keeganmegson: Maybe, there's a few things I want to do with them first.

Avery (and are you the same Guest who posted the exact same review on another chapter): Sounds interesting. I may have to keep that in mind for a later chapter.

TPATFan16: I don't think I'm going to do a dog fight with blood. But I would like to see Jack deck Theodore. Well that would probably only happen if Theodore was being a douche about something and I kind of don't want to go down that path. We'll see.

Chapter 10: Conversation Over Coffee

Anna was sipping coffee at their local coffee shop. She wasn't alone. Kristoff, Jack, Rapunzel, Eugene and Merida were all with her also drinking coffee. Anna had just been finished telling them what had happened the previous night; the event that involved Elsa and Theodore. Rapunzel and Merida were both looking a little confused at the story that Anna had just finished telling them. They, like Anna, had thought that Elsa was still hooked on Jack. They all had also thought that Elsa had gone to get Jack out of her head not to get involved with other guys.

"So what's this Theodore guy like?" Rapunzel asked.

"Hmph," Anna shrugged. She didn't know. "He's okay I think. He certainly seemed like a nice guy."

"I beg to differ," Jack said. "Was I the only one that got a really bad vibe from the guy? He's bad news."

Anna raised her eyebrows at him. In her opinion, Theodore did seem like a nice guy but she had only met him for like a minute and a half. She knew where Jack's hatred of the guy was coming from. If she didn't know any better, she would say he was extremely jealous of the guy. After all, Jack had broken up with Tooth for Elsa and had gone to profess his love for Elsa. Then Elsa's London boyfriend suddenly shows up and changes everything.

"So she met him in England?" Merida asked.

"Yeah," Anna said. "She made him sound like he was her knight in shining armour or something."

"So stupid," Jack said. "He just helped her out. Anyone would have done the same thing. He was probably nice to her because he wanted to sleep with her or something."

"Are you alright?" Merida asked sounding concerned. "You're sounding as if you're a little…jealous."

"Jealous?" Jack tried to sound causal. "I am not jealous. The guy just popped off the street. He was a stranger. Didn't she know anything about stranger danger? Besides my original statement still stands."

"Hey don't bite my head off," Merida said. "I'm just saying like it is."

"Well I'm not jealous!" Jack snapped at him.

"Alright," Merida put her hands up to calm him. "Alright, calm down."

Anna had to resist rolling her eyes. Jack was indeed acting jealous. It had been like this when Elsa went on a day with a guy called Trever Owens back at school. She had been sixteen at the time and it was over the summer holidays. Trever worked in the local movie theatre where they all loved to go and he became quite acquainted with Elsa and her group of friends. One day, he asked her if she would like to go get coffee one day with him. She had accepted and had gone on the date with him. Jack, who had pretty much fallen in love with Elsa by the time but she had been completely oblivious to it all, had ended up hating Trever with all his energy. It had just been a onetime thing but Jack had acted as if it was the end of the world. It had been like that when she went out with a couple of people when she was eighteen but they didn't last for long. Anna couldn't help be reminded of Jack's actions. He was doing exactly the same thing he had done all those years ago.

However there was a bit more bitterness and sadness to his actions. In the past, Elsa would only go on first and second dates, nothing more. The people she dated didn't last very long and never evolved into anything serious but now, she was dating a guy she had known for at least several months and seemed to be quite serious about him. Anna just hoped he was the rebound guy and wouldn't last very long. For some reason, Anna really wanted Jack and Elsa to get back together. She knew that Jack had made an awful mistake but she did think it was a forgivable one. This is because Elsa had told her she wanted a break from Jack which Jack thought meant that she wanted to break up. Even so, they weren't, well, really together when he cheated. Plus Anna knew that Jack had made a mistake. Jack was human, humans are not perfect, they make mistakes. Anna could also see that Jack was really hurt by his actions and would probably spend the rest of life trying to earn her forgiveness and love again. Anna just thought that Elsa would just date around a bit and then go back to Jack as she had always loved him. But now that Theodore was on the scene, somehow Anna didn't think that would happen. Judging by the look on Jack's face, he probably thought the same thing. He probably thought that he would go and make his case to Elsa. She would be mad at him, quite conflicted but ultimately after some time go back to him and they would end up together. But, of course, that didn't happen.

Elsa had chosen the healthier route in Elsa's opinion. She probably thought that pining after Jack wasn't worth her time after a while and that moving on was the best thing for her. A guilty feeling arose in Anna. That sounded like something Anna had said to her. Elsa had appeared; tear stricken, shaking and trembling, on her doorstep saying that she and Jack had broken up. After that, Elsa became inconsolable. A lot of things had gone through Anna's mind. For starters, she thought that the world was going to end. A world where Elsa and Jack weren't a couple didn't sound right. Everyone knew that they belonged together and it came as a shock to everyone when they informed people that they were no longer a couple. Elsa had crashed in Anna's spare bedroom and refused to come out, go to work, eat or even sleep. She simply refused to do anything but curl up in the foetal position and cry. Sometime about then was probably when Anna told her that she needed to move on with her life. Anna had only gotten a few things out of Elsa, she never actually got the full story but she knew it must have been bad to get Elsa into this paralysed state. That was probably when she told her that Jack wasn't worth crying over and that she needed to move on with her life which was obviously advice Elsa took. Not that it was bad advice. Anna did agree if it was any other guy, she would be welcoming Theodore into their lives as he was helping Elsa move on and do the right thing. But this was Jack they're talking about. He was Elsa's soulmate, everyone who had ever met them thought so too.

At that moment, Elsa and Theodore both came in. They looked as if they had spent the morning together. They both waved at everyone before going up to the counter to order some coffee. Jack was giving Theodore the evil eyes, something which everyone seemed to pick up on but didn't say anything. Elsa and Theodore came back carrying their coffees a while later. They sat next to Kristoff who was sitting on a large couch with Anna. There was a small moment of silence while everyone watched Theodore and Elsa drink their coffees.

"So, uh," Anna said breaking it. She had a feeling that she was probably the only one who was brave enough to break the silence as everyone was staring at Theodore too intently to say anything. "What have you guys been doing?"

"I've been showing Theo around," Elsa said.

"Theo?" Jack said. "What kind of nickname is that?"

"It's a legitimate nickname," Elsa said. "Besides Theo thinks it's cute."

Theodore gave her a smile. Anna saw Jack miming throwing up.

"Yeah," Theodore said either not noticing or choosing to ignore the exchange that had gone on between Anna and Jack. "You guys live in an amazing city."
"Not as good as London," Elsa said. "You guys have Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, Trafalgar Square, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben and that's just to name a few."

"That is true," grinned Theodore.

"So you are enjoying Burgess?" Rapunzel asked.

"Oh yes absolutely," Theodore smiled at her. "You're Rapunzel right?"

"Yes," Rapunzel said.

"Ah, yes," Theodore smiled. "And you must be Merida?"

"I am," Merida said in her Scottish accent.

"Oh we have a Scot here!" Theodore grinned. "When did you move to America?"

"Oh years ago," Merida said it as a throwaway answer. "My parents wanted a change."

"Ah," Theodore. "And I don't know the rest of you well except for Jack and Anna." He grinned at both Jack and Anna. Anna smiled while Jack sent Theodore daggers. It was hard to tell if Theodore or Elsa had seen.

"That's Eugene, Rapunzel's husband," Elsa said pointing to Eugene. When his name was call, Eugene responded by tipping his coffee mug in the direction of Theodore. "and that's Kristoff, Anna's boyfriend."

"Please to meet all of you," Theodore smiled at all of them before he drained his cup of coffee. He quickly checked his watch. "Sorry I have to dash, been great seeing all of you." He gave Elsa a quick kiss on the lips before he quickly left the coffee shop.

Elsa watched him go before turning back to the group.

"So?" she asked. "What do you guys think?"

"He's nice," Rapunzel said. "Exactly what Anna said."

"Well I'm glad to see that if Anna is gossiping it's something nice," Elsa said giving her sister a look.

"What?" Anna said. "They asked, I gave them my answer."

Elsa then suddenly got a text message. She read it with her eyes getting narrower and narrower as she did.

"Damn," she said. "Work needs me."

Elsa grabbed her coat, said goodbye before she raced out of the coffee shop.

Tooth was walking down the high streets of Burgess. Her thoughts were still on Bunnymund. No matter what she did, she couldn't get him out of them. It was only because they spent the night together, she tried to tell herself, there is nothing more to it. If that was the case, why was she feeling quite weird? The feeling made her feel confident, warm and somewhat fuzzy. This felt strange to her. She had never had that feeling before, not even when she was dating Jack.

She passed Elsa when she entered the coffee shop. She wondered if Jack had talked to her yet. He probably had already proclaimed his love for her and she maybe she had already said the same to him or maybe she was weighing up what she wanted. She found pretty much most of the gang, sitting at the coffee shop. She collapsed in the couch next to Kristoff and Anna. She sighed as she did so.

"You okay?" Anna asked.

"Oh yeah, yeah," Tooth looked at Jack. "So how did it go with Elsa?"

"What's she talking about?" Merida asked. "Did what go with Elsa?"

"Didn't Jack say anything?" Tooth looked a little confused. "Jack broke up with me to get back together with Elsa."

"What?" Merida said in a very thick Scottish accent. "You did what?"

"So you haven't told them," Tooth said sounding a little embarrassed. "Okay, I didn't realise. I'm sorry."

She tried to sink into her seat to become indivisible. She had thought that maybe they already knew that Jack was still in love with Elsa. She had obviously thought wrong. Luckily Jack wasn't glaring at her for exposing a potential secret but was also trying to hide himself from the looks that everyone was giving him.

"Well it wasn't as if we didn't see this coming," Kristoff said.

Everyone then thought about this and then shrugged off the shock. It was true that they had all seen this coming. Jack had been in love for years and the news that he was still in love with her didn't come as a great shock. It had for Tooth though. She had thought that Jack had moved on when he had started dating her and maybe even had fallen in love with her. A stretch, Tooth did know that, but it could have just happened.

"So you didn't get a chance to?" she asked Jack.

"No," Jack said in a grumpy mood. Tooth wondered why he was so grumpy. Surely if he didn't get a chance to talk to Elsa, maybe he just chickened out or something had happened while he was talking to her kind of like how a cat attacked Ross while he was trying to declare his own feelings towards Racheal. Maybe the same thing had happened to Jack. Tooth did hope so. She was still a little bitter at having been broken up with completely out of the blue but she was no longer mad. Maybe it had to do with what happened the previous night. Tooth had to mentally shake that out of her head. She couldn't keep thinking about it. It wasn't as if it meant anything. Did it?

"What happened?" she asked looking from Jack to Anna. It felt like they were keeping something from her but she didn't know what or why.

"Elsa's boyfriend showed up," Anna said.

Tooth felt her mouth drop. "What? Surely she's still caught up with Jack."

"That's what we all thought," Anna shrugged. "Apparently not."

Tooth just leaned back in her chair and let the shock took over. At that exact moment, Bunnymund walked into the coffee shop. He and Tooth exchanged a look. He lowered his gaze down to the ground in embarrassment before walking out of the shop. Anna observed this and gave Tooth a look too.

"What was that?" she asked.

"Nothing," Tooth said avoiding Anna's eye. She and her sister had the knack for picking up things wherever they went. Tooth just hoped her little secret night with Bunnymund would go unnoticed by them but so far that plan wasn't working very well.

"There was something in that," Anna said. She tapped her coffee mug while thinking. She was clearly annoyed that the answer wasn't coming to her. She let out a groan of frustration. Tooth sunk back into her chair. Surely Anna wasn't psychic; surely she couldn't read her mind. There was no way that Anna could deduce based on an embarrassed look between her and Bunnymund that they had slept together. There was no way but then, now that Tooth thought about it, Anna had figured out some things using only a few hints.

"I'll give up," she said. "It'll probably come to me while I'm in bed tonight. Probably wake up in the middle of the night too."

Tooth let out a sigh of relief. Hopefully Anna wouldn't get the answer. Tooth wanted that night to remain a secret. It wasn't as if it meant anything. It was just a night to be shared by both Tooth and Bunnymund. It meant a lot to Tooth as she had been quite upset about Jack breaking up with her. It had just been a one night thing. It didn't mean anything. Somehow, Tooth wasn't sure about that.

Elsa wasn't walking to work. She had lied to everyone where she was going, well not everyone. Kristoff knew where she was going. She had only lied as Anna was there and work had been the easiest cover she could think of. Kristoff had asked her to go get her a table at the fanciest place in Burgess, Crusoe's. It served all kinds of food which were all delicious. It was very hard to get into Crusoe's even with a reservation. It was often booked up solid for the next year. However Elsa had connections everywhere. Being one of the richest families in the world, you tend to make some really good connections. This was why Kristoff had asked Elsa to go down and used these connections and talk to the manager to see if she could get a booking for him and Anna. Kristoff had decided to go for the classic proposal at a fancy restaurant; the only catch was that he wanted to do it with all of Anna's friends around. Elsa had suggested that last bit. She knew that Anna would love to be proposed to while in the company of her favourite people.

Elsa turned down the street that had the restaurant in question in it. Elsa sent a small text off to Kristoff telling him that she was nearing the destination. She received a quick one in return. It simply said 'Good, phase one complete'. Elsa smiled at the text before she pocketed her phone. She entered the restaurant and asked to see the manager. The manager, Kevin Briggs, was an old friend of hers so when he appeared he grinned broadly and gave her a massive hug.

"Elsa," he said. "It has been a while."

"It has," Elsa replied. "How are you?"

"Oh I'm good," Kevin said. "So what can I do for you?"

"Well my friend wishes to propose and he wanted to do it here," Elsa explained.

"Ah love," Kevin smiled. "There is nothing like it."

"Indeed," Elsa smiled back. A mental picture of Jack popped into her head. She instantly got confused. Why would she be thinking about Jack when Kevin was talking about love? It was strange. "So he asked if I could get a booking for him and a bunch of us."

"Well we are booked solid for like the next several months," Kevin said with a sigh as he flicked through a large black folder that contained all the bookings. "But since it's you and a proposal I'm sure I can arrange something.

"Ah thanks Kevin," Elsa got a huge smile on her face. "I knew I could count on you."

"No problem," Kevin said. "If you could leave me the details then I could arrange something for you."

"Excellent," Elsa said. Elsa then wrote down all the details Kristoff had given her. Kevin smiled at her when Elsa handed it to him. "Thanks Kevin," Elsa said.

"Absolutely no problem," Kevin said taking the details off Elsa.

Elsa gave him one last hug before she departed leaving the restaurant waving to Kevin as she did. She took out her phone and set a text off to Kristoff.

Mission completed, requesting permission to return to base.

She got a reply only a few seconds later.

Permission granted, good work soldier!

Elsa laughed at the text before she continued to walk on. It wasn't long before her phone buzzed again. At first Elsa thought it could be Kristoff asking for her help on another matter but it wasn't Kristoff, it was Theodore. Elsa smiled as she opened the text.

Hey, all finished, want to hang out? I know a really cool Japanese place that I know you will love.

Elsa quickly texted a reply back.

Would love to, I'll meet you at your place in ten.

Elsa pocketed her phone and walked off with a bit of a spring in her step and a massive smile on her face.
