me so vulnerable. I wish to have some protection, like you."

Anna looked down at herself. She was wearing a pair of baggy jeans and a red t-shirt with an old yellow stain at the bottom. "You... want to dress like me?" Disbelief.

Elsa nodded. "It is normal, yes?"

"Well... yeah. But i'm not dressed very feminine. I mean people don't look twice at you if your dressed like me." She admitted, not going into detail about all of the crushes in highschool who never looked her way.

"Sounds delightful.I wish to be as ordinary as they come." Elsa insisted.

Anna pouted a bit before hanging the dress back up. She didn't want to admit to Elsa that she just wanted to see her in feminine clothes. Elsa would look beautiful regardless, and so her hopes of not being noticed would crash and burn. Anna cursed her horrible fashion sense that she had rubbed off on Elsa.

Really, she just wanted to see Elsa show more skin, but that was a thought that was pushed far back in her mind.

Anna left the store with three bags. She carried all of them as she guided Elsa to the next store. Now, Anna was a simple woman, her mind didn't think of complex things and she liked things to be laid out perfectly clear for her. She was also so simple that it was easy to tell why she did whatever she did. Anna would buy an icecream because she wanted something sweet. She would eat chocolate because she was a choco-holic. She let an alien into her house because she wanted to help. She bought her alien friend clothes because she wanted them to feel a little more at ease on the planet by knowing she blended in better.

She brought Elsa to Victoria's Secret because she was a naughty girl in denial.

"Why must we wear this under our current armor if the armor serves no purpose in protecting you?" Elsa asked, annoyed that she would need to equip more of these 'bras' as Anna called them

"Clothes, Elsa. Clothes." Anna told her as she held up a lacy bra and panties set. "And you have to wear them. Your pants would be uncomfortable without them and well... um... your private bits would be on display without the top." Anna blushed at the memory of Elsa leaving her room wearing Anna's shirt with no bra.

"Finding everything okay, ladies?" A woman somewhere between her early forties and late thiries walked up to them, a smile plastered on her face.

Anna didn't even look at Elsa, instead she turned to the employee and nervously spat out, "We're fine! Totally fine! Don't need any help. Nope. If you asked me if I needed help, I would certainly say no. If there were an award for not needing help, i'd win it, first place, no runner up, just me."

Taken aback, the woman laughed, taking Anna's nervousness as something else. "Don't worry darling, you're hardly the first lesbian couple to come in. But don't worry, i'll leave you two to measure each other's sizes." She gave Anna a wink before leaving.

Anna turned to her alien friend, expecting rage to be boiling out of her as she got ready to assualt the clerk for daring to approach her.

"We are a lesbian couple?" Elsa asked instead.

Somewhere deep down, Anna almost wanted to lie and say they were, take advantage of the situation. But she was a much better person than that. "N-no we're not. We're just friends." Oh but she wished it.

I'm not gay. She told herself as Elsa slid her blue eyes to her.

"Is a lesbian couple a greater relationship than friends?"

Anna looked around again, expecting someone to be listening. "Well... in a way, yes. I mean they have a deeper bond I suppose."

Elsa nodded sagely, seeming to understand. "Then we shall continue to advance through our friendship levels until we are a lesbian couple."

Anna couldn't take it, she turned as red as was possible and covered her face with one hand. "Sure, Elsa. Whatever you want, just please... can you go try this on and see if it fits?"

Elsa agreed and nearly stripped on the spot. Luckily Anna managed to stop being embarrassed long enough to drag her into the changing room and close the door while she waited outside. Anna let loose a breath as she leaned against the door of the changing room. Never did she think shopping could be so stressful.

"I have succeeding in equipping my armor, human." Elsa called out after some time.

"Clothes, Elsa. How many times-" Anna was cut short.

Elsa exited the changing room in nothing but her bra and panties. Anna should have praised her, should have told her good job for getting it on. She should have also praised herself for getting Elsa's size right. But no, Anna being Anna, she just stared wide eyed and mouth open at Elsa's exposure of perfectly white skin. It was almost as if Elsa had been given birth to by snow. The girl's powers weren't a surprise when you viewed her like this, she was ice incarnate.

Though Anna couldn't help but think: hot, hot, hot

"This is satisfactory?" Elsa asked.

Anna managed to close her mouth. "Yes!" She near shouted. "Just uh... just take it off and put your old stuff back on so we can pay for it."

Elsa nodded before giving Anna a full view of both her precious cheeks as she turned around and went back into the changing room.

"There's nothing wrong with finding a woman hot. It doesn't mean you're gay... it just means you can appreciate beauty. I still like guys, I know I do." Anna mumbled to herself.

Anna tried to take her mind off it. She pulled out her wallet and went to check her funds, wondering if she could get more for Elsa.

"Elsa?" Anna called, she recieved a grunt of acknowledgement, no doubt Elsa was fitting herself back into Anna's bra. "Can you tell me the price on the outfit we're about to buy. It'll be on the tag, there should be a dollar sign near the number." Anna waited for a moment and soon Elsa called out the price, to which Anna's eyes bulged out of her head.

Victoria's Secret? Was her secret that she wanted to take all your freaking money?!

Elsa came out of the dressing room to see Anna holding green paper in her hand, counting it over and over as though the numbers would change.

"Are we ready to go?" Elsa asked.

Anna winced. "Well... no. We might need to come back later. It's been kind of a rough month, you know?" Anna tried explaining, but Elsa did not know what she meant. Anna could see that clear as day on her face. "I don't have enough money." Anna admitted.

"Money?"

"You know, currency. It's what we humans use to trade for things." Anna said.

"You need more of this 'money' to finish shopping?"

"Yeah... and this is all I've got." Anna held up a few notes. She didn't realize she'd had so little in her wallet. The money on her card was for the rent, and she didn't want to touch that until she'd paid.

Elsa reached out and took a ten dollar bill from Anna's hand. "You require more of this?" She asked one more time.

Anna nodded.

Elsa held it up, wiggled it a few times and then held it up to her bracelet. "Copy." Elsa said simply. The bracelet shot out a light to it, as though it were scanning it and then she held it out for Anna to take. Anna was confused until she wrapped her hand around the cash and realized it was heavier than before. To Anna's utter astonishment, she was holding a stack of ten dollar bills.

"You can clone things." Anna said emotionlessly.

"Only inorganic material. To clone something organic I would need-"

"Elsa! You can clone things! With the wave of your hand!" If Anna was amazed by the Men In Black thing, then she had no idea what she was feeling now.

"I did not wave my hand."

"This is amazing, Elsa. You're amazing!"

Elsa blinked, wondering why she felt... well happy to hear that.

"It is simple to perform. If I had the tools from my ship, I could do much more."

"More? What could be better than this?! This is... this is..." Anna's excitement slowly faded until she was looking at the wad of cash with a disheartened expression. "I don't know if I can use this, Elsa. It's like you're counterfeiting money."

Elsa did not share Anna's morale compass. "Why not? If it can be done, it can be done. Why not use it?"

"I want to use it... but it's like... we all work for our money in this world. It's what keeps the world going round, you know. We pitch into society and earn money as a reward, which helps us live and keeps society going. I don't know if I can just take this from you... I haven't put any work in for it." Anna said sadly. Oh how she wished she wasn't such a good citizen right now.

Elsa, for her part, didn't understand. What was so wrong with making more money? She said she needed to work for it, but didn't she work enough? Elsa could see how tired she was from work. If the amount of work you put into something reflected your reward of money, then shouldn't Anna have enough to buy all she needed? Humans were strange to her. And if she was being perfectly honest... well she felt strange when Anna rejected the money. Didn't she want what Elsa could offer? Didn't she say it was amazing? Why did she have such a problem with earning just a little extra money without putting work in. Surely she had earned it from her previous work. Besides Elsa wanted to give it to her, she wanted-

Elsa's blue eyes seemed to brighten before going back to normal as she realized something.

"It is not money you need to earn." Elsa told her.

"Huh?"

"I have seen that you humans give 'gifts', yes? Well I am giving you my first gift. Please accept it and use it how you wish."

Anna looked right into Elsa's eyes. "You're giving me a gift? Like a real present?"

"That's right. Is my gift not good enough? Do you require more funds for the gift to be accepted?"

"No!" Anna quickly said. "No, it's fine. I... thank you, Elsa. That's really nice of you." Then Anna did what the alien thought to be the strangest thing.

Elsa, not knowing everything about human culture, found herself perplexed when Anna walked up to her and wrapped her arms around Elsa's midsection and rested her head on Elsa's shoulder. She sat there like a statue, unmoving as she did not understand what was going on.

"Is this some ritual after recieving a gift?" Elsa asked, not having seen anything like this on television.

"It's a hug, Elsa. It shows appreciation, love, and just plain thanks." And she held Elsa even tighter.

Elsa, ignorant of what to do, tried to follow Anna's example and let her hands rest on Anna's back. "Like this?" She questioned, feeling the strangest sensation in her body as she felt Anna so close, felt her warmth and her human heartbeat in her chest.

"Close enough." Anna giggled.

Elsa didn't know why, but the sound was beautiful.
